Mabel grocery store closes By Jade Sexton jsexton@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The grocery store in Mabel, Hometown Foods, recently closed its doors, leaving the residents there with no choice but to travel outside of town to purchase food. The city and the EDA, however, are working to replace the store and to meet the needs of the people of Mabel. Kirsten Wyffels, president of the EDA (Economic Development Authority), said they are still in the preliminary stages, but are looking into options such as a co-op. “We’re working on gathering information on what has
worked for other towns and what has not, and we’re looking at funding,” shared Wyffels. They are still looking for a site in town that would be the best location. The first step before doing anything is a Feasibility Study. This must be done to determine whether it’s feasible to pay for a grocery store in Mabel. Wyffels said losing the store has been hard on the community, but they are doing what they can to help. Right now they are looking for volunteers to deliver groceries from Red’s See MABEL GROCERY Page 7 Comment on this article at www.fillmorecountyjournal.com

had said at the last meeting that the county shouldn’t prohibit the mining of a specific product and committee member David Williams agreed. Williams suggested if they prohibit a process or as County Engineer John Grindeland suggested certain kinds of mining operations, then they will be prohibiting mining that injects chemicals or could cause the leaching of chemicals into water. Corson agreed they should attack the process as they don’t want chemicals being used or problems with the water table. “Underground mining, tunneling, shaft mining, auger mining, or hydraulic dredging for minerals or metals is prohibited.” Chairman Tom Kaase suggested they list prohibited processes, but include the words “not limited to” only these processes.

SAND COMMITTEE Continued from Page 1
asked Graves to produce more detailed maps for Newburg, Amherst, Pilot Mound and Holt Townships to overlay existing quarries to provide more information for the question of setbacks. No chemicals will be allowed to process excavated materials. There was a discussion if sand should be able to be moved to another mining site to be washed. Operator Richard Frick suggested it would be efficient if two landowners side by side could drill one well and work on one site. Roy House read a portion of a paper put out by the Wisconsin DNR concerning the use of large volumes of water. Bakke said the DNR appropriates water usage. They have a priority list which places industrial use of water last. Donna Rasmussen, SWCD, asked if the DNR always reviews the CUP. Bakke said they can request that they do. Rasmussen maintained that the goal is to prevent dewatering if possible. It is important to maintain a ten foot separation vertically to an existing water table. Landowner Geoff Griffin questioned a possible limit on the number of loaded trucks per day that can be removed from the mining site. He asked if the capacity of the road should be
taken into account. Frick said in Winona it may be if haulers pay an aggregate tax, there can not be a limit. Bakke said they should analyze the final document from Winona County which is expected May 1. After some discussion concerning a time limit on mining operations, Corson suggested it isn’t unreasonable to limit mining operations to 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. six days per week, no mining operations on Sunday. Bakke suggested operating time limits could be a condition added to a CUP. A prohibition on bright lighting suggested by Williams last meeting was eliminated for safety reasons. Corson felt language limiting the placement of stockpiles to 50 feet from the road right of way was appropriate. Language requiring a detailed plan for reclamation has been added. A reclamation plan map may be required drawn to scale. Bakke wanted to know how difficult or costly this kind of map would be to produce. Frick suggested it should be up to the land owner’s discretion how the property is reclaimed. Kaase said there needs to be a standard for the reclamation plan. A paragraph that seeks to transfer the obligations and responsibilities with a transfer of mining permit rights was discussed. Corson said it is a good idea, but questioned how best to phrase it to avoid legal challenges. Bill Sullivan asked
who is liable for reclamation, owner or operator. Graves said the owner is. Bakke stated it is the owner’s responsibility to make a good agreement with the operator. Corson said there should be an assurance bond for reclamation. County Coordinator Karen Brown asked how the county board would know how to value that bond. The possible requirement for a financial assurance bond for road repair was discussed. It was noted that the Winona County Attorney has offered an opinion on the legality of this kind of requirement. Maps Bakke questioned the accuracy of the maps that show deposits of St. Peter and Jordan sandstone in the county. He pointed to an area where the map shows a fairly large area of St. Peter sandstone and said this area is really good tillable land right now. Rasmussen explained that the first confining layer is where bedrock is first encountered. This is probably less than 50 feet down in most of the county. Bakke said the areas the map show with sandstone deposits would shrink considerably if it was limited to those areas where the sandstone was less than 10 feet down. Paul LeDuc suggested they overlay CER ratings with the maps showing St. Peter and Jordan sandstone. Bakke said what if they didn’t allow mining on

Volunteers needed for State park cleanup May 5 Rushford, MN— It is time for Forestville State Park to get ready for the summer camping season. TriCounty Electric Cooperative (TEC) is hosting a clean-up day at the park on Saturday, May 5 from 8 a.m. to noon. Volunteers will help with prairie seeding, trail maintenance and general park cleanup. TEC encourages families, youth groups and other organizations to participate. Volunteers should plan to bring work gloves and wear appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor work. The project is part of a statewide effort by Minnesota Touchstone Energy cooperatives called GreenTouch in which many state parks throughout Minnesota will be spruced up the same day. TEC rotates the location of GreenTouch Day between three state parks in its service territory: Beaver Creek Valley, Forestville and Great River Bluffs. “The managers at our local state parks really look forward to us hosting this event. With limited budgets,
it is a great way to help them get ready for the summer season,” says Brian Krambeer, TEC’s president/ CEO. After the event is over, volunteers can enjoy the remainder of the day at the park with a free day permit. TEC provides snacks and beverages for volunteers so please contact Annie Hoiland at TEC by calling 1-800-432-2285 or emailing ahoiland@tec.coop if you plan to attend. Getting there: Forestville State Park is about six miles south of Wykoff. Entrance to the park is four miles south of State Highway 16 on Fillmore County Highway 5, then 2 miles east on Fillmore County 118. Tri-County Electric Cooperative is a member-owned electric distribution cooperative serving three counties in Minnesota including Winona, Houston and Fillmore and parts of Olmsted and Mower counties in Minnesota and Howard, Winneshiek and Allamakee counties in Iowa. It provides electricity to more than 12,800 services in the area. TEC is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative.

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 household each week.
C ommentary Climate Change By Stan Gudmundson In a recent column a writer said, “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) support the evidence supported by the scientific community as well as changes advocated by Al Gore.” Really? On March 28, 2012, the IPCC released a statement that said the following: “There is medium evidence and high agreement that long-term trends in normalized Col. Stan [ p r o p e r t y ] Gudmundson losses have USAF (Ret) not been attributed to natural or anthropogenic climate change.” Did you notice that statement “high agreement”? How big a deal is this admission by the IPCC? Although it appears to be somewhat narrow, this admission is huge. In terms of impact it is akin to the Pope declaring that the Sunday after next, Catholics will all become Lutherans. Well, maybe not that big, but still. An earlier Journal writer also contended that 97 percent of American science professionals find manmade influence on climate change to be indisputable. The “97 percent” number is used to try to convince us that consensus is real. It is not. Moreover, science is not consensus and consensus is not science. In 2010, 141 scientists (signed) a letter to the United Nations challenging the junk science of the global warming cult, declaring “climate change science is in a period of ‘negative discover’ – the more we learn about this exceptionally complex and rapidly evolving field the more we realize how little we know. Truly, Editorial Cartoon
the science is not settled. In addition, a year later, in response to the East Anglia “Climategate (1.0), over 1,000 scientists expressed concern about the validity of the whole notion of climate change.” Another author says, “The release of new data has delivered one body blow after another to the ‘climate change’ fanatics. Several major planetwide studies have been released over the past couple of years, showing no significant global warming at all...The East Anglia fraudsters...were trying to “hide the decline” in global temperature data.” In Climategate 1.0 the “experts” in East Anglia also said they would destroy their climate data rather than releasing it for others to study. That was a real confidence builder and now we have a second release of e-mails. As National Review says, “dubbed Climategate 2.0 (they) show members of the discipline’s inner circle discussing how to fudge calculations to achieve the desired results by, for example, selecting the most favorable time periods for comparison and adding correction factors to smooth over inconvenient results...when some researches expressed uneasiness...they were shouted down or threatened.” We need to get off the oil treadmill and do things like drive electric cars someone contends. Pure electric cars? Okay, and electric cars get their electrical power from where? 45 percent of the electricity available in the United States comes from coal-powered plants. By the way, methyl-mercury comes from which sorts of smokestacks? So, assuming electric cars are evenly distributed across the county, 45 percent are coal-burning cars. They aren’t electric cars at all. “Electric” cars are powered by coal, hydroelectric, natural gas,
and nuclear energy. A tiny number are wind powered. Given the sources for their electricity, how many miles per gallon do these crummy souped-up golf carts get anyway? I would hope there are good estimates out there but I am not aware of what they are. Fewer and fewer people believe in the “faith” of manmade environmental change. There is not enough evidence. Moreover, everywhere we turn we find the “experts” are flat out lying or fudging data to make their case. Finally, many in the environmental movement really don’t believe in it themselves or don’t believe its science is important. Ottmar Edenhofer is a co-chair of an IPCC working group. In the world of environmentalism, he is a big shot. He recently said, “(One) must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy...One has to free oneself from the illusions that international climate policy is (about) environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore.” As one author put it, “When climate science is no longer about the climate but rather about ways to engineer a massive transfer of wealth from developed nations... it is no longer science...(it is) a ruse.” Moreover, since the ‘60s, the efforts we have made to clean up the environment have been nothing short of spectacular. Which leads to some questions about how far have we really come and how far do we have to go? If we have improved the environment by 80 or 90 percent, why haven’t we also correspondingly reduced the size of the EPA and MPCA? If the war on pollution is largely over, why is the environmental army still so big and their budget so large? How big should these agencies be just to maintain the high environmental quality we now have or to continue work to improve the environment without involving themselves in
things they shouldn’t be doing? The EPA now is a monster that has gotten completely out of hand. It needs a RIF (reduction in force). It’s difficult to have a proper understanding of humanity’s impact on the earth because we are almost always near people or around evidence of human development. Years ago I spent a year on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. Later I had the privilege of flying the SR-71 for five years. I also was a U-2 mission planner, planned anti-drug reconnaissance missions, and had opportunities to review film of the Amazon basin. What strikes me most about those experiences is not the impact of humanity on this Letter about compromise with Iran To the Editor, American hawks called for military intervention during the runup to China’s first nuclear test in 1964. Luckily rationalists prevailed and diplomacy gave birth to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in 1968 under which 184 countries have voluntarily renounced nuclear weapons because the five nuclear nations promised in Article VI to eventually get rid of theirs. In 1993 Bill Clinton went to the brink of a disarmament war with North Korea to prevent proliferation. Only the wise and courageous trip by Jimmy Carter to NK and his diplomatic negotiation effort brokered a deal in the final moment and prevented war. When the US strayed from the prior successes of diplomacy to prevent proliferation and invaded Iraq in 2003, we learned, through the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), that Iraq had no weapons of mass destuction (WMD). The alleged threat from Iraq’s WMD was at bestplain wrong or at worst propaganda. Only diplomacy and cooperation with the IAEA and negotiation mediated by the United Nations can prevent proliferation. Part of any successful negotiated compromise with Iran and NK has to be evidence that the major nuclear powers are moving toward a comprehensive treaty to eliminate all nuclear weapons and moves to establish a nuclear-free Middle East and East Asia. Send a postcard to Pres. Obama, The White House, Wash. DC 20500 and Sec’y of State Clinton, The State Dept., Wash. DC 20520 and demand a negoiated compromise with Iran and NK; and say that a policy of containment is better than war which would be the worst outcome. Robert K Johnson Harmony, MN

planet, but the complete lack of evidence of human presence on the vast majority of our globe. It gives one a little different and better perspective. Finally, is there any way to have a serious discussion about environmental issues and also include Al Gore’s name in it? Letter about road safety To the Editor, We are writing today to remind readers about safety on our roads and highways. Construction season is starting, and we and our fellow coworkers will be out on the roads everyday working to make sure they are safe and in good driving condition. We are MnDOT highway maintenance employees. In Minnesota, it is the law that when traveling on a roadway with two or more lanes, that drivers need to keep a lane away when passing a stopped ambulance, fire truck, law enforcement or road maintenance/ construction vehicle. If you are not able to safely move away a lane, reduce your speed. Unfortunately, this law was passed in memory of a State Patrol Trooper, Ted Foss, who was killed in August of 2000 while conducting a routine traffic stop on I-90 in Southeastern Minnesota. We know many of our coworkers have “close call” stories from their days on the job on the side of Minnesota roads. Let’s help prevent the next crash by being attentive and moving over and slowing down when you see flashing lights—it’s the law! Sincerely, Brian Meyers, Scott Novak, Terry Wilson, Mike Junge, Travis Batzel and Neal Hinners Preston and Spring Valley Truck Stations Letter in response to letter about abortion... To the Editor, I respectfully wish to say that all persons have a right to their opinions. I would like to respectfully disagree with Ms. Nyenhuis letter regarding abortion. I would have never done this in years past but I am concerned about the path of our “choices in my different areas.” First, Ms. Nyenhuis, makes the argument that jobs and the economy are all people are worried about. I worry about the path our country is taking in many areas and especially morally. Pro-life, pro-choice, there are many advocates on both sides of the issue. Taking a human life is wrong. The innocent baby is the one who suffers most, and in abortion with life itself. In one of Ms. Nyenhuis statements she said, “The difference between pro-life and pro-choice positions is how best to deal with the dilemma.” One simple question: is a human life, an innocent life, a dilemma? They have taken God from our schools, there are those that wish to take God from our government and sometimes we are even being threatened in our religious beliefs. Life is important and the miracle of life is important to me!!! Respectfully, Margaret Miller, Mabel, MN
The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County
Spring Valley discusses liquor license change By Gary Peterson The Spring Valley City Council met on Wednesday night, April 18, and spent a good portion of the evening listening to citizen input on several matters. The first was a Public Hearing on an Ordinance Change which would allow two Off-Sale licenses in a separate building from an on-sale establishment. Currently combined licenses are prohibited and state that no combination of on-sale liquor license and off-sale-liquor licenses shall be issued to a person or persons operating within the same premises. Apparently the key phrase is which two establishments connected by a door way would qualify. The current ordinance proposal is not to exceed one. There was citizen input and testimony on both sides. Don Lanning stated that “Spring Valley is and always should be a one license town and that there’s a reason for that.” The
reason for it was not made clear, but there was discussion of the city’s owning and operation of the municipal liquor store. The Council will take the proposal for the ordinance change under advisement. The S. Broadway improvemnt assessment drew several residents. Everyone had seen the plans and had just a few questions regarding the project. The project will begin on May 14 and will affect S. Broadway Park to Spring Street. Officials believe that the project will last all summer, into the fall and probably carry over into 2013. The assessments shall be payable in equal annual installments extending over a period of ten years, the first of said installments to be payable with general taxes for the year 2012 collectible with such taxes during the year 2013. The first installment shall be added interest at the rate of four percent per
annum on the entire principal amount of the assessment from the date of the resolution until December 31, of the year shall be added interest for one year at said rate on the unpaid principal amount of the assessment. A couple of side issues. Someone asked about the sidewalk on Gideon and they were told it will be four feet and that the city will not go outside the project to do driveways, etc. The hearing concluded after approval from the Council. Approval was given to accept the low bid on the South Broadway project. That bid is Elcor Construction of Rochester. It is $1,923,463.41. Council also approved the bid of Pearson Brothers, Inc of Hanover, MN for the black top projects that the city will be doing this year. The bid is @$1.48 per sq. yard. The total price will be $65,000. On May 22, the Council will
Fillmore Central discusses technology needs By Jade Sexton Fillmore Central’s technology committee met recently to further discuss options for offering more technology to the students. Superintendent Richard Keith and board member Jim Love spoke to the board at the regular meeting on April 24. “We discussed more specifics about what to put in the schools,” said Keith. “We looked at the short term and the long term, and the funding.” According to Keith, they are looking at getting iPads for the elementary students, around five or six for each class. They would also like to get one or two carts with MacBook Air laptops for the high school students. This plan is just the first phase of the project. Keith added that they would probably need a full-time technology director instead of part time like they have now. There would also need to be training
for staff. Love said the estimated cost for 30 iPads, 30 computers, printers, four Smart Boards, 30 MacBook Airs for the high school, and 20 laptops for staff is around $127,000. “That’s the minimum we would like to do to get things started,” said Love. Board member John Torgrimson suggested they look at the option of a technology referendum. Shelly Topness was worried the taxpayers would not approve. “I think we’ve been generous to the taxpayers these last few years,” said Torgrimson. “I think it’s something we should be really committed to. It’s something critical for the educational needs of our kids.” He added that if the district doesn’t go this route, there will be another set of challenges, such as not offering the students what other districts are offering. “I think it’s where we need

to funnel our excess dollars,” said Love. The goal is to have a plan in place for the next school year, and to come up with some funding ideas for the future. High School Scheduling Principal Heath Olstad spoke to the board about a possible new schedule for the high school next year. He has been looking at options for offering math and English classes all year instead of just one semester. They would also like to keep the four-period block schedule. One idea he mentioned was adding a sixth period four days a week that would rotate. That would mean teachers would not have a prep hour on those days, and would be working an overload. They would have to come up with a memo of understanding for the contract. Olstad added that there would be a total of 18 days less per semester for that class, which he felt was a lot. Another option is to look at going back to an eight-period day. But Olstad feels the four longer class periods help prepare the students for college, and work better for classes that have labs. He would like to stay as close to the four-period day as possible. He told the board he was open to any ideas. Chairperson Ross Kiehne

Rushford moves forward with city hall By Kirsten Zoellner Architect Jose Rivas, of CRW Architecture and Design Group, has presented updated plans and cost estimates to the city for its planned remodel and move of the city hall into the vacant, former municipal liquor store. The transition of city hall to the 4,500 square foot facility, lending city function 2,700 more square feet than it’s currently using in the west end of the Tews Memorial Library Building. The two scenarios, “A” and “B,” both call for making the most use of existing plumbing, electrical, and mechanical services, as well as interior wall space. The bulk of the work involves demolition, rough carpentry and framing, architectural woodwork and casework, and some electrical/lighting, and plumbing. Both options would offer no open access to staff work area, instead utilizing a lobby and business window. In the former retail area, three staff members would occupy the work area, with a separate city administrator office, large storage room, small storage room, and a map room/flex office. The bathrooms would remain the same. The former bar area will become the council chamber area. The only noticeable difference in the two options is a larger, wider chamber area and a hallway break area for staff in option “B.” According to Rivas, option “A” utilizes existing walls more efficiently. Cost estimates for option “A” ring in at $162,750, while option “B” is $169,575. Both figures include a $15,000 furniture/ equipment allowance, if needed. An optional electrical generator is not included in the figures, but would require an extra $26,000 to $41,000 if purchased. Mayor Hallum was the sole suggestion favoring option “B.” “I’d like to open up the chamber more, so people can see us and hear us, with the new sound system. It serves the public. Is $7,000 worth a better presentation to the public? I think it is.” City Administrator Steve Sarvi noted that city staff preferred option “A” due to less demolition and the configuration of the rooms. Another staff concern is the council meeting only twice a month in the large chamber area. “Can we better utilize the area?” asked Sarvi. Option “A” was chosen in a 3-1 vote, with Councilor

Option A design of the former Rushford Municipal Liquor Store which is to be transitioned to the new Rushford City Hall. Design by CRW Architecture + Design Group. Roger Colbenson opposed. “It’s the price I don’t like. The citizens might begrudge us for spending money on it,” he noted. “$22,000 for general conditions, permits, and bonds?” “Yes,” responded Sarvi. “Contractors will have to provide a bid bond and performance bond.” Councilor Robert Dahl also questioned what funds would be utilized to make the project a reality. The city has received preliminary approval from the USDA for the project. The USDA funds, a loan opportunity granted back in March of 2010, was geared initially for a library/city hall project, and is not to exceed $2.234 million dollars, at a current fixed rate of 4 percent, for a 40-year term. The funds can be repaid at any time without penalty. Another option is to try to find the money internally, a move which could potentially deplete other needed funds. For now, the city is leaving its funding options wide open. “We don’t want to do this in a way where we worry about the details later,” cautioned Mayor Hallum. Now that a design scenario has been chosen, Rivas will begin to put the bid package together. “You have an asset down there,”

he asserted. “Find a purpose for it with a desirable outcome. In this case, with city hall moving and opening up the space to the library, you’re getting two positive outcomes.” Prior to any transition and remodeling, the council is moving forward with the sale of equipment from the former liquor store using Request for Proposals (RFP) to maximize potential sales. They hope to have the building cleared out by May and anticipate being done with the entire project by summer. In other news, the city has once again tossed around a potential reduction in fees at the City Aquatic Center, as well as the continuing topic of resident versus non-resident fees. Councilor Bunke, who was absent from the meeting, but in a note to the city administrator favored a reduction in fees for the 2012 year. “A reduction in fees would have to be offset by usage. I’m not sure that will happen,” noted Administrator Sarvi. “Residents would pick up financial shortfall.” “The non-resident share, since 2002, has crashed,” noted Councilor Mark Honsey. “I’m of a similar mindset as Mr. Bunke. We’re not going anywhere with the express difference in resident and non-resident fees.” “Frankly, the pool was not designed for the majority of users, age 12 and under,” added Sarvi.

“Will a reduction effect the attendance? Maybe. Will it effect the profits? Maybe.” City Clerk Kathy Zacher pointed out that while daily attendance would potentially suffer only a $200 shortfall if a reduction in fees was put in place, lessons could suffer a substantial $4,500. “Looking at other municipalities and clubs, it’s standard to charge a resident/non-resident or member/ non-member fee,” she stressed. “I feel like our residents deserve the advantage,” added Mayor Hallum. “It’s a premium for those that do live here. They bear the brunt of the losses.” Honsey suggested an effort be put forth with surveys of pool attendees. “The resident and nonresident fees, it’s an issue that causes some heartache. If we want peace here in the valley, with the village and Peterson, this could be a step forward.” Aquatic Center Manager Robby Ebner also recommended that the difference in fees be eliminated in his end of year report for 2011. “He doesn’t see the money end of it though,” quipped Sarvi. “No, but he hears the day to day gripes about it,” responded Honsey. The council approved the fees to remain the same as in 2011 in a 3 to 1 vote with Honsey opposed. The next regularly scheduled city council meeting is Monday, May 14, at 6:30pm, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

in Spring Grove to Mabel residents. “We are trying to help our community out,” said Wyffels. “There are people who can’t drive or get to the grocery store, and those are people that we are worried about.” After the feasibility study, the EDA will get started on a business plan and look more into options for a co-op. Wyffels said that co-ops have worked well in some communities, and not in others, and they have a lot of research to do. Mayor Liz Folstad said they would like as much community involvement as possible, and she thinks a co-op might be the answer. “We are looking at getting a grant to get a building built and allow the co-op or whatever organization we choose to go with to rent it and operate it as a grocery store again,” said Folstad. She added there is no confirmation as to what land they might use, and they are still willing to talk to Patty Vatland, the owner of Hometown Foods, about using that location. “We are in the very baby stages of everything,” stated Folstad. “The feasibility study should be back this week, then we can prepare a business plan.”

re monotes from a country kitchen by Vicki Christianson
It’s spring so time to think “spring cleaning”! I think the first thing everyone likes to do is throw open the windows and let the fresh air in! I live very close to a heavily-traveled gravel road so throwing open the windows is not something I do very often. The road runs to the east of my house so opening any windows to the east or to the south is not always an option. When the pickups and trucks roll by and the wind is out of the east or south the dust can roll across the yard and right over and through my house. I do open my kitchen windows to the north and west but don’t always get a good breeze from that direction. My two doors with screens also face the south so those doors don’t get left open very often. My clothes line is to the south of the house so I have to be careful which days I can hang laundry out or air out blankets/pillows. Nothing smells better than freshly laundered sheets and bedding that has hung on the clothes line all day!! And if it’s really windy you can hear the sheets snapping in the wind! Every wrinkle gets blown out! When we were kids spring meant taking all the storm windows off and putting the screens on. That was a job! First we had to pry the storm windows off and hope not too much paint came off with the windows. Then we hauled all the windows to
the garage or storage shed for the summer. We didn’t wash them – waited till the fall when we put the windows on and then we washed them up. Sometimes we had to add a little putty too. Once the storms were all pat away we started bringing out the screens and hauling them up to the house. We laid each screen, one at a time, on a pair of saw horses and then hosed them off. If we didn’t have a hose we used a pail of water and an old rag. We had to clean away the dust and cobwebs from the winter months. Next we washed the outside of the inside windows. One of us kids was usually on the inside washing the window as the other washed from the outside. We used vinegar water and either crumpled up newspapers or an old dish towel for drying. We washed the same window at the same time so we could watch for streaks and then point them out before we moved on to the next window. If the screen was ripped or torn we would holler for dad and then he would come and fix the tear or remove the screen and piece in a new one. If the tear was fairly small a nice piece of duct tape would cover it nicely! Mom or dad usually hung the

screen as they tended to be quite large and heavy. Just about every window on the house got a screen. After all the screens were on we would start opening as many windows as we could. Every now and then one of the windows wouldn’t open and dad had to do some pounding and digging with a screw driver. Most of the windows did not stay up by themselves. We had heavy sticks or bricks to prop them open with. After the windows were taken
care of, we moved on to those big old rugs that were scattered throughout the house. We would drag them outside and fling them over the clothesline. Then mom would hand us an old broom and tell us to beat the crap out of the rugs! This tended to be quite fun! After we were done beating on them we would leave them hang in the sunshine for the day. Dad always checked the lines on the clothesline each spring too. One
place we lived at had wire lines on the clothes line and another place had heavy plastic lines. Dad checked to make sure none were broken or about to break. He also checked the wooden clothesline poles themselves. If a pole was starting to wobble or had a break in it he would find an old steel fence post and pound it into the ground right next to the wooden pole. He wired the two poles together and we were ready to go for another season!

cause of senioritis. Another cause of senioritis is the teachers piling on huge loads of homework when they realize they have a lot to make up for before the pending A.P. exams. Furthermore, the combination of toiling in the same building for 690 days of one’s life and spending it with the same classmates can make for a very severe case of Senioritis. Symptoms of senioritis include severe lack of motivation, frequent procrastination, and increased visits to Facebook during school hours. Speech can become impaired and conversations that follow in the form of “Hey man, do you have the answers for our homework that’s due?” “Yea, but they probably aren’t right.” “That’s all right, I don’t care” are good indications of Senioritis. If teachers or staff members start to notice a dwindling supply of late passes, the principal should probably be notified, but he won’t be able to do much because
if the disease has progressed to that point the students’ “give a darns” are already busted. Once contracted, Senioritis is impossible to cure fully. However, extended weekends, movies during class, and home- baked goods can ease the severity of the disease. The only known procedure to fully cure Senioritis is to dress the student in a cap and gown, walk him across a stage, and inject a diploma into his hand. Senioritis is a severe disease that should not be taken lightly. To all my fellow seniors out there, in all seriousness, do your best to make your teachers, coaches, and parents proud of what you have accomplished these last four years. We are on the home stretch now. Katie Wolter is a student at Rushford-Peterson High School. She is one of 8 area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its thirteenth year.

This disease is highly contagious, Katie Wolter and outbreaks have been recorded throughout all of the nation’s high schools. Senioritis has many causes but the most common include one too many surprise quizzes, spending many hours a night studying test material and then realizing the next day you have studied for the wrong test.

Unresolved issues slow plans for SE Minnesota redesign By Karen Reisner The Fillmore County Board discussed issues that have yet to be resolved with the proposed redesign business plan at the board’s April 24 meeting. Twelve southeastern Minnesota counties have been looking at the possibility of creating a twelve county Service Delivery Authority (SDA) over much of the last three years. The counties include Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca, and Winona. Accenture LLC has determined that the redesign model could provide human service programs more efficiently. However, a major hurdle to the SDA model is the development of a formula for shared cost avoidance between the counties. Commissioner Chuck Amunrud noted that three options for the business plan have been discussed. The business plan makes some counties winners and some
losers. In an upcoming steering committee meeting Amunrud said there are more questions to be answered on the business plan. The disparity is in large part due to the unevenness in population size of the various counties. Commissioner Randy Dahl asked about a plan to form an SDA with like size counties. Community Services Director Beth Wilms noted state legislation requires an SDA to serve a population of 55,000 or more. She questioned what a model would look like with eight counties. Wilms said state law requires the SDA to be in place by January 2014. Dahl said so far it “has been a good process to hammer out a template.” He suggested we may down size to a lesser number of counties. Amunrud said they need to determine what a business plan would look like with eight or four counties. He added that he would like to see
Chatfield’s AA rating affirmed By Karen Reisner City Clerk Joel Young reviewed the latest long term rating from Standard and Poors at the city council’s April 23 meeting. Councilor Paul Novotny was absent. At the council’s February 27 meeting, the city council approved a resolution to trigger the advance refunding of the 2008A bond if the refunding could provide a net savings north of $250,000 and authorized the mayor and city clerk to sign the purchase agreement. The refunding is on the principal amount of $1,900,090. The 2008A bond financed the new water tower, boost-
er station, and construction of Hillside Drive. Mike Bubany, David Drown and Associates, Inc. reported that the net savings the council required had been achieved. The actual savings are $328,000 and the present value savings or net savings will exceed $260,000. The lower interest rate is fixed for the life of the bond. The council adopted a resolution which affirmed the already signed agreement by the mayor and city clerk. As part of the process to refund the bonds, Standard and Poors reaffirmed the the city’s long term rating as AA/stable. The report did note

Fillmore County be part of the creation of its SDA rather than let the state do it. Another problem to be resolved with the twelve county model is the question of how it or a smaller model might be governed. Other Business In Brief •An agreement with Doctor of Physical Therapy Lisa Stensrud was approved for therapy services. Lantha Stevens, Director of Nursing, said Stensrud would be engaged on a case by case basis when her services can be paid for with Medicare. •Social Services Manager Gail Bunge said Minnesota has renamed its food support program Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bunge said twenty-nine states have taken this name to conform with the federal program. The purpose of the program is to supplement nutrition for low income households. She said the number of cases for the program that the city had a high debt burden in their opinion. However, the “city’s financial position is strong.” The Financial Management Assessment was upgraded from the last rating of “good” to “strong”. This is new, more positive terminology reflecting the city’s strong reserves and financial management. This is the third time the city has received a rating. Young maintained this is a really good report from Standard and Poors, saying we should be proud of that. The city only orders an update to its rating when they sell or refund bonds. The report concluded that “downward rating pressure could occur if the city were to draw down its general fund reserve balance below what we consider strong levels.” Other Business In Brief •Young reported that Jordan Boysen, a graduate of Chatfield High School who is majoring in public administration at Winona State University, is interested in serving as an intern with the city. The council approved his position for the summer months as an Administrative Intern. Compensation is not required for the position. •A temporary agreement with the city of Caledonia was approved. Caledonia had requested Chatfield provide a Class A wastewater operator to assist them until the end of May. This will require Chatfield’s operator, Daryl Haner, to be in Caledonia twice a week for three hours each day to fulfill the requirements of the MPCA. •A request by Tuohy Real Estate was approved which will move the parcel boundary about 100 feet between two properties they own along Highway 52. The two parcels are the EZ Fabrication building site and the former preschool property. •Tony Lammers described repair work that needed to be done including the rebuilding of catch basins near city hall and the plugging of a pipe near the elevator. A proposal to do the work from Griffin Construction Co. was accepted at an estimated cost of $1800. •The financial report for the first quarter of 2012 was reviewed and approved.
peaked in June of 2011. Numbers have gone down slightly since then. The average pay out per person on the program is $99 per month. •A resolution was approved to affirm the Commissioner Districts. The districts remain unchanged after the 2010 census. •An additional access permit to accommodate large equipment was approved for James and Cynthia Blagsvedt, Preble Township. •After a long discussion a resolution for a CUP for Scott and Karrie Ellingson for a ten site primitive tent campground was sent back by consensus of the board to answer some questions. The board is considering adding additional conditions including a 10:30 p.m. quiet time and a sign reading primitive tent sites
only at the entrance. There were safety concerns about the location of the playground. The camp area is setback 1,000 feet from a dwelling as required by the ordinance. However, there was a question whether the camp office and driveway must also be setback from a dwelling. A question was raised about the possibility of needing a variance before granting the CUP. •Commissioner Marc Prestby reported that with a recent bridge inspection of twenty-nine bridges, only three were in need of minor repairs. The board wanted the cost affirmed of a repair option to put a laminated deck on a bridge on CR 115. The repair expected to cost about $15,000 would make the bridge serviceable for an estimated 15 years.

SUV Shortage Lately I have had a lot of people ask me why I don’t have many SUVs on the lot anymore. Well the answer is easy. Remember back in 2008 when gas reached $4.00 a gallon for the first time? At that time it was nearly impossible to sell any vehicle that got less than 25 mpg. The big 3 auto companies scrambled to produce more fuel efficient cars, hence the production of SUVs basically came to a halt. One thing I have noticed in my 23 years of being in the business is that trends seem to take 3 years to take hold, as in 2011 with gas prices less, you could buy a fuel efficient car for a very reasonable price, just as now I have to pay a premium for SUVs and also full size trucks. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms.

The ways that individuals choose to plan their funeral have changed so much in recent years. People often have questions about cremation. You can choose to have a visitation with a viewing, followed by a traditional funeral service, and then be cremated. At our funeral home nearly half of the families who choose cremation choose this option. People often see the value of having a viewing and getting that chance to say their good-byes. The other option, of course, is to have a cremation first, followed by a memorial service. In either case most people still choose to have their cremated body buried in a cemetery. This allows family members to have a place to pay their respects. At Hoff Funeral Homes we operate our own crematory; this insures families that your loved one never leaves our care. With all of the options available to people today, we strongly advise people to pre-plan their funerals to insure that their wishes will be carried out.

i am thinking of buying a home and wondering what steps should i take first?
The decision to purchase a home is based on both tangible and intangible factors and is highly personal to each person, based on needs and wants. The following is a list of consideration. • What are your personal preferences regarding the type of house you would like? How many bedrooms, living space, garage, yard space, and location best fits your needs. • How long do you expect to live in the home you purchase? • What can you afford to pay each month for housing related expenses? This should include: mortgage payments, property taxes, homeowners insurance, & monthly utilities. • What additional expenses will you incur in moving expenses and deposits? • Credit scores and cash are two big factors when deciding which loan program fits your needs. • Do you have money for a down payment and closing expense or do you need to purchase zero down? After your personal assessment, contact a Realtor to guide you in your home purchase. Look for an agent that is certified as an ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative) or CRS (Certified Residential Specialist). As your agent we can answer all questions regarding Home Inspections, Financing Conditions, purchasing with or without a down payment programs, formulating an offer. We can represent you throughout the process right up to closing on your new home.
141 W. Fillmore St., Preston, MN Phone (507) 765-3600 www.scottspringerlaw.com/ What is succession planning?
Scott Springer, attorney Succession planning for a business is the process used to identify the who’s and how’s of continuing your business after the owner or key management people retire or die. Many times, succession planning involves a buy/sell agreement between partners or shareholders, but it can also involve cross purchase agreements or entity purchase agreements and life insurance policies. It may also mean a structured retirement. Succession planning also involves identifying the right people to continue the business. In many family businesses the identification is easy - but not always. Does the next generation have what it takes to run a business? Is there more than one family member that can or should be running the business? Will the business support more than one family member and their family? How will siblings be compensated? As an integral part of your business and estate plan, Springer & Gumbel can help you answer these and other important questions. As the adage goes, he who fails to plan, plans to fail. We’ll help you succeed.

www.rootrivervetcenter.com/ Dr. Linda Sifford Can spaying or neutering really help prevent cancer in my pet? Yes! Spaying and neutering your cat or dog totally eliminates the chance of developing ovarian, uterine, and testicular cancers. It also greatly reduces the risk of developing cancer of the prostate gland in males and mammary cancer in females. We highly recommend that all cats and dogs that will not be used for breeding be spayed or neutered at 5 to 6 months of age. Making the decision to spay or neuter your pet not only benefits your pet, but it also helps prevent unwanted litters which means that there will be fewer pets that are euthanized for lack of a good home. We all want our pets to lead happy healthy lives. Spaying and neutering is one of the best ways to show how much you care for your pet! The benefits of spaying and neutering greatly outweigh any disadvantages. Call us for more information on these life saving procedures.

my engine used oil. i’m always adding oil so why should i every change it? You should still change your oil and filter periodically to get rid of contaminants and sludge that build up in the crankcase. Just because your engine uses oil doesn’t mean the oil that’s in it stays clean. It doesn’t. It gunks up just as fast as the oil in an engine that doesn’t burn oil. In fact, it probably gunks up faster because of increased blow by due to the worn pistons and ring. If you never change the oil, sooner or later the filter will plug up. And once that happens, you’ve lost all protection against dirt and abrasives. Before long, the bearing will become worn and you’ll hear the rods knocking. Keep driving and something will eventually let go. End of engine. End of story. kEEp your vEhiclE going strong and your story going long. Visit Brown’s Tire today.

507-398-9115 • dan@perfectglossy.com i am designing my own tourism/marketing brochure. are there any basic guidelines to follow? a: Have you given the potential visitor a reason to pick up the brochure? Can the potential visitor clearly identify the target market at which you are aiming? Have you given a list of three benefits or reasons for a visit? Are there photos with people in them that the visitor can relate to? Do the photos illustrate the benefits the visitor will receive when visiting? Are there clear directions as to how to find the site? Is there a useable map with landmarks? Have you included a list of customer services available? Is the text short, provocative and interesting?

Fillmore County Sports Malley two-hitter, FC/L SB 1-0 By Paul Trende Of the ten 3-Rivers softball teams, Fillmore Central/ Lanesboro was the last to begin its season. They did so against Dover-Eyota. One really couldn’t tell the Falcons hadn’t played a game. FC/L put runs on the board in five of six innings. Taylor Case was a thorn in D-E’s side (3-3, 3B, 3 RBI, 2 R, SB; reached in all four plate appearances). Steph Erickson had only one hit, but 3 RBI’s. Victoria Peterson had only one official at bat (a 2B), but reached all four times (2 BB, HBP, SB, R). And then there was leadoff hitter/pitcher Morgan Malley. She went 2-3 (2B, RBI, 2 SB, 2 R, HBP) at the plate, and then shut down the Eagles from the mound (7 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 9 K’s, 0 BB’s). Factoring in five 1-3-putouts, and Malley (save for a first base-woman and a catcher) single-handedly retired 2/3 of the batters she faced. FC/L retired D-E 9-1. Home Run: the Calling of the Cards Three county teams met up with a vaunted Lewiston-Altura squad in softball the week of April 16. All walked away having witnessed the Card’s power first hand. One pulled off a big win. Chatfield got first crack at then 4-0 L-A. Each team had four hits. L-A made theirs count. Alyxandra Hohensee hit a solo HR (1-0 L-A) and Brooke Schilling a 3-run blast (5-0 L-A). Tori Woltz (1-3) drove in the only Gopher run as Chatfield fell 5-1. Schilling did the pitching honors for the Card’s too (7 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 10 K’s, Win). A night later in Peterson, both R-P (Haley Mueller) and L-A (Natalie Kalmes) slammed a HR. R-P built a 10-5 lead heading to the top of the 7th before holding on for dear life, 10-9. They handed the Cardinals their first loss (while earning their first win). Kenzie Lind, Mariah Mueller, and Kendra Crawford all had two hits for the Trojans. Losing must have aggravated L-A (or the wind was blowing out in Spring Valley). The Cardinals hit
five HR’s (Kalmes, Taylor Daley, Miranda Weilandt, and Danielle Harstad times two) versus GMLOK enroot to a 21-3 (5 inning) win. Sydney Johnson was 2-2 for the Bulldogs. It isn’t just Fillmore County foes L-A likes going deep against. They hit seven HR’s in three tournament games in Zumbrota, giving the Cards 15 for the week. They have 20 thru 10 games. FC/L BB, Season Sweep of GMLOK The high school baseball season is a couple weeks old and yet FC/L and GMLOK are already done with each other on the baseball diamond. The Falcons won game one (April 12) 5-2. After five innings on April 20, they were in control of game two 4-0. The Bulldogs then made it interesting. After a couple errors, Marshall Oeltjen drove in a run with a single. After a wild pitch, Perry Stejskal drove in two more with a single. The Bulldogs had runners on 1st and 2nd with one out (down 4-3), but failed to get the tying run across. In the bottom half of the inning, FCL replied. Garrett Boggs’ two-run single gave the Falcons a 6-3 lead. Tyler Eickhoff’s two-run single capped a five-run inning, the game. The Falcons moved to 2-3 with a 9-3 victory. Eickhoff (3-4, 2B, Sac Bunt, 2 RBI, R, SB), Dan Gatzke (2-3, RBI, BB, R), Zach Olstad (2-4, RBI), and Nick Ebner (2-2, 2 R, 2 BB, RBI, SB) all had multiple hits for the victors. Ebner got the win (5 1/3 IP, 3 R, 3 H, 5 BB, 4 K; 2-1 on the season). Oeltjen (1-2, 2 BB, SB, RBI, R), Stejskal (1-4, 2 RBI, ROE), and Sam Eberle (1-2, 2 BB, SB, R, ROE) led winless GMLOK (0-6). Eberle took the loss (4 IP, 4 R, 7 H, 4 K, 5 BB). FCL out-hit GMLOK 11 to 5. The Falcons left 11 men on base. Baseball 04-16 •L-A 4, Chatfield 0 (C: Justin Viss 1-1, 2 BB’s; Nate Skare 6 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, Loss (3-1). L-A: Zach Nelson 7 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 12 K, Win; Jack-

Have you ever seen a two-headed car? By Jade Sexton Back in the 1960s, Vern Knoepke of Preston was working at a body shop when he got the idea to put two cars together. He had two Oldsmobiles, one a 1953 and one a 1952, and he put them together so that both ends are the front of the car, with a steering wheel, hood, and everything else. When John Haugen owned the drug store in Preston, he was a member of what is now the Chamber of Commerce. He heard that this car was being stored in Canton, and he decided to buy it for $500. The car was painted and driven through many parades over the years. Right now Abe Junge is working on it so it will be ready to once again be driven through the Preston Trout Days parade.

The floor needs to be replaced, and it needs a new paint job. “We are trying to raise money for the restoration,” said Haugen. He said the Preston Area Chamber of Commerce has donated $1,000, and so has the Preston Area Foundation. The Christianson Foundation has offered to match any donations up to $5,000. The cost to restore this unique Preston mascot is pretty substantial. According to Haugen, the paint alone has a price tag of around $2,800. The total cost will be somewhere from $10-12,000. The project is being done in three phases. “The car was run by most of the business people in Preston during the ‘60s and ‘70s,” said Haugen. “They took it to all the parades in the area.” Haugen is hoping to have the outside of the car painted and looking nice before Trout Days on May 19-20. When it’s not being shown off in parades, he would like to store it somewhere where it can be seen. Haugen said he has been offered a spot near the lumberyard building. “I’m hoping to make a little landscaped display,” said Haugen. “My vision is to have it on a car trailer so people can see it from the road.” The engine of the car works great, and it has new tires. There is only an engine on one side, but Haugen said the steering wheel works from both sides. According to Haugen, a man recently offered to buy the car. He ended up making his own. “There aren’t many around,” he said. “We would like to take it to the Back to the ‘50s, a big old car weekend at the State Fair grounds, someday.” Anyone wishing to make a donation to the restoration project can contact Haugen or anyone on the Preston Area Chamber of Commerce.

Steve’s Auto open in Chatfield By Jade Sexton Steve Huper of Chatfield

decided to open up his own shop. The building has housed many things, including a flower shop, but it looks like it will be Steve’s Auto Care and Performance Center for a while. Huper opened up the auto shop in September, and it has been going strong ever since. “I thought I would give it a try, and it’s worked out pretty good so far,” shared Huper. Huper works alone, and he stays busy doing a little bit of everything. He works on cars, trucks, motorcycles, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, and more. “It’s a complete service center,” he said. “From oil changes to overhauls.” Huper is only 25 years old, and he lives outside of Chatfield. He grew up in Elkton, Minnesota, but graduated from Chatfield High School. He attended Winona Technical College for automotive technology. “I’ve always liked working on cars,” he shared. “I always enjoy coming to work, so that’s a good thing. I know a lot of people who hate going to work every day.” Huper gets some customers from the surrounding area, but mostly local people. It helped that he worked at Napa before college, so he got to know a lot of people in town. While he was in college, he worked for Gordy’s BP in Winona. He has also worked for McKay Repair in Preston, Bernard Bus doing mechanic work, Kessler Auto in St. Charles, and Valley Auto in the same location he is at now. Huper had a lot of his own tools and equipment, but had to purchase a lot to get his own business started. It was the right decision, and Huper is enjoying the new adventure. Steve’s Auto Care and Performance Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.

Preston’s parts guys
By Jade Sexton Mark Berry has worked at NAPA Auto Parts in Preston for a total of 13 years, and he has seen some changes over the years. Before working there, he worked at Curt’s Standard. He studied business at Rochester Community and Technical College. “I’ve worked on cars my whole life, so this is a perfect fit for me,” said Berry. His co-worker, Nate Bueltel, has
been there for nine years. Bueltel is from Chatfield, and he attended college in Winona for auto body and painting work. He is younger than Berry, but he has also seen how technology has changed their jobs. “It has gone from Mark looking up parts in catalogs to using computers,” he said. “It makes paper work a lot easier,” said Berry. Technology has been the biggest change Berry has seen in his years
working with cars and auto parts. “It went from mechanical to electronic,” he said. “I’m old school. I lean on him all the time.” “We make a good team,” agreed Bueltel. Between the Preston store and the one in Chatfield, which are both owned by the same person, NAPA delivers auto parts to Lanesboro, Wykoff, Fountain and more. “It used to take a day or two to have parts delivered,” said Berry. “But now we have someone making deliveries every 12 hours. That is a big advantage for the shops that we work with to have the parts the same day.” For a small town auto parts shop, the two employees stay busy. And they enjoy what they do. “I like it,” shared Bueltel. “It’s about the only thing I know. I don’t know any business better than I know the auto business. And I like the people.” NAPA not only sells parts for cars. They also supply basic hardware, camping supplies, and other items. And as far as vehicles go, they offer parts for pretty much every make and model. Berry and Bueltel can be found at NAPA in Preston Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

and a video on YouTube will be out soon. If you heard them last year you will want to come back. If not, you won’t want to miss this talented and versatile group. “The Has Beens” features Judd Nelson guitar and lead vocals, Pat Heaney guitar and vocals, Adam Heaney bass, Justin Nelson lead guitar and vocals and Terry McKinley drums. Retired teachers and longtime musicians Judd Nelson and Pat Heaney have been passionate about music all their lives. It was only natural that their sons Justin and Adam would follow in their footsteps. Adam and Justin have been playing music together since age 15. They’ve played in serveral bands throughout the years, including their current project, a blues & rhythm power trio called Local Rhythm. The father-son ensemble has united to form “The Has Beens,” a rock and blues band featuring Terry Mckinley on the drums. Join us in Whalan on May 19 for a spring day of music, a parade that doesn’t move, food, games, petting zoo, arts and crafts, and antique cars and tractors. Perhaps you are interested in being in the parade or would like to chat with folks along the bike trail as you display your talents and creations. Call 507-467-2535 for details.
