Rushford Village reviews frozen water policy By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com
As talk of frozen pipes loom in the area, still reminiscent of the great freeze of 2014, the Rushford Village City Council discussed the matter at length at the Tuesday, March 3 meeting. 2014 was notably a winter like no other and in the end the council made no official motion on the two related policies other than to note the circumstances which brought their adoption. “Last year was different. It wasn’t just one or two people,” explained Mayor Gordon Johnson. The policy for residents of the South Rushford Water District specifically speaks to continuous running of water to prevent frozen water pipes and is separate from a Frozen Water Reimbursement Policy that was adopted
February 27, 2014. The Village was quick to note that the fourpart process detailed in the first policy must be adhered to in order for the city to address issues. The steps include checking the temperature of water and contacting the Village office or Public Works directly for further temperature monitoring and prevention methods. The policy also specifically notes that frozen pipes may last into spring, stated as “into April, depending on the weather and how the spring thaw occurs” in the document. Furthermore, it states, “Although taking the steps in paragraph C does not guarantee that you will not experience frozen pipes, the above steps must be followed if you want to have the CRV (City of Rushford Village) assist with the cost of running the extra water
in an attempt to prevent freezeup of your water pipes.” This last paragraph was of particular concern as the council debated whether or not to continue to offer financial assistance in future instances. “I don’t know why we’d want to get into that if we don’t have to,” cautioned Councilor Dennis Overland. Typically, property owners are responsible for their water lines from the curb stop in. In 2014, the city assisted with the cost through the Frozen Water Reimbursement Policy, paying 50 percent of the actual cost incurred, not to exceed $1,000, for one freeze occasion. Payment was conditional upon proof of incurring the cost and after all insurance proceeds; a 50 percent reimbursement of the See FROZEN WATER Page 12

It was a crowded house Monday evening as several Lanesboro residents and business owners came to the Lanesboro City Council meeting to voice concerns over the new water rates. The state recently mandated Lanesboro do something to reduce the radium levels in their water. The answer is to build a treatment plant that will reduce the levels. In order to pay for this plant, the city received a loan from PFA (Public Facilities Authority). In order to qualify for this funding, the city had to change the way they bill for water usage and use an REU (Residential Equivalent Unit) system. Phil Dybing, President of the Lanesboro Golf Club board, spoke for the golf club and on behalf of many business owners about the difficulties they are all facing with the higher rates. The golf club, with its high water usage, now has a $900 a month
base rate for water. “This has put the businesses in real hard situations,” said Dybing. He added they will have to look for other alternatives to city water, which is something they would rather not do. Dybing feels the REU rate system will create even more difficulties down the road. If the golf club stops using city water, the rest of the community will have to absorb those costs in order to pay back the loan. “Bottom line is it isn’t good for anybody,” said Dybing. City Administrator David Todd explained the city worked at finding funding for the project. One grant from the Community Development Block Grant program required a survey from residents regarding their income. Lanesboro did not get enough responses to the anonymous surveys. They had to use the income average generated by the surveys that were received, and from that information, Lanesboro did not have a low enough median See WATER RATES Page 18
Doing things differently at Houston Schools? By A ngie Rodenburg angie@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The Houston school board held a meeting on March 3. Nearly half of the meeting was given to Houston high school principal Todd Lundberg as he discussed several ideas that resonated with him for doing things differently as far as education is concerned. Lundberg has been researching methods that seem to work for other schools. One thing that
Lundberg has begun this year is called “The Breakfast of Champions”. “This is a program that honors students that may not be “A” students, but are overall great students, that are doing the right thing and are going to be great citizens when they (graduate).” said Lundberg. Lundberg then began to discuss the relationship between grades and behavior. He gave the example of a student that turns in a piece of homework See HOUSTON Page 13

Budget surplus boomlet By Karen Reisner Minnesota Management and Budget Commissioner Myron Frans had some good news to announce in late February, reporting that the 2016-2017 budget surplus estimate had swelled to $1.87 billion. Just last December the estimated surplus was $1 billion. The announcement of very good news exposed more partisan divisions. House Speaker Kurt Daudt (R) insisted that the substantial increase in the budget surplus means that “Democrats can stop talking about a gas tax.” Republicans want to give a portion of the surplus back to taxpayers. Daudt insisted the surplus is evidence that tax rates should be lowered. Republicans also want to put a portion of the surplus toward transportation projects, opposing Governor Mark Dayton’s proposal to raise revenue designated specifically for a ten year transportation plan for 607 road and bridge projects statewide. Dayton maintained some of the surplus should be set aside for debt costs. He wants to use $850 million for public works construction. There is some agreement. Both sides want to spend a portion of the surplus on education and nursing homes. Transportation Dayton wants to raise the tax on wholesale gas which would raise the price per gallon
at the pump a dime or more depending on the price of gas. Other new revenue would come from an increase in license tab fees and an issuance of trunk highway bonds. He insists a “dedicated revenue stream” is necessary to assure funding for transportation improvements. Detail has been released recently from MnDot of estimated costs for Dayton’s list of road and bridge projects. His 10 year road and bridge plan calls for $6 billion to be raised over 10 years to fund 607 road and bridge projects (total projected costs range from $4.1 to $7.8 billion) Dayton’s plan is presented as future orientated creating a transportation system for expected population increases and economic growth. Minn. has 20,000 bridges and almost 150,000 miles of road. MnDot reports that over half of state roads are over 50 years old. To compound the problem of financing the maintenance and improvement of the system is the fact that less federal dollars are coming in for transportation and revenue from Minnesota’s current 28.6 cent per gallon gas tax has been dwindling thanks to more efficient vehicles. Republicans are looking at a much smaller, shorter term plan, $750 million over four years to be paid out of the budget surplus. They are expected to release a plan in the coming

Monday, March 9, 2015 weeks. About three-quarters of the projects listed by MnDot in Dayton’s ten year plan are in Greater Minnesota. There is only one project listed specifically in Fillmore County, 8.5 miles of road surface improvement on Highway 30 from Highway 74 to Highway 250 (estimated to cost between $2.5 to $3.8 million). Olmsted County has several projects listed including 12 miles of US 52 from Chatfield to I-90. This is an upgrade of a previously planned project (estimated project cost between $36.5 to $43.8 million). All counties are to receive a 25 percent increase in funding for roads and bridges. Education A Republican backed bill is working its way through the legislative process that will reduce the safety net for teachers with seniority. According to the bill, teacher performance evaluations should be given more weight than seniority when school districts are making layoff decisions. Senator David Tomassoni (DFL-Chisholm) argues that school districts, like corporations, will layoff their highest paid employees to bring in inexperienced and underpaid hires. However, the version of the bill in the Senate forbids school districts to look at teacher salaries when making layoff decisions. Others argue that the bill is premature as no standardized evaluation system has been developed. Dayton has a proposal to make available pre-kindergarten education for all four year olds. He also has proposed giving tens of millions to higher education institutions to allow freezes on tuition costs. Republicans have proposed an additional $455 million for education over two years. Other issues •A bill allowing law enforcement 90 days to retain location data from automatic license plate readers is facing challenges from those who believe it is an infringement on personal privacy. The bill is backed by law enforcement. •A bill to take redistricting decisions mostly out of the purview of legislators and putting these decisions in the hands of a non-partisan panel of judges has been introduced by Senator Kent Eken (DFL-Twin Valley). The intention is to de-politicize the redistricting process. •A proposal is being debated which would increase maximum truck load weight restrictions for all freight from 80,000 pounds up to 97,000 pounds on state and county roads. •Republicans back a bill that would exempt tipped workers from the minimum wage law, focusing mostly on food workers who receive tips.

C ommentary Leave the rest of us alone
By Stan Gudmundson Economist Tom Sowell in a recent interview noted that in 1838 Abraham Lincoln argued “that there are always people, if the opportunity presents itself, Col. Stan who will Gudmundson overturn this country’s whole basic structure for their own egos…there are people who are not going to be satisfied just to be a governor, or even a president. They want to be a world-changer, and unless the public is aware and alert to such people, and ready to oppose them, that’s how this country could end.” “Change you can believe in.” Just so. This is Obama in a nutshell. What is tragic is that there are innumerable and inexcusable defenders for the inexcusable behavior of this inexcusable man. In an editorial one fellow, who apparently has spent too much time reading fiction and playing with dangling participles in his former job as an English teacher, actually said that there is no evidence that Obama is violating or has violated the constitution. Even the average liberal would find this assertion hilarious. I’ll bet most would acknowledge that he has and is and are perfectly happy with that given that he is doing this “for our own good”. What was particularly rich was his assertion that the unsustainable Social Security and Medicare Ponzi schemes were programs to be proud of. And then, as is typical of most liberals, he claimed Democrat credit for some issues that were biparEditorial Cartoon
tisan. OSHA doesn’t count as its passage has done little to improve anything except to better the lifestyles of its bureaucrats. Well, obviously those whose faith is totally and completely invested in the lunacy of liberalism are tickled pink at the possibility of Hillary running for president. Let’s go back shall we, to review some of the encouraging words she has had for us. She said “(6/29/04) We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.” “(5/29/07) It’s time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, and for the few…and replace it with shared responsibility.” “(6/4/7) (We)…can’t just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people.” “(6/4/07) We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own…in order to create common ground.” “(9/2/05) I certainly think the free-market has failed.” So what the Democrats want is merely a change in color and a change in gender but all else will be the same. On my, that is so encouraging to know. In another editorial in the same edition of the newspaper another fellow had his shorts in a wad over the environment, population, and capitalism. He seemed to think there was some sort of alternative to the market system that sounded an awful lot like a command economy. Sorry Bubba but the Nazis and Communists already tried that. The result was millions and millions of dead people. And in the case of the Communists, environmental disaster.
There isn’t any other option to the market system even if a small group of people compile enormous riches. People of his ilk seem to believe that very wealthy folks just have piles and piles of money uselessly laying around and don’t have any skin in the game. But the fact is they do. The companies they own, the investments they make, and the money they spend create enormous numbers of jobs and additional wealth. One the most serious problems the world has is that the market system is too restricted and too small, not too large. As a typical environmentalist he was also deeply concerned about the size of the global population. The fact is this is not a problem at all. First, the birthrate in every area of the world is on the decline. Moreover, virtually every industrialized county isn’t reproducing at replacement levels. Some are so low in fact that their populations are in a death spiral from which they will not be able to recover. There will be Japanese, Germans, and Italians for some time but, if present trends continue, it won’t be long before the world will be speaking of many populations like these in the past tense. Given the lag in population ages however, the populations of the world will continue to grow for a time but then the reverse will be rapid. Concern about feeding the world and energy resources? All nonsense, not a factor. Two reasons. First, increases in crop yields will continue as technology advances. The second reason? The size of the area of the earth producing crops has much to do with the prices of those commodities. They can and do change dramatically. A “surge from 1972-73 to (a) price peak in 1981-82 triggered a global sup-
ply response that lured 243 million new harvested acres into production for 13 major crops…That’s the equivalent of creating another megaproducer the like the U.S. in less than a decade…Between 2005-06 and 2014-15…the same phenomenon repeated itself…(in which) the supply surge landed 157 million new harvested acres worldwide.” So says Marcia Taylor in Progressive Farmer. We will never remotely approach a point where there won’t be enough land to feed the world’s population. That is as long as there isn’t a catastrophic event that causes another ice age. And such an event will not be global warming. Even if it were true. And finally, energy. More than 10 years ago in a column I bet anyone $1000 that we would have more oil available today at cheaper prices then we did then. Lot of naysayers but only one taker. Factoring in inflation I won of course, I should have bet $10,000. I’ve also contended that the energy solution did not involve reducing oil consumption but rather in using a different source of energy. It ain’t wind, it ain’t solar, it ain’t ethanol, and it ain’t biodiesiel either. That solution requires a move to nuclear energy to include a breeder reactor. Ultimately nuclear fusion is the answer in Letter about Aaron Swartzentruber’s Letter to the Editor... To the Editor, Aaron Swartzentruber’s recent letter gives us insight into the mind of the fundamentalist, whether Christian or Muslim. These people pick and choose “God’s Word” to fit their agenda. For instance, does the average fundamentalist Christian follow “God’s Word” and never eat pig meat or shellfish? Does it trouble the fundamentalist that God time and again ordered thousands of murders and rapes in the Old Testament? And what of the story of the Great Flood? God is said to have drowned nearly all humanity and animals in a fit of rage. Who here is more consumed by evil, God or Satan? Who in their right mind would worship such a God? Luckily, as Christians, we do have someone to believe in: Christ. It is long past time to realize that the Bible was written by men and is the Word of Man, and the often crazed and sadistic God of the Old Testament is certainly not a creature to worship.Of course we should feel sorry for these fundamentalists who push their hatred upon others, but it’s not an easy task. Hatred is a disease that is easily spread. I felt hatred coursing through my veins by merely reading Mr. Swartzentruber’s vile letter. Greg Rendahl Ostrander, Minn.
our pursuit of eternal energy. And whadda you know? The Lockheed-Martin Company says that they will field commercial nuclear fusion systems within ten years. There are skeptics but I hope the skeptics are wrong. Sooner or later they will be. That’s where we need to go. Environmentalists and Ecowackos? You are wasting time, energy, and resources on a belief system that has more in common with a cult religion than it has to do reality. Find something better to do. Or at least, leave the rest of us alone.

C ommentary Learning to be a citizen By Lee H. Hamilton The question usually comes toward the end of a public meeting. Some knotty problem is being discussed, and someone in the audience Lee H. will raise his Hamilton or her hand and ask, “Okay, so what can I do about it?” I love that question. Not because I’ve ever answered it to my satisfaction, but because it bespeaks such a constructive outlook. Democracy is no spectator sport and citizens are not passive consumers. I’m always invigorated by running into people who understand this. But that doesn’t make answering the question any easier. The usual advice that politicians give is to vote, work for a candidate, let your elected officials know what you think, join an organization of likeminded citizens, and participate in community life. This is good counsel — but only as far as it goes. With a little more time now to answer the question, I’d add a few points. First, it’s important that citizens appreciate how hard it is to solve problems in a representative democracy. Every issue — even a stop sign at a corner — is more complex than it appears. The best way to learn this is to become an expert on a single topic. You can’t study every issue, but you can pick one and dig in, whether it’s a big problem like climate change or a smaller one, such as how to Letter about population... To the Editor, Last week’s editorial commentary on population came at just the right time for me to make a couple of comments. I had just returned from spending a few days in Atlanta. I was told the city and surrounding area contains as many people as the entire state of Minn. They seem to make it work with their six lane highways; that is six lanes one way and six the other. It is a great place to visit, but it’s good to be get back to Fillmore County. My mother told me of a memory she had from around 1900. Her father was in a discussion with other adults who were concerned that the way the population was growing there would not be enough food to feed everyone. She became concerned as a young girl. So, the population increasing or decreasing each year has its own set of problems. If you haven’t read the commentary from last week, go back and read it. Lots of food for thought. Paul Mathison Preston, Minn.
get food delivered to shut-ins in your community. Understanding and appreciating all aspects of the issue is the best way to see how and where you can make progress. It also makes you more patient with others — including elected officials — who are trying to resolve other thorny challenges. It’s also vital to learn that solving problems means working together with all kinds of people. It requires bringing different points of view together, developing connections to key players in your community, talking face-to-face with others who may not agree with you, and communicating your ideas effectively — including to the media. This is the surest way I know to understand differences, and to learn that these differences can exist without personal animosity. That, in turn, is a key step toward recognizing the common ground on which you can build agreement. Many of the people I know who answered the call of citizenship did so to resolve a specific issue: getting the railroad signal at a crossing to work; improving food labeling so diabetics could know how much sugar packaged food contains; improving a watershed to help a community manage its water supply. Sometimes, people want to address a situation they don’t like — what they consider to be over-spending, or a politician whose priorities they disagree with. Sometimes they just want to contribute to the direction and success of their community. There is a key lesson that comes from trying to solve a particular problem: it tends to make you less ideological and more pragmatic. It forces you to examine the options in front of you and the resources at hand to help you pursue them. You have to judge whether a given option can gather sufficient support in the community to go forward, and realize that you can’t solve everything; sometimes you have to put particular problems aside and come back to them another day, when circumstances have shifted. There are plenty of people who find all this frustrating and give up. Many others devote their lives to it, whether as community participants, engaged activists, or public servants. Pol-
itics is not a game for everyone, and there are many other ways to be involved in community life. Regardless of the avenue they choose, it’s the people who step forward who refresh this country and make it stronger. Our Constitution’s preamble begins, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union....” At heart, that’s what getting involved means: shouldering the challenges, sharing responsibilities and opportunities that democracy thrusts upon us as we pursue a more perfect union. That’s what I want to say to the people who ask, “What can I do about it?” The journey is hard and complicated, but it’s immensely satisfying. Few rewards can match your satisfaction when your fellow citizens thank you for a job well done. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University.

What? says: “He has been sustained through the huge challenges of the last six years by his passionate love of this country. He is not driven by ego or the desire for wealth and power” Executive Action - do those words ring any bells? He is all about power. hawkeye63 says: As usual, Yvonne wants to treat the symptoms rather than address the cause; American prisons are full because a significant portion of Americans’ have no moral compass. We no longer allow the teachings of Christianity in our public schools. Liberal policies have degraded the condition of the family to the point where many children are raised [ if that word even applies any more] in homes without a father and mother to teach them values. Nothing will improve until we as a nation recognize the necessity of a loving, moral family and that success and happiness cannot be attained without work ethic and a marketable skill no mater what color skin one has. Giving people things that belong to other people is not the answer. A hand up is commendable; a hand out is not the answer. Once upon a time, a political party existed who stood for morality and looked out for the little guy IF that person was willing to put in the effort. The standard bearer of that party urged patriotism by American Citizens. “ Ask not what your country can do for you! Ask what you can do for your country!” That party no longer exists; it has been highjacked by Billionaire Radical Secular Progressives like George Soros , and well meaning people like Yvonne are not astute enough to recognize what has happened. Fortunately, the only people who read her columns are those who agree with her and those who want to see what kind of nonsense she will come up with next. Nobody else can identify with the disjointed reasoning. That is a good thing Pursuing truth? says: By pursuing truth, are you referring to the IRS scandal or the Holder/guns scandal. How can someone be so disillusioned to believe this? If you take what political side you are on out of the equation, there is no way you would agree with him. He has taken on healthcare- yes my premium went up $260 a month for the same coverage, thanks. Taken on immigration- yes he is trying to give amnesty to everyone under the sun as a reward for them breaking our laws and being here illegally- thanks.

After reading this article I finally realize all you have done!
Joint meeting explores ways to improve Harmony BIG ISSUE says: One big issue is the terrible internet and cable - There are many people in Harmony that work from home for Mayo and have to use a “work around” to comply with terms for their employer - Harmony Cable does not offer dynamic IP’s, which Mayo requires for security. Employees are not allowed to hook up a router to Mayo equipment, but the suggestion from Harmony cable is to install a router behind the employers modem to generate a dynamic IP since theirs are static only for DSL, which is not nearly as secure. If this was known, these people would all lose their jobs. We personally would not ever buy a house in Harmony because the cable and internet is so bad, expensive, and no choices or improvements. Invest in things that young people care about or upgrade the infrastructure to allow DMC workers to work from home without putting their job at risk. ALSO, plow the damn streets! See more comments at

C ommentary Guest Commentary: Addressing Panko and Erding By Dan Terbeest After reading Mr. Panko’s reply to Mr. Erding’s commentary from a few weeks ago, I had to re-read Jeff’s letter. Mr. Panko is very close to putting words in Mr. Erding’s mouth that he never said. If you are going to accuse someone of “using Dan Terbeest unsupported statements of opinion, gross exaggerations and outright false allegations”, you better be basing that on his EXACT words, not getting fast and loose with his statements (which were largely statistics from reputable news organizations, left leaning at that) and twisting them into something that they were never meant to say. Jeff did not say the policies of the left always fail. He said they have the opposite effect of their intended consequences. Some of you may call this splitting hairs but unintended consequences and failure are not the same thing. Let’s take a look at Social Security and Medicare as examples of unintended consequences. Very few people will deny these programs have been beneficial. What are these programs worth to the people using them and the rest of the people financing them? Is it worth 800,000 dollars to you, your neighbors, and your family, each? According the U.S. debt clock the unfunded liabilities of SS, Medicare, and the prescription drug plan are about
811,000 dollars per taxpayer as of 3/4/2015. The numbers can be found here at this website http:// www.usdebtclock.org/. I am not making this up. To me, that looks like an unintended consequence! Someone has to pay this bill sometime. Let’s look at Social Security. As of a couple years ago the average working couple would pay in more over their lifetime than they collect from SS according to this article from Time http://business. time.com/2012/08/07/social-security-now-takes-more-than-it-gives/ unless something is done the fund will be insolvent in 2033, just 18 years away. Would you voluntarily pay into in investment knowing you will NEVER get it all back? I’m sure that was not the intention when it was created, another unintended consequence! Obamacare has more unintended consequences than I care to go into here so I think we can see a pattern developing. Mr. Panko wanted at least one example of liberals trying to circumvent the constitution. Be careful what you wish for. Remember the appointments to the National Labor Relations Board? The Senate was in session but the President deemed the Senate in ”recess” so he could make some appointments to that board that he knew would not pass Senate confirmation. By deeming the Senate recessed he could make the appointments and circumvent the whole constitutional process. The SCOTUS ruled against him 9-0. Even the Justices he appointed voted against him! I’m sure you remember but you can check
it out in the Washington Post here (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/supreme-courtrebukes-obama-on-recess-appointments/2014/06/26/e5e4fefa-e83111e3-a86b-362fd5443d19_story. html) In a related story, this this administration’s solicitor general has only won about 40% of the time when it goes to the SCOTUS for something. The average is about 70%. Normally the solicitor is nicknamed “the 10th Justice” because of their high success rate in the court. Not all of these cases involve circumventing the constitution but if you are only winning half much as you should, perhaps you don’t have the knowledge of the constitution that you should, or maybe you ARE just circumventing the constitution. According to The National Review, this President has lost more decisions in the Supreme Court by a 9-0 vote any other President in history and he still has two years to go! You can check it out here http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/381296/supremecourt-rules-unanimously-againstobama-12th-and-13th-time2012-john-fund. That is not a record we should expect from a Constitutional attorney! This does not count his threats or promises to take executive action if he doesn’t get his way. There could very easily be more 9-0 decisions in Obama’s future, or at least losing ones for sure! Mr. Panko wanted an example of a gun control organization that wanted to take away all guns. This request is a little unrealistic if not dis-ingenuous.

only about 180 degrees off of what you intended. You also disqualified Mr. Erding as knowing anything about race in this country because of where he lives. If that is the case how does your address, which is not that far from Mr. Erding’s, make you qualified to speak on the same subject? SOME things are best left to government, very few people, including me or Mr. Erding, will deny that. But when government tries to be all things to all people, things will inevitably be messed up big time. That is the “nanny state” Mr. Erding is talking about. If you want an example, let’s look at light rail. It’s supposed to relieve traffic and move people efficiently. I don’t think it’s done much for traffic, and if you consider the cost, it is not efficient. Fares don’t come anywhere near covering the cost, so how do we (the taxpayers) make up the difference? We skim off highway funds. That’s right, if you pay gas taxes or pay sales tax on a car in Minnesota AT LEAST 40% of that goes to “transportation” ,AKA light rail. The remaining goes into the highway fund. What’s the solution? Now that gas is temporarily cheap our Governor wants increased gas taxes! Another unintended consequence! If there were guarantees that ALL gas taxes go to roads and bridges I would be a little in favor but you know that in a “nanny state” money will be raided if it appears to be sitting unused. That’s the trouble with socialism…eventually you run out of someone else’s money to spend. (Margret Thatcher)
Where did this line of questioning come from? There are many organizations calling for total handgun bans. Many of these who even brag about the strategy as the start of a “slippery slope” eventually take all guns away incrementally; that would eventually include Mr. Panko’s hunting rifle. I’m sure you can find an organization that wants to take your hunting rifle away… you need to take a little initiative and check it out YOURSELF! This website has many quotes from politicians and organizations that call for a ban on ALL handguns http://gunscholar.com/ gunban.htm#politicians and the “slippery slope” strategy. After a little more research I found an organization that calls for the ban of ALL GUNS including YOUR HUNTING RIFLE MR. PANKO! It called The Daily Kos and they spell out a long drawn out process to ban ALL guns INCREMENTALLY! Here is the website if you want to check it out: http://www.dailykos. com/story/2012/12/21/1172661/How-to-Ban-Guns-A-step-by-steplong-term-process#. Mr. Panko, you need to practice what you preach - you accuse Mr. Erding of gross exaggerations and outright false allegations. Your story about the Ferguson police officer is not quite accurate. Yes, an officer allegedly said, “Let’s make it an all-black day,” however no one resigned. The officer that said that remark was terminated after several other officers complained according to this newspaper account. http:// blogs.riverfronttimes.com/dailyrft/2013/05/patrick_hayes_tim_ fitch_county_police.php.

It was one of the first bed & breakfasts in the area, enjoyed by guests from around the U.S. for more than 18 years. For several of those years, she also operated the Historic Lodge Inn in downtown Lanesboro. Amidst all her activities, Gloria’s family and home always came first. She was always there for her growing children and, in time, her grandchildren. She was a welcoming hostess, always ready with coffee and treats for children and adults alike. She shared her love of flowers and roses with her gardening, and her family will long remember and treasure her cooking and baking for family meals, gatherings and community events. Children and grandchildren alike will recall hours spent playing board games and doing puzzles with her. Gloria is survived by her loving husband of nearly 55 years, Charles; and her sons: David (Joan), Mark (Pam) and Eric (Kristi) all of Lanesboro and Paul (Sue) of Fairmont, Minn.

The city encouraged those with temperatures under 38 degrees to run water, but no one was required to pay additional water costs as the readings weren’t enough to change users’ rates beyond the minimum level. Two property owners have contacted the Village in 2015 with water temperatures at roughly 43 degrees, clearly above the freezing threshold. Attorney Tom Manion noted that the parameters were set in 2014 to provide consistency to those affected and because of the rare occurrences. “It was so rampant that we were automatically giving the benefit of the doubt.” The city made no official changes to the policies and will continue monitoring properties in the South Rushford Water District that have made contact with the city. In other news, the city made a slight modification to its Cell Phone Reimbursement Policy. In the past, the city had allotted $25 per month, paid quarterly, as a reimbursement to Public Works/Maintenance Director Bob Thieret. The amount has been increased to $30 per month, paid quarterly, for new Public Works Supervisor Travis Scheck, who is required to be accessible by phone in case of emergency. The next council meeting is Tuesday, March 17, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. There will be a public hearing during the meeting related to modifications to ordinances. The public is encouraged to attend.

County reviews 2014 feedlot report By Karen Reisner Feedlot officer Mike Frauenkron reviewed the 2014 year end Feedlot program report at the county board’s March 3 meeting. A letter from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency read that “Fillmore County performed exceptionally well in the number of feedlots inspected and had an inspection rate of 12.23 percent.” The county met all performance requirements in 2014. The county received a total of 158.94 performance credits. Frauenkron explained that the performance credits are linked to money received in the fall. A total of 161 inspections were completed. The more work completed the more incentive pay to be received by the county. The performance credits are tied to dollars per point as an incentive for extra work. The board approved a motion to authorize a signature on the report. Commissioners praised Frauenkron for his good work. Grant application approved A memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a grant application was approved. The MOU calls for a collaboration of the Women’s Shelter, Inc., Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services, Inc., and the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office. The application is for a OVW Fiscal Year 2015 Rural Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Program grant. There is no county financial obligation.

tion. Other business in brief •University of Minnesota Regional Extension Director Chuck Schwartau addressed the board about the permanent position of extension educator shared by Fillmore and Houston Counties. Extension educator Jerry Tesmer has decided to resign his permanent position due to illness. Commissioner Randy Dahl wanted to publically thank Tesmer for his years of service. Schwartau said he has been a real asset to our system and he will be missed. Chairman Duane Bakke extended thanks for everything Tesmer has done on behalf of the county board. Schwartau explained that the description for the position is being reviewed. It is getting toward the end of a three year agreement. Schwartau said it will help to get good candidates for the position if the board is in support of another long term agreement. He explained even with a three year agreement there is a 90 day out if needed. The board was in favor of continuing an agreement to have a shared position with Houston County. Schwartau estimated that there could be a new hire as early as May. A motion was approved to continue on with extension and to request they go out to hire a new extension educator. •Highway Engineer Ron Gregg requested approval to purchase a GPS distance meter from Microdynamics at a cost of $599. This GPS distance meter can be mounted on the dashboard of a vehicle and used for preliminary design out in the field. Gregg noted the county does have two distance meters now that are attached to an odometer. The cost will come out of budgeted funds for construction and equipment supplies. Approval was given to send an employee to Midwest University for a Professional Development conference for Autodesk Software users. The total cost will
be about $800. Gregg said it will keep this employee up to date on upgrades to be used for design work. Highway Committee recommended approval. •The low bid from Mavo Systems of $1,385 was approved to remove asbestos pipe insulation for installation of a new boiler at the county jail. County coordinator Bobbie Vickerman described some changes to be made in the coordinator’s area to make the area more secure. Cost is expected to be minimal as the area will be rearranged using the same furniture. She asked approval for two low cost items since they had not been budgeted. A bid from Haakenson Electric of $174.65 was approved to de-energize a cubical and replace with receptacles where the feed came from for the cubical. A second bid was approved from Distinctive Communications, Inc. at a cost of $435.26 to add a voice/data outlet for the coordinator’s office. •Ashley Rinn was hired as Merit Case Aide effective March 13. The board approved the hire of her replacement (Merit Office Support Specialist Sr.) from the current pool of candidates as recommended by the Personnel Committee. •Traci Corson was hired as replacement Social Worker effec-
tive March 27. •Bakke suggested Sentence to Serve (STS) should be used to do work around the county. Communities that have used STS services within the county do not pay the county. Sheriff Tom Kaase noted that divisions of the DNR which have been using the STS services have not paid the county recently. Dahl called STS a great program, adding we need to get with our legislators to get them working on this. •Kaase reported that 719 people have signed up for Code Red, the emergency alert system. It is paid for out of 911 funds and costs the same with the current number of people or more people. Bakke suggested they have a public relations campaign especially in campgrounds where there are flooding issues. •At a February 3 county board meeting a contract with Professional Engineering Services for design and construction administration services for hangar expansion at the Fillmore County Airport was approved. Bakke explained that the plan may be in jeopardy, calling it a huge thing. There is a new regional supervisor who has a different interpretation of the guidelines which may not allow the expansion to occur where planned. Because of the lay of the property, moving the expansion farther from the runway will require considerable fill.

HOUSTON
Continued from Page 1 late. In many schools, the student would receive no credit, even if all of the answers are correct. In this case, says Lundberg, the teacher is grading the student’s behavior, rather than grading the student on the basis of understanding the information or not. Lundberg added that, while Houston is not at this point yet, some schools have given students two separate grades; one for comprehending the material and one for “citizenship behavior,” as Lundberg called it. Lundberg also went on to discuss a Credit Recovery Program that the school is planning to implement. Currently, if a student fails a class, they must repeat the class or take summer school. Lundberg plans to implement a program that will allow a student to log extra hours with a teacher, going over the missed
material, and if they spend the proper amount of time, they can get those credits back. “A lot of times it’s not much that they failed,” emphasized Lundberg. So, rather than spending their summer going over the whole class, they would be able to focus on the parts that they struggled with. Though they have the possibility to earn their credits back, the failure will still stay on the transcript for GPA purposes. After asking for some clarification on certain issues, the board showed appreciation for Lundberg’s passion and willingness to think outside of the box. “I have (seen) districts that have done this, and that can be very good, but very disruptive,” commented board member Michaeleen Bonner. “Change is that way sometimes,” added board member Kevin Kelleher. “I thank you for taking that
Monday, March 9, 2015 challenge on and considering it,” clarified Bonner. “Because I think that’s a good conversation to have.” The board continued a discussion that started in the Feb. 17 meeting concerning school board goals for Superintendent Krin Abraham. Abraham has spent the past nine months working on goals she has set for herself, but the board recognized the need to give Abraham expectations of their own to work towards. Board members were not sure how to proceed with writing up these goals, however. “Is this just going to be two people (writing up goals) or a committee?” asked ViceChair Gary Wilson, citing precedent from the past where Wilson and Chairperson Tom Stilin wrote the goals for the previous superintendent. “I think the board needs to decide what we should have in it,” added board member Mimi

Carlson, to which the board agreed. “It has to be a collaboration,” said Bonner. The board then decided that the process will begin with a few board members sitting with Abraham, and will write up the first draft of goals. Wilson, Stilin, and Carlson volunteered to take this initiative and write up goals. The board didn’t arrive at a timetable, however they noted that this isn’t a project that needs to be rushed. “This is moving along (the right) path…. and in my mind, it doesn’t need to be done in the next meeting,” added Bonner. The council ended by reviewing their Life and LongTerm Disability Insurance. Abraham presented her findings from National Insurance Services that guaranteed savings of 20 percent. She cited other local area schools that were satisfied with this company, to which Kelle-

her asked to make contact with those schools. After discussion, Kelleher motioned to move forward with going through NIS on the contingency that he first contacts three school districts using NIS, and find that they are satisfied with them. The board voted unanimously in the affirmative. The next regularly scheduled board meeting will be on Tuesday, March 17 at 6 p.m. at the Houston High School Library.

Fillmore County Sports State Wrestling: Friederichs Finishes Fantastic Career #1 0-1. A re-match loomed, until Erpelding downed Brockhoff (quarters). In the end, with two individual state titles and those 200 wins, Hank has household bragging rights. He and brother Harvey (2014 graduate) are onetwo on Chatfield’s all-time win list. Three of Friederichs’ teammates also placed. Jared Goldsmith (#1 at 120), last year’s state runner-up at 113, started with pin. He then fell (5-3) in the quarters to #3 Michael Suda (36-1) of Pipestone on very late third period takedown. Three straight wins (pin, 11-4, 8-6) put Goldsmith again faceto-face with Section 1A title foe #2 Joey Majerus (44-3) of Z-M. Goldsmith jumped out 5-1 and won 8-3 to take third place. The senior finishes the year 43-4. Jake Mandt (#8 at 132) competed at one of the most stacked weights. He faced four ranked opponents, four 30-win seniors. He won his first bout 5-3. In his second, Crookston’ #3 Cody Weiland (32-2) led 3-0 in the third period. Mandt then made the semis by turning the tide, winning 4-3 with a late takedown. Back-to-back losses (7-1, 3-2) to ranked opponents #2 Blane Tschida (44-2, Kimball Area) and #6 Joe Fischenich (35-6, W/ML) put Mandt in his final match. Against #7 Grant Jepson (35-9, Frazee), the super frosh jumped out 5-0, then survived a four-point Granby Roll to prevail 5-4, to take fifth place. Chatfield’s lone state underclassmen finishes at 42-4. Senior Ian Morrison (#6 a 220) made the semis (7-4, 1-0). He then lost three straight matches (4-2, 3-2, 8-4), to #1 Dillon Card (111, Bertha-Hewitt/Verndale), #4 Tanner Templin (33-5, Black-
duck/Cass Lake-Bena), and #3 Jered Welch (35-9, Wabasso/ Red Rock Central). He made the medal stand, finishing sixth (32-11). Chatfield’s other two entrants, Jacob Bleess and Logan Karver had shorter tourneys. Bleess (#3 at 195) lost 6-3 and that was that. The senior finishes at 36-5. Karver (285) got two cracks at it (lost by pin and 13-7). He finishes at 16-9. On the AA side, GMLOKS senior Wyatt Richardson (#2 at 195) was the only county placer. He started with a pin, then a 3-1 win over Big Lake’s #8 Wyatt Juhl (33-9). In a semifinal 1-versus-2 match-up of undefeated’s, Richardson fell 13-1 to Totino Grace’s nationally #1 ranked, eventual state champ, Lance Benick (43-0). Back-toback close wins (4-3, 4-2) over #6 Jordan Torber (40-3, Mora) and Juhl (again) gave Richardson a second state 3rd place finish. He finishes at 37-1. Bulldog sophomore Blake Benson (#7 at 85) beat one ranked wrestler, but fell by decision to two others. He finishes at 30-5. Bulldog junior Parker Hale (#5 at 152) lost a 12-11 decision and that was that. He finishes at 32-5. LARP’s sole entrant, senior Andrew Knapcyzk (195) went 0-2. He finishes at 24-8
R-P Deja-Vu’s FC
The last time FC’s boys played R-P in a sub-section game (2013 semifinal), the Trojans led just 27-23 at halftime. Then R-P used a big mid second half run to take control, to prevail 65-47. The last time the teams played, FC again stayed close with #1 R-P for a half (36-28). Then another big Trojan run, a 73-48 victory. In this year’s 1A East semifinal, the Falcons (12-15) stayed close with the Trojans (26-1) for a half,

riding sophomore Drew Tienter’s FT touch (8-8 FT’s, 12 points). Only a late three put R-P in the lead at the break, 32-29. Then deja-vu times three. Cole Kingsley authored a trio of strong driving scores, Charlie Krambeer a pair of three’s, and Matt Culhane a pair of bunnies. R-P went 16-2 out of the intermission (48-31). Kyler Paulson got active (13 second half points). The Trojans moved on to another 1A East final with a 70-48 victory. Paulson (17 pts, 8-9 FG’s, 8 rebs), Kingsley (15 pts, 7-12 FG’s, 5 assists), and Krambeer (15 pts) led team green. Nick Mensink (15 pts, 9 rebs), Tienter (13 pts, 9-10 FT’s, 6 rebs), and Kiel Larson (11 pts, 3-5 three’s) led FC. R-P went 4 of 20 from deep, their worst night of the season. They did hit 26 of 44 two’s (59.1%). Twenty-five turnovers doomed FC. They finish at 12-16. King Rindels’ Knights of the Upset Table It’s been an up and down year for Kingsland boys basketball. However, for one night in Rochester, the Knights ruled the day. John Fenske’s guys put on a royal performance everyone won’t soon forget. Their best player topped a huge personal milestone in the midst of a career night. The team rose from depths of certain defeat, to not just make things even, but have the perseverance to pull through and pick up a huge upset victory. Kingsland (3-seed, 13-14) took on Spring Grove (2-seed, #6 in A, 24-3) in the other 1A semi. The Lions came in winners of 11 straight. Devoid of their best player Chase Grinde, SG also beat the Knights in December 67-50. After a good start by Kingsland

By Paul Trende There really wasn’t anything else that would’ve been a fitting end. Chatfield’s Hank Friederichs entered the 2015 state individual wrestling tourney having done it all on the mats and elsewhere. Fifth place in state as a frosh. The Trende Report Third place in state as a sophom o r e . Individual state champion as a junior. Team state champion Paul Trende twice (football and wrestling) as a junior. Chatfield wrestling’s all-time leader in wins. Winning a fourth state championship to close out his senior year, the only two-time Chatfield individual champ, while notching a rare career win milestone; check those too. Hank is the 2015 145-pound state champion. The #1 guy at his weight got to the semifinals via 10-3 and 3-0 (#7 Jerod Novak of Aitkin) wins. Versus Staples-Motley’s Alex Erpelding (38-5), Friederichs led 4-1 in the third only for Erpelding to pull even (4-4). Hank then notched a reversal. Leading 6-5, he rode out the final 30 seconds for the win. It put him in the finals versus #3 Jared Willaby (42-4, Windom/ Mountain Lake). Friederichs scored a late second period reversal (2-0). He then rode out most of the third for the 2-1 win. It was number 200 of his career (22 losses), his 43rd this year (1 loss). The defeat came to Sibley East’s Austin Brockhoff to start the season. The state champ was once
(14-8 lead), and a bad start by Grinde (1-7 FG’s), the favored Lions turned the tides. Led by a red-hot Grinde (8-12 FG’s), the Grove went on a 20-1 run. They led by as many as 16 (40-24) in the first half, 40-29 at halftime. Grinde had 23 points. The Knights bright spot was senior guard Jacob Rindels. With a late half jumper, the 6’0” three-year starter reached 1,000-points. It looked to be Kingsland’s ‘moral’ victory of the evening. SG started the second half 12-2, Alex Engelhardt hitting a trio of three’s. They built a 52-31 lead (13:00). It was a 62-44 lead with under ten left. Then mercurial Kingsland found a celestial peak. They went unconsciousness, sword-slashing the Lions with each and every made basket in a ridiculous 10 for 11 shooting span. Included was a string of five made three’s over six possessions, a span where Kingsland scored 20 points over eight possessions! With SG faltering (4-12 FT span), it equaled a four-minute 20-2 run! Two Rindels baskets tied the game (64-64; 5:31)! Kingsland, courtesy of a Rindels three, then went up 71-67 (3:00). Down the stretch, they warded off each SG push. After a Grinde bucket (72-70; 1:21), a Rindels bucket (74-70). After an Elliot Cross three (74-73; 1:00), two Brennen O’Connor free throws (76-73). After two Engelhardt throws (76-75; 0:39), Rindels throws (78-75). With 30 ticks left, Grinde pulled SG to down 78-77. O’Connor missed a pair of freebies (0:24), but little used Lion 8th grader Alex Folz (0 pts) wound up taking, and missing, an open 8-footer. Rindels rebounded and split two at the line (79-77). In the final 7.9 seconds, Engelhart went the distance, but missed a short toughie. The Knights secured See SPORTS Page 17

the rebound, and an implausible 80-77 upset win! Rindels tallied a career-high 34 points (12-21 FG’s, 8-12 FT’s, 12 rebs, 3 stls), 26 in the second half. Senior Isiah Bubany was mighty helpful (6-10 three’s, 18 pts). Quinn Larson (14 pts, 3-6 three’s, 5 rebs, 5 assists) helped out. Grinde (31 pts, 11-26 FGs’ 7 rebs, 6 stls, 5 blks) and Engelhardt (21 pts, 8-15 FG’s, 3-5 three’s, 5 rebs, 5 assists) led SG. The Knights scored 51 second half points (8-15 three’s, 16-32 FG’s)! It is easily the biggest come-frombehind and upset win in the FCJ Sports era. Trojans Boys Win Another East Title It would’ve been asking a lot of Kingsland (14-14) to follow up one upset (SG) with a greater one (R-P). The Trojans (27-1) entered the 2015 1A East title game winners of 50 of their last 53 sub-section tourney contests. They entered ranked #1 in state, on a 23-game win streak, and having beaten Kingsland 65-44 in January. Then the Knights’ already tall task got skyscraperesque. Late in the first half, trailing by seven (25-18), their leading scorer Jacob Rindels took a hard spill. In his absence an immediate 7-0 Trojan spurt (32-19), and later, a 39-25 halftime lead. Rindels spent the second half on the bench (concussion). Trojan third-year senior guards Charlie Krambeer, Alex Vix, and Cole Kingsley collectively dominated. Krambeer (23 pts, 4-7 three’s, 5-8 FG’s, 9-9 FT’s) and Vix (20 pts, 8-12 FG’s, 3-4 three’s, 7 rebs, 4 stls) put up season-highs. It is the first time this season R-P has had two 20-point scorers, 20-point scorers two and three on the year. Dead-eye Krambeer eclipsed 1,000 career points, on
a three-pointer naturally. He has 260 makes in 94 career games. Kingsley (8 pts, 4 rebs, 7 assists, 3 stls) ran the show. Tom Vix’s Trojans coasted to an 80-51 victory. They’ve won 16 of the last 19 sub-section titles. They’ll rematch with Goodhue in the Section 1A title game. R-P (28-1) beat the Wildcats 60-41 in February. Quinn Larson (15 pts, 6-7 FT’s, 5 rebs, 4 assists) and Isiah Bubany (14 pts, 4-9 three’s) led the Knights. Kingsland’s 14-15 campaign ends with 1A East runner-up hardware. They graduate a 10-man senior class that includes Rindels.

In a 1AA East semifinal, Chatfield’s boys trailed #2 Caledonia 29-27 at the half, before the Warriors ramped it up to win 74-62. The Gophers’ season ends at 14-13. In girls pigtail play-off games, M-C downed Schaeffer (Courtney Graves career-high 19) and Houston downed Hope (Kelly Jerviss 27 pts, 20 rebs). The quarters offered up no surprises. FC (16-11), 1A-East’s top seed, jumped out on Houston 43-8 at halftime and prevailed 63-36. The Hurricanes finish the year 7-20. R-P (13-11), the two-seed, jumped out on M-C 32-12 and prevailed 59-44. The Cougars finish the year 10-18. Chatfield (23-3), 1AA-East’s two seed, took down La Crescent 67-26. Back in 1A East, 5-seed Kingsland fell at 4-seed W-K 54-44. The Knights finish at 6-21. Six-seed Lanesboro fell at 3-seed SG, despite Olivia Haug’s double-double (23 pts, 17 rebs). They finish at 13-14. The Burros were 0-3 versus the Lions this year. The three losses were by 18 total points. SG won each of the previous ten meetings by at least 21.

average income to qualify for the grant. Todd said he sent out three rounds of surveys to residents and put ads in the newspapers. It was sent to all residents of Lanesboro, but there are some business owners that do not live in Lanesboro. Dybing said they were all there to solve the problem, not put the business owners against the city council. He just felt the city should take another look at what they are doing and come up with something else they can all work with. He asked them to take another look at it and consider the problems that it’s causing the residents. Todd reminded everyone that the Public Utilities Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over their rates. The city council has no authority to make those decisions, so it’s up to the PUC to make any changes. He explained

the PFA financing is the best the city could find. They are giving the city a one percent interest rate over 30 years, with $1.3 million in principle loan forgiveness. If they do away with the REU rate system, all of that is off the table. Dybing asked if there could be a cap on how much has to be paid. Rushford uses the REU system and they have a cap. Todd explained Rushford chose to go with the REU system and they do not have a loan to pay off with that money. The rates will fluctuate, as usage is reexamined every year and things will have to be rearranged as time goes on. Julie Charlebois, owner of Riverside on the Root, asked what would happen if the golf club went on their own for water, if other residents would have to reabsorb those costs, and Todd said yes. “The residential is going to go astronomical,” said Charlebois. “Didn’t anybody think of this?” Dybing said he had no doubt the
city had the best of intentions with this plan, and understands their hands were tied, but would like to come up with a way to stay on city water. When asked what the council members felt about this, Tom Dybing responded. “We didn’t have a choice in the matter,” he said. “It takes a certain amount of money and it has to be spread out. We had to do it.” Charlebois asked what kinds of fines the city would have to pay if they chose not to reduce their radium levels. City Attorney Tom Manion said different areas had paid different amounts for fines, but he was sure paying a fine wouldn’t make the problem go away. Kathy Kasten, owner of Another Time Ice Cream Parlor and Chocolates, suggested they spend their time moving forward instead of going over what can’t be changed and see if they can come up with something that can work outside of the REU. She wondered if there were other

There was an agreement that getting people to move to Lanesboro would help offset some of the costs.

Others were worried this new rate structure would lead to a loss of businesses. Public Utilities Coleman presented the council with bids for three components of the water treatment project. This part of the project was bid separately in a new financing year in order to qualify for more principle forgiveness. Coleman said the money has already been accounted for with the rate structure. This will allow them to qualify for $597,608.45 in loan forgiveness, possibly more. The first component is for the Parkway water main extension, the second is the turbine pump, and the third is the well abandonment. The total balance is $238,588.29, but it could end up being lower. The motions to approve were passed, with councilor Tom Smith voting against all three. Coleman also reminded the council the city will be building a new wastewater treatment plant in four years. They have received a $30,000 grant from the USDA for the feasibility study. Ambulance New Ambulance Director Deane Benson asked the council for permission to pay a third person to be on-call for the ambulance runs. The ambulance department recently received a grant for a 12-lead heart monitor. Benson said it is a lifesaving asset for the department, as they can get vitals in the first ten minutes and send the readings to Mayo Clinic. Having a third person on-call will help out a lot, and Todd said the budget will support it. The council approved. The council also approved the request to allow the ambulance to create a non-profit status. This would allow them to hold fundraisers and apply for more grants. Heritage Preservation Commission Todd said the HPC is still working with Merchants Bank on coming up with an agreement about their sign. For several months now, the HPC has been trying to get them to change their sign to meet the Heritage Preservation policies, and Merchants Bank has refused. Todd said they are now offering Merchants certain concessions, such as allowing them to retain the plastic panels, take the internal lighting out, and allowing them to keep the ATM part of the sign. There has been no response from Merchants yet.
Todd also stated there is currently a positon open on the HPC board if anyone is interested in joining. Chamber of Commerce Dee Slinde reported the Chamber received a small grant for new decorations from TriCounty Electric. She also said the Parkway Pub has now been renamed High Court Pub. Economic Development Authority Councilor Jason Resseman said the Lanesboro EDA is reaching out to the Rochester EDA about their Rochester Area Journey to Growth Plan in the hopes of working together as DMC (Destination Medical Center) broadens out over the area. Resseman also reported the EDA met with Steve Snyder, the Lanesboro School Board EDA liaison to discuss marketing of Lanesboro. The EDA is working on a welcome letter to new businesses encouraging them to become a part of the EDA. They are also working on marketing for real estate, and each member of the EDA is taking on outreach projects. Resseman encouraged others to come to the EDA meetings, which are held the first Wednesday of the month at 5:30 p.m. Peddler’s permit At the February meeting, the issue of a peddler’s permit was brought up the council. Jim Watson spoke to the council about having an ice cream bike in town, and there was a question about the city right-of-way. City Attorney Tom Manion had some concerns about traffic, distance from other businesses, and visibility. The council chose not to act on the item during this meeting, but tabled it until they can find out what other cities have done in similar situations. Bunny Trail The council approved going ahead with the Bunny Trail project. They applied for an Outdoor Recreation grant with 10 percent matching from the city to pay for the project, but they will be going ahead with it even if the grant is not approved. There have been a lot of volunteers and donations made, and the group that put the trails in Rushford has volunteered to build the trail for free. The trail will go around the Church Hill property, and there will be an accessible path made for those who don’t want to climb the stairs. Other business The Local Board of Adjustment and Equalization meeting will be April 13 from 5:30-6 p.m. The purchase of a Case tractor for the street department was approved at $29,400. The council approved the following items: •A temporary on-sale liquor license for the Lanesboro Fire Relief. •A liquor license and gambling permit for the Turkey Federation. •Temporary on-sale liquor license for the Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce.

Commonweal Theatre Apprentice Company Presents MARY’S WEDDING LANESBORO, MINN. —The Commonweal Theatre Company proudly presents the capstone production of the 2014 Apprentice Company, Mary’s Wedding playing March 19 through March 29. From Canadian playwright Stephen Massicotte, Mary’s Wedding tells the story of a young couple named Charlie and Mary who are falling love. Their blossoming relationship, however, is tested when Charlie is called to defend his country at the onset of World War I. The couple promise to write each other every day, but when letters are not enough, they are able to transcend reality and come together again in Mary’s dream. The play asks what it can mean to truly love someone. Commonweal Resident Ensemble Member Megan K. Pence will direct. “We found this script to be very timely,” says Pence, “seeing as it is one of the centennial years of the First World War. It’s rare to find
a piece that features a first-hand account of war and yet blends it so seamlessly with a love story that you almost forget that war is even a part of the backdrop. The play exists as a dreamscape, which gives us a lot of freedom to play around with conventions and we’re excited to bring our audiences on an imaginative journey where time and space coalesce as they experience Mary and Charlie’s relationship both backwards and forwards.” The current Commonweal Apprentice Company features Vincent Hannam and Anna Lee Murray, both of whom appeared in Arcadia last season. The cast of Mary’s Wedding will comprise the duo, with Murray as not only the eponymous Mary Chalmers, but also as Lieutenant Gordon Flowerdew (based on the real-life Canadian war hero). Hannam is cast as Mary’s lover and innocent soldier, Charlie Edwards. Ashley Willingham, a member of the 2015 Apprentice Class, leads the
production team as stage manager with Commonweal company members Gary Danciu as sound designer and Thomas White providing lighting design. The production’s costumes and props are being designed by Hannam and Murray, respectively. The Commonweal Theatre’s Apprentice Program is a tenmonth commitment designed for recent college graduates or
young professionals with commensurate experience who would benefit from a prolonged relationship with a small professional theatre company. Focused primarily on experiential learning through a traditional mentor/apprentice relationship, the program affords artistic opportunities, regular classroom instruction, and administrative responsibilities in the areas of
Local electric co-op board makes voices heard in St. Paul RUSHFORD, MINN. -- TriCounty Electric Cooperative’s (TEC’s) Board of Directors and staff met with legislators recently in St. Paul to discuss some of the challenges in the electric industry and to offer solutions that can benefit the members of the notfor-profit utility. “Last month we shared with the membership a few key issues: net metering laws, third party
sales and stray voltage,” explained Brian Krambeer, TEC president/ CEO. “We are fortunate to have great support by our local elected officials Representatives Gene Pelowski and Greg Davids along with Senator Jeremy Miller.” Krambeer explained that the cooperative would like to see changes that continue net metering, but allow sizing of distributed generation systems to be based

on the electric load at the service or customer site. The current 40 kilowatt limit encourages oversizing of the distributed generation systems, which requires the electric cooperative to purchase excess energy at retail rates. “We believe net metering is for netting existing energy use and not to be used as a revenue stream to have neighbors or other members of the cooperative pay a higher price for power,” Krambeer says. Directly related to distributed generation is third party sales. Electric cooperatives are concerned about indirect use of their existing electric distribution system for third party sales. It would be a change to the regulatory structure in Minnesota and could threaten reliability and affordability of electricity to members of the cooperative. The third item of stray voltage has the electric industry looking to clarify and define who is considered to be an expert witness in court cases involving the subject matter. “When the integrity of a distribution system is being reviewed this should be done by someone who is an expert in the field, such as an electrical engineer and by a master electrician at the premises,” Krambeer says. “We feel they should also be licensed in the state. Right now, the rules don’t define who an expert is.” Krambeer says electric cooperatives in Minnesota are working to assemble a coalition of agriculture groups such as the Dairy Association, Beef Producers and Farm Bureau to develop a guide
for addressing stray voltage questions and practices for resolving possible occurrences. “This approach was used in Iowa in 2014 and is proving to be very successful,” Krambeer says. TEC is a member-owned electric distribution cooperative serving three counties in Minnesota including: Winona, Houston and Fillmore and parts of Olmsted and Mower counties in Minnesota and Howard, Winneshiek and Allamakee counties in Iowa. It provides electricity to more than 13,000 services in the area. TEC is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative.
Marketing, Development, and Production. Funding for Commonweal Theatre’s programming is provided in part by a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, through an appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature, a grant from the McKnight Foundation, and private funders. All performances are at the Commonweal Theatre located at 208 Parkway Avenue North in downtown Lanesboro. Tickets are $20 with a student discount available upon request.

Star Trek in today’s culture
tion with each other, just like modern day Skype. Star Trek can also claim credit for much of the mobile technology used today. One of the most notable items used in Star Trek is their communicators. They were small enough to fit in a pocket and one just had to flip it open and they could talk to someone else. Does it sound familiar? The cell phone had been designed to be almost the exact same. It started out big and bulky, but one could carry it around and talk to people. Eventually it turned into a “flip-phone” and people were abuzz about how incredible it was because it was almost the exact same as the communicators used in Star Trek. It does not stop there. Other technologies like tablets and “Google glass” can also be seen in at least one of the Star Trek series episodes or movies. The only difference is that Star Trek was using them around fifteen years before the technology was advanced enough to actually create such inventions. Star Trek has also had a presence in the medical field. Before the show started, doctors used to have to read handwritten charts depicting a person’s vitals. In the show the doctor could look at a screen that showed the same thing, only more accurate and always based off of how they were at that time … not two minutes ago. Today different devices that are connected to a patient to read their vital signs are standard in any hospital room. Without Star Trek, those devices might not have existed until later and people could have died because of it.
By Jeremiah Munson On Friday, February 27, 2015, the world lost a cultural icon. Leonard Nimoy, the actor who portrayed Spock in Star Trek, died at the age of 83. Some people might argue that Spock was not a large cultural Jeremiah icon, but Munson many people would disagree. Whether or not the individual was an icon, the television series and movies that Spock was a part of have had a huge impact on today’s culture. Many basic devices that people take for granted today were based off of gadgets from Star Trek. You might not realize it, but basic computer monitors came from Star Trek. In the series, the characters had little monitors at their stations. If one looks close enough they will notice that they look almost exactly the same as an old computer monitor. When the show aired from 1966 to 1969 computers were mostly taking up the space of a small room. The idea of a monitor for a computer that could fit fairly easily in any family home was just starting to be kicked around. Also, online chat rooms and “face time” such as Skype or Google chat over computer were first introduced through Star Trek. If one has watched enough Star Trek then they will remember Captain Kirk getting hailed from another ship and that captain’s face and background appearing on the screen. They could then have a conversa-

I have saved this next thing for last. I believe that of all of the gadgets listed; this one is the most over-looked of all. This one is so mundane and ordinary today, but was inspired by Star Trek and has been helping people quite a bit ever since it was created. The last gadget on this list is automatic doors. Doors that open up before you get to them and you do not have to open yourself. Everyone has encountered these when they go grocery shopping. I cannot think of a grocery store or even most stores in general, that do not have automatic doors at their entrance. They are so overlooked today, but started out as another futuristic technology in the original Star Trek series. Everyone has used an automatic door before and it has probably been very helpful more than once when you have large amounts of groceries and you could not open up a regular door. Star Trek has changed the world around us. It has helped influence our modern culture through its ground-breaking technological ideas and mechanisms. In true Vulcan nature, Spock would not want us to mourn his death. As humans, we cannot help but be sad that the man who has portrayed Spock in every instance of Star Trek has died, but the legacy of his character and the series he was a part of will be felt for generations to come. Jeremiah Munson is a student at Rushford-Peterson High School. He is one of five area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its sixteenth year.

Preston Foods loading dock
By Karen Reisner In a relatively brief meeting of the Preston City Council on March 2, a variance request from Brad Hoiness on behalf of Rush Properties was granted to build a loading dock back of the Preston Foods grocery store. Planning and Zoning at a February 25 public hearing had recommended approval of the variance. The variance will allow a setback of 4 feet instead of the 20 feet required in the commercial downtown zone. The loading dock addition will be 10 feet by 25 feet. It will match the existing setback. F & M Bank in a letter expressed support of the variance. Police Chief Matt Schultz did not think it would affect safe travel in the alley. City administrator Joe Hoffman noted the new loading dock will lesson the time that the street and alley are blocked during deliveries. Public hearing There were no comments from the public during a hearing on the nuisance removal of a tree. A dying tree located on 103 Valley St. W property was discussed at a February 2 Tree Board meeting. The Tree Board recommended removal of the tree.

removal of the tree with the cost to be assessed in full against the property was approved. Jim Bakken, Public Works, expects the cost of removal to be between $500 and $1,000. Other business in brief •Tom Burke requested that the two lots he has purchased in Golfview Estate be consolidated. The lots are located on the north side of the intersection of Overlook Lane and Overlook Drive. He said his family plans to build a house this year. With a 40 foot by 40 foot attached garage the planned home will be long and fit more easily across the two lots which make up just short of one acre. His request was approved. •Approval was given for the city to hire a summer helper to assist with maintenance work, including cutting grass and weeds, spraying, painting curbs, and filling potholes. Bakken said the city cost for the summer helper was just over $3,000 last year. The city has budgeted $5,000 for the summer hire. The city Utility also hires a summer helper.

Recycling 101 By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator Most of you who read these Recycling 101 articles are interested in recycling trends and how you can improve your recycling habits. My goal as I write these articles is to assist you LaVerne C. Paulson doing that and let you know why recycling is so very important to all of us. If a lot of the following sounds familiar, this is a recycled article from 2010 that I feel some of you will find interesting once again. There is, however, some new stuff thrown in along the way. The Recycling Association of Minnesota, Recycle Across America, Recycle More Minnesota, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency have shared this information with me and I will now pass a few bits and pieces on to you. Minnesota has one of the highest recycling rates in the nation. You have to feel good about that. Minnesota’s recycling rate is in the forty-five percent area, well above the national average. Our goal is to get to fifty percent in the next few years which is very possible if the people of Fillmore County and the rest of the state make a serious effort to improve their recycling habits. Here are a few bits of information for you to ponder in your spare time. Five plastic bottles can be recycled to provide enough fiber to create one square foot of carpet or enough fiber to fill one ski jacket. Americans throw away two and a half million plastic bottles every hour. In 1976, each American drank about one and one-half gallons of bottled water. That number is now near-
ing thirty gallons. Recycling one ton of plastic bottles saves the equivalent energy usage of a two person household for one year. At the present time, only twelve percent of plastic bottles are recycled. Americans throw away enough office paper each year to build a twelve foot high wall from Seattle to New York. Recycling a stack of newspaper three feet tall saves one tree. More than 37% of the fiber used to make new paper products in the United States comes from recycled sources. Recycling one ton of cardboard saves 46 gallons of oil. Over 90% of all products shipped in the US are shipped in corrugated boxes, which totals more than 400 billion square feet of cardboard in a year. That amount of cardboard would cover the entire area of Fillmore County more than sixteen times, and would be two and one-half inches thick. That is a lot of cardboard and a lot of trees if recycled material is not used. The recycling of clothing is also important. The Salvation Army clothing bins here at the Recycling Center continue to fill frequently. However, we are still seeing usable clothing in the landfill garbage. Please remember, any clothing can be donated as long as it is clean and dry. Torn or stained clothing is acceptable. You can also donate clean bedding, linens, towels, curtains, and throw rugs along with wearable shoes, belts, and purses. Please spend some time thinking about these facts and figures. Visit with your neighbors and share some of this information with them to show your interest in recycling and the environment. Make recycling part of your conversation while having coffee. The outcome may surprise you. That fifty percent rate in Minnesota will be attained with your help.
When you buy from a mom or pop business, you are not helping a ceo buy a third vacation home. you are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a mom or dad put food on the table, a family pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college. our customers are our shareholders and they are the ones We strive to make happy. thank you for supporting small businesses!

Fillmore County 4-H kicks off From Lanesboro with love Kim Viker we starting discussing potential 4th Annual Gold Card fundraiser By This is the story of a Morgan options. We did not have many
Between March 14 and April 11, 4-H families throughout Fillmore County will be selling Gold Cards, which are coupon cards to various merchants throughout Fillmore County. There are 31 Fillmore County businesses that are included on the cards including gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants and others. The cards consist of a reusable card that has 26 different area businesses included. This part of the card can be used as many times as you would like through March 2016. There are also 5 key tags (tags that can be put on your keychain so you don’t lose or forget them); four of which are one time use and one is reusable as many times as you would like. The cards cost $20 each, but the savings can far exceed that investment. The cards are again featuring an online component. By going to FillmoreCounty4Hrewards.com, individuals and families can give back to the Fillmore County 4-H program with purchases made on the internet as well. There is a free option or a Gold Membership that has a fee attached but has additional rewards. Anyone can give to the Fillmore County 4-H program by going to FillmoreCounty4hrewards.com and placing your online orders to your favorite retailers like Bass Pro Shops, Gap, Lowe’s, Amazon.com, Nike, Sam’s Club, Starbucks, Best Buy, GameStop,
Travelocity, iTunes, and Sports Authority. This is the fourth year that Fillmore County 4-H has entered into this fundraising opportunity. Over the last three years, nearly $50,000 has been raised to support the Fillmore County 4-H Program. The county 4-H program will use the funds raised to support camps, county fair, state fair, cloverbud activities, judging teams, project bowl, ambassador activities, scholarship advancement, service- learning projects and other livestock and general project learning. Again this year, 75% of the profit will go to the county program with the remaining 25% to the local 4-H club. The local club can use their funds as appropriate by 4-H stewardship guidelines, but many are used in local service-learning/community service projects, for club projects that are exhibited at the county fair, or for local club member scholarships to attend 4-H events. Fillmore County 4-H is grateful to our generous community for supporting the Gold Card fundraiser and especially grateful to our area businesses that have graciously agreed to be a part of the fundraiser. Cards can be purchased from any Fillmore County 4-H family, or at the Fillmore County Extension Office, 902 Houston St NW #3, Preston, Minn. 55965.

horse and her incredible journey from Lanesboro to Norway. My husband and I have a small farm outside of Lanesboro and raise Angus cattle and Morgan horses, our farm name is Genetic Resources. There aren’t too many Morgan breeders in the Southeastern part of Minn., so the best way to stay in touch with everyone is the internet. Before Facebook became such a popular entity, one of the best ways to meet and stay in touch with other Morgan horse enthusiasts was through Yahoo, more specifically, Yahoo Groups. I belonged to the group, “Morgan Horse Friends”. People would share pictures of their horses, bloodlines, and a few good recipes to boot! People from all over the world were on this group, and we all shared one passion; the Morgan horse. Since the Morgan horse was a breed that originated in the United States, people from other parts of the world with a Morgan had imported them. One of the people that I met and admired on my Yahoo group was Helen Clargarden from Sjobo, Sweden. Helen and I had similar thoughts about Morgan horses as far as type, bloodlines and breeding. She had imported several wonderful Morgans to her farm, known as “Tullesbo”. Helen greatly admired our senior stallion, AOM Sundays’ Magic, and had hopes of getting frozen semen on him to breed with some of her mares. Although we did have frozen semen on Magic, it was not for export, as the regulations for exporting semen required a lengthy stay in Quarantine for the stallion. Magic was an older stallion, and I did not feel comfortable about having him stay too far from us, so his semen was never collected for exportation. Helen still had hopes of getting some of Magic to Sweden, and one day we came up with a plan. Helen had a good friend in Norway, Marit Bulling Lind, who already had Morgan horses, but was also interested in our stallion, Magic. Helen put Marit in touch with me via e-mail, and

Magic daughters, and they had become precious producers for us, so we were not anxious to part with them. However, we decided that we could part with one of the younger mares since we still owned both her sire and dam and could potentially
rebreed them. Marit and I discussed this at great length, and we struck a deal. Our mare, GR Obsession, was going to go to Norway! Marit decided that since Obsession was coming anyway she might as well come in foal, so we discussed this option too. Luckily, we have three other Morgan stallions, so Obsession could be bred right at See LANESBORO LOVE Page 28

Wildlife management expert visits Minnesota
Scott Hohensee, a national speaker and consultant on deer nutrition, recently shared his expertise with area deer raisers. From Tex., Hohensee braved the weather on one of the coldest days this winter to help southeastern Minn. wildlife managers understand what their deer herds need to improve weaning weights, increase antler development in their bucks and better meet the genetic potential of their breeding stock. Farmers Co-op Elevator’s Purina wildlife specialist Alesha Sveen explained, “Farmers Co-op brought Hohensee in to help local deer raisers better understand how the feed they give their herds affects their development. Scott’s one of the leading experts on raising deer to their full potential, so we were excited to bring his knowledge to our area.” Deer raisers from Rochester to LaCrescent came to Rushford to learn more about deer nutrition. Hohensee has been involved with wildlife management since the mid 1990s and was the wildlife biologist for a 55,000 acre ranch in Tex. before joining Purina Animal Nutrition. Purina Animal Nutrition has been researching deer nutrition for over 40 years. Hohensee stressed that Purina’s feed is formulated by a deer nutritionist, NOT a cattle nutritionist as is common in the feed industry. Hohensee told the deer raisers that they have an advantage with Farmers Co-op Elevator’s feed mill. “You can get the research-proven and field-tested Purina AntlerMax® Extreme Energy™ high fat nugget and Purina’s AntlerMax Concentrate pellet mixed into a complete feed. FCE can provide a custom ration for your herd with 14-20 percent protein that can include

oats, beans, sunflower seeds, beet pulp, yeast, vitamins and other ingredients to meet your needs. It’s a very convenient
way to make sure your deer herd is getting the nutrition they need to meet their genetic potential.”

Barrel racing is an exciting sport Sports fans and athletes have a plethora of sports to enjoy in this country and around the world, and those options include equestrian events. Equestrian sports have a deep-rooted history and have inspired some avid fans, including those enamored with the sport of barrel racing. Barrel racing originally was established as an event for women on the rodeo circuit. While men rode bucking broncos and bulls and competed in roping events, women displayed horse speed and stamina in barrel racing competitions. Today, barrel racing primarily is a female sport at both the collegiate and professional levels. Barrel racing can be an entertaining experience for spectators and a rewarding one for riders. The goal of the barrel race is to
complete a perfect pattern in the least amount of time, so the rider who completes the pattern the fastest wins the competition. The pattern riders face is a complicated cloverleaf design. Riders can choose to enter the first barrel to the left or the right. They circle the barrel and proceed across to barrel number two, then finish out at the third barrel, where they will complete the pattern and exit the course. The approach to the first barrel should be carefully timed and executed to set the stage for the rest of the course. An official distance between barrels exists for professional races. Riders cover 90 feet between barrel one and two. There is 105 feet between barrels one and three and between barrels two and three. Finally, 60 feet marks the

distance between barrels one and two and the entry/exit "score" line. According to Michigan State University Extension, barrel racing requires a mild-tempered horse with natural athletic ability. Horses need to be fast, agile and intelligent. A hot-headed horse is not a good choice because he may fight the rider and cause injury. Riders also must be in tune with their horses' movements and sit correctly in the saddle to allow the horse to hug the sides of each barrel. Riders need to be both physically fit and capable of planning ahead to accommodate for their horses' speed. Experts advise riders run horses through repetitive drills to improve their performance. A horse learns by release and will think he's done a good job if a rider moves on to a new task. If riders are unhappy with a turn, they should return to the same barrel over and over until it is mastered, as riders need their horses to remember the good techniques. Horses can do drills running straight lines as well as circles. Soon both horse and rider should develop a feel for each other and move more intuitively together. Although barrel racing has been around for a long time, one of the premier governing bodies of the sport was only established 66 years ago. The Girl's Rodeo Association was formed when 38 cowgirls came together in San Angelo, Texas, to create an organization dedicated to the promotion and advancement of women in the sport of rodeo. In 1981, the association changed its name to the Women's Professional Rodeo Association, and it remains one of the most influential sanctioning bodies in the sport. It also is the oldest women's sports association in the United States and the only one governed entirely by women. In 2007, the WPRA instituted the My Horse's Choice Junior Division for girls ages 17 and under. The junior division introduces a whole new group of members to the ranks of professional competition and allows mothers and daughters to compete for world points at some of the same events. Barrel racing is most popular in the western and southern areas of the United States and some parts of Canada.
