Donna Rasmussen named Minnesota 2018 Outstanding SWCD Employee By H annah Wingert hannah@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Fillmore Soil and Water Conservation District administrator Donna Rasmussen was awarded the 2018 Outstanding Soil and Water Conservation District Employee award on December 10 at the Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts’ annual convention. She was nominated for the award by her co-workers at the Fillmore SWCD, who were thrilled to hear that she had been selected as the recipient. “She’s a good administrator, and she deserved the award,” SWCD employee Jeanette Serfling commented. Rasmussen didn’t know she was going to receive the award until her name was called at

the awards ceremony so she thought it was a bit strange that three of her co-workers decided at the last minute to attend the ceremony at the convention, not realizing that they had already been notified of her award. However, when her name was called to come up and receive the plaque, it became clear why they were there. “It was a surprise,” she laughed. In 1991, Rasmussen began her job as Fillmore County’s first Water Plan Coordinator. In 2001, she moved to the same position within the Fillmore SWCD, and then became the SWCD administrator in 2008. Her current responsibilities include coordinating and implementing Fillmore CounSee AWARD Page 5 

R-P Backpack Program fills nutrition gap By Barb Jeffers barb@fillmorecountyjournal.com

laboration between the local churches and the RushfordPeterson School District,” explains Svendsen. As a dairy farmer and member of the American Dairy Association, Tweeten says she sees a need for milk and dairy products firsthand, and so she spoke with Brad Hoiness of Rushford Foods about finding a way to get these products in the hands of the children who need them. Hoiness contacted the Kemps Company and Trinity Johnson, Chairman of the Fillmore County American Dairy Association board, who were happy to support the backpack project. See Nutrition GAP Page 2 

Amendment to SSTS Ordinance to be considered by the County Board By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com

At the December 20 meeting of the Planning Commission, the public had an opportunity to comment on the proposed amendment to the Fillmore County subsurface sewage treatment system (SSTS) ordinance. The proposed amended language in Sale or Transfer of Real Estate, Section 803, will make it less likely that any transfers of real estate will fall through the cracks without a SSTS compliance inspection. A compliance inspection

must be completed by a state of Minnesota certified inspector before real estate is transferred or sold. New language includes the requirement for pre-treatment systems to be inspected by an intermediate inspector. Systems found to be compliant will need no further action. Non-compliant systems or failing systems, must be brought up to code within 12 months (imminent health threats within 10 months). An escrow account must be established to pay for bringing See COUNTY BOARD Page 6 

As many families in Fillmore County depend on school-age children receiving a nutritious breakfast and lunch at school each day, a question was raised of how to help those children in families who could use some extra help to provide meals on weekends as well. Kristy Tweeten, who is a dairy farmer, had experience with a backpack program in Winona County where food is sent home with children each Friday in backpacks. After seeing how successful, and how needed, that program was she suggested a backpack

program be started offering filled backpacks to students in the Rushford-Peterson school district. “If we establish good eating habits as children we will keep those habits as we become adults,” states Tweeten. Tweeten contacted a few people, asking for their support of the project, including Burton Svendsen, a retired R-P school teacher who took the program under his wing with support of many others, including superintendent of Rushford-Peterson schools Chuck Ehler. “Chuck Ehler has been a supporter of the program from the start,” states Svendsen. “Our program in Rushford is a col-

Each child that takes home a backpack receives a coupon for a gallon of milk redeemable at Rushford Foods. “Whatever we can do to get the product out to people,” states Johnson. Johnson describes the backpack program as a “great program” and feels it is important to get children started young enjoying dairy products. With generous donors and proceeds

from the ADA Malt Wagon, the Fillmore County American Dairy Association has provided tremendous support to the program. Rushford Foods, Kemps, and the Fillmore County American Dairy Association share the cost of providing the milk coupons in the backpacks each week. “It was overwhelming to see how many people have helped,” stated Tweeten. To provide confidentiality, the backpacks are numbered. Back-

Burton Svendsen, Director of the R-P Backpack Program, sits next to some of the backpacks filled and waiting to be taken home by students in need. Photo submitted

packs are signed out each Friday filled with food and are then returned empty each Monday to be filled again for the next Friday. “The main purpose when we started the program was to get the kids something to eat over the weekend,” states Svendsen. The program has been going strong now for seven years, showing just how great the need was when the program began and how much it is still needed years later. The backpacks are filled with at least four meals, including breakfast and lunch items. The food items in the backpacks vary from week to week but examples of common items placed in the backpacks are cereal, macaroni and cheese, pudding, mixed fruit, microwave meals, juice boxes, cookies, crackers and popcorn. Some of the food items used in the backpacks each week are received from Channel One Food Bank of Rochester, Minn., which is a very important resource throughout Southeastern Minnesota. Generous area residents also make monetary donations which are used to purchase additional items needed. The number of backpacks

Local churches provide the volunteers to help load the backpacks each week. The churches rotate on a monthly basis filling the backpacks. As the backpack program in Rushford has been helping many

students fill the nutrition gap that may happen in households on weekends for several years, it seems to only make sense that other cities and schools in Fillmore County could use backpack programs of their own. It only takes one — one person who recognizes the need for a backpack program in their community and starts enlisting volunteers — be that person. If your community has a backpack program, offer to donate, volunteer or support the program in some way.

C ommentary Interfaith dialogue compromises the Gospel By Aaron Swartzentruber Greenleafton, MN Anti-Semitism, of any kind, should have no place in the church, as I stated in my last letter. Perhaps I should explain what I mean by Aaron Swartzthat stateentruber ment. The “church” is being swept up into Islam at an alarming rate. Many “church” leaders are claiming they are finding common ground with Islam and are working with Islam (interfaith dialogue) “to create a more peaceful and just society” and some even claim Muslims worship the same god as they do. Well...maybe they both worship the same god but it’s not the God of the Bible.

Because Islam rejects Jesus, the Son of God, as being God. And because they reject the Son of the God of the Bible they also reject the God of the Bible. In John 9:35-37 Jesus claims to be the Son of God and 1 John 2:2223 says; “He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father”. Somebody will say, “But you have to build a relationship with muslims if you expect to ever share the Gospel with them effectively.” That’s true to some extent, but if we’re more interested in building a more peaceful and just society, of which everybody who is not in Christ will go to hell from, than we are in sharing the exclusive way to be saved from hell, then we have indeed forgotten what the great commission is. Don’t get me wrong, I am for peace and jus-

tice on this earth, but let’s keep our priorities straight, the soul is worth much more than the body. “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul.” (Mark 8:36) Also, just a word about justice. When I say justice I don’t mean social justice. I mean equal justice under law. I’m not making this up about these professing Christians working with Islam and even claiming to worship the same god. Fuller Theological Seminary claims to be one of the worlds most influential “evangelical” institutions. They have a lengthy article on their website by a J. Dudley Woodbury that is just one example of what I’m talking about. You can find it at fullerstudio. fuller.edu/reflections-christianmuslim-dialogue/ on christianmuslim dialogue.

Letter about common sense and truth... To the Editor, Today with “fake news,” alternative truths, political hypocrisy and lying by our highest officials, it can be hard to believe anything. Sometimes, though, we need to believe what has been said; below are a few examples: • November 10, 2016 – Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the Interfax news agency “there were contacts” with the Trump campaign staff and, “I don’t say that all of them, but a whole array of them supported contacts with Russian representatives. Obviously, we know most of the people from his entourage,” Ryabkov said. • December 2, 2017 – Trump

tweet, “I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the vice president and the FBI” • July 16, 2018 – Helsinki, Finland Press Conference with Donald Trump – when Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked if he wanted Trump to win the U.S. presidential election AND if he directed any officials to help him do that, Putin responded, “Yes, I did, Yes, I did.” Enough said! P.S. The Mueller investigation has resulted in criminal counts against more than 30 people, eight of which have pleaded guilty, and three Russian entities. Kevin Kelleher Houston, Minn.

Thanks, MPCA, for hearing us! To the Editor, I’d like to thank MPCA Commissioner John Linc Stine for listening to the hundreds of us in Newburg Township, Fillmore County, and the entire southeastern Minnesota. He listened as we expressed in hundreds of letters and many impassioned speeches our concerns about the environmental risks posed by an enormous hog farrowing operation proposed by the Catalpa project in a region with especially vulnerable surface and groundwater by virtue of the underlying karst geology. I am impressed that science, and the health of natural systems and families in the community were given their due importance —

Editorial Cartoon

In Hitlers day the German “church” was largely swept up by Nazism. How could the church become so blinded and misguided? Because she lost sight of eternity, and didn’t care anymore about proclaiming the pure, uncompromised Gospel, and became obsessed with her wellbeing in this world. She forgot that the things which are seen are temporal but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18) The church had largely become a false church. Erwin Lutzer, the senior pastor of The Moody Church in Chicago for over 35 years, wrote a book entitled Hitler’s Cross in which he documents and describes how Hitler turned the cross into the swastika and the church largely embraced it. He quotes a prominent evangelical from Toronto that visited Germany in 1936 who said “Every true Christian is for Hitler. I know, for it was from the Christians I got most of my information, and right

or wrong, they endorse Adolf Hitler.” (Pages 136-138) That ought to be a warning for us in America, known as a “Christian” nation. What does Nazism and Islam have in common? Anti-Semitism. Let us, the Church, forsake it. Interfaith dialogue with Islam is a one way street, it’s not their intent to meet in the middle, which Chistians shouldn’t do anyway, but it’s their intent to draw us completely over on their side. Now somebody will say, “See, that’s why I don’t want anything to do with the Church.” Here’s one to take to heart — “And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4:18) Only those on the inside of Noah’s ark escaped God’s judgement. Christ, not the Church, is the ark and whosoever will may come in. And if you come in you are part of the Church. Until next time....

and that he denied the permit request. I applaud his leadership in expressing the need to further study the causes for the already compromised groundwater in the area and, hopefully, possibilities for remediation. I invite others to thank him, too, using any of the following: Commissioner Stine, MPCA, 520 Lafayette Road N, St. Paul, Minn. 55155-4194, John.Stine@state.mn.us, or (651) 757-2014.

C ommentary MPCA Commissioner denies permit to proposed feedlot, recommends study of nitrate-contaminated waters in the sensitive karst region of southeast Minnesota Citing the need to address elevated levels of nitrate in drinking water in the karst region of southeast Minnesota, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Commissioner John Linc Stine is announcing his decision to deny a general permit for the proposed Catalpa swine facility in Fillmore County near Mabel, Minn. Because of the permit denial, a related decision, whether to deny or approve requests for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for this specific project is not needed at this time. “The Catalpa project is the first big new feedlot application we’ve had in Fillmore County since extensive data on nitrate contamination of drinking water wells has come out,” Stine said, referring to new well sampling data produced by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. While hundreds have supported an EIS, an indepth environmental study, for the proposed Catalpa Ag swine facility in Fillmore County, Stine says the issue is bigger than any one feedlot or farm, saying it would be unfair to put the responsibility for the broad issue of existing nitrate contamination of groundwater onto one farmer. Catalpa Ag proposed to build a new 4,890-head swine farrowing facility that would have generated an estimated 7.3 mil-

lion gallons of liquid manure annually. More than 700 people attended two public meetings held by MPCA on the proposal in June and December. The MPCA received 771 comments on the project. Based on the feedback received on this project, Stine is recommending that the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) conduct a regional environmental study of groundwater pollution for the geologically sensitive karst region of southeast Minnesota. “The karst region is subject to rapid seepage of contaminants from the land and overlying soils, making the groundwater of this region very vulnerable,” Stine said. A Minnesota Department of Agriculture study found that 19 of 24 townships in Fillmore County have private wells at or above the health risk limit for nitrates, which is 10 milligrams per liter. Nitrates in drinking water can pose a health risk to people, especially infants and the elderly. If the recommendation to conduct the regional environmental impact study is approved, it would be paid for by the State of Minnesota, not producers, and would include a public process with opportunities for comment and citizen input. Stine said his recommendation for a larger regional

study will be more beneficial for farmers, businesses and area residents, as it will provide an overall picture of sources of nitrate contamination in groundwater. If the EQB accepts the MPCA recommendation, it would engage the public during a scoping phase to further define the area to be studied and other parameters. The karst region is an area of southeast Minnesota covering roughly six counties. Catalpa Ag may still apply for a customized permit, known as an individual permit. The individual permit process is a more in-depth and tailored analysis that is more rigorous than the general permit Catalpa Ag had applied for. Farmers and producers in the region seeking permits for new or expanded feedlot operations could continue to seek individual permits while a regional study is underway. All documents related to the proposal can be found on the MPCA’s Catalpa Ag LLC webpage: www.pca.state.mn.us/ quick-links/catalpa-ag-llc. A map showing karst features in Minnesota can be found on the Department of Natural Resources website: ftp://ftp.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/ us_mn_state_dnr/geos_surface_ karst_feature_devel/metadata/ preview.jpg.

Rasmussen stays very busy at the SWCD with a variety of projects. One of the bigger projects that she oversees and coordinates is the Root River One Watershed One Plan in partnership with five other Soil and Water Conservation Dis-

tricts. She serves as a chair of the regional Basin Alliance for the Lower Mississippi in Minnesota or BALMM, working with a variety of partners to ensure the quality of the water in the basin. Rasmussen also helped to form the Friends of the Root River in 2014, a non-profit group made up of citizens who work together to take care of the Root River. A project that Rasmussen is especially proud of is the Root River Field to Stream partnership which is led by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and was started in 2010. For the first six to seven years, the project consisted of baseline monitoring for three small Root River watersheds in Southeast Minnesota, and in 2016, $1.3 million dollars in state funds were received to implement best management practices in those watersheds. “It’s a really unique project because edge of field monitoring is very labor and time intensive,”

Nun with Fumbers By Eric Leitzen Hokah, MN So... rich people have a LOT of money right now. Like, “a lot” alot. Just for perspective, the ratio of CEO to worker pay in the 1950s was 20 to Eric Leitzen 1. That was about $3,500 per year for the average worker in 1950, which is just under $25k a year in 2000 dollars, according to Stanford. Now once upon a time, I went to school to be a History teacher, not a Math teacher, but I know my basic arithmetic. Sometimes, only knowing the basics can be really helpful in economics, a place sometimes way too in love with its own complexity. So: $25,000 x 20 = an average CEO pay of 500,000 (in 2000 dollars) Now, let’s take a look at some recent numbers from January 2018, where it shows that the CEOs of the 350 largest firms make 271 times more than their average workers... and that’s not even the worst! From the CNBC article: “Although the 271:1 ratio is high, it’s still not as high as in previous years. In 2015, CEOs made 286 times the salary of a typical worker and 299 times more in 2014. Compare that to 1978, when CEO earnings were roughly 30 times the typical worker’s salary.” According to a report from the Economic Policy Institute, the average CEO pay is 271 times the nearly $58,000 annual average pay of the typical American worker. So let’s take that $58,000 and multiply it by 271, shall we? That nets us somewhere in the neighborhood of $15,718,000. Let that sink in. You get $58,000 They get FIFTEEN MILLION. Now, a new article from the folks at Dissent Magazine detail a proposal to reduce this gap... somewhat. “In 2010, trade union leaders presented elites at Davos with a proposal for a ratio-based maximum wage — something proposed in the United States by Amalgamated Transit Union President Larry Hanley. Hanley’s version would mandate that a top executive’s pay be no more than 100 times the salary of the company’s lowest-paid worker. In other words, if the receptionist or janitor makes $35,000

per year, the CEO would take home no more than $3.5 million. To raise his or her pay further, the boss would have to bring up the bottom as well. While a 100:1 gap comes nowhere close to rigidly enforced equality, it would break from current norms in the United States, where a CEO in one of the country’s largest 350 firms earns an average of 271 times that of a typical worker, according to the Economic Policy Institute.” Reduce the gap to 100 to 1 as opposed to 271. That’s quite a harsh cut for the richies, isn’t it? I mean, that’s, what, a 158% reduction? Downright savage... until we run the numbers. Let’s take that $58,000 average income again, and this time multiply it by 100. $58,000 times 100 is... $5,800,000. Over five and a half million dollars, PER YEAR, for the bigwigs at the 350 biggest companies. Speaking of 350 companies... $5,800,000 for 350 companies is... let’s take that 15 million and subtract the five and a half million... that’s a difference of $9,918,000 that could be used to, say pay people a living wage or give them healthcare when they need it... especially when you take that nine million saved and multiply it for all 350 firms... $3,471,300,000. Three billion four hundred seventy-one million three hundred thousand. Per year. And that’s only the 350 biggest firms in the country, and that’s even with the fairly tame expectation of cutting the ratio to 100 to 1. What if we cut it back down to the 1950s level? $58,000 average income times 20 = 1,160,000 for the CEOs. Do we dare subtract the $1,160,000 from the 15 million from the 271:1 ratio? $14,558,000. Per year to spread the wealth while the CEOs at the top 350 firms still get to make over a million a year. Oh, and if we take that 14 and a half million and multiply it by 350? $5,095,300,000. Five billion ninety-five million three hundred thousand. Per year. From only 350 companies. Money to be used for small towns, schools, roads, bridges, healthcare and, most important, money that could, and should, go into your pocket as realistic wages for the job you do. I don’t know about you, but that could sure help a lot of people.

Fillmore County Sports ‘Cane Girls Run Streak to Four By Paul Trende They aren’t yet near last year’s 10-game win streak. But a four-game streak (after a The Trende Report 0-3 start to the season) is simply a very good t u r n around for Ho u s t o n girls basketball. Paul Trende The week of December 17 was particularly impressive. Dale Moga’s group beat a

pair of tough SEC foes. Houston began by dropping a big number on rival Spring Grove, which entered the contest 5-1. The ‘Canes handled the Lions’ full-court press and used a halfcourt 1-3-1 to trigger the transition game. A 13-0 start led to a 48-24 halftime lead and a 30-point, 80-50 win. Sophomore Emma Geiwitz posted a career-high (29 pts, 12-24 FGs, 4-4 FTs, 5 rebs, 5 stls). Alyssa Rostad (19 pts, 6-6 FTs, 10 rebs), Becca Rostad (15 pts, 5 rebs, 4 stls), and eighth grader Sydney Torgerson (11 pts, 5-6 FTs, 6 rebs) gave Houston four in double figures. The ‘Canes shot 48% from the field (31-

65) and 94% (16-17) from the free throw line. Randolph then came to town. The Rockets entered with a 6-3 record, losses to defending Class A State champion 9-2 Lyle/Pacelli (5449 in OT), #5 in Class A 10-0 Grand Meadow (60-42), and 8-0 Medford (68-36). Randolph led early (16-8). Houston was ahead late (46-39 with 3:30 left). The Rockets scored the last seven points of regulation. Each team got a shot off in the last 0:40. The game went to overtime tied at 46. There, Houston’s defense held Randolph to one point. Geiwitz continued her big week, scoring all seven of the ‘Canes extra session points. Team double-H prevailed 53-47. A-Rostad (18 pts, 10-12 FTs, 5 rebs) and Geiwitz (14 pts, 4 rebs, 4 stls) led the way. Houston went 21 of 29 from the charity stripe, Randolph 10 of 15. And with that, Houston is 4-1 in the SEC, 4-3 overall. They lead the division over SG (3-2, 5-2), M-C (3-2, 4-5), Kingsland (2-2, 4-3).

Young Trojans Win Fifth in Six Tries

Mark the calendar; 20192020 should be another watershed year for Rushford-Peterson boys basketball. Until then, Trojan fans get to watch a bunch of talented young players mature. Amidst that maturing process, R-P is still pretty good. Chris Drinkall’s Trojans beat a 1A rival and a typically tough TRC foe to run a winning streak to three. Versus Kingsland, the game was tight for a half. The Knights hit six of 12 threes and trailed by just three (29-26) at intermission. But Kingsland went just 3 of 14 from deep, 7 of 31 overall, in the second half. The Trojans took control, enough so that not even a dunk by Knight Zach Hauser got anybody too riled up. R-P won 65-44. Super sophomore Luke O’Hare (17 pts, 7-11 FGs, 3-4 threes, 9 rebs, 6 asts) led the way. Kobe Lind (14 pts, 4-7 threes) posted a career-high. Ben Wieser (10 pts, 5-6 FGs, 5 rebs) and Vinnie Mason (8 pts,

5 rebs) gave R-P inside scoring. Frosh Justin Ruberg had 6 (pts) and 11 (rebs). Wyatt Pruter (13 pts, 3-7 threes), Hauser (11 pts), and Lucas Howard (10 pts, 3-4 threes) paced the Knights. R-P then hosted PEM. Lone Trojan senior Landon Skalet, foes’ defensive focal point thus far this season, had a break-out game (season-high 19 pts, 3-3 threes, 8-9 FGs, 6 asts). Lind (13 pts, 6-12 FGs, 3 rebs, 3 asts, 3 stls), Mason (10 pts, 5-7 FGs, 6 rebs), and Wieser (10 pts, 5-5 FGs) gave the Trojans four in double-figures, annulling the fact that leading scorer O’Hare had just three points (1-4 FGs). R-P shot 56.2% from the field (27-48). The Trojans prevailed 64-54. The win was R-P’s fifth in six tries (loss at Caledonia). The Trojans improved to 3-2, 5-3. O’Hare, Wieser, and Lind are all sophomores, Ruberg a freshman, Mason a junior. Wieser, a 6’3” C/F, has made 22 of his last 23 field goals (85.7% for the season).

Chatfield Nips GMLOS

On the first full night of TRC wrestling action, an intriguing match-up occurred in Chatfield. Just days removed from GMLOS taking first, the Gophers second, at FCLMC’s Holiday Invite, the teams took to the mats for a league dual. The lead changed hands four times with the home Gophers coming from behind twice to notch a good win. GMLOS took the first two weights (9-0). Chatfield then took three straight (18-9). The Bulldogs took four of five in the middle weights. Only Nathan Goldsmith posted a win in that span for Chatfield, but it was a nice one (8-5 decision over #7 at 138 Daniel Smith). GMLOS led 31-21 after 170. Gophers Grady Schott (182), #9 at 182 Davontae Goldsmith (195), and A.J. Karver (220) then rattled off three straight pins, giving Chatfield an insurmountable 39-31 lead. The Gophers prevailed 39-37. Cael Bartels (120), Cody Guenther (126),

and #4 at 126 Seth Goetzinger (132) had Chatfield’s early three-match win streak, all pin wins. GMLOS competed without ranked wrestlers Anthony Romero (#2 at 106) and Jackson Hale (#2 at 132). It was the Gophers’ first dual match.

Hot Shots

LARP wrestling beat St. Charles and W-K to improve to 2-0, 5-2 on the year. Ranked guys Ross Herber (#6 at 113) and Carter Jonsgaard (#5 at 120) each went 2-0, as did Dominic Jenkins (knocked off W-K’s ranked Tagen Miller 11-8), Tyler Kreidermacher, Gable Speltz, Caleb Mueller, and Carter Weidemann. Kingsland sisters Lauren (24 pts, 14 rebs) and Ellie Buchholtz (20 pts, 14 rebs) proved the epitome of double-double trouble in a 64-42 win over R-P. Lauren also had a doubledouble in a 65-39 win over Lanesboro, and 21 points in a loss to Goodhue. The Knights went 2-1 to improve to 2-2, 4-3. Kassidy Broadwater put up a Kenzie Broadwater-like line (15 pts, 17 rebs, 6 asts, 5 stls) in an FC 66-55 win over W-K. Kandace Sikkink added 11 (pts) and 18 (rebs). The Falcons are 4-2, 5-4. R-P’s girls trailed by 15 at one point, only to fall to PEM late 69-65. Abbey Hoegh had a career-high 28 points. The senior averaged 22.0 PPG over three Trojan games. Teammate Megan Oian had a pair of doubledoubles in a win over Cannon Falls, the loss to PEM. Maddy Michels had a career-high 21 points as M-C’s girls lost to L-A. Houston’s Mikkel Schutte had another huge week in a win over Lanesboro and a loss to Kingsland (see Athlete of the Week). Schutte (41 pts), Alex Van Gundy (23 pts), and Caiden Danielson (20 pts) all hit for at least 20 in the Lanesboro win. Andrew Luck had 23 in defeat. Carson Schwichtenberg had 20 points, but Lanesboro fell to Goodhue 52-46. Wyatt See SPORTS Page 11 

Rasmussen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are very few projects that have that level of monitoring going on. Data from that really helps us see what practices are going to be most effective for soil erosion, run-off of soil nutrients, and more.â&#x20AC;? Rasmussen pointed out that the information from the project is applicable in watersheds throughout Minnesota,

more SWCD receives from the SWCD board and the Fillmore County board. Over the years, Rasmussen has seen a change in the focus and scope of the SWCD. They now conduct more partnerships with neighboring SWCDs and counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the very early stages of that, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promising to see the progress,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all takes relationships and willingness to work together. We try to pull those entities together

making it very valuable. Rasmussen works hard to ensure that the primary goal of educating and encouraging landowners to use the best water practices is met, but she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it without the rest of the staff at the Fillmore SWCD. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are very dedicated to what we do,â&#x20AC;? Rasmussen commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just try to make sure thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money and resources for them to do their jobs.â&#x20AC;? She also appreciates the support the Fill-

and network and work together as much as we can to maximize those resources that we have so that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any gaps in what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and so that we can build upon what we all are doing.â&#x20AC;? Rasmussen is planning to retire from the SWCD in March 2019. As much as sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to the freedom of retirement, she knows sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss her work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always enjoyed my job and the most reward-

ing part is the people you work with,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a very rewarding time.â&#x20AC;?

Be a holiday hero – give the gift of life Red Cross urgently needs blood donations Emergencies don’t take a holiday. The American Red Cross urgently needs blood donors to make an appointment now to give and help ensure patients can get the treatment they need at a moment’s notice. In November 2016, a 100-foot maple tree fell on Mike McMahon, causing life-threatening injuries. He needed 11 units of blood dur-

ing emergency surgery and another seven units to treat complications after. Six weeks following the accident, McMahon was released from the hospital — just in time to spend the holidays with his family. “I’m grateful for the donors who gave me such an amazing gift — the gift of life,” said McMahon. “I was an occasional blood donor before the accident. Today, I donate as

often as I can to help ensure others receive blood when they need it most.” Now is an important time to give blood. A seasonal decline in donations occurs from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day when donors get busy with family gatherings and travel. In addition, severe winter weather can cause blood drive cancellations and negatively affect the blood supply. Patients like McMahon can’t afford for there to be a shortage of blood.

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: I know on the handicap placards, it is stated that they must be removed from hanging, while driving, but yet I see MANY hanging from Sgt. Troy H. mirrors, every Christianson day. I know you can’t hang fuzzy dice or other things from the mirror so I was just wondering about the handicap placards, since I see so many people driving with them hanging. Is there a fine if somebody gets pulled over for not removing them from the mirror or is it just that... a warning? Answer: Minnesota law prohibits any objects suspended between the driver and the windshield other than: sun visors, rearview mirrors, global positioning systems or navigation systems when mounted or located near the bottommost portion of the windshield; and electronic toll collection devices. This

law does not apply to law enforcement vehicles and other authorized emergency vehicles. If you have a disability parking certificate, it must be taken down while the vehicle is in motion. The certificate can only be suspended when the vehicle is parked. Having an object attached to the windshield or hanging from the rearview mirror can obstruct the driver’s view and result in a dangerous situation. The driver might not be able to see a vehicle, animal, pedestrian or bicyclist. Hanging other items such as air fresheners and fuzzy dice from the mirror is against the law. Law enforcement can and will conduct traffic stops when an object is blocking the driver’s view. A citation or warning may be issued. 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.

2018 Valley Design Employee Sharing Tree For the past 12 years Valley Design’s Employee Sharing Tree has made donations to Christmas in Fillmore County and the Fillmore County Food Shelf. Both programs assist families in Fillmore County. Christmas in Fillmore County benefits families in need during the Holiday Season with gifts for kids. The Fillmore County Food Shelf provides food for those in need. This year the Sharing Tree kicked off with a pumpkin carving contest on Halloween. Employees were offered the chance to show off their carving skills as well as given the opportunity to sponsor kids through Christmas in Fillmore County. Our 1st Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest produced 13 very creative pumpkins and the sponsorship of 28 kids. We are looking forward to doubling pumpkins and kid

sponsorships next year. Casey Bates, our paint line supervisor, was our most creative pumpkin carver. Casey was excited to donate his prize of a gift card to the Sharing Tree sponsoring a child in Christmas in Fillmore County. Our company’s Thanksgiving employee dinner was also an opportunity to donate canned foods for the Fillmore County Food Shelf. The week before our Sharing Tree delivery day we called out all ugly sweaters. We gathered everyone for a group photo, enjoyed Christmas cookies and judged 13 ugly sweaters. Tyler Chase, our warehouse person, truly had the UGLYest sweater. Tyler also donated his winnings back to the Sharing Tree program. On December 10, Valley Design employees delivered this year’s donations, which

are tripled by Valley Design, to both Christmas in Fillmore County and the Fillmore County Food Shelf. The first stop was Christmas in Fillmore County. Along with our gifts for the sponsored kids, we left toys, stuffed animals, coats, mittens and other gifts. In addition, Valley Design’s Employee Sharing Tree presented Christmas in Fillmore County with 200 plus gift cards totaling over $5,000. The next stop was the Fillmore County Food Shelf. Employees unloaded 5,785 pounds of food along with a cash donation of $4,000. This year we also want to thank Costco Wholesale. Some of the foods for the Fillmore County Food Shelf were Valley Design employees enjoy ed their ugly sweater contest. purchased through Costco. In Photo submitted return, Costco donated numerley Design employees wish you ous toys to Christmas in Fill- sharing. more County. Thank you for Looking ahead to 2019, Val- a blessed and healthy 2019.

Hunters on the lookout for Chronic Wasting Disease leverage state IT and scientific data ST. PAUL, MN — Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a neurological disease afflicting deer that causes the animals’ brains to deteriorate until they experience emaciation, abnormal behavior, loss of bodily functions, and ultimately death. This hunting season, hunters and wildlife researchers are using a new online application developed by state science and technology experts at Minnesota IT Services (MNIT) and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to see whether or not the deer they harvested tested positive for

Chronic Wasting Disease. “IT makes the biggest impact to citizens when it’s developed in partnership with other government agencies and offices,” said MNIT Commissioner Johanna Clyborne. “Working with the DNR, MNIT was able to help ease the process for recording deer samples for hunters as the state continues to monitor Chronic Wasting Disease in its wild deer populations.” This fall, the DNR required that hunters harvesting in mandatory testing areas (such as Deer Permit Area 603, oth-

erwise known as the Chronic Wasting Disease Management Zone, in southern Minnesota) bring their deer to designated CWD sampling stations. Hunters provide lymph node samples of their harvested deer and detail the exact location where the deer is harvested, and Wildlife Health Program staff at the DNR send their samples to a laboratory for analysis. As the DNR’s Wildlife Health Program researchers receive new data from the CWD testing laboratory, they are able to upload it directly to the new online application developed by MNIT. The application then automatically refreshes and displays the testing results online at mndnr.gov/ cwdcheck — directly informing hunters with the most current information about CWD testing results. The application allows Minnesota hunters who have provided CWD samples to simply enter their MN DNR number into the site to check the results of their test. “The Minnesota Deer Hunters Association and its nearly 20,000 members throughout Minnesota support aggressive actions to protect Minnesota’s wild deer from Chronic Wasting Disease,” said Craig Engwall. “The new application launched by MNIT has been a great new tool to help hunters check on their deer and stay safe.” The new online application

Word on the • Spring Valley

Street

also streamlines and increases government transparency to the process that hunters can use to track Chronic Wasting Disease. Since September, the online, public-facing application has received 11,216 unique views to the site, and it has processed 9,032 sample lookups. The application currently assists state wildlife experts in monitoring the 5,532 recorded Chronic Wasting Disease testing samples for the season. “Previously, only hunters within the CWD Management Zone could look up their results on the DNR website, and we created summary tables that were uploaded to the CWD webpage periodically. This new app allows

us to complete both of these steps at the same time,” said Wildlife Health Program researcher Kelsie LaSharr. According to the sampling tables on the application, 10 deer harvested from hunters in the Chronic Wasting Disease Management Zone have tested positive for the Chronic Wasting Disease since July 2018, with another three harvested outside the disease management zone. To read more about Chronic Wasting Disease, search testing results, learn about late-season hunts, and follow the state’s efforts to manage the disease, visit the DNR’s Chronic Wasting Disease website at mndnr.gov/ cwd.
