The February 2 meeting of the Fillmore County board was shortened due to the winter storm.

Rep. Gregg Davids and Senator Jeremy Miller were scheduled to meet with the board to hear the county’s legislative priorities for the upcoming session. This portion of the meeting was canceled due to the storm. The legislators are now scheduled to come before the board on February 23 at 10 a.m.

Due to the limited time, the board is expected to have with the legislators, board members will have to concentrate on those priorities they feel are the most pressing. Commissioner Duane Bakke said for him the most important

issues are County Program Aid (CPA) and Highway Funding.

Fillmore County and the Association of Minnesota Counties maintain that CPA needs to be more stable, with a funding floor, a cap of 5% on losses from the previous year, and an increase in the total pot of money available for county aid.

Fillmore County supports long term sustainable funding streams for transportation, which may include gas taxes linked to inflation, motor registration fees, motor vehicle sales taxes, and gross receipts on transportation fuels.

Cost estimates for Dairy and Farm reuse

By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Preston city council members dicussed funding sources to pay expenses associated with the potential purchase and renovation of the Dairy and Farm property at their February 1 meeting. Plans are being made to renovate the 50- by 90-foot building to house Tourism, Preston Historical Society, and the National Trout Center.

The purchase price for all of

the property remains at $100,000 which could be paid with 10 equal annual payments. A purchase agreement will not be entered into until after possible environmental issues are resolved.

Other structures on the property are not included in the renovation plans at this time. If the Dairy and Farm property is purchased, it will be owned by the city.

City administrator Joe Hoffman reported that construction costs for the building’s renovation See DAIRY & FARM Page 6 

“What we do for our youth is important. We need to nurture character, service and dedication,” offered Barnett.

Dale Barnett has served at every level of the American Legion, starting with Post 105 in Fayetteville, Ga. all the way up to the level of Department (State) Commander of Georgia from 2007 to 2008.

Now serving five months on the job as the National Commander, Barnett offered, “My motto this year is duty, honor and country. We have problems. We have many problems in this country. But, it’s still the greatest country on Earth.”

“We, as veterans, know that freedom isn’t free.”

Monday, February 8, 2016

He also noted that the year 2019 will be the 100th year anniversary for the American Legion organization, and they’re focusing tremendously on historic preservation of photos and stories from veterans.

Upon the conclusion of his speech, gifts were presented to the National Commander Dale Barnett from local American Legion posts.

Chaplain Ron Scheevel closed with a prayer.

Post-speech interview Barnett shared that he spends most of his time talking about Veteran Affairs issues, electronic medical records, and the timeliness of claims.

Besides speaking before Congress on issues facing veterans, he does his best to visit five or six American Legion posts per day. He also visits mili-

tary units, VA hospitals, while also dedicating much of his energy on increasing membership. Right now, the American Legion has over 2.2 million members, and they are doing their best to involve the next generation of veterans.

While Barnett cited success stories, he also said that they struggle to gain membership in larger cities such as Atlanta, while continually increasing membership in rural communities like Preston, Minn.

During his first five months on the job, working with a staff of 293 employees at the American Legion National Headquarters, he has learned that while he wants to make positive change there are bureaucratic agencies preventing that change -- which he finds to be very frustrating.

National Commander of the American Legion Dale Barnett (left) was presented with a gift of the recently released hardcover book titled Boots & Badges: Honoring Fillmore County Veterans

by Preston American Legion Post #166 Commander Donald Brockway (right). Both the Project Coordinator and Creative Director of the book dedicated to over 3,400 Fillmore County Veterans, Ellen Whalen and Jana Olson, respectively, were acknowledged for their work on the book as it was presented to National Commander Dale Barnett. State of Minnesota American Legion Commander Jim Kellogg was also presented with a book from Commander Donald Brockway.

“I consider it a capstone of a very rewarding life to have this opportunity,” offered Barnett.

He continued, “There’s not much talk in the presidential campaign about national defense and military cutbacks, and there should be.”

Toward the end of the interview, he shared the four pillars of the American Legion: 1) National defense, 2) American-

ism, 3) Children and youth, and 4) Veterans affairs and rehabilitation.

During his presentations, he wants to emphasize a message of service, “Our veterans have value, and they can still serve America.” He even suggested that non-legion members are welcome to become involved in what the American Legion has to offer.

R-P rejects petition for school revote

By Kirsten Zoellner The regular meeting of the Rushford-Peterson School Board, January 25, was packed with more than 50 district residents eager to see the result of a recent petition put forward. The petition, received by the district January 21, was signed by 140 voters registered in the last election, a 5% representation as is required in such a petition. It sought to halt all construction of a new $38.1 million early childhood through grade 12 school facility in Rushford, which narrowly passed in a referendum vote in December 2013 (1,112 votes to 1,023). The basis of the petition claim is that the district approved general obligation bonds using false information regarding damages from the 2007 flood and is therefore not eligible for state debt equalization aid. The petition also states that the current district facilities are adequately serving the needs of the district students.

A portion of the meeting was open to public comment. Beth Stanford, a former school board director, stated concern with the petition and the example of sportsmanship which it’s setting.

Citing the steps taken by the previous board to get to the referendum, Stanford stated a vote on the best approach was taken and passed in referendum. “People need to let this move on.”

Robin Honken, a ‘Vote Yes’ campaign committee member, also spoke at the meeting and read a statement which was later released in several publications as a letter to the editor. “It’s unfortunate that we’re still here having to defend Mr. Ehler,” she began.

“I’m speaking on behalf of hundreds of school supporters.”

Honken also touched on the process it took to get the vote to the point of a referendum, citing the work of the Facilties Task Force, as well as two other previous referendums, which she acknowledged were for completely different plans and were voted down. “The school board approved a new plan put forth by a community task force. I want to emphasize the importance of why we’re here today.” Honken then turned comment over to fellow ‘Vote Yes’ member Andy Prinsen.

“The R-P Concerned Citizen Group continues to throw these gifts away. All the audits and digging by the group and they’ve come up with nothing. I repeat, nothing,” he began. “We ask that the board stop the petition to hold a special election and revote.

We’re not sure what’s driving the R-P Concerned Citizens Group, but it seems their goal continues to be to instill fear and doubt. To get what they want, there will be substantial additional costs to the district. Ironically, the group says it’s looking out for taxpayers, but there’s no one working harder than them to pass on more costs to the taxpayers. Is this really in the best interest of our taxpayers or their children?”

Board Director Taylor Peterson voiced concern for clarification of a memorandum from the city’s legal representation regarding the legal authority of the board. “I broke it down, piece by piece. The catch is, if the vote fails or a judge finds something, that it’s not something the voters are authorized to pass judgement on. It’s non-binding. The state mandates that we put it to a ballot and a court of law will decide if the issue is one the voters are authorized to pass judgement on,” said Peterson. “The statute says the board doesn’t have any authority on whether or not to put to a ballot. We’re mandated to put it to a ballot.”

Board Chairman John Linder stated he didn’t follow that logic and that the district’s legal representation indicated the school board is not able to pass a petition on to voters. “Judges aren’t in a position to determine whether or not districts pass referendums,” he added. “Even if we did vote on it, and by some unknown miracle voters decided they wanted to cancel the construction; what do you think is going to pay for all that’s already been done, millions of dollars’ worth? Bulking on a bond we could spend millions on damages and end up with nothing See REVOTE Page 11 

C ommentary Mrs. Neyenhuis

By Dan Terbeest Once again Mrs. Nyenhuis has shown us her blind loyalty to the current president has rendered her oblivious to the facts. She exhibits loyalty to a leader that you only see in followers of Nazism or ISIS. How someone can be so loyal to a presiDan Terbeest dent who has failed on so many levels is beyond comprehension, but that kind of loyalty requires little thought or intelligence. Is Mrs. Nyenhuis miss-informed or deliberately lying? There were no sources or statistics cited to back up her claims, she just pulled them out of thin air. No uber-liberal is in any position to wag their finger at anyone about Republicans dismissing laws they don’t like. I’m not saying Republicans don’t do it, but her implication that it is only Republicans that do it is a blatant lie. What about “sanctuary” cities? What about executive orders designed to side-step congress? What about using personal email for government business?

What about Rahm Emmanuelle hiding evidence of crooked cops for over a year? All glaring examples of Democrats dismissing laws

they don’t like.

As far as gun manufacturers being responsible for gun violence, why not knife manufacturers? Rope manufacturers? How about baseball bats? Cars have been used to run down people, let’s make GM responsible! Hammers have been used as murder weapons, make Stanley pay up!

Where do you draw the line?

Suppose somebody died of a heart attack in Lanesboro, obesity was a factor in this person’s death, and they were a regular customer of the White Front Café. Using the logic (or lack of) making the gun manufacturer liable, that would make the owners of the White Front responsible in part for this man’s death. Makes perfect sense doesn’t it! If you are angry about guns it would be wise to put your energy, as far as punishment goes, into the person pulling the trigger, not making the trigger. Most reasonable people will understand that. You cannot pick and choose industries you don’t like to apply additional liability to. Just because you don’t like an industry doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Maybe her judgment is bad?

Mrs. Neyenhuis, you have talked before about the voters not giving Obama a Democratic congress to work with on many occasions. You have even opined about what the world would be like if Al Gore had been President. You need to deal with reality. The all lost! You make up

excuses about the Democrats not showing up to vote as if it somehow de-legitimizes the election.

You must have not noticed what happened when he had a Democratic majority. If you would look at the world beyond your book club you would see IT WAS A DISASTER! He accumulated more debt than all presidents before him combined, and we have NOTHING to show for it! Our allies don’t trust us and our adversaries laugh at us. That is why he lost his majority in a bigger fashion than any other president. Everyone knows this but you. Keep on blaming your base and making excuses, it just makes you look petty, small, thin skinned, uninformed, and like a sore loser.

I heard a very intelligent person say that the difference between liberals and conservatives is conservatives see the world as right and left, two schools of thought, how to arrive at decisions. You see the world as right (liberals) and wrong (conservatives). This view is wrong. I don’t need to explain it, it speaks for itself. Think about it, if you are capable of unbiased thought, which is questionable, you will see your view is flawed.

I told myself your commentaries were not worth my time anymore, but when you project false ideology onto people you don’t agree with, while totally falsifying Democratic actions, I felt compelled to speak up.

Highway 52 fatal accident January 28 On January 28, 2016 at approximately 8:40 p.m., the Fillmore County Emergency Dispatch Center, 911, received calls of a personal injury accident on Highway 52, north of Fountain near 300th Street, north of an area commonly referred to as Nelson Hill. Fillmore County Deputies, Chatfield Police, Preston Police, and the Minnesota Editorial Cartoon

State Patrol responded. Fountain Fire & Rescue, Chatfield Fire & Rescue, Chatfield Ambulance, and Preston Ambulance all responded to the scene. Officers and EMS personnel found the scene of a two vehicle accident.

A southbound vehicle, driven by a 16-year-old female Canton resident, and a northbound vehicle, driven by an Ashland,

Ill. female resident, collided.

The 16-year-old Canton resident was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Illinois resident was flown by Med Link Air to St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester.

The Illinois resident’s condition was unknown at the time of this report. The accident is currently being investigated by the Minnesota State Patrol.

Thoughts on Valentine’s Day

By Yvonne Nyenhuis “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!”

We are fast approaching Valentine’s Day. It’s time to reflect on what it means to Yvonne be in love.

Nyenhuis What draws two people together and what causes them to remain together.

(Or not!)

I find in my relationship with my husband, we come together on values but are opposite in temperament. We share a sense of adventure. Glenn joined the Naval Air Force when he was 18. He flew as a radar operator during the Cold War with Russia. He was stationed in Hawaii, where he married my cousin, his first wife, threw luaus, and learned to dance the hula.

Meanwhile, I packed a suitcase and went to Vero Beach, Fla., arriving with thirteen dollars in my pocket and no job. I waitressed, then transitioned to employment painting “murals”.

After three years, I returned to Pennsylvania, where I lived in Philadelphia in a town house and designed embroidery for a living.

At this time, Glenn came to Huntingdon Valley, Penn., to work for his father-in-law who had an engineering and surveying business. Glenn joined my circle of friends and for a year was my best “buddy”. In a moment of clarity we realized we were “in love”. In the coming months we ironed out the difficulties. Glenn’s father-in-law became his uncle and his uncle became his father-in-law!

One quality that I dearly love about my husband, he truly cares for others, regardless of ethnicity,

Online Reader Poll Results

race, gender, rich or poor, intellectual or not, artist or mechanic, his only requirement is honesty and a sense of humor. Once you are his friend, he will go out of his way to please you.

Another trait I admire: he has never allowed his work to define who he is, whether he was a general manager of a sewer and water company with a secretary and carrying a brief case or working in a factory. He considers all work noble. He does set out to be better than anyone else at whatever job he is doing.

Which brings to light another trait. He is competitive. While he competes with others, he is hardest on himself, never satisfied with his own performance.

He cares about “being right” and tends to get hung up on details.

(The twist tab on a loaf of bread should be turned twice to ensure freshness!) I guess you know, I am not competitive, I don’t need to be right, and I have failed miserably over the years in my lack of attention to details!

In a married couple there is usually one who sees the “cup as half full”. The other sees the “cup as half empty”. I get up in the morning exhilarated by the the bright sunshine and blue sky. My husband frowns and observes that a snow storm is predicted for later in the day.

Of course the great thing about being “in love” is being accepted for yourself in spite of your faults and knowing there is someone who has your back in adversity. Glenn was my hero when we met and he is still my hero after 51 years of being married!

Snow, it’s what brings us together

By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com I know I am a bit of weirdo for saying this, but I actually enjoy shoveling and moving snow with our snowblower.

For starters, during the winter Jason Sethre months, we barely ever see our neighbors.

Everyone routinely gets home from work and heads indoors.

And, that’s pretty much where we stay until spring. So, that 10 inches of snow gets us outside to see our neighbors for somewhat of a communal ritual.

And, another great thing about the process of snow removal is the exercise. As long as you don’t break your back, it is good for you, right?

But, it also gives each of us an opportunity to remove snow for others. At times, I have removed snow from driveways for my neighbors, and they have done the same for me.

What’s always fun, if you want to call it that, is when you finish your snow removal at home so that you can drive to work and continue snow removal there.

At the Journal office, the Wednesday morning following our winter whiteout, I arrived at the office much earlier than usual. I knew we would have a healthy helping of snow on the sidewalks leading up to our entrances. And, for whatever reason, our little corner in Preston seems be a prime location for snow accumulation.

Upon my arrival, I immediately found my favorite shovel (everyone has a favorite shovel, right?), and I began scooping in every direction. As I Letter about SAVE THE DATE: Caucus Night, March 1...

To the Editor, Tuesday, March 1, 2016, join with your neighbors to organize and support candidates of your choice for next November’s general election.

If you think you don’t know enough to make a choice, ask the candidates who phone for your vote about topics that are important to you. Talk to your neighbors, read newspaper interviews, and explore candidate web sites.

The Democratic-FarmerLabor Party of Minnesota invites you to caucus if you support the principles of the DFL party and will be at least 18 years old on Election Day, November 8, 2016.

In addition, we welcome and encourage participation at the youth level by residents who will be 16 or 17 years old on November 8.

We can do together what we cannot do alone.

was working north to south on the sidewalk, as I usually do because I’m a creature of habit, a pick-up truck pulled up. Two men got out, and one of them was Charles Fravel of Harmony. Mr. Fravel came to our office to put a “thank you” ad in the paper to recognize everyone who had helped him celebrate his 90th birthday.

Along with Mr. Fravel was another gentleman who immediately grabbed a shovel out of the back of his pick-up truck.

He walked over to the corner opposite of me, and said “I’ll meet you half way.” And, he began shoveling. I then stepped inside the Journal office with Mr. Fravel to get the paperwork written up for his thank you ad. After we got that figured out, we stepped back outside, and the man with the shovel had continued to work his way down the sidewalk. I later learned that this mystery snow shoveler was Charles’ nephew, Ray Curtis. Thank you, Ray, for generously assisting me with snow removal.

I have to say that we have some pretty incredible customers. This isn’t the first time this

has happened. A few weeks ago, we had three customers walk in the door, one after another, and I was covering the front counter while the rest of the team was working on ads and layout for the newspaper.

One of the gentleman who came in the office expressed concern about snow and ice piles down on the corner out in front of our office. I had just shoveled and salted that corner about one hour prior, but a snowplow had come by again since that time.

I told him I would take care of it, and thanked him for letting me know about the issue.

One of our customers from Lanesboro, Dennis Voeltz, who was heading out the door said, “I can take care of it. Where’s your salt and shovel?” I told him you don’t have to do that, and he insisted. So, while I was tending to customers, he shoveled out our corner and spread some salt around.

While I know that a lot of people don’t like the topic of snow removal, especially in such generous portions, it does seem to serve a purpose beyond precipitation.

In the Janurary 18, 2016 issue of the Fillmore County Journal, in a commentary titled “Immigration - what you don’t know”, by Stan Gudmundson, it was stated incorrectly in the fifth paragraph from the end that 8% of immigrants vote Democrat. It should have stated that 80% of immigrants vote Democrat.

Letter about Lanesboro City Council...

To the Editor, I had the privilege of attending the Feb. 1 city council meeting and have to pass on how impressed I was with the members’ competence and passion. A few years have passed since I’ve attended a meeting and I predict positive changes for Lanesboro under the leadership of this city government.

I went to the meeting to show support for a development planning proposal by the EDA. The community will be hearing the name Randall Arendt and the term “comprehensive plan” and “design”in the near future. I urge you to attend public meetings to be informed and be involved.

Randall Arendt is brilliant at improving communities when he designs a plan. He will be doing this for the Lanesboro community- that means ALL of us and generations to come.

I think of Lanesboro as a jewel, compared to some other small towns- it’s beautiful. In an analogy- I once had a large smoky quartz stone-my favorite for jewelry. I took it out of my jewelry box once in awhile, thinking “how pretty” but what should I do with it?

Only I get to admire it in this box and should it be a ring, a bracelet or necklace? I took it to an expert jeweler- won’t mention any business to show prejudice- but his name is Michael. He showed me a design for a ring and I agreed that I wear rings more than anything. The large smoky quartz is now in the most gorgeous setting that I can wear to admire always and of course everyone else can admire it too when they see it.

Get it? Thanks for reading.

are estimated to total $217,619.

Other expenses including the aquarium and furnishings are estimated to be $50,000.

Mayor Kurt Reicks made it clear that he wasn’t against the project, but he wanted to know how the city will pay for construction costs. Councilman Robert Maust explained that the furnishings will be the responsibility of each of the three organizations.

He estimated that Tourism could provide $5,000 per year, the Historical Society $10,000 per year, and the NTC $15,000 per year to help the city pay for construction costs.

Reicks noted that part of the contributions from the three organizations each year will go toward operating costs, only a portion toward construction costs. He asked where the up front money will come from. Maust argued that it will have to come out of the General Fund. There was some discussion about how this could affect budgeted items.

Hoffman maintained they will have to get a commitment from each of the three organizations as to the amount they can commit to each year. Next they will have to put together a budget recognizing that which will not be covered by the commitments.

Discussion of Ordinance 152.04, Manufactured Home Park Specifications In 2013, Kerry Soiney brought a complaint to the city council.

He wanted Chapter 152 of the city’s ordinance enforced. Specifically, he referred to this language: “there shall be a green belt, 15 feet in width, of plantings around the periphery of the manufactured home park that adjoins any residential zones, to effectively screen the interior of the manufactured park.” Soiney suggested that ever-

Monday, February 8, 2016

green trees are the most economical solution.

This ordinance was approved by the city council in 1971 and the Brownsville Trailer Park was established in 1972, then called the Green Acres Mobile Home Court.

Soiney wants to clarify the language in the ordinance, adding the sentences: “The green belt shall consist of two staggered rows of evergreen trees at least six feet tall. The rows shall be six feet apart and the trees in each row shall be spaced no further than ten feet apart.”

The mobile home park was purchased by Tim Johnston about 15 years ago. He said when he purchased the park he was unaware of a green belt ordinance. Johnston insisted that three and two-thirds of the park’s border is covered with a green belt.

Johnston maintained that two years ago Soiney asked that there be plantings placed in front of four mobile homes along Brownsville St. to screen it from the residences across the street. He explained that he and Soiney went to Lowes and Johnston purchased 20 or more arborvitae trees and some lilac bushes. Soiney said they were the only trees they could find that were six foot tall and these plantings were a start and not nearly sufficient to screen the park. He claimed Johnston is still in violation of the ordinance.

Soiney insisted the mobile home park, without proper screening, reduces property values of nearby homes. He wants Johnston to submit a plan by April 1 and plant a green belt by June 1.

Gail Bunge, speaking for her husband Andy and herself, requested that the full extent of the ordinance be enforced. The couple owns three vacant lots on the back side of the mobile home park. She explained that when these lots are developed they will increase the city’s tax base. She

added that the current view from the lots without the green belt is a detriment.

Robert O’Reilly said he has owned a rental home across from the first mobile home since the 1970s. Trees and bushes screening the park will add value to all of our homes. He also noted that runoff from heavy rains runs to the south into his garage.

Hoffman stated that ordinance 155.185 has a requirement of a relatively clear sight area 10 foot off the city’s right of way to allow for visibility. “No fence or wall shrub planting of more than 2.5 feet in height above the level of the public sidewalk shall be erected on any interior lot within 10 feet of the front property line when it will interfere with traffic visible from a driveway.” Police chief Matt Schultz has agreed that this is appropriate from a safety stand point for vehicles coming out of a driveway into the street. There is some question whether there is adequate room for a green belt as Soiney described between this 10 foot set back and the mobile homes.

Hoffman said they need clarification as to what a green belt is. He noted that it is estimated that a green belt as defined by Soiney will cost $60,000 for the Brownsville park and $25,000 for the mobile home park near the school.

Johnston said the mobile home park across from the school property is the most visible park in town. He insisted that what is enforced in one park must be enforced the same in the other. He asked the council if they are going to rewrite the ordinance and make it tougher and if one individual can make this an issue?

Soiney and Johnston had different recollections of what took place with the plantings made 20 months ago. Reicks said he recalled that they agreed to work

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County together. He said he understands where Johnston is coming from, believing at that point that those plantings were good enough.

City attorney Dwight Luhmann said the ordinance as written is difficult to enforce as it is a little vague. Also, the city can’t selectively enforce the ordinance for one park and not the other. What does the word “periphery” actually mean? He said it would be different if it was a self contained park.

There are several driveways from individual mobile homes to the street. Luhmann added there is a difference between the back side and the street side.

Maust said he didn’t think screening from the street was the intention of the ordinance. Councilman David Harrison said he would like to see a green belt, but he didn’t see how it was practical, considering the estimated cost.

After over an hour of discussion on this issue Reicks said there isn’t an agreement on what is required.

Councilman Charles Sparks suggested they have to see if they can come up with a definition that is feasible for these types of locations. Councilman David Collett said one ordinance may conflict with the other, the one requiring a green belt and the one requiring a 10 foot setback from the right of way.

Staff was directed to draft a couple of options for the council

to consider at another meeting.

The options being a green belt or no green belt. Also, a definition of periphery may be clarified.

Other business in brief • A resolution was adopted for the development agreement between the city and S & P Hanson, LLC. This will “preserve the full redevelopment potential” of the B & B Olympic Bowl site. The building is “substandard”. The owners will demolish the building and the city intends to include the parcel in a redevelopment tax increment district.

• The purchase of a new copier at a cost of $7,000 was approved from Metro Sales. Half the cost is paid by Preston Utility.

• The council approved a donation of $100 to the Post-Prom committee as they have each of the last seven years.

• Ambulance director Ryan Throckmorton asked for and received approval of the ambulance write-offs. This is done each year. Throckmorton said their collection rate is about 72 percent of the amount billed. The 2015 and 2014 write-offs are the funding gap between what private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid will reimburse for a call. Balance writeoffs for 2014 are largely uncollected accounts. This doesn’t forgive debt, but is an acknowledgement that these debts are unlikely to be collected.

In 1954, they moved to Rochester, Minn., where they raised their family and built their life together. In addition to being a wife, mother and homemaker, she enjoyed gardening. She always had the home decorated with beautiful flowers and a full garden outside.

She was also very skilled artistically. It wasn’t unheard of for her family members to receive hand drawn birthday cards inside envelopes embellished with her doodles. She also enjoyed painting, sculpting, and woodburning.

Many examples of her work could be seen displayed throughout her home. When she wasn’t tending to her garden or artwork, Lorry was known to enjoy watching the “telly”, wearing beautiful clothes, and she didn’t mind hearing a dirty joke now and then.

Lorry maintained her sarcastic wit all throughout her life and always had a zinger for anyone

Superintendent Chuck Ehler added that the board had 10 days from the date of receipt to make a decision. “Our attorney advised us to go ahead and reject it. As a board, you do not have the authority to accept the petition.

“If this goes through, what is to stop those who want a school from putting forth another petition?” asked Linder. “It never ends. That’s why the statute is

Monday, February 8, 2016 Joyce Iverson, Val Howe, and John Linder. It was opposed by Director Jon Pettit. Board Directors Dean Mierau and Talyor Peterson abstained, asking for more time to clarify the issue and formulate a decision.

In other news, the board approved a plan for early retirement guidelines for teachers.

Done in consistency with past plans, the guidelines allow an eligible teacher to continue receiving health insurance benefits for two years if opting for early retirement. There was some question as to why only two years of benefit were offered, as teachers 55 and older with qualifying experience of 90, are eligible to retire earlier. The district noted that through calculations, cost savings to the district were determined and two years is what can be afforded by the district at this time.

A memo with the early retirement guidelines will be put forth to district teachers. It’s likely that the district will know if there’s interest by retirement eligible teachers by the February board meeting.

The board also passed the 2016-2017 master agreement with teachers. Following negotiations, Superintendent Ehler sought to pass the agreement, despite an issue that is unresolved regarding paid time off not to be used for the purpose of working a second job. Director Jon Pettit, who served on the subcommittee for negotiations, urged the board

to wait on passing the agreement until all issues are satisfied. Ehler noted that the district plans to later include a Memorandum of Understanding with the agreement, clarifying and satisfying the issue.

Pettit and Director Peterson, however, felt it was premature to pass an agreement with outstanding issues. Director Linder, who also served on the subcommittee, stated his belief that the contract should not be held up for the issue, arguing that paid time off is earned and that teachers can be responsible for how that time is used. “The incident was approved before we began contract negotiations. We can’t back out,” added Linder.

“That may be, but it’s not good policy to have a clear contract

Page 11

and not follow it,” countered Pettit. “You’re homing in on one instance. The public perception was not good. There are several other instances.” He continued to urge all loose ends be tied up prior to agreement approval.

There is no deadline by which the agreement must be approved.

Director Peterson motioned for the agreement to be tabled. It was seconded by Director Mierau, but was defeated in a roll call vote. A motion to approve the agreement was made by Director Koop and was approved by herself and Directors Iverson, Howe, and Linder in a 4:3 vote.

The next regularly scheduled school board meeting is Monday, February 22, at 5:30 p.m., in the high school biology room. The public is encouraged to attend.

R-P Board Director Taylor Peterson, at left, sought legal clarification at the January 25 board meeting as to state statutes and whether a petition asking to halt construction of the new R-P facility and for a new ballot vote be put to voters. Also pictured are Board Chairman John Linder, center, and Superintendent Chuck Ehler, at right.

“The purpose of the amendment is to clarify definitions and procedures for the administration of the tax,” stated city documents. Also included is language to formally designate the Rushford Peterson Valley Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors as the local convention or tourism bureau for the purpose of marketing and promoting tourism. Through state statute, 95% of lodging tax funds is to be spent by the acting tourism bureau, with the city retaining the remaining 5% to marketing a tourism purposes.

Another change put forth in the ordinance is the inclusion of city-owned campgrounds as a private source of the lodging tax. Previously, it had been limDomestic shorthair Female • Cat • Young

ited to lodging establishments, public and private campgrounds, but excluding municipal campgrounds.

John and Eileen Loken, owner/ operators of Loken’s Rushford Inn, have been vocal in supporting the use of the funds for marketing and tourism, but that the collection of funds should be fair across the board for any type of lodging. The Lokens also stressed a desire that the ordinance, collection, and usage of lodging tax dollars be reviewed annually.

Jennifer Hengel, Director for the Rushford Peterson Valley Chamber of Commerce, and Peggi Redalen, Chamber President, were on hand at the meeting and expressed no concern with the ordinance amendments. All items relating to the funds will be reviewed by the Chamber Board and city quarterly with a formal report annually. City Administrator Steve Sarvi cautioned the city not to include a review policy directly into the ordinance, noting the quarterly review stipulation will satisfy oversight.

“It’s more definitive. The intent of the lodging community meetings was to have a more open communication and improve the climate for tourism,” stated councilor Vern Bunke.

“Having the money in an establishment that is working hands on with it and bringing it back to us is a win-win,” added councilor Terri Benson. “It feels that’s the right place to go.”

The city has historically made contributions to lodging tax funds through general fund dollars, budgeted each year, to make up shortfalls in needs. The city will continue to do so. In addition, the city will continue to pay utilities at the depot out of the general fund, rather than have it funded elsewhere or by lodging tax dollars, which is not a defined purpose of the funds.

There was mention, previously, of having city representation on the Chamber Board to assist in monitoring the funds. However, both the city and the chamber deemed it unnecessary. The fund distribution will be the sole

responsibility of the Chamber Board and director and strictly for purposes related to marketing and tourism promotion. “I want to be sure we completely addressed and listened to the lodging establishments,” added councilor Bunke.

In other news, the city approved recommendations from both the Rushford Fire Department and the Rushford Ambulance Service for 2016 officers. All items were approved unanimously.

There was one report made to

the council by City Administrator Sarvi regarding a mishap along the Highway 43 corridor.

According to Sarvi, a dump truck was travelling along the highway with its box up and caught wires on a pole near the Lutheran Church. The pole suffered some damage and fiber optic cable for Mediacom was ripped out, but necessary repairs have been made. The truck driver was at fault.

The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, February 8, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Disturbing January fatal count

Super Bowl 50

A message received from the department of public safety During last week’s East Coast winter storm, it was reported at least 29 people sadly lost their lives, making headlines across the world. Twenty-five people were killed on Minnesota roads in January, yet most people don’t give it a second thought.

In just the first month of 2016, preliminary reports from the Office of Traffic Safety show 25 people have lost their lives in traffic fatalities, which compares with nine people reported at this time last year.

The 25 January deaths compares with an average of 19 deaths over the last five years (2011 – 2015).

Those who recently lost their lives include: • A 20-year-old Rochester man who was killed and his passenger seriously injured in a head-on crash. The driver in the opposing lane of traffic was attempting to pass traffic.

• A 26-year-old Isanti man who lost control and struck a guard rail, and his vehicle came to rest

in the lane of traffic. His vehicle was then broadsided by another car and the Isanti man was killed in the impact • A 16-year-old teenage girl from Canton was obeying the law, driving with her seat belt on but was killed when a 55-yearold woman crossed the center line. The State Patrol believes the 55-year-old driver was impaired by alcohol.

“People say goodbye before their loved ones drive away, never giving it a thought that it could be the last time they see that person,” said Donna Berger, Office of Traffic Safety director. “It’s time to make driving your number one priority when you are behind the wheel. All of our lives depend on drivers paying attention, buckling up, driving the speed limit and never driving drunk.”

Make driving safely the 2016 headline We can all make a difference by focusing on the rules of the road

allow me to Plan your next esCaPe!!

and knowing it’s not just your own life you are risking when you decide to weave in and out of traffic, speed through a red light or tailgate the driver in front of you.

Road fatality contributing factors in Minnesota • Speed: one in five deaths.

• Drunk Driving: one in four fatalities.

• Distracted Driving: one in five fatalities.

• Half of motor vehicle occupants killed were not wearing their seat belt.

“There is no such thing as the word ‘accident’ when it comes to a traffic crash,” said Lt. Tiffani Nielson, Minnesota State Patrol.

“We believe driver’s behavior plays a role in every crash we investigate. Whether it’s going too fast in winter driving conditions, a driver not paying attention to the road while they are on their phone, an unbuckled motorist or someone who got behind the wheel after drinking, the human element always comes into play.”

By Matson Kiehne The Super Bowl is one of the most hyped game of the year.

Between the game and the commercials, it gets intense.

This year, Super Bowl 50 is on Sunday, February 7, at Matson Kiehne 6:30 on CBS. Super Bowl 50 will be played at Levi’s Stadium between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos. This is an interesting Super Bowl between the young and talented Carolina Panthers and soon to be retired Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.

Carolina is a young talented team coached by Ron Rivera. The Offense is led by Cam Newton.

The Carolina offense has been lead by their rushing game. The Carolina running game averages 142.6 yards a game, which is second in the league. The Carolina passing attack is not near as effective, averaging 224.3 yards per game, which is 24th in the league. Carolina leads the league in points per game at 31.2 and is 11th in total yards at 366.9.

Carolina has shown all year to be a very solid team in my book starting off the year 140. They will be tough team to beat, but due to their young age, I wonder if they can hang with Peyton Manning.

The Denver Broncos have

Page 19

experience. They are coached by Gary Kubiak. The offense is led

by Peyton Manning. The Broncos offense has relied on many parts of their game, but mostly the rushing end. The Broncos Rushing game averages 107.4 rushing yards a game, which is 17th in the league. The Broncos passing attack is 14th in league with 248.1 passing yards per game. The Broncos are also 19th in the league in points per game at 22.2 and 16th in yards per game at 355.5. The Broncos team has been very inconsistent, with the injury of Peyton Manning. They have to be on their game on Sunday if they want to take down the talented Panthers.

Another hot topic when talking about Super Bowls is commercials. The price of a 30 second commercial at Super Bowl 50 will be $5 million. Some of the big companies that will be showing commercials are Doritos, Acura, Hyundai, and many others. This year will be an interesting race for the most interesting Super Bowl commercial.

Super Bowl 50 should have a lot of things in store for this year. Between the commercials, the game, and Peyton Manning’s retirement, 2016 has not failed to excite. Tune into CBS at 6:30 on Sunday, February 7th the see Super Bowl 50 to decide for yourself.

Senior year

Monday, February 8, 2016

socialscenes

By Blake Bigalk Ah, senior year! A year that can’t come soon enough for a majority of high schoolers across the nation. Many students in high school look forward to their senior year because they Blake Bigalk see it as a year to just have fun in school, enjoy the remaining time they have playing high school sports, and hanging out with their closest friends. They see it as the year they are supposed to have only their easy classes left, and the year where they can just relax in school. These students also see it as a final chapter in their lives where they set aside their childhood memories and move into the real world to experience new people and places.

However, there is often a fraction of high schoolers who dread the coming of their senior year.

They find it to be intimidating for multiple reasons, such as looking at colleges and quickly having to narrow down a future place to further their education, or the pressure of having to really start buckling down and discovering what they would like their future career to be.

Some seniors just don’t feel ready to take on the real world yet, and some maybe don’t feel like

they’re prepared for so much more responsibility. The bottom line is, senior year can be scary for some high schoolers, but they shouldn’t spend their last year of high school being constantly stressed. They should learn to take a step back and at least try to enjoy their remaining time in high school before the real stress of college hits them.

Now, senior year is already about halfway over for most high school students across the country, but if you’re a senior, or you know a senior who has been constantly stressed in school, or just wants to try and make the best of his/her last year in high school, these following tips may be just what you need to maximize the rest of your time as a senior.

First off, as fun as it sounds to just slack off and be completely stress-free your senior year, that’s not the wisest decision you could make. Avoid getting the well-known condition of senioritis too early in the school year, which could lead to a poor academic performance for your senior year. Instead, be proactive about your schoolwork and just take care of your grades.

When you start receiving scholarships, lower car insurance, and acceptance letters, you’ll be glad you did.

The second thing I recommend you do, is go to every school event you can! I mean everything: plays, sporting events, concerts, you name it.

This is your last year of being a student-spectator, and later on, you’ll realize how much fun you really had cheering on your peers at all their events.

My third piece of advice is to

try something new! Tons of high school students stick to the same activities every year, and some students do nothing at all. Just go out on a limb though, and try something you’ve always wanted but maybe were just a little too nervous to try. Join choir, try out for the track team, participate in SADD—just try something new!

In the end, you’ll probably like it so much, you’ll wish you would have tried it your freshman year.

My last tip for you seniors, which might be the most difficult one to do, but it is really the most important, is don’t look back. Don’t worry about the past and the mistakes you’ve made. Don’t stress about that time you embarrassed yourself in the tenth grade, that no one will even remember five years from now. Don’t try to redo events that maybe didn’t go as planned throughout your high school career, because maybe it all happened for a reason you don’t know about yet. Take your high school memories with you, and don’t forget about the amazing times you had with all your friends during those four years.

But don’t dwell on what you could have done better, or what went wrong during high school.

Live for the present moment and focus on what you can do in the now. The only thing you should worry about now, is making your senior year the best year yet.

By following these tips, I think you’ll be impressed with how the remainder of your time as a high schooler turns out.

Sue’s Muse

By Sue Ommen

Gilbert & walks At any odd moment during the day while nothing else is happening, Gilbert naps. He is a Class–A sleeper, a skill that serves him well to energize him for walks.

Gilbert loves his walks. No matter how lethargic the moment before, his head comes up, ears at attention at the mention of the walk. At times he will take the initiative, bringing Lu’s shoes to him, signaling his desire to take a walk.

After all, a lab needs exercise and so, after donning Gilbert’s vest and leash, off they trot to make the rounds of town and beyond.

On a trip to the drugstore, the pharmacist called to ask if he could give Lu some of the tube of glucose he was purchasing, as it was evident his blood sugar was low. After

conferring back and forth, the glucose was administered, and after a period of time it was deemed that Lu was good to continue his walk with Gilbert. Later, I found out Gilbert had not only alerted Lu, but also kept trying to grab the glucose tube from the counter. The druggist wondered if Gilbert had ever witnessed us using glucose and indeed he had. It does take a village (and a dog) to help a diabetic and ours is admirable in this effort.

On workdays past, Lu and Gilbert walked on the bike trail, a beautiful area that winds around the valley town. One fine fall day, the two of them watched an eagle See FOOD Page 21 

swoop down to the river to snatch a catch of some kind. Gilbert stared attentively at this elegant bird from the trail. Another day, Gilbert sniffed, nose to ground until he dug out a chicken bone that was 50 to 60 yards away and offered it to Lu. Now Lu has joined Fit Express to keep in shape. Since Gilbert can only watch, he takes him to the gym at the local community center to chase a Frisbee. One day Gilbert discovered a basketball, and nudged it across the gym with his nose to give to Lu.

Recycling 101

By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator Today’s tin cans, as we know them, are not made of tin, but are actually made of steel. Tin cans that were really made of tin were being used in the early 1800s to keep foods from spoiling as settlers traveled across the country. Today, LaVerne C. Paulson we purchase soup, juice, vegetables, meat, coffee, evaporated milk, sardines, pork and beans, and pet food in cans. Perhaps the second best thing about tin cans is they don’t usually break when you drop them. To a recycler,

their finest quality is the fact that they are highly recyclable.

One of the most common recycled metal products made with iron is the steel food can.

These cans are 99% steel.

They are made of steel for strength, but are coated with tin to stabilize the flavors of the can’s contents. Without this coating, the food in the can would most likely taste of metal. If you remove the label from a can after you have removed the food, you will most likely notice the inside of almost all cans is a different color than the outside. Food is actually cooked in the steel can during the canning process.

Food cans made of aluminum would not withstand the high temperatures needed for canning most foods.

All steel food and beverage cans are 100% recyclable, including the somewhat

uncommon bi-metal cans, the ones with the steel bodies and the aluminum ends. When a steel can is recycled, it is shredded and run through a series of washing solutions and filtered.

Since steel food cans contain both steel and tin, the recycling process (melting and filtering) must separate the molten tin and steel by “detinning”. This process yields high grade steel and tin, and new steel cans with a shiny, thin tin coating are produced.

The cans with the aluminum ends are also melted and made into new steel. However, the aluminum is not separated from the recycled steel, as is the tin, but enhances the process of making new steel cans. Recycled steel is used to build cars, trucks, bridges, trains, train tracks, jets, dumpsters, fences, siding and roofs for buildings, as well as the nuts and bolts that hold them together.

The recycling of steel cans is quite beneficial. It takes 75% less energy to recycle steel than to produce steel from iron ore. For every pound of steel recycled, the energy it takes to light a 60 watt light bulb for more than 26 hours is saved.

Through recycling, the steel industry saves an average of 600 trillion BTU each year. That is enough energy to electrically power a few more than 18 million homes.

You may want to keep one or two of these cans around, perhaps as a cutworm collar to guard your tender tomatoes or perhaps find a use for one as a night crawler container like many of us did before styrofoam containers became common. The majority of your steel cans should find their way to the recyclers, not the landfill.

You do not have to remove the labels from steel cans. They magically disappear during the melting process. Please rinse any remaining food particles out of the can to keep the vermin population down, as well

as odors, during the hot summer months. Do not cut off both ends and flatten them. The machine in the Cities frequently “sees” cardboard and flattened cans as being the same thing, which is maybe not good.

And.... if you still want to

call them tin cans, very few people will be offended. If you call them steel cans, there is a pretty good chance that a lot of your friends and relatives won’t know what you mean. Habits are hard to break, even the harmless ones.

athlete of the week

By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal.com By the end of January, only one FCJ covered school could boast two basketball teams with winning records. R-P’s boys improved to 12-2, 15-6 with wins The Trende over LewisReport ton-Altura (53-42), La Crescent (5034), and Crestwood (52-24).

Defense was the catalyst.

Their foes Paul Trende (two with winning records) averaged just 33 PPG. Nathan Sarvi (15 pts, 4-6 three’s) had a season high versus the Cardinals. Luke Rasmussen chipped in 13 points, Noah Carlson 10 assists.

Carlson (13 pts, 7 rebs, 4 stls), Matt Culhane (12 pts), and Caleb Thompson (11 pts) hit double figures versus the Lancers. Culhane (13 pts, 8 rebs), Rasmussen (12 pts, 4-9 three’s), and Carlson (10 pts, 6 stls) led the blowout of the Cadets.

The Trojans have taken their licks versus tough competition. They are still 1A contenders, ranked #6 in Class A. The girls, meanwhile, courtesy of wins over L-A (66-50), Houston (64-50), and La Crescent (57-41), improved to 6-7, 11-8.

Offense was the catalyst. The victories (62.3 PPG) were R-P’s three highest scoring games of the season. They came in averaging 44 PPG. Junior Brianna Koop had 21 (pts) and 10 (rebs) versus the Cards. Alli Oian (career-high 15 pts) and Mikayla Crawford (11 pts, 7 assists, 7 stls) helped out. Koop (20 pts, 8 rebs, 7 stls) led the way versus Houston, with Savannah Skalet (14 pts) and Crawford (11

pts, 5 assists) supporting. Alyssa Rostad (11 pts), Kelly Jerviss (11 pts, 12 rebs), and Jessica Kitching (10 pts) led the ‘Canes. Koop then had 24 versus the Lancers. Skalet pitched in 10. The Lady Trojans have won four-straight. They are a favorite in what could be a crazy 1A East race.

Johnston’s OT Heave Propels Canes

Mabel-Canton and Houston played a girls game most won’t soon forget, particularly Hurricane senior guard Cortney Johnston.

Houston’s Becca Lee hit a shot in the lane with 0:04 to send the contest to overtime tied at 55.

With the score tied at 59, M-C was fouled with 0:01 on the clock.

Senior Connor Benson hit two free throws to seemingly send the Cougars to the sure-fire victory. But on Houston’s in-bounds, Anna Sweet got it in to Johnston, who heaved up a three-quarter court shot that, well, went in! A home game, Houston’s fans stormed the court at the miracle. The ‘Canes got the improbable 62-61 win. Kelly Jerviss nearly had a triple-double (19 pts, 13 rebs, 8 blks). Sweet (13 pts, 6 rebs), Alyssa Rostad (12 pts, 6 rebs), and Johnston (11 pts, 3-6 three’s) gave the ‘Canes four in double figures, a first this season.

Ever-busy Vickerman (22 pts, 10 rebs, 9 assists, 5 stls, 4 blks) came one assist shy of a triple-double.

Benson and Payton Danielson chipped in 12 apiece.

Gophers Sweep Knights

Earlier in the year, Kingsland pulled off its first boys/girls sweep of Chatfield in basketball since 2011. It took until the squads’ next meetings for the Gophers to answer back. Chatfield’s guys ended a 13-game skid by downing the Knights 58-53. A 13-3 run to end the first half (23-16 deficit into a 29-26 halftime lead) was key.

Kingsland tied it early in the second, but then trailed by single dig-

its the rest of the way (within two four times). Two Tristan Aguiar free throws (0:04.2) sealed it (5853). Parker Fossum, who has been injured, rendering Chatfield not at full strength for most of the year, keyed the Gophers with 15 points.

Eleven came in the second half.

Carter Duxbury added 12 (pts) and 12 (rebs). Aguiar chipped in 11.

Quinn Larson (23 pts, 9 rebs) led Kingsland. Zach Bubany chipped in 11. Each team had less than 10 turnovers. Chatfield shot a touch better (22-56/39%, 18-54/33%) from the field. Interestingly, the Knights were fouled four times behind the arc in the second half.

Chatfield improved to 4-10, 4-17.

Kingsland falls to 4-11, 9-12. In Spring Valley, Chatfield’s girls got the win in the second 18-minutes. Kingsland led 22-20 at the break, but the Gophers went 18-2 to start the second half (38-24).

The Knights pulled to within five (48-43; 2:03). Chatfield’s Sydney Gould then hit ten straight free throws to ice the game. In a spirited battle, Chatfield prevailed 58-47 behind Gould’s career best 24-point night. Megan LaPlante added 11 points (all in the first half). Mariah Bell had 13 second half rebounds (14 total). She was key to Chatfield flip-flopping the first half (K 18, C 9) to second half (K 15, C 28) rebounding numbers.

Lauren Buchholtz (12 pts), Gracie Schmidt (11 pts), and Kailey Link (10 pts, 11 rebs) led the Knights.

Chatfield improved to 6-6, 9-9.

Kingsland fell to 6-7, 11-9.

Ask a Trooper

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Is there anything on a driver’s license that tells a merchant/business whether someone has a DUI or on probation for Troy H. a drinking Christianson violation?

Answer: If a person has three or more DWI arrests within ten years, or has four or more DWIs on their record, there is a notation placed on the back of their driver’s license (if they are eligible for reinstatement).

10/11/2015, Driver Must Carry Proof of Insurance When Operating Vehicle, Fine $200. restrict that person from entering an establishment that serves alcohol, but establishments can set their own policies.

With the Super Bowl weekend fast approaching I urge you to make smart choices when it comes to celebrating.

From 2010-2014, there were 945 people arrested for DWI in Minnesota during Super Bowl weekend. During that same time period there were 24 people killed on Minnesota roadways and more than 20% of those were alcohol related.

Always have a plan for a sober ride before you party or crash on a friend’s couch to avoid crashing on the road.

I f 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.
