Sewer lines, garbage, and summer recreation By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The Chatfield City Council, at their April 24 meeting, approved the televising of 6,743 feet of sanitary sewer line. Most of the city’s sanitary sewer system was televised in 2012. Brian Burkholder explained that in 2012 about 2,500 feet of sewer line under Highway 52 was found to be in poor condition. It is expected that
the highway will be overlayed in 2019. It is prudent to repair those lines before then. In a report from Chris Daniels, it was requested to authorize the televising of 6,743 feet of sewer line including that under Highway 52 and 4,243 feet of PVC pipe installed in 1991 that was not televised in 2012.

With a name as unique as The Black Crow Gallery, just imagine what interesting and unexpected items can be found inside. Val and Gordon Tindall have transformed the space that held a grocery store in Lanesboro, Minn., for many years. Gordon will also be opening his business, Man Art, right next door to The Black Crow Gallery in an area which was also part of the grocery store. Val was born in Clinton, Iowa, and grew up in Decorah, Iowa, living there most of her life. Eight years ago when she and Gordon were looking for a spot for their Spud Boy Diner, which is a re-built 1920s dining car, they found the lot they wanted for it in Lanesboro so,

“We decided to move here,” says Val. In the last few years they have purchased the space for their new businesses and, “When we purchased the building we were not sure what we were going to use it for,” explains Val. “I am a basket maker,” states Val and that is by far not her only talent, as she also makes incredible mixed media pieces and more. After thinking about it for awhile, Val, states, “I just decided why not give this a try,” as she thought, “I will have a place to display my own work and then also I can bring in other artists who can show and sell their work here,” as well. She opened the doors of The Black Crow Gallery in June 2016 to share not only her artistic talents, but also the talents of many

others who share her passion for artwork. The name of the business, The Black Crow Gallery, comes from Val’s love of birds and the iconic silhouette of the crow in particular. “Crows are fascinating to me,” states Val, stating one particular day she heard “an unusual bird song” and did not know what type of bird was making the song. “It turned out to be crows communicating,” says Val, and she was amazed at their beautiful sound and adds that they are “super smart” birds, as well. “It’s nice to be able to offer space for other people” to showcase their work, Val says. The Black Crow Gallery features work by mostly regional artists from Minnesota, several of them

Explaining her newest mixed media pieces, she says, “I was wanting to incorporate materials I use in making baskets into something that was two dimensional and framable, so I used birch bark,� and also used what she calls her “new favorite

One of these lamps placed in your living room is sure to be a conversation piece when friends or family visit. Spoons made of wood by Jeff Ward certainly catch your eye as you walk into The Black Crow Gallery, as do his intricate boats. Well-known local artist Heidi Dybing has brought in her handmade pillows and quilts and will also have her beautiful mosaics available in the gallery.

to truly appreciate them, as his pieces are true works of art. Greeting cards by Lucinda Winters “have been really popular,� states Val, as she explains “Lucinda Winters and her husband Bruce Nash have moved to Lanesboro and she is the daughter of Jonathan Winters,� and the cards in the Winters’ Wonderland Card Co. collection feature the artwork of her father. “A lot of people don’t know that he was an artist and he did all this incredible work,� states Val, adding ,“after he passed away his daughter wanted to honor his love of art, so she created a line of greeting cards,� many of which can be found at The Black Crow Gallery. For those of us who love jewelry, look no further than The Black Crow Gallery, as Delia Bell, Vicki Green and Artria are just a few of the artists who have brought in jewelry pieces including earrings, necklaces and more. Diane Knight has quite a following for her artistic boxes, as a customer from Rochester, Minn., recently drove down to Lanesboro to purchase one of Diane’s boxes to give as a wedding gift.

These are just a few of the many talented artists that have brought their items into The Black Crow Gallery for all of us to admire, appreciate and purchase.

C ommentary A president struggling to get on track By Lee Hamilton I have significant differences with Donald Trump’s political stances, but I want him to enjoy a successful presidency. It’s good for neither the country nor the world when a U.S. president struggles or Lee H. fails. Hamilton Yet I also believe that constructive criticism can help a president grow more capable. It’s in this spirit that I want to take a hard look at the Trump presidency so far. President Trump’s personal and stylistic approaches may have served him in business and on the campaign trail, but are problematic in office. He has an unfortunate tendency to dodge blame for things that go wrong. He makes charges with no evidence to support them and refuses to admit he was wrong. He routinely over-inflates his achievements, as when he recently declared that “no administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days,” an assertion that no one familiar with FDR’s and other notable presidents’ first months in office would accept. Crucially, he does not appear to know how to use or coordinate the levers of American power — economic, diplomatic and political. He appreciates military power, but lacks a coherent, comprehensive strategy and the clarity, consistency, and discipline required to apply one. President Trump has also shown little evidence of the political skills necessary for success. He has been unable to build coalitions in Washington or rally public support around difficult-to-achieve policy goals. Editorial Cartoon
He shows little instinct for finding natural allies to help push legislation through. He shows no interest in inspiring and uniting Americans. And he has hurt himself with his bluster, tenuous relationship with the truth and flouting of the rules of ethics, transparency and conflicts of interest. Throughout the campaign and his first weeks in office, he painted issues in easy-to-solve, black-and-white terms. Until, that is, he began to confront them as President. Recently, he has admitted that issue after issue is more complicated than he’d expected, which suggests that he had not considered them carefully before. The President has made some solid choices, putting in place a measured, professional national security team in Defense Secretary James Mattis and National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster. But his policy rhetoric bears little relation to the reality of his accomplishments. We do not have universal, comprehensive health care at lower cost. Tax reform, immigration, cyber reform — it’s hard to find any meaningful progress on any of them. Chances appear iffy for infrastructure investment in our states and communities that is not a boondoggle. Foreign policy seems to be guided by a team of generals who are competent in their areas of expertise, but unlikely to come up with the comprehensive economic, diplomatic and political policies needed to resolve conflicts and build stable relations abroad. Given the President’s erratic, impulsive leadership and dizzying string of policy changes, where will we find stability over the next few years? One source of hope is the President himself.
His policy switches on China and Syria may have been abrupt, but they moved us in the right direction. He seems to be capable of learning — and reversing himself — on a broad range of policies. He appears willing to accept the sober, mainstream advice of his national security team. Ordinarily, I’d include Congress in any list of institutions capable of stabilizing a presidency that could go off the rails, but it seems unable to help the President improve his policies. Instead, other forces have stepped into that role. The courts — especially on immigration — have kept him within the bounds of the Constitution. State and local governments are stepping up to lead on a variety of issues, including climate change. The media have been crucial in highlighting problems within the administration and the implications of its policies. And ordinary citizens have grown vocal in their opinions and active in trying to safeguard and improve their own corners of the world. These are hopeful developments. But the Trump administration is still struggling to get on track, consumed with internal problems, at a time when we desperately need to move ahead on the serious problems we confront at home and abroad. My hope is that he can find his way to asserting the leadership the country and the world order need. Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar, IU School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice, IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.
MiEnergy Cooperative announces Youth Tour winners CRESCO, IA | RUSHFORD, MN, April 12, 2017— Barbara Schwickerath, a junior at New Hampton High School, and Noah Carlson, a junior at Houston High School, each won an educational-filled week of adventure in Washington D.C. as MiEnergy Cooperative’s Youth Tour Contest winners. Both will be among a group of 1,600 students sponsored by electric cooperatives from across the country to take part in the Rural Electric Youth Tour June 9-15. This year marks the 53rd anniversary of electric cooperatives sending high school students to Washington. The Youth Tour was inspired in 1957 by Lyndon Johnson, then a U.S. senator from Texas, when he called on electric cooperatives to send young people to Washington, “to see what the flag stands for and represents.” The students will meet with state and federal legislators to get an up-close look at how our government works, along with experiencing the monuments, museums and history of our nation’s capital. Iowa contestants MiEnergy’s Iowa Youth Tour winner, Schwickerath, is the daughter of Neal and Leah Schwickerath, of New Hampton, Iowa. Allison Martinek, of Cresco, was selected as an alternate.

inviting businesses to become a part of this new publication. When working on a project like this, you really find out how much confidence and pride businesses have with respect to supporting their community. As the map was presented to business owners throughout Chatfield, there was resounding support. And, these are the types of projects that will either be successful or fail depending on that support. Without the support of these local businesses, there would be no tourism publication for the City of Chatfield. Today, there are over 10,000 Chatfield maps made available throughout the business community of Chatfield, along with maps available at the Chatfield Tourism Center and other strategically selected locations in Rochester and surrounding communities. The businesses in Chatfield recognize the importance of promoting their community to locals and tourists. When we publish special pages for each town in each community in the Fillmore County Journal, we see the same thing. The businesses who show their support for their community help promote their community to locals and tourists alike. That collaborative marketing equals community branding. When businesses -- even competing businesses -- band together to promote their community, that demonstrates that there’s a thriving business district in that community! That collaboration establishes an impression. Thank you to the Chatfield business community for making this new publication possible. And, thanks to Chris Giesen and Rocky Burnett for entrusting our team with the responsibility to get this project off the ground. Also, thanks to Graphic Designer Taylor Case and Assistant Editor Ellen Whalen for putting their creative and editing skills to the test. Thanks to Fillmore County Recorder Dave Kiehne and his staff for assisting with a portion of the mapping process, as well. And, one more special thanks to Chatfield Police Chief Shane Fox for assisting us with the final mapping process of each business located in the community. It really takes a community to make anything happen, doesn’t it?
We could all stand to listen more By Eric Lee Harmony, MN On April 3, House Minority Leader Melissa Hortman called to break up the “100% white male card game” occurring in the retiring room. Many readers of the FillEric Lee more County Journal are represented by Rep. Greg Davids, who following her remarks, called on Rep. Hortman, not only to apologize, but to resign her position. Frankly, I was disappointed by his admonition, particularly within the context of these remarks. It is the context of the remarks that I wish to discuss, and continue to shine light upon. The topic of debate was the controversial provisions for increasing penalties for public protest in a public safety finance bill. We live in a nation that was born of civil disobedience, born of revolution. We celebrate a group of patriots who damaged property, throwing tea into the Boston Harbor as heroes. But what of those who currently engage in protest for their freedoms? For their very safety? Specifically, I speak of those who would block a highway for Black Lives Matter. For Philando Castile. For Freddie Gray. As these are clearly the targets of bills such as these which are being introduced around the country. The intent is not to provide for public safety. There are few within most protests who would seriously seek to block passage of public vehicles. The intent is to discourage speech. In a nation which claims to take seriously a commitment to the freedom of speech, with our very First Amendment, as laid out in the Bill of Rights. You might say, “Well, there are proper ways to make one’s voice heard.” That may be. But when you speak and are not heard, then eventually you will move outside of what is deemed “acceptable.” As the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, “It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city’s white power structure
left the Negro community with no alternative.” Over 50 years later, we still must push for Black voices to be heard. It is important, not only what was being discussed, but also who was speaking, as Minority Leader Hortman called the House back to the chamber. Somali-American Representative Ilhan Omar and African-American Representative Rena Moran. Women, and not only that, but women of color, were speaking to attempts to silence the voices of Black lives who were pleading for nothing less than their own right to exist safely in public spaces, as Americans. I will not presently argue whether or not privilege exists. I am aware of its benefits, and I do my best to be aware of how I can share those privileges that have been given me by nature of the society in which I live. White Americans, and especially white American men, like myself, owe it to everyone else to do others the basic courtesy of listening. This government has been, by and large, a very exclusive club, and new voices and faces, are finding themselves finally represented in our government. We owe it to this country to cede just a little space in the public discourse, that other voices might be heard. I’ll not repeat the speeches those women delivered, but I would implore you to seek them out. I would ask that you find the stories of those who differ from you. Listen to them. Believe them when they tell you of their American experience. I cannot recommend Ava Duvernay’s 13th, enough, or Ta-Nahisi Coates’ Between the World and Me. And everyone should read the entirety of Dr. King’s Letter From a Birmingham Jail. These are essential works of an America that I am still learning about. And if you really wish to prevent these protests, Representative Davids, there’s a better way to do it. As Philando Castile’s friend, John Thompson, testified in the committee hearings on the bill, “You know what they were doing? They were asking for all you guys to come out and say what is it we can do to help you. Not one of you came out!” We all just want to know that we are seen. That we are heard. Just listen.

Mabel-Canton students partner with Luther College for special project By Hannah Wingert “I liked that we got to meet with people who are going to be teachers someday.� “I liked that we got to talk in real time.� “It was pretty cool!� Students of Ruth Ann Sacquitne’s fifth grade English class at Mabel-Canton Public School had only good things to say about their recent project they completed in partnership with a junior class from Luther College. Sacquitne, a member of the Luther College Advisory Council which meets twice a year, first heard about the idea from Barbara Bohach, a professor at the college. Bohach explained to Sacquitne how she had carried out the project at another school district. Sacquitne thought it sounded like a great idea and, after
checking with the Mabel-Canton administration and sending home letters notifying parents of the plan, she moved forward with the project for her class. It just so happened that both Sacquitne’s fifth grade class and Professor Bohach’s college class had the same number of students, 11, which made it easy to pair them up. Each of Bohach’s students was matched with one of the fifth graders to be their one-on-one teacher. “It was like having an extra set of hands in the classroom,� Sacquitne remarked. The assignment for the fifth graders was to read The Invention of Hugo Cabret and watch the movie made from the book. Then they had to compare and contrast the two using a Venn diagram and a two paragraph essay. Using the website Appear.

in, the kids were introduced to their partners from Professor Bohach’s class. The first meeting was done as a group, with both classes gathered around a single computer on their end so they could all see camera. The college students stepped forward one by one to introduce themselves and then ask their fifth grade partner to introduce themselves as well. The fifth grade class use Google Docs to write their assignment and share it with their partner and then “met� again via teleconference for oneon-one sessions with the college students. “They had the ability to see and hear each other through the website,� Sacquitne said. The college students helped their fifth grade partners fine tune their grammar and punctuation and gave them pointers for writing. Sacquitne had acquired six Chromebooks for her classroom with a grant which came in handy for the project. She gathered up some iPads for her class to use as well. All of the Luther students were studying to be teachers so the project allowed them to experience teaching on an authentic, practical level. The feedback received from them was positive, and they really enjoyed being able to interact with the MabelCanton students and see how a classroom works. Each of the students from both the Mabel-Canton and Luther College classes wrote an autobiography and shared it with their partner from the other school so they could get to know each other better. “I would definitely do it again if I had the opportunity,� Sacquitne said, a statement with which her class agreed.

Local woman raises EDS awareness
Hannah Wingert and her children Anna Kate, 9, Levi, 3, Nathaniel, 6, and Arianna, 4. Photo by Barb Jeffers By Barb Jeffers You may not see it by looking at her, but Hannah Wingert lives with pain every day of her life due to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. If you have never heard of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome you are in the majority, which is why Wingert wants to spread the word hoping to help as many people as she can. Wingert, who is a member of the Fillmore County Journal family as a reporter states, “May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Awareness month and it is especially a big deal this year, as the International EDS Symposium published the new classifications for EDS in the American Journal of Medicinal Genetics in March” of 2017. “Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that affects your collagen,” says Wingert. “Your collagen is basically the glue that holds your body together, so when that is faulty nothing in your body works right,” she explains.
“You’re basically falling apart from the inside,” she states. This faulty collagen affects several body parts, some of which include skin, muscles and ligaments, and normally causes hypermobility. “Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a collection of genetic disorders that affect connective tissue. Because it is a genetic syndrome, it is present at birth, rather than being developed later in life. Symptoms may present at any age,” according to Wingert. “A parent with EDS has a 50% chance of passing the syndrome on to each of their children,” says Wingert. Wingert and her husband, Steve, have four children. “So far I am at three out of four and the fourth one might have it,” states Wingert. Neither Wingert’s husband, parents or her four siblings have EDS. There are many types of EDS as Wingert explains, “The American Medical Journal of Genetics released the new clas-
sifications and criteria for EDS on March 15, 2017. Previously, there were thought to be six types of EDS, but the classification has been extended to 13 types. Each affects different areas of the body,” but share some similar symptoms between them. Hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (HEDS), the type that Wingert and three of her children have been diagnosed with, is the most common type and “the only one that does not have a genetic blood test available for diagnosis yet. Because of that, it is clinically diagnosed, usually by a geneticist,” states Wingert. There is no cure for EDS, but Wingert says, “Diagnosis is still important, as treatment and preventative care can be used to help slow the progression of the disorder” and things such as staying as active as possible and doing the right kind of exercises can help, but too much or the wrong kind of exercising can have the opposite effect. Wingert was finally diagnosed on March 31, 2016 when she was 30 years old. “It was a huge moment,” she says, after years of feeling like something was just “not right” and getting no answers, she was so relieved to have a definite answer — a diagnosis — even if it was not a good one. “My whole life I had these weird symptoms,” says Wingert, and was often told the symptoms were in her head. “It’s like you have the flu every single day of your life with constant pain and fatigue and overall just not feeling good,” explains Wingert. “The problem with EDS is that the symptoms are different in everybody, so it can be really hard to pin that down if you don’t know exactly what to look

for,” says Wingert, and there is so much more that needs to be learned about EDS by the medical community. “Very few doctors know about it,” states Wingert as she says, “I have had doctors ask how to spell it and have to Google it while I was in the room — that is how little is known about this disease” and the number of people suffering with it. “There is not enough research done on the disease because it is still listed as a ‘rare’ disease, even though it’s not rare — it’s just rarely diagnosed,” states Wingert. “One of the first things they look at for EDS is hypermobility,” states Wingert, and pain in the legs which is most often misdiagnosed as “growing pains” by many doctors. Some of the conditions associated with EDS include Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), IBD, Dysautonomia,
By Rich Wicks The Spring Valley City Council opened their regular meeting. All members were present (Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Mayor Jim Struzyk, Jessy Betts, Mike Hadland, and City Administrator Deb Zimmer). A citizen addressed the council regarding her family’s pet rabbits, asking that they be allowed to keep them, stating, “They’re pets, they’re family members,” and she explained that they do not raise their rabbits for meat or any other use. She stressed that the family is diligent about keeping the rabbits and their droppings cleaned up. She also said although she currently has 12 rabbits, she will get it down to eight, and would not go above 10, adding, “This is our way of

scoliosis, Raynaud’s Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, MCAS, depression, arthritis, Chiari Malformation, TMJ, and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) and asthma. According to Wingert, there are many ways that those suffering with EDS are affected, saying, “The list is long, but the most common ways are joint hypermobility and pain, easy bruising and scarring, joint dislocations and subluxations, digestive issues, hypotonia, muscle spasms, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, sleep issues, clumsiness, flat feet, heart issues, migraines, and much more,” and many of those with EDS rely on mobility devices such as wheelchairs, walkers and canes. Wingert just recently acquired a cane for assistance when needed. Wingert says her EDS has been “progressing very quickly” the last couple years and “there is never a moment without pain”

pursuing happiness.” Zimmer pointed out that currently, the city’s ordinance does not allow rabbits, since they would be included in the “other animals” that are not allowed. After discussion, the council chose to table the issue for now, and to look into possibly changing the wording of the ordinance if the city wants to allow certain additional types of animals. The council also discussed the issue of the “hay ground fields” that the city owns and has an agreement with farmers to cut hay on. Two of the fields are seven acres each, and a third field is accessible only by the bike trail. It was pointed out that although the fields have been well taken care of by the farmers, citizens have asked why others don’t get a chance to bid on the use of the fields. Todd Jones shared his opinion that, “It’s not about money, it’s about fairness,” and made a motion to open the two seven-acre fields up for bids, and to eliminate the haying on the third field. After discussion, the council voted to move forward with this plan. Wording will be added to stipulate no trail usage by any farming equipment, to avoid damaging the trail surface. The council considered a request by the Fillmore County Journal to have a newspaper rack installed downtown, from which citizens could help themselves to a free copy of the paper. Council members were concerned that on weekend nights, the papers would get scattered and create a mess. Jessy Betts said, “The idea is all right but I think it needs to be a better spot.” It was pointed out that the Journal is already available at Kwik Trip, inside the store. The council voted to See RABBIT & HAY Page 10

Obituaries Alice I. Macha Alice I. Macha, age 82, of Decorah, Iowa, died Friday evening, April 7, 2017 at her home in Decorah. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 15, 2017 at First L u t h e r a n Alice I. Macha Church in Decorah, with Rev. Chad Huebner officiating. Burial was in Hesper Public Cemetery in Hesper Township, rural Decorah. Visitation was from 4-7 p.m. Friday, April 14 at Fjelstul Funeral Home in Decorah, and on Saturday beginning at 10 a.m., one hour before the service, at First Lutheran Church. Fjelstul Funeral Home in Decorah served the family. On April 19, 1934 at the concord of a rural Winneshiek county farm arose a happy chorus that accompanied the birth of Alice, the youngest child of Alfred and Remelia (Ramsey) Quam. From an early age, Alice was petite and quick of foot and her family took to fondly calling her “Toots” or “Tootsie.” That affectionate nickname not only stayed with her for the years that followed, but was the first of many steps that she would take down her adventurous path forged of enchanting music, spirited dancing, and the peace

of mind that is only ever afforded to those in the company of true friends. Growing up and attending school in Decorah, Alice held several part-time jobs. One such job found her managing the lunch counter of the old Sugar Bowl, charming the customers as a “soda jerk.” Another was working as a clerk for the F.W. Woolworth Variety Store. After graduation in 1952 from Decorah High School she was hired as a bookkeeper and clerical assistant at the L. C. Bolson Co. Her favorite hobbies were dancing and rollerskating, both which allowed for company of friends and to be surrounded by music, which she loved. On August 9, 1953, Alice was united in marriage to Edwin A. (Eddie) Macha. Their individual notes joined in harmony, each finding something so special in the other that, just three days after their meeting at Matters Ballroom, Eddie proposed; after only a week of consideration Alice accepted. Alice and Eddie remained on the farm for two years before moving to Ames, Iowa, where they would spend the next four years as Eddie earned his B.S. Degree in Aerospace Engineering. Upon graduation in 1959, Alice and Eddie moved to Burbank, Calif., where they spent the next 30 years. Alice is survived by her husband, Eddie of Decorah; two sons: Joseph of Jamestown, N.Y. and John of Clayton, Ohio; a daughter, Angela of La Crosse, Wis.; sisters-in-law Irene Kofoed,

Hokah, Minn., at 94 cents per foot was approved as recommended by the Public Works committee. Garbage Bill Hanson, WM Hanson Waste Removal and Recycling, requested his agreement with the city be amended to allow waste from the Fillmore County side of the city to be delivered to an alternative site. The request was due to changes that have been made at the Fillmore County Resource and Recovery Center. The amendment requested would allow him to haul to Fillmore County or to the transfer station at Stewartville. All Olmsted County waste is required to go to Olmsted County. City Clerk Joel Young said they will work with City Attorney Fred Suhler to make changes to the ordinance. Hanson also requested that the per bag cost of the yellow garbage bag be raised from $1.75 to $1.95. The last increase was made in 2004. There was considerable discussion about the use of bags vs. containers. Councilor Paul Novotny noted that the last time the possible use of containers was considered, it appeared the cost with the use of containers would be almost doubled. Young said the bag system is intended to promote recycling; less garbage equals less cost. Novotny remarked
Monday, May 1, 2017
that maybe it would be worth another look at containers to again compare cost. Summer Recreation Councilor John McBroom reported on the Park and Recreation committee. During the committee meeting, LuAnn Klevan discussed Community Education Summer Recreation changes. Community Ed has in the past organized summer baseball and softball programs. The city has contributed some funding for the programs. There was discussion on what this funding from the city should be. Community Ed will not continue to sponsor traveling baseball and softball teams. The Community Ed Recreation program will include a wide variety of sport activities. Community Ed suggested the city continue to provide funding for field maintenance and toilets, possibly $2,500. Or, the city could provide funding toward activities offered to help reduce fees for participants. It was noted that non-profits can pay for ball field maintenance. Novotny commented that the city has in the past offset some of the cost for the individual playing the sport, but now we are not. Since the city’s contribution has been reduced, fees have been raised to participate in the programs. A motion to authorize Park and Recreation to oversee drainage of water to get the playground usable was approved.

deny the request as submitted. The council looked into an option of applying for a grant of up to $10,000 for overhead doors at the city’s shop. Zimmer explained that to apply for the grant, the city would need to commit to making the purchase which has a total price of nearly $26,000. The other option discussed was to just install “electronic eyes” on the current door, for safety reasons. No formal action was taken. The issue was tabled until the next meeting. The city accepted “Bid A” (from Rochester Sand & Gravel) of $139,934 for the Industrial Drive project. The council considered two quotes from JJBK Construction for gazebo repairs needed in Willow Park. Zimmer pointed out that the costs were not budgeted. After discussion, the council chose to see if city staff can make repairs for now. The council OK’d the hiring of four firefighters, pending physical exams. The new firefighters are Ryan Hebel, Mitchell Plaehn, Kevin Burrichter, and Mitchel Czapiewski. John Fenske shared that the “mass registration” for summer park programs will be May 17, and he said the bathrooms are now open in the parks. Chad Hindt stated that cameras have been installed at Willow Park. Zimmer reminded all that citywide cleanup will be May 13,
9 a.m. to noon, and that the Ambulance Pancake Breakfast will be May 21. The next regu-
lar meeting of the city council will be Monday, May 8 at 6 p.m. The public is welcome.

By Barb Jeffers It’s no bull that the Lanesboro Sales Commission in Lanesboro, Minn., is a very successful business. Beyond that though, the fact is that it is also a very popular place among farmers and city folk alike. The business was started in 1947 by Paul Evenson, Walter Ode and Duffy Lewis and became well-known over the years as the number of people attending the livestock auctions grew. In 1985 Joe Nelson bought shares in the Lanesboro Sales Commission and in 1994 the family owned and operated business was acquired by Joe and Barb Nelson and family. Joe and Barb’s nephew Erik Nelson is the manager of the Lanesboro Sales Commission, while their daughter Kayla Nelson, nephew Jesse Nelson and Joe’s cousin, Larie Wohlert, work in the office, which makes it a true family-run business. The office staff works well together and are very friendly, always giving customers service with a smile and calling them by their first names as they get to know each other very well over time. Having been in operation now just over 70 years, the “sales barn� has become a second home to many, including employees and customers. “There’s a lot of three and four generation families still selling here,� says Joe, and many of their customers drive a long distance to attend the sales at the Lanesboro Sales Commission. “We cover a big area through the Midwest,� states Joe, and with the sales barn’s great reputation, the area they cover will surely keep growing. Lanesboro Sales Commission is known for being very clean and the animals well taken care of, which brings people from near and far to the auction sales.

demonstration plots where varying nitrogen fertilizer rates were compared. Evaluation tools, such as soil nitrate tests, cornstalk nitrate tests, SPAD readings for estimating chlorophyll levels in corn leaves, and whole plant samples, were used to evaluate how efficiently the nitrogen was being used by the crop. Yield data are collected from each plot as another measure to determine the optimal fertilizer rates, both agronomically and economically. Project partners include the MN Department of Agriculture, University of Min-
nesota Southern Research and Outreach Center, University of Minnesota Extension, local crop advisors, and the SE MN SWCD Technical Support Joint Powers Board. John’s work combines helping livestock producers with better management of manure while maximizing the efficient use of the nutrients in the manure.

tip their hat, scratch their nose, nod their head or use a number of other methods to get the auctioneer’s attention. Auctioneer Murt Boyum and the ring assistants get to know each bidder’s unique signal while many in the audience would not notice their slight movements. Joe Nelson states that “technology is a big part” of changes made in the office and how work is completed there with the use of computers and the internet. “The quality and the genetics of the cattle has been the biggest change,” notes Joe. Cattle auctions are held on Wednesdays and livestock auctions are held on Fridays. Special auctions are held on Mondays in the fall. The Lanesboro Sales Commission specializes in providing a “fair, competitive market for livestock buyers and producers,” according to the Facebook page of the business, facebook.com/ lanesborosalescommission. It is not only farmers that spend time at the Lanesboro Sales Commission. Many people in the area have come to know the sales barn for the tasty food that can be found at the Stockyard Cafe. The Stockyard Cafe is located just outside the auction ring doors and has built its own reputation for great food at a fair price. The Stockyard Cafe serves hearty breakfasts for those with big appetites to get their day started off on a good note. Breakfast is served until 10:30 a.m. Lunch begins at 10:45 and includes many of your favorites such as burgers and hot dogs, but the mouth-watering daily specials are what draws in the customers. On a recent Friday, the lunch menu listed beef stroganoff, grilled chicken sandwich, fritter, egg salad and chicken salad sandwich, potato soup and more. The filling home-style beef stroganoff meal was reasonably priced at $6.00. Whether a visit to the Lanesboro Sales Commission is one of your weekly activities or not, it may have an impact in your town you may have never realized.

there is no ham in it. A hamburger is a cooked ground patty, typically made out of beef, though different meats have been substituted in recent years. Still, most people will not find ground ham in their hamburger. The name "hamburger" comes from where the first hamburger was created. The hamburger originated in Hamburg, Germany. Historians surmise it was based on minced beef specialties that first appeared around different regions of Europe as early as the 15th century. Germans devised a dish called the Hamburg Steak. It consisted of a simply flavored, shredded, lowgrade beef with regional spices. The dish was eaten both raw and cooked. As Germans began to emigrate to America, restauranteurs and street vendors in New York City and other popular port cities began offering a beef dish cooked in the "Hamburg style," to attract German patrons. Eventually, the beef of the Hamburg steak was served between buns to make it more portable, most notably at county fairs across America. Different people are credited with creating the first official hamburger, including Frank and Charles Menches, who were vendors at the Erie County Fair in New York. The vendors reportedly used beef for sandwiches when they ran out of sausage. Others credit Charlie Nagreen, known as "Hamburger Charlie," with the invention of the hamburger. He made sandwiches out of meatballs that he was selling at the 1885 Seymour, Wisconsin Fair, so that customers could eat them while walking. The Seymour Community Historical Society said that 15-yearold Nagreen named the dish a "hamburger" after the Hamburg steak. There are other reports

attributing the hamburger's invention to other people, so the history remains fuzzy with respect to this popular food.
Regardless of where, when and by whom it was invented, the hamburger has maintained its popularity into the 21st century.

take long walks, in between rainfalls, and even go on a few bike rides. Lu has fashioned a stand on his three-wheeled recumbent bike for Gilbert to hop on and ride, as sitting on his lap for those downhill stretches was too clumsy. Thin and Tasty Grilled Pizzas
Spread a 12” flour tortilla with purchased or homemade marinara sauce. Top with cooked meat, veggies, herbs, and cheeses of your choice. We topped our latest concoction with marinara sauce, cooked sausage, chopped onions, poblano peppers, herbs, and cheddar and parmesan cheese. Grill at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or more, depending on the thickness of your toppings.
Thankfully, another safe prom for Fillmore Central is in the books! Our sincere gratitude to all of the participating businesses in this community! Your support of our kids is overwhelming!!

Easter is now but a fond memory. Our daughter called before the holiday to make sure Lu brought Gilbert to our family/ friends gathering. She wanted to connect Gilbert again to Charlie, a little boy dear to our hearts. Charlie has recently been diagnosed with autism. Charlie and his twin brother were born three months early. Now the twins are five and otherwise healthy. We noticed at a family reunion in Whalan last summer that Charlie and Gilbert seemed to connect on a level that was different than with the numerous other children at the gathering. Gilbert had a calming effect with Charlie on Easter as well, letting the little boy snuggle into his fur for a hug, and lead him around by his leash. Gilbert seems to know Charlie’s need for his quiet presence in a way that is beyond our understanding. It is easy to see that Gilbert and Charlie share a special bond when they get together. Knowing Gilbert’s success story with Lu, Charlie’s parents, Kayla and Tyler, have started the long process of searching for a service dog. They looked into Can Do Canines, but the wait is over two years. Life with autism is full of daily challenges, from meltdowns to sleepless nights, and the help of a canine friend is needed sooner. Charlie needs the comfort and reassurance the right dog will bring. Hopefully, a service dog will help him with social interactions, tamping down the anxiety autistic children often experience daily and lend a peaceful presence at bedtime. So the family has started to work with a trainer in Rochester, as the wait will be considerably shorter, though much more expensive.

There is a fundraising underway at youcaring.com, and you can help him by clicking on Charlie’s Service Dog inK FundPrinted with Soy raiser.

Journal Writing Project:
Benefits of modern medicine By Dominique Dobson Do you know anyone with Parkinson’s disease? Have you heard of the DBS surgery that helps Parkinson’s patients? Since lately I have been spending a lot of time in Dominique the hospital, Dobson it has helped me realize the wonders of modern medicine. The one type of modern medicine I have chosen to write about is the DBS surgery. DBS stands for Deep Brain Stimulation, which is for individuals with Parkinson’s disease. The reason individuals have this elective surgery is because it helps stop the tremors. DBS is a procedure where surgeons implant a device called a brain pacemaker, which is the size of a stopwatch. It sends electrical signals to the brain. Some individuals may think that it damages healthy brain tissue, but in reality it just blocks electrical signals to certain part of the brains. This surgery consists of three parts. First, the lead, which is an isolated wire that is implanted in the brain. The next part is the extension, which is an insulated wire that passes under the skin of the head to the shoulder and then to the battery pack. The final stage is the battery pack that is implanted under the skin near the collarbone. Then the battery pack is turned on. Many individuals still have to take medicine after this procedure, but it decreases their symptoms. Prognosis varies from patient to patient.
I am the daughter of someone that has Parkinson’s and has gone through the surgery twice. After the first surgery and the battery pack was turned on, I observed the tremor of his left hand stop. Recently he has gone through the surgery a second time to stop the tremor of his right hand. The surgery is about a four-hour procedure. After the first surgery, I asked my mom about when she saw a difference with my father’s tremor, and she said she saw a difference as soon as they turned the battery pack on. I realized that after they turned the battery pack on, I had difficulty remembering him without his tremor. The DBS surgery has helped him in more ways than the medicine he was on ever did. Now that he has had part of his second surgery, all he has left is have the battery pack put in later this month. After he has the battery pack put in and turned on, then he will be able to do more things than he had been able to do with the Parkinson’s disease. Now that my father has had this surgery, he will be able to do many things that he hasn’t been able to do. He can now be able to plant his garden easier. He can also work on his computer without shaking as bad. One other thing that he can do now is that he can work in his studio without getting frustrated. Modern medicine has helped my family in many ways. Dominique Dobson is a student at Mabel-Canton High School. She is one of eight area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its eighteenth year.

Rushford EDA zeroing in on goals By Kirsten Zoellner At the Monday, April 24 city council meeting, more than six items of recommendation were presented to the council by the Economic Development Authority (EDA). Among them a Minnesota Department of Employment and Terri Benson Economic Development report and details of Micro Grant Funds and Revolving Loan Fund activity. Most notable in the recommendation was a four-page document detailing the EDA Objective and Strategic Plans. “It’s to keep us on track; defining goals,” said Councilor and EDA member Terri Benson. “How do we know if we’re making an impact? We thought this was a good way.” Four main objectives round out the plans and strategies for identifying the specifics, measurable progress, and designa-
tion of who will complete each goal, realistic results, and the time frame in which it can be completed are thoroughly documented. The main objectives include: downtown vitality, an increase to local workforce of 50 jobs by 2025, fulfillment of housing demand by 2025, and more effective marketing of the community. Some of the goals within the plans include streetscape and signage improvements, added bike racks and benches, lighting for the Magelssen Bluff sign, keeping downtown business buildings occupied, sales of Himlie and Rush Creek development areas, repurposing of the school site, creation of housing development or redevelopment incentive, and increased social media and online traffic. EDA Micro Grant funding continues to be a success and another two were approved. The first was a $500 grant to be used towards a $1,920 project for Rushford Manufacturing. The project includes new business signs for outdoor display and
for vehicle logo display. The second Micro Grant request, from Bluff Country ATV Club, is part of a $2,950 project for website development, advertising, communications, and meetings with business owners and landowners. It was also noted that the ATV club, which encompasses members from Fillmore, Houston, Winona, Olmsted, and Wabasha Counties, has secured the services of a hobbyist videographer. A high-quality day video will be done for the club and will feature several of Rushford’s trail and vista areas. “The club is really busy,” said Councilor Vern Bunke. “They’re going to be really good representatives for Rushford.” The city council has also considered and approved a recommendation from Public Works Director Roger Knuston and worker Dave Lombard regarding a municipality incentive program. Affiliated with Sugar Loaf Ford Lincoln in Winona, the program is offered through the Ford Fleet Program and is a win-

truck, and skid steer. One of the last items for business for the council was approval of certifying past due charges to the Fillmore County Auditor for collection with property taxes. The owner of 733 Olson Drive and their mortgage lender, Bank of America, were both notified that they may request a hearing with the city, but the owner declined the hearing. $834.07 in utilities due will be certified to the county with additional interest of 5% added to the total due. During “Reports and Updates,” City Administrator Tony Chladek indicated he’s secured a meeting May 11 with Senator Jeremy Miller and is trying to nail down Representative Greg Davids on the same day for a meeting regarding Local Government Aid. “They should be jumping up and down and pushing the benefits of LGA for small cities really hard,” said Chladek, who urged the council members and the public at large to contact the two legislators. “There are a number of cities that are under 5,000. They should be perpetually supporting it. Now is the time to push them. If there’s any opportunity, this is it.” The next Tony Chladek regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, May 8, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
win for both the company and the city. Through the program, truck vehicles are sold to municipalities at a state bid price. After a year’s time, the city will trade the truck in to Sugar Loaf for a new vehicle with very little cost to the city. The city will do a transfer title each year after the initial year and at the end of the year, Sugar Loaf gets the older unit back and can resell it to the average customer. “This means we don’t have maintenance and repair on the vehicle; no battery, no tires, no belts,” noted Knutson. There are guidelines to the program that the city must adhere to, however. The truck must stay under 7,000 miles per year. Knutson believes this will not be a problem as the department can rotate their fleet of vehicles depending on task and mileage. “After the 2007 flood, many trucks were replaced and we got out of sync on rotating trucks. But, we have been planning and setting aside funding to be able to take advantage of good prices and good deals,” added Knutson. The current offer from Sugar Loaf is trade-in of a 2015 Dodge Crew Cab for $24,000 and a 2007 Ford for $7,000. The cost to the city for two new trucks, less the trade-ins, is $29,900, plus registration and fees. The total expense to purchase two new trucks next year is $350. The truck budget has sufficient funds to cover the costs for 2017, but Knuston noted that the fund will still need to continue growth to cover future replacement of the Tandem, F-450, F-750, flower basket watering truck, ¾ ton

Our staff at the Fillmore County Journal would like to take a moment to thank our readers and our advertisers for their support, participation, and sense of ownership of this publication. Without the support of our advertisers, we could not provide meaningful coverage of city council, county board, and school board meetings. We also could not provide free obituaries, along with free birth, engagement, wedding, and military service announcements. Without the support of our advertisers, there would be no sports section, and no recognition of the accomplishments of our youth. And, we wouldn't be able to provide all of the great human interest stories that capture the interests and hearts of our readers. And, we thank our readers for not only supporting this publication by reading the newspaper cover-to-cover each week, but for also supporting the businesses that advertise in this publication.

Fillmore County Sports Softball Perfection By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal.com The teams came in perfect on the year. The game The Trende featured a Report near perfect finish; bottom seven, one run game, runner on third, full-count, powerPaul Trende pitcher versus clean-up batter. TRC-West powers Chatfield (5-0) and GMLOK softball (5-0) dueled. The #5 in Class AA Gophers led 1-0, 2-0, 2-1, and 3-1. In the bottom of the fourth, the first two Bulldogs reached and advanced. Nine-hitter Liz Jacobsen’s shot up the middle scored both (3-3).
In Chatfield’s seventh, two Gophers reached and advanced. Hottest hitter, Lexi Chase, singled in the go-ahead run. Belle Berg was cut-down at the plate. Carlie Berge then singled in Chase. The Gophers led 5-3. In GMLOK’s bottom, with one out, Courtney Schmidt (single) and Jocelyn Voeltz (double) reached in succession. Gretchen Corson’s ground out scored Schmidt (5-4). Four-hitter Gracie Schmidt, who just happened to hit a huge grand slam in last year’s Bulldog win, stepped to the plate. The count ran full. Schmidt fouled off a couple, just missing one. In a battle of 5’10� Berge and 6’1� Schmidt, a swinging strikeout ended the game. In a classic, Chatfield stayed perfect (6-0) via a 5-4 victory. Berge (3 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 K, Win, 2-4, 2 RBI - gamewinner), Chase (4 IP, 4 H, 3 ER,
5 K, 4 BB, 1-2, 2 R, RBI), and Berg (2-4) led the victors. Jacobsen (2-3, 2 RBI), C-Schmidt (2-4, R, SB), and Meskill (7 IP, 10 H, 5 ER, 3 K, 3 BB, Loss) led GMLOK (5-1). First place Chatfield (7-0) then beat Caledonia 14-4 in six innings.
Falcons Fly to 4-0
In recent memory, FC/L baseball’s regular seasons have been an “eh,� but their post-season’s a “wow.� This year’s regular campaign is starting differently. Courtesy of a 3-0 week, FC/L is yet to be defeated. They beat M-C 18-3 in five. Samuel Peters (4-4, two 2Bs, 3 RBI, 2 R), Walker Ward (3-4, two 2Bs, 5 RBI, 2 R), and Riley Means (3-3, 2B, 3 R) led the offense. Senior lefty Colten Kraling (5 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, 2-3, 2B, R) got the win. Logan Richardson (1-3, 2B, RBI, R) took the loss. Frank Jaszweski Park then opened its new press/stands area versus Cotter. In the bottom of the seventh, with it 3-3, FC/L loaded the bases. Cole Schwichtenberg singled in Josh Peters for the dramatic 4-3 win. S-Peters (2-2, RBI, R), Means (2-3, 3B, R), and J-Peters (2-3, R) did the hitting. Collin Scott (6 IP, 10 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, ND) and Logan Corson (1 IP, Win) worked the mound. FC/L then travelled to Southland. S-Peters gave up a first inning Bret Matthews 2-run home run, then just two hits. A Falcon two-run third tied things. Ward’s first varsity home run (3-run shot in the sixth) was the game-securing hit. FC/L prevailed 6-2. S-Peters (7 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 8 K) got the win (2-0). Corson (3-4, 2 Riley Means get safely dirty at second base in a Falcon win R), Ward (1-2, HR, 3 RBI, R), over Mabel-Canton (Jack Arneson pictured).

Rushford-Peterson looks for answers to baseball concerns By Kirsten Zoellner At the Monday, April 24 R-P School Board meeting, concerned parent Steve Highum brought concerns from the parents of baseball team members to light. The concern stems from heavily reduced game opportunity for the junior varsity squad. The number of games for the 2017 season had been drastically reduced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a big blow to our kids,â&#x20AC;? said Highum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are they supposed to get better as a team? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to have fun playing this game. Our kids deserve to be better respected than this.â&#x20AC;? Activity Director Dan Bieberdorf wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised by some of the frustrations and chalked the scheduling issue up to low player numbers and a roadblock within the Three Rivers Conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to field two teams,â&#x20AC;? he stated. In the last two seasons, the eighth grade junior high team and varsity teams played the same nights and at the same site, while the junior varsity played the same night at an alternate field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to have enough to make it work,â&#x20AC;? added Bieberdorf. There are just 17 players, grades 9-12, for the R-P team, compared to more than 60 in other districts. Following a Three Rivers Conference meeting last year, the option to have a varsity game followed by a junior varsity game was explored and eventually done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great opportunity for us,â&#x20AC;? said Bieberdorf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were developing
and creating a positive experience for the kids.â&#x20AC;? Feedback from other districts in the conference said, overwhelmingly, that the game setup didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. Due to lack of interest in other 12 districts in the conference, which made up 17 of 20 games, R-P was forced to cancel more than two thirds of its junior varsity games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therein lies the challenge. How do we get games for our junior varsity?â&#x20AC;? asked Bieberdorf. Highum questioned the option of starting games earlier, as several districts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have field lights, which leads to shortened innings of second games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to give. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a small school,â&#x20AC;? added Highum. The ninth grade players have the option to dress for the varsity game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems to be a lot would be playing anyway,â&#x20AC;? said Board Chair John Linder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus has to be on the varsity. We have to make distinctions. Everyone gets their chance eventually.â&#x20AC;? Bieberdorf noted that several options can continue to be explored and attempts will be made to get as much practice and game time as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best we can do. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not.â&#x20AC;? Progress on the new school site is now closing in on 100 days until completion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still moving along at a blistering pace,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Robertson,
representative for the district from ICS Consulting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming around that last corner. I know it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, it does,â&#x20AC;? chimed in Superintendent Chuck Ehler, earning a round of chuckles. The first sanding of the terrazzo flooring is underway and concrete paving is going in outside the building. Restrooms are being finalized and boards and projector items are being installed. Gym equipment is also being finalized and crews expect to move the gymâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wood floor in a week to 10 days. It will sit to allow the wood to acclimatize to the new site before being installed in the new gym. Carpet, doors, and hardware are underway. The theatre is being painted and chairs are expected to go in within the next two weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to look like a school,â&#x20AC;? added Robertson. Change order #10 was presented to the board for approval in the amount of $95,354. Robertson noted the amount seems substantial, however, of the entire $38 million project ($34 million so far) and $1 million in presented change orders, just $230,000 in change orders has been approved prior to this request. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just over half of a percent of the contract,â&#x20AC;? he added. The request was approved unanimously. Other requests for approval from the board included athletic field enhancements. Working with Winona Nursery, development of plans for field enhancements have been broken into

An Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County
County discusses state auditor’s assessment By Karen Reisner Fillmore County’s audit for 2015 was conducted by Eide Bailly LLP. Over a quarter of Minnesota counties hired a private firm to do their audit in 2015. State Auditor Rebecca Otto asked for a review of county audits conducted by private CPA firms. A report was released, “Assessing the Adequacy of 2015 County Audits Performed by Private CPA Firms.” Manager Joel Stencel and Brian Bluhm, Director of Assurance Services, were in the county this week working on the county’s 2016 audit. They wanted to address the state auditor’s assessment. Bluhm said no firms were singled out in the assessment. Commissioner Duane Bakke maintained that the state auditor’s office reviews our audit every year. The county has had a private firm do the audit since 2003. Bluhm said it was disappointing to them that they were not able to respond to the review before the report was issued. We did not have the opportunity to show them where we did the work. The issue was inadequate documentation in
the firm’s work papers. Bluhm noted they will look into those documentation items this week. If any financial statements were materially misstated they could correct them in the 2016 audit. Bakke made it clear that there is no allegation that money is short or missing. Chairman Randy Dahl explained that having an audit at the county level is not only for compliance but also to let us see where we could do better. The private audit is a valuable tool. He suggested the state is politicizing the current system. Bakke said counties can choose to use a private firm for the audit or use the state auditor. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman noted that all local governments, including school districts, are required by law to have an audit. She expressed her confidence in Eide Bailly, adding they are an excellent firm to do the audit for us. Bluhm insisted they take it seriously. He expressed his firm’s appreciation for the opportunity to do the county’s audit. Other business in brief • Rural recycling sites were

again discussed. These rural dumpsters are only for recyclables; like cardboard, cans, and plastic bottles. They are put there for the benefit of rural residents. There have been problems with the wind flipping up the lids and blowing material out. The bins will be placed so wind will more likely keep the lids down. Several possible actions were discussed that may be taken to discourage improper dumping. • In March the board approved the Benefits Committee’s request to send out for requests for proposals for full benefit consulting. Three proposals were received. The committee recommended the low quote from Flexible Benefits Consulting, Inc. for benefit consulting services. Justin Kroeger stated they would ask for 1.25% commission for their services. Based on health insurance premiums and current built in commission rates, it would amount to about $16,400. He explained it will be an open ended agreement which can be terminated with a 30-day notice. The board approved the Flexible Benefits proposal. • County Attorney Brett Corson informed the board about a Summons and Complaint due to a clandestine lab cleanup. The civil action is over a cleanup costing $4,465.57 that was conducted last year. The defendants are required to pay restitution to the land owner, but so far have paid little. The land is unmarketable until it has been certified that it is cleaned up. The landowner chose not to follow the
MERCHANTS BANK IS PROUD TO WELCOME
JERAD BROWN
request for proper disposal of the shed where the product was produced. The shed has been removed, but the landowner has refused to say where it was taken for disposal. Because of the chemicals involved, the shed needs to be disposed of properly for environmental reasons. Corson said to make the property cleanup certified, it will require knowing where the shed went. Bakke said he was concerned about the ordinance and the fact that the landowner was not aware of the clandestine use of the property. However, the disposing of the shed was illegal. The board approved the placing of a tax assessment on the property to collect over a period of years for the clandestine lab cleanup cost, which the county has paid. If the amount is paid by alternative means, the lean on the property will be released. • Corine Haugen, an intern with the attorney’s office for the last three months, commented on her experience. She noted the team was always willing to answer questions and to give her work. She thanked the board for the opportunity, adding that based on her own educational goals, the internship was extremely successful. • A request had been made by a neighboring landowner to annex some property into the city of Ostrander. The Minnesota Board of Adjustments reported that the property was already within the city limits according to MnDot maps. A Statement of Understanding of the city limits of the city of Ostrander was approved. The signing of the statement by the
Page 25
county, city and township is an agreement that the real estate taxes for 2018 and there after will reflect that the property is located within Ostrander city limits. • Alex Hartley was hired as an Intermittent Deputy effective April 26. • A consultant services contract with Bolton and Menk for the airport runway preservation, crack repair and sealcoat project was approved, not to exceed $47,000. County Engineer Ron Gregg explained this amount will be added to the actual cost of the work. After state and federal funding, the county’s contribution is expected to be about $14,000. The low bid from Scott Construction in the amount of $399,288.99 was approved for 2017 sealcoat projects. Bakke noted this amount is under the engineer’s estimate. Six bidders placed bids to replace two culverts on CR 117. The pipe will be installed by Midwest Contractors at a cost of $120,428. This is also below the engineer’s estimate. • Approval was given for the State of Minnesota Annual County Boat and Water Safety Grant agreement in the amount of $3,057 for 2017. • A resolution to apply for an educational grant from Winneshiek County Solid Waste Agency was approved. This is an annual application. • Approval was given to replace Information Systems switches for four buildings at a cost of $67,654.43. Vickerman noted that half of the switches will be replaced this year and the other half next year.

Becoming a storm spotter By Barb Jeffers There is no better time to take storm spotter training than during Severe Weather Awareness Week on a rainy night with thunder booms and lightning flashes taking place outside. Although Fillmore County was only under a slight risk of severe thunderstorms, it was a good reminder that we should always be aware of the weather conditions in and around our area. Severe Weather Awareness week was held April 17-21, 2017 in Minnesota
and Wisconsin and included two statewide tornado drills on Thursday, April 20, 2017. On the evening of April 19, 2017, a group of 57 people met at MiEnergy Cooperative in Rushford, Minn., to receive National Weather Service Storm Spotter Training from Todd Shea, Warning Coordination Meteorologist with the National Weather Service (NWS) in La Crosse, Wis. Kevin Beck, Fillmore County Emergency Manager, introduced himself to begin the evening thank-

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. Beck. For more information on CodeRED, go to the Fillmore County website, www.co.fillmore. mn.us/code-red-notifications where there is a link to click on and “it’s very very easy to sign up for,” commented Kaase. Shea began by introducing trainees to storm spotting, saying, “What we are asking you as spotter is to observe the weather that is occurring in your area,” and, “what is occurring with thunderstorms” and although the NWS wants spotters to be safe he noted, “we are asking people to go out in the weather though, so it is inherently a little more dangerous than just being hunkered down at home,” he said. “This information is all used not only by local communities and local officials, but by the National Weather Service, too, to improve
ing all those attending for taking time out of their busy schedules to take the Storm Spotter Training. Sheriff Tom Kaase then spoke and recognized Beck saying Storm Spotter training is just a part of the work that Beck does throughout Fillmore County. Kaase then thanked the crowd for attending saying it was “a nice size crowd” that came out on a rainy night. “The awareness and the early warning” that storm spotters provide “helps saves lives and keep them safer,” stated Kaase. “By you folks learning the things you are tonight and being able to recognize that and get that information to the appropriate sources can have a huge positive impact,” Kaase said. Kaase next asked how many people in the room were signed up for “CodeRED,” with very few people raising their hands. Kaase explained that CodeRED is “an alert system that is available to people and businesses throughout Fillmore County and it’s free of charge and you can get alerts to your cell phones, to your emails, to your home telephones of different emergency type alerts, including weather,” he said. Beck explained how important CodeRED is, because if you are signed up for CodeRED “when the National Weather Service issues a warning typically it goes to all the tv stations and then gets broadcast out to all the radio stations - that actually will hit your phone or email just as fast as it hits theirs so you will probably be ahead of the ball game, because it takes just a little bit to get it across the tv and stuff,” stated
our warnings, to make them more timely and get a good feel for what is going on in the area,” Shea stated. Shea says the mission of the NWS is “to try protect life and property,” then joking, adds, “we can’t control the weather, although people think we do,” but says, “what we try to do is give people heads up when there is bad weather coming,” and spotters can play a part in that. “Your report could make a difference in saving lives and lowering property damage” when severe weather threatens, Shea told the people in attendance. “Realize when you see the warnings come across the television stations or on radio, or maybe it comes on your phone, that a lot of times that process is started from a spotSee STORM Page 27

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: On most days I observe college students who are wearing dark jackets and hats, listening to â&#x20AC;&#x153;tunesâ&#x20AC;? while walking, or walking in the same direction as motor traffic Troy H. rather than Christianson facing that traffic. This street has no sidewalks so all the walking occurs close to the cars. I am concerned that these young people are putting themselves at risk of becoming victims of motor vehicle - pedestrian accidents. Are there are any laws regarding these behaviors or at least any generally accepted â&#x20AC;&#x153;best practicesâ&#x20AC;??
Answer: We all need to do our part in reducing the number of pedestrians and bicycle crashes by looking out for each other by avoiding all distractions and obeying all traffic laws. With spring upon us, more people will be out walking, jogging and bicycling. Each year in Minnesota, approximately 35 pedestrians and seven bicyclists are killed because of collisions with motor vehicles. â&#x20AC;˘ From 2011-2015: Pedestrians and bicyclists comprised of nearly 11% of all traffic fatalities each year â&#x20AC;&#x201D;71% of these fatal crashes occur in urban areas. â&#x20AC;˘ Thirty-eight percent of pedestrians and 27% of bicyclists killed had consumed alcohol. â&#x20AC;˘ Eighteen percent of pedestrians killed were not crossing properly.

ter,â&#x20AC;? stated Shea. The NWS provides services to their spotters, such as Hazardous Weather Outlooks, which are sent to the spotters via email and a Spotter Activation Notification System (SANS), which is used by the La Crosse NWS office to provide further guidance when spotters are needed. The spotters were trained on where to place yourself to watch for storm and tornado development, how to report, what to report and how to report it. Saying it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;very windyâ&#x20AC;? does not help the NWS determine wind speed, so if the spotter does not have an anemometer to read wind speed there is an estimate sheet given which ranges from 25-31 mph (large branches in motion) up to greater than 75 mph (corn flat, tree uprooted and windows broke), which spotters can refer to. Likewise, reporting â&#x20AC;&#x153;large hailâ&#x20AC;? does not give the NWS an accurate size of hail stones, so spotters are asked to reference the size of a coin or game ball (other than â&#x20AC;&#x153;marble sizeâ&#x20AC;? as marbles come in different sizes) when reporting the size of hail. Shea explained the stages of thunderstorms, including updrafts (the upward moving air) and downdrafts (also called downbursts or microbursts) - the sudden gust of wind coming out of the storm. Visually, when you see rain it will be in the downdraft area. Thunderstorms hazards such as flooding, lightning and hail must be considered while storm spotters are out, as they can be very dangerous. The attendees learned the different cloud types, such as shelf clouds, wall clouds, and others including scud clouds, which many people often mistakenly think are tornadoes as they hang down from the storm. Shea explained the different thunderstorms, which include single cell, multicell cluster, or line (composed of multiple cells with each being at a different stage in the life cycle of a thunderstorm) and supercell (strongest and longest living type of storm), and also clarified squall lines, which are a line of thunderstorms forming along or ahead of a cold front. The definition of a tornado is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to have connection to the ground,â&#x20AC;? states Shea, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be looking for that violent rotation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minnesota averages 37 tornadoes per year and last year we had 37,â&#x20AC;? Shea noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;June is our busiest severe weather month,â&#x20AC;? and after that the frequency tends to drop off. Spotters report rotating wall clouds, funnel clouds, tornadoes, hail, wind gusts (40 mph or greater), shelf clouds (wedge shaped-leading edge cloud), roll clouds (mark the gust front), flooding, mudslides, damage, injuries/fatalities and winter precipitation, including snowfall and ice. Beck noted that storm spotter training is offered every other year in Fillmore County, so if you or anyone you know is interested in becoming a storm spotter, be sure to attend the next training session in 2019.

DARE has come to a conclusion. Lessons 9 and 10 included a follow up to bullying, learning how to be a good citizen, asking for help and a review of lessons learned over the previous weeks. The students were given an option to take a pledge on standing up to bullying and to accept the challenge to stand up to bullying when they see it happening.
Elementary Book Swap The Elementary Book Swap was a huge success! Kristie Kayfes did a ton of work collecting, leveling all these books and organizing this book swap. Thank you Kristie and to all who donated books to swap.
Chatfield Kindergarteners would like to thank Jason Bannitt, from Farmers Insurance, for donating all their spring planting supplies! They can't wait to start planting!
