Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation’s Give to the Max Day is an annual event held statewide on November 17 that focuses on supporting local non-profit organizations in your community. It was evident again this year, it’s eighth year, how much Give to the Max day means to residents in the area and the importance of the work the foundations do. Sue Kolling, President of the Spring Valley Area Community Foundation (SVACF) in Spring Valley, Minn., and board member of SMIF, would like to give a big shout out to their donors, saying, “We raised almost $19,000 on November 17,” which is amazing! The money raised this year by the SVACF will be used to support the State Veterans Home in Spring Valley, states Kolling, as the foundation has committed $25,000 towards this. “We see the ability to attract the State Veterans Home to our community as a huge economic driver for our community, our school and area residents,” says Kolling, adding, “we felt the Foundation should take a leadership role in supporting this project and show our commitment and the community’s commitment to this project” that will be of great importance to the area. In the event the veterans home is not approved in Spring Valley, the funds will be used according to the vision, mission and purpose of the foundation, which is “Striving to build a dynamic community by encouraging generosity, promoting civic engagement and providing the opportunity to enhance the quality of life by

Ostrander couple jailed after disturbing discovery paul@fillmorecountyjournal.com

On November 17, 2016 a Fillmore County Probation Officer contacted Ostrander Police Chief Tom Mosher regarding one Ryan Robert Rechtzigel, 36, of Ostrander. Among the concerns were that for Rechtzigel’s five-year-old child, who hadn’t been seen at Rechtzigel’s wedding to Angela Lynn Stewart, 31, of Ostrander. Mosher made some calls. Acquiantances of the couple said they hadn’t seen the five-year-old in some time. The child had been taken out of school with plans to “home school”. Probation officers arranged a meeting with Rechtzigel. He tested positive for meth at the conference. Chief Mosher and the probation officers then went to Rechtzigel’s residence in

Ostrander on a probation visit. They found Stewart and the couple’s two youngest children (one 2 years old, one 7 months old) on the main floor. On the upper floor, concealed behind a one-way (in-only) piece of plywood, they found the fiveyear-old confined to a room. The child was happy to see Mosher. The upstairs was considerably colder. The child was just in pajamas. There were no other clothes, no blankets, no toys, and a broken sofa with no cushions. The child had multiple physical injuries and scars. Social Services were called to take in the children. Rechtizgel and later, Stewart (who admitted to doing meth recently), were taken into custody. Inspection of the house revealed meth and methamphetamine paraphernaSee OSTRANDER Page 17 

The money SVACF raised last year was dispersed throughout the community, according to Kolling. Recipients included the Wykoff Veterans Memorial, the Little Husker 1k kids run, Missoula Children’s Theatre for

Kingsland school, St. Johns and homeschool children; Music in the Park, Gateway Academy - STEM Summer School, the annual banquet, a summer reading program, and the Spring Valley Historical Society. See GIVE TO MAX Page 2 

Sixteen years after being first identified in captive Minnesota elk herds and five years after the state’s only case involving a wild herd, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been identified in Fillmore County. Two bucks were harvested approximately four miles west of Lanesboro in permit area 348. While not a complete surprise, the result is certainly devastating to the ongoing work of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The deer were taken about a mile apart, during the first firearm season, but on different weekends by different hunting

parties, with the first harvested Sunday, November 6 and the second Sunday, Nov. 13, according to Lou Cornicelli, DNR Wildlife Research Manager. In a press release, the DNR indicated that 2,493 samples were collected November 5-13 and 373 additional samples collected November 19-21, representing one third of all deer harvested during that time in southeastern Minnesota. Of those, these were the only deer to test positive for the devastating neurological disease. “It’s a huge sport in our area and there are a lot of people it’s See CWD Page 9 

The Chosen Valley Community Foundation (CVCF) is an active group whose funds are managed by the Rochester Area Foundation. The mission of the CVCF is “The Chosen Valley Community Foundation will be well known for its efforts to inspire, sustain and enhance the quality of life for the Chatfield community’s residents, from the youngest to the oldest. The Foundation will achieve this goal by facilitating, supporting and acting as a catalyst for community growth as it works synergistically with and through community partners,� according to the Foundations website cvcfoundation.com. Tom Vinson, board member of the CVCF, says, “We are gradually increasing our footprint in the community. Each year we give out grants throughout the Chosen Valley Community. These grants support our mission to promote the quality of life and well-being of the citizens in the Chosen Valley Community. These projects can be charitable, educational, scientific, religious, literary, enhance public safety, beautify the environment, foster sports competition, and help prevent cruelty to children

or animals,� which are all well deserved areas of interest. Although the Rushford Community Foundation does not push Give to the Max day as “we have a couple of other fundraisers during the year and we don’t want people to get burned out on being asked for donations,� says member Bonnie Prinsen, they still received a total of $815 in donations that day online. “We are so grateful to all the generous, community-minded people in our area,� states Prinsen. The Lanesboro Area Community Foundation (LACF) is in its infancy and member Louise Wolfgramm commented that “participating in Give to the Max Day would have been premature this year,� but undoubtedly the members look forward to their foundation growing and participating in the future. Steve Donney, President of the Harmony Area Community Foundation (HACF), states, “Our day went well thanks to great planning and effort by Vicky Tribon, the head of our Give to the Max committee, and her committee members,� whose hard work paid off. The committee had set a goal of $10,000 to raise on November 17. “We had approximately $9,300 in donations for the day,� says Donney, adding that “two

businesses, First Southeast Bank and Harmony Enterprises both matched $1 for each $3 raised up to $1,000,� so with those two $1,000 contributions, “our total for the day was approximately $11,300,� states Donney. “$2,000 of the proceeds are earmarked for the Harmony area senior citizens group for programming and activities and another $2,000 for the Historical Society,� states Donney. Vicky Tribon with the HACF explains how they plan ahead for Give to the Max Day, which includes posters being delivered to area businesses by their students members Kiera Olson, Ryli Tostenson and Ashley Haugerud. An insert is included in utility bills, making residents aware of the event and other coverage is made possible by newspaper articles, public access channel and Facebook coverage. Another effective tool was Gerri Nielsen sending out a group email to past HACF donors. The Preston Area Community Foundation (PACF) is also a very active group whose mission is “To serve the greater Preston area by supporting programs and projects that improve the quality of life and build a stronger community,� which is a very worthwhile mission. During the 2016 Give to the

Max event, participating for the fifth consecutive year, PACF raised a total of $18,390.76. Chairperson Chuck Aug stated it was “a huge success again this year� and recognized the work done by Kari Odenbrett, who chairs the Give to the Max Committee, and the members of the committee. It is wonderful that there are so many people who want to make their community be the best it can be for its residents and visitors. The best part of Give to the Max Day is the fact that 100% of donations raised stay within the communities. According to a press release by SMIF, “Minnesota’s Give to the Max day had a record setting year, bringing in $20.1 million in donations. Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) and its affiliates raised

$48,000, with some matching dollars still to be totaled,� which is great news for all communities and community members involved. SMIF oversees 26 community foundations in a 20-county region. To find out more information visit smifoundation.org. Although it is great to Give to the Max each November 17, remember that donations can be made to these vital foundations any time of year at GiveMN.org.

C ommentary A letter to President Obama

Christianity. You were drawn to the words of Jesus who taught that “we should love one another, feed the hungry, heal the sick and that the rich should care for the poor. We are told not to judge others and to love our enemies, that his love includes everyone. In the Christmas story the angels tell the shepherds, “Behold we bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to ‘all’ people!” I admire your personal integrity. You are not motivated by ego, acquiring wealth, or power. You see working in government as a way of serving the people in this country. Family is your first priority. You missed having a father when you were growing up. Because of this, you have been determined to be a part of the daily lives of your wife and daughters. Listening to them and laughing with them helps you to keep your life in perspective. I never miss any of your

speeches. I always find inspiration in your words. You continually amaze me with your unfailing ability to rise to any occasion. My favorite memory came when you sang “Amazing Grace” as part of the eulogy for the slain Charleston church pastor Clementa Pinckney. It was a magical moment! When you took office, you did not promise to “keep us safe.” Your words were “I will do everything in my power” to keep you safe. While you have the courage to confront adversity, you prefer diplomacy, when possible, to a military solution in solving problems. You have worked to partner with other countries, believing rightly that we should build a coalition in concert with other nations to fight against the evil in the world. Temperament and self control are essential in leadership. You are a master at using wit and humor to diffuse hostility

and insults. You are at ease in public, with informal situations, and to our delight, as a guest on talk shows. Somehow you always emerge with your grace and dignity intact. Perhaps the most important characteristic required by a President is good judgment. It is necessary to collect as much information as possible and have in your arsenal an abundance of facts. Your judgment was first tested when you chose the members of your cabinet. When it came to staff you chose wisely. Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, among others, have put love of country ahead of personal ambition and share with you the desire to serve the citizens of this country. In closing, I wish you and your family happiness in your new life. With Gratitude, I am sincerely, Yvonne Nyenhuis in Lanesboro, Minn.

Journal Writing Project:

is easier said than done. In the moment of pain, it can seem nearly impossible to speed up during a race if needed. It takes much practice and mental preparation to develop the high level of determination needed during a race. Looking back, sometimes this determination can be “too much.” In most sports, coaches will have the individual sit out if he/she throws up during a game. However, in my case, as I threw up three times during one cross country race, my coach told me to keep running. In fact, she urged me to run faster to make up for lost time. Physically, this wasn’t ideal, but I listened to my coach and finished the race strongly. Now, I wouldn’t recommend this path, but at the time, it seemed like the only option. While cross country is compa-

rable to many other high school sports in teaching individual values, it differs greatly in the aspect of teaching friendship. Cross country meets are known for being extremely supportive and upbeat environments, more so than the environments found at other sporting events. Runners will often be found wishing other teams good luck before the race and saying congratulations after. Many times, the top finishers of a race will remain at the finish line long after they are done, and shake every runner’s hand as he/she crosses the finish line, complimenting the runner on a great race. Teams often form bonds and friendships with other teams instead of rivalries. Possible explanations for this difference include the fact that in cross country there isn’t just one winner and one “loser,” like in many different athletic programs. Cross country, a popular high school sport, has been an important part of my life for the past four years. It has taught me the essential life lessons of hard work, determination, and drive. While these three values could have been found had I chosen a different sport, I would’ve missed out on some great friendships with people from other teams. Cross country has an extremely positive atmosphere, not always found in other sports. My experi-

ences in the sport have allowed me to form lifelong memories with countless lifelong friends. But beware: if you throw up during a cross country race, you will be expected to keep running. Kiera Olson is a student at Fillmore Central High School. She is one of eight area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its eighteenth year.

By Yvonne Nyenhuis Life is full of surprises, including the results of the election and the former President George W. Bush taking up portrait painting! Yvonne Before the Nyenhuis election, a little girl in kindergarten asked, “Why can’t we keep the President we have?” The day after the election, I had a telephone call from my best friend in Pennsylvania. She was jubilant. With boundless enthusiasm she told me that President–elect Trump would clean up the corruption in Washington (drain the swamp) and how he is for “the little people!” I was delighted to hear the happiness in her voice, but

at the same time, astonished that anyone could believe this to be true. The comedian Larry Wilmore, when hosting the NBA awards, asked the question, “Is this country ready for a “white” President?” As we approach a new year and a new chapter in our history, I want you to know how much it has meant to me that you have been standing watch over our country for these last eight years. On January 20, 2009 I watched with unmeasured joy as you became the 44th President of the United States. In “Dreams from My Father” you shared how as a young man you realized that what gives life meaning is serving others. You described your experience working as a community organizer in Chicago. It was during this time that you embraced

Cross Country commentary By Kiera Olson As my final high school cross country season comes to a close, I’m able to look back on my four years of experience very favorably. I reached success on the courses, but what will stick with me more throughout my life, rather than Kiera Olson race results, are the endless values the sport taught me. Much like other high school athletics, cross country teaches hard work and determination. However, unlike many Editorial Cartoon

sports, cross country instills the value of friendship in its participants. High school cross country has been an unforgettable experience for me and many of my teammates. As is common in much of high school athletics, cross country teaches many lessons that will remain valuable throughout your entire life. The beginnings of this lengthy list include hard work, determination, and drive. Cross country is a mentally demanding sport. Running is extremely painful, and oftentimes it can seem all too easy to give up. However, it is up to the runner to persevere and push through the pain. However, this

C ommentary The giving season begins By Tim Penney There are two numbers I’ve been reflecting on this month: $2.1 billion and $373.3 billion. One of these is the total amount raised by the Trump and Clinton campaigns in the last election cycle. One is Tim Penny the amount of charitable contributions during 2015, a record-setting year. Can you guess which is which? You may be surprised to learn that the smaller amount - $2.1 billion - is what went toward presidential elections. $2.1 billion is not an inconsequential sum; I can think of a thing or two I’d do with that kind of money that could be more useful than mailbox flyers and attack ads. But, more important, that $2.1 billion pales in comparison to the $373.3 billion that the second most generous nation (Myanmar beat out the U.S. last year, according to the Worldwide Giving Index) contributed to charitable purposes in 2015. The point of calling out these numbers is not to make you give more - or less - to political campaigns. Being a former congressman myself, believe me, I know there is a lot of rhetoric about the role of political contributions, and individuals donating to candidates is not where the problem lies. Rather,

what I want you to note is that across the board, Americans are generous people. Minnesotans are no exception. On Give to the Max Day alone, people collectively donated $20.1 million to Minnesota charities. In Spring Valley, a community of 2,429, nearly $19,000 was raised for their local community foundation. For sure, November is a month of competing economic interests. November 25, aka Black Friday, officially kicks off the gift buying season, followed closely by Cyber Monday. Yet are you aware that November 29 is giving Tuesday? In Minnesota, that is the third charitable day of the month, following National Philanthropy Day (November 9) and Give to the Max Day (November 17). So, while we will be spending quite a bit in the next month and a half on holiday gifts and parties, we are also being asked to open our wallets for a variety of charitable causes. Again, I point these facts out not to solely ask you for money - although I will make a strong case that giving to Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) is a smart investment in the region - but to make you reflect on one of the most important ways you invest in our collective future. Clearly politics and government are not the only way to bring about change. Our charitable organizations are also vitally important to our

nation’s success. No doubt, this election has left a strong emotional wake. As I mentioned in my last op-ed, I don’t expect that to go away quickly. In response, many people are already turning to charitable contributions as a way to support causes they care about deeply. They see organizations like SMIF as flexible, non-partisan, issue-focused vehicles for making a difference. So, as you make your shopping gift list, I would also encourage you to spend some time thinking about the areas where you want to make a difference. As in politics, I advocate for making those contributions (as well as gift purchases) as local as possible. If you have a local community foundation - here at SMIF we alone help to manage 26 in our region - consider supporting their endowment fund. If you feel concerned about a particular issue post-election, find charities that are working for your cause. Perhaps even consider forming a giving circle, pooling resources with others interested in a similar cause, such as the WINGS group in Northfield (Women in Northfield Giving Support). There are many more such organizations to choose from. For those of you who have already contributed this year - both in time and money thank you. A spirit of generosity is one of the many assets that makes our region special. As always, I welcome your comments and questions. You can reach me at timp@smifoundation.org or (507) 4553215.

Monday, December 5, 2016 says Dr. Paul Anderson, Minnesota Board of Animal Health, who has worked with farmed herds since 1990. “All of these farms have been testing and have tested negative for CWD for more than ten years. One has been testing since 1998. All samples have been negative.” Anderson explained that one of the four farms has double fences to keep wild and captive herds from nose to nose contact. A second farm is in the process of putting double fences in. “We are verifying that they are fenced. We work proactively with those in the industry and do our due diligence to make sure they’re doing their part. We view CWD seriously and are working to keep it restricted. There’s no reason to fear spread by herds. These have tested negative and we want to make sure herds are not exposed to disease. Our message is our farmers are doing their job and we’re working to make sure they do.” Testing for the disease is simple and highly encouraged. “We remove two lymph nodes from the neck and they go the diagnostic lab at Colorado State University for analysis. They do a screening ELISA to make a preliminary judgement on the sample. If it comes back positive, the tissue is analyzed using immunohistochemistry. The IHC test is the confirmatory test. The turnaround on the ELISA is three business days,” explains Cornicelli. Additionally, hunters can fill out a form, complete it and place it (along with the head of a harvested deer), in drop boxes located at: Preston Forestry office, Lanesboro Fisheries office, Magnum Sports in Chatfield, and Oak Meadow Meats in Harmony. In the surveillance areas, samples are tested free of charge. There appears to be no impact on the local hunt, thus far. Muzzleloader season is currently open and bow hunting open until the end of the year. Cornicelli says the state hasn’t seen the economic

effect Wisconsin has had. “When the disease was found near Pine Island, we didn’t lose hunters. Conversely, when it was found in Wisconsin in 2002, we lost about 10% of our southeast hunters for one year. At the time, much less was known about the disease and people were more afraid for their personal health and safety. I don’t see that today. People are much more educated about the disease and understand it’s limited to cervids only,” he says. “We still recommend proper food handling guidelines; however, hunters seem to understand the low risk.” So far, the response from hunters has been good. “I worked in Chatfield for two weekends and hunters were, and have always been, great. They willingly donate the sample, but also say they hope we don’t find it,” Cornicelli adds. “I think people understand what’s going on with increasing prevalence and the long-term implications on herd health and viability. I think we all share a common goal of protecting our deer population from a disease that is 100% fatal.” Hunters, likewise, seem to be backing the efforts of the DNR. “They’ve done a great job of staying on top of it. I’m 110% supportive of the DNR and I fully support their decisions,” adds Vagts, who anticipates an intensive harvest in permit area 348 and possibly 347. He acknowledges this would diminish herd, having a negative effect on hunting on that area for a few years, but says having the disease prevalent would be greater. According to Cornicelli, when it comes to hunting, the DNR will certainly be lowering densities as they eye the big picture. “When you deal with wild animals, the best response is a quick response. If you look to Wisconsin, the agency hasn’t been able to control it effectively, and they’ve got a serious problem. Our goal is to eliminate the disease and lower contact opportunities. No, we’re

not going to kill every deer on the landscape, but this is something you have to do to have healthy herds. Our goal is to only have a short term disruption and it means setting aside our personal desires for a larger goal. “You have to weigh the consequences; look at as a whole. It’s unfortunate, but the herd will come back and hopefully healthier. It might be painful things now, but I’m hoping in the not too far future, researchers will come up with live test and vaccine that will totally change the issue.” There will be a public meeting in December to announce the state’s 26-page, four-step CWD response plan details. No specific date, time, or location has been set, but the DNR is hoping to host the meeting sooner rather than later. In the meantime, landowners and hunters can stay updated via DNR news releases and the DNR CWD homepage, www.mndnr.gov/cwd. The public is encouraged to sign up for email alerts as well. “Our goal is to keep people informed every step of the way,” adds Cornicelli. “Keep informed, stay aware.” “It’s crucial to get a lot of good information out to our county right now,” echoes Vagts. “Hunting is a long important tradition in my family. I’ve already reached out to two friends in the core area and have invited them to hunt at my place.” Cornicelli also believes it’ll be important to have a place for people to go and says that if hunting groups can help to facilitate that, their partnership will be an vital one. “The community needs to be supportive and we need to help the community understand,” adds Vagts.” I just hunted my 60th year with my grandchildren and had immense pleasure in that. It’s a huge part of my life and I want the same opportunity for them; to hunt a non-CWD herd. To do that, we have to be aggressive, stop this disease, and be supportive of the DNR.”

Domestic shorthair/mix I’m a cute orange and white kitten called Russet. My sisters and I all have Thanksgiving holiday-theme names. We were found without our mom near Assisi Heights in mid-October. I was the runt - a tiny spud - and I cried and cried when I got to the shelter. None of us kittens would eat much, so we went to a foster home, where I began to eat “like a trooper,” my foster mom said. I definitely made up for lost time, and I’m a big boy now. Just like taters, kitties come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. I hope out of all the kitties you see, you will choose Russet to be your little potato boy.

Spring Valley to join safety training group

nS

tat

ion

By Rich Wicks The Spring Valley City Council met in regular session on Monday, November 28, 2016. Members in attendance were Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Mayor Jim Struzyk, and City Administrator Deb Zimmer. Jeff Vehrenkamp and Bill Bires were absent. No visitors had signed up to address the council. The council approved prior minutes and accounts payable, then discussed the audit proposal from Smith, Schafer & Associates. Zimmer summarized that the cost of the proposed audit will be $495 higher than last year, but “They do public utilities (audits) also, and it’s easier when it’s the same (auditor).” The council voted unanimously to accept the audit proposal. Next, Zimmer discussed Resolution 2016-33, authorizing Spring Valley to join a new regional safety group. The resolution outlines that the League

of Minnesota Cities (LMC) has created an initiative to offer trainings to cities that form regional safety groups. She explained the LMC would pay for half the cost of such trainings. After some discussion of the pro’s and con’s, the council voted to accept the resolution. The council then OK’d Resolution 2016-34, imposing special assessments for work ordered done. There were two parcels that the city mowed, and the costs to be assessed are $665 and $150. Next, the council approved a temporary liquor license for the Brave Community Theater, for their Valentine’s dinner theater. Jenny Simon reported on happenings at the library, stating that new snow stoppers are being installed on the roof. She also told the council that the library received around $200 for the first payment related to the new “recycling” bin outside the library, which collects clothing and other

Channel 15/

household items. She said the first collection included 1,600 pounds of clothing and 185 pounds of miscellaneous items. Troy Lange reported that the fire department had “a fairly quiet month” and is continuing with trainings. Deputy Tim Rasmussen reported “a busier month than the last couple,” and his report showed a total of 83 activities in October, including nine on October 30. The activities report showed a wide variety of issues, including theft, assisting the ambulance, several dog concerns, vehicle accidents, a missing person, domestic disturbances, and suspicious activity. Deputy Rasmussen reported there are no concerns with the three squad cars. Laura Beckman’s monthly ambulance report showed a total of 47 calls for service in October, with 34 requiring transportation. She said there was a missed call on November 3, and she reported that, “Jessica Monday, February 29 at 2p.m.Kohn and Brother Music Sisterhave started ride Zach Gilbertson Rhythmand are progressing nicely alongs in classes.” Thursday, March 3 at 9a.m. Blood Zimmer brought Pressure Clinic up a situation about a citizen who she said Thursday, March 3 at 9a.m. isCoffee “planning to bore into South with Friends Broadway his house. The Friday, Marchfrom 4 at 2p.m. problem not Timers platted…If he Casey andis, theit’sGood does it, we could look at about Wednesday, March 9 at 2p.m. $120,000 to fix it properly.” The Arnold Walter Brand council discussed the issue, and Thursday, March 10 at 9a.m. voted to send the owner a letter Coffee with Friends

Letter to Santa

explaining that if such a cost is incurred, it would be his responsibility. The council asked that the letter also asks him to do something about the “dirt piles” that currently sit on his property. Zimmer also informed the council that two mixers at the wastewater treatment plant are in need of repair, and the total cost will

be around $9,000. The council OK’d this. In December, the council will have only one regular meeting, which will be on December 12, and will include the annual “Truth in Taxation” information. The council will meet briefly during the last week of December just to approve payment of bills.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal.com In August, if you would’ve told Rushford-Peterson (12-1) football that they’d The Trende play for a Report state title, they’d have naturally been all in. A few days in late November will sting a bit for the TroPaul Trende jans. They got to the Class A state title game and came up a bit short. From pre-season section contenders to state title game competitors was a great ride, a great achievement. On the wings of a few solid R-P football years, Davin Thompson’s athletic, tough, and scrappy bunch, and their supremely talented running back, re-affirmed, re-established the program as a state power. They guys grabbed R-P (football and athletically) another big-time banner. R-P’s state title game foe, Minneapolis-North (13-0), proved their ranking, their hype. Last year’s Class A runner-up was touted as better than a season ago, because they were a team (not reliant on standout, current Gopher, Tyler Johnson). Ranked #2 all season, North became the heir apparent when defending state champion #1 Minneota fell in the sections. Yet, it was R-P that fired the first shot. On the games second play, Noah Carlson found a hole, made a cut, a spin, and was gone. His 74-yard TD run made it 7-0. North replied with a 12-play, 63 yard drive. A Luke Rasmussen interception in the end zone ended the threat. But the Polars’ ability to move the ball was an omen. Their next offensive series covered 58 yards in nine plays. Senior quarterback Azerick Rodgers was 4-for-4 for 60 yards. The last completion was a 13-yard TD to Taylor Johnson. With conversion, North went ahead 8-7. R-P then drove, but Carlson ran into 6’3” 230pound Phillip Scott, who forced a fumble. T-Johnson picked it up and sprinted 61-yards for a fumble recovery TD. With 2-pointer, North went up 16-7. Midway thru the second, R-P stopped North on downs near mid-field. Four plays later, they faced 4th and three and the North 11. Landon Skalet lofted a pass toward the pylon, Carlson made a leaping grab, and then was walloped into the end zone. Jake Paulson’s PAT closed the lead to 16-14. With 0:52 left in the half, the Polars stayed aggressive, only to lose a fumble on a roll-out pass (Carter Weidemann

recovery). R-P was in business at the North 12. They made the one very late (0:10). Skalet was then tripped up by his own player while coming out from under center. With no timeouts, timed expired. An opportunity was missed. The Trojans went to half down 16-14. The second stanza saw R-P get a three-and-out defensively, then a first down offensively, only to punt. From there on, the Polars controlled things. They went on a 14-play, 86-yard, and six-plusminute drive. Kehyan Porter’s 8-yard TD run made it 22-14. The 2-point pass, good on replay, was ruled no good, keeping it a one-possession game. The missed call wouldn’t matter. R-P’s first three drives of the second half had a combined 11 plays. They ran 13 total second half offensive plays. The Polars had two double digit scoring drives. Time of possession in the second was 14:54 (North) to 7:19 (RP). R-P defensively just couldn’t get off the field. The game-clinching drive was a 13-play, 51-yarder in the fourth. A Rodgers to Corleon Powell 13-yard TD pass on 4th and goal iced the game with 2:19 left. By a final of 30-14, North was crowned Class A state champions. They used speed, size, and depth of talent to grab their title. Quarterback Azerick Rodgers (10-13, 115 yards, 2 TDs, INT, two 2-pointers passing, 12-60 rushing) led the way. Three other Polars had at least 70 yards offense; Nazir El-Amin (11-70 rushing, 4-35 receiving), Isaac Johnson (4-54 receiving, 4-25 rushing), and Jamin Smith (1078 rushing). Porter (14-42, TD rushing), Powell (13-yard TD reception), and T-Johnson (13yard TD reception, 61-yard FR TD) provided the scores. Phillip Scott (6’3” 230”), Nate Wheeler (5’7” 270), and Odell Wilson (6’5” 230) helped control the trenches. R-P turned to their stand-out, Carlson. He was still the best player on the field (27161, TD rushing; 11-yard TD reception, 1-1, 32 yards passing). He had 27 of R-P’s 32 carries, threw one of the Trojans’ completions, and caught the other. Rasmussen had a 32-yard reception, an interception. Dawson Dahl had a team-high nine tackles. The Trojans highlight-filled State Runner-Up season ends at 12-2. It’s their best finish since the 2006 13-1 state title team. It’s their fifth straight winning season under Davin Thompson. Carlson had one of the best individual seasons in Minnesota history (See AOTW). He and his classmates, Landon Goree (RB/ LB), Spencer Majerus (RB/LB), Rasmussen (WR/CB), McCoy Tekautz (DT/RB), Preston Lecy (OL/DL), Austin Brand (OL/ DL), Jordy Markegard (OL/DL),

and Ethan Anderson (OL/DL), go out following an epic senior season.

Boys Basketball Preview

The season begins with a bunch of county teams trying to rally after less than ideal 20152016 campaigns. It was bound to happen. Rushford-Peterson was bound to finally not win the section. After a four-year state run, the Trojans fell to Spring Grove in last year’s 1A East finals. Tom Vix’s group finished 14-3 (TRC), 20-9 (overall), as 1A East runner-up. It was their sixth straight 20-win season. Sub-section runner-up trophies don’t cut it, so this year’s Trojans will look to rally. They graduated one All-TRC player (Matt Culhane) and four fulltimers. They return (eventually) their most versatile athlete, fourth-year stand-out, All-TRC pick Noah Carlson (6’1” senior G). Carlson was either first or second on the team in scoring (11.0 PPG), rebounding (5.2 RPG), assists (4.4 APG), and steals (3.2 SPG) last season. Rejoining him in the start- Noah Carlson ing line-up is fellow-senior sweet-shooting Luke Rasmussen (5’9” G > 8.6 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 2.4 APG, 2.4 SPG). Landon Goree (5’11” senior G/F > 2.5 PPG) was a mainstay last year. Jake Paulson (6’1” junior F) and Landon Skalet (5’9” sophomore) were late season contributors. Trojan footLuke ball’s success Rasmussen helps and hurts. A lot of the keys guys are the same, but R-P basketball won’t be full strength until after the New Year cause of injury (Carlson). R-P has three seniors, six juniors, and four sophomores on varsity. The only FCJ covered team that won’t have to rally is Houston. The Hurricanes had a 30-year best campaign last year, going 17-3 (SEC), 22-5 (overall). They fell to R-P in the 1A East semis. Jason Carrier graduated six seniors who accounted for nearly all of the minutes and stats. Three made All-SEC teams, including 1,000-scorer Austin Peplinski. Seniors Tyler Albrecht (6’1” F > 1.9 PPG, 2.0 RPG) and Brandon Grupe (5’9” G > 2.0 PPG) are the only two returnees to play in 20-plus games last season. Experienced Wesly Johnson is back in the fray. They are three of five seniors. Seven juniors and five sophomores round out Houston’s 17-man varsity roster.

The Fillmore Central Falcons enter the year looking to rally from last year’s 3-14 (TRC), 8-19 (overall) season. Aaron Mensink’s group fell at W-K in a 1A quarterfinal. FC will have to overcome the losses of last year’s leading scorer (All-TRC) Trace Tollefson, and their wouldbe returning scorer, Sam Rustad (6’1” senior F > 8.1 PPG, 4.1 RPG). A torn ACL in football will unfortunately keep him off the basketball court. Returning key seniors DrewTienter (6’5” C > 7.3 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 1.8 BPG), Riley Means (5’10” G > 6.5 PPG, 2.9 RPG, Drew Tienter 3.6 APG, 2.2 SPG), and Samuel Peters (5’8” G > 4.3 PPG, 1.9 RPG, 2.0 APG) will head the squad. They are part of a ten-man senior class. Tienter is in his third year of varsity action, and is one of four 6’5” seniors. A nine-man junior class, plus one sophomore, make the Falcons as big a squad (20) as any. The Lanesboro Burros ended last season 6-14 (SEC) and 7-20 (overall). They fell to Spring Grove in a 1A East quarterfinal. Second-year coach Chris Hanson should have cause for optimism. He graduated three fulltime seniors, Cole but returns Schwichtenhis top three berg scorers. Cole Schwichtenberg heads the cast. The 6’1” senior guard was second team

athlete of the week

Trojan Football State Runner-Up

All-SEC last season with team bests in scoring (16.7), rebounding (7.4), and assists (3.9). He’s been Lanesboro’s leading scorer the past two seasons Collin Scott and is nearing 1,000 points. He gets help from third-year teammate Colin Scott (6’1” senior G), who gives team black and orange a second returning double-digit scorer (10 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 3.7 APG, 2.1 SPG). Sophomores Andrew Luck (6’1” G > 5.5 PPG, 3.3 RPG) and Carson Schwichtenberg (5’9” G > 9.3 PPG the last fourteen games) give the Burros good returning scoring punch. Kingsland begins the year with a somewhat fresh start. Head coach John Fenske saw eleven seniors graduate, including AllTRC guy, 1,000-point scorer Quinn Larson. The Knights will look to improve upon last year’s 4-14 (TRC), 10-17 (overall) showings. They fell to Houston in the 1A East quarters. This year’s cast is headed by a big junior class featuring Zach Bubany (5’8” G > 5.5 PPG) and Ian Meisner (6’7” C > 4.5 PPG). Each played a lot last year as sophomores. Senior Zach Buchholtz (6’1” G/F > 3.2 PPG) is another returning full-timer. He is one of four seniors to go with seven juniors and two sophomores to comprise the Knights’ 13-man roster. The Chatfield Gophers will be the only county boys team with a new coach. Jeff DeBuhr takes over for Tom Bance. DeBuhr was the Gopher girls B-squad coach last season. He inherits a squad that went 6-12 (TRC), 6-19 See SPORTS Page 16 

Rushford attempts to gain Safe Routes to School grant By Kirsten Zoellner The Monday, November 28 Rushford Council meeting was quick, but the council made headway of several standing items. These include a revised plan for a Safe Routes to School grant application. The city submitted an application in December of 2015, but was unsuccessful in securing funding. With construction of a new pre-K to grade 12 facility underway within the city, the initial plan called for three trail sections. One on the east side of the Highway 43 corridor from the Rush Creek Bridge north, another at Pine Meadows Lane, which runs along the north edge of the Ben Niggle Sports Complex to the new school, and between the east side of the sports complex and behind the Tyrol Hills subdivision. Originally, Highway 43 crossings were included at West Center Street and Northview Street. Working with Bolton & Menk, the city’s engineer, a revised plan was developed after meeting with Minnesota Department of Transportation. The meeting was held to receive input and incorporate potential changes to help insure their approval of the project. The new plan still has a trail along Highway 43, but it now ends at the Pine Meadows intersection instead of continuing north. Likewise, the Tyrol Hills trail has been removed. The Highway 43

The Rushford City Council discussed a revised Safe Routes to School application at the Monday, November 28 meeting. Pictured, left to right, are City Clerk Kathy Zacher, Councilors Terri Benson and Vern Bunke, Mayor Chris Hallum, Councilors Jim O'Donnell and Mark Honsey, and City Administrator Tony Chladek. Photo by Kirsten Zoellner crossings have been reduced to one location just south of Northview Street. A trail portion may now be added on the west side of Highway 43 between West Center Street and Northview Street. The estimated funding for the project was $374,700, but that number will shift with the newly added plan changes. If awarded the Safe Routes to School funding, the grant would provide 80% of the cost and the city and Rushford-Peterson School District

would share the remaining 20%. One hiccup noted at the meeting is just when funding would be given. While the new round of grants are expected to be awarded in the spring of 2017, the money would be available in 2018 or possibly beyond. “The language said ‘2021 funding.’ We’re trying to find out what that means,” said City Administrator Tony Chladek. “We’ll see how things come out. We’ve got planning to do yet on our end.”

“We need to figure out what hoops we have to jump through to make it work,” added Mayor Chris Hallum. The council also considered and approved the marketing for sale of the vacant lot at 110 West Winona Street. The property was donated the city by Rushford State Bank several years ago, at a time when the city was hoping to make sizeable improvement to the See SAFE ROUTES Page 18 

A little of this, A little of that. By Kathy Little According to a Chinese proverb, “Happiness is having something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for in the future.” That sounds like Christmas to me. We all have much to do during the holiday season such as cooking, decorating, shopping, crafting, wrapping, entertaining, and baking. My sisters, my nieces, and I baked cookies for six hours on Friday. It is an annual tradition started by my mom. We use her recipes and her cookie cutters. We tell stories about her. It is oral family history at its finest. The house smells of vanilla, almond, powdered sugar and butter. None of us know much about the stock market but we know about stocking up on doz-

ens of pounds of butter! Hopefully just like my family, your family also has Christmas traditions. Hopefully all of us have family, friends, and neighbors to love all year long and not just during holidays. It does seem like love is in the air at Christmas. People demonstrate their love for total strangers. They walk around with smiles on their faces and see the world as kind and bright and merry. If only this spirit of generosity and good will could be bottled so it would last even in January and February and July. Christmas is the season of

Bake covered, about 40 minutes or until bubbly around the edges and center is hot. Uncover, sprinkle with cheese. Bake about 5 min. more or until cheese is melted. Makes 8 servings.

hope. Hope for peace and prosperity. Hope for more time for the youngest and oldest family members. Hope for appreciation and gratitude for what we already have. Each of us need to recognize the blessings we don’t have to buy and wrap. Sometimes we all get so wrapped up in doing that we don’t take time for appreciating. So feel free to give yourself a “time out” to renew and refresh your batteries. Consider it a gift to yourself and others around you.

Blood drive in Harmony collects 40 units The blood drive held in Harmony on November 29, 2016, succeeded in collecting 40 units of blood. There were 48 donors that presented and one first-time participant. Congratulations to these two donors who reached the following milestones: Christy Bakken – 1 gallon and Geri Ehler – 4 gallons. The bloodmobile is sponsored by the Harmony American Legion Auxiliary, and many of the volunteers are Auxiliary members. However, numerous volunteers from the community also help make our blood drives successful. Thank you to everyone for your continued support in this worthwhile effort. The next bloodmobile will be in Harmony on Tuesday, April 11, 2017, from 1-7 p.m. If you’d like to schedule an appointment, please call Marilyn Bratager at (507) 937-3406 or schedule one online at http://www.redcrossblood.org/.

small part just east of the historic Hoiland Mill. Initially, the city had hoped to use the lot to create parking space and a city trail system point. When trail system plans were altered, due to Army Corps of Engineers denial of trail location, the city opted not to proceed with utilizing the lot. According to the city, considerable interest has been expressed by individuals in purchasing the lot in conjunction with the adjacent lot at 108 West Winona Street, a privately-owned property for sale. Both lots are undersized. The vacant lot would require application for several variances in order to be usable for housing. The Quonset-style house on the other lot is in need of extensive repair as it was damaged in 2007 flooding, gutted, and left vacant. If the lots were purchased together, the existing home could be remodeled or removed and a new home constructed. The appraised value of the cityowned lot in 2010 was $12,100. There are no current offers on the table, however the council is looking proactively at the situation and will list the lot for sale. “There’s been at least two very serious offers,” noted City Clerk/ Treasurer Kathy Zacher. Those contacting the city included both individuals and real estate firms. It was also noted that the sale of the lot fits with the Planning and Zoning Commission’s goals and the city’s Comprehensive Plan.

The city will list the land outright, rather than include it with other city-owned properties being listed in the inventory of local real estate company, Darr Auctions & Realty. If the property doesn’t move, the council may approve including it in that inventory list. Should the lot sell, there is no remuneration needed to the former lot owner. “Once it’s a gift to the city, we don’t need to ask for permission,” added Zacher. “It’s ours to use and maintain in the best interests of the citizens of Rushford.” The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, December 12, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend. Please note, the second meeting scheduled for December will be moved to Tuesday, December 27, due to the Christmas holiday.

Happy Holidays

from all of us at

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: The other day at an intersection I noticed a car with the windows so frosted up that the driver had to roll down a window to check for cars coming from my side. What is the law on frosted windows? W h e n I received this question my initial thoughts Troy H. were of a Christianson fatal pedestrian crash that I had been called to. I was the Crash Reconstructionist at an incident where an elderly woman walking across a busy intersection on her way to church was struck by a driver who was late for work.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

He didn’t see the woman in the roadway, consequently striking and killing her. The driver had not scraped his windshield properly, thus had limited visibility. Answer: Minnesota Stature 169.71 subdivision 3 states; “No person shall drive any motor vehicle with the windshield or front side windows covered with steam or frost to such an extent as to prevent proper vision.� While the statute does not mention rear windows, I highly recommend that all windows be cleared. Too many people remove the snow from the windows but leave it piled high on the engine hood. If all of the snow and ice is not properly removed it can be blown from the vehicle when highway speeds are reached. Snow and ice can also be sucked into the fresh air intake of your vehicle (normally located near the bottom of the front windshield) usually resulting in moisture fog on the inside of your windows

Page 27

and windshield. To ensure proper visibility, be sure to clear all snow and ice from your vehicle. Taking the proper steps could help you avoid 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.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

Low interest rate single family housing loans available FARIBAULT, MN – The USDA Rural Development Agency is currently accepting applications for loans available to low-income families to buy, build, rehabilitate or improve homes located in rural communities with a population of 20,000 or less. Faribault, Northfield and Owatonna are currently eligible areas as these communities are “grandfathered” into the program. The low-income limit varies by county and ranges from

$51,050 - $65,800 for a four person household in Southeastern Minnesota. The maximum loan limit for the counties served throughout the SE Region range is $216,840 - $257,600 (effective 6/15/2015). Approval for the maximum amount is based on household income and monthly debt obligations. NO down payment is required and a portion of the loan closing costs may be included into

the loan. The applicant must be unable to obtain the needed credit from another lending source, have an acceptable credit history, meet income guidelines, have repayment capacity to service any existing obligations and the home loan payment, be without adequate housing, be a United States citizen or a non-citizen legally admitted for permanent residence and have the ability to personally occupy

the home on a permanent basis. Funding is based upon an annual appropriation. Please contact our office for the necessary application information. Loans may be made for up to 100% of the appraised value of the home. The current interest rate for this program is 2.875% (effective November 1, 2016). The Rural Development loan may be subsidized to as low as a 1% effective interest rate, based on applicant eligibility and

financial need. The repayment period of the loan is typically 33 years. For information pertaining to the following counties: Blue Earth, Dakota, Dodge, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, LeSueur, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Scott, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca and Winona, contact the USDA, Rural Development office at 1408 21st Ave. NW #3, Austin, MN 55912.

By Michael Cruse Extension Educator Fillmore and Houston Counties Registration is now open for the second series of Transitioning to Organic orkshops hosted by the University of Minnesota. Our local meeting will be held Michael Cruse We d n e s day, December 7, 2016 in room HB117 of the Heintz Center in Rochester, Minn. This is a free, one-day workshop that will build on the information presented in the first series of workshops hosted last year. The Transitioning to Organic workshops have been developed for both producers who are seeking more information about organic transitioning and certification, and for farmers who are currently going through the process of transitioning to organic production. These workshops primarily will be directed to field crop producers, but all are welcome. Building on the information and feedback from last year’s workshops, 2016 topics include business plan development and marketing, understanding soil microbes, weed biology, and mechanical weed management. Experienced organic farmer, Carmen Fernholz, will be returning to present and field questions. The team of presenters from the University of Minnesota includes Kristine Moncada, Adria Fernandez, Gigi Digiacomo and Constance Carlson. The Transitioning to Organic workshops are designed to reduce confusion, answer questions, and most importantly, provide guidance for navigating the process toward organic production. Space is limited, so attendees are encouraged to RSVP as soon as possible. Easy, one-click registration and a full agenda are available on the eOrganic website: http://eorganic.info/node/20617. If you have any questions please contact Constance Carlson, University of Minnesota Extension, carl5114@umn.edu, (612) 7096790.
