Fillmore County proactively battles cyberbullying and sexting

Fountain modifies liquor ordinance amid citizen concerns By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com

When the Bent Wrench Bar & Grill in downtown Fountain closed in 2017, local business owners Mike Drury and Michelle Redalen, of Drury’s Furniture, opted to purchase the space in hopes of filling it with a thriving business again. “We bought it with the intention of seeing a business in there; to keep it from sitting dead,” said Drury. “We’ve been hoping and praying someone like these two would come. You know we need it. It’s good to have more businesses in town.” This statement was directed to the Fountain Council and a standing-room only crowd at the Wednesday, March 7 council meeting. Drury was referring to the business team of Jody Wiza and Laura Shroeder, who have a signed purchase agreement in place with Drury and Redalen for the building. The women plan to open a multi-faceted opportu-

nity with businesses split in the building; salon in the front and a restaurant and bar in back. Wiza has run a successful salon in Dover for more 14 years. In May of last year, she opened a bar business adjacent to her salon. She and business partner, Shroeder, are now looking to do the same in Fountain, which sits conveniently off Highway 52, getting plenty of traffic between Iowa and Rochester area commuters. As part of the bar business, Wiza and Shroeder will be submitting applications for onsale, off-sale, and Sunday liquor licenses. At the time of the meeting, however, Fountain had only one off-sale license, allowing customers to purchase alcohol and take it off premises. That license is held by Jackie Hrstka and Ron Huey, who secured the license in 2017 for their business, Huey’s Liquor. According See fountain Page 8 

school district reached out for a presentation in May 2017. The school’s principal then requested the presentation specifically for students in middle and high school, which in turn started the drive this past fall. The initiative also piggybacks on a sheriff’s department initiative aimed at promoting community outreach. “We also recognized the See CYBERBULLYING Page 2  Comment on this article at www.fillmorecountyjournal.com

A regular meeting of the Ostrander City Council was held March 6, with all members in attendance (Pam Kunert, Mayor Pat Nesler, City Clerk Wendy Brincks, Heidi Jones and DJ Start). The council discussed plans to fill the council seat vacant since Erin Volkart’s departure. Two citizens voiced an interest in filling this seat (Vernon Thompson and Stephanie Start), and both were in attendance at the meeting, so the council conversed with them. Both Thompson and Start answered questions regarding their reasons for wanting to serve

on the council, and the experience they would bring to the position. The council also talked about the general timeline of the process, which will include appointing someone this spring to fill the seat, and an election in November 2018 to elect someone to fill the remaining two years of what had been Volkart’s term. Pam Kunert voiced her concern that she would prefer not to have two council members from the same family, to avoid any problems. The council chose to table the issue, and will wait until the April meeting to appoint someone to fill the seat. On behalf of the engineerSee OSTRANDER Page 21 

Since 1901

The Fillmore County Sheriff’s Department and Fillmore County Attorney’s Office are in the midst of an initiative geared towards bringing awareness to the effects of bullying and social media usage and its gaining momentum. “The main goals of our campaign on appropriate social media usage is to keep our younger citizens, and all citizens, safer, to prevent them

from becoming or continuing to be victims, and to prevent them from being criminally prosecuted for their actions and wrong decisions,” says Fillmore County Sheriff Tom Kaase. The concept for the awareness campaign came from several different angles, giving way to a convenient opportunity. The Fillmore County Attorney’s Office had done a similar program in the past, geared towards creating technology awareness, after an area

advantage of improving the safety of our younger, and older, citizens by taking a proactive approach through education, 3/11/2018 as well as the reactive approach we’ve had to take over the last number of years,” adds Kaase. Over the last several years, reports to the department citing incidents of inappropriate usage, resulting in investigations, have increased. “Is this a result of more incidents happening or is it because of more awareness of the issues and problems, resulting in more report and requests for assistance from law enforcement?” As technology and social media continue to grow by leaps and bounds, departments and communities are striving to keep pace with any negative ramifications. “This same technology and social media touches all ages, there are no age boundaries or limitations,” states Kaase. “As we see more reports and investigations of incidents that people become victims and suspects, we recognize the importance of trying to

help people on the front end, in a proactive way. We want to help keep people safer. We want to help keep people from making poor decisions and becoming victims. We want to help keep people from making poor decisions and becoming suspects and being prosecuted for crimes. Technology and social media are here to stay. The Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office commitment is to help educated our citizens in a proactive way to have a safer life.” The first presentation was given at Rushford-Peterson. Since then, presentations have been held at Kingsland and Mabel-Canton school districts. Additional presentations are scheduled or in the works for Chatfield (April) and Fillmore Central. Organizers hope to also address additional districts in the future. Initially, the two offices put together their own presentation materials with Assistant County Attorney Marla Stanton taking the lead on Minnesota law and what legal situations are encountered and Sheriff’s Department Captain John DeGeorge presenting an

overview of how to be a good digital citizen. A powerpoint, put together by the Center for Missing and Exploited Children was found to be spot on the material and was eventually taken on as the bulk of the presentation portion of the events. Typically, middle school students, grades 5-8, depending on the district setup, are presented with hypothetical examples of social consequences regarding online safety, cyber bullying, and sexting. “We want them to know all the consequences and we start with saying, ‘We hope this is not the first time you’ve heard this information,’” notes Stanton. “The middle school students are usually very eager to answer our questions.” High school students receive a broader version of the material highlighting legal ramifications. “They’re not quite as eager to answer, but we’ll see them poke their friends; see them whisper to each other,” adds Stanton. She points out to students that online actions can be punishable by law. Parties in an issue, even in a consensual relationship, may see criminal punishment, including state and federal pornography felonies, if one of the parties is a minor. “Up until recently, cases fell under criminal defamation. In 2016, the state passed a new revenge porn statute,” says Stanton. In these instances, but not all, parties can be held responsible for distribution of sexually explicit material. A presentation for parents is typically held in the evenings, after the back to back, daytime student presentations. “Sometimes kids know more than parents,” cautions Stanton. “With kids, this is their first language; they’ve never grown up without it. If your kids are on it, you need to be on it.” The evening presentations are for anyone in the community interested in learning more. “Our hope is to continue to keeping moving forward with the proactive approach,” says

C ommentary Devil’s Advocate…Human connection matters By Aaron Bishop Harmony, MN Have you ever been in a state where your mind feels like it’s spinning without any indication of stopping? You can lie awake for hours at night, thinking of every- Aaron Bishop thing and nothing at once because each thought is so fleeting one cannot be grasped firmly enough to pull your mind out of the maelstrom. The compass to give your mind direction on the stormy seas of contemplation isn’t broken or shattered. It’s there, safe within its seal, but spinning maddeningly, dizzyingly directionless. Often times for me this experience of loss of direction is usually brought about by loss

of… something. The loss of a close friend in a car accident or suicide, family members from cancer, a beloved dog from a coyote hunter, or even the loss of connection with close friends who move away. During these times I feel as though I’m in a single-person canoe surrounded by the expansive sea with stomach churning waves and massive swirling gyres. As in life, some people’s worlds are dominated by endless onslaughts of ups and downs, peaks and troughs. Others experience those momentous times, but more rarely. As in nearly everything, there is a sliding scale of severity in each case for each person. For those of us who do experience the calm times, we can relax and enjoy the sunshine as it be. However, sometimes a storm comes and rocks our little boats. Those who have prepared will likely fare better than those

who have not. Sometimes there is no preparing for what life can throw at you. Picture the connection people have with others like a rope between your boat and theirs in the ocean of experiential turbulence. The stronger the relationship, the sturdier the rope. The thick ropes connecting each other hold us together, steady ourselves, and keep our bow pointing in a good direction. Yet, as connections can be made, so too can they be unmade. Like a rope that snaps or frays, sometimes it’s fast, sometimes it’s agonizingly slow. The internet can keep us together only so much. The links which bind people together are still there, but virtual ropes don’t always hold as strongly and are more susceptible to vanishing altogether. When a person is affected by an internal storm that no one

Where to start? Fix the budget process By Lee Hamilton You could choose any number of marquee dilemmas to illustrate how broken congressional politics has become. Guns, Russian interference, climate change — Americans Lee H. want progHamilton ress on all of them and get little from Capitol Hill. But to my mind, nothing illustrates the dire state of our politics better than how we act on the federal budget. This is not a glamorous issue, but it goes to the heart of our democracy. The budget is our operating system; it determines what the government does. ConEditorial Cartoon

tinually brushing against debt ceilings, fiscal cliffs, and shutdowns is a perversion of good government. We are saddled these days with an irresponsible process that produces irresponsible budgets, and we pay an enormous price for this. We move from one shortor medium-term continuing resolution to another. We stuff what should be 12 individual appropriation bills into unmanageable omnibus bills. We let a handful of leadership staff craft our national blueprint, excluding most elected members of Congress from the process and forcing them, at the one point when they do have leverage — the final vote — to make a decision without having the time to read, debate, or amend what they’ve been handed.

Moreover, under Democrats and Republicans alike, the number of committee hearings at which outside experts have a chance to educate members of Congress has declined dramatically. Congressional leaders have managed to push both the experts and the vast majority of their own members out of the loop. This is the world’s greatest democracy? There are costs to this. Federal departments and agencies cannot plan effectively. People, businesses and organizations that receive federal money can’t plan ahead — eroding their confidence in the system. And year after year we fail to face up to the problems confronting us. An aging population, the security of our nation, our inability to deal with the changing speed

else can clearly see or experience themselves, it may come off as though the person is just wanting attention as they flail about or retreat within themselves. They’ve cast their ropes out, hoping for someone, anyone to pick up the other end. Sometimes the immediate world takes notice and builds a strong connection of support network. Other times people can be ignored or overlooked in the hustle and bustle of daily life and mounting pressure from this and that. Sometimes people drown in the bottomless ocean with the roughest of seas. And sometimes, whether in their fear or anger or something else, they bring others down with them. Other people aren’t always the source of stability. Pets, work, books, goals are foundations we can harbor for a time, but I would wager the strongest, the most resilient, the quickest, and most responsive form of stability comes from our fellow humans. Our family, friends, neighbors

are all sources of security when we’re in need. Yes, a plethora of ropes tying people together can sometimes get tangled and messy. So, what do we do then? Do we all just panic as the next storm takes us all at once or one by one? Or do we calmly communicate with each other, move that rope under the other, around that one there, and untie the mess we got ourselves into? I challenge you to allow yourself to focus on your well-being and ask for help when you need it. In return, be there for someone else when they need yours. It feels good to be helped and have direction, and even better to help others. Family meals at least once a day, walks with your friends outdoors (of all places), neighborhood outings at the park. Real human contact. Real human connection. Real human communication. This is what makes a support network. That’s what steadies the compass point. Cheers.

and technology of warfare, rising health-care costs, slow wage and productivity growth, natural disasters, huge increases in the national debt — punting on the budget means that the meaningful solutions we need don’t get crafted. Congress is not doing its most important job. Why is this? Why have we set aside a process that was developed over more than two centuries and that for many decades enabled the government to do what it ought and to pay for it responsibly?

Much of this is caused by extreme partisanship. We don’t work together to solve problems; each party demonizes its adversary, and respectful deliberation and civil discourse come to a halt. Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I don’t think the President and the Congress can function effectively unless they work across partisan, ideological and geographic divisions to restore compromise and negotiation to a central role in governing. That’s because the budget is where all our differences on the major issues come to a focus. It’s where our political leaders establish priorities, debate them, and ought to resolve them. There’s no more crucial test of the ability to govern. As Alice Rivlin and Pete Domenici wrote a few years ago in a report for the Bipartisan Policy Center, the process should “heighten debate of the fiscal challenges confronting the nation and set in motion real negotiations, trade-offs and fundamental legislative reforms toward the goal of fiscal sustainability.” Unless we establish bipartisan

negotiating and consensus-building and restore civil discourse, we’ll continue to fail that test. As they point out, you can’t solve everything by improving the budget process, but good process significantly enhances the prospect of better performance. Without it, it becomes too easy for politicians to avoid difficult decisions like controlling entitlement spending or reining in the deficit. Process can’t substitute for political will, but it can buttress it. So we’ve set aside a process that worked reasonably well and substituted a process that falls short in every way. Because Congress turns over substantially every few years, this means that

it is now basically populated by politicians who have never experienced good process — let alone developed the skills to make it work. What may be most worrisome is that few people on Capitol Hill seem to care about this. But if they don’t, you should. And you should let them know that you do. Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar, IU School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice, IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Letter about taking care of the bullying on our school buses... To the Editor, I have sent emails to the Kingsland School about this. I asked why the buses have no cameras on them that work or even there. They told me once we had them but I guess that is wrong. Don’t we need this to help the drivers and keep our kids safe plus then we know for sure what the trouble was. I’m sure we can

get cameras for a lot less than what it will take to get a new gym. We have plenty of those if we would still use the ones in Wykoff. But then that is a no-no, too. So can we have a show of people that think this would be a good idea? Someday it may come in very handy. Our kids’ safety first and just maybe it could stop some of the bullying going on.

to Mayor Richard Kujath and former council member Tom Larson, who was also in attendance, the city having only one license stems back to when the city ran a municipal liquor store. It was noted that there is no legal reason why the city cannot amend the ordinance to allow for two licenses. For Hrstka and Huey, that was tough to swallow. The proposed business sits less than 100 feet north of Hueyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liquor. According to the pair, when they approached the council last summer, they made it clear they wanted the only off-sale license. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a competition; two businesses doing the same thing in a very small town. We said we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even consider opening unless we had the only off-sale license,â&#x20AC;? recalled Hrstka. Wiza offered up the option of keeping her off-sale hours closed during times when Hueyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liquor is open. Currently, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wednesday and Thursdays, from 3-8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, from 1-8 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hours are not cast in stone,â&#x20AC;? added Huey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason we wanted the only license is that we needed some flexibility.â&#x20AC;? Wiza added she would eventually like to pay to bus people from the area campgrounds to her establishment on the summer weekends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just me, trying to work with people,â&#x20AC;? said Wiza. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Competition brings people; people bring money.â&#x20AC;? Wiza also noted sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spoken with Karst Brewery about the possibility of having a Karst brew keg in the bar and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any pushback

the underway deconstruction of the former elevator and grain mill. Paul Hamann is planning on replacing the existing facilities with a 144 by 80-foot warehouse with 40 by 40-foot offices in the front of the building. The site will sell crop seed and various animal feeds. Upon reviewing the blueprints, Kujath noted that the plans sit atop two former septic tanks, just south of second street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build over tanks and there are two. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to deal with that.â&#x20AC;? The council directed Clerk Flattum to discuss the matter with Hamann before the council can look at approving building plans.

Fillmore County Sports For three youngsters, it was a great experience that foreshadows potential big futures. For one esteemed The Trende senior, it Report was the end of a prep career. A n d though it was a good end, it wasn’t a perfect Paul Trende one. Jake Mandt (senior, Chatfield), Seth Goetzinger (freshman, Chatfield), Carter Jonsgaard (freshman, LARP), and Caden Anderson (freshman, FCLMC) were this year’s county entrants at the individual state wrestling meet. Mandt (145) went back to St. Paul with an eye on repeating as state champ. On Friday, he won twice, beating Quad County’s Ayden Friese (30-13) by 12-1 major decision and handling Tracy-Milroy-Balatan/ Westbrook-Walnut Grove’s #8 Anthony Axford (36-7) by 7-2 decision. It moved Mandt into a Saturday semifinal. There, he ran up a 3-0 second period lead on Roseau’s #3 Chandler Mooney (43-3), allowed a couple escapes, but prevailed by 3-2 decision. At that point, Mandt’s win streak moved to 59 (unofficially). In the 145-pound finals, the 5’4” Mandt faced tall and lanky Barnesville senior Brady Tweeton (43-1), the #2 ranked guy in Class A. Maybe Tweeten was more physically and mentally rested. Two upsets occurred in his bracket, leaving the senior to face zero ranked opponents on his way to the finals. Tweeton’s length was definitely a factor. Maybe Mandt was just due a loss. Either way, with the match tied 4-4 in the third, Tweeton

got Mandt in a cradle, getting four points out of the deal. It helped last year’s 138-pound third place finisher beat out Mandt by 9-6 decision for the 145-pound state title. Mandt’s dreams of a storybook ending to an excellent career were nixed. It was his first loss this year. It is the first time he has ended the year on a loss since eigth grade (lost a true second at sections). He finished fifth in state as a freshman (42-4), third in state as a sophomore (32-4), and was state champ last year (31-2). Mandt is 175-20 over the past five years (unofficially). The future St. Cloud State Huskie owns both state wrestling team (2014) and individual titles (2017) amidst his five total state experiences. He’s one of Chatfield’s best ever wrestlers. Meanwhile, teammate Seth Goetzinger wrote chapter one in his wrestling story. He had a terrific tourney. The freshman, unranked to end the season, might not be unranked too much going forward. In the first round, Goetzinger trailed Sibley East’s #9 Drayton Morton (35-10) 2-1 after two, before tying the match with an escape. In the final 0:14, he got a takedown and near-fall points for the 6-2 decision win. In the quarters, Goetzinger gave up an escape to T-M-B/W-WG’s #3 Ayden Horner (45-6) to trail 1-0, but worked for a takedown in the final 0:05 of the match for at 2-1 decision win. Top-ranked Will Magaard (46-1) of KerkhovenMurdock-Sunburg was then too much (13-4 major decision) in the semis. Magaard went on to claim the 106-pound state title. Goetzinger rallied in the wrestle-backs. Versus section finale foe #2 Michael Majerus (37-8) of Z-M, the competitors alternated scores to a 4-4 tie. In overtime, Goetzinger staved

Arett went ahead 4-2 in the third, only for Goetzinger to score eight unanswered points in the final 1:00 for the 10-4 decision win. Facing five top ten guys, going 4-1, Seth claimed third place. He trailed in the third period of every match. He finishes an excellent freshman season at 34-8. LARP’s Carter Jonsgaard also wrestled five matches in his first state tourney. Also unranked to end the season, Jonsgaard probably won’t see that too much going forward either. The frosh won his first match, a 5-1 decision over Fertile-Beltrami’s Hunter Hitchen (21-16). Jonsgaard then fell to Windom-Mountain Lake’s #3 Brett Willaby (41-4) by 17-3 major decision. In wrestlebacks, Jonsgaard beat New York Mills’s Gabe Gieser (23-16) by 5-0 decision, Atwater-CosmosGrove City’s Jake Mortensen (28-12) by 3-1 decision (SV-1), and Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa’s Blaine Fischer (40-16) by fall to make the third place match. There, Jonsgaard again fell to Willaby (13-4 MD). He made the podium, taking fourth, ending the season with a 34-13 record. The only county wrestler not to place was FCLMC’s Caden Anderson. The freshman (120) wrestled twice. He fell to B-B-E’s #2 Canon Swanson (47-3) by fall. Swanson finished as state runner-up. Anderson then lost to Royalton-Upsala’s Jacob Leibold (31-16) by 2-0 decision (SV-1). The freshman Anderson finishes his season at 23-9. Mandt, Goetzinger, and Jonsgaard were three of 12 Section 1A wrestlers to finish top four. Caledonia/Houston had two state champions in Kyle Cavanaugh (138) and Zach Schneider (160). Z-M had a state champion in Caden Steffen (182) and a runner-up in Jacob Bennett (195). St. Charles had a state runner-up in Mark Buringa (132).

Knights Go 16-3 For Big Comeback

Boys high school play-off basketball is upon us. Both sections 1A and 1AA should be wild, crazy, and highly competitive. A first round 1A contest between 12-seed Grand Meadow (12-13) and 5-seed Kingsland (15-11) started the ball rolling. The Knights won the regular season meeting 55-53 (each team down a starter Kingsland Wyatt Pruter, GM Colt Landers). The postseason match-up was even closer. It looked like upset city early on. The Larks barely missed from distance in the first half. Hitting 8 of ten threes, GM jumped out 14-4 and led 35-23 at the break. The lead ballooned to 16 (44-28) early in the second. It looked like N.C.A.A. March Madness;

a 12-seed nearly always beats a 5-seed. GM, younger and the underdog, then maybe went to the stall a bit too soon. Seniorladen Kingsland said hold on. John Fenske’s Knights have spurt-ability. They pounded it inside and pounded the glass. Matthew Woods’ three-point play got the deficit under 10 (50-41; 6:46). The play started a big run. Zach Bubany’s pullup deep three two possessions later was a huge momentum grabber, trimming the deficit to 51-46 (5:47). Scoring on their seventh straight possession, a Wyatt Pruter bucket made it 51-50 (4:47). In the span of two minutes, Kingsland went on a 12-1 run. Two possessions later, a Bubany driving bucket gave the Knights their first lead (52-51; 3:15). Jordan Beck then found Jackson Rindels to put the Knights up 54-51 (2:45). In the final two-and-a-half minutes, just two points were scored. Ethan Gilbert-Jahns hit two free throws to pull GM within one (54-53; 2:05). After that, Kingsland missed three shots and two front-ends. GM had three shots to go ahead. Gilbert-Jahns missed two, the later hindered greatly by Beck’s defense. With 0:07.5 left, the Knights missed their second front-end. Austin Funk got the ball down court and got up a wild attempt up. There was contact. There was contact all night. The shot was off-off. Time expired. Ending on a 16-3 short run, a 26-9 prolonged run (after trailing 44-28), five-seed Kingsland survived and advanced 54-53. Guards Pruter (16 pts, 6-12 FGs) and Bubany (12 pts, 3-8 threes, 5 assists) did work. Beck (12 pts, 17 rebs) was a beast on the boards. Funk (17 pts, 3-4 threes), Landers (11 pts, 6 rebs), and GilbertJahns (10 pts) led GM. The

athlete of the week

Three Place at State Wrestling

Larks attempted less threes in the second half (1 of 6) than they made in the first (8 of 10). They didn’t record a field goal the last 7-plus minutes and had just one field goal the final 11-plus minutes. They scored on back-to-back possessions to start the second half, then had just three field goals the final 24 possessions. Kingsland owned the boards (39 to 25), particularly after halftime (24 to 10). They had 19 offensive rebounds for 14 second-chance-points all told. GM had four for three. The Knights thus had 16 more shots (K 21-57 FGs, GM 16-41 FGs). Kingsland (5-seed, 16-11) moves on to Mayo Civic to face Faribault-B.A. (4-seed, 15-11).

20 Wins, On to Rochester

In a way, Rushford-Peterson (1-seed, 19-7) gave Houston (16-seed, 11-16) some help. In another Round of 16 1A contest, the Trojans played minus their top scorer and tallest player (6’5” Ben Ansell). The senior’s absence (concussion) had little effect on the outcome. A 1A play-off in Rochester just wouldn’t be the same if team green didn’t show up. Tom Vix’s boys will be there. The Trojans ran up a 45-18 halftime lead and prevailed 74-35. Jacob Paulson led the way (20 pts, 10-13 FGs, 4 stls). Landon Skalet (11 pts, 3-4 threes, 7 assists), Kobe Lind (11 pts, 3-6 threes, 4 stls), and Vinnie Mason (10 pts, 5-6 FGs) each hit double figures. Dawson Dahl had 4 (pts), 5 (rebs), 6 (assists), and 6 (stls). Eleven of 13 Trojans to play scored. Starter Payton Hahn returned after missing six games. Houston junior James Hongerholt (23 pts) did a majority of his team’s damage. Houston’s season ends See SPORTS Page 11 

Jake Mandt Chatfield Wrestling

Chatfield’s Jake Mandt finished as 145-pound state runner-up. The senior has had a fantastic, four-time state-placer, two-time state champion, 175-win career.

Hot Shots

The last county girls basketball team left standing fell. Kingsland bowed to top-ranked L/P 75-46 in a 1A quarterfinal. Kristi Fett (41 pts, 18 rebs), a 6’5” senior center, was too much for the Knights. Kingsland finishes at 14-14. It is the tenth time this year they have been at .500. The girls 1A final four was composed of all formerly “West” teams. One-seed #1 L/P beat 4-seed #9 GM (23-6) 60-37. Two-seed #3 Hayfield beat 3-seed #4 Goodhue (21-8)

42-26. L/P (27-1) is set to play Hayfield (25-4) for the section title. L/P’s only loss is to Crestwood (Cresco), which dominated its way (26-0) to its first ever Iowa Class 3A state title. Nate Haugerud had a career-high 23 points and 14 rebounds as FC’s boys beat G-E in a 1A play-in contest. The Falcons then tested 3-seed W-K, but fell 51-44. FC finishes at 8-20. Lanesboro fell to Hayfield 60-56 in another 1A play-in game. The Burros finish at 2-24. Houston beat M-C 69-55 in a play-in game. It was the ‘Canes third win over the Cougars this year. M-C finishes at 8-18. Chatfield’s boys lost at #4 Caledonia in a 1AA 1st Round game 85-50. The Gophers finish at 4-22.

Preston signs Doherty land option/purchase agreement By Karen Reisner At the March 5 meeting of the Preston City Council, City Attorney Dwight Luhmann was instructed to send the signed and updated option/purchase agreement to Robert Doherty for his signature. The city has held an option on the approximately 15 acres of Doherty land for about four years. This agreement will purchase an extension of that option agreement at a cost of $15,000 for one year. The council would like this land to be the site of a future veterans home. If during that one year period the city council exercises its option to purchase the land, the $15,000 will be subtracted from

the $210,000 purchase price. The 2018 Trout Days fireworks agreement with J & M Displays was approved. J & M Displays will charge $5,500 (a $250 increase from 2017) for the fireworks show, which is to be paid in full by March 10. The fireworks are to take place on the evening of May 19. Funding for the fireworks display comes from the Trout Days budget, donations, and the fire department. Approval was given for Mayor Kurt Reicks to attend the Minnesota Mayors conference during the weekend of April 27 and 28 at Perham, Minn. The estimated cost is $650, which includes registration, lodging and travel.

I truly believe everything happens for a reason whether we know that reason or not. To cherish life and be thankful is the correct thing to do.

People can complain in many ways; these include constantly complaining about the same thing, complaining about everything, and complaining for sympathy. There is more to life than complaining about it. If you want there to be a solution, there will be. Ashley Haugerud is a student at Fillmore Central High School.

Annual Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign Some people face food insecurity every day, while others struggle after an unexpected expense or decrease in income. Hunger can lead to poor health or illness in addition to poor performance at school or work. During 2017, Semcac food shelves in Rushford, Preston, Caledonia, and Kasson had 7,686 visits from 1,258 households and distributed 361,926 pounds of food. Clients are also provided with information and referrals to other community services. The 36th annual Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign promotes the collection of food and funds to stock food shelves across the state. As an official participant, Semcacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food shelves will receive a percentage of the undesignated statewide March FoodShare funds. The allo-

cation depends on the amount of food and money raised locally during the campaign, and on the number of people served during the remainder of the year. The more donations that are collected, the higher the amount of FoodShare funds will be designated to Semcac food shelves. Semcac is asking local service clubs and organizations, businesses, churches, and individuals to help raise food and funds during March. Please bring donated funds, food, and personal care items to your local food shelf from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesdays or Thursdays. Donations must be received on or before April 5, to count towards the Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign. Thank you for being part of our fight against hunger!

ing firm of Bolton & Menk, Brian Malm addressed the council, sharing details on the four bids that were submitted for the well house and well improvement project, ranging from $983,000 to $1,026,000. The lowest bid was from Wapasha Construction. Malm said the Engineer’s Estimate was $994,500, and, “We would recommend, if you choose to move forward, awarding the contract to Wapasha. We’ve worked with them on several projects.” He also suggested that if Ostrander awards the contract at this time, it should be contingent upon Rural Development concurring. After brief discussion, the council voted to accept the bid from Wapasha, with this contingency noted. Malm also noted that the “Preconstruction Meeting” will be held on March 14, and the city’s “open house” to explain the project will be Thursday, March 15 at 6:30 p.m. The council also discussed a suggestion from the owner of the Wolfs Den, that Ostrander consider getting recycling containers for citizens to use. Harter’s Quick Clean-Up has provided a quote that shows they could provide two eight-yard containers and every other week service, at a cost of $149 per month. Mayor Nesler said the city already contracts with Waste Management for recycling. No action was taken on the issue at this time. Wendy Brincks updated the council on water billing for the city. She said there had been glitches in the city’s water billing, and there have been a number of accounts significantly overdue. She said, “The potential write-off at this point is $536,” and she added that two properties are scheduled for water shut-off on

March 19. She concluded, “Otherwise, everyone that is in arrears, I’ve made contact and they’re making payments.” Deputy Leif Erickson gave a monthly report of police activity provided to Ostrander by the Fillmore County Sheriff’s department. He said in February, there were 14 calls total. Dustin Johnson gave an update on the fire department, saying there was just one call in February, and it was actually a false alarm at the care center. He also asked the council to consider buying two new 800 megahertz radios for the fire crew, since there is currently grant funding available to pay half the cost. The council voted to do this. Tommy Thorson addressed the council regarding the alley behind the apartments, saying, “The parking space, when it was built, was built so it slanted out toward the alley and down south. And over the years, every spring when you put more gravel on, and thank you for doing that because you fill up a lot of holes, but it has built up,” and he explained it now causes pooling of water. So he asked if the city could grade it back down this spring. Mayor Nesler said the city will look into this. Thorson also gave praise for everyone who helped make Uff Da Days a success. The council approved spending roughly $40 to replace a mirror that was broken off Wendy Brinck’s vehicle when the windsock fell from the wastewater treatment plant. The council approved paying a $2,440 invoice from Bolton & Menk. Council members signed an annual Conflict of Interest form. The meeting adjourned about 7:30 p.m. The next regular meeting of the council will be Tuesday, April 3, at 6:30 p.m. The public is welcome.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

Page 21

Failure to recycle cardboard costs county By Karen Reisner Commissioners discussed fines imposed by Winneshiek County Sanitary Landfill for cardboard contaminated loads at their March 6 meeting. Andrew Hatzenbihler, solid waste administrator, reported the county has been charged $150 per ton (normally $68 per ton) on a trailer load delivered to the landfill on February 13 because of cardboard contamination. Hatzenbihler said Winneshiek County is firm on their policy which does not accept corrugated cardboard, which can easily be recycled. Cardboard unnecessarily fills limited landfill space. He suggested cardboard contamination is coming from the haulers. A load from just one hauler can contaminate a full 20 ton trailer load. Fillmore County is footing the bill for the additional cost for contaminated

loads. The board discussed ways to address the problem including educating haulers and also its citizens. Utility bills could include educational material on proper disposal; what to recycle and what not include in the trash. Commissioner Randy Dahl suggested a surcharge for haulers who bring in contaminated loads. He said individual haulers have to pay attention to what they are putting into their truck. County Attorney Brett Corson stated so far Winneshiek County isn’t willing to budge at all. The five-year contract says we have to comply with their rules and regulations. The possibility of terminating the contract was also discussed. Hatzenbihler wanted to avoid fining the haulers. But, a sur-

charge would be the easiest way to get a haulers attention. He said he would do what he could to educate haulers and the public. Commissioner Marc Prestby suggested talking to Harter’s Quick Clean-up to see what could be done. A motion to pay the $2,460 bill for a 16.4 ton load ($150 per ton) contaminated with cardboard was approved. Prestby wants a letter included with the payment with some language stating that if the fines continue Fillmore County will consider terminating the contract. Approval was given for Hatzenbihler to attend Household Hazardous Waste OSHA Safety and Health, plus DOT training (required for Household Hazardous Waste Program) See COUNTY Page 23 

Opportunity Zones The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (passed and signed into law in December 2017) contains a tax incentive for certain investments in Opportunity Funds. Marty Walsh, Fillmore County EDA director, reviewed the new federal program called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opportunity Zones,â&#x20AC;? that was created with the new federal tax law. Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) has asked for help to designate low income census tracts (potential Opportunity Zones) in the state that could be eligible to host â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opportunity Funds.â&#x20AC;? Investors will be able to transfer money from their investments into an Opportunity Fund. If the money is left in the fund for 10 years, any realized capital gains from the original investment will be forgiven (tax free). Any gains realized during the life of the Opportunity Fund investment, during the 10-year period, will also be tax

free. Opportunity Funds will be available to fund economic development in designated Opportunity Zones. No guarantees will be made on the investments. Just like most investments, there is an opportunity for gains and the possibility of losses. Census tracts in Fillmore County that could qualify for the program include areas surrounding Preston, Harmony, Canton, Mabel, Lanesboro, Whalen, Rushford, Peterson, the City of Rushford Village, Spring Valley, and Ostrander. The number of eligible tracts in the state will be narrowed down. The governor will look for local support and potential for economic development. There is no cost to the county. Walsh noted that development would likely be in communities with infrastructure that could provide for potential developments. The program will attempt to attract attention to underdeveloped areas. Ranking of the census tracts will be based on response from local EDAs, banks, and other community groups. A resolution to support the Fillmore County EDA to seek inclusion of eligible census tracts in the county and to work with appropriate agencies and community groups was approved unanimously. Com-

missioner Duane Bakke asked that the county EDA keep the board updated. Other business in brief â&#x20AC;˘ A resolution was adopted to support mental health bonding/state capital investments. The Association of Minnesota Counties has identified mental health bonding as a top legislative priority for Minnesota counties in 2018. The resolution points out the gaps in the mental health continuum of care. Individuals with mental health crisis issues are often sent to jail or other facilities that are not equipped for their care. The resolution calls for investments in new permanent supportive housing and regional behavior health crisis program facilities. Fifty-two counties have already passed resolutions of support. â&#x20AC;˘ Approval was given to advertise for six bridge replacement projects (Carrolton Township, Sumner Township, and Carimona Township and LOST projects on CR 105, CR 101, and CR 104.)

security positions. The hires were discussed in both Law Enforcement and Court Security committees. Both committees leaned toward hiring part-time sworn deputies.

Rushford Village approves Public Works plans By Kirsten Zoellner The Tuesday, March 6 Rushford Village Council meeting was mainly comprised of Public Works matters, having a brief agenda and 15-minute meeting. Not in attendance were Mayor Gordon Johnson and Councilor Mike Ebner. Acting Mayor Dennis Overland ran the meeting. According to Public Works Supervisor Travis Scheck, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water tower should be scheduled for routine cleaning and maintenance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended by Minnesota Rural Water Association that towers are cleaned every three to five years. It was last done in 2014. At the time, a walk through

inspection by Engineering America highlighted a number of areas needing maintenance beyond standard cleaning. A one to ten scale rating of condition for the interior, exterior, and center pump resulted in scores of three, six, and five respectively. It was unclear whether or not the report was compiled prior to 2014 work that was completed at the tower or after, but it was noted not all of the areas of recommendations were implemented. The tower was constructed in 1995. Councilor Rich Smith questioned the lifespan of the unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good,â&#x20AC;? noted Sheck.

Lanesboro council makes decision on proposed Zenith Street paving project By Hannah Wingert The March 6 Lanesboro City Council meeting opened with a public hearing to discuss the potential paving of Zenith Street. At the February meeting, the council had proposed a motion to complete the project with 100% of the costs being assessed to the homeowners as it was their request that the gravel road be paved. “I want to address the council in favor of the request to improve Zenith,” Lanesboro resident Michael Brown stated. Brown does not live on Zenith Street, but felt that the project would be beneficial to the city. He believes that assessing the project at 100% would go against the city assessment policy. Drawing from literature published by the University of Minnesota’s Center for Transportation Studies, Brown concluded that a paved road would be more cost effective for the city to maintain than the current gravel road. One of the objections that the council had brought up at the last meeting was that the project was not in the budget. “I want to remind you that the budget is an estimate or plan and not a mandate,” he countered. Phil Dybing, the driving force behind the proposed paving project, presented the homeowners’ perspective to the council. “I

truly believe that the maintenance cost savings will be beneficial for the city,” he stated, pointing out that recently, the city maintenance workers have had to plow the road and then come back with gravel to spread on the ice. In the summer months, there’s the cost of dust control to consider. “I would like to summarize three key points that the homeowners would like to make,” said Zenith Street resident David Webb. His first point was the underlying problem of the type and volume of non-residential traffic on Zenith Street. Secondly, he noted that timing is of the essence as last year’s Zenith/Auburn Street project will be completed with its second overlay soon which means that the equipment necessary to pave Zenith Street will already be in Lanesboro. Last, he pointed out that non-residential traffic accounts for more than 70% of the traffic on that road. “All the homeowners have agreed unanimously to split costs with the city 50/50,” he said. “We think that’s a win-win situation for everyone and we hope that you would give it due consideration.” Lanesboro resident Andy Batstone asked where the project would fit into the city’s infrastructure needs. “I think that’s something the city needs to ask itself as

there are a lot of projects that need to be addressed around town,” he said. He also asked if there was a study that backed up the statistic presented by Webb stating that 70% of the traffic on the unpaved portion of Zenith Street is nonresidential, and if the numbers had been crunched for the current maintenance costs. “The biggest thing is where does this fit into the greater scheme of things for what’s best for the city?” he concluded. Deputy Clerk Darla Taylor noted that the city has received emails from three of the Zenith Street homeowners, all of whom have assessable lots. One was amenable to paying the usual assessment costs at 35%, the others were not in favor of having to pay anything for the project. Webb said that while he and others have tried to identify and contact all of the landowners on Zenith Street, some had not been identified yet and feedback had not been received from others. “We’re hopeful that we can reach some agreement with them as well,” he commented. “We realize that the city has a number of infrastructure projects to consider,” Webb continued. However, he wished to point out that the Zenith Street paving proposal has been brought before the council for four months in

a row now. “We are asking that the matter be considered now to get the bargain price while the paving equipment is in the city.” He also noted that the total cost for the city if the homeowners are assessed for 50% would be in the range of $30,000. The public hearing was closed and the regular city council meeting was opened. Council member Tom Smith made a motion to accept the offer from the Zenith Street homeowners at a 50/50 cost share and to re-work the budget to find the money needed for the paving project. Council member Marge Drake noted that while she empathized with the residents who wanted their street paved, she was concerned about the homeowners who had already stated that they do not wish to be assessed at 50% and would refuse to sign a waiver allowing those assessments. She also felt that Batstone had raised a number of legitimate concerns, primarily the city’s extensive list of infrastructure projects that need to will need to be addressed soon. “There’s no lack of infrastructure needs in town,” City Engineer Brian Malm agreed. He recommended that if the council decided to move ahead with the Zenith Street paving project, that they assess all of the homeowners at 50% and get waivers signed by everyone possible to reduce the risk of appeals. “We appreciate the letter and the offer of 50/50 assessments, but we need to be good stewards of the resources we have and some homeowners aren’t willing to pay (50% assessments),” council member Bridget Harvey commented. Dybing made one final statement to the council before the motion was voted on, noting that the reduced maintenance costs should offset the cost of the project within 10 years. “It’s our intent that city has mitigation of

investment,” he said. He also felt that the risk of any of the homeowners appealing the assessment costs in court were negligible as the court costs would be significant. “I can’t imagine someone making an issue out of paying their portion when city is paying half,” he commented. Smith’s motion to accept the offer from the Zenith Street homeowners at a 50/50 cost share and to re-work the budget to find the money needed for the paving project was passed with a three to two vote. Malm agreed to put together a resolution to solicit quotes for the project and will present it at the April city council meeting. Mayor Autumn Johnson read a proclamation declaring April 7, 2018, as Commonweal Theatre Day in Lanesboro to honor and celebrate the theatre starting its 30th season. The lodging tax agreement with the City of Whalan was approved. The city met with Ryan Oian from Generation X and his lawyer to discuss the pay request from the company for work done during the 2017 street and utility improvements. Extra work was done that wasn’t approved by the engineer, the final completion date was late, and a property on Auburn sustained damages that occurred during the project. Because of that, the city did not feel it was responsible to pay the pay request for the final eight days of work. Generation X countered that with an offer to reduce the pay request to 5.5 days of work. The council approved the offer. Hal Cropp from the Commonweal Theatre asked the council for permission to have banners printed and hung on nine light poles on Parkway Avenue to celebrate the theatre’s 30th season. The council agreed to the request. The next Lanesboro city council meeting will be held on April 9 at 5:30 p.m.

Chatfield Elementary students made and enjoyed “gold medals” at lunch during I love to read month!

Week 5 was another great class and we have reached the halfway point. Week 5 lesson was about STRESS! The kids learned that there is both good and bad stress. We talked about what we can do to deal with stress with in our everyday lives, whether it was play music, go outside and play, or do an activity that makes them happy. We also discussed that we should take a moment and PAUSE when we find ourselves in a stressful situation instead of reacting right away, for me might say or do something that may be hard to take back.

Chatfield Elementary students celebrated the end of I love to Read month with Winter Olympic Games. Over 80% of our students reached their 100 step goal, so Mr. Bance and Mrs. MacLeod competed in an obstacle course and the “Game of Games” at an all school assembly. Great reading, Chatfield Gophers!

“It would be a huge undertaking if you start talking about a new water tank.” Smith clarified he’d be interested in finding out the estimated lifespan looking more towards the city’s longrange planning. A motion was made, seconded, and approved to have Engineering America come clean the tower, conduct a walk-through inspection, and provide a new report of maintenance needs and condition. The department is also looking at the rental or purchase of a used rock retriever disc to aid in reclaiming crushed rock off road shoulders. Scheck indicated an unused unit is owned by Hart Township and he intends to speak with the township board

regarding rental or possible purchase. The city has previously contracted for a similar service and found good results in the amounts of reclaimed rock. The council also approved the ordering of 3,000 cubic yards of crushed rock for the year. The amount was upped to 2,000 in 2017, mainly to accommodate the number of Federal Emergency Management Agency projects on the department’s schedule. Lastly, a Right of Way Ordinance is currently in the works, but to date, no drafts have been brought forward for the council to review. Scheck is involved in drafting the ordinance details, as is City Attorney Tom Manion who will review before council approval. In Zoning, the council approved the appointment of Travis Link to the Zoning Board. Link was present at the meeting. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, March 20, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Journey to Growth holds public meeting in Chatfield By Barb Jeffers A lot of positive and forwardthinking information was shared during the Journey to Growth Public Meeting held on March 1, 2018, at Chatfield Center for the Arts in Chatfield, Minn. If you have not heard of Journey to Growth (J2G) or have heard the name but are not sure what it is all about, these public meetings are very informative as well as a great opportunity for networking. Heather Holmes, J2G Project Manager and Regional Branding Cohort, states, “Even though we have been working for four years within the region, there is still a lot of recognition that is necessary and these public meetings allow us the opportunity to go throughout the various communities in the region and explain what we are doing,” as a regional economic development plan. “J2G is a five-year regional economic growth strategy aimed at growing and diversifying the regional economy. It is a partnership and platform aimed at engaging regional communities, businesses, and organizations in order to fulfill the realization of economic growth and diversification,” according to the J2G website, j2gmn.com. “Originally developed by Rochester Area Economic Development, Inc. (RAEDI) and the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce, Journey to Growth has evolved with the addition of numerous investors and implementation partners,” the website further explains. The counties included in the greater community include Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Steele, Wabasha and Winona. There were 120 people registered for the public meeting in Chatfield and those who attended were given valuable information as to the mission of J2G and what steps have been and will be taken to achieve that mission. Melissa Brinkman, Chair of the J2G board, notes that the public meetings are a chance for reporting out to the community, saying, “We do it about three times a year, sharing accomplishments that we’ve had since our last report out and also sharing what we have on the horizon as far as some things that we are working on, as well just to keep the community engaged and the public aware of what we are doing.” Mayor of Chatfield, Russ Smith, opened the meeting by welcoming everyone in attendance, saying, “It’s great to have the Journey to Growth group coming today,” and expressed how important businesses are to the local economy. Brinkman then spoke, thanking those who attended and those who assisted in preparing for the event, “to help advocate and help this initiative to work on us being a more cohesive and

connected region,” she stated. “In 2014 when J2G was launched, our goal was to diversify and expand our regional economy; we have made tremendous strides in doing so thus far and there is still much to accomplish,” commented Brinkman. Ten committees were formed to begin working towards this goal. These committees include Marketing, Economic, Entrepreneurship, Governing, Early Childhood, Workforce, Talent, Diversity & Inclusion Journey, and Regional and Transportation & Communications. “Some committees have achieved their goals originally set forth and some are integrating into other Journey to Growth committees or lending their time and talents to other partner organizations,” commented Brinkman. Sue Reinke Walch, Economic Committee liaison, reported on the committees activities. “Last year our committee held roundtables with each of the industry sectors that are strong in our region; at these sessions we asked the participating leaders to discuss key issues within their industries,” stated Walch. “There were common challenges present in each industry, such as finding skilled workforce, employee benefit costs, infrastructure improvements, taxation, regulation, etc.,” explained Walch, “but what was a surprise was that there was little knowledge or collaboration between the parties in the room,” she noted. “There was a case where a company had a production issue due to workforce problems and we learned that another regional company present in the room that day could have done that work for them on a temporary or a permanent basis; neither knew the other existed,” Walch said. John Reed, Transportation Committee Chair, reported the subjects they feel are most important in the region including sustainable transportation funding, with particular interest in roads and bridges. The committee meets every other month and Reed invites anyone who wants to get involved in transportation and transportation funding to attend their meetings. Xavier Frigola, with the Entrepreneurship Committee, reported that they have been working toward creating and entrepreneurial system. On August 15, 2017, the committee launched the Southeast Minnesota Capital Fund, otherwise known as the Angel Fund, where investment capital (a minimum contribution of $25,000 per investor) is used as start-up capital for companies with hopes of high returns on their investments. Julie Brock, with the Work-

Page 27

force Regional Partnership Committee, focuses on the workforce aspect of things saying “we have more jobs than people” which means businesses would be wise to invest in initiatives like J2G. “It’s about activating your workforce centers,” she explains, saying, “often we misconceive that the workforce center is only for jobseekers...they have valuable resources for businesses,” as well. The importance of Regional Branding was explained by Holmes as she said we need to do regional branding to be competitive, giving examples of Napa Valley, Quad Cities, Iron Range and others as examples of successful regional branding. The committee has begun a “Name our Region” contest with a prize of $500 for the winning entry. Visit j2gmn.com to enter. John Wade, outgoing chair of Journey to Growth and member of the Regional Development Fund, spoke about the importance of the economy in the region. “Regional economy is so absolutely critical,” he stated, saying “there are some 50,000 people a day that go into Rochester to work - that’s amazing,” he said. “Without a strong neighborhood, as they say, none of Rochester would be possible,” and, “we continue to make strategic investments throughout the region,” stated Wade. “Years ago we hatched a little idea and we included in the Rochester sales tax something that became known as the Good Neighbor Policy, and we set up some five million dollars out of the Rochester sales tax to not be spent in Rochester but to be invested in our regional communities,” Wade stated. The committee also came up with the idea for a Southern Minnesota Diversification Fund “which would be some 30 to 50 million dollars that would be invested by organizations that are all here,” and the fund would “help businesses that are not in Rochester - helping them to grow and develop and expand,” stated Wade. This would be an Evergreen Fund which Wade explains as “that money is invested it goes back into the fund,” for additional investment opportunities. Wade recently met with Representative Greg Davids of Preston, Minn., who “was the one that was instrumental, along with a lot of other great legislators, that made that Good Neighbor Policy possible,” states Wade and he was excited to announce that Davids will be partnering with them as Chair of the House Tax Committee to advance the Southern Minnesota Diversification Fund. It is a very exciting time in our region to have a regional economic development plan such as Journey to Growth and all of its volunteers working on behalf of everyone in the region.
