Fillmore Central kids help paint Preston mural Veteran StorieS

By H annah Wingert hannah@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The K-6 students at Fillmore Central got a chance to help create Preston’s new landmark, a 16’ x 26’ outdoor mural that will be hung on the wall of the Preston Public Library above the entrance to the city offices. “The Preston Arts Council had been wanting to do a mural for quite some time,” Alison Love Unzelman said. Kay Spangler, a member of the council knew that Unzelman had created murals before and asked if she would meet with the council to make her pitch. The members of the Arts Council worked with Unzelman to design the mural, making sure that it accurately depicted the heart of Preston. After several months of hammering out the details of loca-

By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com

In closed meeting, following the Tuesday, November 1 open meeting, the Rushford Village Council met with City Attorney Tom Manion to discuss “pending or threatened litigation.” The issue pertains to a contract dispute with McHugh Excavating of Onalaska, Wis. May 3 of this year, the council awarded a $665,000 bid, part of a larger $878,000 project to the 40-year company. The roadway and culvert project was bid with a base project and alternates A and B, and

tion, size, images, and more, the mural design was finalized. The Preston City Council was involved in the process as well and approved the location. The next step was painting the mural. Unzelman had done extensive research to determine what material would be best and decided on sheets of aluminum to prevent rust. “The mural can stand for decades,” she said, adding that painting it on the aluminum rather than on the building itself would make it more durable. Two coats of outdoor varnish will be applied to each panel of the mural before it’s hung. Unzelman ordered 14 sheets of aluminum from a machinist shop and etched them, which allowed the primer she used to stick to the surface. She then drew an outline of the mural

Ostrander repairs and park damage discussed By R ich Wicks rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The Ostrander City Council met on November 1, with all members present: Erin Volkart, Pam Kunert, Mayor Pat Nesler, Clerk Chris Hyrkas, Heidi Jones, and DJ Start. Police Chief Tom Mosher informed the council of an incident in which a person caused extensive damages to the city park on October 27, by driving through the park repeatedly. Chief Mosher said the vehicle’s tires tore up the sod, and several of the marks were over 100 feet long. He also explained that there were several eye witnesses

to the incident, as well as photographic evidence of the suspect’s vehicle, including the license plate number. Chief Mosher said the suspect was reportedly upset about being terminated from employment, and that may have been the reason for the damages. Criminal charges will be coming. Mosher said overall, “Things were pretty quiet in October, until Thursday,” (October 27). He said after looking into the city’s ordinances relating to winter parking and snow removal, there are three ordinances curSee OSTRANDER Page 5 

design, blew it up to the full 16’ x 26’ size, and transferred it to the aluminum sheets. Then came the fun part - the pop-up studios. They were open to the public, and community members of all ages were welcome to help paint the aluminum panels for the mural. The volunteers worked on painting the base colors for the mural. After each popup studio, Unzelman carted the panels back to her studio in Becker, Minnesota to add the highlights, shadows, and details. The first two pop-up studios were held at Christ Lutheran for a week-long period in July and in August. The third and final pop-up

Monday, November 7, 2016

studio took place in October at Fillmore Central art teacher, Ann Sparks’ room. Each student, from kindergarten through 6th grade, was able to spend about five minutes painting a section of the mural. “I’m sure some kids might have liked to paint longer, but we wanted to make sure everyone had a chance,” Unzelman said. Mrs. Sparks had been a part of the process for the mural since the beginning stages and was excited to see her art students participate. The painting took place during each class’s regular art class time. The students were able to paint some of the leaves and the background color for the bluff on the mural.

in the room to help the kids get their paint shirts on and wash up after they were done painting. A mockup of the mural was hung up in the Mrs. Sparks’ classroom so the students could see what the finished product will look like and to show them what they just helped to paint. A black and white 4 ½ foot tall paper version of the mural was also available in the classroom for the kids to color however they wanted while they waited their turn to paint the real deal. Unzelman took pictures of each class when they were done painting, and the pictures will be hung up in the hallway outside of the art room along with the poster of the mural that the children colored. “Some of the kids were really excited about it,” Mrs. Sparks said. “They said that they planned to bring their kids back when they get older and show them what they were a part of.” Many of the other teachers came to look at the mural and some, including Superintendent Richard Keith, even helped paint some of it. While she was at Fillmore Central, Unzelman got to see her 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Paulson. Her former art teacher, Gary Post, even stopped in to help paint the mural with the kids. The completed mural is scheduled to be hung in May, 2017.

C ommentary Journal Writing Project:

I’m not afraid to talk about what everyone else finds too innapropriate By Anna Uhrhammer What if I told you that there is an epidemic spreading across our entire world? What if I said that one of the most public health issues our society is facing today is readily available in Anna every home, Uhrhammer but few people are educated on how bad it is? What if I told you that there is science and research proving that this problem is at the root of affecting human lives and relationships? Whether you like it or not, everything I have stated above is true. This is a huge social issue, and it deeply affects our lives and relationships. Have you guessed what I’m talking about yet? Probably not, because I am talking about pornography. Don’t put the paper down

just yet. Please don’t run away. Listen to what I have to say. Pornography is harmful, and the science is here to prove it. Pornography harms the brain by changing it and rewiring it. It floods the brain with the pleasure chemical- dopamine. The rush of dopamine to the brain happens over and over until it rewires the brain’s reward pathway, ultimately changing the makeup of the viewer’s brain. This can result in an increased “need” or appetite for these sexually explicit videos. It not only affects the viewer, but it also affects the people around them as well. Studies found that after being exposed to pornographic images, “people were more critical of their partner’s appearance, sexual curiosity, sexual performance, and displays of affection.” (FTND.org, 2015). Then we can’t forget about the inseparable connection between the pornography industry and the sex trafficking industry. Trafficking pri-

marily involves exploitation which comes in many forms. They will be forced into prostitution, slavery, or forced to commit sexual acts for the purpose of creating pornography. The organization Fight The New Drug cites a 2007 study of 854 women in 9 countries that found 49% of women said that “[pornogrpahy] had been made of them while they were in prostitution, and 47% said they had been harmed by men who had either forced or tried to force their victims to do things the men had seen in it [pornography].” Pornography fuels the demand for sex trade. This is not only a problem within itself. It’s the four letter word that most people are too scared/embarrassed/uncomfortable to talk about, or even say. Somewhere along the way, pornography became a topic that we just don’t talk about. Right now, we are living in a society where it has become mainstream. Yet, still, the discussion about it has remained taboo.

Give to the Max in Preston on November 17 The Preston Area Community Foundation (PACF) is gearing up for “Give to the Max Day,” which is set for Thursday, November 17. Give to the Max Day is Minnesota’s statewide day of giving. This is the fifth consecutive year PACF has participated in this event, with all donations going into the endowment fund. The endowment fund and earnings are used locally for worthwhile community projects and programs. The foundation has set a Editorial Cartoon

goal of educating people about the importance of the foundation to the greater Preston area and, ultimately, increasing the number of donors. PACF has set a 2016 Give to the Max Day goal of $22,000 during this 24-hour period. Last year, the foundation raised $20,666 on Give to the Max Day. The first $5,000 donated to PACF on November 17 will be matched dollar for dollar by the F&M Community Bank

and Dan Christianson. As an added incentive, F&M and Dan Christianson have also pledged an additional 10% bonus on the total amount the community contributes that day. With these generous incentives, it is a great day to make a tax deductible contribution to PACF with double the impact! In the past year, PACF has donated to Fillmore Central School’s ceramic startup program, Fillmore Central School’s Mon-

Several studies from scientists at FightTheNewDrug.org (2009) have found that it also affects the partners of people who view pornography. They have reported feeling loss, betrayal, mistrust, devastation, and anger when they find out that their significant other is watching pornography. Many show physical symptoms of anxiety and depression. The pain can have very serious consequences. Many partners show signs of PTSD and some even become suicidal. They feel like they are not living up to their partner’s standards. A study of the most popular pornography videos found that nine scenes out of ten showed women being physically or verbally abused, yet the female victim almost always responded with either pleasure or appeared to be neutral. Think about this. We have 24/7, 365 unlimited access to watching pornography with the click of a button on a device that fits in our pocket. We are the first generation in history ster Bash, Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery Rifle Squad, and the Preston Arts Council Mural. PACF is making it very easy to donate this year. You can donate securely online November 17 from midnight to 11:59 p.m. with your debit or credit card at http://bit.do/preston-area-foundation. You can also drop off your donation anytime between now and November 17 at F&M Community Bank in Preston. Your checks will be processed on November 17 to take advantage of the matching incentives. PACF board members will be at the F&M Community Bank on Thursday, November 17, serving cookies and coffee in the community room. PACF is organized as an endowed designated fund of the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation.

rently in effect, and all that really needs to be done is to purchase and put up signs. He suggested buying three high density reflective signs for $109. He said if the council agrees to this, he would order them, and they should be received in a week or two. The council unanimously voted to OK this plan. Chief Mosher then discussed the clean-up progress on the Nate Cole property, saying that Cole has made good progress. There has been a temporary structure put up to store items, siding is being installed on the house, and a fence is being installed. Vehicles are licensed and operable, and have been moved further to the edge of the street, and are now considered to be legally parked. Mosher showed pictures of how the property looked in July, as well as the current situation. He stated, “It looks like to me, everything that’s laying there now is related to his siding project.” Regarding the structure and fencing, Heidi Jones stated, “He’s made a lot of improvements…As long as it’s contained and I can’t see it, it doesn’t bother me.” She also thanked Chief Mosher for all of his time and effort to help get this situation addressed. Chief Mosher said one benefit of having this property cleaned up is that now he can address this with Weather permitting on

other property owners in town who have similar issues. There was discussion about establishing a city ordinance to address the allowable number of vehicles on a property. The council also discussed the idea of having citywide cleanup twice annually instead of once, to help citizens control any such issues. No formal action was taken on either of these ideas. The council discussed the idea of having a “snowbird rate” for water and sewer charges to citizens who are gone for months at a time. After much discussion, the council voted to offer such “snowbirds” the option of 50% of the base rate for water and

sewer, or a 50% rate for turning their water off and then on again later. The city will create an application for citizens to submit when requesting these snowbird rates. The council also voted to assess unpaid water/sewer bills and costs for properties the city mowed. These costs will be added to the appropriate property owners’ tax assessments. The council considered damage to the ladder and lighting on the water tower. A letter from Shawn Mulhern of KLM Engineering explained that the rolling roof ladder has shifted and caused some separation of the conduit and wires for the lighting. He said the ladder should

have been permanently mounted years ago, and is a dangerous situation that needs to be bolted or chained in place. The lighting will also need to be repaired. The council discussed whether or not lighting is required on the water tower, and Chief Mosher said his concern is that Mayo One (helicopters) may not come into Ostrander if the water tower isn’t lighted. The city will look into the cost of repairing the wiring and lighting system, as well as

the cost of installing a solar-powered light with battery backup. The council OK’d whichever is more affordable, up to $1,000. The city will also get the ladder chained up so it stays in place. The council OK’d purchasing propane from Kruegels at a price of $.879 per gallon. The council also approved the applications of five new medical responders, and approved two liquor license renewals. The council then conducted city employee reviews.

An open letter from State Senator Jeremy Miller It’s a great honor to serve the people of Fillmore, Houston, and Winona counties as a member of the Minnesota Senate. I hold this position in the highest regard and work extremely hard to get positive results for our district and the state of Minnesota. As I travel our district visiting with constituents, people share their disappointed with all of the negative campaign ads, especially this year with the chaos at the presidential level. My opponent, Jon Pieper, has a reputation of negative campaigning, but unfortunately, he has taken it to a new low this year. It began when Mr. Pieper admittedly distributed literature containing false information about my voting record and now he and his allies continue to make misleading statements about votes I took in the Senate. However, most disturbing was a letter attacking my wife and family. While my opponent goes negative, I will continue to stay positive and focused on the issues. I’m proud of what I’ve been able to help accomplish for our district and state. We worked with local law enforcement to make dangerous synthetic drugs illegal. We helped bridge the funding gap between metro and greater Minnesota schools by investing in Small Schools

Revenue and Deferred Maintenance Revenue. We worked to increase funding for nursing homes and organizations that provide services to people with disabilities. We passed an income tax exemption on military pensions and provided property tax relief for farmers by reforming the Green Acres program. We made higher education more affordable by passing reforms and making investments to benefit students. We added three genetic disorders to the newborn screening list with the Super Gav Act. Additionally, I co-founded the bipartisan Purple Caucus to put party politics aside and do what’s best for the state. Finally, I was involved with three extremely important projects for our district that were the result of collaborative efforts between our local, state, and federal governments. These projects include the Southeastern Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Preston and two major bridges in Winona and Dresbach. These accomplishments don’t just happen; they come with hard work and the ability to work together. I’ve put a strong emphasis on building relationships with colleagues on both sides of the aisle which has helped us get positive results. While I’m proud of these accomplishments, there is

still work to do. My priorities for the upcoming session include lowering health care costs, continuing our work on a fair and equable funding model for schools in greater Minnesota, a long-term, bipartisan transportation plan, and a tax bill similar to the one that passed the legislature with strong bipartisan support in 2016, but was vetoed by the governor. This tax bill provided relief for middle income families, college students, veterans, small businesses, and farmers as well as funding for cities and counties. It also included an income tax reciprocity tax credit for Minnesotans who work in Wisconsin. Finally, I will continue working to fully fund the

Lanesboro Dam and Education Village projects. Contrary to what my opponent has said, I authored and voted to fully fund these projects, both of which were included in the final bipartisan bonding bill, but unfortunately the bill did not make it to the governor’s desk because of a last minute amendment to fund light rail in the metro area. I ask for your vote so we can continue to work together to help make southeastern Minnesota an even better place to live, work, and raise a family. Sincerely, Jeremy Miller State Senator

Alberta was born May 29, 1923 to Lester and Clara (Miller) Lange and grew up in the rural Harmony area known as Big Springs. She was baptized, confirmed and later married in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church (Big Springs) of which she was a life-long member. She served on numerous church committees during her life.

HARMONY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

60 Main Ave. S., Harmony, MN 507-886-6851 â&#x20AC;˘ humc@harmonytel.net Worship every Sunday at 8:30 am Sunday School at 9:40 am â&#x20AC;˘ Coffee Fellowship at 9:30 am Pastor Michael W. Smith

Our Mission Statement: To live, love, teach, and serve as Jesus Christ taught us. Organized Methodism in Fillmore County had its beginning in 1854 in an old school house. In the following twenty to thirty years, there are few records, but it is known that pastors conducted services in the Marks School, located 6 miles west of Harmony, in Harmony and in Granger. The first Harmony Methodist Church was built in northeast Harmony and was dedicated in 1895. In 1915, enough funds had been raised to add a basement to the church for meetings, suppers, other social events, and a place for the overflowing Sunday school classes. Prior to then, all meetings were held in homes. As membership and Sunday school enrollment increased, it became apparent to the congregation that a newer and larger church was needed; and a committee was formed to investigate various locations. By May of 1927, a new location was chosen for the second church to be built on South Main Avenue. This property was purchased and the new Harmony Methodist Church was built and later dedicated. After the initial pledge of $5,000 was made by the Ladies Aid, the church assumed the responsibility of the remaining church debt on which they made payments until 1944. At that time congregation members decided to conduct a special drive to make the final payment. We became known as the Harmony United Methodist Church when the Evangelical United Brethren churches and Methodist churches combined. Our church continued to grow and welcome members from the Granger United Methodist Church and the State Line United Methodist Church when each closed. We are an active worshipping, praying, serving and caring congregation who praises and gives thanks to God and what He has given us. We remember the needy and less fortunate by supporting their needs locally and in international mission effects. Our congregation is active in local communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bible Studies, our womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s UMW, and volunteering in our fellow churches, health care facilities, schools, and community events. Our members send health, school, and other kits for needy through United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR.) Our church also supports and donates to the Emma Norton services in the Twin Cities, Red Bird Mission, sends clothing, needed items and Christmas gifts to a church in Appalachia in the spring and at Christmas time; as well as volunteer drivers for Harmonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meals on Wheels, donates to the Fillmore County Food Shelf throughout the year, donates to our local schools for school supplies and the milk program, and Christmas in Fillmore County. Our UMW active members visit, send cards, Christmas gifts remembering our members who are unable to actively attend meetings and participate in activities. Our congregation also serves the 4th of July Smoked Pork Chop Dinner in Selvig Park during Harmonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s celebration, Apple Fest on the Saturday of Fall Foliage Days, and the UMW Spring May Fair in May. Originally, our annual Beef Dinner was organized and served by the Harmony Methodist Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club as a project of both the Harmony and State Line Men. The dinners were then served on a Wednesday evening by the men and young men of the two congregations. All profits were directed to the maintenance of the shared parsonage. Today, our Beef Dinner is prepared and served on the first Sunday in November by our entire congregation. Please join us for our annual locally grown Beef Dinner on Sunday, November 6th. We welcome everyone to worship and share fellowship with us each Sunday where we are reminded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The worship is over, our service beginsâ&#x20AC;Ś.â&#x20AC;?

Fillmore County Sports Tiebreak, LFC Girls Back to State By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal.com It was dicey for the defending Section 1A girls cross country champs. Thirdranked L/ The Trende FC came Report into the Section meet the favorites. Fifthranked Stewartville, a team LFC twice beat in the regular season, Paul Trende appeared their biggest adversary. But then they ran the race. In a sport that scores five runners, it came down to a sixth to decide Section 1A’s second state bid. Last year’s runner-up Lake City (4, 13, 15, 25, 27 > 84) came away champs. Seventh grader McKenna Beltz tipped the tide (4th amongst team runners, 5th overall). Beltz didn’t run when LFC and Lake City met at the D-E Invite, where the Burros went 2-3-4-6-7, all ahead of any Tiger runners. Stewartville and LFC thus battled for second, the second state spot. Had Abby Orvis, a multi-race champion, not gone

down late, Stewartville would’ve trekked to Northfield. She did, allowing the Burros (11, 12, 18, 23, 26) and other Tigers (1, 7, 9, 35, 38) to tie at 90 (with D-E in fourth at 98). The tiebreaker was the sixth runner. The seven-deep Burros suspired due to Bailey Ruen. The junior’s finish (30th amongst team runners) topped Stewie’s sixth runner (65th). For the second straight year, LFC is state bound! L/P’s Kayla Christopherson took first (19:42.9). Senior Kiera Olson (20:26.7 > 13th overall) and 8th grader Kaylee Arndt (20:32.3 > 14th) led the Burros. Leah Ruen (20:54.7 > 20th), Emily Snyder (21:08.6 > 25th), Maddie Smith (21:15.3 > 26th), and B-Ruen (21:20.1) also scored. Olson, Arndt, and L-Ruen were each 30-plus seconds faster than a year ago. Arndt improved by three-plus minutes (91st place to 14th). Fourteen girls finished in under 20:35. Only three did last year (semi-attributable to the second year of girls 5,000-meters). Barely but surely, the goal, state repeat, happens for Ellen Cullen’s crew.

Falcons’ Peters Subdue Goodhue

It’s not rare for brothers to play on

the same football team. It is rare for both to be important cogs on said team at the same time. Mama and papa Peters are pretty proud. Their sons made multiple plays, each a big one late, to propel #5 Fillmore Central (2-seed, 8-1) past Goodhue (3-seed, 7-2). The Falcons opened the 1A semifinal with a stop, then a drive. Matt Lutes’ 34-yard run helped set up a Riley Means 3-yard TD run (7-0). A muffed punt gave the Wildcats a short field in the second quarter. A Jack Gadient to Taylor Buck 19-yard pass helped set up a Gadient to Mariano Bigalk 15-yard TD pass (7-7). FC then marched late in the half. They got to first and goal at the one, but were pushed back to a 3rd and goal from the 17 (0:14.5). Means then found Josh Peters out of the backfield, and he matriculated the ball to the end zone for the 14-7 (halftime) lead. The third quarter was scoreless. In the fourth, a 44-yard Gadient to Bigalk pass set up a 12-yard Gadient to Ryan Schoenfelder TD toss. The PAT tied the score at 14 (7:43). With 3:00 left, Goodhue took over first and ten from the 36. Gadient tossed a pass. Samuel Peters called no-fly and score-zone on, a dramatic 47-yard pick-six (21-14) with 2:46 left! Goodhue then made FC territory. Nate Haugerud sniped Gadient (FC’s fourth pick). Two plays later, on 3rd and 4, J-Peters’

The Representative I Will Be After knocking on thousands of doors and hosting four town hall meetings in Houston and Fillmore Counties, it has become more evident than ever that we need new representation in St. Paul. Do I have all the answers to all of our challenges? No, but collectively, we do. As I listen to small business owners, farmers, seniors, teachers, and the people of Houston and Fillmore Counties, it has become clear that each and every one of us has a piece of the puzzle. All we need is a representative who will put those pieces together and take them to the State Capitol to help make our communities stronger. That is the type of legislator I will be. As a 5th generation resident of Houston County, I understand that we are all in this together. That is why I take the time to listen to everyone, not just those who I know will vote for me this November. I talk to small business owners struggling to make payroll. I talk to farmers who are paying high property taxes and seeing low corn prices. I talk to teachers who have to hold their own fundraisers to pay for classroom activities. I talk to seniors who are paying top dollar for prescription drugs and trying to stay in their homes, all while relying solely on a Social Security check. I talk to parents who pay almost half of their monthly income towards health insurance, and another large portion on daycare, leaving just enough to put food on the table. I talk to families in the townships who still don’t have reliable or high-speed internet coverage, making it impossible to work from home or allow their kids to do homework. I talk to commuters who pay hundreds of dollars per year on auto repairs, in large part due to the condition of our roads. There is no silver bullet for each of these challenges, but we must do something. I’m not one to believe that government and politicians can solve every problem, but government can be a catalyst for better outcomes. Our state legislature must work together, Republicans and Democrats, to pass meaningful legislation and reform. We need to compromise on a long-term transportation bill and bonding bill. We need to provide property tax relief to farmers and homeowners, both direct and indirect, including more local government and county program aid. We need to increase the dollar amounts our schools receive per student and redirect focus on small rural districts. We need to provide more resources to help our telecoms expand broadband internet coverage in our townships. We need to encourage insurance providers to do business in Southeastern Minnesota and work with the Mayo clinic to bring down the cost of health care in our state and country. It’s no accident that after five generations I am able to live and work in the same place my Norwegian ancestors lived and worked. They strived to make their communities stronger so that their kids and grandkids could be successful. That is what we should all have in mind and that is the mentality I will take to St. Paul.

81-yard TD run capped the game. FC avenged its 2015 29-0 section title loss. They moved to their second straight title game, 28-14! Sophomore Josh (11-110, TD rushing; 17-yard TD reception) and senior Samuel (47-yard INT return TD) scored three of four Falcon TDs. Means (2-4, 29, TD passing, 15-45, TD rushing) accounted for the other. B-Ristau (15-96; defensive INT) was big on the ground. FC rushed for 279 yards, Goodhue 22. Mason Huemann, a 1,000-yard back who had 242 yards against R-P, had 12 carries for 7 yards. Gadient (15-35, 237, 2 TDs, 4 INTs), Bigalk (4-96, TD receiving), and Schoenfelder (4-53, TD receiving) led their aerial attack.

Trojans Roll Blossoms

It took one play for #9 R-P (1-seed, 8-1) to set the tone versus Blooming Prairie (4-seed, 7-2) in the other 1A semi. Noah Carlson returned the opening kick-off 81-yards to pay-dirt. It began a string of 28 unanswered first half Trojan points. They scored on their first four possessions. The last (99 yard drive) came after stopping BP at the one. Yards were near identical (393 to 390), first downs (23 to 12) in BP’s favor, but the scoreboard, 41-12, was all Trojans. The most awesome guys wore green. Carlson, with his fourth 200-yard game (26-236, 3

TDs; 81-yard KOR TD), closed in on 2,000 yards rushing. He has 29 rushing TDs. Landon Skalet (8-10, 146, 2 TDs) hit his favorites, Jake Paulson (4-80 receiving) and Lukas Rasmussen (4-66) for TDs. Two Trojan picks brought their season total to 20. They have a positive-turnover margin every game (+18 total). They have two turnovers since week four. BP sophomore QB Seth Peterson (2747, 288, TD, 2 INT’s) threw a lot. Conner Getchell (19-77, TD rushing; 3-59, TD receiving) had both Blossoms scores. The lush match-up of co-District champs R-P (9-1) and FC (9-1) is on. R-P hasn’t been out of the Class A top ten, FC only briefly. R-P won 18-8 in week two.

Oops, M-C Does It Again

Britney Spears may or may not be Mabel-Canton (2-seed, 31-4) volleyball’s favorite artist. But for the third time in five years, M-C did it, rallying from a hole at Mayo Civic Center. For the second time in five years, they came back from down 0-2 versus Fillmore Central. The Falcons (3-seed, 18-9) were on fire early. In game one, they erased an 18-14 MC lead with an 8-1 run, scoring 11 of the final 15 points for See SPORTS Page 11 

the 25-22 win. In game two, Kenzie Broadwater and Paige Bennett each had seven kills in a 25-18 win. At that point, FC probably, oddly, needed to sweep. Momentum can be huge, particularly against a squad coached by 600-win Hall of Famer Lonnie Morken. When the Cougars took game three 25-21, the tilt shifted. M-C started using middle hitter Dakota Delaney (limited on the year by a bum shoulder). The experienced 5’9” junior had seven kills over the final three games (zero the first two). Those strong attacks changed M-C. Cougar 1,000-kill artist Savannah Slafter got going. After a slow start, she had fiveplus kills each games three thru five. M-C led most of game four, winning 25-20. They led most of game five. A Slafter serve receivekill for an 11-8 lead was fortuitous. A Delaney kill made it 14-11. An FC hitting error gave M-C the game 15-12, the match 3-2; oops, just another M-C comeback (2225, 18-25, 25-21, 25-20, 15-12). Stars Slafter (26 kills) and Vickerman (the rare 23-kill, 31-assist night) shone brightly. Delaney (7 kills), Kenidi McCabe (20 digs, 13 assists), and Lexi Thorson (14 digs) were key help. Seniors Broadwater (21 kills, 16 digs), P-Bennett (18 kills, 13 digs), Bailey Barnes (31 assists), Tayah Barnes (20 digs), and Kelsey Berg (11 kills) ended strongly. The Falcons finish 18-10. FC’s six seniors have been in a program that’s gone 92-35 the last four years. M-C (32-4) will rematch last year’s 1A East final with Caledonia (1-seed, 26-5).

both Mayor Johnson and the engineer. Pope also noted that the project course had changed, due to the weather and project timeline constraints. “They’re going to attack road by road, making improvements and pavement right behind it. When this thing goes, it’s gonna go in a hurry. We’re not sure if that’s just lip service from the contractor, but we’re hoping it’s the contractor’s intent,” said Pope at the meeting. Problems persisted by the time the August 16 meeting

came and additional work came with an unexpected culvert on Ridgeview Road, widening on Highway 43/Whitmore Street, and paving of the culdesac on Nordic Court. The month was also ripe with substantial rains. As September came, multiple media outlets began reporting frustrations with the project, as noted by both the council and residents. “Everybody here in this room is a little concerned that McHugh isn’t going to be able to meet the deadline. In terms of resident feedback, everybody that’s been impacted shares the frustration that the project has

Monday, November 7, 2016 gone on this long,” stated Pope, at the September 6 council meeting. He did acknowledge the contractor was probably due some increase to the date, not including possible weather increases. Bolton & Menk issued a notice to McHugh the same day regarding contractual obligation. “There is a clause of liquidated damages. It’s not a penalty; it’s a recognized damage recovery,” Pope explained. He further noted the method protects the contractor through awareness of contract parameters and consequences and it serves the city by recovering financial damages for lack of completion. He indicated damages are difficult to quantify, so reasonable damage estimate amounts are determined pre-bid and that for every day the project was not substantially complete, the city would recover $850 per day via deductions to the contract amount. As the substantial completion date came and went, frustrations continued to mount. At the September 20 council meeting, it was noted that McHugh had sought additional days in the contract timeline, extending the date to October 25, but hadn’t formally filed. According to Pope, per the contract, requests for extensions must be filed with written justification. “We’re not even going to attempt to look at that without justification,” stated Pope. “It’s all part of the discussion. But, we’re not going to give credit for days that weren’t warranted. Nobody expected to be here today with this project running late. We have a contractor that flat hasn’t performed.” By the October 4 meeting, roadway progress was moving along. “We’re very happy the work is being done here finally and we’re happy to be seeing the finish line,” noted Pope at the time. It was determined that McHugh would not be granted any extension on the project due to lack of submitting the required supporting data with the request. According to Pope, per the contract, supporting evidence documentation must

be provided within 15 days of the request. A third pay application to McHugh, in the amount of $263,297.89, was approved at the October 18 meeting, which included a liquidated damage deduction of $7,650 in the city’s favor. At the time, it was recommended by the engineer to approve the application, but to wait in sending it. According to Mayor Johnson, the contractor had not yet been paid half of the contracted amount. It is unclear whether or not litigation will be filed against the city. The city has not made

Page 13

an official statement regarding any potential litigation. In other news, the city has received a 2016 Bridge Inspection Report from Fillmore County. One bridge, located on Village Drive, was noted for decking issues. The city has been given one year to replace the decking faults. The council will work with engineers to determine what needs to be done and at what cost. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, November 15, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Flower shops will collect tons of food for charity SIOUX FALLS, SD - Florists across central United States will gather over 20 tons of food for those in need November 7-12, 2016. Dubbed “Caring Rose Week,” the stores are deeply discounting bouquets of one dozen roses, and accepting canned goods as partial payment. Florists in each community designate a food-distribution charity in their area. The canned goods collected are distributed to feed those within the community whom cannot otherwise meet their nutritional needs. Coming at the onset of seasonally cold weather, the program helps food-distribution programs when families begin to experience the greatest financial pressure. The food contributed by Caring Rose Week donors is significant, not only in quantity, but in quality. Food pantries get wholesome foods not available from their traditional sources, and it goes to work in the communities where it is gathered.

Now in its 18th year, “Caring Rose Week” has distributed over one-half million pounds of food since its inception. The concept is the brainchild of Harry Whelden, General Manager of North American Wholesale Florists in Sioux Falls, S. Dak. “Over 300 flower shops across the Great Plains are taking the time and energy to help meet this need, and I’m truly grateful,” says Whelden. “While many are buying toys and other Christmas gifts, many across America are without food.” “National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week” sponsored by the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Student Campaign Against Hunger & Homelessness, which takes place each year one week before Thanksgiving.

A little of this, A little of that. By Kathy Little Eating at the kids’ table during the holidays is one of my favorite memories. The food was great, but the company was superb. As the oldest cousin, I was put in charge by trusting adults. It worked to everyone’s advantage. The adults had some peace and quiet, and the kids had the kitchen with running water, a refrigerator full of bowls of whipped cream and the garbage can to make least favorite food disappear. No one in their right mind rummages through garbage unless a crime has been committed like on “Law and Order.” Moats of mashed potatoes running with gravy and filled with tiny celery canoes can entertain children for 5-10 minutes. Mashed potato volcanoes spouting blood red cranberry sauce are also fun. Playing keep-away with snowflake dinner rolls keeps the diners’ attention. When one was inevitably dropped

on the floor, I yelled into the adults in the dining room about what to do if someone accidentally dropped their dinner roll on the floor. The right answer of course was to put it in the garbage can. We children followed this rule religiously. Cousin Ervie manned the garbage can to give the impression that we had cleaned our plates. The boy cousins chewed with their mouths wide open on purpose. I hope it was on purpose or else they were simply disgusting. My sister, Julie, decided to make this into a contest, so then we were all disgustingly spitting out food while laughing silently. Then the adults would question loudly, “Why is it so quiet out there?” There was no pleasing adults. Either we were too loud or too quiet! Grandma stored her homemade

donuts in a cream and green enamel roaster. Once we tried dipping some donuts in turkey gravy. They weren’t as good as donuts dipped in a bowl of whipped cream, so Ervie hid them in the garbage can under some newspapers. Like I said, having running water and the garbage can in the kitchen saved us kids a lot of trouble. We also experimented with other food mixtures like cranberries and creamed corn and green bean casserole and dressing. Some went into our stomach while others ended up in the garbage can. You can have soooo much fun with food. One year my mother announced that I was old enough to sit at the adult table in the dining room. I felt proud. Ervie and Julie were happy because then they would be in control of the kitchen. Sitting at the adult table was peaceful and boring. Adults talked about politics, hunting, taxes and the weather. They chewed with their mouths closed and passed food politely. They said “please” and “thank you” and used their napkins a lot. They had forgotten how to have fun with food. I couldn’t stand it knowing all the fun that was going on in the kitchen. Fortunately, Ervie and Julie lacked practice in crowd control and one of the mothers went out to check on them. She screamed at all of them for having a food fight in the kitchen. She then announced that “Kathy would be sitting in the kitchen to keep control next year.” I was saved.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

Monday, November 7, 2016

Mabel Lumber fills the need for local building supplies but one person can do his part. We help Mabel and Mabel helps us.” Just the other day, Orel was at Village Farm and Home talking with the owner’s son. Shortly after, he got a call from the store. A customer there was looking for some lattice. Orel was working on a house in Hesper but said, “Meet me at Mabel Lumber in ten minutes and I’ll get you what you need.” When they can’t fill a request, Orel and Adam will try to find someone else in town who can. According to Orel, “Nobody here is going to get rich, but if we work together, we might all make a living.” The lumberyard is open for business right now but the building itself is far from being done. Standing amid concrete rubble, Adam and Orel talk about their plans to put in a showroom, an office and a large heated shop.

Page 19

They’ll do all the work themselves even while they continue to run both Tollefson Construction and Mabel Lumber. Work gets done as time allows. Look for an Open House celebration in spring… or sooner if all goes well. Orel and Adam want to grow the business. “You always dream big,” says Adam, “more lumber, more building crews, more equipment… but whatever happens, happens.” They’ll grow their business as it makes sense: slowly, wisely, and sustainably. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have a lot to offer even now. And, once completed, Mabel Lumber’s showroom will have a nice selection of cabinets, flooring, siding, doors, windows, shingles, steel, and more to choose from. There won’t be a large inventory in stock but because of a close See MABEL LUMBER Page 22 

Father and son, Orel and Adam Tollefson, team up well in their Mabel Lumber and Tollefson Construction businesses. Photo by Julie Little By Julie Little Orel Tollefson has had the notion of opening a lumber store ever since Hagen Lumber in Mabel closed 15 years ago. He knew that with his busy construction business (Tollefson Construction) he would always have at least one steady customer. But he wanted a partner. His sons had helped him, learning the building trade with handson experience throughout their early lives, but all three had chosen careers in other fields. Then, in the winter of 2015, Orel was in a tough spot. He had a guy that quit and a house to build. Fortunately, one son, Adam, a skilled mechanic who had been living and working in Harmony, was ready for a change at the same time. “I just needed a guarantee that we’d be busy through the winter, and we were,” said Adam. Orel had his partner. Father and son make a good team. They agree and disagree,

but they do work well together. Orel does the ordering for Mabel Lumber. He’s been working in the construction business since 1975 (over 40 years) and it comes easily to him. Adam does the numbers like budget and inventory. Orel’s wife, Marcia, will work in the office and showroom part time. Orel says, “Marcia’s a smart woman, and the smartest thing I ever did was marry her.” Adam’s wife, Sheena, is also a big part of the business. Not only does she do the books, she is a talented graphic designer. Sheena worked with LetterWerks to create the logo and is building the website for Mabel Lumber. Adam and Sheena relocated to Mabel in June, moving their growing family to a two-story home just a couple blocks away from the store. One thing about a family business that both father and son enjoy is not having to report

to anyone else. If they want to take a day off or work a flexible schedule, they can. However, Adam and Orel tend to start work far earlier and keep working far later in the day than they would for any employer. They love what they do. Good business, for the Tollefsons, means service. “We may not have the volume pricing that a Menard’s could offer, but our customers will want to come back for our expertise and our service,” says Orel. “Our customers are people we know - our friends and neighbors.” Another big benefit is delivery. While more distant lumberyards charge for delivery, Mabel Lumber delivers locally for free. Good business is also about community. “I’m going to make my stand in Mabel,” Orel says. He feels very strongly that a small community’s survival depends on everybody working together. “One person can’t do it alone,

Ask a Trooper

Vehicles equipped without or limited mirrors can result in a crash, as the driver is unable to see behind them from different angles. Driver and passenger side mirrors help drivers see other vehicles when changing lanes, assist the driver in determining how close other vehicles are, and in the event an emergency vehicle approaches, a driver is able to slow down and safely pullover and yield the right-of-way. In my experience over the years, I have encountered many unsafe situations while responding to emergencies with my lights and siren on where vehicles in front of me had no idea that I was behind them. When the driver finally realized there was a patrol car behind them, they would become startled and apply the brakes very hard and/or swerve into the other lanes or shoulder very quickly, creating a very dangerous situation. I recommend that drivers have two outside mirrors, along with a rearview mirror attached to their windshield at all times. If a driver is pulling an RV or trailer and the view to the rear is obstructed, I recommend purchasing rearview mirror extensions so the driver is able to clearly see behind the vehicle. Please avoid distractions while driving and make it a habit of checking rearview mirrors often. This will increase a driver’s odds of avoiding a crash. You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, Minn. 55901-5848. Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@state. mn.us.

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Do I need to have a mirror on the outside passenger side of the door on my pickup truck? It has one on the driver’s side and a rear view on the windshield. Answer: Being that your pickup has one on the windshield and one on the driver’s side, Troy H. you are legal Christianson in Minnesota. According to the Minnesota Driver’s Manual, all passenger vehicles must be equipped with rearview mirrors. Vehicles such as rental moving trucks, which are not designed to allow a view through the rear window, must be equipped with an additional side mirror. Pickup trucks, which are often used for hauling purposes, must also be equipped with an additional side mirror. The side mirror will provide the driver with a clear view when transported materials obstruct sight through the rearview mirror.

Recycling 101

down the toilet. There is an increased use of batteries of all types and sizes during the holidays, according to the EPA. Approximately 40% of battery sales occur during the holiday season from Thanksgiving to Christmas. With that in mind, please remember to recycle those rechargeable batteries when they wear out. Almost half the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. Adjust your thermostat when you leave the house, as well as at night. You may also want to consider installing a programmable thermostat that will save you money while it saves energy. One ton of recycled oil filters produces 1700 pounds of high quality steel. Some of the elements that are found in many recyclable batteries are cadmium, mercury, copper, zinc, lead, manganese, nickel, and lithium. We save 17 trees for each ton of newspaper we recycle. The average American spends

eight full months of his or her life opening junk mail. The 36,000,000,000 aluminum cans that find their way into landfills each year have a scrap value of more than 600,000,000. In 1865, an estimated 10,000 hogs roamed New Your City, eating garbage. Today one out of every six trucks in New York is a garbage truck. If every American household recycled just one out of every 10 plastic bottles they used, we’d keep 200,000,000 pounds of plastic out of landfills every year.

By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator I have been looking over some of the articles that have been written since I started this job. The next few articles will contain information I have collected from different sources, LaVerne C. including Paulson Oberlin College in Ohio, during the past several years. Please think about these statements and how you can possibly change some of your habits to become a better steward of our planet by reducing, reusing, and recycling. Wash full loads of clothes. Washing machines use about 15% of your house’s water... 32-59 gallons per cycle. Glass never wears out. It can be recycled over, and over, and over again. The machine in the Twin Cities that separates the recyclables we send there can tell the difference between clear, amber, and green glass bottles and sends them to their respective bins. If a family of four takes five minute showers each day, they will use more than 700 gallons of water each week. That is a threeyear supply of drinking water for one person. Every year we make enough plastic film to shrink-wrap the state of Texas. Americans use 100,000,000.. that’s one hundred million.. tin/ steel cans every day. I am quite sure a few of these contained cream of chicken, mushroom, or celery used in making a variety of Minnesota Hot Dishes. Forty percent of the pure water you use in your home is flushed

Maintenance Supervisor Schultz to head solid waste department By Karen Reisner Restructuring of the Solid Waste Department following the retirement of solid waste administrator Jon Martin took a step forward at the county board’s November 1 meeting. County Engineer Ron Gregg had considered taking over as department head of Solid Waste, but declined to take on the additional responsibility for the pay offered. Building maintenance supervisor Terry Schultz was willing to take on the oversight of staff for the Solid Waste Department for Adam Tollefson operating a forklift in the Mabel Lumber facil- the $8,000 stipend offered in addition to his current pay as ity.

Secretary/Treasurer ship and management skills. The restructuring described was approved. With that, the motion to advertise for a solid waste director was rescinded. This position had been recommended when Gregg was considering taking over the Solid Waste department. The restructuring involving Schultz will involve the hire of a second Transfer Attendant instead of the Solid Waste Director. A motion to post internally to fill that position was approved. Kohn said a training schedule has been put together to get the proper certifications. Trainings for certification will be held on November 16 and 17. Schultz wants two of his current staff in maintenance to be cross-trained. He will take the training for certification himself. The structure with Schultz providing oversight of Solid Waste and the hire of an additional transfer attendant instead of a solid waste director will save the county about $17,000 per year. A week ago, the board voted to contract with Waste Man• Spring Valley agement, one of two proposals that had been received for solid waste and recycling services. County coordinator Bob-

bie Vickerman said they were looking at the Request for Proposals and there is some confusion on the recycling piece and rural sites portion. The Solid Waste committee recommended that the motion to give the contract to Waste Management be rescinded. There is still an option to go with Harter’s Quick Clean-up or WM or throw out all proposals and start over. The motion to rescind the award to WM was approved. There is an agreement with WM to continue to extend their extension agreement until March 1, 2017 allowing time to review the proposals and options. Matt Harter had offered last week to provide trained personnel at an hourly rate if they were needed in the interim. The offer was to provide a certified person at the Resource Recovery Recycling Center for $40 per hour as back-up if needed. Schultz noted that two of his staff members are interested in working there and are already doing cross-training at the center. Chairman Marc Prestby said it will be good to have the option if it becomes necessary. Vickerman added the plant needs to be covered all day, every day. Commissioner Mitch Lentz agreed he liked the option to have available certified coverage and made a motion to accept Harter’s offer, which was approved. Approval was given to have an add-on to the solid waste compactor which will allow refuse to be smashed three times prior to an operator coming off the loader to process the load. The additional option will cost $975 and will allow for greater staff efficiency in use of equipment. The purchase was recommended by the Solid Waste committee. Other business in brief • A resolution authorizing a quit claim deed from the county to Jane Gehrking was approved. County Attorney Brett Corson explained that it was a corrected quit claim deed for one previously approved in October 2015, due to improvements made to CR 11. The corrected quit claim deed is necessary due to an error in the legal description from the original survey. No money will change hands. • An access permit request from William A. Schmidt, Section 22, Sumner Township, to

widen an existing driveway to accommodate larger machinery and semi traffic was approved. • Jessica Erickson, Public Health, received approval to apply for WIC remodel grant dollars. The money, if awarded will be used to improve the office or waiting room. No funds are to be provided by the county. • Rep. Greg Davids presented to each of the board members a framed resolution regarding the Southeast Minnesota Veterans Cemetery, which was officially opened on May 29, 2016. • Final payment to Zenke, Inc. in the amount of $26,375.54 on CSAH 25 in Peterson was approved. Commissioner Duane Bakke asked about the 16% overage. Gregg explained that the increase was due to nasty soils which needed to be eliminated to provide a good road base. • The resignation of Barbara Kerns, Eligibility Worker, effective December 30 was accepted with thanks for her years of service. A request to hire a replacement Eligibility Worker from current list of candidates was approved. • Canvassing for the general election was set for November 15, 10 a.m. Bakke and Harry Root will serve on the canvassing board, along with Sherida Newgaard. Vickerman, who usually would participate, can’t because she is on a school board ballot. • By consensus, the board approved December 13 and 20 for board meetings in December.
