Fishing lures for breast cancer By Jade Sexton jsexton@fillmorecountyjournal.com
In 2010, Melissa Holmberg of Preston found out she had breast cancer. After surgery and treatment, she is now cancer free. After going through her ordeal, Holmberg felt compelled to do something to help raise money for cancer research. Holmberg’s daughter Destiny had a boyfriend at the time that made fishing lures, and they came up the idea of making lures in honor of breast cancer. After some trials, the first one was made, and it was painted with pink nail polish. “We’ve been perfecting it for the last year, and we finally got them done,” said Holmberg.
“We are going to sell them as a fundraiser for Relay for Life.” The Relay for Life event will be held in Preston again this year, at the Fillmore County Fairgrounds. Holmberg belongs to a team called Treasured Chests, which has 16 members. On July 13, the teams in Fillmore County will gather in Preston for an all-night event to raise money for cancer research and help to find a cure. The pink fishing lures will be sold for $5 each. There will be a booth for them at the Relay for Life event, and they will also be sold at the Preston Trout Days celebration this coming weekend. Holmberg’s team is also selling quilts made
person from each team must be on the field walking at all times. The night starts at 5:00 p.m. and does not end until 5:00 a.m. with a special breakfast. There will be food and entertainment provided throughout the night. According to Holmberg, they have 100 special fishing lures to sell, but access to 3,000 more that can be painted. Her daughter’s friend from West Concord does Holmberg the painting for them, attended the Relay for and he and Destiny Life event last year and did a survivor walk, but was not on a put them together. team. This will be her first year The Relay for Life event has participating in the all-night drawn a big crowd every year, event. She explained that one and has been very successful my Holmberg and her family. “The lures cost $2.03 to make, so $2.97 of each one is going to Relay for Life,” said Holmberg.
at raising money for cancer research. To recognize people that have survived cancer, as well as people who have died from cancer, luminaries are lit up and line the walkway. “Last year the whole walk place was filled with them,” shared Holmberg. “They had to go into the parking lot to get more space.” The fishing lures are a unique way to make money for the fundraiser, and the pink ribbons have a special meaning to Holmberg and her family after surviving her illness. She is hoping to sell a lot of them to help raise money to find a cure so that people will no longer have to lose loved ones to cancer.
Tindalls of Lanesboro open new business venture By Mitchell WA lbridge mwalbridge@fillmorecountyjournal.com
Whether you are a local resident, seasonal tourist, or just someone who has passed through the quaint community of Lanesboro, it would be extremely difficult to say that you haven’t noticed the oldfashioned dining car on Parkway Avenue a few paces from the front entrance of the Cornucopia Art Center. Spud Boy Lunch, one of the newest dining establishments in Lanesboro located at 105 ¾ Parkway Avenue North, opened its doors for the first time on April 30. Now getting the business into a routine of their schedules, owners Gordon and Val Tindall have this new, unique dining car open seven days a week from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Gordon Tindall grew up in the eastern United States on a farm in New Jersey. It didn’t take him long though to become interested in the dining car business. Years ago in Decorah, Iowa, Tindall opened a diner and ran it for six years before selling it and moving to Pennsylvania to renovate another dining car similar to his first. Years later, a friend of Tindall’s had come across a dining car bound for demolition. It turns out that this is the one that Tindall has transformed into the Spud Boy Lunch located in Lanesboro. The Tindalls took possession of that particular dining car in February of 2007 and began the restoration process. In the four to five year period of working on the Spud Boy Lunch, Gordon has been doing manual

modification to the dining car in addition to searching for old fashioned appliances online, in antique shops, and restaurant supply stores. Gordon has missed the dining business since leaving Pennsylvania and is glad to have the opportunity to be open for six months of the year. During the winters he can focus on his artwork. However, the Tindalls aren’t the only people excited for the opening of their new business. Many townspeople and locals have been anticipating the grills to be fired up inside the historic dining car. Mary Stream, who moved to Rushford in May of 2009, said she took notice of the structure years ago and stated, “I’m very excited for the opening.” Since opening See LANESBORO Page 9

An apple a day will make you ‘turnover’ By Jason Sethre jsethre@fillmorecountyjournal.com I’ll never forget when I first walked into Preston Apple & Berry Farm and first met Joe Gosi -- the world famous “Pie Man.” I heard his accent and asked him where he was originally from. He said, “I am authentic Norwegian. That’s what I tell everybody.” I replied, “Oh, I was thinking Texas.” He may not remember that, but I do.
And, then he told me the truth. He is from Hungary. Even though he hasn’t lived in Hungary for many decades, his accent is still prevalent. Joe, along with his wife Carole, are business partners and life partners. Back in 2010, Joe celebrated his 75th birthday (he has another one coming up in June), the happy couple celebrated 45 years of marriage and the 25th anniversary of owning and operating the Pres-

ton Apple & Berry Farm. I remember when I mentioned to Joe one day that I was thinking about experiementing with an all apple diet for an entire week. He told me that in his younger years he ate apples all the time. As he worked throughout the day, he’d eat dozens and dozens. Well, apparently, apples are just like anything else. The doctor tells us to eat an apple a day for a reason -- only one! Joe said he started getting ulcers from eating too many apples all the time. Moderation is key, even with apples. So, I took Joe’s advice and put that apple diet on my bookshelf of vicarious experiences. Every town has a local watering hole, a place where people come and hang out to chat about the happenings of the community. The Preston Apple & Berry Farm is one of those places. Every time I stop by, I find a crowd sipping on coffee and talking about the weather. And, at the same time Joe and Carole are hosting local folks, they also draw a huge tourism crowd from all over the tri-state area. I don’t know how many times I have seen out-of-state plates in the parking lot. In essence, Preston Apple & Berry Farm is an outstanding
form of agri-tourism for the city of Preston. Yes, this apple farm is a tourist attraction. Most locals may not think of that way, because they just enjoy visiting with Joe, Carole and their friendly staff. As you are planning your weekday or weekend, I would suggest stopping by for a breakfast treat. I probably consume about five to 10 turnovers from Preston Apple & Berry Farm per month. And, these are not those little turnovers you might find at some fast food restaurant in Rochester. These are real, handmade turnovers big enough to cure any appetitie. Joe knows apples, and this one is a winner in my book. With a light, flaky wrap brushed with frosting, the apples ooze out of whichever corner you attack first. I have always been an apple fan, and I am not talking about computers. From my perspective, if we didn’t have our claim to fame with the Root River and our recognition as the “Trout Capital of Minnesota,” I’d suggest we aim for “Apple Capital of
Minnesota.” I know La Crescent has been bestowed this honor and I wouldn’t want to take anything away from them, but I’m sure Preston Apple & Berry Farm would give them a run for their money.

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 households each week.
C ommentary Headlines; workplace participation at thirty year low By Karen Reisner There is no simple answer as to why. You would think with the recent press coverage workforce participation suddenly fell off a cliff. Not so. The participation rate peaked out around the turn of the century. There has been a gradual d o w n w a r d Karen Reisner trend since then with a temporary leveling off between 2003 and 2007. This long-term trend is the real story. Those not counted in the workforce include “students, retired people, stay-at-home parents, people in prisons or similar institutions, people employed in a job or profession with unreportable income, as well as discouraged workers.” Obviously, some have become disillusioned and have simply given up and are not actively seeking employment. But, that is only part of the answer. It should be noted that the participation rate was regularly less than 60 percent for decades prior to 1970, probably largely due to oneincome households. The Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report on May 4 which pegs the participation rate at 63.6 percent, which is the lowest it has been since 1981. The unemployment rate of 8.1 percent includes those that are unemployed who are actively seeking work. The workforce includes members of the population sixteen years old and older. The labor participation rate saw a relatively steady increase since about 1963 with a few minor drops over the decades, which coincides with the increase of women in the workforce. Why the fairly steady decline starting more than a decade ago? First, we have an aging population resulting in an increased rate of retirements. Secondly, the participation of women in the workforce Editorial Cartoon
catapulted over several decades until it plateaued shortly after the turn of the century. The participation of women in the workforce has fallen off gradually since then. This may be in part due to a difficult job market and in part due to the realization that child care and other worker expenses offset the benefits of a twoincome household. Thirdly, some veterans and others looking toward a new career are in the process of being retrained. And lastly, the most troubling statistic is the greater number of young working-age men who are unemployed. Could this be related to inadequate or inappropriate training? Other Factors Affecting Employment A good percentage of lost jobs are lost government jobs at all levels of government. We have asked for more efficient government. Whether in business or in government, employees are a large expense. In business, manufacturing, and in government, many efficiencies are realized with improved technology requiring less people. Employment is a victim of success. Productivity has been very good. Five million fewer workers are producing the same goods and services. The need for certain jobs has been reduced or eliminated. Corporate profits are the highest they have been for decades, but this hasn’t translated into additional jobs. Are college graduates trained to do the jobs of today? Do young people have the work ethic? We have a work force which is not entirely consistent with available skilled jobs. We need to continually encourage education in the areas where there are shortages of people with the necessary training. There seems to be a need for targeted post high school training for specific jobs needing specific technical skills, which may be more appropriate than a college education for some professions. Retraining may be required multiple times in a
worker’s lifetime. Education is key to increasing income. Some businesses are unwilling to expand and increase hiring due to uncertainty. The uncertainty that Congress and legislatures have created by being unwilling to make tough decisions. Employers don’t have the information to determine how much that extra worker will cost or if increased production will produce an increase in profits. These uncertainties pile on and create slower growth. A long term plan needs to address the nation’s investment in the areas of education, infrastructure and basic research. There is general agreement that the tax code needs reform, but little agreement as to how it can be improved. Business Needs Predictability Congress has failed to address entitlement reform and tax reform. On April 23, a report estimated benefits to run out for Medicare in 2024, Social Security in 2035, and Disability in 2016. Reforms need to be made to these programs to make them sustainable over the long term. The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction or “super committee” created by the Budget Control Act of 2011 failed to agree on recommendations to deal with the nation’s fiscal imbalance. They were to come up with a bipartisan recommendation to reduce the deficit by $1.5 trillion over 10 years. This could have been done with a combination of revenue increases, tax reforms and the closing of loop holes, entitlement reform and cuts in defense spending. Since they failed, a trigger was set in motion which includes a $1.2 trillion automatic spending cut evenly split between domestic and defense spending. These mandated automatic cuts are to take place in January of 2013 if Congress fails to act prior to that. The Bush tax cuts are scheduled to expire at the end of the year unless Congress acts. Together, these two substantial hits could have
a dire effect on the current economy and Federal Reserve presidents have referred to the jolt both would have on the economy as a “fiscal cliff.” Most expect that Congress will be forced to come to some sort of bipartisan agreement after the elections in November to head off the spending cuts and tax increases. The delay of long term structural reforms on the part of Congress has added to economic stagnation. Politicians like to blame the other side of the aisle for the weak economy. Both sides are the problem. Compromise to develop a real long-term plan to deal with the deficit, entitlement programs, defense spending and tax reform is necessary. This will give business the tools and information to plan for expansions and/or increased hiring. They need to know what their expenses will be before they take on the risk of expanding. A long-term plan by Congress will likely be implemented gradually so as not to provide a detrimental fiscal shock to the economy. Healthcare is also up in the air. The Supreme Court ruling may or may not clear up this unknown. In any case, eighteen percent of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) goes to health care, which is the highest in the world. The election this fall, no matter which party is favored, will allow businesses to have more clarity as to what numbers to plug in their business plan. The production of a long-term plan, however imperfect, would be a positive for the economy. A further delay in the production of a long term plan will increase the likelihood of a train wreck in the not-so-distant future like that being experienced in parts of Europe today. Politicians are more concerned with getting their party’s nod for the next election and sticking it to the “enemy” than doing the job they were sent to do. The extreme polarization has made governing bodies unable to function. The two parties continue to offer us candidates that are on the outer fringe of their respective parties, therefore, unable or unwilling to find a middle ground. We are recovering from a severe financial crisis and a deep recession. The deeper the hole that we find ourselves, the longer and more difficult it is to claw ourselves out. Growth has been anemic, but there has been growth despite all the factors working against recovery. Unfortunately, events in the rest of the world also have an effect on our ability to recover. We need to elect people who are willing to tell us the truth. Soft pedaling the truth and an unwillingness to face tough realities will just help dig the hole deeper. Major decisions need to be made which will provide a path for our nation’s economy for years to come. This can not happen without a willingness to compromise and work together. After all, these decisions will have an effect on all of us for good or for bad. Perhaps the headline should read: Partisan paralysis stifles job growth and cripples economy.
Letter about Unified Trust Accounts bill To the Editor, I felt compelled to write this after contacting Senator Jeremy Miller and asking him not to support the “Unified Trust Accounts Bill.” Late on April 27, Senator Hann and Rep. Gottwalt convened a conference committee from last year known as House File 8 and inserted S.F.2313/H.F.2683 into the bill. On the floor every Republican (excluding one) in both chambers voted in favor, while every Democrat voted against it. Ultimately, Gov. Dayton vetoed the health care bill, which is only so-called because it would take federal money allotted by the Affordable Care Act For All and then mix it with private funds, thereby putting corporate insurance brokers in charge of it. In his letter back to me, Senator Miller said that he voted for the bill because he favors a health insurance plan for the poor that is designed not by the federal government but by Minnesotans for Minnesotans, and will suit individual needs and promote quality and efficiency. Since the Affordable Care Act itself is designed to be made available to Minnesotans who need help in buying down the cost of their income-based health insurance, then what justifies the support of a new bill that would take federal funds allotted by the ACA and place it under the control of corporate insurance brokers without effective oversight? A huge reason why we have such a broken health care system is because corporate HMO’s take our premium dollars while forcing more Minnesotans on higher deductibles, which squeezes families out of getting care. Senator Miller needs to stop his support for House File 8 and instead support a health care exchange process that is actually controlled by the people of Minnesota.

C ommentary One Moment Please...
A learned behavior... enabled By Jason Sethre Publisher of the Fillmore County Journal & Olmsted County Journal Cell phone: 507-251-5297 jsethre@fillmorecountyjournal.com There are many times in which I write commentary pieces that never get published. I write them for the most part to formulate my thoughts on particular subjects facing our communities, our region, our state and even at a national level. In recent months, I’ve written pieces on those involved in the Occupy Movement, the eminent domain issue relating to the expansion of the trail from Preston to Forestville, Jason Sethre and even how Rushford might best approach the situation with the library, community center, municipal liquor building and the need for a new school. But, either due to a lack of space, with the contribution of other writers taking precedent over my work, or simply because I don’t know if it is my place or the right time to make my opinions known -- my thoughts stay contained. And, probably for the best. When I have reservations, there is usually a good reason. I need to sit on my thoughts for a while, and let them marinate. This time, I have decided I need to
address a subject that can’t be sidelined; something that relates to all of us in some way. As with many of our readers, I have heard the news reports about recent teen suicides relating to bullying. Rachel Ehmke, a 13-year-old Kasson-Mantorville Middle School student committed suicide on April 28 as a result of continuous harassment from her peers. Then, this past Sunday, May 6, a 17-year-old young man named Jay ‘Corey’ Jones, who attended Century High School, also committed suicide as a result of bullying relating to his sexual orientation. To turn the other cheek and pretend that bullying is not prevalent in our schools, big and small, is the biggest mistake we could ever make. The end result can come with dire consequences, as we’ve seen in recent weeks. This subject has been a topic of conversation in homes, schools and workplaces for many of our readers. My only hope is that we don’t stop keeping our eye on this issue and do our best to prevent further suffering for the sake of our youth. Ultimately, the issue of bullying exists and has always existed for centuries. I remember experiencing it when I was a kid. Being the smallest kid in my class nearly every grade of my school age years made me an easy target for an ever-evolving pecking order no different than what would be best described in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies.
Boys could be cruel. But, as I have heard in conversations with many people, girls can be even worse. Boys typically get physical with punches. Girls seem to take a more psychologically damaging approach with name-calling, un-friending, and alienation. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” We’ve all heard that saying, I’m sure. And, that’s bogus. They both hurt. To demean others will ultimately break their spirit. Is that what we want? I think not. As I have read countless articles from media throughout our region along with navigating heartfelt commentary shared on Facebook, my heart sinks. As an adult, now more than 20 years removed from my high school teenage years, I can somewhat forget what it was like to be a teen. As adults, we all know that teenagers are going through some of those most critical transformations, and possibly life-defining moments during those years between the ages of 13 and 18. Yet, as adults, we forget how it felt to be a teenager. For the most part, I am guessing we have become socially adjusted, self-aware and content with our identity. Those impressionable teenage years establish a foundation for how we view the world. Teenage years are full of emotionally fragile moments that young people may not be mature enough to battle alone. This is where we as adults need to take a proactive role in preventing situ-
what’s worse is when it is enabled without accountability or expectations for change in that behavior. Again, we are the adults, and we need to be aware of how our children relate to other children. Are they respectful? Are they caring? Quite frankly, I don’t care if either of my children end up becoming the valedictorian of their respective graduating classes. Yes, education is important. But, what I do care about most is how they treat people. How we learn to treat others at a young age is probably the most important thing we learn for the rest of our lives. The entire bullying issue is on us... the adults in the room.
ations from getting to the point of no return. We are the adults, and we need to do a number of things, in my opinion. We need to lead by example. From a young age, our children are sponges and absorb everything we say and do. How do we treat others? How do we talk about others? Our children are little tape recorders. Even when you are standing in the kitchen and they are out in the living room, don’t assume they can’t hear you. Parents and all adults need to lead by example. And, the root of the problem will always stem from the bully doing the bullying. Bullying is a learned behavior. And,

Lanesboro City Council hears about the Chamber Strategic Plan By Jade Sexton Members of the Lanesboro Area Chamber of Commerce were at the City Council meeting on May 7 to discuss the Strategic Plan. Dave Huisenga said they had numerous meetings to come up with the plan, and they feel it’s a good one. He added that it should be considered a living document that will evolve over time as needed. The plan breaks down into seven goals for the Chamber. Julie Kiehne explained the first few goals. The first one is to enhance the value of Chamber membership by increasing chamber revenues. She said they would like to keep fees and membership dues as low as possible. They are also looking for grant writers and are planning fundraiser events. The second goal is to refine and implement tourism marketing strategies. Goal number three is to make Lanesboro more attractive to enhance the Lanesboro experience. The fourth goal is to define Lanesboro’s longterm role in relation with regional partners. Julie Charlebois spoke about the fifth goal, which is to develop a conference/retreat strategy. The sixth goal is to articulate and gain buy-in to the LACC strategic plan developing partnerships with stakeholders in the area. The last goal is to strengthen the downtown and community-wide business climate. Park Board Mayor Steve Rahn said Eric Bunge
would like to buy 15 of the park board’s old tables to use for Shakespeare in the Park. He will make a donation to the park to pay for them. There was also some discussion about getting an on-call cell phone, as there have been some concerns about not being able to reach people. Vickerman said they could post the number in certain places for people to be able to reach whoever is on call. Vickerman told the council that the non-profit organization KaBOOM! named Lanesboro one of 213 Playful City USA communities. She said this could help them get extra grants and apply for money to improve the large playground equipment at the park. They will also be applying on behalf of the school as they need upgrades as well. Ambulance Ambulance Director Dave Haugen spoke to the council about a policy for ambulance drivers. He asked for the drivers to receive $25 per call, and it was approved. Vickerman said they are looking for new members and they don’t want to lose the ones they have. Haugen also mentioned getting a new ambulance garage, as the one they are using is difficult to pull in and out of and they are causing damage to the ambulance. Terri Benson was approved as a new member of the ambulance crew.
Since she is an RN already, she only has to take the refresher course. Garbage Vickerman said Harters has taken over the garbage pickup in town and has been doing a great job. She believes the commercial businesses are getting good rates. She added that they are looking for local help for Mondays. Vickerman also mentioned that the trucks come through to get the recycling, take it to Preston, then come back to Lanesboro for the garbage and take it to La Crosse. Landscaping Bids A bid from Landscape Artisans of Rochester was accepted for the landscaping project. Vickerman said the project must be done and paid for by June 30. Landscape Artisans had a bid was the lowest at $40,999.99. Other Business The Rhubarb Run will be with the Rhubarb Fest on June 2. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. at the Bass Pond parking lot. The council approved a 50-cent increase in pay for Andy Drake since he took on extra duties as the Superintendent of Streets. Rock bids were accepted from both Orval Sorum and Sons and Bruening Rock. City Office hours were changed to 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to allow staff down time for working. They will be trying this schedule for 90 days to see how it goes.

Fillmore County Sports 10 games, 3 days By Paul Trende Three double-headers, a miraculous comeback, an extra-inning Schneid-ending win, two pitchers racking up ‘W’s’, five HR’s including a grand slam, with Chatfield’s ball teams at the front of it all; county-on-county crime! Finally! The week began with GMLOK baseball (0-11) searching for its first victory. Chatfield did them no favors. The Gophers jumped out 2-0, withstood a 1st & 2nd 1-out threat in the 6th, before scoring four in the 7th to win 6-0. Jake Neis led the way, going 4-5 (second straight game) and getting the win (6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K). Trenton Bliefus was 2-3 for GMLOK. The Bulldogs then trekked to Rushford for a double-header. Win #1 looked a lock in game #1. Behind Sam Eberle (4-4, 2B, 3 RBI, 3 R, SB/4 H, 1 R, thru 6 IP), the ‘Dogs led 7-1 heading to the last ½ inning. But a bean ball and three R-P singles ousted Eberle (score 7-2). A Zach Ansell 2-run 2B, an ‘E’, two ‘BB’s’, and a Riley Vitse RBI 1B later; the game was tied! With the bases load and no out, Shane Jacobson ended it, with of all things, a suicide-squeeze. R-P rallied to the 8-7 win. Vitse (3-4, RBI), Ansell (1-2, 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI), and Ethan Wilkemeyer (1-2, RBI, R) did damage for the Trojans, Isiah Bubany (2-4, 2 R, 2 SB), Bliefus (2-3, RBI, R), and Lucas Roe (1-4, 2 RBI) for GMLOK. In game two, the Bulldogs finally shot the monkey. It took until the last ½ of the 8th. With runners on 1st and 2nd, Roe hit a grounder to short. The throw to 1st was errant. Bliefus scored from 2nd, scoring the Bulldogs the 5-4 streak-ending victory. Bubany was 2-4 and got the ‘W’ (in relief). Wilkemeyer was 2-3 (2B, 2 R/CG loss). Cale Stensgard (R-P) drove in two, as did Eberle, who reached in all eight at bats in the two games. Prominent Pitchers The same night in Chatfield, FC/L’s ball teams dealt with the Gophers and ace pitchers Nate Skare and Katie Jech. At Molly Baum Field, Skare didn’t have his best stuff (5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K). FC/L’s pitchers didn’t either (10 BB’s, 3 HBP’s). Gopher Zach Eggers (2-3, 3 RBI, 3 R) shined. Chatfield downed FC/L 8-4. Skare moved to 6-1. Jake Ristau was 2-3 (2 R), Dan Gatzke 2-4 (2B, RBI), and Zach Olstad 1-3 (2 RBI) for
FC/L. A couple hundred yards away, Jech took the mound for game one of two. She shined (7 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 8 K, 0 BB), but got help from FC/L’s defense (four 1st inning errors, leading to four Gopher runs). That got Chatfield on its way to a 9-0 victory. Kirsten Keefe (2-4, 2 RBI, R), Sidney Irish (2-4, 2 R), and Sarah Costello (1-3, solo HR) led the way offensively. Jordan O’Connor (3-3, 2B) had half the Falcons’ hits. In game two, the Falcons led 1-0 after five; Chatfield had just one hit. With two away in the top of the 6th, MaKenzie Miller and Ashley Wolter singled. Then Tori Woltz hammered the first pitch she saw over the left-center fence for a 3-run HR. The Gophers added three runs in the 7th, runs needed. Alex Peterson hit a 2-run HR in the 7th for FC/L, for the 6-3 final. Every Gopher hit (8) and run (6) came with two outs. Irish (2-4, SB) and Miller (2-4, 2B, RBI) joined Woltz as difference makers. Jech, in relief, moved to 6-0. O’Connor and Peterson were each 2-4 for FC/L. Prominent Gophers The Gopher squads then faced R-P. In game one of a softball double-shot, the Trojans led 5-3 after five. Chatfield then scored nine in the final two innings to win 12-6. Jech moved to 7-0 (7 IP, 6 R, 8 H, 2 BB, 3 K/two RBI 2B’s). Three-hitter Wolter went 3-4 (5 RBI). Naturally, she drove in 1-2 hitters Irish (1-3, 2B, 3 R) and Miller (1-3, 3B, 3 R). Costello also had two hits (2 R); all nine Goph’s registered at least one. Brand (3-4, 3 RBI, R) and Mariah Mueller (2-2, 2B, 4 R) did damage for R-P. Game two’s climax came in the 6th inning. Woltz blasted a nodoubt HR to left of the grand slam variety. Chatfield won 12-2 in six. Eight of nine Gophers got a hit. Woltz (2-4, 4 RBI, R) and Candace Gould (2-3, RBI, R) had a pair; Irish, Miller, Keefe, and Costello scored twice. Winners of 7 straight, Chatfield (9-1, 10-2) tops the 3-Rivers South. L-A (9-1, 12-2) leads the North. For R-P (3-6, 4-8), Brand (RBI) and Kendra Crawford (SB) each were 1-2. Emily Culhane was 1-3 (2B, R), just missing a HR. In Chatfield, the baseball teams dueled. R-P got an early 2-1 lead, but it was all Gophers from there. Ten different Chatfield players registered a hit, Tyler Lund the most (3-3, 2B, 2 RBI), Skare the biggest (2-run HR in the 5th). Jason KapAssisted Living Apartments Available Now!

about two weeks ago, business for the Tindalls has been great, and they’ve been enjoying the experience. The menu of Spud Boy Lunch contains quite the list of classics focusing on breakfast and lunch meals. In addition to the homemade potato salad and coleslaw, Gordon has also earned bragging rights for his pies. For years he has been learning more and more about the art of pie making by frequently asking his customers about their pie recipes, all in the process of developing the perfected pie
recipe. Gordon Tindall noted that all of his diners have been known for having delicious pie. Gordon and Val are proud of their accomplishments with Spud Boy Lunch. One can tell this from a number of different ways. First, it’s easily noticeable that they’ve put considerable effort into their décor and into their food choices. And second, you can bet that Spud Boy Lunch will offer kind service, great food, and a great social experience. One can be confident that he or she will be satisfied after a meal at Spud Boy Lunch as the menu proclaims, “We take pride in what we serve. Everything’s pretty good here.”

Discrimination
By Samantha Stocker I have recently come to understand something new. I really didn’t see it before, or maybe I always knew it, and I just chose to ignore it. Maybe everyone does. A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to judge FCCLA STAR events in Minneapolis. These STAR events help students gain public speaking skills and can range Samantha in topic Stocker from saving money for college to first aid techniques to cyber bullying. I spent about three hours judging the events-a lot about cyber bullying. But there was one presentation that stood out from the rest. The sophomore student told me and the two other judges about racial discrimination. It was very well prepared and informative. When he had finished, we asked him if he had experienced discrimination in his school. “When I first started going there when I was in Boyum ~ Whitacre DeVries ~ Nehl elementary school, yeah, I did,” Emily DeVries of LeRoy, MN Britta Boyum and Nathan Whitacre he responded. “My classmates and Mike Nehl of Alta Vista, are pleased to announce their engage- would stare a lot and sometimes IA are happy to announce their ment and upcoming wedding. tease me.

come throughout the years, the same thing happens to them.” By the end of the night, I can confidently say it was one of my favorites. I also am confident that once you experience discrimination/ prejudices/racism personally, you become much more sensitive to it, even if it is not directed at you. Allow me to explain. I lived in Samsun, Turkey last year. In one sentence, I loved it. But there were challenges. For example, Turkey already has a fairly homogeneous population compared to the United States, and Samsun is not exactly what you would call an “international” city. In other words, Samsun is very similar to Fillmore County, just with slightly different demographics. While Fillmore county is 98 percent “white alone” according to the 2010 U.S. census information (mostly Scandinavian or German decent, I assume), Samsun is about the same, just Turkish. Most of those Turks were Muslim, just as many Fillmore County residents cite Christianity as their religion. I am a Fillmore County girl. I am not Turkish. And more often than not, people could tell just by looking. Sometimes my hair color would give me away. Sometimes it was the shade of my skin. English always proved I was a foreigner and, until the end of the year, my terrible American accent when I spoke

Turkish. The point is that the moment I was pegged “American,” people would claim to know something about me. Maybe it was that I was rich, only ate fast food, supported the wars in the Middle East and President Obama’s every idea, or was fat-which always confused me since they were looking right at me. In short, these are insignificant assumptions. But they were wrong. Assuming things about Americans based on Hollywood films could lead to serious misunderstandings. I know my life isn’t like the celebrities’ who are recognized across the world. Is yours? If you are upset by these assumptions, that is good. It doesn’t feel good. But the important question is, do you do the same? Have you ever called someone smart “because they are Asian” or made an offhand comment about Mexicans and drugs? Or what about having to call the cops because your house “was being attacked by fifty Muslims”? If so, there is something you should know. Not all Asians are smart. Not all Mexicans are involved in the drug trade. And certainly not all Muslims are terrorists. Take time to think before you speak. Ask yourself if you would want someone to make the same assumption about you. As the sophomore said during the STAR events, “We are all one race. The differences are not worth the trouble we make.” Samantha Stocker is a student at Lanesboro High School.

Big versus small By Karen Reisner Commissioner Chuck Amunrud reported on a meeting that took place on May 7 involving commissioners and social service staff from the twelve southeast Minnesota counties considering the formation of a Service Delivery Authority (SDA). The discussion at the county board’s May 8 meeting ended with the question from County Coordinator Karen Brown, “Is bigger better?” Chairman Tom Kaase was unable to attend the meeting, but participated by phone. The consulting company Accenture has been working with the counties to work out the details for a possible twelve county SDA. Amunrud said they wanted to have a consensus by the end of the twelve county meeting as to what option would work best as a funding model. They decided on
option two which is based on historical spending, tax capacity and population. Decisions about how the SDA could be funded to fairly spread the fiscal rewards and how it could be governed have been difficult obstacles. Possibilities of how to govern the SDA are complicated by the large differences between the counties. For example, Olmsted County’s size would be about 47 percent of the whole, where Fillmore County would be at 2.6 percent. Amunrud said they are looking at a governing board with a commissioner from each county with weighted votes for the larger counties. Because Olmsted County would have nearly half on a weighted vote, it may take a super majority for some decisions and possibly even a unanimous vote on rare occasions. Brown said a county would be
The Working Mom By Tammy Danielson Happy Mother’s Day (yesterday)! Well, the dishes are done, laundry is still going, bills are paid, cleaned the stove, and it is now time at 11:00 p.m. to write my article and think of how I can dedicate this article to my mom and all of the great moms out there. I assume some of the moms reading this article right now might be tuckered after a long day but still trying to squeeze in a few more household chores
before going to bed. To all of you, I raise my hand for a big high five…you are awesome! You are inspiring, strong and giving mothers… and probably the organizing queen that keeps the family schedule chugging along. I am sure that your list of Super Mom characteristics could fill the universe. So, as I worked in my office today, the inspiration for this article was glaring at me from the bulletin board.

required to stay in the SDA for at least five years. A second level would be the executive committee which would be comprised of seven commissioners, the executive director and finance officer. There would be advisory boards made up of staff, department heads and concerned citizens which would report to the executive committee. Brown noted that Fillmore County’s numbers for the administration of social services look good under the current performance standards, even better than Olmsted. She then asked, “Is bigger better?” Commissioner Duane Bakke said we are going to have to do something. He added that since late 2008 counties all over the state have been working on something better than then Governor Tim Pawlenty’s proposal for consolidation of county human services into 15 regional centers. Bakke said we won’t get any help if we try to do something different than the 12 county plan, adding
there is a big difference between some of the counties. Amunrud said the steering committee wants each of the 12 counties to vote, so they can get an idea which counties may opt out. With fewer counties funding and governance models would be different. Photo ID for voting •Auditor/Treasurer Shirl Boelter discussed one of two proposed constitutional amendments that will be on the ballot in November. Voters will vote yes or no on the following: “Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to require all voters to present valid photo identification to vote and to require the state to provide free identification to eligible voters, effective July 1, 2013?” •Boelter made it clear she was not advocating either way on the issue, but felt voters should be informed. Bakke questioned whether it was her job to inform voters, saying she shouldn’t have to stick her neck out. Boelter said it wasn’t her intention
to try and help a voter make a decision. •Bakke noted the rules will not be put into place until the next legislative session. Commissioner Randy Dahl asked how you can vote on a constitutional amendment when the rules are to be developed later. Amunrud said our concern is the cost to the county. Additional costs could include costs for special election training, extra judge on election day, printing of special provisional ballots and envelopes, special locked ballot box, business hours for town clerk, an so on. As many as 25 percent of voters in house district 31b and senate district 31 do not have valid or current ID. According to the proposed amendment, voters who can’t present a “government-issued photographic identification must be permitted to submit a provisional ballot.” This ballot will only be counted if certified by the voter in a manner provided by law.
Written in pencil with some of the wrong letters capitalized and some of them misspelled, was a worn piece of paper written by my son when he was eight-years-old that listed the “Top Ten Reasons I Love My Mom.” When he brought that list home, I remember asking if he thought of all of those reasons by himself. He shared that the teacher wrote ideas on the board but he thought of ONE of the reasons all by himself. That reason turned out to my favorite …”She is Kickin’ Fun!” it said. 1) Makes me wonder if my new teenager would have written the same list? 2) Makes me hope that his list will always be as long as the one from third grade and 3) Makes me pray that he will always HAVE a list. The job of parenting gets so crazy at times with always trying to teach children what is right and wrong and to have strong values that we have to remember their minds are creating memory lists each day. Is my mom fun? Does she ask and value my opinion? Can I talk to my mom? It has been so difficult over the years to extract any school information from
my son so I instead started asking him, “What was the funniest thing that happened today?” I love that he will now come home and want to tell me something funny from school before I even ask, which then morphs into the schoolwork and grades conversation or “boring stuff” as he says. Many of my favorite memories are of sitting with my mom at our kitchen table and filling her in on my day at school and, after moving out of the house, returning home for the weekend and having those same talks—of course those conversations after
age 21 were a bit juicier (ha!). So Happy Mother’s Day to all of you great moms out there… I hope your Top Reasons list is very long for many years to come.

Chimney swift kiosk in Preston By Karen Reisner Greg Munson, Rochester, explained project plans for a Chimney Swift Kiosk to the Preston City Council at their May 7 meeting. Munson said he has been involved with the Swifts in the area for about 12 years. The birds are in the area for a few months in the summer. Mayor Kurt Reicks was absent. Munson said the Swifts have been coming to this site for about one hundred years. Audubon Swift Counts completed in 2011 have determined that the count of nearly 1100 entering the chimney of the former Preston Elementary School makes it the number one site in the state. The count was made August 30, 2011.
The chimney on what is now Trailhead Suites no longer functions as a chimney. The chimney, which had been damaged with a lightening strike, has been restored recently by the Minnesota DNR Non-Game Wildlife Division. Munson asked for the council’s permission to construct a tower/kiosk near the restrooms of the Trailhead Inn. The tower is to be 16 foot high and have a 4 foot by 4 foot base. It could provide a nesting site for one pair of Chimney Swifts, and educational information for visitors to the Trailhead site. Munson said additional funds for the project have been raised, including $1,000 from the Preston Foun-
dation, $300 from Minnesota Audubon, and $2,000 from the Corson family. The kiosk may also highlight information on the Cliff Swallows that nest under the bridge. Munson said both birds help control mosquitoes and other flying insects. He hopes that a web cam can be placed in both chimneys. The council gave its approval contingent on an agreement being drafted between all parties involved. Other Business In Brief •City Administrator Joe Hoffman detailed plans for the purchase of the Versterheim apartment complex in Preston by the Bluff Country Minnesota MultiCounty Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). The HRA is trying to get Small Cities Grant Funds between $100,000
The FCJ reaches over 12,000 households each week. and $200,000 to assist with the purchase. The city of Preston would need to act as the official applicant. There would be no cost to the city and the city would not be the owner. The property is privately owned currently. Hoffman said it is a “win-win” all the way around. The HRA would manage and take care of the property going forward. The council by consensus supported the application, but tabled the resolution making Preston the applicant and legal sponsor until the next meeting when they could get more information from the HRA. •Approval was given to purchase two X26 model TASER’s for the Police Department at the cost of about $2,500. •The hire of Jill Neuzil was
approved as recommended by the Tourism Board. She will be the Saturday worker at the Tourism Center. •The Trout Days committee will donate $300, or about half of the cost toward the purchase of t-shirts for the 7th and 8th graders who will be joining the Fillmore Central marching band in the Preston Trout Days Parade.

History needed of Rushford The Rushford-Peterson Independent School District received a grant from Minnesota Historical & Cultural Grants. The purpose of this grant is to evaluate its current school site, the historical Rushford elementary/high school building for its eligibility of placement onto the National Register of Historic Places. The school’s construction history dates from 1906 through 1970. Within those decades, three sections were added to the original 1906 building. Each section represents a significant phase in the schools’ history. The school district wishes to explore the historic significance of the building, studying the building’s role in the educational system of the community, how it has been used for other community activities, and how it exemplified national trends in educational development. The outcome of the project will draw conclusive results as to the significance of the Rushford School Complex, judged against specified criteria needed to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Secondly, the research performed will serve to document the educational systems of Rushford and Rushford-Peterson, how the building has been used for other community activities, and how the complex exemplified national trends in educational development. It is expected that the research
will also gather information related to the continuous service the building has given to the community, including hosting political events, social events, humanitarian efforts, and city gatherings. The activities that occurred in the buildings or their influence on the community may help justify the significance of the building and its inclusion to the National Register of Historical Places. The Designation Committee for Rushford Historical School Building is searching for information about the importance of the school building in the Rushford Community prior to consolidation with Peterson. Anyone who may have access to or have put together scrapbooks of the History of Rushford is asked to share that information with the committee. The Designation Committee for Rushford Historical School Building members are: Jack O’Donnell, Herb Highum, Maynard LaFluer, Maynard Rustad, Anne Spartz, Chuck Ehler and Tammy Lindberg (Historical Grant Consultant). Please contact one of the committee members if you are willing to share information in regard to the history of Rushford (School) and the Rushford Area. You are also encouraged to contact Jana at the Rushford-Peterson Elementary at 864 – 7787 for more information.

State’s, nation’s largest seat belt enforcement effort rolls into Fillmore County Fillmore County — Better be buckled up, because it’s Click It or Ticket time, May 21–June 7. In Minnesota, about 400 law enforcement agencies will partner with 10,000 agencies nationwide to work overtime patrols to increase seat belt compliance in an effort to stop preventable deaths and injuries. More than 400 unbelted motorists were killed in the last three years in Minnesota, representing 43 percent of the total motorist deaths. Primary Seat Belt Law — Saving Lives The Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office along with the Preston and Chatfield Police Departments will enforce the state’s primary seat belt law during the campaign, which is saving lives, according to a University of Minnesota study released in March. The study reported the law has resulted in 68 fewer deaths, 320 fewer injuries and $45 million in avoided hospital charges since enacted three years ago (June 2009). The primary law requires passengers in all seating positions, including the back seat, to be buckled up or seated in the correct child restraint. Officers will stop and ticket unbelted drivers or passengers. Seat belts must be worn correctly — low and snug across the hips; shoulder straps should never be tucked under an arm or behind the back.
“This law demonstrates how important it is to be belted in every seat, every ride,” says Sheriff Daryl Jensen. “Those who don’t belt up face a range of negative consequences — ranging from a ticket to being ejected from the vehicle.” Why Buckle Up In rollover crashes, unbelted motorists are usually ejected from the vehicle. In most cases, the vehicle will roll over them. Often, unbelted motorists will crack teeth out on steering wheels or break their nose, and even slam into and injure or kill others in the vehicle. Properly wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger occupants by 45 percent in a car and 60 percent in a light truck. Seat belts are the most effective means of protecting oneself from injury while riding in a vehicle. In a crash, odds are six-times greater for injury if a motorist is not buckled up. Child Passenger Safety The enforcement campaign will include enforcement of Minnesota’s child passenger safety law which requires children to use a booster seat starting after they have outgrown a forward-facing harnessed restraint (typically age 4 and 40–60 pounds, depending on seat’s weight limitations). Children should remain in a booster until they are age 8 or 4 feet 9 inches
tall — whichever comes first. DPS recommends keeping children in boosters based on their height rather than age. Boosters help adult seat belts fit children correctly. Promoting the Message The Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office stresses the importance to promote the seat belt enforcement to encourage belt use. “This campaign is not about writing tickets, it’s about demonstrating that we take this law seriously because many times we’ve responded to an unbelted fatality crash,” says Sheriff Daryl Jensen. “We want motorists to be aware we are out there and encourage them to be the first enforcers by speaking up to remind other passengers to get belted.” The enforcement will be accompanied by a paid media push, featuring a new, dramatic TV spot. The Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement and education is a component of the state’s Toward Zero Death (TZD) initiative. A primary vision of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes — education, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response.

Recycling 101 LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator The use of plastics seems to be increasing each year. Plastic is convenient and durable. Millions of soft drinks, juices, and other liquid refreshments, including water, are purchased each day. Plastic bottles rarely break if dropped and, of course, most of them have caps that keep the contents from spilling if accidently tipped. As we drive through the countryside, we see thousands of large, round bales covered by plastic that shields the hay from the elements. These same bales are held together by yards of plastic twine. If you have purchased items such as yogurt, cottage cheese,
Monday, May 14, 2012
sour cream, or margarine recently, the containers were most likely made of plastic. Medicines, vitamins, microwavable meals, as well as flowers and vegetables for your garden make use of plastic containers. Then, of course, thousands of shoppers leave the stores and shopping centers with a countless number of plastic shopping bags. In recent months, I have received numerous e-mails and telephone calls concerning what plastics can and cannot be recycycled in Fillmore County. Even though we have gone to single stream recycling, the recyclable plastics have remained the same. On the bottom of plastic containers you will find the “chasing arrows,” a common name for the recycling symbol. Inside that symbol is a number.
Fillmore County Court Report On April 30, 2012, Alfredo Trevino, 18 of Rochester, appeared before Judge Robert Benson at the Fillmore County Courthouse for sentencing. Trevino was convicted of Burglary in the 3rd degree. He was sentenced to 18 months in the MN Correctional Facility in St. Cloud, which was stayed for five years. He must serve 90 days in the Fillmore County Jail on work release and pay $2,290 in fees and fines. Also appearing before Judge Benson on April 30 was Jamie Edward Peck, 32 of Fountain. Peck was convicted of two counts of DWI, driving while intoxicated with a blood alcohol concentration of above .08. He was sentenced to the MN Correctional Facility in St. Cloud for 42
months, which was stayed for seven years. He must spend 180 days at the Fillmore County Jail, with credit for 132 days already served. He will also be on supervised probation for seven years and must pay $1,220 in fines and fees. Tyler Edwin Stork, 28 of Harmony, also appeared before Judge Benson for sentencing. He was convicted of two counts of theft and two counts of receiving stolen property. He received 60 days in the Fillmore County Jail with credit for four days served. He also received supervised probation for 20 years, and after successful completion will have charges dropped to a misdemeanor. He must pay $3,240 in fines and fees.
If that number is “1” or “2”, the container is recyclable in our county. If the number is any other number, the container is not a Fillmore County recyclable. We use thousands of yogurt, margarine, cottage cheese, and whipped topping containers every week. Approximately 99 percent of these are number “5” and are not recyclable here. I have been told that different plastics melt at different temperatures. The fives melt differently than the ones and twos, and become semi-melted gooey globs floating among thousands of gallons of melted plastic, like lumpy gravy. It is difficult, if not impossible, to separate the good from the bad and the entire vat can easily become contaminated and unuseable. Most plastic bottles and jugs

can be recycled, but their caps are not. Plastic toys are not recyclable. Flower pots are not recyclable, but can sometimes be taken back to the greenhouse. The amber bottles from perscription medicines are not recyclable here in Fillmore County, but are collected by several churches in the county and then sent to be reused in remote villages throughout the world. The “clam” containers that hold grape tomatoes and such are recyclable, as are mustard bottles, even though they are yellow. You can’t go by the way plastic looks, it’s the one or two on the bottom of the container that counts. The plastic that covers the chopped hay and bales is not recyclable, and neither is the twine that holds the bale together. It seems as if there is a lot of
plastic that is not recyclable, but there is a lot more that is. Take all those grocery bags back to a store that recycles them, or better yet, get some cloth or canvas bags. They are much stronger, last a lot longer, and seldom end up in a ditch, stream, or tree. Recycling plastic is not as easy as recycling steel cans and glass, but with a little practice, it becomes much less stressful. If you would like me to visit with your group or organization concerning recycling, or if you have a question about recycling in Fillmore County, please e-mail me at lpaulson@co.fillmore. mn.us<mailto:lpaulson@ co.fillmore.mn.us> Thanks to you, we have made some good improvements in recycling in Fillmore County in the past few years. With your help, we can certainly do even better.
Harmony to have boulevard tree program again
By Jade Sexton Rod Johnson was at the Harmony City Council meeting May 8 on behalf of the Conservation Club. They will be sponsoring a special event in Harmony on July 3 instead of having the usual beer tent for the celebration. The band Gemini will be having a concert at the Fire Hall that night, and the Conservation Club will be selling beer. Johnson said the event will run from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., and there will be no beer sales past midnight. They will not have a beer tent on the 4th, but will be hosting a pancake breakfast that morning. The council approved the temporary liquor license for the event, as well as the noise permit. Council member Gerald Shuck voiced some concerns about parking on Highway 139, and suggested they touch base with the state to make sure it’s fine.

50 percent of the cost if a person wanted a tree planted in their boulevard. Illg said they also covered 25 percent of the cost if the tree was in their yard. Illg added that they usually have money in the Park Board budget to cover things like this. The council agreed to do the program again, but only cover the 50 percent of boulevard trees. Boulevard trees must be from 12 feet to 25 feet away from the curb. If a person wants a tree planted elsewhere, the city will order and deliver it but
they must pay full price for the tree. Illg is going to call greenhouses to get prices and lists of good trees to use.

Thanks to my co-workers at POET for all they did in my absence. Thanks to everyone for the many cards, phone calls, prayers, food and visits. Each act of kindness touched my heart in many ways you’ll never know. It is so wonderful to live in a community with so many friends. I am truly blessed and very thankful.

Thank You
We are so thankful for all the donations, help, community support and all the fundraising efforts that have taken place since the JEM announced the need to raise funds for a digital projector one year ago. It is so hard to put into words how thankful we are for everyone’s support, in so many ways. Last year when the decision was made to make our dilemma public, it was a difficult decision to ask for the community’s help. We never wanted to ask for support, but we knew the public deserved to know why the JEM might have to go out of business. The theatre itself was fine, but the mandatory change in the movie delivery format was not a price the JEM could afford. When this news got out, so many people stepped up to offer their help and expertise. We really appreciated this. Paul and I were so excited going into 2012 and reaching our fundraising goal. Losing Paul in January was very tragic for our family, and I know for so many in the community as well. I personally am overwhelmed with the kindness, continued donations, help, and support by many. Over $40,000 was donated to the JEM digital fund! This is amazing! I have paid of the loans that required payments. The JEM is no longer in need to raise funds for this cause. Thank you to everyone! Without all that you have done, the JEM would not have the opportunity to keep its doors open to show new movies to so many people and families. Thank you all for being “Friends of the JEM”!
