County hears report on home care feasibility By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com
of the program slowly. Erickson explained it is difficult to be in limbo; a date certain will allow employees to make plans. Dahl recommended a period of three months to sunset home health care, thereafter, leaving it to private providers. He added the objective is to leave nobody behind. No action was taken this day. Commissioners may make a decision at the next meeting. Veterans home Information was provided this day to commissioners from both Preston and Spring Valley, as requested, to promote their city as the best option for a future veterans home in Fillmore County. During this week any questions or requests for further information from commissioners will go through County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman to city officials or veterans home committee members. At the April 10 meeting each commissioner will mark a ballot selecting one of the two cities. Vickerman will announce the results from the balloting, after which a resolution will be drafted. There will be no “citizens input” at the April 10 meeting and no presentations will be allowed from anyone.

Preston commits cash contribution for veterans home By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com
At the April 2 Preston City Council meeting council members voted unanimously to commit $125,000 in support of a veterans home in Preston. Preston Public Utilities also has committed to a $125,000 contribution. These contributions will only be expended in the event a veterans home is approved to be built

in Preston. The commitment of cash from the city and PPU is part of a proposal that was drafted to be submitted to the county on April 3. Both Preston and Spring Valley were asked to submit their proposals to the county board to help the board decide which city will be endorsed as the location for a potential veterans home.

Jessica Erickson, Director of Nursing, reported findings from a home care feasibility committee study at the board’s April 3 meeting. She commented that home care services are hard to find in Fillmore County. The number of clients being served by the county have generally been trending down over the last several years. There are 15 skilled nursing clients, (includes injections, wound care, blood draws), 13 home health clients (personal care and light housework), and 50 homemaker clients (cleaning, laundry, errands). In all of these areas there has been a decline in the number of clients and visits except for a slight uptick this last year in the number of home health aide and homemaker clients (but less home health aide and homemaker overall visits). Eight of the homemaker clients also receive home health aide. Eight of the homemaker clients are currently on CDCS (consumer directed community supports). This makes the client responsible for finding services and provides an option which allows the hire of family/friends or private agency for cleaning services. Erickson noted everyone has the option to go to CDCS to hire a homemaker. Reimbursement for these services are determined by the state. Erickson said many agencies are not able to be sustained on the amount of reimbursement. The cost of home care services provided by the county are not cov-
ered entirely by other revenue sources like state, federal, and private insurance. In 2016 about $63,000 was covered by county levy dollars and in 2017 about $79,000 was covered by county levy dollars. This feasibility study will help commissioners make an informed decision as to the future of county provided home care services. Erickson noted that three local providers are interested in taking on clients and staff to provide these services. Commissioner Randy Dahl insisted we all want people to get good care. It is his understanding that there are agencies willing and able to do this. Commissioner Duane Bakke said, if we quit providing home care service, we want to know every client is taken care of by someone else. He also expressed concern about existing county home care employees and their ability to find employment with other providers or the possibility of some doing something else within the county system. Erickson said they could have a job fair for home health aides. Many providers in our area are short of staff. All three providers she has contacted want to be part of a job fair and hire additional staff. It was suggested clients would likely follow the home health care person they are familiar with. Erickson said there are a couple of options. They could sunset the program after a period of months to make sure clients have their needs met and to hold a job fair for home health aides. The other option is to phase out

C ommentary One Moment, Please... I’m praying for a rebellion By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal. com Nearly every generation rebels against their parents in some way, even with subtleties. To me, the most notable rebellion is what resulted in the hippies of the late 1960s. And, I think we are due for another generation of hippies. But, the next generation of hippies won’t necessarily Jason Sethre be dancing around half-baked at a rain swelled muddy concert at Woodstock. They will be rejecting what their parents embraced. The next generation of hippies will seek authenticity. They won’t want to be used as a poster child for their parent’s perfection in the form of a social media post. The next generation of hippies will reject a life based on the volume of social media views, shares, and likes validated by peer approval. Maybe our children of today will grow up to be the parents who play board games with their kids during a hiking or canoeing trip, excluding themselves from technology for a greater duration than their parents. And, they won’t share their experience with anyone else but the people present. Yes, no photo will appear on the internet! Odd, isn’t it? Only those present will ever know that it happened. But, it will be their moment; their memory to Editorial Cartoon
reflect on for a lifetime. And, they will talk about it. All of the things that happened that made that moment memorable. They will laugh about it and talk about it for decades to come. Our next generation of hippies won’t care to share their experiences with the masses. They will own their experiences, and they won’t be for sale on social media platforms. Kids and cellphones As I mentioned in my previous commentary, children have been given access to technology at too young of an age. Most of our children are not mature enough to handle what they have been provided with Smartphone technology. Kids are joining Snapchat, Facebook (not so much), and Instagram — all with innocence. And, then there is texting. Little do they know that they are exposing themselves to cyber-bullying, among other things. We have published stories about how schools and law enforcement are doing their best to address these issues. But, our school officials can only address that which they are made aware of — essentially doing their best to put out fires. Ultimately, it all comes back to the parents. All of us as parents are responsible for what we allow into the lives of our children. I hear stories from parents of students throughout our region on a regular basis, and the issues we are facing in our schools are disturbing to say the least. While we are in a better place than bigger cities like Rochester, there is still reason for concern.
In our region, we have a story about a 13-year-old girl who received text messages and Snapchat messages from another student telling her she was “fat, ugly, and had so many zits that nobody would like her.” Imagine if that was your daughter. And, then there was another story I was told about a nineyear-old boy showing classmates in his classroom pornography on his phone. This is happening in our schools, and our kids are being exposed to this! Even if your child doesn’t have a cellphone, it’s the kid sitting next to him or her on the bus or in the classroom that is showing him or her something you would deem inappropriate. Oddly enough, most schools have a policy about not allowing kids to wear hats in school, but administrations take no issue with kids bringing cellphones into the classroom. We have kids playing video games and taking photos for their Snapchat entertainment during classroom education time.
This seems like a system failure to me. Again, I repeat, most schools have a policy about not allowing kids to wear hats in school, but administrations take no issue with kids bringing cellphones into the classroom? Parents set a poor example Parents have used technology like a babysitter. It’s not a healthy situation. Parents will hand Smartphones or tablets to their children to make them happy (keep them occupied). And, really, our children just want our attention. They want our time more than technology. And, then there is the issue with parents showing up at youth sporting events and looking at their phones more than they are watching their children participate — the sole purpose they are supposed to be there. Apparently, whatever is on their phones is more important than their child. That’s the message they are sending, and their child takes notice. When you walk into a restaurant and see a table full of
people looking at cellphones with no acknowledgement of others at the table, that’s sad. I love to talk to people when we go out to eat, but maybe I’m just weird or old fashioned. From my perspective, cellphones should never be at the dinner table, whether at home or in a restaurant. You’re telling others at the table that there may be something more important on your phone than your time with them. That’s just plain rude. I’m praying for a rebellion I’m praying for our children. I’m praying that our children will be smarter than their parents. I’m praying for a rebellion. Will the parents of today be acknowledged as the generation that neglected their children in favor of technology? I hope our children figure out how to manage new technology in their lives without compromising the most important reason we exist on this planet — human interaction.
It’s time to act on Chronic Wasting Disease By John Zanmiller Director of External Relations Bluffland Whitetails Assn. West St. Paul and Granger, MN Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). If you’re not a hunter you may never have heard of this disease that has been detected in Minnesota’s deer. But it’s here, and it could cause a major change John Zanmiller in the lives of more than just deer and hunters. We need the legislature to have a real and honest debate
on the disease and how we can contain, if not eliminate, the problem. First some background on the disease. CWD was originally discovered in Colorado’s mule deer herd in 1967. Since then it has slowly spread into other 14 other states and Canadian provinces, and was first discovered in Minnesota in 2011. That case involved a wild deer shot near Pine Island. A nearby caged elk operation was also found to have a herd with the disease. In 2017 additional cases of wild and caged deer were discovered, and the DNR has been working to contain the spread with some success at considerable expense. The disease is very similar to Mad Cow Disease in cattle and Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease in humans. A misshapen prion causes a degeneration of the brain, causing the animal to suffer a slow and agonizing death. So far there have been no confirmations of deer to human infection, but one Canadian study and the Centers for Disease Control have cautioned against consuming infected venison. The presence of the disease is causing great concern among hunters and conservationists, the opportunity for deer hunting in Minnesota has a long and storied history. Generations have shared hunts and the fellowship of deer camp, stories of the legendary bucks, and the ones that got away. I don’t think anyone wants a future without this unique experience, it’s part of our heritage. But non-hunters should be concerned too. A healthy herd
in the wild and in caged deer operations is essential to our rural economies. Every fall you can walk into our local businesses and see the distinct patterns and colors worn by the hunters. These folks are patronizing our sporting goods shops, our restaurants, our grocery stores, our motels, our butchers, and our taxidermists. What happens to those small business owners? What happens to the revenue that came with the thousands upon thousands of Minnesotans who take to the field to get that buck of a lifetime? And what happens to those motorists and farmers who rely on the hunts to keep the deer numbers manageable? Diseased deer rummaging through corn, in contact with livestock, and wandering out onto the highway? The legislature has a real opportunity to do something about this problem now, but action has been slow and insufficient. We must face the reality that the disease is here, but we must insist on measures to contain the spread of the disease. Individuals, business owners, farmers, conservationists, and the Chamber of Commerce can be a big part of making changes a reality. We encourage you to contact your legislators and insist that real and comprehensive measures be taken to combat the spread of CWD.

C ommentary Preserving our farming heritage and investing in the future By Tim Penny President/CEO Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation Despite the occasional snowflake, spring is officially at our doorstep. While many of us spend the winter months Tim Penny hibernating, farmers have been busy planning for the season and are now awaiting the day when they can prepare the soil and get crops in the ground. We will soon start to see green sprouts in fields all across southern Minnesota, a visual testament to the prevalence of agriculture in our region. In fact, agriculture production and processing is a foundational element to our state’s economy, accounting for $57.5 billion in sales and more than 147,000 jobs according to the Minnesota Depart-

ment of Agriculture (MDA). At Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) we strive to not only preserve but to grow the farming tradition in our region. I recently had the pleasure of meeting with farmers at the North American Farm and Power Show in Owatonna. Many farmers in our region work on the same land that their parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents farmed. It is clear that the farm is more than a parcel of land to grow crops or raise animals — it is a living piece of family history. At the same time, we are faced with the reality that the average farmer is 55 years or older, and that not everyone has an heir to transfer the land to. At SMIF we want to ensure that farmland stays in production throughout our 20-county region. Our farmland retention program allows farmers to donate land as a charitable gift. SMIF then retains the land as an asset and would keep the land in production by a rental arrangement. The rent earned goes back into the local community, either through one of our 26 area community foundations, or as a donor advised fund. This is a unique way for farmers to make a long-lasting impact on rural Minnesota. This program keeps the land locally-owned and functional as farmland, while giving farmers a mechanism to provide a lasting legacy to the region. To learn more about farmland retention

and the 26 community foundations visit smifoundation.org. As we seek to preserve southern Minnesota’s heritage, we are also actively investing in a new wave of farmers and food producers that are contributing to a fast-growing local food economy. The FEAST! Local Food Network is a group of regional partners working to develop a coordinated and sustainable food system in southern Minnesota. The group is made up of representatives from SMIF, Renewing the Countryside, Minnesota Department of Agriculture, University of Minnesota Regional Sustainable Development Partnership, and many more. This network supports food and farming entrepreneurs by providing technical assistance, peer networking opportunities, and financial assistance, including the new Grow a Farmer loan program. This program offers loans up to $15,000 to help small-scale food producers purchase the equipment and supplies they need to be successful. Hare and Tortoise Farm of Zumbro Falls recently used the loan to scale up their operations by installing a waterway and purchasing a root washer for their vegetable farm. Another way the network is supporting the local food and farming system is through a new FEAST! Smart Start Initiative grant program. Four applicants will be awarded a total of up to $10,000 each to support individual farm and food entrepreneurs through a structured technical assistance and customized coaching process. This grant program will build community resources for creating a resilient food economy for southern Minnesota. It is a high priority at SMIF to support these initiatives, especially because our state ranks eighth in the number of farms, and tenth in the number of USDA-certified organic farms (MDA). Farmers are the backbone of our southern Minnesota economy, and we are honored to be in a position of providing tools to ensure that this legacy continues. As always, I welcome your comments and questions. You can reach me at timp@smifoundation.org or (507)-455-3215. About Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF), a donor-supported foundation, invests for economic growth in the 20 counties of south central and southeastern Minnesota.

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County in the Vietnam War from September 1968 until July 1970. He earned the ranking of Staff Sergeant (E-6), was a member of the First Air Cavalry Division and saw heavy combat while serving in the infantry as a machine gunner. Tom was a sharpshooter while in the Army, becoming an expert with many weapons, including the M-14, M-16 and the M-60. Thomas was a highly decorated veteran and was honorably discharged in 1970, having received a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, 2 Air Medals (for completion of 60-ormore Combat Assaults), Army Commendation Medal, National Defense Medal, Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, Vietnam Campaign Medal, 3 Presidential Citations, and a Decoration of Valor. His photograph/image as a member of the Army can be seen in or on the covers of many Vietnam War related books, magazines and publications and even can still be seen in today’s social media and video games. Upon his return from serving in Vietnam, he resumed the operations of the family farming business alongside his father, Francis. Thomas also was employed for many years at the Granger State Bank of Granger, Minn., and the First Southeastern Bank of Harmony, Minn. Thomas is survived by his daughter Sandra (Kyle) Miller, and two grandchildren, Drew Miller and Paige Miller, all of Kewaskum, Wis.; his son Joseph (Nichole) Fishbaugher, and two stepgrandchildren, Jaden Olson and Mia Mendel, all of Brookings, S. Dak.; his sister Genny Hanson, of Preston, Minn.; and a maternal cousin, Carolyn Kuester, of Kalamazoo, Mich.; two nephews, Keith Hanson of Spring Valley, Minn., and Kyle Hanson, of Cresco, Iowa. He is also sur-
vived by his former wife, Barbara (Matson) Fishbaugher, along with many lifelong friends and colleagues (especially Rich Bjortomt and Don Bellingham), and his beloved morbidly obese cat, Earl, who resides in Kewaskum with Sandra’s family. Thomas was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Lester and Clara (Miller) Lange; paternal grandparents Patrick Devine and Ella Mae Fishbaugher; parents Francis “Fuzz” and Alberta (Lange) Fishbaugher; one maternal uncle, Emery Lange; and one maternal aunt, Estelle Lange. Memorials/donations can be directed to the Wounded Warrior Project or to Tom’s grandchildren’s and/or stepgrandchildren’s college funds. “His (Thomas’) life is a testament to the reality that not every name of every serviceman lost in Vietnam appears on the Vietnam Memorial... Thomas, too, was a casualty of war.” U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Helen Landswerk Helen Landswerk, age 92, of Cresco, passed away Friday morning, February 9, 2018, at the Evans Memorial Home in Cresco, Iowa.

"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does." ~ Christopher Morley
By Barb Jeffers If it’s been a ruff day stop in and see Oakley at Granny’s Liquor and before you know it, you will be smiling and feeling more relaxed. Oakley, the store mascot at Granny’s Liquor in Lanesboro, Minn., has the type of personality that makes a person want to stop for a minute and soak it all in. Oakley is a two-and-a-halfyear-old Tibetan terrier who has grown up in the store as owner Lori Bakke started bringing him to work with her when he was a puppy. “He loves people and he loves being at the store,” states Bakke. There are many people that come in to Granny’s Liquor specifically to see Oakley and even bring him treats. “And he knows that,” explains Bakke, so when those people come in he is especially excited to see them. “He loves treats,” according to Bakke and he will perform tricks for them including shaking hands, sitting and laying down. “I have both kids and adults that stop at the store just to see him,” she says, and Oakley loves getting attention from each and every one of them. “All my sales people and reps love him,” notes Bakke and they look forward to their stops at Granny’s Liquor just to see Oakley and spend a few minutes petting him. “It’s amazing how people come in and find you have a dog in your store; it relaxes them,” Bakke comments, saying “they feel it’s more of a home environment” and it takes some
of their daily stress away for a few minutes. “He loves kids,” says Bakke, adding “he automatically senses when it’s kids” coming in the door and he is quick to greet them when they come in, to accept all of their kisses and hugs. Oakley is a rising internet sensation also as he appears in many of the Thirsty Thursday videos that Bakke posts on the Granny’s Liquor Facebook page. HERMAN’S SERVICE BakkeTowing gets a &lotAutomotive of positiveRepair com-
ments from people about seeing Oakley in the videos. They look forward to seeing him in the videos each week. “I have had many offers of people who want to take him,” states Bakke. Not only is Oakley an awesome dog, he is also non-shedding and hypoallergenic which is another plus. Oakley’s favorite activity is playing fetch and he is willing to play anytime.

National Pet Dayon April 11, 2018 By Mary Whalen Thoughts of “pets” are generally connected with a person’s home, however, Tim Lanning has been known to share his family’s pets with those coming into his Spring Valley business. On January 2, 2004, Tim became the manager of T.J.’s Liquor right next to Sunshine Foods off Highways 63/16 on the north side of Spring Valley. Many area residents will remember the gentle English bulldog named Stab whose presence was a treat for anyone, young or old, stopping in to make a purchase or even just to visit this canine. “It’s nice to have a pet in here,” says Tim. “It’s a great way to start up a conversation with someone.” Pets in businesses are not unique to T.J.’s Liquor store. In Spring Valley alone, the Jones’ Ace Hardware Store as well as the Hardware Hank — Valley Farm and Home Hardware stores have animals greeting customers. Plus, many remember little “Chester” who would dance on the counters at Rebecca’s Diamond Gallery as Becky Goodsell and her staff helped customers. Tim comments, “It’s just a great way for people to relate. Kids love to see him in here and if someone doesn’t like dogs...he doesn’t bother them.” After Stab took his last breath, See GUS Page 9

Gunther
Tim, “I thought he was a cool looking dog. I was talking to my wife about him and our kids overheard us. The rest is history!” There are so many rescue animals available if people are wishing to open their homes to them. “Adopting a dog is great,” reflects Tim, “I swear that sometimes when he looks at me, he is saying thank you.” Who wouldn’t say “Thank you!”
Bulldog/Mix Male • laRGe
Hi everyone, my name is Gunther and I need a new home. I am a BIG dog and I need an owner that can handle my size and strength. I sometimes think I am a small dog, and I like to jump and climb onto your lap. I also need to go to a home where I am the only animal, and where there are no children. It’s nothing personal; I don’t handle being around kids well. I am working on walking off my winter weight, so I would appreciate a family that is devoted to helping me on my weight loss journey. If you are an adult only home looking to have one animal be your fur-child, I’m your guy! Please come meet me!

to one who brings him into his home, takes him to work almost every day, and even sets up a little bed for him in the store? Gus, the T.J. Liquor store dog is said to be a real sweetheart. And customers, especially those who missed Stab, are delighted with Tim’s addition in his business. The biggest question people ask is, “What happened to his eye?” Although with many rescue animals, the “how” they came to a state of needing rescuing is often a mystery, the Lanning family heard that “when he was finally picked up, his eye was so badly infected that it had to be removed. He was also covered in fleas and had a bad skin irritation.” The process of getting an animal ready for adoption can be a lengthy one. Paws and Claws has an impressive mission statement. The Paws & Claws Mission is to: • Promote and provide humane protection and shelter for abandoned or lost companion animals. • Seek adoptive homes for companion animals under our protective care. • Provide public education regarding the societal problem of animal overpopulation. • Promote the principles of responsible companion animal care. • Advocate the spaying and neutering of all companion animals.” To find out more about this organization, visit their website at www. pawsandclaws.org. “Stab will always be the original face of T.J.’s Liquor,” says Tim, “but it was time for a new mascot and I encourage folks to come in and say hi to him!” Studies are showing the powerful healing touch animals have in the lives of people. Hospitals, care centers, and other businesses are realizing the benefits of bringing an animal into their places of business. “Sometimes, if you’re having a bad day, it’s nice to stop somewhere and get a little therapy from a furry friend,” concludes Tim. “Come in and say ‘hi’ to him...we don’t care if you buy anything or not! We get people who stop in just to see him and we love that!” T.J.’s Liquor is located at 507 N. Park Drive, Spring Valley, Minn., and can also be reached at (507) 346-1979.

few minutes playing fetch with Oakley would surely take your mind off any troubles you may be having. Oakley’s favorite playmate is his “nephew” Petey. Petey is Bakke’s son Nate’s dog, and he is a black lab cross. Oakley is such an outgoing and friendly dog that, “if the door gets held open too long he loves to go visit High Court Pub because they have popcorn and people — his two favorite things,” says Bakke. “He loves going in the bank with me every day and visiting the girls,” states Bakke, because he knows he will get attention from them when he comes in. The bank serves free popcorn on Fridays and “he knows that too,” she says, and he looks forward to Fridays so he can visit the bank and clean up any popcorn that may have been spilled or

dropped on the floor. Oakley has his designated spot where he lays behind the counter at Granny’s Liquor and will come out and visit when customers come in but when there has been too much excitement and he has had enough he just gets up and heads down to the basement to his kennel for some quiet time. Oakley also likes to sit in the chair behind the counter while Bakke stands and visits with customers or friends because being at arms height “he knows he’s getting attention,” she states. Bakke describes Oakley as a real “Mama’s Boy” as he prefers to be by her side over anyone else. But he will accept love from just about anybody, and he gives as good as he gets.

of support are included, many from veterans groups. The proposed site is a 15 acre bluff top site located within the city limits that is easily accessible from Highways 16 and 52. Committed contributions also include $100,000 from the Preston Area Community Foundation and another $20,000 (cash or in-kind service) from individual donors. At this point Preston has expended $15,000 toward the project. Preston commits to providing the 15 acre site plus infrastructure improvements. Other business in brief • City Attorney Dwight Luhmann reviewed changes made to the purchase agreement for the former Dairy & Farm site. The total purchase price will be $115,000. The city will make its first payment (of 10) on September 1 to Preston Public Utilities toward the $100,000 Dairy & Farm loan assumed by the city. Dairy & Farm will be required to do environmental clean-up. The date of closing is to be June 29. Dairy & Farm must apply for reimbursement of clean-up costs associated with the removal of the fertilizer building. Any reimbursement is to be dispersed to the city. The council had already approved the terms of the purchase agreement. The revised purchase agreement had not yet been presented to Dairy & Farm. • Rock and bituminous bids for 2018 were approved. Bids were made by Bruening Rock Products, Inc., Milestone Materials, and Rochester Sand & Gravel. • The police department recently received approval to purchase a new Dodge pick-up which is on order to be delivered in the summer. Approval was given to sell the 2011 Impala squad, which the pick-up will replace, at auction.

Fountain to adopt MN code By Rick Wicks On April 4, a regular meeting of the Fountain City Council was held, with all members in attendance (Mayor Richard Kujath, Bryan Ostby, Jim Schott, David Gudmundson, Chad Wangen, and City Clerk Rhonda Flattum). The council discussed the idea of adopting the “Minnesota basic code” which would provide ordinances to cover the vast majority of issues a small city may face. Flattum pointed out that the city attorney highly recommends Fountain adopt this code, since it has been tested in the courts, and provides an excellent base for the city’s ordinances. There is also the option to adopt “Title 17” which allows the city to edit the basic ordinances for needs specific to Fountain. Flattum said the MN basic code would cost a one-time fee of $850. She also pointed out that the previously discussed idea of the council reviewing individual ordinances for updating would take far too long, because state laws would likely change in some areas before a complete review was done. After discussion, the council voted to purchase the MN basic code and Title 17 option. Mike and Emily Root addressed the council regarding their plans to bring in a small building on their property. Mike said it will measure
roughly 10’ by 16’ and will be on skids. The council voiced no concerns, and suggested he should go ahead and apply for a permit to proceed. Mike and Emily also asked if they could be allowed to raise a small number of chickens on their property. They said all of the chickens would be hens, and that all of the neighbors have indicated no objections. Jim Schott explained that the council has previously dealt with similar requests, and has an ordinance stipulating no farm animals within city limits. He added that in the past, the city ran into problems with a wide variety of animals, and that setting a precedent is a problem. Emily asked the council to please consider their request on an individual basis, and Mike added, “Just consider it, that’s all we ask.” Mayor Kujath replied, “The only thing is, we have an ordinance in place.” No further action was taken. Brian Krenz addressed the council on behalf of Historic Bluff Country, and encouraged Fountain to again have a membership with this tourism group. He said the group is able to advertise to a much broader geographic area than a small town alone could afford, and he said Fountain would benefit from additional tourism. Mayor Kujath said, “It’s something we’ll look into; we

want to see what the fee is going to be.” Krenz said the exact rates are still being determined, but he will provide them to Fountain as soon as they are available. John Hanson (City Maintenance) asked the council to consider buying a new type of LED street light pole and fixture. The council elected to buy one as a trial. He also discussed the squad car the city is trying to sell. He explained there are options to sell it by sealed bids, auction, or simply selling it outright. Hanson will check to see if any better offers are made, but if not, the council approved it to be sold to Wit Boyz dealership. The council approved two zoning requests, from Paul Hamann and Ron Junge, pending applicable permits are obtained. The council also considered a request for a liquor license for Beaver Bottoms Saloon (On-sale, Onsale Sunday, Off-sale, and Off-
sale Sunday). After discussion with the owners, the council voted to approve the request. A request for a street closure from 3-6 p.m. for a farmers market was discussed. Jim Schott shared his opinion that closing the street on a Friday afternoon would not be wise, especially since the bank would still be open. Council members suggested the farmers market perhaps could be in a vacant lot or the city park instead. The council discussed having a citywide cleanup day. There would be a dumping fee charged to the city, but the exact rates are not yet known. The date was tentatively set for the third Saturday in May. The council also approved Plunkett Pest Control to spray for insects in various areas of the city park, from April through October, at a cost of $350 for the year. Rhonda Flattum stated that City Attorney Luhmann has

Thompson appointed to Ostrander council By Rich Wicks During the Ostrander City Council meeting on April 3, Vernon Thompson was appointed to fill the vacancy on the council since Erin Volkart’s departure. The council heard from all three citizens interested in serving on the council. Jeremy Runkel explained to the council his interest in serving, stating, “I’ve got time, and I’m concerned about what happens in town.” Stephanie Start responded to a concern about having two council members from the same family, as she explained regarding her brother DJ, “Yes, he is my brother, but we don’t agree on everything.” Mayor Nesler added his opinion that, “I think in the last eight months, this council has suffered in the communication department.” He advocated that discussions should happen while the council is meeting rather than afterwards. After discussion, the council voted by secret ballot, and Thompson received the majority of the votes. He will start his service on the council at the May meeting. Heidi Jones encouraged Thompson and the other applicants to consider running for the council position when it is put to a public vote this fall. All members of the council were in attendance (Pam Kunert, Mayor Pat Nesler, City Clerk Wendy Brincks, Heidi Jones and DJ Start). Wendy Brincks updated the council on the water billing situation. She had been working to fix a number of glitches that had happened with billing, and presented a list of proposed “write offs” totaling $829.39. After discussion, the council approved the write offs as submitted. Brincks said all other accounts are being paid off. Deputy Leif Erickson gave a monthly report of police activity providing to Ostrander by the Fillmore County Sheriff’s department. He said, “In March, we had one vehicle off the road, two alarms, one warrant arrest, a child custody dispute, one ambulance call at the church, a welfare check, one information call, and two traffic contacts, one which resulted in a warrant and one resulted in a citation for speed.” Dustin Johnson gave an update on the

He said if they do this, they will keep the current “old” pumper as a backup. Andrew Forliti gave a summary of the annual financial audit performed by Smith Schafer & Associates. His presentation included that Ostrander received an unmodified “clean” report for 2017, with no Minnesota legal compliance exceptions. He pointed out that the small size of the city staff makes it impossible to segregate some accounting duties, and said for that reason, the council needs to always provide oversight on financial matters. The city’s General Fund balance increased to $21,881 in 2017. He also said the $12,682 in Trail Fund Cash Reserves could more effectively be used elsewhere, since it is generating very little interest and has no planned usage on the horizon; this issue will be added to the council’s May agenda. Forliti said Ostrander’s debt payments are being made timely, and the water

and sewer funds are generating sufficient cash flow to service debt and improve cash reserves. The council voted to pay an invoice from the engineering firm of Bolton & Menk, totaling $2,160. The invoice states that the Bidding & Negotiating phase of the infrastructure project is 100% complete. The council also voted to accept rural water financing (loan) of $510,000. There was discussion of Ostrander’s citywide clean-up. A tentative date of May 5 was set. Brincks will check with Waste Management for pricing, and citizens will be notified via an insert with water bills. The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m. The next regular meeting of the council will be Tuesday, May 1, at 6:30 p.m. The public is welcome.
Four southern Minnesota cities were approved for more than $12 million in grants and loans from the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA) for projects that will improve wastewater and drinking water facilities. The PFA awarded funding to Blue Earth, Kasson, Northrop and Welcome. “Communities across Minnesota face serious water-quality challenges,” said Governor Mark Dayton. “Last spring, I worked with the Minnesota Legislature to establish a grant program to help cities afford to make water-quality improvements. These grants and loans will help the residents in these four cities to afford the clean water they deserve.” “These projects are an investment in the future of these southern Minnesota communities,” said Shawntera Hardy, who chairs the PFA board and is commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. “Along with safer drinking water, the cities will have improved facilities that encourage new businesses and economic development.” The following is a breakdown of the PFA’s latest funding round: Blue Earth, $7.69 million The city, which is planning improvements to its wastewater treatment plant, was awarded a $7.69 million low-interest loan from the PFA’s Clean Water Revolving Fund. The 20-year, 1.275% loan will save the city $1.28 million compared with what it would have paid for a conventional loan of the same amount.

ment plant to reduce phosphorus discharge and to connect neighboring Mantorville to its system. Project funding includes a $489,494 grant from the Point Source Implementation Program and a $2.88 million loan from the Clean Water Revolving Fund. The 20-year, 1.095% loan will save the city $474,964 compared with what it would have paid for a conventional loan of the same amount. In addition, Mantorville will pay Kasson an $819,000 access fee, which will be applied to the project cost. Northrop, $342,204 The city was awarded a loan of $342,204 from the Drinking Water Revolving Fund to rehabilitate the municipal water tower. The 20-year, 1% loan will save the city $66,837 compared with what it would have paid for a conventional loan of the same amount. Welcome, $789,200 Welcome will build a new water tower and install two natural gas generators. The PFA approved the city for a $789,200 loan from the Drinking Water Revolving Fund. The 20-year, 1% loan will save the city $137,696 compared with a conventional loan. In addition, the city is providing $170,000 for the project. The Minnesota Public Facilities Authority provides financing and technical assistance to help communities build and maintain infrastructure that protects public health and the environment and promotes economic growth. Since inception in 1987, the PFA has financed $4.5 billion in public infrastructure projects in communities throughout Minnesota. Read more at mn.gov/deed/pfa/.

The absence of love
By Annalise Shupe I have recently realized that a person cannot obtain coldness, they simply have the absence of heat. Very similar to light; a room doesn’t have darkness, it has the absence of light. This made me think of love and hate... Annalise Shupe maybe hate doesn’t exist, but it’s merely the absence of love in our lives. It is no secret that it seems easier to blame life’s problems on outside forces, including other people. Most people would agree that when a person feels above others it makes themselves feel better as well. Well, this simply is not true. In fact, this very mindset makes life much more difficult. So what’s the fix? I undoubtedly believe the fix is love and happiness. Everyone attempts to attain happiness within their lifetime. Being happy means to feel or show pleasure and contentment. I want to focus specifically on contentment. Hatred is generally derived from discontentment. Furthermore, discontentment is gleaned from the absence of love. Think
about it, if someone is not content with an aspect of their life it is most likely because they have not found something to love about that aspect of their life. The best way to excel in life is to love. The easiest way for a person to love their life and what surrounds it is by first loving themselves. Self-love is a key component to a happy, healthy life. Self-love is also one of the most challenging things to acquire in a lifetime. For me, my self-love comes from loving others. The more I find positive and beautiful characteristics in those around me, the easier it becomes to find positive and beautiful characteristics within myself. What things can you think of that you find beautiful? Look around you, analyze your surroundings. What do you see? What do you love? What do you hate? Now take everything you hate and find a positive in it, if this challenges you find something you can do to change what you hate. Ask yourself, is the situation or object fixable? Either way, put forth some effort to change your mindset or fix the problem. This process may seem extremely difficult, and it may be at first, but the more a person practices this new outlook on life the easier
Page 15
it will become. As the weeks go by positive thinking and problem solving will become a natural part of a routine. A new, more relaxed and loving individual will begin to emerge from the shell that use to confine them; similar to a phoenix. The negative parts burn away during this process, letting a new, better human emerge from the flames. Seldom do better days and healthy habits magically appear in someone’s life. A person must work towards bettering themselves and their surroundings. When effort is put forth in various aspects of life, rewards will follow and a better person will most likely transpire. I think society as a whole wishes to better themselves and doesn’t want to surround themselves with the negativity that is sewn into our daily lives. A loving mindset is a way to fight back. I encourage everyone to embrace the positivity and love that surrounds them and let it settle in their soul. I also encourage everyone to let love radiate. Find simple things in life to love and cherish. At the end of the day, the mundane things are what give us contentment. Don’t let the absence of love be the cause of your discontentment. Annalise Shupe is a student at Fillmore Central High School. She is one of seven area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its 19th year.

Commonweal Theatre Company opens 30th season The Commonweal Theatre Company is pleased to announce the opening of its 30th season of producing professional, live theatre in historic Lanesboro, Minn. In honor of this momentous occasion, Autumn Johnson, mayor of Lanesboro has officially designated April 7, 2018, as Commonweal Theatre Day across the community. The designation marks, among others, the Commonweal’s dedication to the “betterment of the City of Lanesboro through cultural excellence” and for the organization’s focus on the “creation of an intellectual and emotional environment in the city.” In responding to this special honor, Com-
monweal Executive Director Hal Cropp stated, “On behalf of the entire company, we are deeply touched by the recognition of the Lanesboro City Council in its proclamation highlighting the company’s key role in creating and maintaining a unique community in our picturesque home base of Lanesboro.” Fresh off of receiving an award for excellence from the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits in 2017, the Commonweal kicks off a season of celebration full of compelling dramas and wildly funny comedies. “In celebrating our 30th season,” says Cropp, “we are thrilled to offer both a balanced season of plays and,
that remain vital to this day, more than a century later. Told with warm-hearted wit and adding a bit of romance, Silent Sky is an important story of courage and overcoming obstacles. Longtime Commonweal professional resident ensemble member and associate artistic director Adrienne Sweeney leads the production as director and features ensemble member Megan K. Pence in the role of Henrietta Leavitt. Along with Pence, the cast includes ensemble members Stela Burdt, Abbie Cathcart, Elizabeth Dunn, and Eric Lee in the role of Peter Shaw, Ms. Leavitt’s fellow astronomer and love interest. Stage Manager Philip Muehe and Assistant Stage Manager Amanda Pyfferoen lead the production team consisting of designers Kit Mayer (set), Janis Martin (costumes), Matt Vichlach (sound) and Brandt Roberts (props). Beginning on Friday, April 6 and continuing through the weekend, in collaboration with • Chatfield: April 24, 2018, 2-7 Lanesboro Arts, there are sevp.m., United Methodist Church, eral special events planned for the grand opening of the the124 Winona St. E. • Preston: April 14, 2018, 12-6 p.m., St. Columban Parish, 408 NW Preston St. • Rushford: April 19, 2018, 1-7 p.m., St. Joseph’s Church, 105 N.

in keeping with both our affinity for the works of Henrik Ibsen and an enduring celebration of what women have to offer, plays which have either been crafted by, directed by, or focus on the role of strong women in our society.” The organization is thrilled to announce the opening of the season’s first production, Silent Sky on April 7. The production is the featured event in a series of special festivities planned for the anniversary weekend. Written by Lauren Gunderson, currently America’s most produced playwright, Silent Sky tells the story of Henrietta Leavitt and her team of female “computers” at the Harvard Observatory in the early 20th century. Without being able to make use of the Harvard lab telescopes, Ms. Leavitt made groundbreaking discoveries about the nature of the universe
Give blood with the Red Cross during National Volunteer Month The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood during National Volunteer Month this April. Donating blood is a simple way for those who are short on time to make a life-changing difference. Kay Whaley knows the impact of blood donations. When she was nine, she was in an accident and received many transfusions. That experience inspired her to become a blood donor. “It takes about an hour of your time and could save the life of a friend, neighbor or even family member,” she said. “It doesn’t cost you anything and is the greatest gift you could give.” Volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those in need of transfusions. Donors of
all blood types are needed to help meet patient needs this spring. Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1 (800) RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). All those who come to donate from April 9 to May 13, 2018, will be entered to win one of three $1,000 gift cards to a national home improvement retailer, courtesy of Suburban Propane. (Restrictions apply. More details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/Lets-Do-More.) Upcoming blood donation opportunities • Chatfield: April 18, 2018, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., Chatfield High School, 205 Union St.

State Fair and Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation accepting Century Farm applications ST. PAUL, MN — Minnesota families who have owned their farms for 100 years or more may apply for the 2018 Century Farm Program. Produced by the Minnesota State Fair in conjunction with the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation, the Century Farm Program was created to promote agriculture and honor historic family farms in the state.

Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation seeking applications for Early Childhood Literacy Grants OWATONNA, MN, February 19, 2018 - Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF), in partnership with ABDO Publishing and Capstone, is accepting applications for the Early Childhood Literacy Grant Program. The Literacy Program is designed to support early literacy efforts that enhance school readiness for children birth to age five by providing children with books. Organizations working with these children in SMIF’s 20-county region are encouraged to apply for books to be given to families to keep and read to their children. SMIF has previously partnered with both publishing companies on collectively distributing more than 100,000 books across the region through grants and programming. The Literacy Program is a new collaborative effort to put more books into the hands
of children birth to five. We know literacy skill development is a key measure of future success in school and life. “A lack of literacy skills in young children is a major barrier to getting ready for kindergarten,” said Rae Jean Hansen, vice president of Early Childhood at SMIF. “Our long-term partnerships with both ABDO and Capstone are critical to our efforts to provide parents and children in the region with support they need to prepare for school.” “At Capstone, we are passionate about improving the world through literacy,” said Christie Skilbred, Corporate Giving and Literacy Center Manager for Coughlan Companies, the holding company for Capstone. “Our continued partnership with Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation parallels our mission of providing children the build-
ing blocks for lifelong success. We are thrilled to stand together with SMIF to assist in providing the new Literacy Grants and look forward to the positive impact these grants offer southern Minnesota.” Award recipients will choose from a selection of more than 10,000 books donated by the publishing companies, including bilingual and early childhood appropriate books. Applications are due to SMIF by April 12, 2018. Awards will be announced in May, with a book pick-up celebration in June.

RATE INCREASE NOTICE
Notice of Public Hearings for Minnesota Energy Resources customers served by the Northern Natural Gas (NNG) PGA
Minnesota Energy Resources asked the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) for permission to increase its natural gas rates by approximately 5.05 percent or about $12.6 million per year overall. Depending upon customer class and use, the actual percentage of any increase will vary. The requested increase would add about $3 to a typical residential customer’s monthly bill.
The MPUC has lowered the interim rate increase. The interim rate increase was changed from approximately 3.78 percent or $9,465,720 to 2.81 percent or $7,033,485. If final rates are lower than interim rates, we will refund customers the difference with interest. If final rates are higher than interim rates, we will not charge customers the difference. If you move before a refund is issued and we cannot find you, your refund may be treated as abandoned property and sent to the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Unclaimed Property Unit. You can check for unclaimed property at www.missingmoney.com. To make sure we can send you any refund owed, please provide a forwarding address when you stop service. Public hearings
Administrative Law Judge Eric L. Lipman is holding four public hearings. Any Minnesota Energy Resources customer or other person may attend or provide comments at the hearings. You are invited to comment on the adequacy and quality of Minnesota Energy Resources’ service, the level of rates, or other related matters. You do not need to be represented by an attorney. Date

Commonweal Theatre announces 2018 Fillmore and Houston County Free Nights The Commonweal Theatre Company announces performance dates for its 2018 County Free Night Program. Theatre lovers living and/or working in Fillmore or Houston Counties are invited to attend — free of charge — Lauren Gunderson’s Silent Sky, a “luminously beautiful” play that will change the way you view the heaven and earth, on April 12; a charming musical tale about friendship and valuable lessons in fair play in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on May 10; the side-splitting comedy about a cleaning lady who’d rather perfect her stand-up routine in The Clean House on July 5; a new take on the classic seductive fiend in Dracula: Prince of Blood on September 6; and a holiday favorite as you’ve never seen—or heard—before in It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio
Play on November 29. As a non-profit, the Commonweal relies on generous donations from audiences and corporations to sustain its programming; in turn, the theatre extends that generosity to the community five nights a year with the offer of free tickets. The intention is to remove any cost barrier for Commonweal’s closest neighbors to attend their local professional, live theatre. Currently celebrating its 30th season producing professional, live theatre, the Commonweal will again encourage patrons to “pay it forward” with the beneficiary being the theatre company itself through a suggested monetary donation for each free performance. The opportunity to donate will be available for the entire run of each production in honor of the 30th season, but primar-

ily focuses on those patrons attending the complimentary performances. Although the company will not be taking donations for community charities as in past years, the popular Art for Kids donation effort will return for the holiday season. During the production run of It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, patrons are encouraged to donate new art supplies for patients at the Mayo Clinic Eugenio Litta Children’s Hospital. All donation items will then be delivered to patients in time for Christmas morning. All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and while admission is free of charge to residents and employees of Fillmore and Houston Counties, seating is limited and reservations are strongly recommended to be made at least two weeks in
advance. There is a limit of four tickets per household. County Free Nights at the Commonweal Theatre are made possible with support from Merchants Bank of Lanesboro, Thrivent Financial in Lanesboro and Winona, AcenTek, POET Biorefining, Rushford Community Foundation and Nethercut Schieber Attorneys PLLP. Funding for the Commonweal Theatre’s programming is

provided in part by a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, through an appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature, a grant from the McKnight Foundation and other private funders. For more information about the 2018 season, visit www.CommonwealTheatre.org. To check availability and to reserve tickets, contact the box office at (800) 657-7025.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: I do a lot of local driving for work, and every day I see an abundance of vehicles that roll through stops. This happens most frequently in a “right on red” situation. I have Troy H. seen many Christianson near misses by vehicles rolling through a “right on red.” I was just wondering what
Monday, April 9, 2018
our State law requires of us to do at stop signs/red lights. Answer: According to the Minnesota Driver’s Manual, when approaching a red light (solid or flashing) or a stop sign, motorists must come to a complete stop prior to reaching the nearest marked white line. Minnesota law allows motorists to make a right turn on a red light after making a complete stop, unless there’s a sign indicating the turn is prohibited. Drivers must use caution and follow rightof-way rules. Motorcyclists and bicyclists can proceed with caution through a red light after making a complete stop, if:
Sunday, April 22 • 3:00pm
Lanesboro Community Center Tickets are $15 and are available at the door!
• The signal continued to show red for an “unreasonable time.” • The signal apparently malfunctioned or failed to detect the bicycle or motorcycle. • No vehicle or pedestrian was approaching or close enough so as to make going through the red signal dangerous. Failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign or a red light can result in a fine of $300 or more. You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, Minn. 55901-5848. Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@state.mn.us.
