James Gang gold found at Mystery Cave BY R ICH WICKS
BY BARB JEFFERS Barb@fillmorecountyjournal.com
After much anticipation, the time is here for the Branding Iron in Preston, Minn., to reopen under new ownership. When previous owner Steve Bahl closed the doors of the Branding Iron on January 19, 2019, it was difficult for many area residents to accept, as the restaurant had been their favorite eating establishment for so many years. On Tuesday, April 2, 2019, the Branding Iron reopen its doors with new owners Dale and Becky Koch to greet you. Although new to ownership, the Kochs are very familiar with the Branding Iron, as they actually met there many years ago. While Dale was growing up

Nels Isaacson of rural Spring Valley recently made an amazing find. He says he spent a lot of time doing his research, and did a lot of walking around, but in the end, dumb luck played a crucial role as well. “I’ve always been a student of history, and especially the 19th century American outlaws. Most people in Minnesota have heard that the Jesse James gang once tried to rob a bank in Northfield. Their gang was mostly made up of the James and Younger brothers, but a few other friends and relatives rode with them once in a while. That Northfield trip actually was the end of the gang, because the robbery was foiled, and most of them were killed or captured,” Nes shared. The attempted robbery occurred in 1876, and essentially ended the era of western gunslinging marauders in the Old West. Nels says he’s spent years researching the James gang and their exploits. “One thing kinda caught my attention. In one of the gang member’s diaries, it told about their trip to Minnesota, as they made their way up to Northfield. Clell Miller was a sometimes member of the gang, and in his diary, it mentions that they spent a few days at a farm owned by Sidd Finch, and that they camped out near a grove of cherry trees, and spent one day looking around in a cave.” “Suddenly, it all clicked,” exclaimed Nels, “I realized they

Two years later, while Becky was growing up in Lanesboro, Minn., she too began working at the Branding Iron at the age of 16, first in the kitchen and then as a waitress. The two got to know each other while working together and a couple years later began dating, which led to marriage, and a family they have raised in Preston. Dale worked at the Branding Iron for a total of 29 years and Becky was an employee for 27 years, before they both stopped working there six years ago. The Branding Iron has “kind of been a family thing,” states See BRANDING IRON Page 13 ➤
Walz releases revised budget proposal Nels Isaacson and Otis bask in their golden windfall. Photo by Rich Wicks could have been near Cherry Grove and Mystery Cave. I got pretty jazzed up, and then when I did some research and found out a guy named Sidd Finch had actually owned a farm there around that time, I was sure I was onto something.” He went on to say that Miller’s diary mentioned something in a “Corydon bag” that was burned near three walnut trees, just north of the cave. “But when I looked closer at the handwriting, I realized it might have said ‘buried’ instead of ‘burned,’ so I got wondering if they stashed something they
intended to return for. And the James gang had once robbed a bank in Corydon, Iowa, so that could be where the bag was from. But of course they never got to come back after Northfield, so whatever they buried might still be there. Obviously, the three walnut trees would be long dead, so it would take a lot of luck, or a lot of time, to find anything.” Fortunately, Isaacson had both time and luck on his side. “I’ve always enjoyed Mystery Cave Park, and ever since I See MYSTERY CAVE Page 11 ➤

Governor Tim Walz (DFL) announced his revised budget on March 22 for the 2020-21 biennium (July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021). The budget was revised due to the predicted economic slow down. Forecast numbers released late in February suggest that the state’s surplus will be closer to $1 billion, a half a billion less than the prior forecast. The revised budget totals $49.35 billion for the biennium. This is just the first step in the budgeting process. The governor’s new budget reduces new spending by $131 million. This budget will still
leave $562 million of the surplus unspent. Walz’s proposal for a phasedin 20 cent gas tax hike remains in his revised budget to pay for needed road and bridge repairs. Thirty years ago, in 1988, the state’s gas tax was 20 cents per gallon. Over the years small incremental increases resulted in a gas tax of 28.6 cents per gallon in 2012, which is the current gas tax. The proposed phased-in increase will amount to a 70% increase. Walz is also proposing increases in sales tax and tab fees to raise enough revenue to upgrade an aging infrastructure. See WALZ Page 2 ➤

Walz argues gas taxes can only provide enough revenue for infrastructure upgrades and repairs if the taxes are adjusted to keep pace with the cost of construction. Forty percent of the state roads are 50 years old or older and 50% of the state bridges are over 40 years old. The DFL wants a reliable and sustainable funding source, like the gas tax, to insure funding for needed infrastructure upgrades now and into the future. In the list of Fillmore County’s 2019 legislative priorities, it is stated that “Fillmore County supports long-term sustainable funding dedicated to the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund (HUTDF).” The county also supports the dedication of all sales tax revenue generated by the sale of auto parts for transportation purposed through the HUTDF. At the March 26 county board meeting, commissioners unanimously approved a resolution, to be sent to the Minnesota legislature, in support of

long term sustainable funding for transportation. Republican legislators want to pay for infrastructure repairs and upgrades with the surplus; they insist no tax hike is needed when there is a surplus. The House is DFL controlled and the Senate is Republican controlled (with a three seat majority). Both will soon introduce their budget proposals. Walz’s budget includes the continuation of the current state’s health care provider tax. This tax will expire at the end of the year if it is not renewed. Fillmore County’s Public Health department supports the continuation of the 2% provider tax. Republican legislators want to let the tax expire. Walz argues that if the provider tax were to expire, the state will be in danger of draining the Health Care Access Fund, threatening health care for Minnesotans enrolled in Medicaid and Minnesota Care. The governor also put forth his health care proposal, ONECare Minnesota Plan, which is included in his budget. It could be an option for people who do not qualify for Minnesota Care or Medical Assistance. House

minority leader Kurt Daudt insists the governor’s plan will raise health care costs by over $1 billion for Minnesotans. The governor’s budget proposal also includes increases in spending for higher education and funding for child care assistance and a pre-kindergarten program. He wants to return $142 million of unused health care reinsurance funding to the general fund. Walz suggests the state health care reinsurance program, which pays insurance carriers to reduce premiums for individuals using the individual health insurance market, should be replaced with a direct premium subsidy to individual consumers. Bills passed in the House Recently the Minnesota House passed a bill that will require drivers to use handsfree devices for phone calls. Use of handheld devices would be illegal while driving. This bill passed with bipartisan support. Use of a handheld cell phone is considered to be a form of distracted driving. One Senate bill that is being debated, which was introduced by a Republican, would allow handheld use of a cell phone while driving. However, the bill calls for severe penalties if the driver using the handheld device causes an accident. The user would be treated similar to a drunk driver if

C OMMENTARY Accountability makes good government By Lee Hamilton As various House committees gear up for a season of investigations and hearings on President Trump and his administration, a lot of people are worried that progress on Lee H. the nation’s Hamilton challenges will grind to a halt. I would argue just the opposite: the wheels of government are turning in favor of accountability. Our system rests squarely on the notion that government officials — whether elected or appointed — need to be accountable to the people they govern. They are responsible for their behavior, their decisions, and the policies they support. They are answerable for their use — and misuse — of the funds and resources they’re given. They are — or ought to be — just as accountable for the remedies they fail to pursue as for the actions they do take. Accountability safeguards our Constitution, our laws, and our democracy. Which is why the weakening of accountability in our system over the past few decades ought to worry all Americans. It has become very difficult, for instance, to question a president — a problem that preceded the current occupant of the White House. Presidential press conferences, which once were freewheeling affairs at which presidents faced sustained questioning from reporters well-versed in their policies, are barely held these days. They are passing from view — and President Trump’s habit of using Twitter to commuEditorial Cartoon
nicate over the heads of people who ask hard questions may well set the course for the future. In fact, politicians and bureaucrats at all levels have become quite skilled at avoiding accountability. During my years in Congress, I considered it a key task to find out who was responsible for particular decisions — whether the administration was Republican or Democrat. It was difficult then, and has become more so with time. Meanwhile, it has been reassuring over the past two years to see several national news outlets step up their scrutiny of public officials in Washington, but it remains true that overall there is less investigative journalism than there once was. Which is a problem because it’s simply human nature to want to avoid being held responsible. If policies are going well and are well received in the polls and by the public, of course, officials fight to take their place in line and garner the credit. If something goes wrong, they fight to get out of the line. In our system, every official has to answer to some other official. This is a reassuring quality in a governmental structure — but only if officials actually exercise their responsibilities. That’s why the media are so important as a backstop. Which raises another issue. A lot of players ought to be exercising oversight: members of Congress, the government’s inspectors general, the media — we even have an entire agency, the Government Accountability Office, dedicated to the task. But for them to do their work, the system also needs transparency. Almost every day you see signs of officials hiding what they do from the public
— often without real merit. I’ve always been quite skeptical of the argument that we ought not let this or that piece of information become public. National security is often invoked, or trade secrets, or some other rationale for drawing a veil over the government’s activities. Even when citizens or reporters file Freedom of Information requests, these can be ignored, or turned down. The problem with this, of course, is that it’s anti-democratic. How are we supposed to make reasoned decisions about who and what we want to see in our government if we don’t know what’s going on and who’s responsible for it? Perhaps the most famous hallmark of Harry Truman’s tenure as president was the motto he placed on his desk: “The buck stops here.” There’s a reason why it’s so famous, and why people still consider it a standard they wish other politicians would set for themselves. Americans want officials who will step up and take responsibility for their decisions. They want political leaders who will hold themselves accountable to the public. And they want to see public officials exercise the responsibility handed them by the Constitution to hold others accountable. That the House is moving to do so is not a detour from governing; it’s the essence of good government. Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar of the IU Hamilton Lugar 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.

Upon retiring from the Bicknese Elevator and Mill in 1990, the business was sold to Joel and Joan Bicknese. In 1965, Bill bought a Cessna airplane and joined the International Flying Farmers organiza-

Every year he looked forward to the annual Canadian fishing trips with his friends Ivan Cady, Doug Emerson, Ozzie Erdman and others. Bill was proud of his German heritage, often singing or speaking German to his children and grandchildren. Bill and Connie never missed a chance to dance to the Blue Denim Farmers, of which his Uncle Walter and Cousin Wayne were members. They also treasured their many card club friends and activities.

NOTICE OF FILLMORE COUNTY DELINQUENT TAXES
In District Court
County of Fillmore Third Judicial District Court File 23-CV-19-6 TO: ALL PERSONS WITH A LEGAL INTEREST IN THE PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING DELINQUENT TAX LIST A list of real property in Fillmore County on which delinquent real property taxes and penalties are due has been filed with the Court Administrator of Fillmore County. This list is published to inform all persons that the listed property is subject to forfeiture because of delinquent taxes. The property owner, taxpayer, or other interested person must either pay the tax and penalty, plus interest and costs, or file a written objection with the Fillmore County Court Administrator. The objection must be filed by April 22, 2019, stating the reason(s) why the tax or penalty is not due on the property. If no objection is filed, a court judgment will be entered against the property for the unpaid tax, penalty, interest, and costs. For property under court judgment, the period of redemption begins on May 13, 2019. The period of redemption means the time within which taxes must be paid to avoid losing the property through forfeiture. The period of redemption is three years, with a handful of exceptions. The redemption period is one year for most properties located in a targeted neighborhood, as defined in the Minnesota laws, and for municipal solid waste disposal facilities. The redemption period is five weeks for certain abandoned or vacant properties. You may also enter into a confession of judgment as an alternative method to paying off the delinquent tax amount and avoiding forfeiture. This allows you to pay the delinquent balance in equal annual installments, with a down payment due at the time you enter into the confession. The length of the installment plan varies: five years for commercial-industrial/public utility property; 10 years for all other properties. If you have homesteaded property, you may be eligible for a Senior Citizen’s Property Tax Deferral, which enables seniors to pay just 3% of their total household income and allow remaining amounts to become a lien on the property that may be deferred for later payment (perhaps upon eventual sale of the property). It should also be noted by property homesteaders that you are ineligible to receive the Property Tax Refund while you owe delinquent property tax. To determine how much interest and costs must be added to pay the tax in full, contact the Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer’s Office, Fillmore County Courthouse, Preston, MN 55965. The telephone number is: (507) 765-3811. JAMES D. ATTWOOD DISTRICT COURT ADMINISTRATOR FILLMORE COUNTY, MINNESOTA DATE: February 04, 2019 Names of Owners, Taxpayers, & Interested Parties

figured out that the James gang probably came through the area, I’ve been spending more time wandering around, hoping to find something. Sometimes I bring my metal detector, and I always bring my dog, Otis Campbell, in case I run into any wild critters. He’s not a bright animal, but he’s loyal. Anyways, I’ve found a lot of interesting oddball items, like cans and spoons and such. But never anything valuable or important.” “So anyways,” Nels continued, “I was there shortly after the holidays, and Otis needed to do his business, so I sat down for a smoke.

years to give up cigarettes, but I guess the joke’s on him, because as I sat there smoking, I noticed an odd-looking lump sticking out of the side of a stream bank where a tree had fallen over. “ “I pulled on it, and it fell to the ground. It was three small, heavy chunks of corroded metal or something. I brought them home and power-washed them, and found out they are small gold bars. I think it’s gold that the James gang had gotten from some previous robbery, and stashed here before they did the Northfield job.” According to Isaacson, the total weight of his find is roughly 16 pounds, which at current gold prices (roughly $1,300 an ounce) equates to a value of around $331,000. He wonders if more gold is still undiscovered in the area, and said, “Once the
frost is out of the ground, I’ll be back up there with my metal detector and a spade. And Otis, of course!” When asked how he plans to spend his windfall, Nels replied, “I’ve always wanted to take a trip, so I’m looking to spend a weekend at Wabasha. And I’m thinking of buying a cordless phone.” Isaacson realizes others may also head to the park to search, and he welcomes them but suggested, with a wink, “Anybody looking for gold there needs to keep three things in mind… Number One: Obey all park rules. B: Keep safety in mind; there are a lots of thorny bushes and stuff, and snakes in the summer. And on the third hand, it’s worthwhile to give careful consideration to the date of this publication.”

Blowing smoke: e-devices hides dangers amid flashy design and alluring options By Kirsten Zoellner In just over a decade, public and health awareness campaigns steadily decreased the rate of American smokers to roughly 14%. While this should be lauded, it’s becoming white noise against the backdrop of increasing rates for electronic cigarettes and vaping. The Center for Disease Control and the National Institute for Drug Abuse note that while electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are less harmful than inhaling smoke, in no way should it be insinuated that they are non-toxic. “ENDS are insidious — the harm to one’s health for the most part are not immediately obvious,” warns Dr. Rizwan Siwani, a pediatric provider at Olmsted Medical Center in Rochester.
Containing chemicals such as antifreeze, diethylene glycol, and carcinogens long-term effects are largely unknown, but short term effects are staggering on their own. “At low doses, it causes a stimulatory effect,” adds Siwani. Too much causes nicotine poisoning — nausea and vomiting, pallor, sweating, headache, dizziness, muscle tremors or seizures. After the stimulatory effect there is a later onset of depressive effects — decreased blood pressure, heart rate, slowed breathing, coma, weakness, and possibly respiratory failure.” “The long term effects remain unknown, pending long term longitudinal studies, but we do See E-DEVICES Page 12 ➤

know nicotine is highly addictive, affects brain development, and results in poor sleep quality, and shorter sleep duration.” The devices go by a myriad of names and even more varied options. They can mimic the look of a traditional cigarette, a sleek pen or piece of tech, like a USB flash drive, and a host of everyday items, right down to the strings on the hood of a sweatshirt. Dubbed “e-cigs,” “vapes,” “e-hookahs,” and seemingly more every day, they exist in refillable, open systems, liked for their cheap cost, long-lasting battery, and wide array of flavors or pre-filled, closed-pod vapor systems, chosen for their portability. The current drive is towards efficient, compact devices. Processed nicotine salt, as opposed to liquid, which is heated to vapor, is also trending, but it, too, harbors unseen concerns — namely higher nicotine concentration levels. A major marketing hook is added flavorings, ranging from fruit and candy to chocolate or coffee and everything in between. The devices handily escape federal rulings on flavorings for traditional cigarettes, having debuted after lawsuit settlements and guidelines. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) calls this the “Flavor Trap.” This particular trap draws an

alarming number of youth to the devices and its appears to be a stepping stone to traditional tobacco products. Youth use increased 78% among high school students and 48% among middle school students in just one year, according to Federal Drug Administration data. Some 16% of high school seniors have used some sort of e-devices in the last 30 days — the rough equivalent of 10 in your smalltown graduating class of 60 — and those statistics trickle right on down to those sixth grade, 12-year-olds. Kingsland Superintendent James Hecimovich is also seeing the problem first-hand, as is every school district in the county. “It’s been around for a couple of years, but this year seems to be much worse. The stories I’m hearing from other students is frightening. Students that I would have never expected have dabbled in vaping.” He believes the ability to conceal devices easily, and the flavorings currently marketed with youth in the crosshairs, are driving the trend. Rushford-Peterson Middle/ High School Principal Jake Timm discussed the same sentiments earlier this month during a Rushford City Council in which he encouraged the city to consider updating its 1997 tobacco ordinance to include ENDS. The discussion even touched upon the notion of “Tobacco 21,” a campaign increasing the age at

Becky. “Dale’s mom and dad worked here, all four of our kids: Kayla, Kyle, Korby and Kasey, worked here. My mom worked here, my sister worked here, my brother worked here,” she explained. “And my sister worked here,” Dale said. When asked if in their wildest dreams they thought they would ever own the Branding Iron, ,Becky responded “No, absolutely not!” as she explained, “Dale’s dream was to have a restaurant, but we never imagined the Branding Iron,” she says. They never dreamed they could, but then they dreamed they would – literally. “When it came for sale all the kids called us saying ‘you gotta buy the Branding Iron,’” notes Becky. But Dale and Becky were not seriously considering it at the time. “When we heard the doors were closing and everything, we talked about it, but then we never decided anything,” because they had not had a real chance to talk about it at length. “For the last eight years he worked evenings and I worked days so we never saw each other – except Friday night and Saturday – then Sunday he would be back to work,” explains Becky. “I just kept having these dreams,” states Becky, after learning the business was closing. “I had three or four nights in a row I just kept dreaming about the Branding Iron,” she says. But they had not seen each other so she had not had a chance to discuss the dreams with Dale. “So Saturday morning I’m sitting in the kitchen and I’m having coffee waiting for Dale to wake up and come out,” states Becky, and when he did she said, “You’re going to think I’m nuts, but maybe we should

That same day Dale went to the Branding Iron to talk to Bahl and when he got there Bahl was talking to another person interested in buying the business. Dale assumed that was that. Unbeknownst to the Kochs, word got around Preston that Dale had stopped to talk to Bahl, and a group of people in town named “Friends of the Branding Iron, LLC” believed that the Kochs were the right people to purchase the business and were prepared to support them. “They came to us,” says Becky. “We didn’t have a clue this was going on – it was pretty cool.”

“To be honest with you, if we had to do it ourselves it probably wouldn’t have been possible,” she admits. “It probably wouldn’t be happening,” agrees Dale, saying, “We can’t thank those folks in the community enough.” The Kochs left their jobs at Mayo Clinic in February and purchased the Branding Iron on March 13, 2019, although they were actually hard at work cleaning the restaurant two weeks prior to that and have been spending day and night at the business since then, preparing to open the doors. The Kochs have made some minor changes, such as new lighting outside, removing the western border in the bar area and some painting, but no drastic changes have been made. “Pretty much what people used to see is what they are going see,” states Dale. Future plans include outdoor seating with a patio in front of the building. “I would like to start working on it this summer. I don’t know if it will be up and running this year yet for sure or not – but I want to,” explains Dale. There will be no big changes with the menu items either; a couple sandwiches were eliminated, they brought back the chef salad, and added macaroni and cheese for the kids. Frog legs and chicken strips are still available but have been moved from the dinner menu to the appetizer menu. “Otherwise
it is going to be pretty much exactly the same,” Becky says. When patrons visit the Branding Iron there will be a freshly designed menu with the business’s new logo on the front, which was designed by Jayme Ostern of Preston. The salad bar will still be an option and as in the past, there will be homemade salads and homemade soups. There will continue to be lunch specials and evening specials as well. The Kochs are very grateful to so many people that have supported them in one way or another. There have been people from the community, as well as friends and family that have helped them immensely. “They have been spending weekends with us and helping us do whatever” needed to be done, shared Becky. “Without that we wouldn’t be as far as we are,” Dale stated. “It’s kind of a humbling thing how the community came together and made this possible,” Dale shared, “and they made it possible for more than us actually they made it pos-
sible so the place will be open — it’s going to help everyone around,” he added. “I wanted to keep it open for the people,” states Dale. “It just seemed like a shame to let it go forever because a lot of these places, if they do close, they close forever,” he said. Dale and Becky look forward to greeting customers very soon. Undoubtedly, the restaurant will be full of customers anxious to enjoy a meal at the Branding Iron once again. “It’s going to be very busy so please be patient,” states Becky. “Bear with us,” asks Dale, as they learn the ropes of business ownership. Business hours of the Branding Iron will be Monday closed, Tuesday through Thursday 11:15 a.m. - 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11:15 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. Find them on Facebook for information and updates on the business.

I was not getting along with the dog in my home, so my family felt that it would be best for me to be in a home as an only pet and no children under 10. I sometimes nip, but I am not aggressive. I like to play, and I am an affectionate girl who liked to sleep with my people sometimes.My name means, “beloved,” and that’s what I hope to be - your beloved.

Stress of high schoolers By Katrina Bergey Stress is a feeling every single person has felt. By definition, stress is a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from a d v e r s e Katrina Bergey or very demanding circumstances.
Most people can not go a single day without feeling some type of stress or hearing about other’s stresses. Today, high school students are feeling the pressure of stress more than ever. It may not be the same stress that adults feel about housing or bills, but there are still several stressors. As a senior, there are various things to stress about. Where will you go to college? Will you go to college? What will

you major in? Where will you work? How will you pay for it? These are just a few of the many daunting questions looming over each senior. It can be intense and incredibly stressful to be asked to make a decision that will no doubt have a monumental impact on your life. Seniors are not the only students feeling the stress. The youth of all ages have been more apt to feeling stress throughout their school life. Building up to senior year, some students prep for standardized tests. They devote their time and energy to obtaining desirable grades. Certain students take rigorous AP and college classes. Many people then go home to spend several hours on homework or to study. Students can really start to feel the stress and pressure when it comes to academics. Students also have to juggle going to school with their extracurricular activities and practices. Choosing to be involved in extracurriculars is a choice, but many choose to because of pure enjoyment and social interaction. Some students spend almost 14 hours a day at school because of all their activities. Long days can quickly lead to exhaustion and sleep deprivation. These students also must compete for each spot they earn whether that be on the stage, court, or classroom. The constant competition can lead to an increase in stress levels. On top of school and school-related activities, many students, especially in our area, work on a regular basis. Working is important for large amounts of students because it helps them to pay for their belongings. Work can quickly take up the rest of your night after school or your days on the weekend. Students also spend time volunteering. These volunteer hours are extremely rewarding and important for all students to do and can cut down on the time you have. It is crucial to have time management skills to help you succeed in all these different endeavors. Social status can be another factor that leads to stress. Students now more than ever feel the need to fit in. Social media is everywhere. It is accessed by most students which can lead to people trying harder and harder to be like the people they see online. As children, it seems extremely important to

fit in; therefore, if a child does not feel that they fit in it can lead to additional stress. Grades, extracurriculars, work, and volunteering are the biggest reasons students feel stressed. Researchers used to believe the stress of school was considered “good,” but many are finding it now leads to mental health issues and could potentially hurt their academics. It is awesome and impor-
tant to be involved and do well in your studies. However, be sure to make time for relaxation. If you ever feel overwhelmed or stressed, talk to someone, break things down step by step, and breath.

Fillmore Central students place high in large group music contest By Hannah Wingert At the March 26 Fillmore Central School Board meeting, Principal Heath Olstad extended thanks to band teacher Duane Ledin and choir teacher Sarah Holten for their hard work and dedication to their students. Both the band and choir received superior ratings at the sub-section large-group music contest which was held at Fillmore Central on March 12. Dean of Students Chris Mensink reported that the spring
conferences on March 7 were well attended with almost 92% of students represented at the elementary level. For parents who are unable to make it to the conferences, teachers often conduct email conferences with them instead. The Action 100 reading award this year will be a trip to see the movie Ferdinand at the JEM Theatre in Harmony and will be sponsored by F&M Community Bank and the JEM Theatre.

basketball coach Aaron Mensink was approved by the board. Tris Tollefson was hired as the junior high softball coach and Dan Boeson as a van driver for the school. Paula Birch was approved to provide up to five hours a week of homebound instruction to an elementary aged student. The board named Superintendent Richard Keith as the identified official with authority to authorize user access to Minnesota Department of Education, or MDE, secure websites for Fillmore Central. The calendar committee met again on March 25 after approval of the 2019-2020 school calendar was tabled at the February school board meeting. The committee decided to set an early dismissal on Friday, December 20 before the Christmas break. They had previously discussed having students return on the Monday after that, but when asking various teachers how they felt about that, it was determined that students probably would not be able to concentrate enough on Monday to make it a productive school day. The final student day will be on Friday, May 29, 2020, and the final staff work day will be on Monday, June 1, 2020. The board approved the revised calendar. An interstate enrollment agreement with the Decorah Community Schools district was
approved. The next Fillmore Central School Board meeting will be held on April 23 at 6:30 p.m. in the elementary meeting room. After the meeting was adjourned, volunteer coach Kasie Roenfanz spoke to the board about FIRST Lego League. She proposed that the board consider moving Lego League from Community Ed to be under the umbrella of the district due to the popularity of the program and the restrictions they face on how many students can join with Community Ed as well as the timing of how early in the season the club can meet. They would also like to restructure the program so they could create more teams and allow more students to participate. Another concern that the League has is that once students age out of it, there is nothing similar offered at the high school level. “As a parent, I am concerned for the lack
Page 19
of education, the extracurriculars that are offered at this school,” Roenfanz said. She pointed out that FIRST Lego League is actually an education based STEM program that would be an asset to high school as well as elementary aged students. “It’s not just playing with Legos,” Roenfanz said. “It’s math and it’s science.” Roenfanz noted that the League is not interested in using any of the school budget at this time, but would like to conduct fundraisers. However, they’re not sure how they can do that if Lego League is a community ed activity. After doing some research, Roenfanz realized that most Lego Leagues run through the school district where they’re located. Superintendent Keith asked Roenfanz and the other volunteer coach, Stuart Weist, to set up a meeting with him and Community Ed Director Angie Kaase to discuss the future of Lego League. “I think the board is very supportive of what you’re doing,” he said.

County supports long term sustainable funding for transportation By Karen Reisner Fillmore County Commissioners, at their March 26 meeting, voted unanimously to adopt a resolution encouraging the Minnesota Legislature to pass a bill that provides adequate funding for Minnesota’s statewide transportation system. This resolution is supported and advocated by the Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC) and the Minnesota Transportation Alliance. Chairman Duane Bakke noted the AMC hopes to get a resolution of support from all 87 counties. Together they will have a strong voice to encourage legislators to provide long term sustainable funding for roads and bridges. Commissioner Randy Dahl recalled that just over 20% of funding for the county comes from local revenue, the Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) and the Wheelage Tax. He added he would be willing to pay some more gas tax if it can keep his car intact. According to AMC, the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund (HUTDF) gets dollars from the gas tax (now about 28 cents per gallon), license fees, motor vehicle sales tax, and interest. This revenue funds state highways, county state aid highways, and municipal state aid. In 2018 out of $2.3 billion in the HUTDF, about $612 million went to county state aid highways. None of this HUTDF money goes to the county road system, which in Fillmore County is funded with revenue from the Wheelage Tax, LOST funds, and some federal funding. Levy dollars could be raised to help fund county roads. Other programs that are needed to help fund county roads are the Local Road Improvement Program and the local bridge replacement program. Current funding sources are NOT keeping up with the needs. The Transportation Finance Advisory Committee concludes the HUTDF annual funding gap is $1.1 billion to $1.47 billion. County roads in Minnesota make up over 30% of the state’s roadways. A long term sustainable funding source will provide stable funding for MnDOT, all 87 counties, cities with populations over 5,000, and townships.

County Attorney Brett Corson explained there had been a meeting concerning the Preston Oil Products property which has been forfeited to the state. The city of Preston has expressed an interest in removing the tanks and taking soil borings to test for hazardous materials at the city’s expense. If contamination is found, it is expected that the state may pay for most or all of that expense. If this option were followed, the city would have right of first refusal to purchase the property at a determined market value after it is cleaned up. By consensus, Corson was authorized to continue working with the city toward a possible agreement. Another property in Preston (residential) was determined to be a public health nuisance. If the landowner is unwilling or unable to clean the property up the county can have it cleaned up/abated and get reimbursement via the auditor assessing the cost of cleanup with property taxes. The pests were removed at a cost of $8,022.54. A resolution was approved to assess the cost of cleanup against the property. A Schueler Quit Claim Deed and resolution concerning 3.31 acres of property was approved. The legal description was corrected.

The program is designed for students with significant challenges that require specialized programming. The goal is to return them to their home districts when they are ready. Fitness, movement, and sensory equipment contributes to this learning process. Each county their SHIP funding toward the program. Erickson reviewed other programs Fillmore County could support using SHIP funding including breastfeeding sup-

Fillmore County Sports 9th Annual Boys All-County Team By Paul Trende It was a boys basketball season that featured a crop of really good players. Fifteen The Trende total JourreporT nal covered athletes averaged over 11 points per game. A 1,000p o i n t scorer and a doublePaul Trende double guy were AllConference Honorable Mention. A double-double guy didn’t even get honored anything A-C.
1st Team
Wyatt Pruter (6’2” Sr. G, Kingsland): Turned in a magnificent offensive senior year. Simply a great pure scorer. Averaged a teamhigh 21.8 PPG on the strength of 18 games of 20-plus Wyatt Pruter p o i n t s (including five 30-plus efforts). He was the SEC’s second-leading league-game scorer (21.0), just behind L-O’s Trey Hungerholt (21.1). Accrued over 600 points this season. Had an eight-game stretch where he hit for 20 or more, part of a 12 game stretch of averaging nearly 26 PPG. Hit 2.8 threes per game, going 79 of 242 (32.6%). Only had five games where he failed to make multiple threes, two games (got injured, foul trouble) where he didn’t score in double figures. Hit three or more threes 16 times. Made 145 of 190 free throws (76%). Chipped in 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.1 steals per contest.

Landon Skalet (5’10” Sr. G, Rushford-Peterson): Another in the line of proficient and talented R-P guys, the Trojans lone senior rode his way through the season with a bunch of young players.

Shot a commendable 48.6% (158325) from the field and 72.4% (7198) from Reid Johnson the free throw line. Added team-highs with 3.1 assists and 2.4 steals while chipping in 4.6 boards per game.

Lanesboro students won’t have to make up snow days By Hannah Wingert At the March 21st Lanesboro School Board meeting, Superintendent Matt Schultz noted that the school has had to cancel nine days of school this year due to weather. However, the school calendar was set up to have 176 total days of school for the 201819 school year. The State of Minnesota requires a minimum of 165 days, a number which Lanesboro still exceeds even after nine missed days. As of now, the plan is to discuss the possibility of having the staff make up one day at a later meeting. High school principal Brett Clarke reported that prom and the scholarship banquet will be held during the first week of May. Registrations and handbooks are being sent out for grades 9-12 for the upcoming school year. “The only noteworthy change was how we handled cell phones in the high school,” Principal Clarke noted. The handbook states that cell phone use is prohibited during instruction hours at school. Students who break that policy could lose their phone for the rest of the school day or even overnight. “It seems to be going well,” Clarke said, adding that parents have been supportive of the policy. This year, the staff has been working to emphasize positive behavior in students or “catch them being good,” thanks to the PBIS program or Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports. The after-school homework help program has been successful so far. “Students can be assigned time there, and they could also choose to go in for help if they feel like they need it,” Superintendent Schultz said.

Superintendent Schultz recently had the opportunity to testify at the State Senate about a small school revenue bill and will be able to speak about the same bill in the House. He will also be traveling to Washington, DC, to talk to legislators about the issues that rural schools face. The second reading of board policies 601 regarding school district curriculum and instructional goals, 603 regarding curriculum development, and 612.1 regarding the development of parent and family engagement policies for Title I programs were approved by the board. The board approved the K-6 individual conferences for September 3 and 4. Conducting conferences at the beginning of the school year will allow teachers to get a baseline for where each individual student is and what their needs are academically. The facilities committee is closing in on the end of the concept design phase for the facilities project. They’re hoping to go to bid in mid-June and close in July. The asbestos abatement will be done this summer before the facilities project begins. A contract with the architecture firm HSR Associates, Inc. was approved for the facilities project. The board approved a motion to direct Superintendent Schultz to work with a real estate agent and legal counsel to prepare for a closed bids request for the sale of the property on Kirkwood Street East that is owned by the district. The goal is to move the home that sits on the property and then fill in the basement. “I’d really hate to take the house down,” Schultz said. “I think this is probably the cleanest way for us to do it.” A motion was also approved allowing Schultz to notify the renters at the property that they will need to vacate the property by June 30. The excess school equipment and supplies will be prepared for auction and/or sealed bids and will include items such as desks, chairs, and other equipment. The school received a Captain Plant grant which was used for a classroom ecosystem kit and a learning garden as well as a grant from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture which was used for three milk coolers. An early dismissal was approved for the final day of school on May 31 at 11:32 a.m. The next Lanesboro school board meeting will be held on April 18 at 7 p.m.

Rushford crosses fingers on U of M launches Chronic Wasting Disease grants; holds project hearings Program to address potential health crisis By Kirsten Zoellner The City of Rushford is hoping application to two Department of Natural Resources (DNR) grants will provide funding for two projects long in the works. The items were discussed at the Monday, March 25 council meeting. The first is a funding from an outdoor recreation grant program. The goal is to construct a paved trail to the Rushford-Peterson Schools site, their athletic complex, the city aquatic center, and the Root River State Trail. This new trail meets the overall plan for the DNR grant program to connect where people live to the parks and amenities within their communities. The Rushford project could be especially lucrative in securing the funding because it connects existing city and state trail systems and both the city and school are on board. Engineer Derek Olinger, of Bolton & Menk, noted there wasn’t much comment during the preliminary DNR review. “I’m hoping that means its good,” he noted. The city applied several times for a Safe Routes to School Grant to aid in funding the new trail, but was denied each time. Should the city be awarded the funding, the project will need to be complete by June of 2021. The city is expecting to received notification of their grant status by July of this year. “This had better work this time,” joked Mayor Chris Hallum. The second grant is also out of the outdoor recreation program. This time, it’s aimed at construction of a new, public canoe launch on the north bank of the Root River, east of the Highway 43 Root River Bridge. As noted by City Clerk Kathy Zacher, the city has previously secured funding for the construction of the access road to the launch area. This new funding would provide directly for launch area, parking, and some area amenities. Plans for the project include building a cove/beach area at the river’s edge with just enough room to move a canoe to the landing. Building materials would be inexpensive, likely just treated lumber. It was noted by Olinger that the goal isn’t to construct substantial access. “With very large flood events, there might be risk of losing it. It was one of the intentions of keeping this very basic. The primary concern with this site is erosion,” he added. Olinger noted the launch will have steeper slopes with vegetation armoring the slope. “The primary thing is to keep the flow up,” he noted. The preliminary cost estimate for the launch is $75,000. This particular grant does allow for city staff to do a portion of the
project, helping keep costs low. “We’re planning the parking lot and ramp as if a contractor is coming to do it,” explained Olinger. “It’s always easier to scale back.” If awarded, the grant is a 50/50 cost share between the DNR and the city. Results from the application are expected within the next 30 days. The DNR, Minnesota Department of Transportation, Fillmore County, and the Army Corps of Engineers were all had to be involved in the steps leading up to the project. In other news, two public hearings were held during the meeting. The first is related to the 2019 Street and Utility Improvement Project on East Grove, Walnut, and North Burr Oak Streets, while the second was for the Lamplighters Lane project. Olinger clarified to those in attendance that the projects were determined utilizing the Capital Improvement Plan. Infrastructure needs of water main, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer, as well as conditional ratings of streets were all taken into account. Areas were prioritized and feasibility reports conducted. Eventually, the scope of the projects was adjusted and bids sought. Bids were opened in February and while there is a low bidder, the contracts for the projects have not yet been awarded. Olinger also reviewed preliminary assessments and details of the project areas. Six residents were in attendance to ask questions of the engineer and city. Project cost summary for the Street and Utility Improvement Plan was $1.8 million, $346,211 of which will be assessed to affected property owners. Lamplighters Lane is estimated to cost $93,575. Of that, $6,757 is assessable to the two adjacent property owners. Assessment terms on both projects include full prepayment by November 15 with no interest, partial payment by November 15 with the remainder going on the tax rolls for a 10-year term at 3.5% interest, or certifying the total assessed cost to the property taxes. The larger project is anticipated to last most of the summer with substantial completion due by the middle of September. June 2020 is the official project completion date. Openings on various city commissions remain and the city is looking for volunteer members to fill the vacancies. Both the Airport Commission and Economic Development Authority are seeking two members, while the Planning Commission and Electric Commission are seeking one member each. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Monday, April 8, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
March 19, 2019 — The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota announced today that it has launched the Chronic Wasting Disease Response, Research and Policy Program (CWD Program) to respond to this wildlife disease crisis and its potential for animal-to-human and humanto-human transmission. CWD is a prion disease that affects several cervid species: deer, elk, reindeer, sika deer and moose. It has been found in some areas of North America, including three provinces in Canada and at least 26 states. Although CWD has not yet been found to cause infections in humans, numerous health agencies advise that people should not be consuming CWD-positive animals. “We believe it is possible that human cases of CWD associated with the consumption of CWD-contaminated meat will be documented in the years ahead,” said Michael T. Osterholm, University of Minnesota Regents Professor, McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health, and director of CIDRAP. “There is an immediate and critical need for national leadership on addressing CWD, and the CWD Program establishes the University of Minnesota as both the national and international center for CWD response, research, education and policy.” The CWD Program will focus on: and proactive national leadership with government agencies and others that identifies and defines priority policy, prevention, research and community outreach issues associated with CWD in animals and its potential for animal-to-human and human-to-human transmission; ticularly hunters, the medical and public health communities, wildlife scientists and managers, public policymakers and elected officials about the potential risk of human CWD infection; able and rapid CWD prion detection tests for killed cervids before the deer are processed or consumed; vention research on limiting the potential transmission of the CWD prion to humans and between animal species. The CWD Program is made possible with support from the University of Minnesota Office of the Vice President for Research and the Office of the Vice President for Academic Clinical Affairs. “I’m delighted that Dr. Osterholm has moved nimbly to expand CIDRAP’s impressive public-health scope of coverage to encompass the emerging research and policy concerns associated with Chronic Wasting Disease,” said Chris Cra-
mer, vice president for research. “This effort will provide a critical foundation that will inform broader work on CWD on our campuses — including a University-wide task force to be launched this spring — in our state and region, and throughout North America.” “CIDRAP’s ability to respond to the potential health crisis of CWD and help Minnesotans safely enjoy their love of the outdoors and hunting — both a tradition and a sport for so many — is integral to our mission as a land-grant University and our service to the state,” said Jakub Tolar, dean of the University of Minnesota Medical School and vice president for clinical affairs. The University Task Force on CWD, led by Associate Vice President for Research Michael Oakes, will address the full range of diagnostic, clinical and public-health challenges associated with CWD, connecting with potential external partners and leveraging the consider-
able relevant strengths across its campuses and colleges in biology, wildlife ecology, veterinary medicine and zoonotic disease, public health, and medicine, as well as expertise in public policy and economics. About the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy is a global leader in addressing public health preparedness and emerging infectious disease response. Founded in 2001, CIDRAP is part of the Office of the Vice President for Research at the University of Minnesota.
