Seed First, LLC to bring ag business Make your own movie at JEM Theatre’s Movie Camp back to downtown Fountain By Barb Jeffers

Lights! Camera! Action! It may not be Hollywood but the JEM Theatre in Harmony, Minn., is offering a Movie Camp for those intrigued with the opportunity to someday reach Hollywood and see themselves or their names on the big screen whether they are interested in creating films or acting in movies. “For anyone who has any desire at all for broadcasting, filmmaking, acting — any of the arts — this is a great learning opportunity and there is nothing like it around here,” states Amber Coaty, who owns the JEM Theatre along with her hus-
band, Dana. The JEM Theatre Movie Camp will be held July 9-19, 2018. The Movie Camp is available to those from grades seven through college but children younger than seventh grade can still get involved by being actors. This is the first year that the JEM Theatre has hosted the Movie Camp and “if it goes well hopefully we can have more,” states Coaty. The first three days of the Movie Camp will be held at the JEM, and also on location, from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Movie producer and teacher Mr. Nicholas Ritz of Burnsville, Minn., will be giving instruction and hands-on trainSee MOVIE CAMP Page 11

Come late summer, downtown Fountain will have a new store adorning it’s Main Street. Father
and son, Paul and Corey Hamann have plans for a new home for their agricultural business, formerly Hamann Seed, and the two are thinking outside the box on how it’s going to happen.
On May 7, Kingsland School Board held a monthly work session meeting in the elementary conference room. All board members were present (Doug Plaehn, Ann Oeltjen, Leah Stier, Jackie Horsman, Tiffany Mundfrom, Heather Betts, and Superintendent James Hecimovich). One item discussed at length was whether or not to raise school lunch prices. It was noted that there currently is no uniform plan for replacing Kingsland’s aging kitchen appliances. Doug Plaehn shared his opinion that many of the appliances are getting old, and will obviously need to be replaced in the next few years, so he asked, “Why wait til it’s busted and you have to panic?” Plaehn suggested raising the lunch prices by ten
cents now, to start building up a reserve for when major purchases are needed. Jackie Horsman disagreed, saying she can’t justify any increase without an immediate need. No action was taken at this time, but John Dols will work on creating an equipment replacement gameplan. Students Hannah Peshel and Kaycie Bellrichard invited the board, and the public, to attend the upcoming Decades event that is put on annually by the sophomore class. They explained the event will be May 17, open from 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and from 6:30-8:30 p.m. There will be displays highlighting noteworthy events, fads and famous people from each decade from the 1910s through the 1990s.

ers were notified the site would be undergoing an overhaul and business would be conducted out of the Peterson site until further notice. Paul Hamann is a lifelong resident of the Fountain area, farming just off County 8, where he raises crops and both Red Angus and Limousin cattle. In 1999, he added his Dekalb Seed dealership as an alternative revenue stream for his farm. Corey is a University of Minnesota graduate, with a degree focused on ag industries and marketing. He spent the last five years working as a district sales manager for Monsanto, before moving back to the area eight months ago. The two have discussed modifying the business into a locally licensed agriculture company for sometime, but recent industry changes served as the major catalyst for the change. “There are technology changes that are coming that need to evolve in a bigger location; a more commercial location,” says Paul. “It’s time for that transition.” “Financially, it makes more sense to expand to a commercial operation, rather than on the farm,” says Corey. “To start over rather than retrofit.” “With that type of infrastructure, there’s more value having it in town,” adds Paul. “We knew it was the right time.” The idea for the site is to reclaim a sort of frontage appeal, butting the building site up to the sidewalk area, with a landscaped front, as opposed to how it formerly
sat with a large gravel lot along the prime downtown area. “We want it to be storefront, like it fits here. We hope to create flow,” says Paul. “We spent many, many hours reclaiming lumber that we intend to use inside of the offices, piecing back some of the old.” The two also hope to give the offices a somewhat rustic industrial look, doing some of the metalwork themselves. The office spaces will be divided with Seed First, LLC, a seed dealership and consultancy operation, on one side and Chuck’s Feed & Grain leasing the other side, resuming their animal feed business in the city. Additionally, the two hope to be able to explore and later add availability of other farm-related products. “We want to serve farmers individually,” adds Paul. “Using technology and resource allocation to put resources where they can best be utilized.” Providing a wide array of agronomy services, encompassing all growing season, the two hope to increase availability of options to local farmers through the addition of grass seeds, small grains, and with an emphasis on expanding cover crops in farming operations. “It’s used lightly right now, but with some of the Department of Agriculture regulations, we can help farmers to increase efficiencies and their bottom line, while also increasing soil and water health to better steward the land,” says Corey. With better practices, conservation, and results, the business will
help farmers adjust their programs. “We want to be on the forefront of technology,” adds Corey. It’s difficult to say when the technological industry changes, some eventually mandatory, will be coming, but they estimate it may be in the next few years. One method for helping farmers collect that data may be through the use of drones. Corey recently purchased one and is intending to utilize mapping to help reduce fertilizer applications, conduct population counts, identify and plan for weed and disease problems, and even assist with insurance claim needs. “At the very least, it’ll help with crop evaluation.” The former buildings at the site were demolished in early March. With all permitting in place, the next steps for the project will be to bring the lot to grade and address waterflow at the site. From there, they’ll be working with Stateline Insulated Concrete to pour footings and frost walls. Once materials and crew from Fountain Building Center are in place and available, it’s estimated it will only take a matter of weeks to construct the new building. In the meantime, Corey is working hard on developing the company logo, Facebook page, and website. A grand opening and customer gathering will be held at the conclusion of the project, but no official date has been set. “We’re a small, independent business,” adds Paul. “We want to serve our customers with personal, individual service.”

C ommentary The process of selectivity By Donna Buckbee Rushford, MN First of all, I wish to thank Pastor Bobbie Horning for taking a stand against violence against gays and lesbians. I’m grateful, too, for similar assurances from my Christian friends. Non-violence is one of the many things I respect and love about the Biblical Jesus. There were other Biblical teachings embedded in Donna Buckbee my letter of December 2017, which, if you cared to see it, showed my respect for: Jesus’ concern for the poor, Biblical admonishments to be stewards of the Earth, and God’s rage in the Book of Revelation over “wicked angels� poisoning the water and the land. “I will destroy those who destroy the Earth,� is the prophecy. I think we, with our addiction to fossil fuels, are the wicked angels but that’s for another letter. My letter from early December was not written in a vacuum but rather was a response to someone else’s letter two weeks prior, in which the writer stated his belief in Bible literalism — that every single word in the Bible is the inerrant word of God. I would not have responded to that but then he selected one Biblically proscribed behavior — not greed, not murder, not lies, not poisoning the water and land. No, he singled out homosexuality. When someone mentions Bible literalism and homosexuality in the same breath, that is a red flag, especially in a time of increased hate crimes toward the gay community. Surely, I thought, someone like a Pastor Bobbie would repudiate any implied call to violence. When Editorial Cartoon
that didn’t happen, only then did I write about how everyone engages — even literalists — in the process of Biblical selectivity — what to believe, prioritize, respect, ignore and disregard. Christians have been criticizing and disagreeing with each other over this selectivity process for nearly 2,000 years. If this were not true then how to explain all the various denominations? And, over the centuries, Christians have gone beyond mere criticism of each other and done some actual — not metaphorical — bashing. If this were not true then how to explain the Inquisition, the wars and the burning of women? I think I have more love in my heart for members of the various denominations than a lot of Christians seem to have. There are things I love and respect about Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Amish, Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists. I am especially grateful for the excellent teachers in my Baptist upbringing. And while I disagree with many of the things Pope Francis says, I love this Pope for his compassion and especially for his papal encyclical on protecting the environment. I recommend everyone read it. What I continue to disrespect are the glaring omissions from the Ten Commandments of any condemnation of slavery or wifebeating. This selectivity can only have been inspired by men, not by any God I worship. And, Pastor, the Biblical passages you include about slavery are thin gruel. There is stronger language barring women from the pulpit. “It is a shame for women to speak in the Church.� I heartily disagree with that too. There are a number of women pastors in the area who know — because I have told them — how much I respect and honor them.
The faith of the atheist faithful By Stan Gudmundson Peterson, MN Why do certain atheists continually proselytize their faith? One would think that they would be more timid about expounding on their beliefs and would be cautious in insisting that there is no Creator, no God. Some seem really Col. Stan angry and Gudmundson full of hate for God and his followers. Why do atheists use their faith to try destroy mine? With their contempt and vitriol, what are they trying to accomplish? Theirs is a faith without hope. So what is the motive in pushing it? Who gave them this mission? It requires an incredible arrogance and hubris to constantly tell us that they don’t believe in God. And that we who do are veritable idiots. No God they say? They might erroneously conclude that based on “superior� intellect, on a lifelong study of the subject, and a certainty that they have the truth. They have convinced themselves that they are smart enough (they aren’t) and know enough (they don’t) to conclude that they have the absolute truth based on logic, study, and brains alone. Wrong, dear atheist proselytizer, you can’t. You must conclude that there is no God based totally on an act of faith. It is impossible not to. We have very short lifespans. We all have comparatively small brains and cannot “know� everything. Our limits do not give us the ability or opportunity to conclude that God does or does not exist. Unless we commit to an act of faith. Atheists commit
to one kind and I, to another. Sorry Bubba, but you can’t have it any other way. There are so many unknowns. I am fascinated by the theories describing the birth of our universe. The Big Bang for one but it’s not the Big Bang that interests me. What interests me is what existed before the Big Bang and how it got there. There is no answer. That attests to the limits of our knowledge and our lack of ability to even know. To contend evolution is evidence there is no God is also a non-starter. One has to assume that “evolution� was not and is not directed by a Divine Being. Whatever one concludes, it is also an act of faith. Another interesting fact about evolution is that all of the “evidence� is anecdotal, not hard science. As for the Bible, an atheist has to believe, again in an act of faith, that God’s Word isn’t true and that He did not divinely inspire it. One must have an incredible faith in one’s own infallibility to draw such conclusions. Unfortunately, a faith in self that approaches delusion. And then there is the witness and evidence that God is. Most Christians are certain that He exists. He is in our lives and many of us have experienced Him up close and personal.
In my case, there is concrete evidence that God intervened in my life. I won’t get into the details except to say it is fact. And this. Once a Christian friend and I were visiting a touristy town in California. As we entered one establishment, I heard in my brain a shout, “get out, get out, you don’t belong in here.� I was overwhelmed with the horrible feeling of being in presence of something truly terrible, truly evil. The hair on the back of my neck and arms stood straight up. I told myself that I was never going to tell anyone about this. No one would believe me. Or they would think something else about me. We didn’t stay long. When my friend, who was ahead of me, turned and looked at me, she had a really funny look on her face. As we walked out the door, she asked, did you feel that? She had experienced what I had. That incident was as real to both of us as the nose on your face. Now, Mr. Atheist, look at all the evil in this world and explain away this encounter to me. As C.S. Lewis said, we live in occupied territory. Atheists don’t know what it is like to live in God’s grace in the fellowship of believers. How sad. So, we pray for them. Apparently, for some, we must pray harder.
State Representative Greg Davids will seek re-election ST. PAUL - State Representative Greg Davids (R-Preston) has officially announced that he will once again seek re-election this fall to the Minnesota House of Representatives. “It is such an honor to serve the residents of Fillmore and Houston counties as I deeply Greg Davids care about addressing the issues that impact their lives,� Davids said. As chairman of the powerful Minnesota House Taxes Com-
mittee, Davids championed legislation last session that delivered $650 million in tax relief to hardworking Minnesotans. Moving forward, he will continue looking for ways to allow middle class residents to keep more of what they earn. Davids said he will continue to fight for fairer funding for rural Minnesota schools, job creation policies that will strengthen the rural economy, and smarter spending of your tax dollars. “I look forward to meeting with residents across the district over the next few months to hear their legislative thoughts and concerns,� Davids said.

C ommentary Christianity 101...no misconceptions here By Flip Huggenvik Big Spring, MN Herb Panko’s comments on my rebuttal to his original commentary piece are interesting. And he does make some good points on contradictions and the literal interpretation of the Flip Huggenvik Bible. I am a Gentile...a non-Jew. The Bible
was basically written by the Jews, about the Jews, and for the Jews. (With the exception of Paul’s letters to some of the Gentile believers.) It is definitely a Jewish book. I have read it cover to cover more than a few times, and it is largely a mystery to me, a Gentile. The Biblical “scholars” that Mr. Panko refers to have been tearing this book apart since it’s inception in 300 AD. Like so many, Herb and I could go back and forth, tit for tat, every week, for years. But understanding it’s intent?... this Jewish Bible was not written
as a book of historical facts, but as Billy Graham puts it: “the Bible is a love letter from God.” There is one claimed “truth” found in the New Testament that a few choose to believe and many (like Herb) choose not to believe: Christians believe God showed up on this earth in the form of a man...Jesus the Christ. And why would he have to do that? You would think this glorious and awesome creation of earth and nature would be enough to point one towards a belief in the Creator. This creation is evidence
and proof that a masterful Creator exists, and is in control. A Creator that appreciates beauty and diversity and curiosity and experimentation and discovery and wonder and humor and awe and joy. All perfect and harmonious. Our majestic blue planet is His crown jewel in His vast universe. You would think that would be enough. But no. It wasn’t enough. The human race was in a major downward spiral. Many gods, and spirits, and belief systems. Immoral philosophies and practices and misguided religions. Misunderstanding and stupidity and violence and hatred and bigotry...
all run amuck. Multiplying over the years. A lost direction. A lost condition. We needed a lifeline. The human race needed a savior. So, the Creator came to earth as a man to reveal His true nature. And His nature turns out to be: an incomprehensible love for us lowly humans. It is hard for me to reject this. I choose to believe it. Herb closes with a great point. “...the Bible, like any other literary masterpiece, does not have to be factually true to be a source if inspiration and beauty.” God rewards those who sincerely seek him. (Hebrews 11:6) You just have to start looking.
Gov. Dayton submits Opportunity Zone recommendation to U.S. Treasury Fillmore County included in recommendation for Opportunity Zone designation ST. PAUL – Gov. Mark Dayton has recommended to the U.S. Department of Treasury 128 lowincome census tracts in Minnesota to be designated as Opportunity Zones.

a top priority for my Administration. These efforts have been especially important in communities that are experiencing continuing economic disparities,” said Governor Dayton. “The Opportunity Zones program provides Minnesota a great opportunity to work with local community leaders and our federal partners to build upon that important work and improve people’s lives.” “Opportunity Zones have the potential to bring much needed investment to some of Minnesota’s lowest-income areas to spur economic development,” said DEED Commissioner Shawntera Hardy. “This program could lead to new strategies to bridge public-private partnerships.” “We believe that some Oppor-

tunity Zones may be attractive for investments in workforce housing, which is in short supply in many communities around the state,” said Minnesota Housing Commissioner Mary Tingerthal. Under the law, each Governor is authorized to designate 25% of eligible census tracts as Opportunity Zones in their state. In Minnesota, 509 census tracts are eligible for designation. See map at https:// mn.gov/deed/business/financing-business/tax-credits/opp-zones/opp-zonetracts.jsp. The Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), together with Minnesota Housing, asked Minnesota’s 87 counties, 11tribal nations, and first-class cities, to prioritize and rank eligible census tracts for recommendation. The state does not have a role in Opportunity Zones beyond this initial step. Once approved by the U.S. Department of Treasury, projects in Opportunity Zones will be eligible for funding through Opportunity Funds. Opportunity Funds are an investment vehicle that is set up as either a partnership or corporation for investing in eligible property that is located in an Opportunity Zone and that utilizes the investor’s gains from a prior investment for funding the Opportunity Fund. Guidance for opportunity funds are being developed by the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service and should be
available later this year. DEED is the state’s principal economic development agency, promoting business recruitment, expansion and retention, workforce
development, international trade and community development. For more details about the agency and its services, visit the DEED website or follow us on Twitter.

ing. “It will be like a school setting,” says Coaty, with students breaking for lunch between morning and afternoon sessions. Lunch will be provided two days while students will bring a sack lunch on the third day. Monday, July 9, the day begins with learning filmmaking basics such as equipment and roles in filmmaking including lights, director of photography, sound mixer, boom and gaffer, as well as the subject of cinematography learning about wide angle vs. telephoto, depth of field, zooming, tracking and rack focus. Framing, screen direction camera setups and continuity will also be discussed. The afternoon session will put to use the knowledge learned in the morning session as the students set up a camera for a scene, pull focus with a camera and record a small scene. Tuesday, July 10, will feature sound recording and camera setting, gaining education on equipment for sound recording, mixing sound, gathering room tone for editing Foley sound and camera settings with students learning hands-on how to set up a camera and adjust settings for
different conditions, and they will shoot a small scene where they will focus on sound recording. Wednesday, July 10, the students will be taught shooting natural vs. artificial light, discussing goals for making a short film and character goals. The students will be using that newly acquired knowledge to practice setting up, lighting and recording for continuity. Thursday, July 12 through Sunday, July 15, the students will be divided into groups of five with one adult supervisor per group. Students will spend these four days planning the movie they want to make and shooting their movie using a DSLR camera that will be checked out to the adult supervisor. Monday, July 16 through Wednesday, July 18, the students will be back at the JEM Theatre to learn editing from Mr. Ritz and get their movies ready for its unveiling. The big day is Thursday, July 19, with the Red Carpet Premier. “It’s going to be a black tie event,” states Coaty, as all of their films will be shown on the big screen. “They are going to walk in on a red carpet,” notes Coaty, and there will be an area set up for
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
Monday, May 14, 2018 paparazzi to take photos and students will receive JEM Theatre Movie Camp “Oscars” in various categories. “The community is urged to come,” states Coaty. “Everyone comes in here with their family, friends and community for the event,” she says, which will be very exciting for the students who will have their films shown. Tickets for the Red Carpet Premier are $20.00 with limited tickets available, so get your tickets now, urges Coaty. The cost per student for the JEM Theatre Movie Camp is $400, which covers everything they need. There is a fundraising campaign underway with the JEM Movie Camp coupon book. The cost of the coupon book is $10.00 and includes three coupons for a free large popcorn, a free refill on any size popcorn coupon that is reusable for the rest of the year and other coupons. Six dollars from each coupon book sold goes toward the students Movie Camp tuition, $2 goes to the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation, and $2 goes to the company that created the coupon book. “They have a way to earn their full tuition if they want to work for it and it’s really not that
hard,” states Coaty, explaining that the kids that are selling the coupon books are not having trouble selling them at all. For children who want to be involved in making a movie but are not in seventh grade yet, there is an alternative. They can be a Movie Camp actor and see their face on the big screen, says Coaty. The cost to be an actor at Movie Camp is $50 and includes a ticket to the premier, a t-shirt, and attending four days of camp, July 12-15, which includes time spent with Mr. Ritz. If you are an adult who may be interested in Movie Camp, contact Coaty as depending on the number of registrations the camp may also be offered to
adults. “This is a rare opportunity that they are getting here and they are going to get their own movie out of it afterwards,” says Coaty. “Instead of sitting at home playing video games in the summer, do something fun with your friends - make a movie!,” states Coaty. Registrations are due by Friday, May 25, 2018. For more information call (507) 6765456, email coatyjem@gmail. com, visit the JEM facebook page at facebook.com/JemTheatre or stop by the JEM the next couple weekends, as there will be a table set up out front for registering.

movich agreed that it’s always a fun event. Business Manager Amber Herbrand gave a budgetary summary. She said overall revenues are roughly $39,000 ahead of this point last year, while overall expenses are about $12,000 lower than one year ago. Superintendent Hecimovich added,

“And good news, we are under $300 district-wide in unpaid lunch debt. It’s amazing how much Kelly and everybody’s been working hard to bring that down.” The board discussed ways to help students and their families plan ahead, and pay ahead, for the annual senior trip. It was shared that some schools allow students to pay and/or fundraise for a number of years, so that the

cost of the senior trip doesn’t hit so suddenly in the student’s final year. Board members agreed that this plan has merits, and that if Kingsland adopts such a plan, they would probably ask students (who are planning to go on their senior trip) to start paying and/or fundraising from seventh grade on. There was also talk of possibly having a recurring senior trip, meaning that Kingsland seniors would take essentially the same trip every year. This would allow for more predictability in pricing and other arrangements. There was also discussion that because some families would choose to simply write a check, the pool of students doing fundraising might quickly shrink and make group fundraising less feasible. No action was taken. Building & Grounds Director John Dols stated, “I just want to say how lucky we are to have Tyler Heimermann working for us… His construction class and home improvement class… The skills he’s teaching these students,… He’s just

Board members voiced agreement. Dols, who also serves as activities director, was asked his opinion on when to move any salvageable equipment from the Wykoff facility. He suggested early to mid August, because then possibly football and volleyball athletes could be asked to
help with the task. The board changed the date of canvassing the special election referendum results. The amended date is May 16 at 5:45 p.m. Board members asked when they’ll be informed of the special election result; Hecimovich replied, “As soon as I know.” The next regular board meeting will be Monday, May 21, at 6:30 p.m. in the choir room. As always, the public is welcome.

All we need is (to stop romanticizing) love By Miranda Cox The rampant flitting of butterflies in one’s stomach upon a mere thought or glimpse. The electrifying spark capable of commencing a wildfire extending from a graze or touch. The slight coloring of cheeks and avoidance of Miranda Cox eye contact upon noticing the directed affectionate gaze of another. The continual craving for the missing piece to the puzzle and overall commitment for eternal union. Upon asking another claiming to have fallen victim of the sentiments to what is deemed the most powerful of human emotions, love, one likely would receive at least one of the aforementioned cliches. Indeed, though such alleged truisms readily exist, the term in itself ceases to exist quite so simply, for how could one adequately assign an accepted definition to a word subject to change among varying individuals? Indisputably, love is a beautiful thing, perhaps more so than any other we are collectively gifted to experience in life. However, even the most alluring of things house their share of imperfections. Regarding this topic in particular, it is of the very con-
cept itself. Quite simply, we, as a society, are more in love with the thought of being in love than with actually allowing such to develop and establishing that we are in the first place. The countless dating apps, the so-called chick flicks, the ever sought after romance novels — all provide specific examples to the occurrence of the above, as well as the overall demand of contemporary humankind for instant gratification. Though undoubtedly compelling, love does not develop overnight, nor within a sheer number of days. What is worse, as is often the case, those of younger generations are now taking to their elder’s ways of housing this obsession over love, becoming fixated with the determination to boast a relationship. Nonetheless, regardless of age, the tendency of basing one’s worth upon the successful obtaining and maintenance of this intimacy is not only obvious, but widespread. However, if one does not know how to initially radiate personal love from within, he or she has no hope to discover it outside. In addition, the notion of the existence of a perfect relationship has been cultivated in recent times and often sought after by a majority, if not all, of couples, each seeming to be in an attempt to one-up the other. It is not a competition, and

Scheevel 39*, G. Miller 42, C. Rindels 49); (B) FC 205, Crestwood 215 (FC: C. Nevalainen 40*) when considering the fact that such rivalry subsists in association with an emotion meant to draw us together, few can sanely argue of it being anything but evil. Yet, with so many beings professing feelings of love while simultaneously aiming for flawlessness, would not every relationship be labeled unblemished and separations be essentially fictitious? Perhaps what numerous fail to understand is that love is a practice, a daily devotion. As with a myriad of other things, one gets out of it what he or she puts into it. Contrary to popular opinion, love is brimming with faults, disagreements, setbacks, and differences, the entirety of which, though proving difficult, are worth it if such is real. Perhaps we are all purely romantics at heart, yet this romanticization of love has got to stop. Though appealing and commanding, such can only persist to be so special if we work to alter these glamorizations. Instead, consider: being in love lends no wondering to the ever pondered question of what it truly is, does not take into account the status of another’s position within such in hopes of boosting personal attitudes and standings, nor justifies one’s existence on earth. And, if we are to continue this focus on love, such should be directed upon us, for the greatest of relationships and most prosperous of lives begins with ourselves.

A View From The Woods By Loni Kemp ©SallyKeating2011
Restoration and degradation As cars pull in full of people dressed in sensible shoes and long sleeves, the annual wildflower walk of the Harmony Garden Club is about to commence. A warm, sunny morning welcomes us as the first tinge of green is visible in the surrounding forests. Our hosts, members of the group, welcome us to their severalhundred acre property. Everyone is happy with anticipation of the spring ephemeral flowers we hope to find. We set off along mowed paths through large expanses of restored prairie, still brown and crisp before the planned prairie burn to come. Our hosts tell of buying the land some 30 years ago, and the years they spent visiting to work on restoring its health. Many acres of giant red cedars and buckthorn were cleared,
to be followed by regular removal of new appearances of the invasive species. Oaks and pines were planted in some areas, and native prairie species established in others. Now they live in their newly built home on the land, and focus on establishing habitat for pollinators like bees and butterflies, and fencing in space for a garden and orchard. Meanwhile, our focus today is on the expansive woodland ahead, a vast sweep of hilltop and bluff overlooking the sparkling Root River and the bike trail beyond. Our eyes turn downward as we walk slowly along, searching for the tiny but spectacularly beautiful wildflowers at our feet. Aptly named spring beauty spar-
Sautéed Bacon and Greens
Fry a quarter pound of bacon, remove and drain bacon, but keep most of the grease. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to pan and fry a chopped onion and a chopped carrot until soft. Add 3 cups of corn, 1/2 cup diced green pepper and cook until hot. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, plus salt and pepper to taste. Crumble and return bacon to pan. Add 4-6 cups shredded greens (spinach, kale, etc.) and stir until wilted, about a minute.

kles with tiny pink flowers to welcome us into the forest. The late winter we had means that we are still seeing the earliest wildflowers of the year, a few weeks past their normal bloom time. Rue anemone, wood anemone and false rue anemone each show off their distinctive personalities. Trout lily leaves poke up all around, and one or two show off examples of the perky white blooms to come. Meanwhile, colonies of shiny mayapples are showy even before the bloom appears. Close to the ground is the wooly looking wild ginger, with its burgundy flower lying on the dirt, waiting for a passing beetle to come pollinate it. We find all our early wildflower friends this year, and hope we each get a chance to stroll through a wild woods a bit later to greet the latebloomers. In contrast to this delightful encounter with lovingly restored lands, my mind is weighed down by a proposal I’ve just read about in the newspaper that has the potential to degrade the land and surrounding area. An out-of-state agribusiness called Catalpa, LLC wants to construct an enormous hog confinement operation of 4,980 sows about a mile southwest of Newburg. An 8.9 million gallon manure pit would sit under the barn. The land for the facility and many of the manure application areas are owned by Al Hein, according to the plat book. A total of 24 cropland fields are identified for manure application. The proposer is listed as Brad Herman, and his address corresponds to Waukon Feed Ranch in Waukon, Iowa. This company’s website says they have a feed mill that sells feed for 120,000 pigs in northeast Iowa. They also do grain marketing, grain storage, LP delivery, have a gas station, construction crews, repair shop and agronomy department. They manage over 24,000 sows in three states. It is not clear who Catalpa, LLC is, or who would own the land, the facility, the pigs, or who will be ultimately responsible for manure application and the overall operation. I am all too familiar with the results of huge hog operations. The smells, manure spills, health effects on neighbors and workers, and con-

Peterson council takes action on properties By Kirsten Zoellner After several years of trying to buckle down on properties within the city that are not compliant with city ordinances, the Peterson council voted Wednesday, May 9, to approve taking legal action on the properties. Mayor Tim Hallum noted that some of the non-compliance issues stem back to 2014. Last year, after physical review of seven properties by council and city staff, letters from city hall detailing the violations were sent, but the city received little to no response from the property owners. “Letters from me aren’t working,� said City Clerk Christopher Grindland. “We just keep delaying it,� added Councilor Gail Boyum. “They just don’t respond.� According to the letters, the majority of issues are vehicles and debris. “The City of Peterson is committed to maintaining
quality neighborhoods,� read the letter introduction. “Your property is not conforming to ordinance, as described below. The city requests you take action to bring your property into compliance on an agreed upon timeline with the city council. We hope you will work with us to maintain a positive community environment.� Property owners were also notified of the meeting, had they wanted to make public comment. Following the council meeting, at least two in council meeting attendance noted they’d received letters, but declined to make any comment at the time. “The only way is to do it and enforce it,� noted Grindland. The council voted unanimously to declare the properties a nuisance. City Attorney Greg Schrieber will draft a letter detailing a reasonable timeline for property owners to remedy
non-compliance. If not addressed by the expiration of the timeline, it was noted the city would head to court with property owners. In other news the city is also looking ahead to getting past due payment of utilities in order. In 2016, the council passed measures to create a policy certifying all unpaid utilities to the county for addition to property taxes at the end of each year. Also included in that year’s utility changes was addition of a minimal past due interest rate and policy details making past due bills of rentals the ultimate responsibility of the property owner. More than $8,000 in past due amounts was certified to the county at the end of 2017. So far this year, there is more than $20,000 in past due balances. The city has touted the idea of adding a disconnect policy to the current policy, effective spring
County approves leasing program for squad cars By Karen Reisner Discussion continued from the previous board meeting regarding a proposed leasing program, Enterprise Fleet Management, for squad cars at the county board’s May 8 meeting. Sheriff Tom Kaase said he believed we will see greater savings in repairs with the management program. Vehicles will be run for fewer miles, which will result in a higher resale value. During the presentation two weeks ago, Wong Nystrom, account executive, maintained the county could save at least $10,000 per year by the leasing-to-own program for squad vehicles. County Attorney Brett Corson had presented several questions about the lease agreement after it was sent to him for review. Corson said Enterprise did make clarifications and they were accom-
modating in regard to requested changes to the agreement. They answered all questions. Kaase noted the Law Enforcement Committee suggested the lease program is something the board should look at. The lease company recommends replacing vehicles at about 90,000 miles to get the “best bang for the buck.� Chief deputy Kevin Beck said they advise, but we have the final say when to turn over a vehicle. Kaase said the estimated 5% interest rate allows for Enterprise to make a profit and pay the cost for the management program. At the last meeting commissioner Randy Dahl apologized for not always replacing Sheriff Department vehicles on schedule. Commissioner Duane Bakke said Dahl should not apologize for not replacing vehicles on schedule when the Sheriff’s
Department had not budgeted for their replacement. Beck said with this program vehicles will be delivered. Currently, buying through the state bid requires people to go to Hibbing to pick up the vehicle or pay to have it delivered. The Sheriff Department’s equipment installed in the vehicle belongs to the county. Dahl added he would like to see a commonality in vehicles so equipment will fit into the next vehicle. Kaase insisted projections look favorable and beneficial, so the county could save some money. He added they are looking at Ford SUVs which are less costly and get better mileage. Beck noted the two vehicles that have been ordered would go into the lease program if the program is approved. Bakke suggested leasing four vehicles

of 2019. In doing so, properties past a set threshold would see utilities disconnected until balances are brought current. Once paid in full, the utilities would be reconnected, with the reconnection fee the responsibility of the bill holder. Any unpaid balance at the end of the year would still be certified to the county. “I think we need to go with a combination of disconnects and assessment,� said Hallum. “We will have to run it across legal, but I think we should move ahead with this.� Councilor Boyum questioned delaying the disconnect policy until next spring. However, it was noted the wait allows everyone to be made aware of it, if and before it becomes effective, so there are no surprises. Councilor Dave Colbenson suggested the city look at a cap for disconnection, whether an amount or time frame. He also questioned whether or not there was additional assistance or leniency for those who may have
had recent difficulty, such as loss of a job. Grindland will research how other municipalities handle disconnect benchmarks and will bring the information back to the next council meeting. The city will be including a survey for all residents in its next newsletter. The intent is to gather public opinion for what to do with the recently acquired land in the south end of town. Site of the former R-P School District athletic fields, the property is now owned by the city, per an agreement between the district and city during the 1991 district consolidation. The city is looking for citizen comment on whether the area should be designated city park or be parceled. At least one adjacent property has requested to purchase a section to extend their back property line. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Wednesday, June 13, at 6 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
and selling high mileage cars. A motion was made to enter into a lease for four vehicles (includes the two already ordered). The four vehicles will be three Ford Utility Interceptors and one Ford Equinox. The motion was unanimously approved contingent on county attorney Corson’s approval of the final paperwork. At the next meeting in two weeks the board will be presented with the final lease to review before it is signed by chairman Mitch Lentz. Other business in brief • Fifteen properties are on the forfeited properties list for nonpayment of taxes. The board approved a resolution classifying all of these as non-conservation properties. Heidi Jones, auditor/treasurer’s office, explained two of the properties may need approval from the Department of Natural Resources before sale of the land. One in Preble Township has stand-
ing timber (MN statute 282.01) requiring DNR approval. The other in Harmony Township has over 530 feet of waterfront (MN statute 282.018) requiring DNR approval. Both properties are in Marc Prestby’s district. The DNR would have first option when these properties go to tax forfeiture. A second resolution requesting approval from the DNR will be brought back to the next meeting. Bakke had a question about the waterfront/public waters statute applying to the Harmony Township property. The state awarded Fillmore County a $50,117.20 grant for the purchase of the updated model of Tabulator/Assisted Voting Devices. The county will match the grant amount. The total cost for hardware, software and services is $114,160. Annual hardware maintenance and license See SQUAD CARS Page 24 

Miller’s 125 years of Angus cattle
Chris Miller, along with his parents Margaret and Larry, keep the family tradition going. Photo by Rich Wicks By Rich Wicks The motto at Miller’s Viewlawn Angus Farm seems to be, “Do one thing, and do it very well.” And
since the Miller family has been doing the same thing for over a century, they obviously have a knack for raising quality Angus

beef cattle. The farm of Larry and Margaret Miller, located a mile west of Prosper, actually straddles the border of Iowa and Minnesota. Larry said this creates a few unique challenges, as the state laws for one pasture are different from the laws for the pasture on the other side of the gravel road. Also, the Millers had to find insurance that would work in both states. Larry explained that the original farm was bought by the Miller family in 1866, and was about a half-mile southeast of the current location. Roy Miller established in the current farm in 1903, and Larry proudly shared that, “There’s never been a break in the purebred operation since 1903, so it’s one of the oldest in the nation, and the world!” He also pointed out that he’s the sixth generation working the farm, and his grandchildren are the eighth. Larry said that, “Our main business is selling breeding stock to other people,… bulls and females. We’ve got a lot of repeat customers, and we’ve been selling to them for two and three generations.” He added that, “We sell quite a bit of locker beef, too,” and said it’s important for customers to know where their beef is coming from. One of the farm’s main goals is to have uniformity and consistency in their cattle. Larry explained that with their breeding, “We don’t want to make a few elite ones,… and then you drop down to all the others.” As Larry showed off over 60 of his bulls, an untrained eye found very few differences between any of the animals. The Millers also explained that they pay close attention to the temperament of their cattle. Any animals that are tough to handle will be sent to market rather than kept longterm or sold to another farm. As the Millers talked about their operation, the term “customer service” popped up frequently. Margaret explained, “We sell everything ‘private treaty’ on the farm, so we don’t have a sale. They can

come whenever it works for them.” Larry added that this allows him to provide better individual service than if he were dealing with a large crowd of customers all at once. He also said often customers will simply call him and explain their situation and what they want, and then Larry will select the animals that are the best fit for the customer, without the customer actually coming to the farm. Obviously, this approach is based on a strong trust between the buyer and seller, but that’s the way the Millers believe in doing business. When asked about the number of cattle, Larry and Margaret’s son Chris said, “Typically, in a normal
year we breed 300 cows. We retain 250 to calve. Of that, we sell 60 heifers and 60 to 80 bulls a year.” He added that, “There’s a lot of performance testing and measurements that we get… We want to have a holistic approach.” Chris said the farm never has a slow season, “But spring is probably the busiest, because you’re calving, and you’re trying to put the crops in.” Larry added that, “And during the winter, the worse the weather is, the busier we are, because we’re taking care of our animals” by making sure the feed and water and bedding are proSee MILLER ANGUS Page 27

vided. Larry said, “We’re active in a lot of organizations. I’ve been on the Winneshiek Cattlemen’s Board for over 40 years now. Chris is a past president of the Iowa Angus Association and has been on the Fillmore Cattlemen’s Board most of his life, and he’s on the school board, and 4-H and FFA we’re real involved with.” Besides Angus cattle, the farm also has about 550 pigs, and Larry said, “Our sheep numbers are down a little right
now, but we lambed out about 40 ewes this year.” The farm doesn’t have a website, but has a Facebook page (Miller’s Viewlawn Angus) showing a variety of photos of their operation and herd. They can also be reached by phone at (507) 743-8370. When asked what he hopes for the future of the farm, Larry smiled and replied, “Well, back in 2003, we were celebrating our FIRST 100 years...” It seems a good bet that someday, the Miller family will be celebrating their second 100 years raising quality beef cattle.

USDA Enrollment Period for Safety Net Coverage in 2018
Farmers and ranchers with base acres in the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) or Price Loss Coverage (PLC) safety net program may enroll for the 2018 crop year. The enrollment period will end on August 1, 2018. Since shares and ownership of a farm can change year-toyear, producers must enroll by signing a contract each program year. The producers on a farm that are not enrolled for the 2018 enrollment period will not be
eligible for financial assistance from the ARC or PLC programs for the 2018 crop should crop prices or farm revenues fall below the historical price or revenue benchmarks established by the program. Producers who made their elections in previous years must still enroll during the 2018 enrollment period. The ARC and PLC programs were authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill and offer a safety net to agricultural producers when there is a substantial drop in prices or revenues for covered

because of the uncertain nature of animals and weather, and the Aggen family shared a favorite story that highlights this fact. One winter, a cow that was expected to calve around New Years Day actually
started calving on Christmas Eve.

There’s always a priority! on herd health, generation after generation.” The Oak Meadows Farms website (www.oakmfarm.com) tells more about their operation and their stock, including pictures. It even includes history and achievements such as a picture from when Lynn was enshrined in the Minnesota Livestock Hall of Fame. Lynn pointed out that Beef Month is a good time to remember the importance of farming in the local economy. He shared his opinion that, “Tourism is good, but tourism is a drop in the bucket compared to agriculture,” because if farmers run into trouble, it will quickly impact everyone. Regarding his busy life as a veterinarian and a farmer, Lynn said, “The advantage is it gives me exposure to a lot of people, and they know I’m ‘Mr. Simmental,’ some even tease me about it… And I learn a lot from my (veterinary) clients. And hopefully they learn a few things from me, too.” When asked if he’s planning to cut back or retire anytime soon, Lynn answered, “Well, I’m going to retire here, sometime.” His family laughed and said the key word in that statement is “sometime.” Lynn quipped, “My truck has 442,000 miles. I’d like to take it to 500,000.” At this point, it appears the truck, and the owner, are going to keep on rolling.

Final Experience Harmony public input meeting to be held The Harmony Economic Development Authority (EDA) is hosting the final public input meeting in its second series of “Experience Harmony.” The program designed to gather ideas on how to continue make Harmony the best place to live, work, and play over the next one to 10, or even 20 years. This final meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 16, 2018, at 5:30 p.m. at the Harmony Golf Club, 545 4th Street NE, Harmony, Minn., and will last about two hours. All members of the public are welcome and encouraged to participate! Light appetizers will be provided. Topics discussed at this meeting will include new housing, rehabilitation of existing housing, commuter/ transportation issues, cost of living, the environment/energy sustainability, new business attraction, technology advancement in the community, recreation amenity improvements, and promoting the community. Anyone with thoughts on how the community could address these issues should attend! In the first public input session held during the fall of 2017, community members gathered to brainstorm projects, ideas, and goals for Harmony — no idea was too big or too small. From that gathering the EDA utilized the input received and conducted a community-wide survey which resulted in candid responses concerning Harmony’s strengths, challenges, and opportunities. Based on the feedback of this final meeting, projects will be prioritized for implementation. The goal of this placemaking process is to make sure that Harmony continues to listen, plan, and move forward as
“The Biggest Little Town in Southeast Minnesota” — the Harmony EDA wants to continually move our community goals forward. The first Experience Harmony series was held in early 2014, shortly after major regional initiatives such as Mayo Clinic’s Destination Medical Center was announced, and was a great success. At that time community members wanted to work together to better harness the regional projected economic growth. Their answer was the creation of the Experience Harmony process which was designed to gather and prioritize public input and resources to best achieve short and long term goals. In the first series, community members met over the course of two meetings to dream about what would make Harmony a better place to live, work, and play. Project ideas ranged from building a community garden to digging a lake. During the second meeting, participants took those ideas to try to tackle the basic project feasibility, develop conceptual work plans, and identify potential project champions to move the projects forward. From concepts that came forward during the public input meetings and a community survey, five projects were identified as priorities. Four of the projects, attracting a new day care center, build community gardens, hold career fairs for Fillmore Central high school students, and city landscaping beautification, were completed. For questions or to RSVP, please call Chris Giesen, Harmony EDA Coordinator, (507) 886-2846 or email him at chris.giesen@cedausa. com.

Lanesboro council makes final decision on Zenith Street paving project By Hannah Wingert A letter stating the Zenith Street homeowners’ perspective on the proposed Zenith Street East paving project was distributed at the May 7 Lanesboro City Council meeting as part of the public hearing to discuss the project. Several of the Zenith Street homeowners were also present to make one last statement before the council decided whether or not to go ahead with the project. The council had previously approved a motion to pave the gravel road to the end of Woodview, but had later discussed the possibility of paving it all the way to the end of city limits instead. Zenith Street resident Phil Dybing noted that he and the other homeowners were ready to sign a waiver agreeing to be assessed for 50% of the costs, no matter which paving option was chosen. The public hearing was closed so the council could discuss their thoughts on the proposed paving project. A resolution declaring the adequacy of the petition presented by the homeowners and ordering preparation of a report was approved. The second resolution on the table was a commitment of the city to pave the road and was amended to include paving to the end of the city limits. Mayor Autumn Johnson pointed out that the quotes received for the work were around $12,000 higher than the original ones presented when the possibility of the project was first approached. “I’m against it. We literally do not have the money to do this,” she stated. “Even if they (the homeowners) are willing to pay the 50% (for assessments), we don’t have the money and dipping into the reserves is not a good idea.” After some discussion, the council voted on the resolution to pave the gravel portion of Zenith Street. The motion was approved with three council members in favor of the project and two against. Resolutions were also passed approving the plans and specifications and to award the quote for the project to the low bid from Elcor Construction in the amount of $95,042.15. The assessment term and interest will be set at the June council meeting. Another public hearing was held to discuss the city’s wellhead protection plan which was presented by Jennifer Weier from the Minnesota Department of Health. Weier gave a brief overview of the plan which included a map of the city’s wells as well as action items. Only three issues were identified, which were the old municipal wells, private property wells, and the limited staff and resources of the city. Among other things, the plan included finding and identifying all wells within city limits and sealing those that need it, continuing to work with the MDH staff to test water and stay safe water compliant, and managing the area around the city’s well head.
City Administrator Michele Peterson was able to attend the Minnesota Municipal Clerks Institute. “It was very eye-opening and interesting,” she said. “I learned a lot of things that I would like to bring back to the council.” The Planning and Zoning committee accepted a resignation from Peggy Hanson and will be looking for a new member to fill her seat. The hiring committee conducted three interviews for the part-time seasonal position and recommended hiring Garrett Melander for the job. The council approved the hiring. One workday has been completed for the ball field improvements since the Minnesota Twins Field of Dreams grant was received. Several more will take place over the next few weeks to complete the project. Volunteers are welcome. The council approved the Park Board’s request to begin the application process for a USDA grant to achieve ADA compliance with the municipal garage and bathroom. City Maintenance Director Andy Drake asked the council to review a $95,000 quote for a 2020 truck to replace the current city truck. He pointed out that when the truck was purchased new in 1999, it was decided to trade it in every 15 years, but that hasn’t been done. The truck is in need of some expensive repairs if the city is going to keep operating it. While several of the council members agreed that a new truck is needed, they pointed out that it’s not currently in the budget. “The timing is off,” council member Tom Smith said. Council member Jason Resseman noted that only about a third of the cost to buy a new truck is available in the funds right now. Resseman asked to see a cost breakdown of the repairs needed on the existing truck before making the decision to purchase a new one. “We do need that truck, we use it all the time,” he agreed, “but we need to know the whole picture before spending
that much money.” The council decided to table their decision until Drake can present quotes for repairs. Ambulance Director Deane Benson updated the council on the service. Since the beginning of 2018, they have gone on 30 calls. They are still looking for new EMTs and have two who will finish their classes in August so they can join the crew. Benson and the other crew members are working hard to promote the service and encourage locals to join as EMTs via word-of-mouth and social media. The new Stryker lift cot is working out very well, and the old cot is being sold for $5,000. Last year, during budgeting, a project to remove trees on Zenith Street was identified. “It’s a mess,” Drake said about the trees. “They’re all tangled together.” Drake has been looking into options to do so and informed the council that the most cost effective way would be to grub each one and then burn them, rather than having the trees hauled away and then burned. At least one resident on the street is opposed to burning the trees, but to haul them away would double the cost of the project. Several of the residents were at the meeting and indicated that they were also not in favor of the tree removal. “It sure seems like we’re focusing our efforts on one section of town when there’s a lot that needs to be done somewhere else too,” Resseman pointed out. “I would be inclined to just let it lie for now.” The rest of the council agreed and the motion to remove the trees was denied. The Fillmore County EDA is asking cities in Fillmore County to contribute to a county-wide housing study to plan for future growth. Lanesboro’s portion would be $500. The council approved the payment from the EDA budget. A liquor license was approved for Home Sweet Home. The next Lanesboro city council meeting will be held on June 4 at 5:30 p.m.

National Police Week and National Peace Officer Memorial Day the details of their sacrifice in the line of duty, as well as all the southeastern Minnesota Law Enforcement Officers who have died in the line of duty, please go to lawenforcementmemorial. org/fallen-officers.html. During this year’s National Police Week and National Peace Officer Memorial Day, the lives of 129 law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty in 2017 will be nationally recognized at the Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, DC. This “in the line of duty death” number has decreased 10% from 2016, which was 143. An additional tragic part of our law enforcement profession is that in 2017 there were 140 suicides by law enforcement officers. This number also recognizes the toll of the pressures that affects the lives and families of officers in our careers.
The Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation of Southeastern Minnesota (www.facebook.com/ROCLEMA) has been working on fundraising for the building of a local Law Enforcement Memorial. This memorial, when completed, will be located in Soldiers Field Park in Rochester. I have the honor and privilege of being a board member of this foundation. To be part of a group that is making a local memorial for Deputy Kruegel and Officer Meyer a reality is truly an honor! On Friday, May 18, at 5:30 p.m., there will be a local Law Enforcement Memorial Program held at the Soldiers Field Memorial, 300 SW 7th St., Rochester. The service will be held outside, with a rain-out site also available. The public is invited to this event.

By Sheriff Tom Kaase May 11-17 is National Police Week. This week also includes the recognition of the National Peace Officer Memorial Day, on May 15. This is important to our Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office because we want to take this opportunity to recognize all off the law enforcement officers throughout our county. It is even more important as it is a time in which we recognize those law enforcement officers from our county that made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their life in the line of duty. Fillmore County Deputy Walter William Kruegel, 59 years of age, died in the line of duty on November 10, 1954. Grand Meadow Officer Jason Brent Meyer, 28 years of age, from Spring Valley, died in the line of duty on September 6, 1999. To read

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Would law enforcement give me a citation if I have a prescription, from my eye doctor, saying that I get migraine headaches from intense lighting and my truck windows can be tinted to 20% on driver and passenger windows, for Troy H. no more than Christianson two years? Answer: Drivers must be in possession of a prescription or document from their doctor regarding the medical need to have tinted windows below the 50% light transmittance, plus or minus 3%. If they don’t have the required documentation with them, a law enforcement officer may issue a citation. The document must state the minimum percentage of light transmittance that would satisfy the patient’s prescription or medical needs. The document must also contain an expiration date that is no more than two years after the prescription or statement was issued. If the window tint is below the state minimum of 50% light transmittance, a law enforcement officer may stop the vehicle since the officer will not be aware of the medical exemption. In Minnesota, you can have your windows tinted to a light transmittance of 50% but not less. Light transmittance is the amount of light that is required to pass through both the window and the tint film. Vehicles come from the factory with tint already inside the glass material. No window comes from the factory at 100% light transmittance. My experience has been that
most vehicles are already at 75% before any modifications. Summary of Minnesota’s window tint law • No vehicle can have ANY tint to the front windshield. • Passenger cars are limited to 50% on all side and rear windows. • Pickups, vans and SUVs are limited to 50% on the front side windows. • Pickups, vans and SUVs are not limited on the rear side and rear windows. It can be less than 50% behind the front seat. • Squad cars, limousines and vehicles used to transport human remains by a funeral establishment are not limited on the side and rear windows. Most troopers have window tint meters in their patrol cars and will test the windows for the legal percent of light transmittance if they look to be below the statutory limit. If they are found below the legal limit, the trooper will issue a citation or warning. Prior contact data is stored in our Minnesota State Patrol computer system, and if the vehicle is stopped again, the trooper will be able to read what that vehicle was stopped for, driver and passenger information, if a citation or warning was issued and any comments entered from the previous trooper(s). You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, Minn. 55901-5848. Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@state.mn.us.
