Four Daughters wine goes country Veterans groups gift flag to
Chatfield Center for the Arts

A taste of Minnesota made its way to the 48th annual Country Music Awards in Nashville, Tenn. on November 5, 2014. Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery of Spring Valley, Minn. was given the prestigious opportunity to send four of its wine selections along with Loon Juice for a CMA after party which was hosted by Universal Music Group who supplied the wine for the celebration after the awards. Owner Vicky Vogt states that they are very thankful to the alumni from Grand Meadow, Minn. that recommended them to the representative for the CMA Awards party. Winemaker Justin Osborne states they sent one case each of Zinfandel, Riesling, Moscato, and Big Boy. Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery also sent 10 mini kegs of Loon Juice, which is a hard cider with 6% alcohol content. Loon Juice is just taking off in this area but has become very popular in many other areas, including up to 150 bars in Minneapolis, Minn. so far and they are just getting started. Osborne states “based on the volume that has been requested from us, and the amount we produce, Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery is by far and away the largest cider producer in the state and probably the region” and the honey crisp hard cider, which comes in fiveliter kegs, has been given great reviews by patrons. Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery was asked to provide two cases of red wine and two cases of white wine along with Loon Juice about a week before the Country Music Awards.

Photo by Barb Jeffers When deciding on which wines to send to Nashville, Osborne thought about country music lyrics saying “I am married to a farmer’s daughter, so I am well aware of country music,” commenting, “no one sings about dry wine” so based on the lyrics he decided to send a couple sweet wines. Vogt states she is “very excited” about their libations being sent to Nashville, as is everyone at Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery, adding “this is a big thing for us” and it is also a big deal for this area of Minnesota to be represented at such an event and most certainly will lead to other opportunities for the business to share the fruits of their labor. The business has done very well since opening in 2011 and its popularity continues to grow. When asked the secret to their success, Osborne says a lot of what they do is individually artist driven. As the winemaker, he has complete control over what kind of wines to make and the chefs have complete

One of many ceremonies held on Veterans Day was the raising of the new flag in front of the Chatfield Center for the Arts (CCA). The new flag and flag pole was gifted to the CCA by two Chatfield veterans organizations, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). Volunteers installed the flag pole earlier in the month. Tom
French started the short dedication ceremony declaring it was an honor to present the flag pole and flag. The American flag is a symbol of our great republic. Mallory Jefferies and F. Mike Tuohy raised the new flag, as it waved in the unusually cold November breeze. Twenty or so veterans and other citizens attended the ceremony which concluded with a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and a blessing of the flag.
control over what they want to serve. Osborne says their marketing is very good at letting people know about the things that they are doing, adding “I think we are doing good things and I think people are finding out about that” and much of the growth is due to word of mouth and public relations also. The business has become very popular in the area and around the country, if not beyond, and with their wine being served to some of the largest celebrities in the world after the Country Music Awards the fan base has surely grown larger. According to Osborne, people have been very curious about their newest claim to fame at the CMA’s and they have been answering many questions from residents and customers.

Journal Writing Project:
Gobble all the way By Alexis Jorgensen Traditions are a huge part of any family. In the Lanesboro Burro family, we also have our traditions. Turkey bingo is an annual Thanksgiving tradition at Lanesboro High School. The entire school, KinAlexis dergarten Jorgensen through 12th grade, participates in this Thanksgiving festivity in hopes of winning prizes. Every student is given a bingo card and this is where all the fun begins. The office ladies announce the bingo numbers over the loud speaker for the entire school to hear. The rules are simple. If you obtain a bingo, you win! However, there is a catch; you
are obligated to run all the way up to the office while gobbling through the halls the whole way for everyone to hear. After that, the office ladies check the students’ card, and with a complete bingo, they receive a prize. The students usually begin this tradition playing with an hour left of the school day. The Kindergarten students are often paired up with older high school students for help with their cards. This is also a great school-wide bonding activity which meshes the elementary students with the high school students. Everyone is always silent as the numbers are read off in hopes that they will call their number to complete their bingo card. Every once in a while, the classes will be interrupted when the noise of gobbling rushes by their classrooms. This is when the office ladies will announce, “Clear your cards everyone!” and a huge sigh would let out throughout the entire school. Last year, a few of the senior boys got the opportunity to be the bingo number announc-
ers. These seniors included Clay Olson, Luke Rogers, and Garrett Boggs. This was often done in a humorous manner with the senior boys cracking jokes or doing funny voices. Senior Luke Rogers said, “My favorite part of turkey bingo was calling the numbers over the intercom.” This year for turkey bingo, everyone is anxiously awaiting who will be chosen to
have the privilege of reading off the numbers. Mrs. Schuneman, the teacher who brought this tradition to Lanesboro, really got into the Thanksgiving spirit last year by displaying her yearly turkey hat atop her head. I wonder what crazy article of clothing she’ll be wearing this year?! All the students truly enjoy the excitement of this tradition,
as many comments are made about how much fun it is. turkey bingo is a great school-wide community building tradition and will hopefully continue to be enjoyed for many more years to come in Lanesboro. Alexis Jorgensen is a student at Lanesboro High School. She is one of five area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its sixteenth year.

C ommentary What makes a strong lobbyist By Lee H. Hamilton Because of its power to influence public affairs, the press has long been known as “the Fourth Estate.” But I think the media may have been displaced. These days, it’s lobbyists who seem to carry the most clout in Washington. Here’s a case in point. When Congress closed at the beginning of August for its end-of-summer recess, it faced widescale derision for having accomplished next to nothing during the year. In fact, the Pew Cen- Lee Hamilton ter ranked the session as the least productive in two decades. But it wasn’t entirely unproductive. Just before they left town, members of Congress did manage to get three things done: they passed a Veterans Administration reform package; they increased aid to Israel; and they kept highway construction projects around the country from losing funding. Why did these three measures find success when so many others did not? There’s a two-word answer: Powerful lobbyists. Veterans, supporters of Israel, and the combined weight of highway construction interests and state and local governments are among the most influential forces in Washington. Last year, some 12,000 active lobbyists spent $3.24 billion on trying to influence the federal government, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. I don’t know of any other country where lobbyists have those kinds of numbers, spend that kind of money, or get the kinds of results Editorial Cartoon
they’re able to achieve here — in Congress, in the executive branch and, increasingly, in statehouses around the country. But even among all those lobbyists, some stand out for their effectiveness. The National Rifle Association (NRA), the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), veterans’ groups, the AARP: all are very good at obtaining laws and policies in their interests and blocking laws and policies they consider harmful. I don’t mean by this that they’re all-powerful. They don’t win every battle. But they do win most of them. How do they do this? To start, lawmakers have to get elected. Good lobbyists don’t just provide large amounts of money for campaigns, they provide early money and expert help. They donate, they introduce you to other donors, and they help you establish connections that can help during your campaign and later on. Early money in politics is better than late money. Candidates remember that sort of thing. They also remember that if you oppose these organizations’ views, they’ll come at you hard. Good lobbyists and their organizations also provide information in easily digestible form. They’ll assign particular staffers to develop relationships with members of Congress — people who can write a speech or testimony or legislative language quickly. They and their colleagues are sophisticated observers of public affairs who know whether, when, and how to approach government policy makers, along with the particular policy maker who can help them best. They are deeply knowledge-
able about the process of government and have a wide network of friends on Capitol Hill, in the agencies, and in members’ districts — often, their most effective voices aren’t Washington lobbyists, but the grassroots networks they’ve built back home. They understand that at heart, lobbying is about establishing relationships long before any particular issue affecting them comes up, so that when they go to talk about a bill, they’re going in to see a friend. They build relationships in several ways. There are all kinds of approaches to members — the annual policy conferences to which members of Congress flock, the sponsored trips and meetings in out-of-the-way resorts where a lobbyist can get a few days of a member’s undivided attention. But the best lobbyists are also friendly, approachable people who know how to talk to members and policy-makers of both parties. The best lobbying groups also have a lot of money and resources not just to woo policy makers, but to shape public discourse. They make good information available to their advocates, and make sure that the advocates who speak for them on television, online, and in newspapers are well informed. They know that part of the battle is to shape public dialogue. The best lobbyists are masters at making the system work for them. My guess is that their influence over policy surpasses the media’s clout, and they have now become the fourth branch of government. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.
Letter about... Karen Reisner commentary To the Editor, Shame on you, Karen Reisner, for reducing the entire Democratic congressional caucus to a bunch of left wing flame throwers. Your sentence, “We live in a politically divided country and are represented by a Congress made up of left and right extremes”. You continue, “More moderate members of either party have all but disappeared”, is simply preposterous. The Democrats are the same old liberals we always have been, some more than others. Just who are these extremist radicals you refer to? Is standing for a woman’s right to choose, minimum wage hike, protecting the environment, sensible gun regulation, equitable pay for women, civil rights, etc, radical? Is liberalism’s view of government as a servant rather than some enemy radical? What is the liberal equivalent to the Tea party? An explanation is in order, Ms. Reisner: names, agenda, you so loathe.

C ommentary A clear message By Jeff Erding Part 1 - In honor of our veterans “Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few!” When Winston Churchill made this famous statement, he was talking about the costly but successful battle waged by the Royal Air Force against the German Luftwaffe over England during WWII. These brave airman and the skilled ground crews that supported them staved off a devastating attack by the most advanced and deadly air force in the world. Despite overwhelmJeff Erding ing odds and little if any rest, these brave pilots returned to the air day after day in patched together planes to confront waves of attacking German bombers and fighter escorts, eventually inflicting such damage on the aggressors the attack was abandoned. Churchill recognized the event as a defining moment of the conflict and immortalized the successful defense of the English homeland forever in his stirring speech. I wish it was within my power to compose a speech that expressed my gratitude to veterans of the American Military as well as Churchill did. Where would America be if not for the unselfishness and sacrifice of American Military personnel? From 1775 to 2014, Americans have gone willingly to serve their country in conflicts all over the world. The words of thanks uttered by Churchill apply to all these brave and patriotic men and women no matter when or where they have served.
Veterans, on behalf of myself and millions of others who enjoy freedom because of your unselfish conduct, please accept my sincere, heartfelt, and undying gratitude. We salute each and every one of you! Part 2 - Who will be the adult in the room? The 2014 mid terms are over. The American people have sent a clear message: We The People are, for the most part, sick of the false claims of racism, the war on women, being lied to and treated with condescension and contempt. We are sick of a partisan and corrupt IRS and Department of Justice, and angry that journalists doing their jobs and ordinary law abiding citizens are spied on like terrorists while the mosques that breed terrorists and spread hate are exempt from surveillance. We have had it with gridlock at the federal level caused not by conservatives (as liberals would have us believe) but by the Democratic leadership in the Senate, where 352 bills passed by the House sit dead in the water because Harry Reid refuses to allow them off his cluttered desk. (And Liberals say Republicans have no proposals and are the party of NO. How do you implement anything when Reid won’t even allow a vote?) Americans are tired of a stagnant economy stifled by policies that keep us trying to drive up hill with the emergency brake on, and they are sick of the grossly incompetent leadership that has reduced America to an unpleasant afterthought in world affairs. Many citizens clearly have no confidence the current bumbling administration and their minions have any idea how to keep America safe from disease and international enemies. Rather than prosecute a vigor-

ous campaign to rid the country and world of savage criminals with no regard for human life, Liberals prefer to ostracize Sports teams with politically incorrect mascots, Boy and Girl Scout organizations, Christians who profess a belief in the sanctity of life and traditional marriage, and law abiding citizens who believe in fiscal responsibility and the constitution, particularly the Second Amendment. I must admit it was entertaining to watch the rage and contempt displayed by the main stream media as election results flashed on the television screen. They were alternately seething with anger and minutes later so despondent I almost felt sorry for them. Almost. But gloating is pointless and non- productive. It’s time to get to work. Ours is a wounded nation with a myriad of serious challenges. Who will provide the leadership necessary to heal the wounds and restore governmental efficiency? Will Mr. Obama swallow his pride and be mature enough to work with Republicans for the good of the country? During his post-election news conference, he gave no such indication. Jaw set and eyes flashing, he was defiant and aggressive. Despite a tidal wave of public opinion repudiating his policies, he had the gall to issue an ultimatum to lawmakers: “Give me an immigration bill I can sign in five weeks, or I will bypass you and reform immigration by executive order.” Considering it will be seven weeks until the new congress takes office and Harry Reid’s choke hold on the Senate expires, Mr. Obama knows very well he is asking the impossible. I hope I am wrong, but am not optimistic Mr. Obama has any intention of making any changes to his policies. When asked by a reporter if he will follow the conciliatory lead of other presidents in the recent past who faced similar circumstances, he stated, “I will wait to see what Republicans want to do. If I like anything they submit, I will support it.” Not a very encouraging response. More evidence of Mr. Obama’s determination to double down on his radical leftist agenda is who he invited to the White House for a post-election conference: none other than the race baiting, hate mongering, tax-dodging Al Sharpton! Why not just openly put cyanide in a beverage and invite Republicans to take a big drink? This President has no intention of working with the opposition. He is behaving like a spoiled brat, folding his arms, stomping his feet, wanting to take his toys and go home instead of playing nice. {How wonderful if he could do so!} I fear we are to endure two more years of this adolescent and damaging behavior, much to the detriment of us
all. By contrast, the victory speech delivered by Mitch McConnell the night before was measured and conciliatory. The soon-tobe majority leader of the Senate was very clear about his willingness to work with the POTUS. Other speeches by Republican winners took the same approach. But good intentions are NOT ENOUGH. As we all know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Republicans must come together, agree on a specific way forward on the issues that confront this country, and display the courage of their convictions and measured leadership necessary to work with the president and do what is right for America. We have spent the last six years listening to Liberals blame their predecessors for every imaginable problem. Americans are sick of whining and excuses! We want leadership and positive results; if Republicans don’t provide it, they WILL pay the price in 2016. I predict Mr. Obama will issue an executive order that provides amnesty for a vast number of illegals. I hope I am wrong, but the administration has already directed Homeland Security to procure enough material to produce 34 million (that’s right, MILLION!!) Green Cards. Why would he bestow amnesty? Because David Axelrod and Valerie Jarret are advising him to invite a well deserved impeachment, hoping that process will backfire on Republicans the same way it did for Bill Clinton. NOTE TO REPUBLICANS:
Don’t fall for this ploy!! With only two years left, the process would be a needless distraction for the possibility of sending him packing a scant three months early, only to have the moronic Joe Biden replace him. Not a viable strategy. Rather, resist by diplomacy and by defunding the process as soon as possible. In closing to my fellow citizens, don’t be afraid to inform elected officials what you expect of them. Quite a few local liberals survived the recent landslide, but we should not assume they will be as stubborn and unrepentant as it appears Mr. Obama will be. He can afford to cop an attitude; he is set for life with no more elections to face. These other politicians face retribution in coming elections if they refuse to do the bidding of their constituents. Make sure they know where you stand! Page five of the November 10th edition of FCJ has a contact list of our Legislators we should all clip out and put on the refrigerator door. I urge all loyal citizens to flood their offices with a demand to fix the pathetic Veterans Administration health care system! It is especially important to contact Representative Walz and Senator Klobuchar, who were both intimately familiar with the shabby treatment received by our veterans, promised to fix it when they were originally elected, and went to Washington and did exactly nothing about it! If We The People don’t hold them accountable, no one will.

Peterson reviews petition By Kirsten Zoellner As the city of Peterson ramps up for its 2015 County 25 project, the council continues to work out details of related items. A recent petition from eight of the 11 residences on Church Street has requested the city not put sidewalks along that portion of the reconstructed roadway, instead suggesting a four-foot strip of pavement along either side. Whether or not the area, deemed a rural section by the county, should see its sidewalks replaced. It’s been noted during the process that the current sidewalks in that area are either missing, cracked, or under sod. In a response letter from Fillmore County, engineer Ron Gregg has stated that while the decision to put sidewalks in the section is entirely the city’s, the county would not condone the four-foot shoulder, citing safety concerns. Other potential problems related to the widened roadway are changes to drainage ditches, an issue the city is already trying to remedy. The council formally voted to receive the petition, but will make no decision at this time. Final design on the project is currently underway and they council will take the petition into consideration. The city’s Deferred Assessment Policy is seeing changes
prior to the project. Previously, the council had noted that per the policy income guidelines, no one seeking deferment would qualify. Modification to the policy allows the city to use federal Department of Housing and Urban Development income guidelines. Other eligibility requirements, including aged 65 and older, permanent disability, and property ownership are part of the policy. “It’s as black and white as you can get,” said city clerk Megan Grebe. With the project just around the corner, the council has approved a request from councilor Gail Boyum to seek our potential grant funding to assist businesses. According to Boyum, Explore Minnesota offers a crisis grant that seeks to find ways to attract business during the project through signage and other options. She also noted similar grant work has been done successfully in Rushford through its Highway 43 project. City hall will also see a new look in 2015, as well as improved ADA compliance, a leading factor of the project. Currently, the entrance to city hall, while ramped, is barely accessible and both the front door and bathrooms are inaccessible. The city has received bids for the work, which will include new doors, win-
dows, plumbing, flooring, and improved office and document storage space. The council has approved a bid from Atkinson Construction, of Peterson, with a not-to-exceed cost of $24,773. Current budgeting for the project, beginning in 2012 and including 2015 projections, totals $35,000. The new policy will be inclusive of all ages and abilities. The council has approved Phase One of the project and will look to Phase Two, addressing ADA-compliance for its front entrance, at a later date. One additional policy was approved by the council at the Wednesday, November 12 meeting. The policy, to be inclusive of all ages and abilities, comes on the heels of complaints from meeting attendees noting sound quality. Mayor Jennifer Wood drafted a policy stating the city would make efforts to include everyone, making reasonable changes to public programs and services so they are accessible. The city currently owns two speakers and microphones that will be utilized for meetings. The next regularly scheduled council meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, November 26, but has been canceled due to the Thanksgiving holiday. The next meeting will be Wednesday, December 10, at 7 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Residents attend assessment hearing for street project in Harmony By Jade Sexton Residents of 1st Ave SW came to the Harmony city council meeting on November 10 for the public hearing on assessments. City engineer Brett Grabau was there to explain the project and answer any questions from the council or the residents. The project included replacing the water main on 1st Ave from Center Street to 3rd Street. Grabau explained they also narrowed the street a little from 8th Street to the south, which helped facilitate reconstruction of the ditch and help with the flooding and drainage issues. The total amount of the project that was assessed to property owners was $284,017.60, which is approximately 24 percent of the total cost. This includes the street improvements project cost and the utility service project cost. The city is paying 100 percent of the storm sewer improvement costs, the water main project, and sanitary sewer replacement. The city is also paying 100 percent of the sidewalk costs. The amount assessed to each owner is determined by linear front foot. The urban assessments, from Center Street to 8th Street, are $42.72 per assessable front foot. The rural assessments, from 8th Street south, were $30.22 per assessable front foot. Illg noted there is a maxi-
mum front foot of 150 feet and a minimum of 60 feet. This means anyone with more than 150 feet can only be assessed at 150 feet, and anyone with less than 60 feet will be assessed at 60 feet. If property owners choose not to pay their assessment right away, the amount can be assessed to their property taxes over 10 years at five percent interest. There were a couple of questions from the residents about mailboxes sustaining damage or not being replaced correctly. Grabau said the project has not been closed yet, and there are still a few small items that need to be taken care of. He said they did not bid for the contractors to replace mailboxes, but if there was concrete before, they can get that again. Grabau suggested letting Illg know of any problems so he can talk to the contractor. James Cassman asked about a manhole that was not there before the project. Illg said that was placed there so at some point in the future they can feed electrical lines underneath the road. Cassman said it was still sticking up 6-8 inches, and Illg said they would address that with Morem Electric. Cassman also asked about the sidewalk levels, which go up and down. Grabau said in order to be ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant, a

sidewalk must have a maximum 2 percent grade. The curb needed to be replaced in many areas, and they had to create high points and low points. Grabau explained there are many different elevations along that street, and only so much room to work with. Another concern was driveway issues. Mary Beth Ostrom said they bottom out on their driveway. There is a slope, then the sidewalk, then another slope, then the driveway and garage. Although she knows it had to be that way, she is worried about winter and getting the car up the slope when it’s icy. Grabau said a driveway has a maximum slope of 12 percent, and a person’s vehicle shouldn’t bottom out. As for the sod that was placed, many people did not know that
they shouldn’t mow it, although the contractor should have let them know. Grabau said if it doesn’t make it through the winter, it will be replaced. The council approved the assessment roll as presented. Budget The council has been looking over the preliminary budget and levy in preparation for approving the final in December. Council member Debbie Swenson asked why the library’s budget increased by five percent. Illg said the increase was mainly books and wages. Council member Jerry Shuck asked if there is a certain amount of money the library has to spend in order to be a part of SELCO. Illg said there is a minimum maintenance of effort, but he would have to look up what that amount is.
The preliminary levy was set at $570,000, but the council would like to reduce that to $550,000. Swenson suggested asking each department to make cuts to their budget, and look at line items that are in the budget but never used. Illg said tax payers should be seeing a decrease next year. Other business There are several holiday events coming up in Harmony, including the Holiday Fest on November 22 and Breakfast with Santa on December 6. A live music jam with three local musicians was held on November 8, and was very well attended. The council approved a threeyear Union Contract for city employees. A kennel license renewal was approved for The Dog Pad.

He joined the Army in WW II and rose to the rank of sergeant, with significant combat duty in the South Pacific. He was injured there and
learned of the war’s end while on a ship returning to the United States for his convalescence. Upon returning home he joined his brother on the family farm for several years. On May 13, 1951 he married Betty Mae Schwartz, his wife of 62 years, until she passed away in March 2014. They purchased their own farm nearby, where they lived and worked for most of their lives. Among the many things he enjoyed in addition to life and work on the farm were gardening, wood-working, family camping vacations and saving memorabilia and antiques from his own life. In his later years he wrote a short memoir of his experiences in WWII and also made an audio recording for the Veteran’s History Project. As he slowly retired from farming, he remained active in his hobbies, particularly gardening. He often shared his favorite vegetable, sweet corn, with many friends and neighbors. He is survived by his daughter, Donna Marie (Don) Kubesh of New Hampton Iowa; sons: Thomas Craig Timm (James Wilterding) of Albuquerque, N. Mex. and Terry Timm (Janice) of Rochester; former daughter-in-law, Cheryl of Chatfield; sister-in-law, Mayvis Schwartz of Pilot Pound; 7 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.

Canton canvasses election results By Liz Giese The election results for the City of Canton were canvassed by the City Council at their regular meeting on November 12. Mayor Donivee Johnson read the election results, stating that there were 171 registered voters, with 18 registering on Election Day, and 122 total persons voting this year. Johnson received 80 votes for Mayor and there were 26 write-in votes. Two seats were on the ballot in the race for City Council. Ross Duckett, with 61 votes, was reelected, and Charlie Warner, with 60 votes, will be joining the council. The remaining votes for council member went to Henry Seldon 47, Jason Magnuson - 21, Nicholas Prestby - 19, and write-in - 14. A motion to accept the ballot was approved. Mayor Johnson stated that Warner will be sworn in at the January meeting. She and Duckett were re-elected to their current positions and have already been sworn in. Santa Claus in Canton Councilor Cindy Shanks announced plans for the Christmas celebration. Canton residents are invited to join in celebrating the holidays by decorating their houses for a Christmas lighting contest. Houses decorated before the week of December 8 will be eligible to win a cash prize. Shanks asked if the city would sponsor the Christmas lighting contest. The Council noted that it had done so last year with good results and a motion carried to sponsor the contest with prizes of $150 for first place, $100 for second place and $50 for third place. Santa Claus will be at the Town hall in Canton on Saturday, December 13 from 3 pm – 5 pm. There will be lunch, prizes, treat bags, wagon rides and free pictures with Santa. Afterwards, a lighted evening parade will take place at 6:30 pm and the home decorating winners will be announced. Free hot chocolate will be served on Main Street during the parade to help you stay warm. Following the parade there
will be coffee and a pot luck gathering at the Town Hall. Everyone is welcome. Other business Town engineer Jon Nordsving reported that the water tower was cleaned last month and he was told that it is in good shape structurally, but that a couple of modifications to the current ladders were recommended for safety. Nordsving also informed the Council that Randy Ristau will not be spreading sludge this fall. The liquid sludge needs to be knifed into the ground so there are concerns about damaging equipment now that the ground is frozen. Nordsving said they have had problems every year since switching to liquid because they have to wait for the farmers to finish getting the corn out of the fields, which can end up being too late in a year like this. He said he will continue to explore options to help with this issue in the future and will bring it to the Council’s attention if he runs out of room. The Council shared ideas and feedback received relating to last month’s discussion with Richard’s Sanitation about the possibility of using garbage totes instead of or in addition to the bags currently being used. Feedback has been both supportive of totes and opposed to the change. It was noted that the change is inevitable, however there are concerns about the large increase in recycling cost and that a large tote may be neither maneuverable for the elderly nor practical for small households, of which there are many in Canton. Mayor Johnson suggested some ideas for possible compromise, but stated that no change would be made until spring. She encouraged the council to continue to bring ideas to the table. The Council approved the use of a dozen chairs from the Town Hall for Bingo nights. The chairs will be marked as property of the city. The next regular meeting of the Canton City Council is on Wednesday, December 10, at 7 p.m.

The closest, versus Tracy-Milroy-Balatan in the state title game, was 25-15, 25-21, 25-20. Fillmore Central (27-29, 22-25, 16-25) and Hayfield (27-25, 19-25, 21-25, 13-25) each played B.A. closer, proving the grit of Section 1A in volleyball. Section 1A volleyball representatives have finished state runner-up or state champion every year since 2001. Stewartville, Section 1AA’s state representative, was also crowned state champion.

What Veterans Day means to me What Veterans Day Means to Me To me, Veteran’s Day means to celebrate and thank our veteans, not only for everything they have done for us, but also for what they have done for their families not knowing if they will ever see them again Every veteran is very brave. They risk their lives to save our country, even though they miss their families, they still try their hardest to win and keep our country a free country. On Veterans Day we should take some time to think about everything they have done for our country and what they have done for all the people in it. I think Veterans Day shouldn’t be just for one day, it should be every day because they deserve to have people in our country thanking them for what they have done. I’m sure no one knows what happened and what they had to go through and how many sacrifices they have made. I’m very proud of all our veterans for what they have done and for how much risk and bravery they have shown us as a country. If you are a veteran you should be very proud of your self for all you have done, and realize how many people are proud of you. You are a veteran and are important to many people around you. The main thing I want you to know is the pride we all have because of your service, even though you may not realize it. What you have done for us makes a huge difference in all of our lives and you are the people I look up to. When I think about Veterans Day I think of how you made us a free country and I think of how many people left their families to fight for our country. You are leaders and role models, and we all look up to you for who you are, what you have done, and for how much you have changed our lives. Thank you! By Olyvia Wilford My Favorite Veteran My favorite veteran is my uncle, John Pfremmer. John has been serving for over 10 years. He has fought in the Gulf War and has left our country twice before that. A couple months ago John went to go guard a OPen SeVen DAYS A WeeK 9am-6pm

prison cell in Cuba. He left behind his bed, his shower, and his food just to help out our country. He will also be missing important events including his daughter’s birthday and Christmas. Every day his wife and his daughter tear a piece of paper from the chain they made. This is to represent that it is one day closer until he will be home. Most people think Veterans Day is about the people who are fighting but I think it’s also about his family and how they are missing him a lot. But by supporting him they are also serving our country. My uncle has done a lot for our country and I am very thankful. He is very brave and loving. Even though I miss him a lot I am glad he is serving our country because without him we would have to give up the things we love. That is why he is my favorite veteran. By Adeline Peters What Veterans Day Means to Me What Veterans Day means to me is to honor the men and women that have fought for our country, It also makes me remember the men and women who have died while fighting and protecting our country. Without them, we wouldn’t have the freedom we have. Our country would be very different. We could be like other countries where the people have a ruler and can’t do what we can do here. Veterans Day makes me think of all the men and women who are all over the world doing things to make our country better and helping to keep our freedom. I think abo lit everyone In the Navy who are out on ships traveling around the world making sure nobody attacks us from the ocean. They watch for missiles from ships and submarines from other countries that could hurt us and they stop them. I think about the people in the Air Force, the Marines, the Army, and the Coast Guard, too. They all have signed up to do different jobs all around the world to help protect the USA. They are brave, tough, and they give up a lot to help serve our countrv. They give up their normal lives and their own freedom to protect and Serve our country. They leave behind their families and friends and miss out on holidays and celebrations. They love their country snd are willing to give up their lives for all of us. Veterans Day also means to me to remember those that have died because they once helped serve and protect our country, too. Many have died while protecting us and while fighting in wars. They gave their lives for us. It makes me sad to know that people have died protecting our country, and I feel proud of all of them. I am proud of all the people
Monday, November 17, 2014 that serve for us and that give up a normal life to be in the service. On Veterans Day, it makes me think of them even more. By Ajay Ristau My favorite Veteran My favorite veteran is my dad, Derek O’Connor. He signed up for the Army Reserve when he was 17 years old. He went to basic training camp in Fort Leonardwood, Missouri the summer between his junior and senior year of high school. In basic training camp he got up at 3 a.m. and started running at 4 a.m. When he got done with his ten week basic training he went back home to finish high school. He served in the army for 8 years, but never fought a battle. He was stationed out of 544th maintenance facility in Wabasha, MN. He went there one weekend a month for continued training. After he graduated from high school, he went to Aberdean Proving Grounds for 4 months of training as a diesel mechanic. In addition to that, he did combat training. He went two weeks a summer to do training somewhere in addition to the weekend a month. During the two week sessions he went to Italy, Death Valley, Missouri and also Seattle for NCO (noncommissioned officers) training camp. His favorite things in the army were basic training because you got to push yourself through the obstacle courses and the training simulators. In basic training camp they, did KP (kitchen patrol), rifle training, bivouac (armed camp overnight in the field), obstacle courses, MRE (meals ready to eat), and CPR. He also did gas chamber training, hand-to-hand combat drills, and he learned how to use army radios. When he graduated from basic training, my Uncle Mike graduated the same day at Fort Leonardwood. Mike was in the National Guard and a diffe rent platoon in basic training. My mom was at the graduation because my Uncle Mike is her brother. But this was a couple years before my mom and dad had ever met. My dad was brave to join the army. He worked hard and learned a lot of discipline from this experience. That’s why my dad is my favorite veteran. By Jeremy O’Connor What·Veterans·Day Means To Me I think Veterans Day is a day to honor and remember all the men and women who served our

country and left their families, friends, and every thing that ever matters to them behind. They do this for our country and every person in it. It is a day to think about who they were, what they did, or where they served, dead or alive. Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force and Marines, you could be any of these to be a veteran, and if I could I would thank all of them out there for serving our country. Which brings me to another thing Veterans Day means to me. It’s also a day to thank all the veterans for serving our country and being there for us when we needed them the most. Not everyone is as brave, strong, courageous and selfless as a veteran and that’s one of the things that makes veterans so special. Veterans Day is a day to be proud that we are Americans and to be happy that we have veterans to serve and protect us from the danger that tries to hurt us in anyway. No one can hurt us because we have veterans like we do and I’m very thankful for that. If I were brave enough and old enough I would be happy to serve our country, because I am an American and I am proud to be one too. By Ella Springer What Veterans Day Means To Me What Veterans Day means to me is a day that we remember the men and women who have served our country. They said goodbye to their family and friends, They left behind their home. They left behind everything they had to serve our country. They risked their lives knowing that they might not return home. That is only some of the reasons they are so brave. Veterans chose to defend us. It wasn’t a rule they had to follow. They had to push their fears aside. They missed many things when they were fighting. They may have missed the birth of their child. They may have missed their baby’s first steps. They may have missed their child’s birthday. They may have missed a wonderful holiday with their family. Veterans have missed many things, so they could make our country a better place for their children, their children’s children, and for many more generations, That is why we should never take the freedom we have for granted. It is very sad that many veterans never got to see loved ones again. Everything they risked and may have lost was for us. They made our country this wonderful place we live

in today. Not only have they defended our country but they have helped other countries, too. This is why we celebrate Veterans Day. By Kaylee Arndt What Veterans Day Means To Me To me Veterans Day is respect for all the people who fought and gave their lives for our country. Every single one of them are heroes and for that America looks up to them. Veterans are the people who ignore their fears and sacrifice their lives for America. The veterans are the people who gave us freedom. We take freedom for granted and people don’t realize the hard work and dedication that the veterans put in. They leave their family, friends, children, and their normal lives to go and fight for millions of people they don’t even know. The veterans who fought and still fight are very brave and courageous. Not just on Veterans Day should we honor the veterans, but every single day. Without those loyal soldiers our country would be completely different than it is today. Our everyday lives would be completely different without freedom. Nobody knows how emotional the wars are, except the soldiers who actually fought in them. Nobody knows how frightening the thought of actually being shot and maybe even killed in a war is, except the soldiers who fought in them. Nobody knows the pain of being away from your family for that long and the thought that you might never get to see them again. The only people who know the feeling of all of those emotions are the men and women who actually have those same feelings and thoughts. Veterans Day is to thank all those serving and the ones that have already served.The United States of America will be eternally grateful. By Kjerstiana Corson

Deb Zimmer said the public hearing was held on November 5 regarding the conditional use permit for Joan and Wayne Musel to operate an antique/coffee shop at 301 South Section Avenue. Deb said there were no apparent issues, all standard expectations are in place, and she recommended the resolution for approval. The council voted to accept the resolution, and Mayor Sturzyk congratulated the

Chatfield to look at options for aging swimming pool By Karen Reisner Chatfield’s city council approved an agreement with Burbach Aquatics, Inc. to have them evaluate the condition of the city’s swimming pool at their November 10 meeting. Councilor Paul Novotny was absent. The city’s swimming pool is half a century old. Some of the more obvious problems include leaks in the mushroom pool and the sloughing off of the skim coat. The Park and Recreation Committee has been in contact with representatives from Burbach Aquatics for a few months. The Platteville based company, an architectural and engineering firm, offered a proposal to do a technical evaluation of the pool, making recommendations for repair and/or replacement,
cost, and schedule of possible construction work. The cost for this first step of the feasibility study, the professional evaluation of the current facility, is $2,150 plus reimbursement for expenses. Funds will come out of the Swimming Pool Fund. 2014 Street and Utility Improvements and Assessments Dillon Dombrovski updated the council on the progress of the 2014 improvements. West Chatfield and Twiford St. were scheduled to be paved with the base course the next day if the weather allowed. Work on Bench St. is completed until spring when all of these streets should get the final lift or wear course. A fourth payment of $469,029.20 was approved to
Zenke, Inc. for work completed to date. A resolution was adopted declaring the cost to be assessed for the 2014 improvement project. The total cost for the improvements is $2,076,048. The city will pay $1,884,753. A total of $191,295 is to be assessed against benefiting property owners. Payments are to be made in ten equal installments over a ten year period with a 2.93 percent annual interest rate. A second resolution was adopted calling for a public hearing on the proposed assessments for the 2014 projects to be held on December 8 at 7 p.m. in the Chatfield City Hall. Other Business In Brief •City clerk Joel Young reviewed the recent general election statistics. Out of over 1600 registered voters, 860 cast their ballots. Mayor Russell Smith and councilors Mike Urban and Paul Novotny were all reelected. They all ran for reelection unop-
posed. The election results were ratified. Young praised Deputy Clerk Mary Peterson for the great job she does hosting elections. •A resolution to collect delinquent utility bills via property taxes payable in 2015 was approved. The city annually reviews accounts in the fall of the year and takes this action to assess residents through their property taxes to collect delinquent utility bills. •Mayor Smith summarized three proclamations recognizing American Education Week (November 16-22), MoveMN Support, and National Hospice Month. MoveMN is a campaign to urge the legislature to address
Page 17
the need for a comprehensive transportation funding package. •Young reported that the executive director, Tricia Parrish, of Southeast Minnesota Historic Bluff Country has resigned. The office in Rushford has been closed at least temporarily. •Councilor Robert Pederson listed several discussion items at the earlier Public Works Committee meeting. Discussion continued about winter water line freezing issues from some homes to the city’s water main. Public Works needs additional storage for equipment. Possible solutions were discussed. Other issues included ongoing efforts to deal with storm water, progress of street construction, and the cover to be placed on the north biosolids tank at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Red Ribbon Week Activities A fun activity was the Walk Against Drugs, when the students and staff walked to the Nature Center to play on the natural playground. On the “mixed up” day, the students and staff not only wore mismatched clothes, but they started the day with mismatched teachers. All teachers got a “new assignment” for the first 15 minutes of the school day. That was followed by many mixed up opportunities throughout the day, including a mixed up snack. Wild hair/hat day was a popular day. It was a crazy day that ended with some fun activities in PE class. The school also wrapped up their classroom coin challenge. Mrs. Weisbrod’s class donated the most money, but the big winner is the Children’s Miracle Network, which will be receiving a check from Houston Elementary School for $792.00.

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County
Rushford grants Highway 43 project time extension By Kirsten Zoellner As expected, the city has received and approved a request from McHugh Excavating for a time extension for the Highway 43 project. While McHugh will continue to do all work items, excepting a few items that had been planned for spring 2015, as long as weather permits per Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) standard specifications. The change order allows extension to June 15, 2015. Residents anxious to see the project completed will see the majority of work done, but city administrator Steve Sarvi laid out which items will have to wait for better weather. The plan intended to have everything except the final wear course of asphalt paving, sodding, and striping completed in 2014. This method would allow for traffic compaction over the roadway during the freeze/thaw of the winter months, an aid in road construction. However, it now appears that the portion of the road, from Jessie Street north to the Rush Creek Bridge may have asphalt on the main driving surface only and the roadway edges left until spring. Additionally, some curb and gutter may need temporary filling with gravel or other rock. The use of blanketing or concrete accelerants will not be allowed and MnDOT will not allow concrete work if the ground is frozen. Sarvi also noted that it wouldn’t make sense to complete concrete work to lesser standards than specified in project contracts. If the concrete work did not hold up properly, which would be likely, the city may have a hard time arguing that McHugh redo the work since it would not have been done to appropriate standards. “It would have been nice to see the same initiative that we’ve seen in the last three days over the last month,” noted Councilor Mark
Honsey. Hiccups in the project timeline have come largely due to MnDOT aversion to contract incentives. The city had asked for incentives early on, to keep the project moving towards completion prior to November 26, but was informed that MnDOT did not allow them. However, Sarvi went on to note that MnDOT has used similar contract incentives, such as for the I-35 project in the metro area. “Apparently, it is something they do, just not in small towns.” Work will continue on the roadway until weather shuts crews down. Travelers in and through Rushford should continue to take caution through detoured areas. Electrical work related to the project is expected to be completed in December. The poles and lights are expected to arrive early in the month. Pedestals and conduit with wiring upgrades are completed. In other news, the city has hired Nathan Klinski and Ryan Brown to fill vacancies on the department. Officer Klinski joins the force as the second part-time officer, rounding out those positions with chief Adam Eide and officer Ryan Quanrud. Brown is currently the department’s only part-time officer. Surprised earlier this fall by two big personnel changes in the department, the process to fill vacancies has been a long one. “We’re towards the end here,” noted Eide. 13 applicants were graded, based on education and experience and five were brought in for oral interviews. A panel consisting of chief Eide, mayor Chris Hallum, administrator Steve Sarvi, Department of Natural Resources conservation officer Mitch Boyum, Fillmore County Social Services agent Elizabeth Fugelstad, and local businessman

Monday, November 17, 2014 Brad Hoiness interviewed the candidates. Once completed, Eide conducted background investigation and reference checks on the top four candidates, as well as holding an additional one-on-one interview with each. Klinski, also an E-6 staff sergeant with the Minnesota National Guard, is currently employed by Mayo Health Systems as a security officer. He has also served as a part-time officer for the city of LaCrescent and intern volunteer for Houston County. Brown, who is full-time licensed, also brings considerable experience to his new part-time role in Rushford. He is a full-time jailer for the Winona County Jail and a part-time officer for the city of Lewiston. Another of the top candidates had been offed a part-time position, but declined. Chief Eide stated he is open to reviewing the rest of the applicants to fill the remaining three part-time vacancies. A review of 2014 mowing data has been presented to the council and city staff. Data sheets were maintained by Public Works personnel throughout the year on locations, mowing times, fuel, and maintenance, as directed by the council. Hours and associated costs were also computed for the review. Councilor Roger Colbenson expressed frustration with the quality of work performed by Public Works. Per his request in 2013, the city sought out alternative mowing contracts for the work in 2014, but it was determined that the bids did not show a 10 percent cost savings. Should the city have preceded, legal counsel cautioned that, per collective bargaining agreements, the union would file a grievance and that without showing the cost savings the city would have little to stand on legally. A motion was made by Colbenson to seek bids for the work again, with Public Works also submitting a bid, with both to be opened at the same time. The motion was eventually withdrawn, after discussion. “They should know the standard and meet it every time,” responded Sarvi. “We’ve put a lot of energy into this. If you’re going to do it, do it right.” The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, November 24, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
“Ask a trooper”
By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: What is the law in regards to transporting a firearm for hunting? Answer: I will talk about long guns (rifles and shotguns, handguns are another topic.) Ac c o rd i n g to Minnesota State Statute (M.S.S.) 97B.045 Subd1, a Troy H. person may Chrisianson not transport a firearm in a motor vehicle unless the firearm is: (1) Unloaded and in a gun case expressly made to contain a firearm, and the case fully encloses the firearm by being zipped, snapped, buckled, tied, or otherwise fastened, and without any portion of the firearm exposed; (2) Unloaded and in the closed trunk of a motor vehicle; or Subd2 covers exceptions for disabled persons. Subd3 exceptions; hunting and shooting ranges.(a) Notwithstanding provisions to the contrary under this chapter, a person may transport an unloaded, uncased firearm, excluding a pistol as defined in paragraph (b), in a motor vehicle while at a shooting range, as defined under section 87A.01, subdivision 3, where the person has received permission from the lawful owner or possessor to discharge firearms; lawfully hunting on private or public land; or travelling to or from a site the person intends to hunt lawfully that day or has hunted lawfully that day, unless: (1) within Anoka, Henne-
Page 19
pin, or Ramsey County; (2) within the boundaries of a home rule charter or statutory city with a population of 2,500 or more; (3) on school grounds; or (4) otherwise restricted under section 97A.091, 97B.081, or 97B.086. (b) For the purposes of this section, a “pistol” includes a weapon designed to be fired by the use of a single hand and with an overall length less than 26 inches, or having a barrel or barrels of a length less than 18 inches in the case of a shotgun or having a barrel of a length less than 16 inches in the case of a rifle: Take note to Subd3 (2) “within the boundaries of a home rule charter or statutory city with a population of 2,500 or more”. Know the populations of the cities you are hunting near. It will be your responsibility. I would advise you to contact your local Conservation Officer and ask them for their best advice when transporting a firearm for these types of purposes. We are in the full swing of the hunting season and chances are you will see them, or another officer. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws in Minnesota, please send your questions to: Trooper Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, MN 55901-5848. Or reach me at Troy.Christianson@state.mn.us .

Deer hunters encouraged to submit harvested deer for CWD sampling Deer hunters in far southeastern Minnesota are encouraged to submit harvested deer for CWD sampling. Southeastern Minnesota deer hunters who harvest a deer in permit areas 348 and 349 are encouraged to have their deer sampled for chronic wasting disease (CWD) during the opening weekend of the firearms hunting season. Due to the discovery of CWD in neighboring Allamakee County, Iowa, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will be conducting CWD surveillance in those two permit areas
along the Iowa border until 450 samples have been collected. “Working with hunters to sample the herd for evidence of CWD is our best opportunity for early detection of the disease in Minnesota,” said Lou Cornicelli, wildlife research manager with the DNR. “Early detection is important from the perspective of limiting disease spread, and we will make the process as quick as possible to get hunters on their way.” Although CWD has not been found in permit areas 348 and 349, the CWD management plan calls for surveillance when
a new infection is discovered near Minnesota. Hunters are also reminded that deer must be registered in person if they were harvested in these areas and registered during the opening weekend of the firearms season. Registration stations listed below will be staffed beginning on the opening weekend (Saturday, Nov. 8, and Sunday, Nov. 9) of the firearm season. Phone and internet registration options for these areas will not be available on opening weekend. Deer must be brought to a walk-in registration station and hunt-
Fountain City Council has productive meeting By Barb Jeffers The Fountain city council met on November 6, 2014 at the Fountain City Hall in Fountain, Minn. with all board members present. Also present was city clerk Ronda Flattum, Police Chief Tom Mosher, and local business owner, Elliott Riggott. Consent agenda items approved included minutes from the October 2, 2014 meeting, treasurer’s report, monthly city bills and monthly fire department bills. In city maintenance the council approved amending the main-
tenance agreement with Generator Systems Services, Inc. City employee Jon Hanson will perform minor inspections and maintenance on the generators at the WWTP and GSS will perform major inspections every other year at a cost of $535 per unit. Repairs and new tires for the city plow truck were approved. Septic pumping is done. Flattum requested the approval of the Records Retention Schedule Resolution. This would allow Flattum go through old
Minnesota’s snowmobile trails open Dec. 1 Despite the recent snowfall throughout much of Minnesota, snowmobile trails are not yet ready for riding, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Minnesota’s snowmobile trails officially open Dec. 1; however, several conditions must be met before trails open and are ready for travel: •Ground must be frozen allowing for crossings in wet areas. •Trails must have adequate snow cover – about 12 inches – on the ground to allow for trail packing and grooming. •Landowner permits that allow trails on private land must be in place. •Trails must be cleared of dead fall, signs need to be in place and gates need to be opened. The vast majority of the state’s 22,000 miles of groomed snowmobile trail system exists
on private property with written permission from the landowner. The permission allows snowmobile use only from Dec. 1 through March 31. When the trails open, the DNR urges early season riders to use caution. Early season trails may have fallen trees or other debris across the trails, unfrozen areas, rocks or ruts, or standing crops and closed gates. In preparation for Dec. 1, the DNR reminds riders to verify their snowmobile registration is current. Information on registration as well as snowmobile trail maps and snowmobile safety course information are at www.dnr.state.mn.us/snowmobiling/index.html or by contacting the DNR Information Center at info.dnr@state.mn.us or (651) 296-6157, (888) 6466367, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

records and discard what is obsolete. Motion by Wangen, seconded by Gudmundson, to pass the resolution. The council approved the resolution. There will be a Fillmore County Economic Development Summit Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2014 in Preston, Minn. Flattum recommended any council members who could attend to do so. Owner of the Bent Wrench, Elliot Riggott, attended the meeting to learn more of a proposed craft brewery, which would be located in Fountain. The matter was tabled until city attorney Scott Springer could attend a meeting. Riggott stated that he and his wife have no issues if a craft brewery were to open. The council has yet to make a decision whether to approve an off sale liquor license for the proposed brewery. Riggott expressed that the fire department will be building an ice rink in the city park again this year. Police Report Police Chief Mosher gave his report for September and October 2014. •September 3 - inventory was taken of all city street signs. Five stop signs and one engine brake sign have been put up.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. ers are strongly encouraged to allow sampling of their deer at a CWD surveillance station. CWD surveillance is not new to southeastern Minnesota and sampling will only take a few minutes. Cooperator patches will be available for people who donate a sample. DNR staff will be working at eight sampling sites from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Nov. 8-9. CWD surveillance sample locations are: •Brownsville - (Bissen’s Tavern) 202 S. Third St., Brownsville, Minn., 55919. •Caledonia - (True Value) 520 Old Highway Drive, Caledonia, Minn., 55921. •Chatfield - (MSX Nexgen) 105 Highway 30 W. Chatfield, Minn., 55923.

Other Business The clean and coat on the water
tower will not occur until Spring 2015. The company hired to do the work has deducted $500 from the cost due to this inconvenience. Approved an ad for the City of Fountain in the Destination Bluff Country publication at a cost of $189. The council has received a request to remove a tree on a boulevard. There is currently no ordinance or policy in place on the matter. According to Flattum, a resident cannot remove a tree from a city boulevard without city council approval and normally it is the city that is responsible to remove it. Schott stated the city has always taken care of removing trees on boulevards. The council requested the homeowner get quotes to remove the tree and will discuss the matter with the city attorney at the next meeting which will be held December 4, 2014 in the city hall at 7:30 pm.

Mabel city council discusses voter turnout, demolition project By Hannah Wingert The Mabel city council met on November 12, 2014 at 7 pm. City council member Sue Amunrud was absent. Sean Welty from Davy Engineering presented an update to the council. The demolition contractor is expected to come in the next week or two to take out the old water tower. There will be two bacteria tests done on the water from the new tower before demolishing the old one to be sure it is ready to use. American Structures sent a payment request for their work on the new water tower which will be completed next week. The payment request was approved by the council. The underground utility work is moving along well. There have been a number of spot repairs done thus far. Jech Excavating, Inc. issued a payment request to the City of Mabel. They are still working out some details of payment with Rural Development. Welty

suggested only paying for the work completed to date concurrent with approval from Rural Development at this time. The council approved the measure. Mabel resident Mike Tripp was present at the meeting with a concern over the city ordinance that semi trucks cannot be parked on city streets. He stated that he’s parked his semi in front of his house for nine or ten years without an issue, but has recently been made aware that he can no longer do so. During the winter months, the truck needs to be plugged in, and he’s been unable to find a convenient place to park his truck where he would have access to an electrical outlet. City maintenance director Bob Miereau suggested parking the semi in the EDA parking lot on Railway Avenue. An electrical meter could be installed at the location so Tripp could plug in his truck. Tripp was amiable to the suggestion and assured the council that he will pay for the electricity if he’s able to park there. The council agreed to let Tripp park in the EDA parking lot. The minutes from the October 8, 2014 meeting were reviewed
Walk-in flu shot and mist clinic Fillmore County Public Health director Lantha Stevens notes, “Now is still a great time to get a flu shot or flu mist to protect you and your family from illness this winter. Anyone over age six months can get vaccinated for the flu and it is one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to reduce illness.” Fillmore County Public Health is offering walk-in appointments for flu shots and flu mist at their office located at 902 Houston Street NW, Suite 2, Preston, Minn. on Thursday November 20 from 1 to 4 p.m. The cost of the flu vaccination is $25.00 each. Adults with Medicare Part B and/or Medicare Advantage Plans and both adults and children with a Minnesota Health Care Plan can receive the flu vaccination free of charge if all health insurance cards are presented at the clinic. To better and more quickly serve you, wear a short sleeve shirt and bring the age-appropriate completed vaccination form with you to a clinic. If you would like to complete your influenza vaccine paper work in advance, visit http://www.co.fillmore. mn.us/community-services/publichealth/175-public-health-forms, then to the Influenza Vaccination Forms section of Public Health Forms and select the appropriate child or adult form immunization form. Bring the form along with all health insurance cards or other payment with you. For more information about flu vaccinations, call Fillmore County Public Health at (507) 7653898.
by the council members and approved. The monthly bills were reviewed and approved for payment. A representative of Alliant came to the Community Center to finish sanding down and painting the splotches on the foundation and stairs and to paint the handrails. City Clerk Karen Larson stated that the job is still not done to satisfaction. Alliant has requested full payment of the retainage fee, of which the city has paid 25% so far. The council approved a motion by Terry Torkelson to pay another 25% of the original fee and to pay the rest when the job is completed. The voting turnout on November 4th for the City of Mabel was 253. Jim Westby was elected mayor and Terry Torkelson and Melissa Folstad were elected to the two open seats on the city council. CEDA sent a copy of their contract to the council. There will be a 2% pay increase. The EDA reviewed the contract and approved of it. A motion was passed to approve the updated contract. Expert T, the ambulance billing service, also sent an updated contract to the council to approve. The charge per billable ambulance run will increase from $26 to $26.50. The council approved the contract renewal. An adoption agreement for the HSA Master Service agreement was approved. Larson informed the council of the progress on the renewal with Local 49, which handles the city employees’ contracts. There will be a 2.5% cost of living raise and an increase of $1 an hour for
city employees who temporarily work in a higher pay classification. The goal is to have a two year contract ready to sign by next month. A resolution authorizing assessments for special charges on the water and sewer project was passed. The resolution will allow residents who had their sewer systems assessed and updated during the project to pay the costs off with a five year payment plan. The council passed a resolution providing authorization to to write off the uncollectable utility bills for this year. Miereau informed the council that the trailer home on the forfeited land at 321 Locust Street North can be crushed and fit into a roll-off. Before crushing it, he will salvage whatever he’s able to from the trailer. He has already salvaged several scrapbooks from the 1940’s era and turned them over to the Mabel Public Library. The things left in the former Quilter’s Corner building can also be disposed of in the roll-off. The cost for the roll-off is estimated to be $300. A tree that has grown over the electric lines on the Locust Street lot will be cut down after the trailer has been broken up and removed. Miereau plans to complete the projects within the next few weeks. Several council members expressed concern that the lettering on the new water tower is too small to read. Miereau will find out how much Kelly Printing and Signs would charge for larger letters. The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be held December 10, 2014 at 7 p.m.

THANK YOU
2x2, 2x4 & 2x8 ads to run ONE TIME, the week beginning 11/1 This is a mite late (like a whole year!), but we’re still thankful for the wonderful 50th anniversary celebration our children, their spouses, and grandchildren gave us last November 9th, 2013. We give thanks and praise to our Lord and Savior for all the blessings He has bestowed on us in the past 51 yrs. We’re thankful to our family for the fun day of celebrating plus all the work they did planning and making it such a great day. Thank you to all who celebrated with us or sent greetings. Thanks to all who gave food or monetary gifts to the Fillmore County food shelf. Over 100# of food was collected, plus the monetary gifts were doubled thanks to the Preston Mason’s who matched the monetary gifts—what an awesome gift in itself. Again thanks to all from the bottom of our hearts. God’s blessings to all. Richard and Annette Kiehne t17-o ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
