Fountain City Council meets during May snowstorm

By Barb Jeffers barb@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Fountain City Council met on Thursday, May 2, 2013 during a record-breaking snowfall in the area. All council members were present in addition to Ronda Flattum, City Clerk, and Police Chief Tom Mosher.

The first order of business was to discuss the city’s insurance coverage with Alton Erickson from Krage Insurance of Lanesboro, Minn. The conversation pertained to the city’s coverage in general as well as for certain events, including Trail Days. The city council and Alton Erickson are satisfied with the coverage the city currently carries.

Dave Gartner of PeopleService was on hand to discuss the wastewater treatment plant.

There is too much nitrogen in individual septic tanks at times and the problem has been a hard one to solve. Work will be ongoing to find a solution.

Consent agenda items were approved including the minutes from the April 4, 2013 meeting, Treasurer’s report, monthly city bills, and monthly Fire Department bills. Also approved were the purchases of tires for the grass truck and $800 for Riverland training, which may be reimbursed.

The council discussed bids received for asphalt work and concrete work. The decision was made to obtain more infor-

mation on the bids and estimate one more inch of asphalt to be added which the council feels is necessary. Concrete bids will be discussed at the June meeting.

Flattum reported to the council on the Safety and Loss Control workshop she attended and also the League of Municipalities workshop. Flattum felt both of these meetings were useful. Flattum and Gartner both attended the MNWARN meeting on April 18 and found it very informative. Flattum suggested the City of Fountain become a member of MNWARN.

The Fillmore County Board at their May 7 meeting set the amount for the road pavement impact fee for sand transport which is required (Ordinance 736) for industrial mining operations. Commissioner Tom Kaase participated via telephone as he was attending a three day Minnesota Public Safety Interoperable Communications Conference at St. Cloud.

The road impact fee was set by unanimous vote at 22 cents per ton per mile. County Engineer Ron Gregg noted he was comfortable with that rate. The fee was set so the required road maintenance agreement could be in place prior to the public hearing scheduled for the Rein Quarry CUP application on May 16 during the Planning Commission meeting. This rate will apply to any mining operation approved under Ordinance 736. The rate will be reviewed every two years.

Gregg explained that once the designated hauling route leaves

the county, the mining operator will have to have an agreement with that county as well, unless they use only state roads. The separate county agreements could have separate fee structures.

Commissioner Duane Bakke said, “It is our own fault if we don’t get it done correctly.” In addition he explained that this is why they want all agreements in place before the hearing. The technical evaluation panel required by the ordinance to review the reclamation plan had met on May 6. Bakke was disappointed that people from state environmental related agencies (DNR and BWSR) failed to attend, adding they had asked to be part of the technical review.

During a telephone conversation later that day Bakke said he had a good discussion with MPCA commissioner John Linc Stine. Stine said he would ask the governor to review the Fillmore County ordinance for industrial mining. Bakke and Stine discussed the county’s moratorium and the process the county used to write See COUNTY BOARD Page 11 

Farmer’s Market Sign The council tabled the topic of a permanent sign being put up for the farmer’s market.

Coleman said the sign would be 4 feet by 4 feet. The chosen spot was to hang it on the backside of the sign post near the entrance to Sylvan Park, and hang it high enough so it can be seen from both directions.

Coleman said they would like to get permission for that location, and to get some direction from the council before they have the sign designed. Once designed, they will bring it back to the council.

O’Connor asked if it was necessary to have a permanent sign for something that happens one day a week during the summer.

City Attorney Tom Manion said the council will have to look at the policy for signage. He said they could use the fact that the farmer’s market is a tourist draw for the town to justify having permanent signage.

The council will be looking at the policies before making a final decision.

C ommentary Quality education on individual levels

By Eric Leitzen The last time we met, I discussed the latest punch-up dustup in the wild world of education, a sort of “Rumble in the Blackboard Jungle” if you will.

On one side, there’s the ideas of STEM and the Common Core, who stress a Math and Science based course of education. There’s a lot of influence being put on so-called “outcome based” education in this camp, which is a teacher’s way of saying there’s going to be tests. Natu- Eric Leitzen rally, this sort of approach is being challenged from the other side of the school spectrum and the defenders of Humanities courses like History and Psychology, along with Arts

classes like Music and, well, Art. School is not simply a place to learn how to pass tests and follow formulas, they say, it is a place to grow as a human being. However, America’s declining test scores and scores of new graduates lacking in what appears to be basic skills would beg to differ on the main goal of education. So, how do we go about making amends between the hard-focus STEM folks and the enrichment-minded folks on the other side?

Now, being the good, moderate, independent thinker that I am, my first thought was a simple one: why can’t we just do both? My wife hates it when I say things like that, and most of the time I just say it to get out of making a tough decision (pizza or Chinese for dinner?

Don’t make me choose!), but you can only have so many egg rolls on a pizza before you start to resemble an obese slug. As

State Representative Greg Davids (R-Preston) and State Senator Jeremy Miller (R-Winona) are pictured with 5th and 6th grade students from Fillmore Central School. The group visited with the lawmakers recently while touring the State Capitol in St. Paul.

harsh as that analogy is, it’s sadly what’s happening with our current education system: we want to encourage the best, but at the same time keep ourselves from discouraging the ones who aren’t doing as well, and we’re ending up with egg roll pizza. Something has to change, something’s got to give, and you just might be surprised to know that, in some ways, it’s already happening.

I taught for a few years in a big district. Big as in, the third biggest district in an entire state big.

Naturally, this big big district had a big big body of students, and they went to separate schools all over the big big town. It was my experience as a sub that lead me to a peculiar discovery one day: a tech high school. Now, being raised in a town of less than 3,000 (and then moving to one of just over 300) I only ever knew one kind of high school.

But down there, there are high schools for the artistically minded, the engineering minded, and even a basic skills high school for the kids who just wanna get out with a diploma. The more I look around at other districts, the more I’m seeing this happening all over. Yes, it seems for all our talk of making sure our schools are teaching the same, doing the same, and that the students are learning the same, there’s a crafty little shell game going on behind the scenes that makes it not so.

On the surface, we pretend that all the schools have the same approach, opportunities, and all that good stuff… but we know there’s got to be something going on behind the scenes.

And so, I say, why not bring it out in the open? It’s already happening, so why not put the money and the support behind it to really make it viable? I mean, let’s face it: it’s a simple fact all children are (ready for this?) dif-

ferent. Some really love the idea of learning as an abstract concept; others just want to graduate and go on to fixing up old cars somewhere, and both sides are absolutely right. We’re forcing all of these diverse students with diverse interests to take the same classes when, at any given point, 20-30 percent probably couldn’t care less. I went to high school with kids that couldn’t have cared about Shakespeare if he walked through the door juggling chainsaws, and on the other hand some never really wanted to know how to run a plunge router. Yes, STEM and the Common Core can work for some students, and work really well, but others really are better suited to discuss Socrates or Da Vinci or Stephen Hawking.

I’ve seen it with my own eyes: high school juniors and seniors discussing pocket dimensions and string theory in the same class as a student who just wants to graduate and start making his own way in life. The last big movement in education sought to bring everyone to the same level socially and educationally, and as a result the top and bottom students, the ones that need to be nurtured the most, are falling through the cracks. It’s not a question of who is better or worse or who is smarter or dumber, it’s a question of people being different, and sometimes wanting different things.

So how is Fillmore County, Minnesota perfectly equipped to combat this? Well, I call it the Fillmore County System of Educational Self-Determination. In other words, let the kids decide what they want to do. We’ve got five high schools in the county: Fillmore Central, Mabel-Can-

ton, Kingsland, Rushford-Peterson, and Lanesboro. Even when I was a student here, it was known that some schools had a stronger focus than others. Why not make it official? Make one a tech high, one an art school, one for Math and Science, one for Humanities, and one for Business-based education. With things like open enrollment and school choice, people don’t have to go to their hometown schools anymore, so why not go to the school that best fits what they want to do in life?

Rather than trying to cram fifteen different pegs into a round hole, let’s make it easier for our children to head toward a career they want with less of the stuff they couldn’t care less about.

Let’s encourage each student to do what’s best for themselves. In these times of tough job markets and high unemployment, we need to start specializing or we will fall behind. I think Fillmore County could serve as a template for better quality education on an individual student level, bringing ahead a new generation of students who not only know what they need to know, but they are willing to put what they have learned to good use to the benefit of everyone.

C ommentary Letter about Senator Miller and sand mining To the Editor, Sen. Matt Schmit of Red Wing, working with Trout Unlimited, has proposed provisions to protect trout streams in Southeast Minnesota from damage resulting from frac sand mining. He wanted these provisions included in the Game and Fish Policy Bill, Senate File 796.

Pristine cold water springs in our karst area create some of the best trout streams in the United States.

Frac sand mining threatens to pollute this water, and disrupt the flow of springs in ways that would raise the water temperature. Death for our trout. Our state has invested millions in stocking and protecting these streams. Trout fishing has provided over a billion dollars in economic activity in the Driftless Area. These special provisions in SF 796 only apply to the Paleozoic Plateau, which is our part of the Driftless Area.

We live within a mile of an old quarry being considered for frac sand mining. It is at the head of a drainage system which feeds our springs and a stream which flows into Money Creek, a tributary of Root River. All of this is threatened because we have no state level standards to protect our region’s trout streams. Sen. Schmit proposed: a mile setback from trout streams; a limit on how much groundwater

frac sand facilities could use; and limiting mining to within 25 feet of the water table. DNR Commissioner Landwehr testified we need all of these provisions to protect the trout streams and groundwater.

Despite this knowledge, Sen. Miller cast the deciding vote to kill these provisions. In talking to Senator Miller’s office staff, I was told he needs more data before he would vote for the amendment. I listened online to the testimony given by DNR Commissioner Landwehr’s, and a representative from Trout Unlimited which Senator Miller would have heard. I heard some very specific data.

It is time we, the concerned citizens who live here, are heard and taken seriously about having input to regulations on sand mining instead of just the sand mining industry. I listened to the sand mining representative say if the set backs are put into the regulations, that would stop sand mining. These regulations, put in place, would only relegate the sand mines to areas not as sensitive to its impact.

Call Sen. Miller at 651-296-5649, or email him at: sen.jeremy.miller@ senate.mn, to let him know you want him to protect his constituents, not frac sand special interests. This could be decided the week of May 6, so contact Senator Miller now.

Sincerely, Joan Redig Rural Houston, MN

Letter about Marriage Equality To the Editor, A culture war is waging to dismantle the Judeo-Christian foundation of this nation. In efforts to redefine traditional marriage, those advocating same-sex marriage claim this is a “marriage equality” issue.

But this is a moral issue, attempting to redefine a godly institution rooted in the biblical scriptures.

Forcing the institutionalizing of same-sex marriage upon Minnesota citizens is not only reprehensible, but is also an assault on religious liberty.

This attack upon scripture will force Bible believers to violate the law

when it forces them to violate their conscience beneath the suffocating tyranny of “political correctness”.

Marriage, as instituted by God, has limitations. In the scriptures Jesus states one male and female joining together, not “Party A” and “Party B.” Biblical moral standards are ingrained into American culture from its inception. Redefining marriage opposes God’s Word and natural law, opening a Pandora’s Box of moral chaos.

If marriage solely between men and women were “limiting,” wouldn’t it also be limiting that marriage be just between two individuals? Wouldn’t polygamy, polyandry, and multiple marriages be scrutinized as “marriage equality?”

Couldn’t “marriage equality” be raised in defense of child or adult/ child marriage as well? Would this be progressive enlightenment?

God’s standard for marriage must be maintained to preserve an ordered society with moral integrity. One can call a dog’s tail a leg, but that doesn’t make it one. Our right to life and liberty is from the Lord. This makes our constitutional government possible. John Adams asserted, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Traditional families are the bedrock of our society. Destroy the God-ordained family and the fabric of our nation crumbles. The decision of Minnesota lawmakers will either affirm or undermine our Judeo-Christian heritage and religious freedom.

Guest Commentary: Can unions survive the implementation of Affordable Care?

By Jeff Erding, Wykoff, Minn.

Democratic candidates enjoy overwhelming support from labor unions of all types. It is doubtful President Obama could have been elected without the votes and financial contributions of the unions.

Unions may Jeff Erding be small in the actual percentage of workers, but carry enormous political clout and have been extremely supportive of the Obama Administration. However, as the details of the Affordable Care Act are gradually coming to light, it appears a severe strain on this heretofore solid relationship is inevitable.

The situation is spelled out very clearly in an article by James McGee in the March 18th online issue of Labor Notes { www. labornotes.org}. Labor Notes is a union advocacy website and is highly regarded as a reliable source of information for union workers. I’ll try to summarize the problem here, but for a more detailed account it would be best to visit the site and read the complete article.

At the heart of the matter is the existence of multi-employer (sometimes called Taft-Hartley) health insurance plans. This is the type of plan that covers many union workers including construction, theater, longshore, hotel, transportation, and food service. These plans are affordable and effective and are governed by a joint board consisting of union and employer managers. Workers retain coverage as they go through short periods of unemployment or move between employers. Coverage is often quite good and dental and eyeglass coverage is usually included. Union workers were told they would be able to keep their present plan and that the implementation of Affordable Care would save them money.

This does not appear to be true.

Instead, the ACA puts multi employer plans at a disadvantage by permitting competitor [non-union] employers access to the new health care exchanges while denying the multi employer funds the same access. ACA calls for a 40% surcharge on the multi-employer plans, making them unaffordable and virtually forcing employers to abandon the plan when the union contract expires. Many union employees are very angry and feel betrayed by the sponsors of ACA, myself included.

Since union membership is relatively low, you may ask why any of this really matters.

It matters because unions are now and always have been the

standard bearers for wages and working conditions for all other workers. Every improvement in wages and working conditions in America has been advocated and fought for by union tradesmen. Without unions, working conditions for everyone would be much different than they are today.

The main selling points for convincing someone to join a union are: 1) multi employer health funds and 2) retirement plans or pensions.

Surprisingly, these items are also very important to signing up contractors . They provide a level playing field in the bidding process when bidding against other union contractors and a consistent means of providing health, welfare, and pension

plans to their employees.

How many union contractors will be able to survive the implementation of the Affordable Care Act? Does ACA spell doom for the unions and multiemployer funds? Will the Democratic leadership be able to “kiss and make up” with angry and confused union workers in time to avoid disaster during the midterm elections? Is ACA, touted as the “Holy Grail” of accomplishments by liberals, going to turn into a complete train wreck” as one of its authors recently stated?

I hope I’m wrong folks, but this looks like another expensive black eye for the Obama administration. Unfortunately, American workers will be paying a heavy price for this one.

C ommentary How Politics Has Changed

By Lee Hamilton When two senators recently got into a spat over whether the Boston Marathon bombings were being p o l i t i c i ze d , the news was everywhere within minutes. Reams of commentary quickly followed. In the maneuver- Lee Hamilton ing over guncontrol legislation, every twist and turn was instantly reported and then endlessly debated. As the effects of the federal sequester start to make themselves felt, outlets in every medium -- print, television, online -- are carrying both the news and the inevitable partisan sniping over its meaning.

This is political reality today, and when people ask me how politics has changed since I first ran for Congress in 1964, it’s the first thing that comes to mind.

Back then, when you spoke to the Rotary in a small town, you were speaking to a few members of the Rotary. Today, you might well be speaking to the world. A debate on Capitol Hill back then might or might not have made the news, but even if it did, days could go by before the rest of

the country reacted. Today, the response is instantaneous, often hot-blooded, and almost inconceivably far-reaching.

It’s not just the sheer proliferation and aggressiveness of the media that have ratcheted up the intensity of political life. Almost every facet of politics is more complicated and hard-edged.

Voters want instant results. Consultants are everywhere. Lobbyists have multiplied and become immeasurably sophisticated at finding ways to get what they want. Well-funded, highly organized interest groups enrich the DC region’s economy, while in the rest of the country grassroots organizations try to influence policy on every cause under the sun. All of this, in turn, has created an unending flood of money. Politics is now big business.

Perhaps because of the scrutiny that political decisions now get -and the speed with which organizations turn those decisions into fundraising opportunities -it is much harder to do the basic work of politics: finding common ground. I don’t think I’m being overly rosy in saying that a generation ago, when politicians of differing views met to hammer out their differences, they actually hammered out their differences. It was not easy, but they

believed that as elected officials they had a responsibility to find their way out of difficult problems together. They understood that this usually meant accepting a solution that was less than perfect.

Today, the first words out of a politician’s mouth when presented with a new proposal are, “It doesn’t measure up.” Incremental achievements have come to be seen as shameful concessions, to be avoided if at all possible. In a Washington that is more ideological, more partisan, and less pragmatic than it used to be, the bedrock notion that politicians would come together to make the country work seems quaint.

It hasn’t disappeared entirely, but it’s certainly endangered.

Which may be one reason there’s been another change I’ve

seen in politics over the years. I first went to Congress at a time when Americans had faith in the institutions of government.

The year I ran for office, Lyndon Johnson was campaigning for President on a platform that the country could successfully wage a war against poverty. Today, it seems inconceivable that a politician would be so bold or so naïve -- it’s not just that Americans have been chastened in their ambitions in the nearly 50 years since, but that they would have very little confidence that government could deliver. Congress can’t even get a normal budget done on time. A “war” on anything seems beyond its grasp.

I don’t mean to be entirely negative. Politics’ greater intensity also has its bright spots. There are more and often better sources of

Andry is a six-pound Chihuahua who just turned 5 years old. He has the appearance of an older dog because of the white around his face, but that just adds to his handsome looks. SDR rescued him from a Texas shelter 45 minutes before his scheduled euthanasia! His ears show signs of Fly Strike - a common condition in the south caused by flies eating the tips of a dog’s ears. Andry loves to sun himself wherever the sun comes in the window. Does not matter where it is, on top of a shoe, at the bottom of the stairs, he will find the sun and follow it!

information. Ordinary Americans are highly engaged, with more avenues of entry into the system.

If you want to understand even the most complex issues facing Congress, it’s possible to learn about them far more easily than just a few decades ago.

Perhaps that’s something to build on. With greater public sophistication about a complex system, Americans might also show more patience with politicians trying in good faith to resolve our challenges. And if that happens, who knows? Maybe we’ll even discover that government can, in fact, successfully tackle the big problems.

Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

“

Living in a small town and helping local small businesses and organizations succeed is one of the most rewarding feelings for me. Being a part of that success is something you can’t find everywhere.”

- Gabby

Gabby Gatzke began working in her local community at a young age. Growing up on a dairy farm and having a mom run a local pizza restaurant gave her the best of both worlds. She was interested in marketing and advertising at a young age and didn’t even know it. After graduating from Fillmore Central High School Gabby went to Winona State University originally to be a teacher but then realized Mass Communications-Advertising was where she wanted to be.

During her senior year at WSU, Gabby began freelance writing for the Fillmore County Journal and also delivered papers to various locations around Winona County.

After graduation Gabby moved back to Preston and began working for SMG Web Design as a Website Consultant and Social Media Specialist. She then moved down to the print side of the business as a Graphic Designer for the Fillmore and Olmsted County Journal as well as Perfect Glossy.

Being able to help businesses and organizations succeed through advertising is a huge passion of Gabby’s. Being out in the community at a young age has helped develop Gabby’s passion for marketing and community involvement. When she isn’t at work you will find her helping out with some kind of community activity.

crombie Trail Series portrays familiar characters from Abercrombie Trail (2009), Pomme De Terre (2010) and Spur Awardwinning Birdie (2011). Simar’s descriptive writing and vivid imaginings accurately depict the stark isolation and many challenges faced by Scandinavian immigrants struggling to tame the land.

“I write about real Minnesota history and fictional Norwegians,” Simar said during a recent interview. “All my life I’ve daydreamed how it might have been to live through the earliest days of Minnesota and wondered how historical events impacted ordinary people’s lives.”

The Abercrombie Trail Series is a must read for anyone who wants to learn more about Norwegians in early Minnesota and who appreciates top-notch, well researched fictional writing.

Candace Simar has also published Farm Girls with the help of her sister, Angela Foster. Farm Girls is a coffee table book of stories and poems about growing up on a Minnesota dairy farm.

“If you learned to swear in Norwegian or shared a two-holer outhouse with your cousin, you’ll enjoy the poetry and prose of these sisters. From memories of Norwegian ancestors and growing up on a Minnesota dairy farm to dreams of Oprah’s couch and rapping with Eminem, Farm Girls will take you back to the days of rural schools, moon light, star light, hope to see a ghost tonight and the auction of the family farm.”

Please look for Candace at the Stand Still Parade. She’d love to visit with you about your family stories. For complete schedule of events log on to www.standstillparade.org.

the ordinance. Bakke admitted he had been disheartened by the earlier lack of response by the state regarding the ordinance. He wanted state officials to understand what Fillmore County has done so far. Some other counties are waiting for the state to make the decisions for them.

The Senate’s Omnibus Game and Fish Policy Bill, which has been moving through committees, met some criticism during the county board meeting. A provision that would not allow “frac” sand mining within a mile of any spring, ground water, seepage area, fen, designated trout stream. . . had been added by Senator Matt Schmit (21, DFL) and was removed in the Environment Finance Committee. An effort to again add the provision by Senator Katie Sieben (54, DFL) failed by a 11-10 vote.

Bakke believes the provision is a really bad idea as all sand pits are environmentally the same.

He asked what is the environmental difference between a frac sand pit and a regular sand pit.

He insisted the real difference lies with processing and transportation issues. He noted if the one mile setback provision became law and was later applied to all sand pits by simply crossing out the word “frac,” it could affect several non industrial pits in the county and lead to their elimination. However, it would not have any effect on the four proposed industrial sand sites near Pilot Mound to be operated by Minnesota Sands as they would be outside the proposed one mile limit.

Chairman Randy Dahl said the state hasn’t had any idea about the process the county went through during a nearly year-long moratorium. Citizens were given the opportunity to participate

Fillmore County Sports

By Paul Trende Gopher Softball Starts 8-0 Thru five games of the season, the Chatfield softball girls really hadn’t had too much to sweat about. Short of a contest with Plainview-Elgin-Millville (where the Goph’s led just 1-0 after four; they won 9-0), they’d rolled to a 5-0 start to the season. A double-header with conference rival Rushford-Peterson changed all that. Each game was back and forth and down to the wire.

The home Gophers came out of the gates swinging. Sidney Irish led off game one with a triple. Five hits and one progression thru the order later and Chatfield led 3-0. R-P got a run back in the second (RBI 2B by Jessica Rislov), and another back in the forth (RBI groundout by Lauren Hadley). The Trojans then took the lead in their half of the 5th, utilizing a couple Gopher errors and RBI singles by Jodi Eggert and Keela Brand. For the first time all year, Chatfield trailed (5-3) late in the game. In the Gopher half of the 5th, Brook Irish authored a 1-out triple. She scored on a Maddie Larrabie sac fly to pull Chat closer (5-4 R-P).

In the bottom of the 6th, Megan LaPlante led off with a single.

Sidney Irish drag-bunted her way onto base (from the left side of the plate). After some tossietoss, LaPlante wound up on third and Irish second. After an out, sophomore center-fielder Kirsten Keefe delivered the biggest hit of the game, a 2-run single up

the middle. It turned out to be the game winner. Kendra Crawford made it interesting in the top of 7th, stealing second and third (after getting hit by a pitch). But she was stranded there. Chatfield snuck past R-P 6-5. Keefe was 4-4 with 3 RBI’s and a run scored. The Irish’s, Sidney (2-4, 3B, 2 R) and Brook (2-4, 3B, RBI, R), plus Ashley Wolter (2-3, 2B), each had two hits. Jennifer Hanson collected the win (7 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 6 K). Eggert (2-4, RBI, R, SB) had two hits for R-P. Game two saw each squad score a pair of runs in the first inning.

Chatfield then got a 3-run insidethe-park home run from Sidney Irish, making it 5-2. But again, R-P battled back. A couple walks came around to score in the third inning (5-4 Chatfield).

In the bottom of the 5th, a wild pitch allowed Crawford to score, tying the contest at 5. In the 7th, Keefe again was instrumental. She took it for the team to leadoff the inning, advanced to second on a Shelby Bernard bunt hit, and then scored on a gamewinning Larrabie single to left.

R-P authored no threat in their half of the 7th. Chatfield, by the same score as game one (6-5), took the second game. Sidney Irish’s hitting (2-4, HR, 3 RBI, 2 R) led the way, while Brook Irish got the win (7 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 5 BB, 5 K). Mariah Mueller (2 R, 2 BB, 2 SB) and Brand (3B, BB, R, RBI) each were 1 for 2 for the Trojans. Crawford pitched

both games and took both losses, which evened R-P’s record at 3-3.

A day later, the Gophers (7-0) trekked to Preston for another double-header with FC/L (3-0).

Chat held a 4-0 lead heading to the bottom of the 3rd in game one, only for Taylor Case to change that. Her two-run double helped pull the Falcons to within one (4-3). Chatfield, leading 6-4, then iced things in the top of the 7th. Sidney Irish led off with a single. Keefe doubled her home.

Brook Irish singled home Keefe’s pinch runner Janessa Erding. An 8-4 deficit was too much for the Falcons to overcome. It stood as the final. The Irish’s, Sidney (3-4, 3B, 2 R) and Brook (2-4, 2B) plus Keefe (3-4, 2B, 2 R, RBI) led the way for the now 8-0 3-River South leading Gophers. Jennifer Hanson picked up a gutsy win. It was almost Hanson against Hanson, versus Hanson against the FCL hitters. The junior hurler allowed just three hits, with seven walks, and 12 strikeouts in 7 innings of work. The 3rd inning was a microcosm of Hanson’s effort. She struck out the first two batters (the first reached on a past ball), then walked three straight, struck out another, gave up the Case double, only to strikeout the final batter for the 1-hit, 3-run, 3-walk, 4-strikout inning. For FCL, Case (1-3, 2B, 2 RBI) had the big hit. Morgan Malley (0-2, 2 BB, 2 SB, 2 R; 7 IP, 11 H, 8 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, loss #1 on the season) was also very involved.

The teams then took the field for game two. Chatfield got rolling early, scoring six runs in the bottom of the first. Mother Nature then crackled. She bolted. It rained, and, over the course of the next couple days, it snowed at an unprecedented level for May. The second contest was postponed with the Gophers leading 6-0 with FC/L batting in the top of the second. The Goph’s ended the shortened week with an 8-0 record. FC/L fell to 3-1.

County-on-County Baseball Crime The four county baseball teams each played a game with a nearby adversary. FC/L hosted GMLOK on Monday and Chatfield hosted R-P on Tuesday. The Falcons didn’t have much trouble with the Bulldogs. They got two runs in the bottom of the first and that was all senior pitcher Jake Tammel (and the Falcon defense) needed.

Tammel went the distance (5 Ks, 4 BBs, 3 Hs, 1 R, Win).

Offensively for the Falcons, Dan Gatzke (2-4, 2B, 3 RBI, R) and Nick Ebner (1-4, 2RBI), batting in the three and four holes, drove in runs. Niko Anderson (2-3, BB, R, RBI) and Andy Love (0-3, 2 ROE, HBP, 3 R), batting first and second, got on base and scored runs. By a final of 8 to 1, FCL handled GMLOK. Senior left-fielder Lucas Roe (1-2, 2 SB’s, R) led the Bulldog effort. Doug

Sabatke had the only RBI, a sacrifice fly.

In Chatfield, R-P (1-5) tested the conference co-leading (5-1) Gophers. A Mitch Irish double, followed by a Nate Skare single, broke the scoring ice in the second inning. The Trojans answered in the 4th. The first four R-P batters reached, one via walk, three via hits. Eric Courrier’s RBI single tied the game.

R-P, however, got no further on the scoreboard, even though they had the bases juiced with nobody out. The Trojans did take the lead the following inning.

Cale Stensgard doubled and his pinch-runner (Parker Dittman) was singled in an at bat later by Fernando Tominaga, making the score 2-1. Chatfield immediately replied. Zach Eggers led off the bottom of the 5th with a single.

After a couple walks and a trio of stolen bases, the Gophers had the bases juiced. An Irish sacrifice fly tied the game at two and an R-P error gave Chatfield the lead.

Each team batted in the 6th, but made no hay. R-P sent two men to the plate in the top of the 7th, but then Mother Nature came calling. The game was suspended due to lightening/rain and then finalized after six innings.

Chatfield got the narrow win, 3-2. Irish (2-2, 2B, R, RBI, sac fly) and Skare (2-3, 2B, RBI) did big damage for Chatfield. Skare collected the win (6 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K). Tominaga (1-2, R, BB) and Courrier (1-3) drove in the R-P runs. Riley Vitse took the loss for R-P, which fell to 1-6. Chatfield is 6-0 in league play (6-1 overall). They are a ½ game up in the 3-Rivers on Wabasha-Kellogg (5-0) and Southland (5-0).

Kirsten Keefe Chatfield Softball

When your team enters a doubleheader undefeated, but plays its two closest contests of the year (6-5 and 6-5), and you have the game winning RBI’s in the first contest, and score the game winning run the second, plus you reach base 10 of 12 times on the week (8 for 11, 2B, 4 RBI, 3 R), you get the Athlete of the Week. Chatfield sophomore center fielder Kirsten Keefe is one reason why the Gophers are 11-0 (as of May 8th).

Matthew J. Opat appointed to fill Third Judicial District vacancy MN Judicial Branch Governor Mark Dayton announced the appointment of Mr. Matthew J. Opat as District Court Judge in Minnesota’s Third Judicial District. Mr. Opat will be replacing the Honorable Robert R. Benson, who retired earlier this year. The judgeship will be

chambered at Preston in Fillmore County.

“Matthew Opat has been an exemplary public servant throughout his career,” said Governor Dayton. “I believe that his experience and passion for the law will help him to honorably serve the people of the Third District.”

Mr. Opat maintains his own private law practice in Chatfield, Minn., Matthew J. Opat, P.A., practicing in areas of real estate, probate, general business, civil, and criminal law. He also serves as the prosecutor for the City of Chatfield in petty misdemeanor, misdemeanor, and gross misde-

House Energy Bill will raise electric bills ST. PAUL – The Minnesota House of Representatives has approved energy legislation that mandates investor-owned utility companies to invest in more expensive and less reliable renewable technology, which will mean higher prices for consumers. State Representative Greg Davids (R-Preston) opposed the measure.

“First the House Democrats forced tax increases on the poorest of the poor, and now they’re forcing higher energy costs on them due to this unfortunate and unnecessary mandate,” Davids said.

Davids said the proposal requires a 40 percent renewable energy standard by 2030 for investor-owned utility com-

panies. It also includes a four percent solar mandate, with a long term goal of ten percent of Minnesota’s energy being derived from solar sources.

Davids said that by approving this plan, House Democrats want to raise the electric bills of hardworking Minnesotans across the state, and are picking winners and losers as a part of their larger goal to force a more expensive and less reliable renewable energy technology (solar) on Minnesota energy companies.

“I support alternative energy, but solar energy is the costliest from of energy out there and it is far from reliable,” Davids said. “If you force a company to spend billions of dollars in order to conduct business, it will pass those costs down to the consumer. With this bill, House Democrats are raising costs on those that can least afford it once again.”

meanor violations. Previously, Mr. Opat served as the Fillmore County Attorney, where his duties included oversight of the County Attorney’s Office and providing legal advice to the County Board and staff. He received his B.A. from the University of Iowa and his J.D. from the Hamline Uni-

versity School of Law. Mr. Opat is a member of numerous community organizations, including the Chatfield Center for the Arts Advisory Committee, Chatfield Lions, Chatfield Commercial Club, and is a retired member of the Chatfield Volunteer Fire Department.

Mr. Opat resides with his family in Chatfield.

Are you ready?

Disasters come in all shapes, sizes, and frequencies and have lasting effects on both people and property. Recent events tell us that floods, tornadoes, chemical spills, and acts of community violence can occur any time and place. If a disaster occurs in Fillmore County, local government and disaster-relief will try to help, but you and your family need to be ready as well because responders may not be able to reach you immediately.

Being prepared can reduce fear, anxiety, and the loss associated with disasters. You should know how to: respond to various types of disasters, be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least three days, have a written plan of action, care for pets and farm animals, and be able to properly reach out to others if you wish to volunteer.

Fillmore County Public

Health, Fillmore County Medical Reserve Corps, and Fillmore County Emergency Management will be hosting a community preparedness event on Monday, May 13 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm at the Ambulance Building located at 100 Emergency Drive in Spring Valley, Minn.

This event will guide community members and leaders through the process of dealing with various types of disasters, how to develop a disaster plan, signing up for volunteer opportunities, and other preparedness strategies. All participants will be given free disaster planning materials. There will also be a drawing for several disaster kit items.

If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact Fillmore County Public Health at 507-765-2636 and ask for Brenda Pohlman.

Come join us for a great time of fun and fellowship!

Police Chief Mosher additionally reported on the Active Shooter Training which took place on April 8 answering the question of residents as to why the streets of Fountain had been lined with police vehicles on that day. The meeting took place at the community center. There

were several actors involved in the training who had handguns with blanks which made the situation seem more realistic.

Officer Mosher said the training was very interesting and is different than other types of training explaining that response to an active shooter is totally different than in other situations.

The training was two hours of classroom time and five hours of hands-on training. There will

2013 Harmony City Wide Flag Display The Harmony City Wide Flag Display is back for a 3rd year. We would like to thank everyone who has helped make this a huge success!

We reached our goal last year of over 100 flags and hope to do the same or even more this year. The first year we had over 60 flags and last year we topped out at 112! We have gotten many great comments from everyone, including non-

residents. We have also added a fifth holiday this year, Flag Day on June 14th.

Here is a little reminder of what it is and what we are trying to do. For a small donation of $25 the Harmony American Legion Post 81 will place a 2 foot by 3 foot flag on a 6 foot tall flag pole in your front yard for a few designated holidays throughout the summer. The flag poles are placed by driving

a small stake into your yard that will leave little or no mark once it is removed. The flags are typically placed out in the morning of the given holiday or in some cases the night before, and are picked up that evening before sunset.

The flags help decorate our community, show the pride we have in our country, and our unwavering support for our troops. The money raised helps

Bluff Country Gathering 2013 Mark these dates on your calendar...May 16-19 is the fifteenth annual Bluff Country Gathering in Lanesboro, MN, a festival to celebrate our old time music heritage and pass on the playing skills and tunes of master musicians from around the country. There is only room for about 100 registered students. The word seems to be out, too, because participants who want to learn from these masters are coming from far and wide. There are already registrations this year from Alaska, California, Washington, Idaho, Arizona, Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Missouri, as well as Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.

The 2013 Gathering is dedicated to two wonderful old time players who passed away in the last year.

Jim Lansford, who was on staff at the Gathering twice with his wife and musical partner Kim, was a fiddler, banjo, guitar and mandolin player and singer. Jim and Kim also had performed for the Minnesota Bluegrass and Old Time Music Association’s summer festival, the Big Island Rendezvous, Victorian Days in Winona, and other Minnesota venues.

The second musician who is being honored by the Bluff Country Gathering is Garry Harrison, a fiddler, luthier and tune collector

who put together the acclaimed Dear Old Illinois, a book of songs and tunes from his native state.

Garry performed in Minnesota for the MBOTMA Winter Weekend with his band The New Mules.

His daughter Genevieve Harrison Koester, who learned Garry’s tunes and playing style, will be passing those on to fiddle students this year. Her bandmates are her husband Smith Koester, a fine player who will be teaching banjo, and cousin Clifford Harrison, who will be accompanying them on guitar in the band now called White Mule.

Dan Gellert from Dayton, OH has performed and taught at the Lanesboro event previously (1999 and 2004). A fiddler/banjoist/ singer of exceptional power and taste, Dan keeps that raw edge to his music that identifies it as the real deal. During 2012 he did some performing with Ry Cooder, including the Woody Guthrie Centennial Concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Another staff member who has been to the Bluff Country Gathering twice previously, Alice Gerrard has a very special place in the old time community. She’s an exceptional singer and player (banjo, fiddle, guitar), the founder of The Old Time Herald magazine, and a recording artist with numerous releases on many labels including

Monday, May 13, 2013 Rounder, Smithsonian-Folkways and County, both solo and with Hazel Dickens, the Strange Creek Singers, Mike Seeger, Brad Leftwich and Tom Sauber, and others.

Alice knew and learned from many of the great older players and is in turn passing the traditions on to new generations. She lives in North Carolina.

The Mostly Mountain Boys are Paul Brown (fiddle, banjo, vocals), Terri McMurray (banjo, banjo-uke, vocals) and John Schwab (guitar, vocals). Paul, whose other job is broadcasting news for National Public Radio, learned old time songs from his family and older players like Fields Ward, Luther Davis and Benton Flippen and has performed and recorded with Flippen, Mike Seeger and numerous others. Terri has played both banjo and banjo uke since she was a child, but the time she spent with the late Tommy Jarrell helped her become the amazing banjo player she is today. Her previous bands include the Old Hollow String Band with Riley Baugus and Kirk Sutphin.

John Schwab has paid particular attention to the playing of the string band guitarists on the 78 rpm recordings of the 1920s-30s, mastering many of the styles and last year published his book on old time backup, Learn From the Masters. Together the three make tight and high-energy music that will definitely get your feet tapping. The band members live in Washington,

Dot Kent is one of the best teachers and callers of old time square dance to be found anywhere. She’ll be calling the Saturday Night Barn Dance and also teaching workshops on dance calling and clog dance. She’s an awardwinning clogger who has won first place in the competition at the Appalachian String Band Festival at Cliff Top, WV. Her husband, Chirps Smith, known to many for his work in bands like the Volo Bogtrotters, New Bad Habits, and the Indian Creek Delta Boys, is not only an accomplished fiddler of some renown, but a superb mandolin player and will be teaching mandolin workshops at the Gathering.

Workshops are only open to those who register for the entire festival. The cost is $200 and includes

Page 27

the workshops, concert, barn dance and lunches. Both the dance and concert are open to the public and are always well-attended events.

Most of the staff members will perform in the concert and they will all play in various combinations for the Barn Dance with Dot Kent teaching and calling square dances and big circles. No experience is required to do the dances and you don’t have to come with a partner.

Just be ready to have a good time at both events!

Farm Safety Day Camp VII

By Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educator for Fillmore/Houston Counties The seventh joint Fillmore/ Houston County fourth grade Farm Safety Day Camp is being held on Tuesday, May 14th at the Mabel Steam Engine Grounds. The event has 455 students registered, representing thirteen schools in the two Jerrold Tesmer counties.

During the day, they will hear presentations on basic first aid, fire extinguishers, calling 911, lawn mower safety, ATV safety, tractor rollovers, livestock safety, general farm safety, danger of grain drowning, sun safety and using seat belts, electrical safety, and PTO safety. MedLink Air from Gundersen Lutheran working with the Mabel Ambulance

Crew is scheduled to be present in the morning.

The Fillmore County Pork Producers are serving lunch to nearly 600 people, in addition to the fourth grade students; there are teachers, volunteer presenters, and FFA members.

The lunch includes pulled pork, white & chocolate milk provided by the Fillmore County ADA, Houston DHIA, Fillmore County DHIA, and Houston County ADA; the Rushford, Preston, and Harmony IGA’s are providing chips, with bananas coming from Kwik Trip.

Mabel in need of ambulance service members

By Hannah Wingert The Mabel City Council met on May 8, 2013 at 7pm. All council members were present.

The meeting began with discussion from visitors at the meeting. Carl Westby asked about blacktopping the gravel alley by his house as there is a recurring erosion problem.

As the alley is owned by the homeowners, it is their responsibility to cover the cost. They would like to have it priced and blacktopped. A motion was passed to have an engineer look at it. A “Watch for Children” sign was also requested for that road, and a motion was passed to put the sign up.

Melissa Folstad said that if they cannot recruit more members, she’s not sure if the ambulance service can continue to function as it has been. An ad has been run in the News Record every year, but hasn’t seen much response lately. She suggested having an article written up about the problem to garner

more awareness. The council decided to discuss this issue more at the next meeting.

Kati Tweeten and Bobbie Vickerman stated that the baseball field is in need of repair and updating. The Minnesota Twins Community Fund will match up to $10,000 for the renovation of existing baseball fields. The Legion has already agreed to fiscally assist with the project, and the ladies will be looking for other sponsors in the community to help fund the project. They estimated the total cost to be approximately $18,000. A motion was passed to have Kati Tweeten apply for the grant in the maximum amount for the City of Mabel.

An automated debit system to enable citizens of Mabel to pay their bills automatically and have employees’ checks direct deposited was discussed.

City Clerk Karen Larson said that Bank of the West’s fees for automated services are $50 a month for the first 25 users

and $0.15 a month for each additional user. The council had previously decided to go with Banyan for those services, but had not made any payments yet. A motion was passed to rescind the motion for Banyan and to use Bank of the West instead. A discussion about a service fee for those who will be using the automated bill pay service was brought up, but was tabled for the time being.

Karen Larson pointed out that the city offices do not have a credit card to use for purchasing supplies. A motion was passed to apply for a credit card through Bank of the West in the second quarter.

A motion was passed to raise the reconnect fees to $35 beginning on July 1st with a notification going out in the bills in June. Adding a disconnect fee was discussed, but the council decided not to do so at this time.

The city has been notified that Tri County Electric rates

Installing flags in the council room was discussed. The Legion will donate an American flag so the city will need to purchase a Minnesota state flag and two stands at a cost of approximately $200. A motion

was passed to approve the purchase.

Robert Mierau gave the Public Works Department report.

Nine trees were ordered through the tree program. After the power outage recently, everything is back in working order.

Meeting adjourned. The next meeting will be held June 12, 2013 at 7pm.

Magician to perform at Stand Still Parade Magician Kristoffer Olson will be dazzling the crowd with his magic at the Stand Still Parade in Whalan on Saturday, at 1pm, May 18th.

Kristoffer Olson has a mind that can fluidly switch between art and science. He can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under two minutes, and has been known to amaze onlookers by instantly memorizing large lists of items backward and forward.

His ability to be both creative and analytical has led to his success running a business in a creative field. This unique skillset is also likely why he began to learn and practice magic at the age of 5, relentlessly curious about learning new things and a natural performer.

Even before graduating from high school, Kristoffer made a name for himself in the world of magic, winning countless awards, including the International Brotherhood of Magicians’

Junior Stage Championship for his unique presentation at the age of 17! At the age of 20, he became one of the youngest members to be inducted into the Magic Circle of London, England, the most prestigious magic organization in the world.

Kristoffer has since graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Theater, and performed full-time for five years. In 2012, he completed an MBA in Marketing Management and Analytics from the University of Saint Thomas fulltime program.

Kristoffer was once featured in a documentary by The Learning Channel on life as a magician, and he also performed for Fox Network’s ‘Real TV.’ Kristoffer has traveled tens of thousands of miles performing in Las Vegas to Anchorage to London, though he primarily performs around the Midwest for corporate banquets and company events.

You may also find him on the field at a St. Paul Saints baseball game, where he acts as a sort of ‘human-mascot’ called The Nerd, entertaining the fans with his awkward dance moves, leading the crowd in ridiculous cheers, or hosting contests on the field between innings.

Part 2: Mabel-Canton senior class trip diaries Day 5

By Tylor Fairchild and Tyler Stortz On the fifth day of our trip, we woke up in Williamsburg.

That morning we walked around with Dave to see the Governor’s Palace. After we had the tour in the palace, we took some pictures outside in front of the Governor’s Palace. When we were done taking pictures, we walked around the Palace, and Dave told us about the flower gardens and the canal that was made by the slaves. After we got done walking through the palace, we were free to walk around the town ourselves. The first place we went to was the Gunsmith. There they made guns from scratch.

They heated up a flat iron piece, took a hammer and pounded the iron around a solid rod to form the barrel. When they were done with the barrel, they ran it through a bore to make the spiral groves inside the barrel.

When we got done there, we went to the Public Gaol “Jail.”

We learned that the Gaol had a separate living quarter for the owner to live in. Here they could hold people in a stall for a certain amount of time, and then they were released. From there we walked through a couple of buildings like the Goldsmith and the Printing Press. Once we were done walking through those buildings, we were told to go to the gift shop. They had a

lot of interesting things in the gift shops. Once everyone was done shopping, we loaded the bus and went to the William and Mary College for the buffet lunch.

At the college they had a bunch of different foods to choose from. After everyone was done eating at the William and Mary College, we loaded the bus and went to Shirley Plantation.

When we arrived at Shirley Plantation, there was a tour guide waiting for us. Our tour guide’s name was Julian. He showed us around the house and explained what the buildings outside were used for; one of the buildings now is a gift shop. Today there is still one of the family’s generations that lives there, and she is getting married soon. After the tour of the plantation, we got to play Bache ball on the lawn.

After the game of Bache ball, we loaded the bus and went to the hotel. We could swim for a bit, and then we had a pizza party. Once everyone was done with the pizza party, we had bed check, and the day was over.

Day 6

By Alyssa Spande and Alexa Guber On the sixth day of our trip, we left Fredericksburg in the morning and headed to the US Marine Museum. The museum was very unique because it was all organized into different wars.

Once we entered different areas,

DreamAcres’s Series opens with The Hebrew Lesson The Dreamery Rural Arts Initiative on DreamAcres Farm launches its summer Play! in the Barn performance series with “The Hebrew Lesson,” by Esther Ouray. This is the first in the series of three shows that will take place on DreamAcres during the summer months.

Tickets for all shows are $12, or pay what you can.

“The Hebrew Lesson” is a one-woman play, written and performed by Esther Ouray, with live music by composers and musicians Tim O’Keefe,

Maryam Yusefzadeh and Greg Herriges. Esther Ouray, a Minneapolis-based theater artist, traveled to Israel and Palestine in 2007 as part of a delegation investigating nonviolent movements in the region.

Esther’s father had passed away a year earlier, and she decided to bring his ashes with her. Her desire was to spread her father’s ashes from the top of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, as a tribute to him.

But as Esther traveled within Israel and the Palestinian Ter-

the temperature in the room would change to what it felt like during that war. After we made our way to the end of the museum, we all got to go to the gift shop, and most of our classmates got dog tags.

When we left the Marine Museum, we headed to the Us Naval Academy in Annapolis.

The tour guide took us around and showed us the dorms and all the classrooms that the students there were in. We were all very surprised when he told us all the strict rules they had to follow while being enrolled there.

After we got the tour, we got to eat lunch in the historical Naval Academy Dahlgren Hall.

Later that night, we finally got to DC. The first thing we did was go to our hotel and get settled in.

We got to go on a night-time tour in downtown D.C. to the capital, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson memorial, FDA memorial, Vietnam wall and Korean War Memorial. The most emotional memorial was probably the Vietnam Wall because we didn’t realized how many people actually got killed until we saw how long the wall really was.

Day 7

By Stephanie Hafner and Ashley Dahl At this time of the trip, it was a lot easier to get up early. We were all used to Dave’s antics on the bus. We started out the morning with “boots on the ritories, she became witness to the complex historical, political and social injustices of life there. When she finally ascended to the top of the Mount of Olives, while wrestling with what she knew to be true, the seed for “The Hebrew Lesson” was planted.

“The Hebrew Lesson” was originally presented as a part of a commission awarded to Esther Ouray by the Jerome Foundation. Despite brief public exposure, the play generated a strong response amongst its audiences and was the subject of discussion in articles in both the Star Tribune and American Jewish World newspapers. It has played in sold out houses at Dreamland Arts in St Paul in addition to other Twin Cities venues. On May 24, Play! in the Barn fans will be able to view this thought-provoking play in their own backyard!

DreamAcres offers woodfired pizza from 5-7pm on Friday nights, a meal option which will complement this first show. Two more shows are scheduled for this summer: July 5-Nauvoo, and Aug 24-The Other MR. Gandhi. See the website for more information, and don’t miss the Summer Solstice celebration on Saturday, June 21. More info on the website!

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County ground” on Capitol Hill. We asked many police officers if the President was in town; almost all said that they didn’t know. One of them said they thought he was in Boston. As we made our way around the Capitol building, the girls posed for a picture while holding hands around a witness tree. Also, some of the classmates did a demonstration of a slave trade; one of them got sold. We kept strolling our way around the Capitol listening to Dave talk about the different sections in the building. We headed to the back of the building and took a small class picture. After the picture we kept walking; we saw the outside of the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress. As we made our way back to front of the Capitol, our class took the famous panoramic picture next to the Ulysses S. Grant Monument with Dave’s twin Don; he’s pretty quick.

Once we got on the bus again, we headed to the Smithsonian. We got free time to wander through the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Institute of Air and Space Museums. They were both really amazing. After our free time ended, we got on the bus once more and went to the White House. We had to stand on the other side of the road because Pennsylvania Avenue was shut down, due to the recent bombing in Boston. We got a lot of great pictures and even endured a protest gathering for deaf rights

in America. Dave also finally got one police officer to tell us that the President was in town, after all. After that, we climbed on the bus and headed to Joe’s Souvenir’s Shop in downtown D.C. Our class probably became broke after this stop. We went back to the hotel for a couple hours to relax and clean up for a night of dining and dancing on the boat, The Spirit of Mount Vernon. Before leaving the hotel, some of the chaperones took a really long time to get ready, so we had to wait a bit longer. Before we got on the boat, it started to rain a little bit, but we all took cover before we got drenched. Our class was on Deck 2; we were with two other schools on that floor. The buffet on the boat was very good, a bit spicy, but that’s what you get for being in the South. After we ate, we danced like crazy monkeys. Dancing with our classmates and people from other schools was so much fun! To be honest, a few of us got a little wild. We had a great time dancing with Mark and Dave as well. After we were all tired out and got back to the dock, we drove back to the hotel; we listened to slow songs in silence, reminiscing about what all happened. We unloaded at the hotel, got into our rooms, and went to bed until the next morning.

Names and Bling for the Owlets

By Karla Bloem Houston, Minn. -- The three owlets hatched in March as part of the International Owl Center’s Great Horned Owl breeding project now have names as well as bands.

As a condition of the state and federal permits required for the project, the owlets needed bling: numbered yellow zip-tie bands issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The owlets were removed from their aviary and the bands were placed on the owlets’ ankles (girls on the right, boy on the left) last week.

The DNA gender testing of the owlets revealed the oldest to be a girl, the middle to be a boy, and the baby of the family was also a girl. A naming contest was held to solicit names for the

rapidly growing owlets, with a goal to have names that reflect gender as well as other individual traits.

Karla Bloem, the authority on Great Horned Owl vocalizations conducting the breeding project as part of her vocal research, selected the names for the owlets from over 100 sets of names submitted from around the country and globe.

The youngest owlet was named Patience, a name suggested by several since she always waits patiently to eat after the oldest owlets are fed. She also seems to have no ambition to leave the nest. The older two are already flying from perch to perch throughout the 1,000 square foot aviary, but Patience has yet to even venture out onto

a branch immediately next to the nest platform.

The middle owlet was named Patrick since he was hatched on St. Patrick’s Day. Although the middle child, he was the first to spread his wings and fly to other perches in the enclosure.

Pandora was selected as the name for the oldest owlet. She jumped off the nest platform to the floor when the owlets were removed for banding, and she can be bossy with her siblings. When Patrick was first starting to fly, he would land on the Astroturf-covered ramp to climb back up to the nest.

Pandora would sit at the top of the ramp and refuse to let him pass.

Once the young leave the nest, most online cams have to

Rhubarb Festival serves up tart entertainment On Saturday, June 1, 2013, the ninth annual Rhubarb Festival promises loads of fun and free entertainment for the whole family. Starting at 10am, running until 3pm in Lanesboro’s Sylvan Park, the festival celebrates the funniest vegetable in all of Minnesota with off-beat entertainment and generous helpings of humor.

The event’s signature attraction is a public tasting of the sweet and savory food and bev-

erages entered in the annual recipe contest. If you cook with rhubarb, you’re invited to enter your own favorite recipe.

See call for entries on the Rhubarb Festival website: http:// www.rhubarbfestival.org.

If you like to sample delicious, interesting or unexpected taste sensations, step into the tasting line and enjoy dozens of items made with rhubarb – from pies to pickles, savories to sweets, libations

to fruit leather. Vote for your favorites and help choose this year’s prizing-winning recipes.

If you’re inspired by others who cook with rhubarb, the Festival is the perfect place to pick up your own copy of the Rhubarb Festival cookbook “Everything Rhubarb,” a compendium of award-winning recipes and stories from a small town that celebrates Rhubarb.

Next, take a stroll around the park and join in even more rhubarb hoopla. Visit the Cock-ADoodle Zoo, where you’ll meet a real kangaroo, lemur, alligator and other exotic (possibly rhubarb-eating) creatures. Dress up and join the Rhubarb Fashion show – your entry is welcome!

Try your hand at some whacky Rhubarb Games, a Pie Making Contest, Minute-to-Win-It contest, or lead little ears to the Story Tree for read-aloud entertainment. The day’s lineup also features the Lanesboro Farmers Market, Rhub-Art for the kids, bake sales, a fun new crop of food and goods vendors, Rhubarb Rants, and largest rhubarb leaf and stalk contests. Top off your rhubarb experience with the 7:30pm Rhubarb Sisters in concert, “I Left My Heart in

Rhubarb Country.”

When you’re winded from the flurry, get your picnic blanket or lawn chairs from the car. Sit back, let the rhubarb digest as you listen to funloving musicians and tonguein-cheek entertainers from the area: opening ceremony

by KTTC-TV Morning News Team Jess Abrahamson and Ted Schmidt; blues by the notorious Rutabaga Brothers; original rhubarb harmonies by the Rhubarb Sisters; local musical favorites Walter Bradley, Steve Arnold and Tom Schramm; the famous flaming Rhubarb Jugglers, Zumba entertainment,

helicopter rides and more.

Make room for those rhubarb-tasting calories – arrive early and join the 9am Rhubarb 5k or 1-Mile Run. Registration information is on the festival website. Enjoy the grand rhubarb treatment: accordion serenade, ceremonial fanning with rhubarb leaves, a shot of rhubarb elixir and more. Then, freshen up (showers in Sylvan Park, camping, lodging and visitor resources at www.Lanesboro.com) and stay for the Festival, linger for the weekend or longer in a funloving community.

An Amazon/Ebay Alliance?

Online shopping is a revolution of our modern world. Webbased companies such as Amazon and Ebay dominate online sales of almost anything—electronics, books, collectibles, jewelry, office supplies. You name it, they’ll ship it! Of course, Amazon sells the majority of its merchandise through other merchants. But there’s an underlying issue that relates to online retailers like Amazon. Can you guess what it is? That’s right, sales tax.

In 1992 the Supreme Court case Quill Corporation vs. North Dakota ruled that retailers would not have to collect sales tax unless the merchant had physical presence within the state, meaning a

A Great Read!

store or office space. This ruling has stood until today. However, now this ruling is being challenged as the United States Congress is working to pass a law requiring that all online retailers pay state sales tax regardless of whether or not they are actually physically in the state.

For years this proposal has been looming as states have faced budget deficits, and now they want every revenue dollar they can get. Amazon, for years, has been on the frontline lobbying against the legislation. But how far are measures likely to progress? Well, this time the odds are looking pretty good. The Senate voted on Monday, May 6 with bipartisan support for the bill. What appeared to be smooth sailing in the Senate may end up hitting a road block in the Republicancontrolled House where many see the legislation through the lens of a tax increase.

As much as Amazon has protested in the past, the online

retail giant has fulfilled a pass-thebuck strategy to Ebay. Amazon is shying away from its lobbying days against a sales tax enforcement measure. But why, after so long, would they just give in? The answer: Amazon has supposedly expanded so much that it plans to open facilities within most states to accommodate customers with faster delivery times and other services. Therefore, they’d be forced to pay sales tax anyway.

This means that Amazon and Ebay, it seems, will never form the rumored alliance that has been swirling around.

So here’s the interesting part, how will this passed legislation impact the consumers? It’s pretty obvious, sales tax will now (theoretically) be strictly collected.

A did-you-know on this subject matter is that, if a state has a sale tax in effect but was not collected by a retailer, it is actually supposed to be paid by the end of the year through a consumer submission process. But let’s be honest, does the loophole radar indicate anything here?

In the coming months it will be interesting to observe how sales tax will be enhanced for online purchases. Could we be opening our pocket books a little more for taxes? That question now remains within the U.S. House of Representatives.

Fillmore Central student, Lane Armstrong, was presented the “Citizen Life Saving Award” by Sheriff David E. Mueller on Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Sheriff Rich Carmack nominated Lane for the award due to his actions on the night of September 27, 2012. He was a passenger in a rollover car accident where the vehicle landed on its top and started on fire. Lane pulled a passenger from the wreckage before the car burst into flames. The awards ceremony was held at the Olmsted County Government Center in Rochester, MN. Photo submitted
