Spring Valley City Council votes to refinance bond By R ich Wicks rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com

A regular meeting of the Spring Valley City Council was called to order by Mayor Jim Struzyk at 6pm on October 27, 2014. All members were in attendance. Fo l l ow i n g the Pledge of Allegiance, the Council approved Mayor Jim prior minStruzyk utes and October final accounts payable. The floor was opened for visitors’ comments, but none were offered. Next, a suggestion was made

by Mike Bubany of David Brown Associates regarding possible refinancing of the city’s 2007A Bond. He said this is an opportunity to save the city approximately $36,000 over the next nine years. He also explained that the city could look for other refinancing options, but that would involve uncertain rates and additional fees, whereas this suggestion is locked in at the rates noted in his submission, meaning that these savings would be “locked in”. Council members asked a few questions and had brief discussion, then voted to approve the refinancing as Mr. Bubany suggested. Mayor Struzyk then asked about a mowing bill regarding Mike Wiersma.

Chatfield considers engineering proposals By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com

At the October 27 Chatfield City Council meeting councilors discussed two engineering proposals. The objective of the first proposal is to solve the freezing problem of the north bio-solids tank. The purpose for the second proposal is improvement of the drainage channel bounded by Union St. to the north, Cliff St. to the south, Main St. to the west, and Burr Oak Avenue to the east. Dillon Dombrovski, WSB, presented an engineering proposal at a cost not to exceed $19,810 for the design, bidding, and construction administration for the installation

of an aerobic digester cover to preserve heat on the north bio-solids tank to prevent freezing. The issue had been discussed at the Public Works committee. Freezing has been a problem during last winter and winters previous. Freezing requires Wastewater Treatment Plant staff to manually break the ice, which is dangerous and inefficient. Early estimates for the cost of the cover and installation are $120,000 or more. The council approved the engineering proposal as recommended by Public Works committee. Construction would not be See CHATFIELD Page 2 

explained it had been sent to the wrong address, but that it had been corrected. The Council voted to approve ambulance write-offs as submitted, and discussed waiving a 90-day waiting period for health insurance for a key employee (Jarrett). Members asked whether this would set a precedent, but Mayor Struzyk explained that this is for a key employee, and the Council voted waive the waiting period in this case. Next, the Council considered granting a Sunday Liquor Sales request by Valley Lanes. Currently, alcohol sales are allowed starting at noon on Sundays, but Valley Lanes asked to be allowed to sell alcohol starting at 10am on January 18th for a bowling tournament. Deb Zimmer explained

this same request would likely be made for one Sunday per month January through April 2015, for similar tournaments. After being informed that this would not impact any insurance issues, the Council voted to approve the request for January 18. A threeyear operational & maintenance agreement was offered for the Wastewater Treatment Plant, and was approved by the Council. Department Head Reports were given next. Jenny Simon reported that new carpet was installed in the library to replace damaged carpeting, and she joked that everyone should come see it, but to wear clean shoes. Angie Jarrett reported on the ambulance crew getting new EKG monitors, which is an “exciting advancement” and will

allow heart patients to be treated more quickly. She also said they are still recruiting for more staff. Tim Rasmussen submitted a written report on behalf of the police department. Troy Lange reported that the fire department had a successful breakfast fundraiser, with profits slightly up even though attendance was slightly down from last year. The Mayor reported that the new street sweeper is in use, and doing well. He also told of attending the League of Cities session last Thursday, and said he will share techniques with Council members at upcoming work groups. He also encouraged everyone to vote in the upcoming election. The meeting was adjourned approximately 6:20pm.

Fillmore Central students prepare for college By Jade Sexton jade@fillmorecountyjournal.com

With the first quarter of the school year already gone, some Fillmore Central High School students are making plans for their futures. At the school board meeting on October 28, Principal Heath Olstad stated juniors would be attending a college fair in Rochester October 30. Some juniors also took a PSAT test on October 14, which is good practice for when they have to take the ACT test. A financial aid representative from St. Mary’s College will be at Fillmore Central on November 11 at 6:30 p.m. to answer any questions parents may have about financial aid. There will also be representatives from Winona State, Southeast Tech, and Roches-

ter Community and Technical College. The Falcon Scholar Club Awards ceremony will be held on November 19 at 9:10 a.m. Students who received a GPA of at least 3.5 their previous year will receive the award. Conferences will be held November 6 and 11. The Scholastic Book Fair will run from November 3-11. Special Ed. director Micki Breitsprecher updated the board on the Minnesota Department of Education’s Due Process Site Review. Surveys were sent out to general ed. teachers, special ed. teachers, and paraprofessionals regarding the special ed. services at Fillmore Central. Breitsprecher said most of the surveys have been completed, but there have been some technical difficulties with the electronic

survey. Breitsprecher spoke to the board about Paper Celebration nights. The first was held October 27 in Spring Valley. Others are scheduled in January, March, and May. These celebration nights are for staff to work on due process paperwork. It is not required but staff at Fillmore Central and Kingsland can come and go, and Breitsprecher is there to assist. Personnel The board approved the resignation of custodian Sheldon Stockdale. Jeffrey Dick was hired as the 8th grade boys basketball coach. Tom Siebenaler was hired as the Math Wizards advisor to replace Kyle Rundquist. The hire of Riley Bahl as 5th grade See FILLMORE Page 8 

expected to start until the summer of 2015. Another engineering proposal to evaluate erosion in the drainage ditch described above and to look at options to stabilize the banks was approved. Dombrovski noted that concerned property owners had attended Public Works committee meetings in September and October. There has been substantial erosion in recent years. The engineering proposal has a not to exceed fee of $4,725. Tony Lammers explained there is significant erosion in the waterway near Highway 52. While the WSB study is being completed to improve the whole ditch area, Lammers suggested that they slow down

the erosion near the highway by placing riprap on that side of the ditch. An estimate from Griffin Construction at a cost of $4,155 was approved to do this work. Other Business In Brief •Councilor Ken Jacobson reported on the Park and Recreation committee. No action was taken on any item. A WSB proposal to provide an estimated cost for a fishing pier replacement and stream bank restoration was discussed. Total estimated costs for the professional services and the construction together were about $55,000. This cost included the donation of fishing pier materials by the Minnesota DNR. Councilors Jacobson, Mike Urban, and Robert Pederson agreed this cost to the city is too high. Jacobson said they should step back and take

a look at it. •Park and Recreation has also discussed an aquatic center. Jacobson said we need to take a look at the swimming pool for the long run. •Starting January 4 on Sundays between 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. for six sessions at Chatfield’s new outdoor ice rink, ice skating instruction will be provided. Contact Aaron Milliander with comments and questions. •A proposal for six LED lights for the ice rink costing about $3,630 was approved. •Robert Pederson reported on items discussed at the Public Services committee. Ambulance director Sue Kester has requested a larger TV for the training room so all students can see it. The smaller TV could be moved to the Senior Citizens Room. No action was taken.

•Officer Keigley has purchased and is training a dog on his own time that could become a K-9 officer. An initial discussion about the possibility of having a K-9 officer and what all may be involved began. There has not been a K-9 working in Fillmore County for over a decade. •Joel Young reported on

some of the upcoming events at the Center for the Arts: John McCutcheon concert on the evening of November 6, LOL Comedy Showcase on the evening of November 7, and in honor of Veteran’s Day, Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried” on the evening of November 9.

What we know about this investment in the future... We knoW that our facilities need help, and it will cost $8-15 million to repair them, and that doesn’t address the issues of space, handicapped accessibility, safety, green space, parking, etc. $8 million is a low cost renovation and we know that is short-term, and we will be back to the taxpayers soon asking for more at a greater cost due to inflation.

We knoW the state has provided R-P with triple debt equalization that is currently about 55% of the principle and interest of the new school proposal. It is law. Since debt equalization was enacted in the 1990s, it has never been decreased.

We knoW that our proposal has received a positive review and comment from the state. We are not certain any other proposal, especially remodeling a building that has previously been flooded, would get that positive review and comment. We knoW that MN has many options for tax refunds and deferrals. We have this information on our website. We knoW the school could be built on the proposed site within the proposed cost. Other sites that were evaluated by the facilities task forces were ruled out for a variety of reasons, including increased costs for water and sewer service, annual increased transportation costs.

We knoW a repurposing study showed that investors are interested in the Rushford property.

C ommentary One Moment, Please... What have we created? By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal Cell: 507-251-5297 jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com I think we’ve created a monster. I think we are all to blame for what has become a social disease. And, maybe blaming everyone isn’t fair, but I’m sure a fair percentage Jason Sethre of our population is somewhat to blame. Nearly all of us have been tempted with the fruit from the tree of technology and most of us have bitten into the apple -- no offense to the late Steve Jobs. But, Steve Jobs, the Apple legend, is partly to blame for conceiving the ideas of a Smartphone and a tablet. Now, we could easily argue that if he wouldn’t have thought of those innovations then somebody else would have done so at some point in the future. True, maybe. In every situation we face as human beings, I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge only that which we can influence. And, our individual behavior is under our complete control. I recently started to notice an unfavorable behavior in myself. I was checking my Facebook application on my phone when in the presence of others. I was playing a game on my phone and ignoring the attention of others. I was checking my e-mail on my phone constantly. To be quite frank, I was rude and disrespectful to others. So, as I realized the source of my rude behavior, I took the first Editorial Cartoon

step and completely deleted the Facebook application from my phone about two months ago. And, I realized I should have done this long ago. I’ve gained hours in my day and started to have more conversations -- more personal interaction. I can’t help but think of the time I wasted on my phone that I lost in my interaction with others. Sad. What have these new forms of technology done to us as a society? And, how should we proceed? Friends & Family Plan OK, let’s be honest with ourselves. We really don’t have 1,042 friends; not in real life. Of all of these Facebook “friends,” some of them are real friends. But, most are just acquaintances; ships passing in the night. The reality is that if the Facebook website crashed, burned and disappeared, the only people we would classify as our “friends” would be the people we talk to on a regular basis or intentionally keep in touch with throughout our lives. So, why do we spend so much time observing the lives of people we don’t care to meet up with or contact by phone? I have always joked that Facebook has made stalking socially acceptable. How many of us have gone to a restaurant and noticed a table of friends or family members all glued to their phones? There’s no conversation taking place; just continuous deadpan stares. It’s like there’s a contest to see who can stare at their phone the longest. Usually the teenagers win! And another thing that bothers me is that technology has become a babysitter. How many young children play games on their parents’ phones simply to keep the child occupied? I see it all the

time. As a society, we are using technology to babysit our children. We are encouraging our children to not interact with others. We are encouraging them to become introverts. And, we as adults are responsible for the outcome, so we can only blame ourselves for unfavorable results. We need to step back from our obsession with technology. Because, obviously this has become an unhealthy addiction -- a social disease. First, we must see in ourselves what we may not want to accept. In the Workplace As I speak with employers throughout our region on a regular basis, an emerging trend has business owners concerned. There are employees who are on the payroll clock and supposed to be working for their employer to serve customers, but instead they are checking their Facebook news feed, sending text messages and Snapchats, or updating their status on Twitter. It used to be that employers would have an employee spend a significant amount of time on the phone dealing with personal issues while at work. Today, people don’t have to talk on the phone, but they are still consuming their day with non-work-related communications no different than spending their time on the phone for personal phone calls. Essentially, this is cheating, even stealing, productive hours from the employer -- in which the employee was paid to help the company serve customers and generate income. What’s even more amazing is how these employees will blatantly post messages on their Facebook status throughout their workday when they are on payroll. These employees are leaving a trail of date-stamped messages showcasing their highly productive day on Facebook. Hmmm... interesting. And, with all of this technology

at our fingertips, we have created or accepted a culture in which people don’t know how to communicate with each other unless it involves an e-mail or text message. Some people now lack interpersonal skills due to the crutch of technology. And, if we don’t address it soon, it’s only going to get worse. We are encouraging this behavior by accepting it as the norm. There’s no doubt that the introduction of Smartphones, especially, has created a completely new set of personnel issue for employers. And, it isn’t the device that is the problem. The problem lies within ourselves. We have somehow become tech addicts who lack self-control. Our young people entering the workforce are going to need to learn a few things if they want to help their company be successful, stay in business and provide gainful employment. While you are working for your company, you need to respect their time and give them your full attention. The more valuable you are to your team and your company, the more opportunities you will most likely see to earn more money and grow with the company. Frequently spending time on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, snapchat or text messages while on the payroll clock makes an employee less valuable to their company, in my opinion. And, from my conversations with other employers, I’m not alone. To any employers struggling with this issue, I’d suggest making a copy of this article and handing it to those who seem to struggle with Smartphone separation anxiety. Maybe they’ll get the hint. My Prediction My apologies to Mark Zuckerberg, but I think he and his crew are in for a rude awakening. You might want to sell your Facebook (FB-Nasdaq) stock within the next 12 months, because according to a lot of credible resources this bubble is about to burst. “The social network (Facebook), which celebrated its 10th birthday on February 4, has survived longer than rivals such as Myspace and Bebo, but the Princeton forecast says it will lose 80% of its peak user base within the next three years (by 2017).” according to the Pulitzer Prize winning media source www.theguardian.com in an article authored by Juliette Garside on January 22, 2014. In an August 2013 article titled “Why Facebook Is In Decline,” Gene Marks, a tech columnist for www.forbes.com, cited numerous

supporting examples. “Ruby Karp, a thirteen year old, explained last week in Mashable why she and none of her friends use Facebook. Among the reasons: ‘Facebook has been trying too hard. Teens hate it when people try too hard; it pushes them away. Teens just like to join on their own. If you’re up in their faces about the new features on Facebook they’ll get annoyed and find a new social media.’” Heck, when I do get on Facebook, all I see are shared stories or sponsored links in the news feed. It’s a steady flow of mostly non-personalized content; just a bunch of regurgitated stuff. Long ago, I said that Facebook would some day become overcommercialized, which would deter users. As the most popular social media site in the world attracts every business and organization, because it’s completely free to set up a Facebook page, eventually the site will become polluted with offers and invites. Are we there yet? Yes, I know you are saying I’m hypocritical because the Fillmore County Journal has a Facebook page and we use it on a regular basis. However, we are just like any other business. Facebook is like a free experiment in the world of online marketing. And, we will participate and observe until the referring site traffic drops off until we feel it isn’t worth our time anymore. But, the reality is that our company is continuing to see a decline in referring site traffic from Facebook. While it may appear that I have something against Facebook or its users, that’s not true. I just want us as human beings to take a step back and look at ourselves and how we interact with each other. Are we spending our time on Earth with each other in the best way possible?

C ommentary Perilous prioritization of profit over public By Kelley Stanage Houston, MN I am writing explore the conversation started by Robert Culver and his rejection of what he calls “growing intrusion of government at every level into our private lives, especially the private control of private property.” The Wall Street Journal reported on Feb 20, 2014, “Exxon CEO Kelley Stanage Joins Suit Citing Fracking Concerns.” According to the article, Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon, told officials of Bartonville, a rural community outside Dallas “he and his wife settled in Bartonville to enjoy a rural lifestyle,” when he addressed the Town Council. A 160foot water tower was planned near Tillerson’s home. Tillerson and his neighbors filed suit against the city to block the tower, citing it would “create ‘a noise nuisance and traffic hazards,’ in part because it would provide water for use in hydraulic fracturing.” Tillerson’s attorney said, “Mr. Tillerson’s primary concern is that his property value would be harmed.” Are these concerns substantially dif-

ferent than some the concerns we have heard in our area about frac sand mining? I thoroughly reject the growing intrusion of industry into our private lives. Apparently, Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon, agrees, at least when it comes to his own home. Industry’s escalating disregard for the public good is contemptible. Hysterical cries for “smaller government” and “less regulation” have put the public at risk - - our health, our safety, and our economic well-being. A primary role of any government is to protect the health, safety and well being of its people. Industry, in particular the carbon fuel industry (be it coal, oil, or natural gas), places a higher priority on short-term profit. That is why government, time and again, has had to step in. Here are just a few examples: BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill killed 11 people, pumped 210 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, and caused tens of billions of dollars in damage to the local economy (April, 2010). Enbridge pipeline rupture spilled 877,000 gallons of heavy crude oil, contaminated Kalamazoo River in Michigan (July, 2010). Cleanup was still ongoing in 2013. MMA train carrying Bakken oil

derailed and exploded killing 47 people, and destroying half of the downtown area of Lac Megantic, Quebec (July, 2013). Freedom Industries, distributor of chemicals to the coal industry contaminated drinking water for 300,000 people in Charleston, WV (January, 2014). The above list doesn’t even include the devastation being caused by fracking and frac sand mining. I am not anti-corporation, nor am I anti-profit. I spent the majority of my career in the corporate environment, working with executives in some of the largest companies in the country helping them increase their profits. I do, however, believe the health, safety and well-being of the public should always be prioritized over profit making. People’s health depends, in large part, on a healthy ecosystem – clean air, clean water and healthy food. Beauty is important to human health, as well. We don’t talk about it enough, because it is hard to quantify. But, as John Muir put it, “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.” Theodore Roosevelt said, “Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men, or greedy interests, skin your country of its beauty, its riches or

its romance.” While private property rights may be one of the many issues at play here, it is only one of them. And, let’s be clear, hydraulic fracturing and frac sand mining are being driven by corporate interests –- not just private property owners. When industry prioritizes profits over the health, safety and well-being of the public, it is the obligation of government to step in. Theodore Roosevelt agreed with this perspective when he said, “The great corporations

which we have grown to speak of rather loosely as trusts are the creatures of the State, and the State not only has the right to control them, but it is duty bound to control them wherever the need of such control is shown.” The carbon fuel industry and its entire supply chain (including private landowners who lease their land for fracking or frac sand mining) have earned every bit of scrutiny and regulation they are receiving. “Need of such control” has clearly been demonstrated.

C ommentary Bringing the region together By Tim Penny At the beginning of this month, Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) hosted its Annual Luncheon at the Owatonna Country Club. It was another outstanding event with 220 of Tim Penny our partners from across the region. Together we celebrated our past year’s success stories, with our theme of “Investing in Communities.” We were excited to hear from our past two years’ One Big Thing Grant recipients, as well as award our 2014 One Big Thing Grant Award. This year, we awarded the Regional Community Growth Initiative (CGI) $100,000 for community projects. SMIF developed the Regional CGI to bring together community leaders in southeastern Minnesota to position themselves for future growth in response to the City of Rochester’s implementation of Destination Medical Center in Rochester. We brought together leadership in

the bordering communities to analyze assets and design a strategy for collaboration. The goal is to create initiatives that showcase southern Minnesota’s quality of life and take advantage of the strength we find in working together to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. On November 15, key community leaders and stakeholders will come together and have the opportunity to exchange ideas for projects that will benefit the entire region. We believe this project is representative of our work of Investing in Communities that we focused on last year, as well as a transition to our next year’s focus of Regional Convenings. SMIF has long worked to be a regional collaborator, able to bring together diverse groups and leadership to work together for our common interests. Hosting a Regional Community Growth Initiative was a perfect way to bring together communities all facing the same challenges, but also focus on opportunities that enable them to work together to accomplish something significant for the entire region. At our Luncheon, we also heard from Jan Joannides,

Executive Director of our 2013 One Big Thing Grant recipient Renewing the Countryside. She shared highlights of the organization’s work with these grant dollars, including the development of the upcoming FEAST Festival and Tradeshow, November 2-3 at the Rochester Mayo Civic Center. The Sunday Festival will showcase farmers’ and foodmakers’ products at over 100 exhibit booths. At the event, chefs will demonstrate holiday cooking, and foodmakers and educators will present an array of interesting workshops. The industry-only conference and tradeshow on Monday is exclusively for food growers, makers, and buyers. The conference will offer a range of workshops, access to technical assistance, and plenty of opportunities for networking. To learn more, visit www. local-feast.org. This is an exciting event for our region, and we’re proud to be a part of it. One final convening we are hosting is for our Early Childhood stakeholders. Organizations across the nation, including SMIF, are convening a “Sneak Preview” Launch Event to show the opening signature hour of The Raising of America. These community events are designed to bring together diverse sectors of the community along with

C ommentary Another perspective By Stan Gudmundson Here are few thoughts on this and that. Imagine that you are a police officer out on patrol. You come across two young men who are fooling around in the street causing traffic delays. You have a couple of choices. Ignore them or actually do your job. You decide to do your job even though you are white and the trouble-makers are black. But it doesn’t turn out well. At all. One of the fellows takes offense at your Col. Stan efforts and Gudmundson attacks you. He hits you so hard that he fractures the bone structure around your right eye. What do you do next? Calmly tell him that violence never solves anything and let him know that perhaps there are better ways to deal with this? You can do this in spite of the fact that you are in great pain, can’t see out of one eye, have probably suffered a concussion along with the fractures, are disoriented to say the least, and are afraid for your life? The guy who attacked you? He is 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 290 pounds and he is coming back at you.

And he is reaching for your gun. You are terrified. What to do? If I were that police officer I would pull my gun and empty it on my attacker. To save my life. Just as the police officer near St. Louis did. But to the rioters who followed, it was only about the man’s skin color and the fact that he wasn’t armed. Even though he was extremely dangerous. One isn’t supposed to highlight something else either. More than 90 percent of blacks voted for Obama. For many, simply because of the color of his skin. That too is racism. Just as wrong in the black community as it is wrong in any other part of our society. There is no excuse for it. We are not supposed to point out that there is deep-seated racism among many blacks but until the black community deals with it, relationships between them and the rest of us will not significantly improve. On another topic, a young professional football player gets carried away and punches his fiancée, now his wife, on camera. Reprehensible behavior? Of course. But hypersensitive feminists, girly men, and irresponsible journalists have managed to convict and punish a man of a crime without benefit of trial. Supposedly we have law, police officers, judges, prisons and all of the rest to handle criminal behav-

ior. Why wasn’t Ray Rice arrested? When did we abandon our system of laws and instead allow sanctimonious public hysteria to take precedent? What has happened to Ray Rice is leftist political correctness and radical feminism run amok. Passions of the public, in spite of someone’s bad behavior, do not constitute law. The public is not the law. It cannot arrest, it cannot try, it cannot condemn, and it cannot establish punishment. Except, apparently, in this case. That is wrong and simply outrageous. The scale of Ray Rice’s earning power has been hugely reduced and the prospects for this newly-wed couple is now greatly diminished. The future of this now married couple has been severely damaged by the idiocy of political correctness. Unfortunately Minnesota football player Adrian Peterson is in the same boat. Bad behavior? Oh, yes. But he is being condemned by the public for a law enforcement issue. Next topic. Virtually every week we read with amazement about the number of shootings and killings in and around Chicago. Terrible as these numbers are there is some good news. The Chicago murder rate has actually declined. Declined so much that there is commentary about it. Why, pray tell? Could it be because of Obamacare, Rahm Emmanuel, the get rid of guns lobby, a sudden change for the better in society, or some unknown left-wing effort designed to make us love one another?

Nope. Illinois was the last state to allow its citizens to carry concealed weapons. Though the state has made it difficult to obtain concealed carry permits many have done so and many, many more are seeking them. The murder rate has declined. Gee, do you suppose there is a correlation? If you are an “I’ve made up my mind lefty-facts don’t matter type of person” please have the decency to clearly explain why the homicide rate has been reduced if concealed carry isn’t the reason. And last. One of my military friends is working in a large state’s equivalent of Homeland Security. I recently asked him if he and the organization he works believes we have made any improvement in the

country’s war-on-terror. He said no. As a matter of fact they think that the situation has gotten far worse. To the extent that they have concluded that is not a matter of if San Francisco or Los Angles for example, get hit by a major terror attack. It is a matter of when. That is their assessment but Obama is intent on both reducing the size of our military and its capabilities. This, at the same time we have essentially stopped protecting our borders. Who are we letting in? Who knows? But I do know that George Bush and Dick Cheney seem to be getting smarter with each passing day. And the Obama administration? They seem to be getting dumber though it really takes a lot to become worse than they already are.

GasBuddy update OCTOBER 27, 2014 – The U.S. average price of gasoline ($3.03/ gal) continues its slide to levels last seen in December 2010... and today, more than one-half of the nation’s gas stations offer regular gasoline at prices below $3 per gallon. GasBuddy reports that of more than 133,000 gas stations from which it gathers retail price data via crowd-sourcing, the ‘tipping point’ in this year’s autumn price decline was reached over the weekend when the number of stations selling gas below $3 climbed to 50% of all retailers across the U.S. The last time 50% of the nation’s fuel retailers were priced below $3 was Dec. 28, 2010. “It may seem difficult to believe but gasoline below $3 per gallon can now be found at stations in 47 states,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. “With multiple factors pushing retail prices lower in most parts of the country, we expect we’ll see the national average fall below $3/gal before Halloween.”

the U.S. today is Chattanooga, TN where the average today is $2.66. The lowest priced gas in the entire country is found at an Exxon in Memphis, TN where the price is $2.39/gal. “Global crude prices continue to decline and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) has slipped below $80 per barrel,” added Gregg Laskoski, another GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst. “But, all good things come to an end… EPA mandates for ‘summer blend’ gas ensure that prices will climb back up in the new year.”

Today there are 19 states where the average price of gas is under $3 per gal. (See accompanying map for details.) The states with the lowest average prices are: SC, $2.76; TN, $2.78; MS, $2.79; TX, $2.81 and VA, $2.82. Unfortunately, the highest gas prices in the U.S. remain mostly in states with the highest combined federal, state and local taxes: HI, $4.04; AK, $3.71; NY, $3.39; CA, $3.38; and CT, $3.35.

Monday, November 3, 2014

his entire life living in the Harmony/Granger area, with the exception of his time spent as an aircraft electrician in the United States Air Force from 1954 to 1961. He spent a good deal of his service stationed in Japan.

Olmsted Medical Center hosting women’s health pavilion open house ROCHESTER, Minn. - Nearly 16 months after Olmsted Medical Center (OMC) broke ground on a 80,000-square-foot expansion to its hospital campus, the regional medical center will host a public open house at its new Women’s Health Pavilion on Thursday, Nov. 6, from 5 –8 p.m. Event attendees can take guided tours of the Women’s Health Pavilion, meet OMC caregivers and clinicians, and enjoy some light treats in celebration of the new facility’s opening. The Women’s Health Pavilion features a vastly expanded and upgraded BirthCenter, obstetrics and gynecology services, a full complement of diagnostic radiology equipment and procedures, and many other amenities that make it a one-stop-shop for patients. OMC’s $25 million investment in the Women’s Health Pavilion results from its confidence in its own consistently positive financial performance, the economic strength and continued growth of Rochester, as well as increasing community need for comprehensive women’s health services located in one state-of-the-art facility.

Female patients visit OMC facilities twice as often as men and children combined. While the Women’s Health Pavilion was designed and built with those patients in mind, its services are available to patients regardless of sex or gender. OMC may be able to make employees/caregivers familiar with the Women’s Health Pavilion project, facilities, and services available for pre-event on-air appearances or interviews. Contact Jeremy Salucka (507.292.7203 or jsalucka@olmmed. org) if interested. Olmsted Medical Center, a notfor-profit organization, has been southeastern Minnesota’s hometown healthcare provider since 1949. Our 100+ clinicians and nearly 1,000 healthcare professionals serve at 18 locations, including a multi-specialty clinic, a hospital with walk-in urgent care and 24-hour emergency room, two FastCare retail clinics in Rochester Shopko stores, a walk-in Skyway clinic in downtown Rochester, and 10 community branch clinics.

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende The song ‘Eye of the Tiger’ was made famous in Rocky III. It’s performed by the band Survivor. Anyone alive and cognizant in the 1 9 8 0 ’s surely knows it. The 2014 fall sports play-offs had all t e a m s hoping to channel their tiger eyes, all teams hoping to Paul Trende ‘sur vive’ until SubSection and Section title games. Three county squads did. For the 1A East volleyball title, it will be Fillmore Central (23-7) versus #7 Mabel-Canton (31-5) part three. On the gridiron, #7 R-P (9-1) will play #6 Blooming Prairie (10-0) for the Section 1A title and a trip to state. Those three teams rose up to the challenge of their rivals and will stalk more prey. Chatfield’s Christian Bance is still running. He punched a trip to state in Cross Country. It was a typically busy first week of play-off action.

The Trende Report

Knights Pull Pig-Tale

Kingsland volleyball won just two (tournament) matches on the season. The Knights never were victorious in a full 5-set match. They picked a good time for win number one. Kelsey Frank’s girls, seeded 11th, trekked to Spring Grove and knocked off the 6th seeded Lions. Kingsland took set one (25-18) only to fall behind 2-1 (12-25, 18-25) only to pull off the comeback win (25-22, 17-15). Senior MH Reann Kimbal had a season-high 17 kills (17-18 serving). Carly Thompson added 7 kills. Alayna Meskill (16 digs), Ashley Zimmerman (14 digs), and Hannah Pruter (10 digs) all defended. Pruter added 21 assists and 6 aces. SG was led by Sam Bratland (13 kills), Lauryn Bohr (13 kills), Jordan Anderson (44 assists), and Lauren Arneson (26 digs). In other pig-tale games, 7-seed Houston beat 10-seed L-A, 5-seed R-P beat 12-seed Hope Lutheran, and 8-seed Lanesboro lost to 9-seed Schaef-

fer Academy. Kingsland fell a round later at Wabasha-Kellogg.

Quarterfinal Smorgasbord

Chatfield FB Downs D-E in 3OT

In the game of the Section 1AA football quarterfinals, old rivals Chatfield (4-seed) and Dover-Eyota (5-seed) battled for regulation and three overtimes. The Gophers staved off the big comeback and lived to play Caledonia once again. Chatfield built leads of 14-0 (first quarter) and 28-7 (third quarter). A Michael Otomo TD-run with 3:53 left in the game trimmed the Gopher lead to 28-20. After a Chatfield three-and-out, D-E again went on the offensive. With three seconds left, Garrett Studer hit Joseph Reiss in the back of the end zone from 19-yards away to pull the Eagles within two. A Reiss sweep right then tied the game and forced OT! There (ball placed at the ten yard-line), Otomo (4 yards) scored on D-E’s second play. Dido Riley Ahern on a 5-yard TD-pass from Dillon Bance. Both PAT’s were successful (35-35). In a second OT, Bance again hit Ahern (4 yards), on fourth and goal. Studer hit Ryan Keach from 7-yards away. Both PAT’s were again good. The game (42-42) went to a third OT! There, a Reiss half-back pass was intercepted by Gopher Jarrett Oakley. Chatfield then got a 21-yard field goal by senior kicker Ethan Woltz for the 45-42 win. Carter Duxbury (14 carries, 109 yards, TD rushing) and Parker Fossum (15 carries, 60 yards, 2 TDs rushing) cued Chatfield’s attack. Bance completed just three passes. Two went to Ahern for TDs. The sophomore QB added a TD run. D-E was led by Studer (14-24, 231 yards, 2 TDs, 4 INT’s passing), Reiss (33 carries, 137 yards), Otomo (3 rushing TDs), and Keach (6 receptions, 83 yards, TD).

Burro FB Milestones Past Houston

The four-five 9-man matchup of Lanesboro and Houston wasn’t as competitive as Chatfield-DE. Burro senior running backs Tylar Miller and Liam Dorn each ran wild. Miller racked up 200-plus yards and

four TDs in the first half. He finished with 13 carries for 244 yards and 4 TD’s. Dorn had 15 carries for 180 yards and 2 TDs. Both eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing for the season. Burro QB Will Semmen added a rushing TD and a passing TD to Marcus Mulvhill. Eric Holst added the final two points via a safety. Lanesboro handled Houston 54-14. The ‘Canes were held to just two first downs (courtesy of Burro penalties). Hunter Laschenski hit Nathan Lee on 29 and 57-yard TD strikes. The Hurricanes’ season ends at 3-6. Lanesboro then fell to Grand Meadow in the semifinals.

Cougar FB Drops 91

Yes, that is correct, 91. Threeseed Mabel-Canton beat six-seed Lyle/Pacelli 91-58 in another 9-man quarterfinal! The teams combined for a 78-point third quarter! M-C out-scored L/P 42-36! The Cougars ran all over the Athletics. They led 28-0 after one and 41-16 at the half before the crazy third. The score was 83-52 heading to the fourth. Sophomore Weston Whalen had a career-day (20 carries, 284 yards, 4 TDs). Classmate Wayne Ross (20 carries, 176 yards, 3 TDs) also ran free, topping 1,000 yards for the season. He added an 81-yard kick-off return TD. Senior Keyser Wenthold had 15 carries for 166 yards and 3 TDs while adding a kick-return TD of his own (75 yards). Wesley Richert had a short TD run. L/P quarterback Jordan Hart was 37 of 56, for 421 yards, 6 TDs, and an INT passing. He rushed for a 7th TD. Four L/P receivers had a least 87 yards and a TD led by Jordan Cotter (11 for 127 yards, 2 TDs) and Braden Kocer (16 for 98 yards, 2 TDs). Cotter added the game’s third KORTD (79 yards). The three KORTDs all came in a 3-minute span at the end of the third quarter! The teams combined to roll up over 1,100 yards offense (M-C 659 rushing). The Cougars then fell to SG in the semifinals.

Trojan VB Gets ‘Good’ Revenge

The past two R-P volleyball seasons have each ended against the same team in the section quarterfinals. Two years ago, as the four seed, R-P hosted Goodhue and fell 3-1. Last year, Goodhue was the four-seed and they again beat R-P 3-1. The young Trojans exercised the some ‘good’ revenge by taking the long trip up to Wildcat country again. They rallied from a 2-1 deficit and prevailed 3-2 (2225, 25-12, 9-25, 25-20, 15-7). R-P punched a trip to the Mayo Civic Center for the first time since 2008. Sophomore Brianna Koop had team highs in kills (15) and digs (30). Bailey Holien had 10 kills and 12 digs. Savannah Skalet had 31 assists and 12 digs. Mikayla Crawford (25 digs) and Tatyanna Bronk (16 digs) were busy on ‘D’. Carissa Bieberdorf (10) also got to

double digit digs while Rachel O’Shaughnessy had 9 digs with 6 aces on 33 of 33 serving. R-P was 98 of 99 serving (99%) as a team.

Falcon VB Downs Houston

The 1A-East match-up of 7-seed Houston and 2-seed FC had the Hurricanes notching a pair of feats. Senior setter Alexa Horihan, with her first set assist in game one, reached 1,000-career helpers. It was the only Hurricane assist in the set as FC romped 25-5. Houston fought back in game two, a set dominated by errors. They did something to the Falcons that only one 3-Rivers team did all regular season. They took a set. Houston hustled and defended its way to a 25-22 win. FC took charge from there, winning games three (25-9) and four (25-11) to move on to Rochester. Seniors Sammi Bakke (13 kills, 3.5 blocks, 2 aces), Morgan Malley (4 kills, 33 assists), Leah Scheevel (11 kills), and Sara Schultz (17 digs, 5 aces) led the charge. For Houston, seniors Horihan (13 assists, 20 digs), Elizabeth Tippery (8 kills), Brandy (20 digs), and Bailey Scanlan (12 digs) led the way. Kelly Jerviss had 7 kills. Houston finishes at 14-7. Their seven seniors were a very respectable 32-18 over the past two years.

Three Left Standing

Cougar VB Rallies Past R-P

Mabel-Canton volleyball’s motto this season has been, ‘we don’t rebuild, we re-load.’ Reloading comes with hiccups. After dispatching with Schaeffer Academy in the quarters, M-C hooked up with R-P in a 1A East semi. It was the youthful Trojans who looked most composed in game one. R-P led the entirety enroot to a 25-20 victory. The Cougars, most new to feature rolls at the Mayo Civic Center, weren’t the Cougars. They

transformed back quickly. M-C started game two 7-2 enroot to a 25-16 win. Game three had R-P leading 16-15 until M-C’s top senior, OH Sara VettlesonTrutza, took over. The Cougars finished on a 10-1 run (to win 25-17). SVT had 2 kills, 2 blocks, and 2 aces in the span. She then had a 6-kill fourth set. M-C again started fast (9-2), R-P fought back (got to down 15-13), but the Coug’s prevailed 25-18 for the 3-1 win. Vettleson-Trutza was huge (23 kills, 13 digs, 5.5 blocks, 2 aces). The kills and blocks were both teamseason-bests. Savannah Slafter (14 kills, 18 digs), Coranda Vickerman (34 assists, 25 digs, 21-22 serving), Lexi Thorson (16 digs), and Emma Wathier (14 digs) followed. The Cougars improved to 31-5 on the season. It’s their fifth straight 30-win season. Brianna Koop (10 kills, 26 digs), Bailey Holien (13 kills, 10 digs), Savannah Skalet (30 assists), Mikayla Crawford (30 digs), and Tatyanna Bronk (17 digs) led R-P. Their season concludes at 17-16. It’s their fourth straight winning season.

Falcons Ho-Hum Through Falcons

Playing immediately after M-C and R-P, was the battle of Falcons. FC and W-K went at it and it wasn’t nearly as contested as the Cougar-Trojan battle. Errors actually defined the match. But the FC Falcons, playing less than their best volleyball, didn’t have too much trouble with W-K. They took games one (25-15) and two (25-17) without too much hub-bub. W-K led most of game three including 21-18 at one point. FC finished on a 7-1 run for the 25-22 win, the 3-0 sweep. Leah Scheevel (13 kills, 3 blocks), Morgan Malley (21 See SPORTS Page 13 

Sara VettleSon-trutza Mabel-Canton Girls Volleyball

Mabel-Canton senior hitter Sara Vettleson-Trutza led the Cougars in kills and digs versus Schaeffer in a play-off quarterfinal. She then posted team-season highs in kills (23) and blocks (5.5) in a win over R-P in the semis. She carried her team to a sub-section final. See ‘Cougar VB Rallies Past R-P’ for more.

The top-seeded volleyball team was upset 3-1 by 5-seed D-E in the 1AA-East semis. The Gophers had 30 hitting errors. Cross country runner Christian Bance will carry the Gopher torch. The senior finished third overall (to La Crescent’s Zach Emery and Lake City’s Carl Kozlowski) at the Section 1A meet. He qualified for his third state C-C meet. The LFC (127) girls just missed state, finishing third to D-E (70) and Lourdes (97). Leah Ruen (16th) was the top female county runner. Their breakout year comes to a close.

Fillmore County hosts District IX meeting By Karen Reisner Five 2015 legislative priorities were selected at the Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC) District IX meeting which was hosted by Fillmore County on October 27. The selected legislative action items were made note of at the county board’s October 28 meeting. District IX has 11 county members including Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, and Winona. Issues that were prioritized, receiving the most votes, included Transportation Funding, Investments to Protect Children, County Program Aid, Administration Simplification (Human Services), and Probation Funding Reform.

Chairman Duane Bakke said there was good attendance at the meeting. AMC will reimburse the county for luncheon expenses. Other Business In Brief •The purchase of an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) for the 911 Dispatch Center at the lowest quote from Eaton Corporation at a cost of $32,351 was approved. Sheriff Daryl Jensen said they have been working on this for two years and this is the solution that will solve a lot of problems. UPS covers the space between loosing power and the generator’s restoration of power during power failures. The unit will be installed by Morem Electric at a cost of about $3,350. Jensen said the battery life is

expected to be six to eight years. The equipment and installation will be paid for with 911 funding. •Approval to sign a Bluff Valley Riders grant application was given. The grant application has been made to Minnesota DNR for the Federal Recreational Trail Program Grant. It will be used to build a permanent Forestville snowmobile bridge, the Canfield Creek trail crossing bridge. The grant will cover up to 75 percent of allowable expenses, up to a maximum of $21,000. The grant requires 25 percent matching funds (in-kind labor and equipment). The snowmobile club will construct the bridge, abutments and approach panels. The project is not expected to start until after

“Ask a trooper”

license requirements for operating tractors and other farm implements in Minnesota. However according to the University of Minnesota – Extension Service, kids under 16 working OFF of THEIR parents’ farm must be certified to operate farm equipment on the highway or in the field. Also, remember that even though it may be legal to allow your seven year-old to drive a tractor, allowing this activity puts the child (and other drivers on public roadways) in great danger. Does this indicate that a child or even a person with a revoked/ suspended/cancelled driver’s license can drive a farm tractor for fun or as a means of personal transportation? Most certainly not. It’s for temporary trips needed for agricultural activity or business. As for your choice not to follow the tractor to the farm site and having a conversation, I believe that was a wise decision. If you see something you believe is unsafe or illegal, it is generally best to be a good witness, obtain accurate information and report it to the local authorities. For more information, please go to the University of Minnesota – Extension Service with information from the National Ag Safety Database, including training: http:// nasdonline.org/document/1507/ d001300/minnesota-regulations-forhiring-farm-workers-under-the.html . During 2011-2013, 392 traffic crashes took place on Minnesota roads involving at least one farm vehicle, resulting in 14 fatalities and 210 injuries. Of the 14 fatali-

ties, nine were farm vehicle riders; of the 210 injuries, 54 were farm vehicle riders. The biggest factors contributing to farm equipment/vehicle crashes are inattention, speeding and unsafe passing. When approaching farm equipment, motorists should always slow down and use extreme caution. A portion of state statutes were used with permission from the Office of the Revisor of Statutes. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Trp. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900, 48th Street NW, Rochester, MN 56501-2205. or reach him at troy.Christianson@ state.mn.us.

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Is there an age requirement for a driver of a farm tractor? Do they need to be age 15 and have a farm permit? It is the busy fall harvest season and a person see’s lots of farm implements on the roadways. Yesterday we were Troy H. on a county Christianson road and came up behind a tractor. This was not a small tractor, I would say it would be a mid-size tractor now days. As we approached, I said to my husband, “That is a very short driver ahead of us.” As we got closer we could tell it was a very young driver - he could not have been older than 10 or 11 years old. He was not going slow, either. I will say he did keep checking his mirrors and looking behind him for approaching vehicles. We were both concerned about such a young driver with no adult driving such a unit and going at a fairly high rate of speed. It was tempting to follow the tractor to the farm site and ask to speak with the parents about safety, however that could have led to an unpleasant conversation and could have created another story. Thanks for the articles, keep up the good work and be safe. Answer: There is no age requirement for driving a farm tractor. There also are no state vehicle driver’s

Mom

By Tammy Danielson Minnesota Women and FlipFlops Do you ever wonder if anyone loves flip-flops as much as Minnesota women love them? My husband does not understand my obsession so will continually ask me if I “really need so many pairs.” (Like they are taking up sooooo much room on the shoe rack in the garage…seriously!) Ah, yeah, I do need them!! During a hallway

conversation the other day, I overheard a woman saying she does not own a pair of winter boots and she lives in Minnesota. My amusement turned to a reality check as I remembered that my last pair of true winter thermal boots had hit

Super Easy Orange Glazed Chicken

This is a recipe that has the citrus taste of summer, but the hot dish feel of winter. Totally using Minute Rice for the working mom to get it done quick! I have used this recipe from Minute Rice more than once and love it. Add a little heat with a bit of jalapeno if you like. 4 pre-cooked chicken breasts/sliced (if you have more time after work, use fresh!) 1 Tbsp oil 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen sliced carrots 1 cup sliced celery ½ cup onion, optional 1 cup orange juice 1 cup chicken broth 1 1/2 Tbsps cornstarch 1 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups Minute® White Rice, uncooked ---cook in the microwave in a glass dish, covered 2 Tbsps orange marmalade Cook carrots and celery in hot oil in large skillet until carrots are soft but not mush. Add chicken to the skillet. In a separate bowl, mix orange juice, broth, cornstarch, onion powder and salt; add to skillet. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until chicken is thoroughly cooked, 10 minutes. Stir in the rice. Spoon marmalade over chicken; cover. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.

our garage sale a couple of years ago. But, ah, I do have and love my many pairs of flops—one pair for the store, one pair for going out, one pair for around the house, one of every color so they match my outfits…yes, I match them to my outfits. This might be smart of just a sign of getting old. Please pray for me that I do not have matching plastic jewelry joining the outfit soon. (smile) It is almost a challenge to us northerners to try to withstand the winter freeze---after all, how bad can it get? Well, there was the winter when I opened up our side garage door and walked into a wall of snow. Oh, and then there was the time when my work vehicle was held hostage in the garage until we could get plowed out. When you are young and waiting for a snow day, we l-o-v-e-d those types of mornings but as adults we laugh and tell about the year that it was “so much worse!” If I am still wearing flip-flops in November, life is good. If I can shovel the driveway in flip-flops because it is 40 degrees out although there is a mound of wet stuff in my way, life is great. If tennis shoes can get me to work and back, it is a super day. Note to self: should contact the local weather station and ask them to start judging the winter weather report by the ability to wear flipflops or not that day—right Stacy, my flip-flopped friend? Maybe just put a sparkly pair in the corner of the TV monitor. Of course, this is not the case for our children, so do not share this article with them. They need to be bundled up like a snowman, a spare pair of gloves and a hat at school, boots, and maybe a ski mask for the really chilly days. Their flops are put away in September and are not seen until the next spring…. after mud season. I call flip-flop wearing during the cold season a little gift of adulthood in Minnesota. My possibly off-the-wall opinion is that we adults have the absolute privilege to wear ridiculously inappropriate summer clothes and shoes during the winter---it is a rite of passage, a coat of arms, or two very spongy bad-for-your-heels trophies! We chose to live in this crazy climate so we need some sort of kooky benefit. But, for you non-believers, I

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

Harvesting, drying and storing late-maturing and high-moisture corn Corn reaching maturity about Oct. 1 will normally dry slowly in the field due to cooler outside temperatures. Standing corn in the field may dry about 1.5 to 3 percentage points per week during October and 1 to 1.5 per week or less during November, assuming normal upper midwest weather conditions. Corn has a moisture content of about 32 percent when it reaches maturity. If it has a moisture content of 32 percent on Oct. 1 and we have normal weather, it may only dry to about 22 percent moisture by Nov. 1. As a general rule, field drying normally is more economical until mid-October. After that, mechanical high-temperature drying is normally more economical. Cost, insurance factors Growers who are considering leaving high moisture corn in the field to dry should make sure stalks and shanks are strong. Field losses can range from minor to severe. Compare the cost of drying versus losses associated with leaving the corn in the field. The propane cost per bushel per point of moisture removed can be estimated by multiplying the propane price per gallon by 0.02. For example, the cost to remove 10 points of moisture using $2.00 propane is $0.40. Dividing the propane cost ($0.40) by the corn price ($3.00) provides the percentage

of corn losses that will equal the drying cost. For example, $0.40/$3.00 = 0.13 or 13%. Also, verify the impact on your crop insurance on leaving the corn in the field. Temporary storage considerations Storage in a poly bag can be a good temporary option, but it does not prevent mold growth or insect infestations. Grain should be dry when placed in a grain bag. Higher moisture corn in a bag should be considered as very short-term storage and only at near-freezing temperatures. Ensiling may occur at moisture content exceeding 25 percent moisture and temperatures above freezing. This will prevent corn from being dried and sold in the general market. Select an elevated, well-drained location and prepare the surface to prevent punctures in the storage poly bags. Run the bags north and south so solar heating is similar on both sides of the bag. Wild animals can puncture the poly bags, creating an entrance for moisture and releasing the grain smell, which can attract more wildlife. Monitor the grain temperature at several locations in the bags. Natural air drying, holding corn over the winter Because the drying capacity is

extremely poor at outside temperatures below 35 to 40 degrees, little drying is possible using a natural-air system after November 1. The primary effect of adding heat during the drying process is to reduce the final corn moisture content. When outdoor temperatures average near or below freezing, cool the corn to 20 to 25 degrees for winter storage and finish drying in the spring (April to early May). Limit the corn depth to 20 to 22 feet so an airflow rate of 1 to 1.25 cubic feet per minute per bushel can be provided. This is necessary to dry the corn before deterioration occurs. Turn fans off during extended periods of rain, snow or fog in the spring to minimize the amount of moisture pulled into the bin. High temperature drying Using the maximum drying temperature that will not damage the corn increases dryer capacity. It

also reduces the energy or propane consumption of a high-temperature dryer. Removing a pound of water requires about 20 percent less energy at a drying air temperature of 200 F than at 150 F. Follow the dryer manufacturer’s recommendation; generally recommended dryer plenum temperatures are 210 to 230 F. Excessively high drying temperatures may result in a lower final test weight and increased breakage susceptibility. In addition, highmoisture corn becomes more susceptible to browning as the drying time increases. A cross-flow dryer is more likely to maintain better corn quality if it moves corn from the inside to the outside of the drying column, varies the corn flow rate across the column, or varies the corn’s exposure to the heated air. Debris, mechanical damage Condensation can develop in the dryer when outside air temperatures

are cold, creating a wet surface on which debris can collect. It’s critical to remove debris since it can reduce airflow through the dryer, decreasing its capacity and creating a fire hazard. More mechanical damage to the corn occurs when harvesting highmoisture corn which affects itsstorage life. For corn that’s low-testweight or has increased damage, dry it one percentage point lower in moisture content than normal. Check immature and damaged grain more frequently and do not put immature or damaged corn in longterm storage. Finally, handling and storing highmoisture corn can be hazardous. Become informed of the hazards and recommended safety practices. Do not become a fatality. More information on drying is available by going to http://z.umn. edu/psf.

Minnesota’s Cold Weather Rule Started October 15 Customers can seek protection under the Cold Weather Rule and apply for heating assistance

SAINT PAUL, MN—As the heating season kicks in, the Minnesota Department of Commerce and the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) encourage Minnesotans to contact their utilities now to learn more about the Cold Weather Rule protection to keep homes heated all winter long, and avoid disconnection. Minnesota’s Cold Weather Rule takes effect on October 15 and protects residential utility customers from having their heat shut off through April 15, 2015. To prevent heating disconnection, customers must contact their utility to establish and maintain a monthly payment plan. “The Cold-Weather Rule and energy assistance helps Minnesota families that struggle financially with utility heating costs each winter, especially during bitterly cold winters like last year,” said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. “No Minnesotan should be left out in the cold.” The Cold Weather Rule helps customers who heat their homes with natural gas or electricity to avoid shut-off during the winter months. To be eligible, customers must contact their utility to work out a payment plan and must make the payments. Customers who have a combined household income at or below 50 percent of the state median income ($44,912 for a family of four) are not required to pay more than 10 percent of household income; others are also eligible to negotiate a payment plan. Households that need to re-connect for winter should contact their utility now to take advantage of the payments options. “The Cold Weather Rule is a

safeguard for the most vulnerable Minnesotans during our frigid winters,” said PUC Chair Beverly Jones Heydinger. “It ensures that households in need are safe, warm, and healthy. By working out a payment plan with their utility, Minnesota families can keep the heat on while they face financial challenges.” Minnesota consumers using delivered fuels such as fuel oil, propane, or wood to heat their homes are not covered by the Cold Weather Rule. However, they are also encouraged to contact the companies that serve them to discuss payment options if they are concerned about their ability to pay for fuel. For example, a new law requires propane distributors to offer all customers a budget plan. More information on the Cold Weather Rule is available at the PUC website or by calling 651296-0406 or 800-657-3782. Minnesota’s Energy Assistance Program In addition to the Cold Weather Rule, Minnesota offers the LowIncome Home Energy Assistance Program, known as LIHEAP or the Energy Assistance Program (EAP) to help pay home heating costs. The Commerce Department administers LIHEAP in partnership with 31 local service providers throughout the state. LIHEAP is federally funded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The program helps renters and homeowners earning at or below 50 percent of the state’s median income ($44,912 for a family of four) obtain grant money to help pay their heating bills. The average annual grant per

household last year was $500. Households with seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, and children are especially encouraged to apply. Applications were recently sent to households that qualified for energy assistance last year; others who may qualify are encouraged to apply. To apply, contact the local service provider in your county by calling 1-800-657-3710 or visit the Energy Assistance Program section on the Division of Energy Resources website. While Minnesota consumers using delivered fuels such as fuel oil, propane, or wood to heat their homes are eligible for EAP grants even though they are not covered by the Cold Weather Rule. Minnesota’s Weather Assistance Program The Commerce Department also administers the Weatherization Assistance Program, a companion program of EAP. The program provides cost-effective energy conservation measures to reduce energy costs for low-income households. Minnesotans who meet the income guidelines for weatherization may receive weatherization services; they may also receive additional assistance from the utilities. Both homeowners and renters may apply for weatherization. Other forms of assistance may be available through county social service programs, communitybased organizations, and nonprofit agencies. For a list of resources, visit the Stay Warm Minnesota website. Energy-saving tips The Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources provides a wide range of energy-saving information that every household can use to help control heating costs. Some basic no-cost and low-cost energy-saving recommendations include: •Weather strip and caulk windows and doors to eliminate air infiltration. •Cover drafty windows with tightly sealed plastic to keep the warm air in. •Open curtains and blinds on south-facing windows to let the sun in during the day to naturally heat your home. Seal air leaks to prevent cold air infiltration through chimneys, vents, pipes, and wires that penetrate walls, ceilings, and attics. •Close your fireplace damper when a fire is not in use to prevent warm air from escaping. •Maintain your heating system. Have annual furnace or boiler inspections, clean or replace furnace filters regularly, and consider replacing old heating systems with more efficient ENERGY STAR® models. •Use a programmable thermostat. Set your thermostat to automatically turn down the heat at night and when you’re not at home. More energy-saving tips can be found at www.energysavers.gov. For more information on energy efficiency and energy conservation, visit the Commerce Department website and check out two consumer energy guides: Home Envelope and Appliances, Lighting, Electronics.

State adds 7,200 jobs in September Unemployment rate drops to 4.1 percent ST. PAUL , Minn. - Employers added 7,200 jobs in September, according to seasonally adjusted figures released today by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). The September gains, combined with August figures that were revised upward by 2,700 jobs, bring calendar year gains to a seasonally adjusted 23,000 jobs statewide. Since hitting the recessionary low point five years ago in September, Minnesota has added 212,800 jobs. The Minnesota unemployment rate fell 0.2 percent in September to 4.1 percent, the state’s lowest jobless rate in eight years. The U.S. unemployment rate in September was 5.9 percent. “As of September, it has been exactly five years since Minnesota’s employment level hit the recessionary low,” said Commissioner Katie Clark Sieben. “Since then, our state has added 212,800 jobs, enough to put us 53,800 jobs above our pre-recessionary peak. With 50 consecutive months of over-the-year job growth, Minnesota’s economy is showing signs of consistent, broad-based progress.” Professional and business services led all sectors in September with 4,100 job gains. Other sectors that added jobs were leisure and hospitality (up 3,900), other services (up 1,300), education and health services (up 1,100), manufacturing (up 1,100), trade, transportation and utilities (up 300) and construction (up 200). Information held steady for the month. Sectors with job losses were government (down 4,200),

financial activities (down 400) and mining and logging (down 200). Over the past year, professional and business services led all sectors with 11,161 new jobs, followed by manufacturing (up 10,376), education and health services (up 8,022), construction (up 6,996), leisure and hospitality (up 4,901), government (up 2,347), trade, transportation and utilities (up 1,007), information (up 851), other services (up 678), and logging and mining (up 541). Financial activities lost 1,752 jobs over the past 12 months. In the Metropolitan Statistical Areas, the following regions gained jobs in the past 12 months: Mankato MSA (up 3.4 percent), St. Cloud MSA (up 2 percent), MinneapolisSt. Paul MSA (up 1.7 percent), Rochester MSA (up 1.3 percent) and Duluth-Superior MSA (up 1 percent). DEED has added a section to its website that examines the unemployment rate by demographics (race, age and gender) and looks at alternative measures of unemployment. Another measure, requests for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, continues to drop, with monthly claims for benefits reaching 14-year lows. DEED is the state’s principal economic development agency, promoting business recruitment, expansion and retention, workforce development, international trade and community development.

Hunters reminded that bonus permit use is limited this season Permit areas that allow use of bonus permits in 2014 are: Intensive deer areas - 182, 346 and 349. Managed deer areas - 114, 287 and 343. The metro deer area - 601. By design, more deer will be off limits this year as a one-deer bag limit rules most of the state and opportunities to take more than one deer are few and far between. The DNR implemented these regulations to help increase Minnesota’s deer population. Bonus antlerless permits are different than antlerless permits that can be used in lottery deer areas. In lottery areas, bonus permits are not allowed; however, hunters had until

By Tom Landwehr Commissioner, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Hunters in most of the state are not allowed to use bonus permits to take antlerless deer during the 2014 season, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “Bonus permits are only allowed in seven of 129 deer permit areas this year,” said Maj. Greg Salo, DNR Enforcement Division operations manager. “You cannot use a bonus permit to tag a deer if it was harvested outside of these seven areas.” Salo added that bonus permits are also allowed in some special hunts and encouraged hunters to review the regulations as described in the 2014 regulations synopsis.

Sept. 4 to apply for a limited number of antlerless permits for these lottery areas, where the bag limit is one. Hunters continue to have the option of harvesting one deer in a bucks-only, lottery or hunter choice area, and also using a bonus permit in an intensive or managed area, the metro area 601, or some special hunts. The bag limit in managed deer areas is two; the bag limit in intensive areas is five; and hunters in the metro permit area 601 can take an unlimited number of antlerless deer. But regardless of area or license type, an individual hunter can only take one buck per year. For more information on deer hunting and to see a permit area map, see www.mndnr.gov/hunting/deer.
