New Rushford trail nearly a reality By K irsten Zoellner kzoellner@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The proposed trail extension, which the city has fought diligently for, is now one step closer to reality. Tied to the existing Root River State Trail, the recreational draw is expected to run north from the current trail, along the eastern top of the levee system, past Creekside Park and the Hoiland Mill, and connect-

The Sand Committee met for the third time on March 28. Member David Williams outlined his own recommendations for additions and language changes to the current ordinance. There were about fifteen people from the public present representing mining interests and those concerned about the effects of more and larger mining operations. Discussion from both committee members and the public on current regulations and proposed changes was ongoing. Zoning Administrator Chris Graves provided some definitions of various methods of mining. There seemed to be a general agreement that underground mining including tunneling, shafting, or hydraulic dredging would not be allowed. Commissioner Duane Bakke maintained that the surface mine is what we are looking
at. County Attorney Brett Corson said the current ordinance doesn’t bar any specific type of extraction right now and doesn’t mention underground mining. Graves said the ordinance needs to clearly define what is allowed. County Engineer John Grindeland said what starts as a surface mine becomes a pit mine. Bakke noted current sand pits and quarries go below grade now. Paul Leduc, Pilot Mound Township, suggested they have a restriction requiring a limit as to how close they can be to the water table. Bakke suggested geological surveys should help in determining that. Planning Commission member Gary Ruskell questioned whether there should be language as to what is a large or small mining operation. Bakke said the state has rules regarding those over 40 acres where an EAW is required and 160 acres where an EIS is required.

Williams favored both limiting the size of mines and the number of new mines per township. He was opposed to large scale industrial sand mining. Grindeland felt this was not a concern in our county because the areas available for silica sand mining are limited in the county

due to restrictions already in place, including Decorah Shale Overlay District, shoreland, and dwelling setbacks. Bakke said they could put a particular size limit in the ordinance as they did with feedlots, saying nobody here wants mines of 500 to 1,000 acres. He suggested if townships wanted to limit the number of mines in their township, they could apply those restrictions.

Williams insisted there should be a cap on the size. Cristal Cadkins remarked that no one property owner owns enough continuous acres for a large mine. Loni Kemp argued huge companies can assemble large acreages by offering huge prices for land. Williams wanted a limit of 300 feet from the Bluff Impact Zone. Corson said he was more concerned about impacts on streams
and rivers than bluffs. Paul Leduc said if we don’t allow tunneling into bluffs, where is the issue. Graves suggested a restriction of 100 feet from shoreland is a good place to start. Williams encouraged the prohibition of all nonferrous metallic mining. Corson asked why they should prohibit any type of extraction of materials unless there is a public health or safety
concern. Williams pointed to the potential for environmental damage to the area. Corson argued that legally there has to be a reason to have a prohibition. Bakke said hydraulic mining, which can go very deep, is an environmental concern in our area. Rita Leduc, Pilot Mound Township, agreed saying we have karst topography. Corson See MINING Page 3

commented that maybe “karst” would be enough to get us past that. There seemed to be general agreement that the use of chemicals for processing on site would be prohibited. Williams wanted to go further and not allow washing on site with water. Mining Plans Williams outlined details he felt were needed when applying for a CUP in an operation plan. Graves said a good solid outline on what they are planning to do is needed, but we need to realize there may be changes. A discussion followed on a requirement to have a traffic plan or a specific trucking route. Grindeland said they need to know the destination for the product and how
they plan to get there. He said roads in other counties will be impacted by traffic that doesn’t originate in that county. Grindeland said this would be product specific to frac sand. Operator Richard Frick asked if truckers of other products pay for road use. Grindeland said loggers do and sugar beet haulers don’t, which are other types of haulers that go to a specific destination, therefore concentrating the truck traffic. Blasting Williams called for a preblasting survey of structures and wells within 1320 feet of a blast site. Blasting would be used to remove the stone overburden. Bakke asked how you could put together a survey showing the condition of all structures as Williams suggested. Loni Kemp encouraged a baseline water

Monday, April 2, 2012 quality test for wells of people living in the area. Corson said all dwellings have to be back at least 1,000 feet. Williams asked if the county would have any liability if it allows blasting. Frick explained that today’s blasting techniques keep the effect of the blast in a very limited area. Operation Requirements Williams suggested that mines not be allowed to be operated closer than 10 vertical feet to an existing water table. Bakke said they needed to consult the DNR and Donna Rasmussen, SWCD, about that. Williams wanted a restriction on the reduction of surface water within a two mile radius of the mine. Bakke asked how you measure that and noted that water usage is the responsibility of the DNR. Corson said there could be an advantage to this kind of language in the county’s ordinance as the county could say the operation was in violation of the CUP, where the DNR could not. Williams said most ordinances he looked at limited hauling to 70 loads per day from a site. Frick said Winona County’s limit was 70 loads per site unless there was a payment for the road, then there was no limit. Frick insisted roads should be able to handle the loads as long as the road was built to withstand the weight limit it is rated for. Randy Boyum, Pilot Mound Township, asked about other heavy use trucking, like loads of grain going to the ethanol plant.
Bakke suggested they wait and see what Winona County does on this issue. Reclamation Williams wants a detailed plan for reclamation to be submitted when applying for a CUP. He also asks that they provide for a phased reclamation throughout the mining operation. Corson agreed detail is needed and they should try to require specific

C ommentary Obama and the economy By Col. Stan Gudmundson Referring to tax cuts and reduced regulation, Obama in a December 6 speech in Osawatomie, KS said the following: “The market will take care of everything... It’s a simple theory...(that) fits well on a bumper stickCol. Stan er. But here’s Gudmundson the problem: It USAF (Ret) doesn’t work. It has never worked. It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depresssion...And it didn’t work when we tried it during the last decade. It’s not as if we haven’t tried this theory...We simply cannot return to this brand of ‘you’re on your own’ economics...” Andy Stern, former head of the SEIU and ardent Obama supporter asserts that, “The conservative-preferred, free market fundamentalist, shareholder-only model - so successful in the 20th century - is being thrown onto the trash heap of history in the 21st century.” Logically, one of the next things either of these “economic wizards” would have to do is to point to an example of a non-capitalist country not on the cusp of an unsustainable socialistinduced economic disaster that is booming economically and where freedom abounds. If they don’t do that, and they haven’t, that simply means they believe that the only reason liberalism, progressivism, socialism, communism, or the current utopian vision du jour hasn’t worked ever before is that it wasn’t implemented properly. That also means countries who tried these things before failed because their vision was inadequate and/or because,
more importantly, they were led by incompetents. Further, it also suggests that Obama and his followers believe he is a genius who really can create the utopian vision the left believes in. All right, all you lefty socialist, liberal, progressive capitalist haters or whoever you are, here is another opportunity for you to give us at least one great example of a socialist country who has a manifestly sustainable social-welfare system and who is not ultimately walzing down the bunny trail of economic disaster. The last time I challenged you to come up with one I said you could go back as far the Roman Empire if you needed to. Since there was no response, how about if we expand the envelope a little and you go all the way back to the Hittites. Okay, we are waiting for an example. Pause a minute here. We are still waiting...still waiting...and still waiting. Since there are no sound examples and since the silence is deafening, one has to conclude that what Obama believes in is either absolute rubbish or he thinks he and his administration are smarter than any human beings who have ever lived. Victor Davis-Hansen says that, “What makes Barack Obama a different president is...the banal idea that the United States is fundamentally in need of...radical change, and that only a select few like himself have the insight and skills necessary to both implement and preside over it.” Obama “is not content with just picking and choosing which laws he will follow in advancing his social agenda...(it) extends also to freemarket economics, as we seen with the monotonous demonization of the so-called one percent and those who make over $200,000 per year.” By the way, how do you accomplish “radical
change” without destroying what exists? You can’t. That is bad enough but Obama is blatantly disregarding the constitution. Our forefathers, in their efforts to put together an effective government by means of the constitution, worried about just such a problem. James Madison in No. 48 of the Federalist Papers wrote, “It will not be denied that power is of an encroaching nature and that it ought to be effectually restrained from passing the limits assigned it (and) the most difficult task is to provide some practical security for each (branch, ie, executive, judicial, and legislative) against the invasion of others.” And he asks, “Will it be sufficient to trust to these parchment barriers (the constitution) against the encroaching spirit of power?” The Founders dilgently tried to prevent and eliminate the dangers of the “encroaching nature” of power. Their efforts have not been successful. John Podesta is head of a Soros funded organization called the Center for American Progress (CAP) and he was also cochair of Obama’s transition team. In a 54-page report released in November 2010, CAP outlined a variety of methods the Obama administration could use to take advantage of “loopholes and workarounds...to accomplish progressive goals while bypassing the democratic process and Congress.” In the CAP report introduction Podesta said, “the US Constitution and the laws of our nation grant the president significant authority to make and implement policy...The ability...to accomplish important change...should not be underestimated.” I believe the Catholic Church can provide you with some perspective on this “significant authority.” And now we get word that Obama’s admin-

istration is, along with Democrat governors, examining ways to bypass Congress to govern “more effectively.” We are supposedly an “advanced” civilization based on the important lessons of history. How is it therefore that this president and its administration just ignores the constitution and the rule of law? The importance of following rules is not a recent discovery or just an archaic sentiment prevalent on the political spectrum’s right. A little while back, Aristotle pointed out, “The rule of law is preferable to that of any individual.” There is really nothing to stop Obama from shabbily ignoring the constitution as he is doing unless Congress stops him or the voters get rid of him. In this regard, Congress is useless, so we have to send Obama and everyone associated with him packing.

You too Timmy Walz. Having said all of that however, the greatest danger to us as citizens and to our country is not Obama and mythical leftist utopian notions. It is the idea that liberty can take a back seat to other considerations. That is the slippery slope to the destruction of our society and nation. If we have lost that understanding of liberty’s importance, in the long run, it doesn’t matter what Obama or his successors in either party do. Our decline is foreordained. Given the lessons of history, Franklin thought it was inevitable.

Correction In the March 26 issue of the Fillmore County Journal, it was incorrectly stated that Preston Masonic Lodge #56 donated money to the food shelf. It should have read Masonic Lodge #36. Also, it should be clear that the food shelf gave the lodge a check, which was then sent to the Minnesota Grand Lodge, and that money, plus double, was donated to the food shelves.

State gains 6,200 jobs in February- unemployment rate at 5.7 percent ST. PAUL - Minnesota employers added 6,200 jobs in February, according to figures released today by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). The state has added 32,300 jobs in the last three months and regained more than half of the 156,300 jobs that were lost during the recession. The state unemployment rate ticked up 0.1 percent in February to a seasonally adjusted 5.7 percent. The U.S. unemployment
rate remained unchanged at 8.3 percent. “The labor market recovery appears to be gaining steam, with three consecutive months of strong job growth,” said DEED Commissioner Mark Phillips. “The state has now recovered 81,400 jobs since the recession.” Education and health services led all sectors in February, adding 5,100 jobs, followed by government (up 2,500), construction (up 1,300), leisure and hospitality (up 1,300), information (up

Chatfield considers water main Journal Writing Project improvements What would you do? By Karen Reisner The Chatfield City Council at their March 26 meeting authorized McGhie and Betts, Inc. to provide plans and specifications for two water main improvements for 2012. Mayor Don Hainlen and councilor Ken Jacobson were absent. The improvements are expected to improve water quality and provide a capability for better management of the distribution system. The two proposed connections include a connection of the water main on Winona Street to the water main south of Hidden Valley Estates, and a connection of the water main from the west end of Second Street toward Mill Creek Park, then south to connect to the water main at County Road 2. The Winona Street project will require the acquisition of an easement across a vacant property. The estimated cost for construction only of the Winona to Main Street connection is $65,000, and for
the Second Street to County Road 2 connection is $66,000. The design work by McGhie and Betts will cost $4,500 for the preliminary design and $5,000 for the final design. Other Business In Brief •The Chatfield fire service area was expanded to sections 22, 27, 34, and 35 in Sumner Township for all of 2012 for a fee of $863.00. •Authorization was given for the mayor and the city clerk to sign an agreement between the state and the city of Chatfield to receive a $25,000 grant through the Off-Highway Vehicle Trail Assistance Program in 2012 for the Chatfield ATV Trail. •The Chatfield Growers’ Market will operate on Thursdays from 3:00 p.m. through 6:00 p.m. from May 1 to October 31 in City Park. •Teal ribbons will be displayed along Main Street during the month of April during Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

By Kiah Halvorson Almost everyone knows Tim McGraw’s song “Live Like You Were Dying.” In the song, the man is diagnosed with cancer. And he’s thinking about the fact that he only has a month to live. While thinking about his life, he makes a list of what he wants to do with his short time left on earth. So, what would you do with only a month to live? If I were diagnosed with some sort of horrible disease and my doctor told me I only had one month to live, I would make the most out of those thirty days. A month is not long at all. I would have to fit a lot in to a short amount of time. The first thing I would do would be to say my goodbyes to all of my family and friends. That would be the
hardest part; telling them you love them and you don’t want to go. By letting them know that it’s okay and telling them that they should go on with their lives the mood may be lightened. The next thing I would do is to accomplish everything fun and exciting that I’ve always wanted to do. I would begin by traveling. I’ve always wanted to go overseas: Norway, England, France, Italy, Scotland, Ireland, and maybe Africa or Australia. I’d love to take in all of the culture, but with such little time, I’d only get to spend maybe two days in each country. I also think it would be amazing to skydive! If I had only a month to live I would totally do all of the high adrenaline
Page 7
sports: skydiving, racing, things of that nature! The last thing that I would do after all of the fun, would be to get on a motorcycle and drive. Just drive, with no place in mind, no specific time to be there, no instructions to follow. Being on a bike really helps you think about everything. Your head is completely empty and you have time and space to think. Think about your life. Think about your family. Think about what you’ve done and what you didn’t get finished. Time to analyze your good and bad decisions. Being on the back of a bike really lets you think about what you’d do if you only had one month to live. So what would you do if you only had a month to live? Kiah Halvorson is a student at Lanesboro High School. She is one of 8 area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its thirteenth year.

WHoM
WHY
it is:
it’s FoR:
YoU’d WaNt it:
Refi, short for “refinance,” is a process that may lead homeowners to lower monthly payments. Think of it as trading in your current mortgage for a newer model. The reasons to do it are many, but a low interest rate is a common one.
It may be time for a refinance if you suspect your monthly payments could be much lower due to today’s low interest rates. You may also want to consider a refinance if you have other debt you’d like to consolidate or you want to fund home improvements.
The Express Refi might be perfect for you if a) your mortgage balance is $125,000 or less, and b) you’ve been reluctant to go through a refinance because you heard it’s a hassle. If that describes you, the Express Refi was designed to be simple, fast, and easy. The fact that it has no fees* involved? That’s the icing on the cake.

tive effort between Barr Engineering and Yaggy Colby and Associates conducted a hydraulic analysis, as well as a seepage and stability analysis, and the design was forcibly changed several times. Yaggy Colby has now finalized plans, drawings, and project manuals and the city will be accepting construction bids. Results of the bids are expected as early as April 9, if there are no complications. “We will need to ensure that the levees are certified at the correct height prior to the laying of the trail,” noted City Administrator Steve Sarvi. “There’s a coordinated effort needed.” According to David Strauss of Yaggy Colby, the project bid will be separated into two sections, north and south. One reason for this bid split is to allow some leeway for the project should the

trail south and west of the railroad bridge crossing be deemed unacceptable to land owners. A meeting between the city and land owners will take place prior to any work on the trail. Weather permitting, the construction would begin in May and finish as early as July 13, just prior to the Rushford Days celebration. In other news, Witt’s Pharmacy & Long Term Care has received approval from the Economic Development Authority and the city to allow for the sale of the business to Astrup Drug of Owatonna. The sale includes the assumption of two EDA business loans. Tom Witt intends to pay the early 10 percent balance on all loans at closing, with regular loan payments continuing until then. According to EDA chairman Jim Wolter, the long term care portion of the business will be located in Owatonna. However,
the retail facility will stay in Rushford, along with local jobs. City Attorney Terry Chiglo insisted that proceeding with the approval of the sale would put the city in a better position financially, as having Astrup Drug assume the loans, Witts will still retain responsibility if overall default occurs. Essentially, the city has more people to recoup funds from if a default would occur. The sale could close as early as this May. The council thanked Tom and Vicki Witt for their years of service to the community. The city has also approved the awarding of one portion of the four electrical project bids recently taken. While two of the bids are for required FEMA recertification of the levee system, the other two bids are for planned electrical upgrades by the Rushford Municipal Electric Commission and were offered

as potential projects within the bid to garner better bid results. The bids were to be paid on unit, rather than a whole, so the city could proceed only with portions based on existing funding levels. “These were outstanding bids,” noted Sarvi. “Let’s get these projects done. They’re the last major piece in a decade of work.” Sarvi also noted the upgrades would make the system safer and more efficient. The project will include the upgrade of electrical systems, including underground installation, and will cost $73,000. The first two required projects total $643,341, of which $636,000 the city has already bonded for. The city’s portion of that required work cannot exceed that amount. The city also continues to ponder its scheduled move to the vacant former Municipal Liquor Store. Entering into an agree-
ment with CRW Architecture & Design Group for professional design services for the renovation of the municipal liquor store, the city has been told to expect three potential designs for the converted facility. Councilor Roger Colbenson questioned the need for an architect to facilitate the conversion. “It’s necessary if we want to use any USDA funds,” responded Sarvi. “If not, I’d still strongly recommend we use an architect,” he continued. The schedule for the project is fairly aggressive and Sarvi has been in contact with USDA, who will have to be notified of any changes in the work prior to it commencing. It’s expected that besides some deconstruction, interior walls will need modification, as will plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. Bidding could come as early as April. See RUSHFORD Page 11

The items in the facility have been catalogued for impending sale. The profit from the sale of furniture and fixtures could be designated to pay for a portion of the project or to pay down the deficit in the city’s liquor fund. “I encourage us to keep costs of the project well below estimations,” stressed Councilor Vern Bunke. “I think we should avoid borrowing any more money.” The city is eligible for borrowed USDA funds, which could be paid back to USDA at any time without penalty. “It depends on our cost needs,” said Sarvi. The city plans to have as many “rational” funding options as possible for consideration prior to selecting any design process. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, April 9, at 6:30pm, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Fillmore County Sports Trojan boys add to tradition By Paul Trende Only eight teams in the state of Minnesota ended the 2011-2012 boy’s basketball season with a win. That includes the Rushford-Peterson Trojans. They didn’t win the big one. They didn’t celebrate a state championship on the Target Center’s floor. They took home the 3rd place trophy, and celebrated at the Gangelhoff Center on the campus of Concordia University in St. Paul. Nonetheless, their 2 and 1 showing at state, their efforts all season, have been nothing less than superb. And the Trojans weren’t exactly far from competing for a state crown. They were roughly (potentially) a big toe away. Thompson Ensures 3-Game Experience R-P started their state adventure playing Prairie Seeds Academy (23-2), the Section 4A champion out of Brooklyn Park. Late in the first half, things didn’t look good. The Lycans built a 31-19 lead. But then R-P benefited from a rare 5-point possession. After a Cole Kingsley missed FT attempt, PSA was sited for an illegal substitution (a player entered the game with a different number then written in the book). It warranted a technical
foul. Kingsley made his second FT. Nick Thompson made one of two technical FT’s. Trent Vix, on the kept possession, nailed a threepointer. All told, R-P amassed a 9-0 run to end the half, going to the break down just three. Another Vix three early in the second tied the game at 36. From there, the Trojans scored points on 19 of their last 26 possessions. They made 10 of 14 FG’s during one stretch. The younger Kingsley’s aggressiveness was one big key. Cole had four of those makes, scoring 10 of his 11 in the second half. Thompson was the other big key. He got 21 of his 34 points in the second half, making 5 of 10 threes for the game. Vix added 11. Jorli Hauge grabbed 13 rebounds (9 defensive) to go with his 9 points. The Trojans made 11 of 14 FT’s down the stretch, building the lead to double-digits in the final minute. They blockaded any chances Devin Buckley (17 points), 6’7” Gage Deis (14 pts, 12 rebs, 8 assists), and the other Lycans, could pull off a comeback. The green and gold prevailed 74-68. Total free throws were a huge key. R-P made 26 of 35 (Thompson alone was 13 of 16), PSA 5 of 10.
That Pesky Big Toe The win moved R-P to the semis. They faced 27-1 Southwest Minnesota Christian, the Section 3A champs out of Edgerton. The Eagles lone loss came to Worthington by a single point. They entered on a 21-game winning streak. It was a battle. Thompson and Vix were the two best warriors. By halftime, Thompson had 12, Vix 9, and the Trojans a 28-22 lead. SMC coach Jamie Pap must have lectured his team about defense at halftime, particularly ball pressure. In the second, junior guard Klint Knutson hounded Trent Vix from two seconds before the in-bounds pass to two seconds after each pass/ shot. The Eagle’s defensive intensity made every R-P movement difficult. They held the Trojans to just 2 FG’s over the first 7-plus minutes. R-P’s defense matched the effort though. They held SMC to two FG’s over the same span. An Austin O’Hare bucket at the 10:04 mark gave R-P a 34-26 lead. The Eagles countered with more FG’s, three, in a 1:32-span, than they had in the previous 9:19. The 7-0 Eagle spurt trimmed R-P’s lead to just 34-33, setting up the thrilling, and semi-controversial, finish. A three-pointer by Dominic Nibbelink (4:31) gave SMC a

38-36 lead, its first since 7-4. Vix answered back from way deep 21 seconds later, putting R-P back ahead (39-38). It was tied or back-and-forth until Andrew Top made two FT’s (0:24) to give SMC a 45-42 lead. With 12 ticks left, Thompson launched a long ball that found its mark. He seemingly tied the game. But the bucket was ruled a two. Officials convened and reviewed the shot via replay. They confirmed (didn’t reverse) the two-call, confirmed SMC led 45-44. R-P fouled immediately. Top made one of two FT’s. Thompson got one more, sprinting-upthe-court, desperation NBAthree for the win, but it was wide left. SMC prevailed. They did so (possibly) by the length of Thompson’s left big toe. Nick led all scorers with 20 points (10 rebounds). Vix was second highest with 14. Top led SMC with 11 points, though the Eagles had five players score 7 or more. R-P had just the two. The Trojans did hold 6’9” Zach Huisken, a 19-point, 12-rebound player coming in, to 7 and 13. Neither team shot well from deep (R-P 3-13, SMC 3-20). The Eagles made two more FT’s (13 of 23), but R-P shot a higher percentage (11 of 14). Fourteen R-P TO’s (to SMC’s 9) was one critical difference. SMC also had
more points in the paint (22 to 14), second chance points (10 to 6), fast break points (6 to 0), and bench points (9 to 0). Some how though, R-P was ahead (or the game was tied) for roughly 30:50 of the total 36:00 minutes. SMC lost to undefeated Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa in the Class A title game 54-45. That Pesky Trent Vix Ensures Third After a very tough loss that ended the R-P dream of competing for, winning, a state championship, it would’ve been very easy for the Trojans to not show up for the third place game, or show up in a lesser capacity. Well, on the second account, they did. Nick Thompson puked before the game. He was noticeably rubbing his (illness irritated) eyes and nose before the tip. The Kingsley brothers also weren’t, hadn’t been, exactly 100 percent healthy, throughout the tournament. Nonetheless, the Trojans played the same way they’ve played all season, hard and disciplined. They were most certainly in it to win. Their opponent, 25-6 Mountain Lake/Butterfield-Odin (located about an hour SW of Mankato), wasn’t quite so engaged. The Section 2A champs came out flat. Jorli Hauge reaped See SPORTS Page 13

the whirlwind of not being boxed out. He collected four put-back buckets early on (had 13 first half points, 15 for the game). Nick Thompson and Trent Vix seemed dead set on disintegrating the nets. They combined for seven long-range makes in the first 18:00. The Trojans ripped off an 18-0 run, taking a 17-10 advantage and building on it big time. At one point, ML/B-O had 14 TO’s and 12 points. At halftime, it was a 26-point R-P advantage (43-17). The game’s verdict was pretty much a formality from there. The record books weren’t. The
Trojans threatened two marks. As a team, they nearly got to the Most Three-Point FG’s Made in a tournament game mark (17). They nailed 15. Trent Vix assaulted the individual 3-Point FG’s Made mark (10). He nailed six, step-back, high-lofting, rainbow bombs in the second half, adding to the three that found twine in the first. Most were from closer to NBA range than high school. He was reinserted into the game late for a go number at #10. Trent got a three up. It just missed. It was back to the bench! All the reserves from both teams got a taste of on-court state tournament action. R-P coasted to a 75-48 victory, a 3rd place crown. It was their

26th victory of the season (versus 6 losses), a school record. The Wolverines, after a sluggish first half, got better efforts in the second half from big-men 6’4” Beau Herrig (14 points, 6 rebounds) and 6’6” Carter Kirk (14 points, 5 rebounds). Vix’s performance (9-17 from deep, 27 pts, 5 stls) and Thompson’s effort (5-10 from deep, 19 pts) were perfectly fitting caps to their tremendous careers. Their final performances were near perfect paradigms of they’ve done, and what has made them so fun to watch, over the past two seasons. The senior duo, one of the best in SE Minnesota, one of the best in the state amongst small schools, for the past two seasons, went out right. Their stars shined brightly on the biggest Minnesota prep hoops stage. Both made the Class A All-Tournament team. Their reward; a possible trip to Disney World! Just hours after arriving home from the Cities, all the R-P seniors left for the class trip in Florida. The towns of Rushford and Peterson shined on a bigger stage, once again. In Minnesota boy’s basketball history, spanning single-class, two-class, and multi-class eras, Fillmore County has produced 16 boys state tournament teams. Chatfield has one (2005), Preston two (1929, 1973), Peterson one (1986), Rushford one (1989), and R-P 11 (1991, 1997-2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2012)! The latest just added to the Trojan tradition. With three soph and two frosh contributors, plus players off a very good B-squad, there’s a strong probability they’ll add more. With Tom Vix as head coach, there’s a strong probability they’ll add more. It won’t come easy. R-P wasn’t the only Three Rivers team successful on the state stage. Plainview-Elgin-Millville pulled out a win in the Class AA quarters, and then rolled to 17 and 16 point wins in the semis and finals, grabbing their first state title. And thus, the Trojans won’t even hang the most prestigious 2012 state banner in the conference! Track Results 03-22 Byron Invitational (Chatfield boys and girls each finished 2nd of 5)

The Working Mom By Tammy Danielson Life’s Little Surprises A few years ago, I had the pleasure of listening to a presentation at work about “happy people”-- Why are they so happy? What is it about their inner structure that has them whistling on the way to work as they pass their co-workers on the sidewalk who are dragging their feet and briefcases? I am sure you can think of someone who fits in this category or have seen them in their car in the parking lot---you know, the one with the “Don’t Worry…Be Happy” bumper sticker. What I do know is these people see the world and what it has to offer as a reason to get out of bed in the morning and their glass is always half full. My personal opinion is that a small step on the way to being happy is to recognize and appreciate the little things and allow yourself to be “surprised.” To get there a person needs to start believing and standing by all of these catch phrases: don’t prejudge, give everyone a chance, don’t decide your future before it happens, every cloud has a silver lining, find the good in everything. I know this may sound cheesy to some of you, but if you can truly do this, the surprises you find can make your day. And, the surprises, no matter how small, are pretty great.
For instance, my usual after 5:00 routine is to pick up any last minute grocery items we cannot live without until the next day. Now, normally I don’t mind the extra stops, but on this particular day I was dreading getting out of the car and trekking into the store… my feet hurt, I was tired, not my usually perky self, and could have nodded off in the checkout line if given a chair—pillow wasn’t even necessary. But, being the diligent grocery-getter (that my husband is not), I stopped to pick up milk, bread, and cheese. When I got home to put them away, lo and behold there was already a gallon of milk and cheese slices in the fridge, and a more expensive, brand name loaf of bread on the counter. I was in shock…seriously shocked. I knew my husband HAD to have been the one to stop to get them, but this was the first time in 15 years that we doubled up on the quick staples because HE beat me to the punch and picked them up. That was an unexpected surprise that made my night and, even though we had more than enough now, I was sure to thank him for picking those things up. Another recent little surprise came from my great-niece Katryn.

When I asked her if we should measure her to see how tall she has gotten, she replied, “I bet I am as tall as a panda!” Huh? She is a very spirited five-year-old who remembered after almost two years where we kept my son’s growth chart in the closet of his old bedroom. Surprise. She quickly ran to the closet and turned her heels to the wall to be measured. “How tall am I Tam?” she asked. She was proud to find out she had surpassed the baby panda and was on to the next animal on the growth chart. And, lastly, during a recent visit from my aunt and uncle, I brought out old photos hoping to find out some family history---since my dad has passed and my mom has been in the care center for 16 years. All of those questions I hoped to be asking my parents were now going to my mom’s brother to try to decipher. When I opened the old family trunk full of our family pictures, I found a small box of photos I hadn’t seen before. Where and when did my mom ever get them? Well, my aunt and uncle could quickly recognize friends and family from years ago and to our surprise, secretly wedged between a set of photos, was a small scrapbook that held only five photos. Those photos were of my mom and one of her brothers (my visiting uncle) when they were in junior high and they were showing off the valentine crowns they received in school that day as king and queen of their respective classes. Two photos were very blurry, but the other three were enough of a shock for my uncle to see and brought on the tears for
both of us. A secret surprise from my mom…she is still working her magic. So, try to recognize and cherish the surprises that come your way each day---it is a great balance to the other stressors that life might bring. And, there will be no stress but just FUN and great handmade crafts at the Working Mom and Fillmore County Journal Craft Show on Saturday, April 7 from 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Fountain Community Center on Main Street. There is a hot dish contest starting at 11:30 a.m—bring it in hot and ready to be judged. Prizes will be given, and
there is no fee to register….just email or call me to register (tamsbeads@ yahoo.com or 507-273-1414). We also will have two working mom makeovers at 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and the lunch counter will be open, so swing in there for a bite to eat. Look for the craft show advertisement in this paper. And, speaking of hot dish…give this one a try:
Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
1 tablespoon butter 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles—(add fresh jalapeno instead if you want to kick it up a notch) 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup 1/2 cup sour cream 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast meat 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided 6 (12 inch) flour tortillas1/4 cup milk Directions: 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking dish. 2.In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the green onion until tender (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add the garlic powder, then stir in the green chiles, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Mix well. Reserve 3/4 of this sauce and set aside. To the remaining 1/4 of the sauce in the saucepan, add the chicken and 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Stir together. 3.Fill each flour tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll up. Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. 4.In a small bowl combine the reserved 3/4 of the sauce with the milk. Spoon this mixture over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly. Add diced tomatoes, avocado, or crushed tortilla chips if you like.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
Beth Wilms appointed shared Community Services Director more, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca, and Winona have been discussing the possibility of coming together in order to improve human services at a lower cost over the past three years. In December of 2011, Accenture LLC was hired to provide an operating model and a business case. Accenture project manager Mark Howard explained how events have driven the need for more efficiency including increased demand for human services due to the recession and an aging population, reduced state revenues causing a cost shift to the counties, and reduced county resources. Howard noted the operating model has been built from the bottom up, from scratch. At this point Accenture is looking at how best to govern the organization or Service Delivery Authority (SDA), how the cost is to be distributed among the counties, and how to pay for the transition cost. They are looking at what each county and the whole region spend on human services today, what they will spend if nothing changes, and what they will expect to spend if the counties implement the SDA. Accenture’s projections show a significant cost avoidance which means under the SDA the region would spend significantly less than they would if they continue as individual counties. Over five years the 12 counties together could avoid about $30 million in costs, or 11 percent. State and federal cost avoidance could be about $61 million over five years, or 9 percent. Projections show costs will continue to go up, but at a lesser rate. Howard said Accenture has looked at different formulas for funding. The formula he presented will balance 50 percent on ability of each county to pay or tax capacity and 50 percent on demand for services or population. Counties that spend relatively little per population and tax capacity now
Experience
Historic
Bluff Country
(including Fillmore County) with this formula actually may spend more in the SDA than they would on their own five years down the road. However, they may be providing additional services. Howard said they can’t have winners and losers. With the 50-50 formula about half of the counties would be winners in five years and about half losers. He said the challenge is how to distribute the $30 million cost avoidance to the counties. Commissioner Duane Bakke said this county always has bragged about our lower spending while still doing a good job. He said he was concerned about equalizing the benefits among the counties. Bakke suggested the cost differences between the counties with relatively low cost now and those that are on the other end of that spectrum are due partly to the spread between counties on wages and case loads. Amunrud noted that the larger counties are going to experience a faster growth in population. Howard asked if current spending proportions should be locked in? Amunrud said counties that have been very prudent in their spending could be penalized. He was also concerned about being pushed around by the larger counties in the governing model. Amunrud
acknowledged that with the SDA more programs would be available. Howard said there would be an improvement in availability of services and the level of services. Amunrud suggested Fillmore County will likely be forced into an SDA by the state in the future, if it were not to join one on its own. Other Business In Brief •Medical Examiner Lindsey Thomas, Regina Medical Center, Hastings, detailed the limitations at the present hospital facility for medical examiner services. Eight counties including Fillmore County participate in the joint powers agreement for services at the Regina Medical Center. She suggested there is a better option than building a stand-alone building to house the medical examiner services. Hennepin County Medical Examiner Andy Baker showed the medical examiner facility across the street from the Hennepin County Medical Center. The facility is well equipped and has adequate room, including some areas that have not been finished. Both suggested a partnership with Hennepin County may be the most economical way to go versus the cost of a stand-alone facility or the problems associated with the present limited space. It was suggested they could maintain the same level or bet-
ter level of service for Fillmore County. Thomas said Dakota and Hennepin counties are working on cost figures. She said it would cost less than a stand-alone facility and more than the current facility. Bakke said he thought it was a great idea and that distance and time is not an issue. Sheriff Daryl Jensen said the change for the county would be minimal. •New access permits were approved for Summit Ag Fund I, LLP, Section 20, Bloomfield Township and Martyn Sholtis, Section 20, Jordan Township. Both new accesses are necessary due to property splits. •A resolution was approved in support of improvements and the straightening of Minnesota Hwy 16 in the area of Duschee Creek between Preston and Lanesboro. A resolution was also sent to MnDot from the city of Lanesboro requesting the improvements for the safety and health of local residents. Twenty-five businesses signed a petition asking for a review of the accident log for Hwy 16. The county asked that MnDot “replace and straighten this road west of Lanesboro during planned repairs to Minnesota Hwy 16.” They also requested the addition of a truck lane. Bakke insisted this is “one of those things that should have been done.” •On April 28 at 1:00 p.m. the Fillmore County Historical Society will dedicate the genealogy library.

High risk season for oak wilt Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educator for Fillmore/Houston Counties Janelle D a b e r k ow, University of Minnesota Extension Educator-Horticulture, has issued a warning to stop pruning Jerrold Tesmer Oak Trees now! High temperatures, accompanied by sunny or partly cloudy conditions between March 13 and March 20 were conducive to emergence of Colopterus truncatus. This is one of the two
principal nitidulid beetle species that transmits the oak wilt fungus. The lack of snow cover during the winter of 2011-12 and higher than average temperatures for the month of March are the basis for the earliest calendar date shifting the risk status of spreading Oak Wilt from “safe” to “high” risk in Minnesota. This means that pruning of all Oak trees should cease for 2012. This updated status for the Oak Wilt risk season will begin 10 days earlier than ever before. Based on recent weather and the flight activity of the beetles that transmit the fungal pathogen, the high risk period began Sunday, March 18.
There are three Risk Season timeframes for Oak Wilt in Minnesota: High Risk, Low Risk and Safe. They refer to the probability that oak wilt will infect a tree. High Risk months in Minnesota are April, May and June. Low Risk months are July, August, September and October. Safe months are November, December, January, February and March. Avoid any wounding during the High Risk (and as much as possible during the Low Risk) period. No pruning and no construction activities should take place near the oaks. If a tree is wounded during the High and Low Risk months, seal the wound quickly (within 15 minutes) with one coat of shellac (preferable) or a water-based paint. If oak wilt is in the area, it’s the High Risk season,
The FCJ reaches over 12,000 household each week. and the wounding is unattended for more than 15 minutes, the probability of infection rises dramatically. The red oak group (red, black, Eastern pin, northern pin and scarlet) are more seriously affected by the disease-causing pathogen. Once infected, they do not recover and die very quickly, often within 4-6 weeks of infection during the growing season. The white oak group (bur, white, bicolor) can become infected, but they often live with the disease for a long time before dying. This lengthy period allows tree care professionals to intervene, even after infection, and can often save the trees. A qualified tree care professional will prune out the dead wood (if the disease hasn’t progressed too far)

designed to elicit positive statements from a random sample of Rushford area residents in response to the question, “What do you like most about the Rushford area?” Carolyn Dunham, Project Director, conducted the research for the Rushford Area Branding Council, a sub-group of the Rushford Area Chamber of Commerce. Dunham reports that the results will be at the same time familiar and challenging. “The uniqueness of this project was that it was the first known random sampling of Rushford Area residents, which either can reinforce past research results, or reveal new things we’ve always known but just haven’t noticed before.” The results of this survey will be used by the Rushford Area Branding Council to help them arrive at a Rushford area brand that will help to attract visitors, prospective residents, and businesses and industry to the area. The brand will “put the area on the map” as a center for rural progress and development. The Findings Presentation will include a presentation by Dr. Dunham followed by a question-andanswer session led by Rushford Branding Chairperson, Doug Botcher, for audience participation.

are participating in the Root River Valley Earth Day Celebration by encouraging you to shop local. And when you do you can win some great prizes. Adults can participate in the Quest for Local Loot and it’s so simple. Participating businesses will have a Quest Poster in their windows as well as a pinwheel by their doors. The Quest runs from 10 am – 2 pm on April 28. Quest brochures will be available at the tent in Sylvan Park on April 28 as well as in participating businesses. For example, you
and if licensed, inject the tree with a systemic fungicide. In most cases, the trees will recover if there are no other health problems affecting them. If oak wilt is established in oak woodland, it is especially important to prevent the spread of the pathogen through root grafts. This is done by cutting through the connecting roots using a vibratory plow. This will need to be done by a professional, preferably a Certified Arborist and if done correctly is a very reliable technique to reduce the amount of oak wilt spread. For more on Oak Wilt and Oak Wilt risk status in Minnesota please visit: http://www.myminnesotawoods.umn.edu/2010/03/oak-wiltrisk-status-in-minnesota could win an overnight stay for two at The Cottage House Inn as well as other great prizes. Winners will be drawn at 2 pm by each participating business. If you win you’ll receive a phone call.

Fillmore Central approves staff development program By Jade Sexton At the Fillmore Central School Board meeting on March 26, Superintendent Richard Keith explained a staff professional development company called Editure. He had spoken to the teachers about it at a recent faculty meeting, and felt it would be beneficial to use their services. A special part of the program, according to Keith, is an observation piece. The superintendent, principal, or another teacher will observe the teachers. Keith said the MREA (Minnesota Rural Education Association) has picked up a big chunk of the cost for schools that want to participate. The first year there will be a $2,500 joining cost, plus $2,000. Each year after that will just be $2,000. Keith said the cost is comparable to other programs. They may have to have an early dismissal once a month in order to make
time for training for the teachers. The board approved the program, which will replace SEMLAC (Southeast Minnesota Learner Achievement Collaborative). Technology Update Keith said the technology committee met recently and discussed the direction they want to go bringing more technology to the students. They would like to go with MacBook Air for the high school students, and iPads for the elementary students. They also discussed the possibility of needing more staff support when more technology is added. They are currently looking at costs and funding options. Board member John Torgrimson, who is on the budget committee, said they discussed technology at their recent meeting as well. They decided they will need to come
up with $100,000 to update the infrastructure at the school in order to support the new technology, and for the extra support staff. They are looking at leasing options versus purchasing as well. Staffing Changes The board approved the resignation of Athletic Director and math teacher Jane Montgomery. Montgomery has been with the district for 35 years. They also approved the resignation of Diane Hadoff, who has been with the district for 22 years. The board expressed thanks to both for their years of service. The resignation of Jill Hoover, custodian was approved. Hours will be increasing slightly for paraprofessional Kaynell Rindels. She will be at seven hours a day due to student needs. Paraprofessional Terisa Scrabeck will be increased to seven hours a day twice a week for student needs as well.

Spring Valley City Council hears audit report By Gary Peterson “Things are in good shape.” That was the statement made by Tom Wente of Smith Schafer & Associates after he walked the Council through the latest Financial Summary for the City of Spring Valley. Wente handed out a presentation that outlined the various budget information and then went over each category. Property Taxes are based on the annual tax levy. Tax collections totaled $741,798 and the Market Value credit was $57,445. The Tax Increment Revenues for 2011 was $158,441 and TIF revenues are used for debt service and developer payments. In 2010 the Tax Increment Revenues totaled $171,926. The often-mentioned LGA Revenues represents 35 percent of the City’s governmental revenues in 2011. In 2011 and 2010 the revenues totaled $797,702. The Governmental Fund Revenues remained at virtually the same level they were in 2010, nearly $800,000. On the Expenditures side the numbers dropped from last year. In 2010, expenditures totaled $199,923 compared to 2011 of $190,325. These numbers reflect costs attributed to Mayor and Council, elections, administration and finance, legal, employee safety, planning and zoning and municipal building. The expenditures decreased by $9,598 from 2010 to 2011. Expenses were higher in 2006 due to maintenance
and repairs of $57,866. Public Safety Expenditures spent a total of $346,859 in 2011 on public safety compared to 2010 of $339,493. Police expenditures increased by $10,911 in 2011. Fire expenditures of $66,191 in 2011 were supported in part by: Township contributions of $7,622, State fire aid of $13,993 and charges for fire services of $12,130. Public Works expenditures increased by over $23,000 due to higher repair costs. Parks increased from $180,872 in 2010 to $192,670 in 2011 due to community center remodeling costs. The library saw an increase of $22,031 in 2011 due to higher salaries and benefits costs. Community and Economic Development Expenditures decreased in 2011 to $93,820 from $97,820 in 2010. The unassigned General Fund Fund Balance was set at 118 percent in 2011 up to $1,239,722 from $1,109,633 in 2010. The Library Fund balance was $144,061 as the result of the City levy of $109,568. The Library fund balance equals 88 percent of 2011 expenditures and the Library generated an excess of $1,774 in 2010. The Park Fund balance operated at an excess of $371 in 2011 and currently has no reserve. The Economic Development Fund was reduced by $7,535 in 2011.

On the Utility Fund side the electric service is supported by ratepayers and the rates did not increase in 2011 while purchased power cost increased. Operating Revenues and Operating expenses nearly cancel each other out at over $2,100.00. Water Fund saw an increase in rates in 2008, 2009, and 2010 and no rate increase took place in 2011. Commercial usage up and lower expenses in 2011 due to employee turnover resulted in an increase in net income. The Sewer Rental Fund is also supported by the taxpayers. There was a loss in 2011 which totaled $46,919 after depreciation expenses of $176,366. In 2004 depreciating capital assets were in 2004. The Stormwater Utility Fund was established in 2005 and operating expenses include $26,892 of depreciation and totals over $75,000. The Ambulance Fund was established as an Enterprise fund in 2010 and transferred $25,000 to the Capital Improvement Fund for emergency equipment in 2011. There is no debt in the ambulance fund. In Summary; •the General Fund unassigned fund balance equals 118 percent of annual general fund expenditures. •The Capital Improvement fund balance of $774,958 is available for future capital needs and reserve fund was closed in 2011. •LGA and market value credit provided $855,147 while property taxes provided $741,798 in 2010 revenues. •all debt service funds are being adequately funded and all outstanding bonds are being paid on a timely basis. •Revenues in the City’s five utilities are generally keeping pace with rising operating expenses, servicing all debt requirements and developing needed reserves for future capital projects. In other business, the Council approved a price increase for Epi Pens for the ambulance. The price has increased from $110.00 to $125.00. The City had advertised for bids on the demolition of the house at Center and Griswold. The low bid was from O’Connell Excavating and Plumbing for $10,300. The total cost includes a dumpster, tearing down the house below ground level, and filling the basement with clean dirt. The price also includes demo of
Power outage in Preston Thursday, March 29, 2012, around 11:16 am, many people in Preston were left without electrical power for almost an hour. City employees believe the power outage was caused by the failure of a lighting arrestor at the south substation. This led to an over current condition, which caused the fuses to blow at the substation. The Preston Public Utility crews switched the electrical feeders on the south side over to the north substation. The south substation is still being investigated to find the cause of the problem. Everyone had electricity restored by 12:05 pm.
