Preston looking at masonry fixes By K aren R eisner kreisner@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The Preston City Council at their May 21 meeting discussed options to repair the retaining wall in front of city hall and the pedestrian ramp in the 100 West block of Fillmore Street. City Administrator Joe Hoffman explained there have been complaints about the brick facing falling off of the pedestrian ramp. The ramp was put in during 1996. A mason from Wykoff looked at it and suggested replacing the brick with a smaller brick which could be set back, so water would less likely get behind it. Jennifer Ronnenberg, SWCD, had several suggestions including flow through planters, which will intercept

a lot of the run off. The brick will be removed before the next meeting of the council. When they can see what it looks like underneath the brick, the council will decide on how to fix the ramp. The retaining wall in front of city hall is leaning and crumbling. Hoffman said Mensink Landscaping provided a quote to rebuild the wall with higher quality block. The quote in the amount of $2,808.25 was accepted to rebuild the wall. The sidewalk also needs replacing. Council members wanted to repair the sidewalk as well. Mensink had suggested the use of pavers. The council See PRESTON Page 11

C ommentary Another look at unemployment numbers By Stan Gudmundson I’m getting to be a little more nostalgic as I get older. I look back at the old days and think that maybe, just maybe, things were better then. Some of you might remember them as well. Do you remember when the left was thoroughly enthusiastic about Bush, Jr.’s economic policies when the US had an unemployment rate that was less than five percent? No, I don’t remember that either, but I do recall a whole lot of lefty condemnation about a “jobless recovery.” And today the left, along with the lamescream media, are drooling over an April unemployCol. Stan ment rate Gudmundson “dropping to USAF (Ret) 8.1 percent” as defined by some pretty spectacular numbers fudging by the US government. Gallup shows it to be 9.1 percent. 8.1 percent? How did the statisticians do that, since there were only 115,000 new jobs created last month. Easy, just erase 324,000 other people off the books and say “they are no longer looking.” And magically, the unemployment rate “drops.”
Maryland economist Peter Morici says that, “four-fifths of the reduction in unemployment has been accomplished by...dropping (the) adult force participation rate.” Mark Twain, I believe, said there were lies, damned lies, and statistics. Well, we’ve dropped the bottom even further down in that sequence - government data. Do you remember when our Supreme Court justices believed in the constitution and ruled accordingly? Nah, I don’t remember that far back either. But at least they used to give it lip service. They don’t even do that anymore. Justice Ginsburg recently told Egyptians that she wouldn’t recommend that any country adopt the US constitution as a template because she thinks it is outdated. She says South Africa’s is one that is better. Some justices have also said that the court needs to look at jurisprudence beyond our shores. Such as the Muslim law of Sharia perhaps? Remember when justices actually believed in the oath they swore before taking office. Something about defending the constitution, I believe. Remember when you could afford to put gas in the car and go out for a little Sunday drive? I liked those days, but today gas is pretty expensive even if it has gone down a little. Since January of 2009, the price of gas has more
SEMAC awards arts grants On May 15, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council, Inc. (SEMAC) awarded 23 grants for a total of $110,035 in funding to applicants throughout southeastern Minnesota. This included seven Presenter/Production Assistance Grants for $20,275, six Small Towns/Rural Areas Grants for $15,900, and Editorial Cartoon
ten Arts & Cultural Heritage Grants for $73,860. The latter funding is made possible by the Minnesota arts and cultural heritage fund as appropriated by the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008. SEMAC is the State Arts Board-designated granting
than doubled. At the end of this month I’m going fly out to California and will drive back here to Minnesota. Fuel alone will cost $600 or more. Remember when fuel prices spiked during Bush Jr’s administration and the left said it was Bush’s fault? Along with VP Cheney who conspired with Haliburton to fleece the American people? In those days, a study reports, the mainstream press was writing critical articles about fuel price increases at a ratio of 15 to 1 compared to today. Odd, huh? But now we discover presidents can’t do anything about oil prices, except for Obama to declare that he will do everything in his power to lower them. So far doing everything in his power means stopping a pipe line from Canada, preventing further drilling on publicly owned land, not allowing drilling in ANWAR, a miserable and forlorn place if there ever was one, and, in spite of a court order holding the administration in contempt, essentially disabling oil production and exploration in the Gulf Mexico. He has also said we can’t drill our way out of this? I guess I have to ask, why not? We’ve discovered we have as much petroleum as Saudi Arabia, and when our other carbon resources are included in the total, we are authority for local/regional arts producing and sponsoring organizations and disburses funds allocated for this purpose by the Minnesota State Legislature. The SEMAC region includes the counties of Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, and Winona. Grants were awarded to each of the following organizations in Fillmore County:
the world’s carbon reservoir. Why aren’t we producing enough to not only be energy independent, but enough to export significant quantities? Afterall, we’re going to need some sort of revenue beyond what we now produce if we are to pay for all of the unsustainable programs and debt this administration has and will run up? Or are we going to stop all of that and turn America into one giant bankrupt national park? If this is how Obama helps us, what would he do if he was actually trying not to help? Remember when Bush, Jr. was running up our debt and the left was calling it “unpatriotic?” Those were the days. The days when it sometimes took a full year for Bush et al to create a deficit that Obama could do in a month. However, a pox on both your houses for that methinks. Remember when presidents were somewhat civil? I like the soothing tones of Obama who said about his political opponents, we need to “punish our enemies,” advised his supporters to “(get) in their faces,” gave Hillary the middle finger, and said “his grandmother was a typical white person.” Ah yes, civility as practiced by the left. And when presidents left office, they went home, wrote their memoirs and left everyone alone? That is until we got that nasty little Georgian Carter and then the reprobate Clinton. •Brave Community Theatre received a $3,000 Small Towns/ Rural Areas grant for Fade to Black. •Commonweal Theatre Company received a $3,000 Small Towns/Rural Areas grant for The Drawer Boy. •Lanesboro Community Theatre received a $1,000 Small Towns/Rural Areas grant for the summer meldrama She Was Only a Farmer’s Daughter.

Remember when our country left the business of distributing wealth pretty much to the marketplace? But Obama said that he believed in spreading the wealth around. So how is that working? As a consequence, are you and I and everyone else better off with this redistribution business? A recent poll revealed that 80 percent of Americans don’t think we are. Given the increasingly horrendous national debt, unemployment rate, lack of economic growth, growth in numbers of people on food stamps, foreclosure rates and housing market collapse, and on and on, one can only conclude that the only redistribution Obama is good at is spreading misery. Obama said he believes that the US needs fundamental change and he was going to do it. But how do you force fundamental change and not destroy? You can’t. Maybe Obama didn’t mean redistribution. Perhaps he meant retribution. People who think they are smart enough to be our selfanointed gurus also apparently believe we are not capable of handling our own affairs. They treat us as if we are lab rats to be experimented with. And most on the left think that is perfectly fine.

Journal Scholarship Recipient By Jason Sethre Publisher of the Fillmore County Journal & Olmsted County Journal Cell phone: 507-251-5297 jsethre@fillmorecountyjournal.com Many Graduations The past couple of weeks have come with a flurry of graduation reminders. A couple of weeks ago, parents, officers and students celebrated the annual D.A.R.E. graduation ceremony in Peterson, r e c o g n i z e d Jason Sethre on page 21. Thank you to our Sheriff’s Department and the schools who collaborate to keep this program alive and well. And, congratulations to the students. As a side note, I am not quite sure why all of our school districts don’t participate in this program in Fillmore County. To me, it’s a no-brainer. Also, this past week, our family had the pleasure of attending our son’s pre-school graduation ceremony at the Preston Elementary School. The celebration filled the gymnasium with students, teachers, parents, siblings, grandparents and great-grandparents. In last week’s Journal, you probably noticed a 16 page graduation section celebrating the Class of 2012 for all six school districts in Fillmore County. This annual tradition for our staff and the communities we serve is quite a comprehensive project, and we
appreciate working with the students, parents and school districts to make this possible. As I’ve heard from many parents, this graduation section becomes a keepsake that students will refer to for many years to come. Journal Scholarship I am proud to announce that the annual scholarship for the Fillmore County Journal has been granted to Mitchell Walbridge, and for many, many reasons. Below you will find the essay that Mitchell provided with his application for the $500 scholarship, telling all of us why he is proud of his community. Over the past couple years, our staff has watched Mitchell grow with our newspapers. His work has actually appeared in both the Fillmore County Journal and the Olmsted County Journal, reaching a combined 74,000 households. That’s a lot of potential critics! I remember when Abby Stocker, another Lanesboro High School graduate, became the first high school student I entrusted in my entire 18 year career to cover a school board meeting -- the Chatfield School Board. It’s not common to have high school students cover civic meetings and write an accurate and complete article to be published in a newspaper read by over 21,000 readers every week. For the most part, high school students are taking classes to learn about how our government works. How can they possibly comprehend and then articulate what happened at a local government meeting? I was skeptical in the beginng-
ing, but Abby proved to be exceptional. And, for those of you who have never covered a school board or city council meeting for publication in a newspaper, if you make a mistake then those who were misquoted in that meeting or actions that were inaccurately depicted in print will undoubtedly be called into question. A retraction will soon follow. We never received a single phone call regarding Abby’s coverage of meetings. And, I am happy to say that before Abby went off to Bethel College, she trained Mitchell Walbridge to carry on her tradition of news coverage for the Chatfield School Board. Abby paved the way for Mitchell, and he didn’t let us down. He maintained that continuity. Now, Mitchell is graduating as the Valedictorian and President of the Lanesboro High School Class of 2012, and I’m not surprised with his academic success. He is a mature and smart young man, and our newspaper has been blessed to have his talent during these high school years. Based on how fondly he thinks of his community, I am sure he will help us do great things in the future, as well. Mitchell, thank you for all that you’ve done, and please don’t be a stranger as you embark upon some exciting years ahead. As our newspaper looks to the 2012-13 school year, we will again be offering the Journal scholarship along with an opportunity for high school students to express themselves in the Journal Student Writing Project. Until next fall, to all of the returning students and the graduates, have a safe and funfilled summer.

Kingsland discusses iPads By Barb Laganiere The Kingsland School Board had a full agenda on May 21, 2012. Superintendent John McDonald and all school board members were present. The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Doug Plaehn. Consent agenda items were approved. A discussion was held on policy review. Deb Larson explained the consensus on Policy 533.5 would be better off being put in the Handbook under Guidelines and Procedures, so the Administration would be able to adjust the policy as necessary. Motion carried. A June first meeting will be held for the first reading of the Handbook and a second and final reading will be held July second. Doug Plaehn had a thank you for Kelly Opsett for sending in an application and subsequently receiving 400 books for the school.

How is your community unique? By Mitchell Walbridge Tourism is a vital branch of our country’s economy. The amount of jobs and income that comes from tourism in the United States is immeasurable. So when you think of tourism, what comes to mind? Mitchell Large cities Walbridge with towering sky scrapers? Sandy beaches with resorts, boardwalks, and weather that make the destination a paradise? Lanesboro, Minnesota may not have these specific qualities, but the rural community is a tourism center of southeastern Minnesota. Who knew that a town of only 788 people could offer so much to accommodate almost anyone’s interests? You will not find a Holiday Inn & Suites within miles of Lanesboro, but the community is not titled “The Bed and Breakfast Capital of the USA” for laughs. Lanesboro has
a vast assortment of B&B’s to host numerous travelers. The Scanlan House, Mrs. B’s, the Thompson House, the Victorian House, Stone Mill Suites, and the list is endless! Each place to stay offers its own charm to the patrons. If you’re a naturalist, there are accommodations for you as well. Many campgrounds are abundant around Lanesboro. The chances are high that the selected campground even has access to the Root River. After checking into your temporary residency, how will you spend the rest of your time? Lanesboro has a diverse list of options. You may choose to do some local souvenir shopping, enjoy a nice dinner, and take in a classical play at the downtown Commonweal Theatre. If you’re more of the active type, a vigorous day of kayaking on the river, biking to one of the neighboring towns, or challenging yourself on the ropes course at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center is sure to get your adrenaline rushing. You will never get bored in this small
town. Refueling yourself after such a day is necessary. Dining in Lanesboro coincides with almost any appetite. Whether you’re looking for pizza, sandwiches, upscale meals, to just classy dining, Lanesboro has it all. And for dessert, you may just have room for a delectable cone from River Trail Picnic Basket which is one of the few establishments left that serves the original Bridgeman’s ice cream. The fun doesn’t stop there. If you’re up for even a more special weekend, Lanesboro natives know how to throw a real party! Buffalo Bill Days weekend is three days packed with amusing entertainment. Music, food, games, fireworks displays, street dances, and a grand parade are only a few of the activities you’ll have the opportunity to attend. From the hot summer days to the beautiful autumn colors, the Lanesboro community, situated in the heart of bluff country, is as unique as a town comes. Any season of the year Lanesboro is a top contender for a vacation destination.

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County
Fillmore County Sports Reversal of fortunes By Paul Trende One week after dropping threestraight, the Chatfield Gopher’s baseball team did an about-face. Against Southland, it was not pretty. Chatfield pitching surrendered 13 hits and two walks. Their defense committed four errors. Southland stranded 12 runners. Rebel pitching gave up 11 hits, eight walks, and hit four batters. Their defense committed five errors. The Gophers left 11 on base. Chatfield never trailed but squandered 3-0 and 6-2 leads. Rebel Tyler Kressin’s RBI single in the top of the 7th sent the game to extra innings tied at eight. In the bottom of the 8th, the Gophers got the anti-climatic walk-off win. With the bases juiced, Mitch Narveson stepped to the plate and on the very first pitch, took it for the team. His hit-batsmen gave the Gophers the 9-8 victory. Kressin (4-5, 3B, RBI, 2 R) and Mike Goergen (3-5, RBI, R, SB) led the Rebel charge. Four Gophers had two hits led by Zach Eggers (2-5, ROE, 3 R, SB). The game featured only one 1-2-3 inning. The Gophers then took on 11th ranked W-K. It was more baseball formulaic. Pitchers Jake Neis and Will Greenheck dueled to a zerozero contest thru six innings. In the top of the 7th, Narveson was more heroic with his heroics. He hit his first HR of the season. Neis and Zach Eggers followed with triple/single. The Gophers scored four in the inning to secure a 4-0 win (avenging an 11-5 loss a week earlier). Neis (7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 5 K, 2 BB) got the win, Greenheck (6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 4 K) the defeat. Chatfield then trekked to Preston and took out the Falcons 9 to 2. Tyler Lund (2-5) drove in three runs, Jake Neis (2-5, 2 R, 2B, SB) two. Tyler Eickhoff was 2-4 with two doubles and a run scored for FC/L. The wins moved Chatfield to 13-6, putting them behind PEM (15-3) and W-K (12-5), just ahead of L-A (11-6) and C-SG (11-7). FC/L is 5-12. Young Pitchers Duel FC/L’s Morgan Malley and R-P’s Kendra Crawford have pitched the lions-share of the innings for their respective softball teams this year. A freshmen and sophomore, they’ll (likely) pitch (many) more. Each pitched a double-header against each other, throwing well. One came away skunked, the other with two wins. FC/L’s offense came out hitting in game one. Four straight knocks (three 2B’s) to begin the
nning 5/27/2012
game gave the Falcons the 2-0 lead. R-P got their first runs in the 3rd (two unearned, Crawford RBI single). They jumped ahead 3-2. By the top of the 7th, it was 6-2. A couple unearned runs allowed FC/L to close the gap to 6-4. With one out, a runner on second, the Falcons had hitters 2 and 3 up, but a fly out and pop out ended it. Crawford (7 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 3 K, 1 BB, Win) bested Malley (6 IP, 6 R, 3 ER, 6 H, 5 K, 1 BB, Loss/12, 2B, RBI, R). She got help from Jodi Eggert (2-3, R), Jessica Rislov (2-3, RBI), and Kyli Torkelson (1-2, RBI). Jordan O’Connor (2-4, 2 2B’s, RBI) and Alex Peterson (2-3) led FC/L’s ‘O’. In game two, R-P got two hits to begin the game (Mariah Mueller single, Crawford RBI single). That lone run is all R-P needed. Crawford (7 IP, 0 R, 7 H, 4 K, 1 BB, Win/2-3, RBI, 2 SB) again bested Malley (7 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 5 H, 5 K, 0 BB, Loss), 2-0. Megan Schossow (1-3) drove in the other R-P run. Kaitlynn Aug and Steph Erickson (2B) each went 2-3 for the Falcons. Top Heavy One would’ve thought, with the way the Lewiston-Altura (12-1, 17-2) softball team hits HR’s (30+ plus), and with the way Chatfield (12-1, 15-4) hit HR’s late in the season (nine in six games), with the way each team scored runs period (12 & 9.6/game), that the NorthSouth 1st place Cross-Over game between the #4 and #10 (tie) teams in Class A might be firework-laden. Mother Nature (a gusty wind blowing in) and great competition begged to differ. Not one ball flew fairly over an outfield fence. Hits didn’t come easy, except for Natalie Kalmes (3-4, 2B, SB, 3 R), Allissa Heim (2-4, 2 RBI, courtesy runner 2 R), and Brooke Schilling (2-3, 3B, RBI, 2SB). The first three hitters in L-A’s order accounted for 7 of the team’s 8 hits, all five runs, and 3 of 4 RBI’s. Chatfield had just three (clean) hits. They did have a big spot. In the bottom of the 5th, trailing 3-2, team RBI (31) and HR (6) leader Tori Woltz came to the plate with two-on and two-out. She took swings with two in scoring position, but popped out. L-A got a pair of insurance runs from there and secured a 5-2 win, their second (5-1 on April 16th) over Chatfield this season. MaKenzie Miller and Kirsten Keefe drove in the two Gopher
runs. Katie Jech took the loss (112), but stuck out ten, Schilling the win. It was the first time L-A scored less than 10 runs since April 17 (10-9 loss to R-P: 13 games). A third meeting is highly possible; the teams are the section 1A-East’s top two seeds.

Budde said property taxes will still be paid on the building. The building will be Bluff Country HRA property and be regulated by rural development. •Tim Penny, Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, said he appreciated the support the foundation has received from local governments. The foundation has a $4.5 million budget and serves a twenty county region. Fifteen dollars worth of resources are brought into the region for every one dollar raised from local donors. •Forty percent of the budget goes toward early childhood development. The other priority area is the entrepreneurial area. Both are important to the economic health of a community. The foundation also acts as a 501c3 for a number of communities that want a community fund. •Lists of election judges for the August 14 primary and the November 6 general election were approved. •Public Works Director Jim Bakken discussed the algae and duckweed problem on the lower retention pond. He said the MPCA didn’t have
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
an objection to treat the algae with chemicals. Trout are sensitive to copper. A chemical that is only nine percent copper is considered safe. Each treatment will take one gallon and it costs $43 per gallon. Bakken estimated $300 per year would pay for the treatment. The algae treatment was approved. •A mailer will be sent out to about 150 homes above the pond to educate them about over fertilization, especially with phosphorus and the resulting run-off effect on the pond. Pet waste also adds to the problem. The mailers will explain about duckweed and the fact that it may not look attractive, but it does not give off an odor like the algae. Information will also be included in utility bills to provide information on duckweed and algae. •Hoffman is going to have a conversation with MnDot to

look at some long term options and the possibility of turning the lower pond into a dry pond. •Volunteers are needed to help with watering the hanging flower baskets. Summer (staff) helpers will water the flowers during the five day work week. Volunteers are needed to sign up for weekends throughout the summer. It takes about a half hour each day to water the flowers.

May is a busy month in 1st grade!!
We presented three plays for our parents. They were: “If You Take A Mouse to School,” “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” and “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.” On May 22nd we headed down to Lanesboro to visit the fish hatchery. The students were really excited to see all the different sizes of fish. Their favorite part of the fish hatchery was getting to see the 2 year old Rainbow Trout and feeding the fish. Fish really love their food! After the hatchery we had a chance to play at Sylvan Park before taking a walk on the bike trail to see the waterfall.

PALS Ordered New Playground Equipment
The PALS parent support group has ordered new playground equipment for the M-C School Playground! It is currently in the works of construction, and should be installed soon. One major new feature that will be added is a Rock wall climbing structure, that will not only be fun and interesting, but physically stimulating as well. The playground will also benefit from recent donations for benches to be placed in the play area in memory of Preschool Paraprofessional Aide Lynn Rogich, and also for Lyle Headington, who has grandchildren that attend M-C School. We welcome the community to come and check out our playground improvements this summer and enjoy! The PALS group is working on several FUN Summer 2012 events!! There will be a Summer Reading event on Tuesday, June 26th at the Steam Engine Grounds (rain out location will possibly be the Mabel Public Library) with several fun events planned and treats provided.
May - June
Students: Wyatt Frederickson, S t e p h a n i e Grammentz, Delanie Davis, and Josh Vatland
PALS also wants to encourage Summer Reading, and support the kids who spend a little time over the summer reading and retaining the information that they have learned over the past school year! Studies show that children who continue to read over the summer will remember what they have learned more readily than children who have “taken the summer off.” Typically teachers state that it takes up to 6 weeks to recover what children should have already learned from the previous year, before they can get started on the new school year’s curriculum. If we can get our kids excited about reading and see how the benefits will pay off when they come back to school in the fall, we all win! Please keep an eye out for more information regarding the upcoming Summer Reading Program!
Farm Safety Day, May 15th
The fourth grade class had a blast at Farm Safety Day, on May 15th. There were 12 presentation areas set up at the Mabel Steam Engine Grounds. There were 485 students registered from fifteen schools, which was the largest group ever! Fillmore Central and Spring Grove FFA members served as group leaders. Mabel-Canton FFA members assisted in other ways. RushfordPeterson, Chatfield, and Caledonia FFA’s also had members assisting presenters or making presentations.
On behalf of the Class of 2012, the Mabel-Canton High School would like to say,
“THANK YOU”
to the supporters of the yearly scholarship program. Because of this support, our students are able to achieve their goals of a college education. If you have an upcoming class reunion, please consider supporting the scholarship program by recognizing your alumni class.
Real World Video Broadcasting Experience
Back in January ten senior students in the Business of Sports and Entertainment class took a trip to St. Paul to participate in the Grand Stadium TV 45 “Boot Camp.” At this boot camp students learned how to use a variety of broadcasting equipment. Last week, 5 of these students were able to put these skills to use. Bailey Hanson, Emilia Ramirez, Megan Warner, Lisa Moum, Philip Lam and advisor Mrs. Michelle Weidemann traveled to Eden Prairie to Brunswick Zone to help film and edit the State Adaptive Bowling tournament for the MSHL and Grand Stadium TV 45. Here is what a few students had to say about the experience: Emilia Ramirez said, “The experience was AMAZING! It is a lot of work but to see people do something they really enjoy is fun. Watching them bowl, receive awards and just meeting them is an experience I’ll never forget.” Bailey Hanson said, “Learning how a sporting event is broadcast was interesting. It was a lot of work, but still very fun. Being able to watch the adaptive bowling tournament was also very fun, those kids had so much fun and were very proud!” Philip Lam said, “It was a pretty fun
There were signs marking each of the twelve presentation areas. Classes rotated around a large circle for 18 minute presentations. Presentations included grain drowning, tractor rollover, 911 emergency, first aid, and safety demonstrations about fire danger, sun danger, 4 wheelers, PTOs, electricity, and handling livestock. Lunch was served by the Fillmore County Cattlemen, which included hamburger, chips, bananas, and milk. MedLink was also on the ground for a few hours. The Mabel EMT Ambulance crew was the ground contact and supervised access to MedLink Air. Jerrold Tesmer coordinated this event.
experience, and it taught me a lot about filming.” Lisa Moum said, “It was a lot of fun and I don’t regret going. I learned things that I never thought I would learn.” Check out our students work at www.prep45. com (the video from this event will be posted for 7 days). Thank you to Grand Stadium TV 45 and MSHL for providing our students with this opportunity.

Fillmore Central hears Community Ed. report By Jade Sexton Fillmore Central Community Ed. Director Holly Kanengeiter gave the school board an annual report during the board meeting on May 22, 2012. Kanengeiter reported that the One Block at a Time Day Care has 75 registered children right now, and they are licensed for 80. They have purchased all new cribs due to new federal regulations, and implemented a new Mother Goose curriculum. SAC (School Age Care) currently has 55 registered students. They average 25 students per day during the school year and 35 a day during the summer. ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) conducted three classes per week per session, and averaged 14 children per session. They also held many special events and had successful father/daughter and mother/ son events. The School Readiness preschool program also had a lot of students this year, and transportation was provided for 30 kids throughout the year. Summer Recreation will be different this year, as Harmony and Preston will no longer have separate programs. There will just be one Fillmore Central program now, with transportation provided between the towns. Kanengeiter noted that when
she began six years ago, Community Ed. lost approximately $75,000 that year. This past fiscal year, the Community Ed. program made $24,000. This is a turn-around of almost $100,000 in six years. Curriculum Committee Board member Craig Britton, speaking for the Curriculum Committee, said they met recently and reviewed options for scheduling at the high school next year. At the last meeting, Principal Heath Olstad made some suggestions on how to change the schedule to include math and English classes all year long. Britton said the committee looked at a few options and decided the schedule should stay the same this coming school year, with more math review sessions added in. This will give them more time to look at schedule changes for the next year. Root River Program Micki Breitsprecher, Director of the Root River Program, informed the board that when their contract with Zumbro Valley Mental Health Center ends on June 30, they are not going to renew. Breitsprecher said they would save a lot of money by hiring their own fulltime therapist, a .2 FTE Mental Health Professional, and a .2 billing person.
Staffing Changes Keith recommended they decrease the hours of Jeff Thompson, technology director from .5 FTE to .2 FTE. Right now his time is shared with Spring Grove schools. The board approved hiring an additional full-time employee for technology support as the district moves forward with increasing technology for the students. The board accepted the resignation of Sandy Hurley from the daycare. They also accepted the resignation of Christina Bothun from special ed. and Courtney Long from daycare. Also approved was the hire of April Royet for a daycare lead teacher float position. Levi Olstad was hired as a high school math teacher. Brady Grewe was hired as a Phys. Ed/Health/ DAPE teacher. Chris Mensink was hired as the new Athletic Director. Summer Rec. staff was also hired. Coaches Coaches were approved for fall sports. Tom Siebanaler will be assistant football coach, Aaron Janssen 9th grade football, Tim Ostrom 8th grade football, Tris Tollefson 7th grade football, and Travis Malley Assistant volleyball. Coaches for B squad football, 8th grade volleyball, and 7th grade volleyball will still need to be hired.

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 households each week. Other Business The board approved the increase of school lunch prices over the next three years. Keith explained the USDA regulations say schools must get their price up to $2.46 per meal. Kindergarten assessments were done, and they are expecting 55-57 students in kindergarten next year. The board also approved the following items: •the early start calendar for the 2012-13 school year, with the first day being August 20
•membership in the Minnesota Rural Education Association (MREA) •participation in the Student Assurance Services program •contracts for classified staff •special ed. staff for the summer •extended contract for Dean of Students Chris Mensink •elimination of the district administrative assistant position The next meeting date was changed to Thursday, June 21 at 6:30pm.
On May 15, the Fillmore Central Kindergarten class enjoyed experiencing a ride on the Amtrak Train from Winona, MN to LaCrosse, WI. The field trip was made possible through a memorial gift from student Lucas Nickoloski’s grandfather, Don Ellis. Mr. Ellis worked in education for many years and saw the value of class field trips.

another large clump of birches have provided a length of shade for the wildflowers along the rock garden. Birdfeeders have hung from her limbs, providing a revolving door of entertainment, as Indigo Buntings, goldfinches, nuthatches, Cardinals, and woodpeckers visited. Five years ago, we received the unwelcome news an insect was destroying our birches, and eventually they would need to be taken down. The several storms with high winds earlier this spring finally completed the job the insects had begun, breaking branches and severing a tree in the clump of four in the backyard, so it leaned drunkenly against one of its sister trees. Norby’s Tree Service was called and came as soon as the rains permitted and took down the birch trees. It was fascinating to watch as the trees were cut into manageable chunks from the safety of their elevator-like equipment. However, the next day the empty expanses of grass where graceful columns of trees once stood was downright disturbing. Change is hard, especially for someone so attached to the ever-changing vista her trees have provided. Now we shall look forward to new beginnings, as Standish Instant Shade from Caledonia has planted a 16’ Sienna Glenn Maple in our backyard and two 16’ Burgundy Belle Maples in the front. Hopefully, we will come to love them, as they grow and spread their wings to best show off their colorful plumage of reds, yellows and oranges in the fall.
Picnic Sandwiches
Cut a loaf of French bread lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise on one half, mustard or Basil Pesto on the other half. (Recipe for pesto was given in my last column.) Stack slices of your favorite lunchmeat (we like Virginia ham), and slices of cheese (we like provolone). Add slices of sweet or red onion, red pepper, pickles, cucumbers, olives, or whatever you prefer. Place the other half on top and cut into manageable portions. Enjoy with a cool drink and fruit, amid the quiet chatter of the woods.

Trees I’ve always considered trees as friends. Serene and contemplative, they serve as gentle backdrops to our private thoughts. Birds nest in nurturing branches, their songs serving as a musical feast for the ears. As a child I spent hours in the expansive woods near our house, exploring, climbing, and discovering, as a solo act as well as together with friends. I lamented my teenage woes to the gentle giants, the wind rustling their leaves into a sympathetic sigh. On a canoe trip to the boundary waters, the majesty of the trees was the theater to our youthful laughter and our guide’s lovely vocals with a guitar accompaniment. In Colorado, we hiked up mountains, admiring the lovely aspens, flecks of gold appearing as the sun dappled their leaves. When our children were young, we spent many hours on private land in the Big Woods, scoping out wildlife footprints, identifying birds, trees, and wildflowers, enjoying a picnic lunch midday. Once we “planted” shiitake mushrooms in a decaying oak tree, enjoying their rich taste for one season. Over the years I have had many fond relationships with the trees in my life, as they have provided a companionable backdrop to camping expeditions, family vacations and reunions at the lake. As I write this column, I consider our former clump of birches, providers of shade on the south side of the house and a gentle resting spot for the winged creatures brightening our yard.

Sheep management practices workshop Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educator for Fillmore/Houston Counties Sheep are a great animal to raise on farms both large and small, and large numbers aren’t n e c e s s a r y Jerrold Tesmer to make it worthwhile. That fact is demonstrated by the USDA Statistical Service
(NASS) numbers released for 2011. Of all sheep operations in the USA, 94 percent of those were comprised of flocks in the range of 1-99 head, and farms with 1-99 head accounted for 35 percent of the inventory. It’s fairly easy to get started with sheep, and the potential for profitability is good. Sheep numbers continue to decline throughout the USA, while demand remains strong, which has resulted in record prices for market lambs. In response to increased interest, the Small
Farms U Program at the University of Minnesota is offering a workshop on basic sheep management practices that will be held on Monday, June 4, 2012, from 5:00-9:00 p.m., on the St Paul Campus, at the Beef Cattle Barn, located on the corner of Buford and Gortner Avenues. This workshop is designed for the person who has little experience raising sheep, but is thinking about starting a flock, or already has sheep but feels that more management skills would
The FCJ reaches over 12,000 household each week. be a worthy investment. It will be taught by Kyle Rozeboom, Livestock Specialist in the Animal Science Department. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to the following: Vaccinations - How and When to Administer, Parasite Control, Hoof Care, and Overview of a Sheep Management Calendar. The workshop starts with a dinner of roasted lamb, prepared by the University of Minnesota Meat Science on the St Paul Campus. Dinner will last from 5:00-5:30, and then we’ll begin covering the topics listed. Students will observe, and depending on the number
of participants in the class, may have the opportunity to practice the processes as well. Pre-registration is strongly suggested. Cost of the workshop is $25/adult, $30/couple or business partners, and $10/ student. Please contact Wayne Martin at marti067@umn.edu or (612) 625-6224 for questions or to register. Thanks to Wayne Martin, Extension Educator, Alternative Livestock Systems for bringing this event to my attention.

Chatfield School Board discusses literacy plan Attention everyone who enjoys to add to the trees. By Mitchell Walbridge having professional learning com Chatfield School Board mem- In other business elementary munities among staff members, singing! bers met on Tuesday, May 22 for the final meeting before the conclusion of the 2011-2012 school year. Items on the meeting agenda included several alterations in the district’s staffing and the approval of the newly initiated literacy plan that the elementary school will implement in the next academic year. The meeting began with district patron time where community volunteer Sandra Sullivan briefed the board on the landscaping projects occurring at the elementary school. Sandra reported that there are now a variety of trees that border sides of the school. Grant money awarded to the district have allowed for the landscaping to occur. Next, community volunteers plan on buying more plants
principal Craig Ihrke focused his monthly report on two main items, MCA III math results and the passage of the district’s literacy plan. Ihrke said that overall results showed improvements in math scores in students from grades third through fifth. Third grade results ultimately rose from 59 percent meeting or exceeding the standards last year to 82 percent this year. Ihrke did remind board members that this was a different test, but is still a continuation of the MCA series. Chatfield’s updated literacy plan will help students learn to read better by third grade. New criteria for this plan include having students read at or above their reading levels by third grade,
having a strong volunteer base to allow for individual assistance, and encouraging parent involvement. Chatfield teachers and administrators believe that this new plan will further educational success in the district’s students. The public will also be able to review the plan soon as it will be available on the school’s website. Secondary principal Randy Paulson had similar news to report in improvements in MCA math scores for middle school students. Both seventh and eighth grade test takers saw marginal increases in scores. Paulson then put spotlight on all of the end-of-the-year events such as the 13th annual FFA banquet, the middle school achievement program, and the senior scholarship banquet. A sincere appreciation for support went out to sponsors such as the Rick Bell State Farm Insurance Agency, Root River State Bank, the Lion’s Club, teachers and advisors, the Commercial Club, and the Chatfield Education Association. As the school year reaches a conclusion, Superintendent Ed Harris noted that preparations are always ongoing for future school plans. Staff members will be undergoing continual development at programs such as the Summer Academy. Harris also recognized district retirees Jan Mathison for 39 years of service and Marsha Thieke for 26 years of service. Before adjourning, important dates were announced. The district’s last day of school is May 31 followed by graduation on June 3 at 1:30 p.m. The next board meeting is scheduled for June 19.
A committee has been organized to put together a chorus to present the “musical celebration of freedom” called Liberty to benefit the Habitat for Humanity project in Harmony. Liberty is a collection of patriotic and folk songs arranged for four part harmony with some solo and small group music. A narrator tells the story of America’s pursuit of liberty; it seems like an appropriate theme for the July 4th celebration as well as the building of a new Habitat home in our area. This production has been done previously in Harmony most recently in 2001. Audiences were enthusiastic. There will be two performances, to coincide with Harmony’s 4th of July Celebration and the Harmony Hustle, another Habitat for Humanity fundraiser. Liberty will be presented at the Greenfield Lutheran Church in Harmony on Friday, July 6 at 7:00 pm and Saturday, July 7 at 2:00 pm. Singers are needed. Rehearsals will be Sundays from 4:00 –
6:00 pm at Greenfield Lutheran Church starting Sunday, June 3. Practice CDs are available for those who cannot make every rehearsal. All age groups are encouraged to participate, the larger the chorus, the better; invite anyone you can think of. Please call Marilyn Trouten, 886-3042 or Jacque Ryan, 886-2183 with any questions.

Sheriff Daryl Jensen informed the Council that Deputy Samantha Keasling will be filling in for Kevin Beck in Spring Valley for 10-12 weeks. Officer Keasling is from St. Paul where she attended training. Her first job as an officer was in Anoka County for several years and then she had a chance to move to SE Minnesota. She started out in Fillmore as a jailer and then an opportunity came up enabling her to become a licensed police officer.

SEMAC announce July grant application deadline The Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council announces a call for grant proposals in three categories. The postmark deadline is July 2, 2012. SEMAC is a non-profit arts agency and is the State of Minnesota Arts Board-designated regional arts council for the counties of Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, and Winona. Artists in Education Grants The Artists in Education category is intended to support artist residencies within the elevencounty SEMAC region. A residency is an interactive arts activity involving students, teachers, and artists. Residencies serve as a resource for teachers working to integrate the arts into the curriculum. They provide young people with a direct arts experience
with artists. Residencies also encourage professional development of artists by providing a unique employment experience and audience contact. Residencies must be at least one full day up to five full school days, in length, and be based upon a well-defined project. Residencies must culminate in a capstone event that is accessible to the public. Applications will be accepted from public or non-religious private school within the SEMAC region. Grants in this category have an upper limit of $2,000 and do not require matching funds. All proposed residencies must take place between September 1, 2012 and August 31, 2013. General Operating Support Grants General operating support is
designed to strengthen and stabilize arts organizations with operating expenses of less than $150,000 in the previous year. The fiscal year, or accounting period for which funding is requested, must not begin before September 1, 2012 and must conclude within one calendar year. In lieu of the single capstone event required for other grant categories, applications should include a schedule of all events planned during the covered time period. Proposals for organizational development will be accepted from eligible arts organizations that have been programming for a minimum of three years. Colleges and universities are ineligible. The maximum amount for this grant is $4,000. No match is required. McKnight Individual Artist Grants
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
Proposals will be accepted from individual artists to encourage the development of entirely original work in two distinct subcategories: the established artist grant and the emerging artist grant. No matching funds are required. •An established artist grant is designed to recognize, reward, and encourage outstanding individual artists and provide some financial support to enable them to continue their work. The maximum amount for this subcategory is $5,000. •An emerging artist grant offers small but critical support for specific projects by developing artists from all disciplines who are committed to advancing their work and careers. The maximum amount for this subcategory is $2,500. For both subcategories, the work must be part of a public showcasing and take place between September 1, 2012, and
Page 25
August 31, 2013. Artists must be full-time residents of the SEMAC region. This program is underwritten by the generous support of the McKnight Foundation. For information about the grant application process, eligibility, or grant writing assistance, contact the SEMAC office at 2778 D Commerce Dr NW, Rochester, MN 55901 or call 507-281-4848. Information may also be found on our Web site at www.semac.org.

We had water in our basement once 10 years ago, but repaired the problem and it has not happened since. Our basement is dry. We are selling our home, do we have to tell the new owner about the one time we had water?
First and foremost all Sellers are required Under Minnesota Law Statues 513.52 through 513.6 to satisfy the disclosure requirement for residential property. Sellers are obligated to disclose to prospective Buyers all material facts of which the Sellers are aware that could adversely and significantly affect an ordinary Buyer’s use or enjoyment of the property and any intended use of the property that the Seller is aware of. The question is “have the conditions previously or currently exists”, the answer is yes. When a Seller completes a Disclosure of Condition, you should disclose what you know, even if it was just once. State what happened and what action was taken to address the issue. This will help the new owner understand, care, and maintain the property and alert them to items that may need extra attention. Buyers feel more comfortable with properties that have disclosures with helpful information on the forms. Sellers may elect to waive the detailed disclosure and complete a Sellers Alternative Disclosure Statement. This is usually when the representative has not lived in the property and knowledge is limited. The property may be sold “AS IS” upon closing. However, the representative or seller is still obligated to disclose material facts they have knowledge of. IF in doubt disclose and consult your realtor .

Jennifer a. gumbel I have a will I did years ago attorney and need to make changes. Can I just cross out the old parts and write in what I want now? Once you do a will, circumstances can change. The person you wanted to be your executor twenty years ago may not be the person you want to do it now. You may want to change who gets your estate or you may have sold land you described in your will. There are many reasons you might need to change your will. However, you can’t just scratch out the old stuff and write in the new. Under Minnesota Statute, wills must be signed and witnessed by two people. In order to ensure clarity in making changes and to ensure that will requirements are followed, any changes you make should be done through a document that the probate court and estate planners call a codicil. A codicil is a document that formally amends a will and follows the formalities, such as signing and having two witnesses, of a will. If it’s been a while since you did your will, our office can help you make sure you amend it properly, so that it meets your needs now.

507.765.2117
www.rootrivervetcenter.com/ Dr. Linda Sifford Are the plants in my yard safe for my pets to eat? Many of the plants that grow in your yard are pretty but some of them can harm your pets. Eating some plants can cause your pet to have minor intestinal upset which may lead to a decreased appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. However, there are a few plants that are very toxic and can even cause death. All varieties of lilies are extremely toxic to cats and cause acute kidney failure. Yew shrubs are also extremely toxic and eating them can cause seizures and heart failure in both cats and dogs. Preventing exposure to poisonous plants is much easier than trying to treat it once your pet has already eaten a toxic plant. Always keep pets out of gardens and flower beds unless you are sure that the plants are not poisonous. Toxic house plants should be kept in separate rooms and away from unsupervised pets. Call us if you have questions about poisonous plants. We are here to help you and your pets.
Dan Bader Consultant Hwy. 16 & 43 • RUSHFORD, MN 507-864-2969 How can I tell if a rotor or drum Malichi Nelson really needs to be replaced? A rotor must be replaced if it is at or below the minimum thickness specifications or discard thickness stamped on the rotor (this same information can also be found in brake service manuals). Replacement is also necessary if a rotor cannot be resurfaced without exceeding the minimum thickness specification or the discard thickness specification. Replacement is also required if the rotor is cracked or damaged. Replacement may be recommended if a rotor has hard spots, is warped, or has been previously resurfaced for a warped condition. A drum must be replaced if it is at or beyond the maximum inside diameter specification or discard diameter stamped on the drum. Replacement is also necessary if a drum cannot be resurfaced without exceeding the maximum diameter specification or discard diameter specification. Replacement is also required if a drum is cracked, damaged, bell mouthed or too far out of round for resurfacing.

507-398-9115 • dan@perfectglossy.com Question: I have some specific ideas on how I want to design my logo and advertisement piece. Will I be able to save a lot of money by doing all the design and composition myself? A: In most cases you could probably save some money by doing your own design work. If you have a basic understanding of what makes an ad that produces great results you probably can come close to getting fair results. You probably have some great ideas for your logo that have been in your head for a long time. You certainly know your product and what you want to say to reach your sales goals. There are five basic steps to a great ad, Visual, Caption, Headline, Copy and Signature. One method of making sure your ad gets read is to arrange elements in that order, top to bottom. However, your ad should also lead with its strongest element. Sometimes the visual may be secondary to the headline. In that case you may decide to put the headline first. A caption may not be necessary at all times and often you’ll want to include additional elements such as secondary illustrations or a coupon box. There are a lot of variables in that formula to be considered. In order to maximize your advertising dollars and fine tune your message it is best to work with design professionals. In most cases that could become expensive. However, when you work with a printer like Perfect Glossy all reasonable design services are provided by the best designers in the mid west and are included in the quoted price with no hidden or extra charges. Perfect Glossy can take your great ideas and fine tune them to produce great results.

Why would a funeral home need a website? I asked myself this question when we were first considering creating a website for our funeral home. At first, the only application I could think of was posting obituaries. The evolution of our website has been exciting to watch. Along with posting obituaries, we now post obituary photos, tribute videos, guest book entries and condolence messages. This service allows those who live far away and would not be able to pay their respects in person to do so online. We have seen condolence messages of family and friends from all over the world. The website also has a list of resources from lodging to floral tributes as well as a lot of other helpful information. Over the years the Hoff Funeral Home website has grown from a handful of visitors a day to as many as over 1000 a day. Feel free to check us out at www.hofffuneral.com

Warranties Do used cars come with any sort of warranty? It varies on the year, mileage and what you paid for the vehicle. All vehicles come with at least a 3 year/36 month bumper to bumper warranty from the date the car was sold new, whichever comes first. Many vehicles come with at least a 60,000 mile power train warranty. In general these warranties are fully transferable beyond the original purchaser. Here at Brunsvold Enterprises, I will warranty all vehicles under 100,000 miles with some sort of mechanical backing. This is just another thing to check on when buying a used vehicle. Remember to get any agreement in writing so there is no confusion. Have a safe and fun summer.
