Appellate Court reverses lower court on State Trail - Remands to District Court for further findings By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com
This decision may be a signal the case is nearing the end of the road or may just be another sharp curve in the long time effort to build a state trail from Preston to Forestville State Park. The decision of the court of appeals remands the case to the district court because in the appellate court’s opinion the district court failed to explain its
“analysis or interpretation of the statutory language.” The district court had determined that the trail segment was authorized by the state legislature as a segment of the Blufflands Trail system (Minnesota Stat. 85.015, subd. 7(b) and 86A.05, subd. 4). The Minnesota Court of Appeals opinion was handed down by a three-judge panel including Stauber, Halbrooks, See EMINENT DOMAIN Page 14

C ommentary Gettysburg Jacket By Eric Leitzen I’m back in a classroom again, subbing. The other day I had to grab my raincoat to fend off the elements while helping students through the crosswalk, and I noticed something as I was buttoning up the snaps. “This is my Gettysburg Eric Leitzen raincoat.” I never really saw the point of raincoats, to be honest. I grew up without a lot of luxuries, so you got a heavy coat for the winter, and a lighter one for spring and autumn. However, for my Senior Tour in high school, my parents splurged and got me a bunch of new items for my first trip out east: the backpack that got me through college, a brand-new camera and of course, the raincoat. For us hardened Midwesterners, a rainy spring out in Pennsylvania would have seen no use for the winter jacket, and the light jacket might have been soaked through by the rain, if the movies and television we’ve seen of drizzly mid-Atlantic coal mines were any indication. It always seemed to be gray out there… So, as we pulled into a drizzly, gray morning at the Gettysburg battlefield I grabbed for my raincoat out of the overhead compartment on the bus. I had the darn thing, and I was going to use it. I was actually the last off the bus, earning a small ribbing from my History teacher telling me to hurry up. My History teacher in high school was basically everything I ever wanted to be in a teacher (and everything I’m still trying to be, actually), so I made sure to hop to and get out there with the Editorial Cartoon
rest of my class to experience real, living History. Our tour guide, another former History teacher and allaround amazing person, made this experience one of the most educational of my lifetime, but not just in the sense that I learned what a “brass monkey” really was. These two men would show me the way to walk, talk, and exhibit History outside of the dry, boring textbooks we’d seen or the dull, washed-out filmstrips we were forced to watch. At one point in the evening, I picked up a few blades of grass from the ground and showed them to another student. “Do you know what’s in this grass?” I asked. “Pesticides, probably.” That’s when I knew I’d caught the bug, just like my tour guide and my teacher. Almost directly before that exchange, the tour guide had our class reenact a bit of History, telling us to run at a position on the battlefield tour like we were taking a Confederate position, yelling bloody murder all the way. It was exhilarating; my breath came in gasps, my arms pumped at my side of my new raincoat, my feet pounded the soggy ground, almost losing my balance. I pictured myself lurching forward to guaranteed shame, a faceful of mud and grass, one out of a class of fifty who couldn’t prove his mettle. But I forced one foot in front of the other, time and time and time again, until I righted myself and completed the charge. In retrospect, it speaks a lot to my entire high school experience: just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and you’ll get to the end. After that wet, gray afternoon in Pennsylvania (see? We were right!) I didn’t use the raincoat

Letter about tax rates To the Editor, It’s disturbing to hear that the rich must have low tax rates while old folks must sacrifice part of their earned benefits. Wealthy lobbying groups, our corporate owned media, and our corporate controlled politicians tell us we must cut Social Security benefits, but they are liars and deceivers. No sir! Let’s increase Social Security benefits. It’s surprisingly easy. We could lift the cap on taxed wages. We could have all income, including capital gains, subject to Social Security taxes. We could have a small financial transaction tax dedicated to the Social Security Trust Fund. We could simply have the general fund make up any future shortfalls in the Trust Fund and if necessary we could cut corporate welfare programs which burden our nation’s finances. Sen. Franken has promised to only vote for “no cuts” legislation to Social Security. Sen. Klobuchar was non-committal in response to my letter urging “no cuts” to Social Security. Please, Sen. Klobuchar, now is the time for leadership. Support our seniors. And what of the Republicans? They have proposed ending Social Security and Medicare as insurance programs, and instead letting Wall Street and private insurance companies take care of us. When routine recessions arrive, this Wall Street crap shoot will bring financial plague to many seniors and private insurance companies will put profits far ahead of health care.

C ommentary One Moment Please.... Our future
By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal & Olmsted County Journal Cell: 507-251-5297 jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com Our Team Sheena Tollefson, the Creative Director for the Fillmore County Journal and Olmsted County Journal, recently attended the Minnesota N e w s p a p e r Jason Sethre Assocation annual conference in Bloomington, Minn. At this annual event dedicated to media professionals,
she participated in a wide range of seminars covering all sorts of topics. When she came back to work from this conference, she shared what she learned with our entire team. As a media professional now chalking up my 20th year in the business, it was refreshing for me to hear all of the ideas she brought back from the annual event. Ultimately, what Sheena brought back to our team reminded me of the importance of continuously investing in the greatest resource of our company -- our employees. Sheena and her co-workers are the future of our company. Years ago, a mentor told me that I was the future of the company. He said that someday
I would be in a leadership role. I didn’t necessarily want to hear that, for that sounded like a lot of responsibility. And, I couldn’t imagine anyone looking to me for answers. But, somehow I learned the ropes and learned my way. So, as I look to Sheena and the rest of our wonderful team as we steer the ship together, I am optimistic for a bright future for our company and the people we serve. Our Students As I look at the young adults soon to be graduating from our high schools in Fillmore County, I am both encouraged and enlightened by what they will bring to the table. Every year for the past 14 years, the Fillmore County Journal has coordinated the “Journal Student Writing Project,” involving anywhere from seven to 15 students each school year.

Artist #36 will soon be here: Matt Duckett is a portrait painter and musician from LaCrosse, Wisc. He will be here February 18 – March 2, 2013, working to create portraits that draw upon traditions of art and music that he finds in Lanesboro. Matt will be meeting and connecting with community members, discovering their stories and conveying them through paint on canvas.

Musicians will gather together to play music and to share stories about the history of Irish and other music traditions. An excellent portrait artist, Matt Duckett has received numerous awards and commissions for his work.

In Lanesboro, Minnesota, the Lanesboro Residency Program has been providing opportunities for emerging artists to create new work and integrate work into the local community since 2001. Lanesboro Arts Center Residencies include stipend, lodging and studio space. Annual application deadline is June 30. For guidelines or more information, contact Lanesboro Arts Center, 507-467-2446 / info@lanesboroarts.org / www.lanesboroarts.org. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund. The Lanesboro Arts Center serves as a regional catalyst for artistic excellence and educational development in providing diverse art experiences for people of all ages. The galleries are located at 103 Parkway Ave N; the St. Mane Theatre is located at 206 Parkway Ave N in Lanesboro, Minn.
and not every school is always represented each year -- by choice of the English Department. In some cases, though, we’ve had some schools with up to eight students participating in the project. Well, back in 2009, we decided to commit to an annual $500 scholarship to be given away to one of the students participating in the “Journal Student Writing Project.” We have had students from Rushford-Peterson, Lanesboro and Fillmore Central become recipients of this annual scholarship since its inception in 2009. This school year, we had a total of four applications for the scholarship. And, let me tell you it was a tough decision for all of our judges (made up of
our team at the office). At the end of the process, Cody Hendrickson prevailed. While it was a close race, all of the judges unanimously voted for Cody Hendrickson to receive the $500 scholarship from the Fillmore County Journal. While reading today’s Journal, you’ll probably notice a commentary from Cody Hendrickson talking about how his community is unique. This was submitted with Cody’s application. I am particularly enthused that Cody is interested in going into broadcasting or journalism. We appreciate Cody’s aspirations, and we wish him great success as he graduates to the next level of his life experiences. Congratulations Cody!

he is spending most of his time on right now. He decribed an educational partnership with Winona State University. “It’s a program where students can come learn about angling trout and about the driftless area,” he said. “It’s to get kids out there so they can learn and experience it.” He is also working on social media and the website to promote tourism in Preston, and the great trout fishing. It’s not only outsiders that Sershen hopes to educate about this area. He knows there are a lot of local people that are not aware of the valuable resource right in Preston, and how much the area has to offer, not just for fishing, but for the enjoyment of nature. The National Trout Center is still working on getting a state bond or other funding for a new building in Preston that would be a great draw for tourists, as well as a great educational tool. “We will hopefully get some partnerships established that will help,” said Sershen. He added that a new building would open up a lot of opportunity. Right now he had to limit
the number of students from WSU due to space. It could also prove a wonderful tool for scientists to research the different ecosystems with the living stream running through the building. When Sershen catches a trout, he doesn’t kill them, but releases them back into the water. He recently caught a large brown trout that he has been trying to catch for five years. He took a picture of it, made sure it was doing well, and put it back. “That one fish can produce thousands of yearling,” he said. “It would be detrimental to the ecosystem if it was removed.” Sershen has fished for trout all over the United States, as well as Canada, New Zealand, and a little while he was in Costa Rica for school. His passion for trout fishing makes his position in Preston truly ideal, and he is excited to get the entire community involved. Sershen is involved in the Preston Chamber, and is working to rally more support for the Trout Center. He would also love to move his family to Preston one day.

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende One point, just one lousy point; it was the margin of loss for the Chatfield Gopher wrestling team in their only defeat of the season. It happened at the first big team tournament of the year (Farmington) on December 1st to (then AA 5th ranked, now 4th ranked) New Prague 32-31. Ever since that, Joel Viss’ Gophers have been lights out in duals (and individual tournaments). They entered their triangular with Zumbrota-Mazeppa and Lake City boasting a #7 ranking in Class A and seven ranked wrestlers. They dispatched with the Tigers without too much fuss, building a 26-0 lead, prevailing 44-23. Then it was Z-M, the defending section champion who, as a 5-seed, upset the topseeded Gophers last season. Chatfield built a 15-6 lead, courtesy of a TF from Jared Goldsmith (#7 at 106), a pin from Hank Friederichs (#5 at 120), and an 18-7 MD from A.J. Riley (#4 at 126). Then things got competitive. At 132, Tye Bentz and Devin Manzy wrestled to OT. Manzy got a takedown to secure the 9-7-decision for Z-M. The Gophers then ran off three straight big decision wins. Harvey Friederichs (#3 at 132) downed Mitchell Watkins (#6) at 138, getting a single-leg takedown in the third for the 3-1 victory. Alex Haffner (#5 at 138) led 4-1 (one period), 8-5 (two periods), and 11-7 to beat Cody Heitman (#5) at 145. Ryan Meeker (#9 at 145) capped the run at 152, cinching the match with a 3rd period throw (6-3 win). It gave the Gophers a 24-9 lead.
Two Cougar pins later, and the team score was ever so close at 24-21. But then Cody Bly (182) won a 6-1 decision. Justin Viss (#8 at 195) followed with a pin. At that point (leading 33-21), and having won eight of 12 matches (tie-breaker), Chatfield had the dual wrapped up. However, Jacob Bleess (220) left no doubt with a 6-4 win. Via a final of 36-27, Chatfield extracted a little revenge on Z-M, and secured the #1 seed in the Section 1A team-wrestling meet. They moved their dual record to 27-1. Gophers Unfazed It was sort of crazy. In the second half of the Chatfield-Kingsland boy’s basketball battle, a pair of Knights went off. Junior Jordan Meskill was quick-triggered and keen-eyed from behind the 3-point line. The 5’11” guard hit all five three-pointers he fired up, which accounted for all 15 of his points. Freshmen teammate Quinn Larson was a shot-taker and shot-maker. The 6’0” guard also scored 15 points in the second stanza. With the way those two played, and the way the Knights shot in the second 18-minutes (15-27 total FG’s, 7-10 from distance), one would’ve logically guessed they more than whittled into the Gophers 27-15 halftime lead. To the contrary, the explosion barely fazed Chatfield. The Gophers shot just as well (1729 total, 3-6 from deep). The most Kingsland chipped into Chat’s 12-point halftime lead was getting it down to nine. The Gophers main offensive focal point was 6’3” forward Jayme LaPlante. LaPlante was gamehigh with 19 points (on 9-12

FG’s). However, Chatfield got four players into double figures. Jake Neis had 13 and 9 rebounds. His backcourt mate Reid Danielson had 12 points, 5 steals, and a badly missed dunk attempt (he gets an A for his all-out effort). Mitch Irish added 10 points and 9 rebounds. The Gophers completed the season sweep of Kingsland with a 66-55 victory. Larson led Kingsland with 18. Meskill had his 15. Marshall Oeltjen added 10 points and 9 rebounds. Chatfield began the game up 8-2 and never trailed. The Knights scored 40 points and the Gophers 39 in the second half. Wire to Wire It’s safe to say the Chatfield girls are better than Kingsland this season. In two games, the Gophers trailed for exactly zero minutes. The first meeting had Chatfield jump out to 9-0 and 25-8 leads before coasting to a 65-40 win. Meeting two wasn’t so dominating. Behind a trio of three’s in the opening minutes, the home Gophers jumped out 11-2. Mostly at the FT line, the Knights crawled back into it (down 14-9). At the half, Chatfield was up 24-13. That double-digit lead remained for the duration. Via a final of 52-34, Chatfield completed the two-game wire-to-wire sweep of the Knights. Defense and balance was the blueprint. The Knights shot under 20% for the game, and, like the first meeting, Kingsland leading scorer Cheyenne Losey (averaging 14 per) was held to just 7 points (she did have 15 rebounds). Offensively, seven of the eight Gophers to score had multiple FG’s. Sophomore PG Kirsten Keefe had a game-high 11 including three 3-pointers. She added 7 rebounds and 5 assists. MaKenzie Miller also reached double-figures with 10 (and was unofficially credited with 14 rebounds). Junior forward Marissa Bornholdt led the Knights with 10. Kingsland did play minus the services of senior G/F Jessi Kaster. The three-point shot was also critical in the game. Chatfield made 7 of 19. Kingsland was just 3 of 20. > For more, go the www.fillmorecountyjournal.com and click on the sports tab. BBB 02-04 •#10 in A R-P 71, M-C 44 (R-P: Charlie Krambeer 17 pts (5 of 7 three’s).

I’m also thrilled about sharing my latest releases, The Ice Carousel, Knight of the Amulet, and ‘Lira & Gavril’ which is my short story in Love in the Land of Lakes.

Rhonda Brutt is an author of young adult paranormal romance books. She writes in her blog, “I enjoy lots of different topics and subjects, even if they’re not writing related. Not much is off limits for me, so you’ve been warned! Life is just too short not to have a little fun!” She lives in Minneapolis. Rosemary Heim is a romance writer who is a native of St Charles, Minn. She now lives in the Twin Cities region and has been published by Harlequin Intrigue series.

History which is specifically listed in the statute. The opinion noted The vision of a state trail from that a Preston to Ostrander seg- Preston to Forestville was born ment of the Blufflands Trail sys- nearly twenty years ago with the tem would be a trail authorized Joint Powers Board. By 2003, under statute 85.015 subd.7(b). agreements were obtained to However, since this argument secure most of the property was not considered at the dis- for the trail from seventeen of trict court, the appellate court the nineteen landowners along would not consider it for the the planned trail. However, the properties owned by the first time on appeal. The district court also cited John Snyder and Vernon Ristau Minnesota Stat. 86A.05, subd. families had not been acquired.
After unsuccessful efforts over many years to purchase the last two properties, the city of Preston exercised their power of eminent domain to acquire 5.99 acres that they deemed to be necessary to construct the trail section on March 2, 2009. The landowner families commenced a lawsuit against the DNR and the city of Preston in October of 2009. In the spring of 2012, district court Judge Jeffrey Thompson determined that the trail was authorized by the legislature and that Preston’s exercise of its power of eminent domain was “proper under both Minnesota constitutional and statutory provisions.” Later in 2012 this decision was appealed to the court of appeals. Attorney Comments Larry Peterson, Ristau and Snyder attorney, was gratified that the court of appeals finally looked at the legal argument that they have been making for years. That being, the proposed
trail was not authorized by the state legislature. He insisted the trail must first be authorized by the state legislature before the DNR or the city can propose it for development. Peterson lists a couple of options under consideration going forward: “(1)ask the Supreme Court to reject the Court of Appeals Remand to the trial court; or (2)wait and see what the trial court decides on how it will respond to the directives from the Court of Appeals.” He maintains there is nothing left to “decide or interpret.” David Joerg, attorney for the city of Preston, responded that the city of Preston’s position is that there is the authority to build a trail to Ostrander. A trail from Preston to Ostrander would include Forestville State Park. Ostrander is specifically named in the state statute section 85.015 subd. 7. Joerg reaffirmed the city’s position that under current state law the city has the power to exercise emi-
nent domain to acquire property that lies outside of the city limits. Joerg suggests with the remand to District Court the case will possibly continue first in District Court and then to the Court of Appeals. The case rests on the principle of authorization. He believes there is a good chance to turn it around. Other Comments John Snyder said he wished the appellate decision had been “black and white.” He felt it was a good win, but it is not done. Craig Blommer, Minnesota DNR Parks and Trails Supervisor, said the DNR had no comment on the court of appeals decision. He repeated their position that there is “no other practical way to make the connection to Forestville State Park.” The DNR efforts are at this time to extend the trail from Preston to Carimona, which will be built to conform with the American with Disabilities Act standards.
How is my community unique?
great Niagara Cave as we know it today. Those two events are unique in themselves. Harmony is also very popular because of its large Amish community. The Amish community has brought in many tourists to southeastern Minnesota throughout the years. The town of Harmony offers Amish tours that roam the countryside to see their unique lifestyle. The Amish bring in their goods into town on Saturday’s for a market where they sell their very delicious goods. The Amish also provide excellent service within the community. They provide carpentry work, hoof trimming, and almost everything in between. Last but not least, the Amish keep all of their shopping local, because they have to. When you come to Harmony to get groceries or stop into Kingsley’s Mercantile you are almost guaranteed to see at least one Amish buggy trekking through town. If you do stop at the grocery store, you will see a special spot just for them to park their horse and buggy. I don’t know about you but I find that very
special about our community. Another special part of Harmony is its famous movie theater, the Jem Theatre. It is only one of the few small family owned and operated theaters in the state of Minnesota. The prices are low, at $5 a ticket, and the service is simply amazing. This Harmony feature is one of its finest. Lastly, Hobo Park is a unique structure on the west side of town. It consists of six hobo sculptures that have been carved by Slim’s Woodshed. It itself is very unique. I find that the community that surrounds me is very special. It has given me opportunities with school and businesses
along with the people I meet. My community is unique in many ways that I described, however I feel that without my community I couldn’t be where I am today. It has blessed me with the things that I’ve wanted, plus more and that is why I believe my community is unique. Cody Hendrickson is the 20122013 winner of the Fillmore County Journal scholarship.
By Cody Hendrickson My community is unique in many ways. Harmony is a place of many things to do. It has an elegant public golf course, a top ten cave in the United States, and don’t forget its ever so popular Amish community that thousands of visitors come Cody visit every Hendrickson year. Harmony may only be a town of just
over 1,000 residents, but it has its own character in many more ways than one. First of all, the name “Harmony” came about at a town hall meeting when everyone was arguing and somebody stepped in and said, “Let us be in Harmony,” and that’s how it came about. I personally think that it is unique in its own way. Also, Niagara Cave was discovered when a farmer lost three pigs and went searching for them. He found them at the bottom of a hole, which was then found to be the

Food For Life By Jade Sexton
Spring is coming It’s February, and I feel like I am slowly coming out of the winter hole I have been in. Spring arriving feels like waking up slowly, and I never realize how asleep I was until it’s here. In winter we do the basic things; we go into automatic pilot. We do the minimum required to get through the day. I am not alone in being lazy in the winter. After working all day during these cold months, it’s hard to want to do anything at night but sit under a blanket and watch TV. But I feel more energy coming on. I have been getting more things done around the house
that have been neglected, more organizing and major cleaning that usually gets put aside. I notice that it’s still light out at 5 p.m. and a giddy energy fills me. It’s a shifting, a change in the air, more sunlight to soak in, more life. When warmer weather comes, I will feel like cleaning with the windows open and music playing (always music, I can’t do anything without music playing), and the kids and I will walk on the trail again and see wildlife and birds. I will feel more like getting together with friends and socializing instead of hiding out in my living room. It’s amazing what the sunlight
Monday, February 18, 2013
does for us. Sunlight increases our vitamin D levels, and Vitamin D is hard to get. There are foods that are fortified with it, but sunlight is the best place. In this part of the world, that means most of us are deficient. I take a supplement because my levels are pretty low. Lack of Vitamin D can cause depression, carbohydrate cravings, and fatigue. It also affects your immune system, which is why many people think we tend to get sick more often in the winter. I don’t mind any snow or cold that comes now, because I know if will be over soon. Time flies by faster than I would like it to, so I try not to eagerly long for the future and just enjoy the present. It will come soon enough. It’s also hard not to binge on lots of carbs and sugar this time of year. Oh, who am I kidding? Any time of year really.

But while it’s hard to control cravings, we need to remember and recognize just how good our bodies feel when we fuel them with clean, whole nutritious foods, compared to how sluggish and gross we feel after eating a great big brownie. It’s just that it tastes so good… This is a recipe for cookies, and there is sugar, but it is better for you than a brownie or cake, and definitely cleaner than processed store-bought cookies. They are filled with some of the most wonderful things, all

thrown together into one rich cookie that will satisfy your carb cravings. My usual disclaimer: just don’t eat all of them. Take them to work and share them. Eat a couple, and then let the kids have at them. But take the time to enjoy the goodness. I found this recipe online a long time ago, and I can’t remember where. It’s now on a stained and worn-our recipe card in my kitchen.

Journal Writing Project
College basketball and sleep By Mike Walsh As I sit here thinking about a topic to write about, the only topic that continues to surface in my head is college basketball. By the way, I should let everyone know that is it Wednesday at lunchtime, and yes I am just beginning to write my article Mike Walsh that is due Wednesday night. I’m pretty sure if there were an award for “someone who procrastinates the most,” it would indeed be me. It doesn’t matter if it is just a daily assignment or a huge project, I find myself waiting until the last possible moment to complete it. However, before I get too far off topic, I am going to attempt to inform everyone about the latest news to surface the college basketball world. I feel pretty confident doing this, as my weekday nights consist of watching college basketball and falling asleep to Sportscenter I believe this year’s field of teams is one of the more tightly compacted fields we have seen in a few years. By this I mean the top teams in college basketball are all fairly equal and not one team stands above
and beyond the others. However, this makes college basketball that much more exciting to watch, knowing there is a chance for a monumental upset every single night. First and foremost, Duke is currently ranked #2 in the latest rankings. They still struggle on the road as they are without a senior leader, Ryan Kelly. Kelly is still out indefinitely with a leg injury, but Duke remains optimistic he will return for the ACC tournament. It has been a tough year for any team who has grabbed the top spot in the polls. Losing in the near future has almost become a certainty for those top ranked teams. The Kansas Jayhawks, who once made their way to the top, lost three consecutive games in a row. They just ended the skid with a big win versus their archrival Kansas St. The Michigan Wolverines found themselves atop the polls a few weeks ago, but that didn’t last long as they lost to Indiana just a short time later. They followed that up with a win, but recently just got walloped by Michigan State. The Spartans won a very lopsided game, 75-52. Perhaps one of the more intriguing stories yet has been the impressive play of the Miami Hurricanes. Miami went from being unranked last
month to currently ranked #3 in the latest ranking. The Hurricanes are 11-0 in ACC conference play and have beaten both Duke and North Carolina very impressively. Yes, I will admit Miami blew Duke right out of the gym when the two met up a few weeks ago. It was one of the worst performances I have ever seen from a Duke team, however, all the credit goes to the Hurricanes for their stellar play. Unfortunately, Duke has also had their woes when finding themselves atop the polls. North Carolina State, who has consistently been ranked in the top 25, knocked them off when Duke was #1. Like I said earlier, Duke’s other loss came to Miami who absolutely embarrassed us. The top five ranked teams in college basketball read as the following: #1 Indiana, #2 Duke, #3 Miami, #4 Michigan, and rounding out the top five is the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Just to note, these rankings are subject to change. With all these teams shining in many cases, but having a few hiccups here and there, should make March Madness that much more interesting. By the way, BREAKING NEWS, Duke has just knocked off North Carolina. Wow, isn’t that a surprise… Mike Walsh is a senior at Fillmore Central High School. He is one of 8 area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its fourteenth year.

trip shifts smoothly from the present to Don’s memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood.

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 household each week.
Spring Valley SCDP preliminary proposal approved By Gary Peterson The Spring Valley City Council met on Monday night and took up several issues. Michelle Vrieze appeared before the council and discussed the Small Cities Block grant. She said that the city should know in June if the proposal of $539,750 is approved. According to Vrieze 15 pieces of commercial property will be eligible along with 14 rental properties. A resolution was approved by the Council authorizing a small cities development program full application. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development has approved the City of Spring Valley’s Small Cities Development Program preliminary proposal. The intended use of the SCDP funding will be to provide rental
housing rehabilitation for low to moderate income households and to provide commercial rehabilitation in the City of Spring Valley. The Resolution further states that the city will be the legal sponsor for the project contained in the application and that CEDA is hereby authorized to apply to the Department of Employment and Economic Development for funding of this project on behalf of the City of Spring Valley. In section 2 it states that the City has the legal authority to apply for financial assistance, and the institutional, managerial and financial capability to ensure adequate construction, operation, maintenance and replacement of the proposed project for its design life. The Council also passed a
Slum and Blight Resolution which determines areas characterized as meeting “Slum and Blight” definition for the Spring Valley 2013 SCDP Grant Application. The Council has assessed the area and determined that the total number of buildings in the target area is 44 commercial buildings. Twenty-five buildings, or 57 percent of the buildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial rehabilitation or clearance in accordance with Minnesota TIF Statute 469.174. The City Council is undertaking a program of community revitalization and redevelopment and applying to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development for funds to partially assist in such redevelopment.
The Almanzo 100 race is going to be held on May 18th and is requesting the Council close some streets to accommodate the runners. Highway 63 will be closed for the start between 7 and 9:30 a.m. Broadway will be closed from Main to Park with the last runners coming in at 10 p.m. The new system of paying garbage and recyclables has gotten the attention of at least one resident. Kenny Cleveland appeared before the Council and voiced his displeasure of being forced to pay Waste Management to haul his recyclables away. He said he has never paid those fees in the past and that Utilities didn’t charge him because he stated that he took his garbage and recyclables to Preston and he wasn’t going to pay it now. Mayor Struzyk stated

that he must have paid for these services in the past when they were attached to his utility bill but Cleveland claimed he never did. There appears no resolution with this matter. Finally the subject of enactment of the Chicken Ordinance was discussed by the Council. Deb Zimmer said that she had been at meetings where some cities have passed such an ordinance. Council members agreed that there would have to be some limitations on any ordinance so that things didn’t get out of control. There would need to be some consideration to the neighbors to see if they would object. There is the suggestion that a maximum number of chickens be put at 3 to 6 birds. One solution being discussed is the outlawing of roosters. The whole issue will be clucked about until a complete investigation is conducted. nation.

Houston, Minn., Owl Festival Winners span four continents Wildlife species know no borders, and this year’s award winners at the 11th Annual International Festival of Owls in Houston, Minn. reflect that global outlook. The top award winner in the World Owl Hall of Fame – the Champion of Owls -- is a zoologist from Bavaria. Two Special Achievement Award winners are a professor of vertebrate zoology from Argentina and an ornithologist in Taiwan. And the fourth award winner is a Kenyan owl
named Bundi. Wolfgang Scherzinger, the author of Die Eulen Europas, one of the best books written on European owls, was named Champion of Owls. Scherzinger served as zoologist in Germany’s Bavarian Forest National Park for three dozen years, during which he completed field research in birds and animals and helped reintroduce two owl species into the wild. Dr. Scherzinger will receive the award and deliver the keynote

address at the festival’s awards banquet March 2. Dr. Ana Trejo, professor of vertebrate zoology at the University of Comahue in Bariloche, Argentina, is one winner of a Special Achievement Award to be presented at the owl festival, March 1-3. She has researched the role that owls play in the control of hantavirus, a relatively new virus that can lead to death in humans. The virus is carried on rodent waste, and owls are significant predators of mice. Dr. Trejo also helped write a children’s TV nature program on owls. The second winner of a Special Achievement Award also has a link to educational TV. Dr. Lucia Liu Severinghaus produced a film titled Du-Du Wu: The Story of the Lanyu Scops Owl, which was picked up by the National Geographic Channel and shown throughout Asia and Taiwan. Dr. Severinghaus was a research fellow at Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan, studying owls from 1983 to 2010. Bundi, a Verreaux’s eagle owl, is the winner of the Hall of Fame’s 2013 “Lady Gray’l Award,” given to an owl that has made the world a better place for owls. Bundi helped a central Kenyan ornithologist dispel local people’s distrust of owls, thought to bring disaster. Since Bundi has since been released back into the wild, his award will be collected by Francis Atanasio Kithure, the teacher with whom he lived while being rehabilitated. Kithure was warned not to take the bird into his home in early 2010, but Bundi soon became a local favorite because he was so friendly, and because none of the predicted bad luck actually occurred. The Houston, Minn., owl festival – the only full-weekend, all-owl event in North America – celebrates the hatch day of Alice, a Great Horned Owl who works at the Houston Nature Center under the tutelage of Karla Bloem, center director and festival organizer. The festival includes such family-friendly activities as nest-box building, a photo contest, special photography sessions with owls, live-owl demonstrations, owl-themed shopping, face-painting and art projects for children. Some activities, such as photographic sessions with live owls, require advance registration. The World Owl Hall of Fame is sponsored by the International Festival of Owls, the Global Owl Project, Bob Kierlin and Mary Burrichter, the James and Judy Sloan Foundation, and Tanja Sova.

Rushford looks at ambulance service needs By Kirsten Zoellner While Rushford has a strong, viable ambulance service, other communities are not as fortunate and their need may prompt changes to the service’s coverage area. The state sets the coverage boundaries for municipal services and a lack of rural service in the area, as well as needs expressed by at least two other local municipalities, might expand Rushford’s demand. “We are blessed and happy with service we have,” noted Mayor Chris Hallum. “I think it’s best to be proactive about it rather than having it thrust on us.” Rushford’s ambulance service is comprised of 21 trained volunteer EMTs, as well as three additional first responders, and has long been a reliable presence in the community. They currently serve the communities of Rushford, Rushford Village, Peterson, and several outlying townships. One of the issues forcing this demand is the lack of volunteers in rural communities. “The requirements for being a volunteer just keep going up,” says Sarvi. “It’s a lot to ask. We’re blessed to have the strong group of people that we have.” Unfortunately for Rushford, it too has hit a bump in the road. Current service director Julie Scudiero has tendered her resignation of the position to pursue other employment. She has held the position since January 1, 2000. Scudiero’s began her new job February 4 with Mayo Health Systems, Franciscan Healthcare at the LaCrescent Clinic. In addition to the 20 hours a week there, Scudiero will continue to be employed at Good Shepherd Lutheran Services in Rushford. “I’d like to continue being a volunteer for the ambulance when time allows. After 34
years of being an EMT, it’s been a big part of who I am,” she enthuses. “I’d like to remind the community how very blessed they are to have the wonderfully dedicated ambulance and fire departments” she continues. “While other rural communities struggle, Rushford Community Ambulance volunteers will be there to care for the emergency needs of the community by caring for sick and injured people, teaching CPR/AED, First Aid classes, First Responder or EMT classes. All the EMTs and EMRs are highly trained volunteers who will carry on providing what is needed in the community.” Scudiero credits others within the community for both her success and the exemplary ambulance service. “My mentors have taught me so much. Dr. Peterson, our medical director, Anne Roberton and Bruce Hovland, along with Ron Mierau; because of their vision for our community we have a strong ambulance service. “I’d like to reassure everyone, the Mayor, city administrator and council that we will find a qualified ambulance director to continue what we all consider important by providing the best possible care to our patients and community. It’s been a pleasure being a part of this outstanding organization, the city of Rushford and its communities,” she adds. Per the city’s personnel policy, the position will be posted for interested and qualified city employees. Interested and qualified current ambulance service volunteers will also be considered. According to Sarvi, at least one member of the ambulance service has already expressed an interest in the 30-hour per week position.

County employees recognized By Karen Reisner The Fillmore County board at their February 12 meeting held their annual recognition of employees for their long-time service. Service is recognized on five year increments. Twentyfour employees were recognized for either five, ten or fifteen years of service. Two employees have served for twenty years including County Coordinator Karen Brown and at Highway Maintenance, Todd Kokinos. Six were recognized for twenty-five years of service including Lantha Stevens, Kim Richardson, and Joan Betsinger, all with Public Health. Also serv-
ing twenty-five years is Sandra Junge at Social Services, Kristi Ruesink at Extension, and Michael Chiglo at Highway Maintenance. Kandace Johnson with the Auditor/Treasurer department was honored for her thirty years of service. Each year the county gives a Safety Award. This honor went to Eric Paulson, Building Maintenance.

a Conditional Use Permit on behalf of Fillmore County which needs to give its consent as the owner of the property. Zoning Administer Chris Graves noted there will be a public hearing on March 28. The property is currently zoned Ag except for a small portion which lies within the city limits of Preston. A motion was approved to authorize the CUP and to pay the fee. Preston City Administrator Joe Hoffman had requested that the small parcel of land within the city limits of Preston be rezoned. A motion was approved to rezone the land from Industrial to R-1 and to pay the $200 fee to the city of Preston. Commissioner Chuck Amunrud added this is another step in the process toward building the cemetery. Other Business In Brief •Lantha Stevens, Public Health, recommended that the position held by Tina Peters, PHN, temporarily be decreased to .8 from full time for the months February through May. Peters is studying for her Master’s Degree in Public Health. She needs the one day per week free to complete field experience in Ramsey County. Temporarily, some of her duties will be transferred to other staff. Peters has been with the county for 15 years. Stevens maintained the county will benefit from her additional experience at no cost to the county. It is expected that Peters will be returned to full time in May.
The FCJ reaches over 12,000 household each week. •There was some discussion on silica sand mines and the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) process in Winona County. An EAW is a six-page questionnaire and is used as a screening tool to determine if a more comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is necessary. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the Minnesota Department of Health have suggested a more comprehensive study be completed for two proposed mines in Winona County. An EIS is much more detailed and expensive. The concern is the concentration of the proposed mines in Winona County, the proposed processing plant near St. Charles, and proposed mines near the
Winona County line in Fillmore County. At this time there are a total of four applications in process for Industrial Mines in Fillmore County. Commissioner Duane Bakke said it is up to us to make sure an EAW is complete. There is a 30-day comment period to express concerns and make comments. •Bakke said the Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC) is in the process of getting the Magic Act reintroduced in the state houses. •A resolution was adopted to support the grant application for the Bluff Valley Riders Snowmobile Club. The grant would be used for the installation of a snowmobile bridge over Canfield Creek in Forestville State Park.

Harmony to purchase new ambulance By Jade Sexton It was approved for the Harmony Ambulance service to go ahead with plans to purchase a new ambluance. Larry Nolan spoke to the council at their meeting on February 12. According to Nolan, the current ambulance is a 2010 with 45,000 miles. Since they only have one ambulance, they had decided they should trade it in every 3-4 years. “If we had two I wouldn’t even worry about it,” he said. City Administrator Jerome Illg said the value of the current ambulance will go down a lot after the five-year mark. Nolan said they are considering getting a four-wheel drive this time, since they often have to go to rural areas in the winter and sometimes it can be difficult. They will look into several options and get back to the council. After an ambulance is purchased, the turnaround time to get it and have it ready for service will be at least six months. 1st Ave Street Project Illg updated the council on the 1st Avenue street project possibly coming up this summer. He has spoken with the county engineer about what assistance the county will provide on the project. Since the county is planning to do a full-depth reclaim and repave to that road from Center Street to 3rd Street, it is a perfect time for the city to do the work needed underneath the road with storm sewer, and the county would like to get it done this year. At the last meeting, it was understood that after the county did this project, they were planning on turning over the road
to the city in ten years. Illg explained there was a misunderstanding, and now the turnaround time is 25 years. Illg said they do not plan to turn the road back to the city. “They may look to us for some sort of maintenance,” said Illg. Illg said he would like to send notices out to residents so they can have a meeting to discuss it in March, or possibly April. He said the extent to which they repair and reconstruct the curb sections and sidewalks will depend on how much the county contributes. Right now, the county’s policy is they do not share the cost for sidewalk, curb and gutter, or storm sewer. When asked if he had talked to the school yet, Illg replied he had spoken with Superintendent Richard Keith. The plan right now is to only replace the sidewalk on the school side of the road. Skid loader City employee Terry Bigalk spoke to the council about purchasing a skid loader. Right now the city uses a Cub Cadet with a blower on the front to remove snow from the sidewalks from Heritage Grove all the way down to the nursing home, as well as the Community Center, the Visitor’s Center, and the wastewater treatment plant. According to Bigalk, the blower is not the best fit and he spends a lot of time adjusting it while working with it. He and city maintenance employee Chris Johnson discussed getting a skid loader to use instead, and found the used ones are almost as much money as the new ones. They got three bids; one
from Hammel Equipment in Harmony, one from Bobcat in Rochester, and one from Preston Equipment. Bigalk explained the Hammel bid included trading in the blower. The council felt they should stay local, and it was approved to purchase a skidloader from Hammel Equipment for $27,500, which includes the cost of a new blower. The Cub Cadet will still be used by city employees for watering plants and other activities. The money for the skid loader will be taken from the tractor fund, which currently has $46,000 in it. Illg said they add $7,500 to the tractor budget each year. Illg said it is hoped that the skid loader will also prolong the life of the tractor, which shouldn’t have to be replaced for a while yet. EDA Council member Debbie Swenson said Heritage Grove still has one opening in Independent and two openings in Assisted Living. She also mentioned that the Harmony Chamber received a $4,000 grant from Explore Minnesota. There was a total of $379,000 used for projects with the Commercial Rehab Loan, which has been a very successful program. Illg mentioned the possibility of a joint meeting with the city council, the EDA, and possibly the Planning and Zoning Commission as well. Other Business Lynn Mensink informed the council that there will be a free concert at the Jem Theatre on Saturday, February 26. Cedric Watson will be playing, and it is sponsored by the Harmony Arts Board, the Harmony Public Library, and Mayo Clinic.
Fillmore County appoints new members to the Extension Committee Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educator for Fillmore/Houston Counties More than 1,000 engaged Minnesotans serve on 87 County Extension Committees, regional and program advisory committees, and Extension’s Statewide Citizen’s Advisory Committee. The Fillmore County CommissionJerrold Tesmer ers recently appointed Don Bergey as a citizen representative to the Fillmore County Extension Committee. They also appointed Jake Goeldi as a youth representative. New members are appointed by the county board and usually serve two three-year terms. The purpose of the Extension Committee is to provide feedback and perspective to Extension by serving as the eyes and ears of Extension’s diverse clientele in the county. The committee is comprised of two county commissioners, the county auditor and six county citizens that bring expertise to strengthen our connections and grow our programs in the county. Others serving on the Fillmore County Extension Committee include: citizen representatives, Keith Brown, Scott Winslow, Rodney Coe, Doris Peterson, and Judy Frank. Melinda Woods serves as a youth representative, while Duane Bakke and Tom Kaase are the County Commissioners with Shirl Boelter, Auditor. “Extension Committee members are leaders in their communities and provide an important perspec-
tive to Extension and the University,” said Regional Director, LuAnn Hiniker. “They assist Extension in fulfilling its mission of connecting local issues and needs with University resources.” University of Minnesota Extension is a 100-year-old partnership between the university and federal, state and county governments to provide scientific knowledge and expertise to the public. Through Extension, the University of Minnesota “extends” its resources to address critical public issues in priority areas, including food and agriculture, communities, environment, youth and families.

Feedlot Korner Composting Animal Mortalities is a great way to dispose of dead animals, but only if done correctly. On a lot of feedlot sites I have noticed that composting has become common, and I have also noticed that a lot of the composting is done incorrectly. The main problem is not covering the compost pile with enough carbon sources meaning hay, cornstalks, saw dust, etc… which can lead to varmints because without enough cover the pile can give off an odor and not generate enough heat to make it work. For more information on composting of animal carcasses, visit the web site listed. www.mda.state.mn.us/news/publications/animals/compostguide.pdf
