Rushford Village will support trail system By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The Tuesday, May 2, Rushford Village Council included an update from representatives of the Bluff Country ATV Club. The club has talked about the development of a Bluff Trax trail system for several years and an in-depth concept was developed in the last five. Now, the club is getting closer to making a scenic, family-friendly trail a reality. “There are about seven steps we have to go through. Right now, we’re at step one. We’re closer than we’ve ever been.” The club is headquartered in Rushford and has members from four counties. The concept is to utilize the area bluff lands for a leisure trail. The group has been dili-
gent in saying that it will be speed controlled and is looking to mitigate any potential problems through education. “Forty miles of trails is enough of a draw to bring people from states over. This driftless area; there’s nothing like it within hundreds of miles. People will come.” It’s estimated that ATV users spend upwards of $250 per person per day while enjoying the hobby. It’s typical for them to spend a day or a weekend in a locale, while spending dollars on restaurants, lodging, and more. “It’s a win-win situation.” The group is hoping to utilize a state grant-in-aid program to develop the trail.

efforts of the Danish to save Jewish people during the Holocaust. “We’ve always read Sadako,â€? says Nelson, “and [students] ask, ’Why did the U.S. bomb Hiroshima?‘ Now they can have a view of how each side was impacted and how one decision in war can lead to another‌.We feel that through these reading materials, the students realize not every decision in life is easy, and there are consequences for our actions.â€? There are several connections students make with Sadako and questions the story raises for them. Ms Nelson relates that students ask questions like, “Why do we have war?â€? and “How come they want to hurt people?... [Students] also connect that they are lucky to be healthy because [Sadako] became sick and died when she wasn’t much older than they are now. Almost every child can also connect to that book because they know someone who has had cancer.â€? When Sadako is sick, a friend tells her that if you make a thousand paper cranes you will be granted a wish. Every day at the hospital while she is dying, Sadako folds paper cranes. Her wish is to live in a world where there is peace. Because of the paper cranes (origami) and other parts of Japanese culture students read about in Sadako, the fourth graders develop an interest. Cindy Ofstedal, former Harmony teacher, 25-year teacher in Japan, and owner of Asahi Loft, a Japanese style B&B in Harmony, brings a meaningful Japanese cul-

ture experience to school for the fourth graders. On Friday, April 28, the three fourth grade classes joined art teacher Ann Sparks and Cindy Ofstedal in creating this experience. The first week in May in Japan is a special time called “Golden Week,� Ofstedal explains, “so this is a prime time to share the culture.� As part of Golden Week, each May 5, the Japanese people observe one of their most beloved and popular national holidays, Children’s Day, (Kodomo no hi). This is also a day when children are honored, respected, and celebrated for their individual strengths. It is a time when health, happiness, and good fortune are wished upon them. Several traditions are part of the celebrations and Ofstedal brings them to life for students. Prior to class, she prepared sticky rice, which is the basic ingredient in onigiri. No celebration would be complete without food, and onigiri is a must for a real Japanese experience. Onigiri is basically a ball of sushi rice that can be filled with all kinds of things. “Onigiri,� Ofstedal explains, “is to the Japanese what peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are to Americans – the staple fall back food and lunch box filler, the quintessential Japanese convenience store item.� In this class, students made their rice balls unique — they added faces. A cultural icon from Japan that you may find familiar is the Samurai warrior, a hero able to inspire the qualities of strength and courage in others. Warriors who are both strong and kind are found in many beloved Japanese folktales.
Samurai wore special hats known as “Kabuto.� As part of their Japanese experience, students also made origami kabuto hats. “Kids in Japan do origami all the time,� says Cindy Ofstedal, “you will see them do origami on the train or to pass the time while waiting. It’s done in the hospital during healing — it’s done everywhere.� In Ofstedal’s experience, some people just take to origami. “It’s creative but also methodical, there are boundaries and directions that must be followed. In the end, you have created something wonderful.� Ofstedal says that, in her experience, even a small exposure like folding a kabuto hat can lead a child to a serious interest in origami. “Some kids get exposed to it, and it just explodes for them!� If a spark catches for their child, parents can look for templates. There are many available in books or online. The whole time students are busily working on their onigiri and kabuto hats, Cindy Ofstedal “talks nonstop about Japan.� She tells stories, finds where students’ interests lie, and answers their questions. One aspect of Children’s Day that many students find especially intriguing is “koinobori.� Koinobori are windsocks in the shape of carp (koi) that represent each member of the family and symbolize determination and vigor, with the ability to overcome obstacles to reach your destination. Japanese families mount their koinobori high on poles outside their homes. Businesses also display koinobori. Ofstedal says, “When you drive around Japan this time of year, you see the big windsocks flying

above buildings everywhere.� When the koinobori catch the wind, they shimmy and look as though they are swimming. If you’re observant, at various times in May, you will notice the 20-foot koinobori that Ofstedal hangs at the baseball field by the school in Preston. An interesting aspect of Children’s Day in Japan is that it is not focused on children alone. It is also a time for children to show respect and appreciation to the adults in their lives — their teachers, parents, relatives and others — that care for them and help them grow up strong and kind, more able to overcome the obstacles they are bound to encounter in life. So now that you know what our Fillmore Central Elementary fourth graders are up to, if a child you know greets you in the morning with a sunny, “Ohayo gozaimasu,� (good morning!) try responding with “Ohayo� in return. Domo!

C ommentary Youth Tractor & Farm Safety Certification By Michael Cruse Extension Educator for Fillmore and Houston Counties The University of Minnesota Extension is pleased to announce the new and improved Youth Tractor & Farm Michael Cruse Safety Certification Program. This program is designed to provide youth ages 14 years old and older the opportunity to learn how to safely operate equipment above 20 horse power. The Youth Tractor & Farm Safety Certification Program includes an online learning experience combined with 2½ days of hands-on training that meet the federal requirements laid out in the National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operations Program. Purpose In 1969, the US Department of Labor declared many agricultural tasks to be hazardous to youth younger than 16. With certain exemptions, employment of youth under 16 for tasks that require operation of a tractor and machinery is illegal unless the youth are certified. By successfully completing this certification program, 14- and 15-year-old youth may legally operate farm tractors and powered machinery for hire, which they otherwise would not be allowed to operate under the U.S. Department of Labor’s Hazardous Occupations Order in Agriculture. Training details This Youth Tractor & Farm Safety Certification Program will be hosted at the following locations: Editorial Cartoon
• June 15 and June 22-23 in Preston and Spring Valley (Fillmore County) • June 19-21 in Caledonia (Houston County) • June 20-22 in Glencoe (McLeod County) The online portion of the training will be made available to students June 1 and must be completed before the students attend their first day of in-person training. The training is designed to cover core content areas including safety basics, agricultural hazards, tractors, connecting and using implements with tractors and materials handling. By federal law, students will be required to pass a written exam and two driving or skills exams to pass the course. Design and implementation of these programs are brought to you by local FFA, implement dealers and agribusinesses. Registration Registration for the program opens May 8 and can be accessed through the program website at http://z.umn.edu/1erz. Registration is limited to youth 14 years old and older and each training location will take a maximum of 20 students. The registration fee for the course is $20. Questions or comments? Interested in more information about the event or registration, please contact the corresponding Extension office and Extension Educator: Michael Cruse, UMN Extension Educator - Fillmore and Houston County; Phone: (507) 765-3896 or email: mjcruse@ umn.edu.

Devil’s Advocate… Live local By Aaron Bishop Harmony, MN It’s Spring! And last week was National Small Business Week (April 30 – May 6). It’s okay if you missed it. I will do my best to convince you that we can live local every week of the year. I am privileged to have been asked to Aaron Bishop speak for the Fillmore Central National Honor Society on the night of the Spring Equinox. I feel I wouldn’t have this opportunity if I lived amid a large city with more people. It makes me hopeful to think of these students coming back to our small communities as nurse practitioners, teachers, engineers, law enforcers, farmers, artists, coordinators, and small business owners. When I stood before these students that evening, I couldn’t help but think that these young men and women are the future destined to live in the society determined by the generations before them. They were all born without a say in what condition their world would be in. Everyone is. The small towns and communities of southeast Minnesota have provided a unique experience that will be reflected in their actions if they move beyond eyesight and earshot for a time. I think it is important for students to leave, for a while at least to go to college, to truly appreciate what we have here and bring back their experiences. I look forward to the time when I can see them again as young adults, bringing their significant others to Bluff Country, and becoming members of an involved community. One of the many reasons Bluff Country is home for me is the visible raw commitment of the residents who live here. From Com-
munity Foundations in these small towns to the dedication parents have for their children (particularly in sporting and academic events!). I see opportunity with small shops and industry in our towns; electricians, plumbers, grocery clerks. We have farmers committed to being good stewards of the earth. We have fair and good and dedicated law enforcement, volunteer firefighters, and EMTs for which I have been eternally grateful for their services on more than one occasion. I see solidarity for our schools, and, when that’s not always the case, solidarity for the students and faculty. I see people willing to discuss productively when differences in opinions or priorities meet. I see neighbors greet neighbors without hostility, even though they have different names on lawn signs. I hear conversation about real issues that we all face together. I see so many wonderful and committed people, not to mention the natural beauty of our region. Our nationally and internationally recognized environmental learning centers, beautiful state and local parks, bike trails, and rivers are just a few of my favorite recreational hotspots to hit up this spring and summer. I’m not saying we live in a Utopia; there are difficulties that arise, of course! But we have committed families and communities ready to face those challenges and productively work out differences. This is a good place to have a home, not merely a house. It’s a good place to live local and invest in the future.

How can we invest locally? Think of each of our small towns as a community investment bank. Some banks have different perks than others, and, the beauty of it all is, you can invest in multiple communities just as you can in multiple banks, so you get all the perks! Living and buying local builds not only our small businesses, it helps our neighbors. Making investments at home in Bluff Country brings a sustainable lifestyle, community growth, and a strong local economy. A parting challenge: although National Small Business Week was last week, I encourage everyone to visit one new shop (restaurant, natural feature or trail, etc.) in Bluff Country each week. That could be 52 new store fronts or hiking trails by this time next year. Bring your family! Our small communities have a future, and I encourage adults to help the future generation recognize the beautiful people, landscape, and opportunities among us. As it goes for people, so it goes for small businesses and communities; it matters where we invest our time and our money. I encourage you to shop local, invest local, and live local. Cheers!

C ommentary One Moment, Please... A couple of good days By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com This past week was full of many memories that satisfied my eternal optimism. Teacher of the Year On Tuesday, the Fillmore County Journal presented the firstever Teacher of the Year award to Mary Hoiland, a 46-year vet- Jason Sethre eran teacher of the Rushford-Peterson School District. For quite a number of years, our staff at the Fillmore County Journal has been talking about how we should move forward with presenting a Teacher of the Year award. The hardest part of
getting a project off the ground is getting started. This past fall, I approached three area business owners and asked them if they would provide something as a gift to give the Teacher of the Year for 2017. All three business owners responded with tremendous support for recognizing area teachers. Jim Hoiness and Brad Hoiness, owners and operators of Rushford Foods, Harmony Foods, and Preston Foods, agreed to provide a $500 gift card. Mike Drury and Michelle Drury, owners and operators of Drury’s Furniture Store in Fountain, agreed to provide a leather La-Z-Boy recliner. And, Cody Koebke, owner and operator of Ody’s Country Meats & Catering in Spring Valley, agreed to provide a Green Mountain Grill (Daniel Boone model).

I have heard from friends in Colombia, Germany and Canada who wonder how could America have elected someone who doesn’t hold dear our values of honesty, compassion and a spirit of welcoming to refugees and immigrants who enrich our country. It is claimed that 90% of innovations in America come from immigrants and CHILDREN of immigrants. Extremely valuable for our future! Already thousands in other
The first-ever Teacher of the Year for 2017 was going to receive a whirlwind of recognition and a number of very nice gifts from these generous businesses. We started running full page ads a couple of months ago, and the nominations for Teacher of the Year started arriving in the mail. When we presented the Teacher of the Year award last Tuesday, May 2, it was an exciting day for all involved. We have a lot of great teachers in this area, and it was an honor to recognize Mary Hoiland for her contributions to building a solid foundation for so many young people over the course of her 46-year career. While it was an outstanding day for Mary Hoiland, I think that day also made everyone else feel like it was a special day for them. The gymnasium was full of Rushford-Peterson students who will remember one of their teachers being recognized for a career of excellence. The R-P faculty will
remember congratulating one of their peers for her years of dedication. The major sponsors will remember how amazed and appreciative Teacher of the Year award recipient Mrs. Hoiland was when she walked up to the podium to receive her award and gifts. There were so many good memories from that one event. That was my Tuesday, and it was a good one. State Capitol Field Trip And, while I had a monstrously busy week at work, my wife had called me Monday to remind that I had signed up to be a chaperone for our daughter’s Fillmore Central sixth grade field trip to the Minnesota State Capitol, Minnesota History Center, and Minnesota Science Museum. While it is a struggle to find work-life balance sometimes, this was an important day. I needed to make that field trip fit in with my schedule, regardless of my workload. So, fortunately, the staff at the Fillmore County Journal
gave me the day off, while they worked diligently on all that goes into publishing the paper each week. And, the field trip was absolutely wonderful! I hadn’t been to the State Capitol of Minnesota since my sixth grade field trip, which was about 31 years ago. It was a great experience, as I became more acquainted with teachers, other parents, and students. My favorite activity was Sportsology at the Minnesota Science Museum. It was so much fun, I want to go back with my whole family. Again, these are memories that make me appreciate the Journal team taking care of business while I was gone for the day. I had great conversations with so many people, such as teachers like Mr. Tollefson, Ms. Kiehne, and Mr. Seibenaler along with parents like Trista Tieskotter, Jerome Illg, Scott Springer, and Jessica Larson. That was my Wednesday, and it was a good one.
countries are afraid to come to our universities, who would bring millions of dollars and blessings, as many would remain here in their professions, as in the past. And I pray Trump will cast aside the foolishness of adding to the wall, and stop slashing good government programs that families rely on. As article in TIME magazine, (April 3) “To the President” by a Muslim American, Olympic medalist, says she is concerned how increasingly many Americans are now provoking fear and hatred towards good Muslim Americans! Shameful! So also I pray that Mr. Trump would recognize the great value we have in the good Mexicans (like ca. 98%) who come here only to make a better life primarily for their children.
And they pay billions in taxes, and cannot get any government loans or grants for their children’s university education, nor can they ever receive any Social Security benefits, though they pay into it all their life here. They take jobs that typical Americans won’t do. In California, without those workers, the fruit and vegetable economy would go bust! We have three very fine families in Chatfield. And there are 14 Mexican workers and their families around Rushford that I have met with, and they are good workers on dairy farms. I pray that we continue being a nation of compassion for the needy, the suffering refugees, and be a people that welcomes strangers, all according to the will of God. If not, we will be
eroding our greatest values as Americans. Every week I speak with immigrants in Rochester, and I encourage you to do the same. Certainly we want them to feel welcome and adopt our good values! Our FBI and Homeland Securities do an excellent job of keeping terrorists out. Refugees go through about two years of screening before they can hope to enter our USA. So I pray that Trump will gain more maturity, wisdom and a heart-filled caring judgement. And let us pray for the wellbeing of all America, that justice and mercy may ring true for all in our land, including the immigrants in our land who serve very important purposes! LET US CHOOSE TO LOVE AND TO CARE!

of Natural Resources are likely and will help promote the trail system. They are seeking nonmonetary support from the cities of Rushford, Peterson, and Rushford Village. More than 90% of the 40-mile trail will be situated within the Village, where a large amount of state land also exists. Mayor Gordon Johnson noted the city can be behind the trail verbally and conceptually and indicated a letter of support could be drafted. In other news, Village administration will be part of a League of Minnesota Cities audit regarding cyber liability on May 18. Reviewing current practices, it was discovered that since 2013, the city had only backed up information on the computer itself, not on an external hard drive or cloud. Previously, the city had backed up data through what was then Ace Communications. The city will now partner with CCS Technologies. The cost is estimated at $35 per month for antivirus and cloud storage, plus a one-time $130 fee for external backup. The firm will also help with PCI and HIPAA compliancy. “We should be in pretty good shape,” noted Councilor Dennis Overland, discussing the

changes. A concern with Tower Ridge Road and a property owned by Jim Schueler was also a topic of discussion at the meeting. Schueler stated that the culvert on the road is plugged and that his property and a $12,000 septic system are in danger of damage from soil sliding down the hill. Schueler indicated that he has an excavator and a brother who is a licensed operator and asked whether they could address the problem at no cost to the city. Mayor Johnson suggested that they put together a proposal for the work, including material removal, and submit it to the city, along with proof of insurance. “Right now, FEMA projects are taking front and center,”

said Johnson at the suggestion of some assistance from Public Works digging out the culvert. “We appreciate the offer, but we will have to make sure the I’s and T’s are dotted and crossed.” “Digging out the culvert will help temporarily. It’s not a solution, but it’ll help,” said Schueler. The council has used the discussion of roads to setup their next road tour, where they will inspect and document all roads within the Village. It’s slated for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 9. City-wide cleanup will happen Saturday, May 13, at the Village Hall. More information can be found in the city newsletter or by calling the Village Hall.

Mosher said he has changed all of his uniform except his equipment belt, but a notable scent remains. Council members said they noticed! Mosher also asked the city to consider buying a trap specifically designed for trapping skunks, which he said is a solid-walled tube, which prevents the skunk from lifting its tail. He explained, “If a skunk can’t lift its tail, it can’t spray.” The council agreed to buy a skunk trap, for approximately $60. Mosher

also informed the council that all of the 16 vehicles he had followed up on regarding expired tabs are now currently licensed or have been removed from the city. The council heard from Margaret Wierson and Mary Anderson on behalf of the Lions Club. They presented a check for $750. DJ Start accepted the check, saying, “Thank you very much; it’s very appreciated.” Wierson also asked about Section 116.14 of the city’s code, pertaining to lawful gambling, which states in part, “Each organization licensed to conduct gambling within the city shall expend 35% of its lawful purpose expenditures on lawful purposes conducted within the city’s trade area.”
Hyrkas assured them that this is being followed by all applicable groups, with donations generally equally split between police/firefighter/first responders funds.

Local woman raises EDS awareness By Barb Jeffers You may not see it by looking at her, but Hannah Wingert lives with pain every day of her life due to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. If you have never heard of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome you are in the majority, which is why Wingert wants to spread the word hoping to help as many people as she can. Wingert, who is a member of the Fillmore County Journal family as a reporter states, “May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Awareness month and it is especially a big deal this year, as the International EDS Symposium published the new classifications for EDS in the American Journal of Medicinal Genetics in March” of 2017. “Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that affects your collagen,” says Wingert. “Your collagen is basically the glue that holds your body together, so when that is faulty nothing in your body works right,” she explains. “You’re basically falling apart from the inside,” she states. This faulty collagen affects several body parts, some of which include skin, muscles and ligaments, and normally causes hypermobility. “Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a collection of genetic disorders that affect connective tissue. Because it is a genetic syndrome, it is present at birth, rather than being developed later in life. Symptoms may present at any age,” according to Wingert. “A parent with EDS has a 50% chance of passing the syndrome on to each of their children,” says Wingert. Wingert and her husband, Steve, have four children. “So far I am at three out of four and the fourth one might have it,” states Wingert. Neither Wingert’s husband, parents or her four siblings have EDS. There are many types of EDS as Wingert explains, “The American Medical Journal of Genetics released the new classifications and criteria for EDS
on March 15, 2017. Previously, there were thought to be six types of EDS, but the classification has been extended to 13 types. Each affects different areas of the body,” but share some similar symptoms between them. Hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (HEDS), the type that Wingert and three of her children have been diagnosed with, is the most common type and “the only one that does not have a genetic blood test available for diagnosis yet. Because of that, it is clinically diagnosed, usually by a geneticist,” states Wingert. There is no cure for EDS, but Wingert says, “Diagnosis is still important, as treatment and preventative care can be used to help slow the progression of the disorder” and things such as staying as active as possible and doing the right kind of exercises can help, but too much or the wrong kind of exercising can have the opposite effect. Wingert was finally diagnosed on March 31, 2016 when she was 30 years old. “It was a huge moment,” she says, after years of feeling like something was just “not right” and getting no answers, she was so relieved to have a definite answer — a diagnosis — even if it was not a good one. “My whole life I had these weird symptoms,” says Wingert, and was often told the symptoms were in her head. “It’s like you have the flu every single day of your life with constant pain and fatigue and overall just not feeling good,” explains Wingert. “The problem with EDS is that the symptoms are different in everybody, so it can be really hard to pin that down if you don’t know exactly what to look for,” says Wingert, and there is so much more that needs to be learned about EDS by the medical community. “Very few doctors know about it,” states Wingert as she says, “I have had doctors ask how to spell it and have
to Google it while I was in the room — that is how little is known about this disease” and the number of people suffering with it. “There is not enough research done on the disease because it is still listed as a ‘rare’ disease, even though it’s not rare — it’s just rarely diagnosed,” states Wingert. “One of the first things they look at for EDS is hypermobility,” states Wingert, and pain in the legs which is most often misdiagnosed as “growing pains” by many doctors. Some of the conditions associated with EDS include Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), IBD, Dysautonomia, scoliosis, Raynaud’s Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, MCAS, depression, arthritis, Chiari Malformation, TMJ, and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) and asthma. According to Wingert, there are many ways that those suffering with EDS are affected, saying, “The list is long, but the most common ways are joint hypermobility and pain, easy bruising and scarring, joint dislocations and subluxations, digestive issues, hypotonia, muscle spasms, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, sleep issues, clumsiness, flat feet, heart issues, migraines, and much more,” and many of those with EDS rely on mobility devices such as wheelchairs, walkers and canes. Wingert just recently acquired a cane for assistance when needed. Wingert says her EDS has

The council discussed a request from a local business owner to consider lowering the “water base rate” for the business, since the water usage is similar to most households. Hyrkas had forwarded the question to Mike Bubany and Brian Malm for their thoughts. The consensus was that the city should consider establishing a policy on this, but with the awareness that if base rates are lowered, the city would need to adjust the “usage rate” upward to cover the costs. They also pointed out the city would need a standardized system of
what “look-back” period would be used to determine current rates. No action was taken at this time. The council voted to pay a $68,000 invoice from Bolton & Menk for the design phase of the infrastructure project. Jones stated, “I wish they’d give us more detail” regarding what costs went into the invoice total. Council members agreed they’d like more detail in the future, and will ask Bolton & Menk to supply more information with the invoices. Hyrkas stated that she’s been looking into the possibility of reestablishing a Meals on Wheels program in town. The next regular meeting of the council will be Tuesday, June 6, at 6 p.m. The public is welcome.
been “progressing very quickly” the last couple years and “there is never a moment without pain” throughout her day. Wingert says, “One of the ways I manage to cope is my kids have this too — they are going to watch me learn how to deal with this disease and I want them to see that just because they have this doesn’t mean they can’t live their lives as they want to,” for the most part. “There are some things they will never be able to do but you have to focus on things you can do and you have to have a good outlook on life overall,” states Wingert. “Some days you want to sit there and have a pity party but then you have to get back up and keep moving,” Wingert says, but also be aware that overdoing it may set you back and create more problems down the road. “I do have a very supportive family in the area and that helps a lot,” notes Wingert. Since her and her children’s EDS diagnosis, Wingert has made it her mission to research
the disease and “to educate as many people as I can,” she says. She began her website, sunshineandspoons.com, two weeks after she learned she had EDS as “awareness is so important” because “people don’t know they have it,” says Wingert. “I have actually turned this into kind of a business as well,” states Wingert, explaining “I actually sell t-shirts and have a shop online with different designs and stuff and a lot of them have designs for raising awareness for EDS so I am able to help spread awareness through that, as well,” as various other online avenues. She uses her website for EDS awareness saying, “I write about a lot of different things, but a lot of it is about EDS and through that I have been able to help other people get diagnosed and help others deal with the EDS so that is how I deal with it — by turning it into something good,” said Wingert.

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal. com They are the top dogs of the TRC (with a small asterisk). Courtesy of a 3-0 week, Chatfield softball (10-0) is yet to taste defeat. Mark Eickhoff’s girls started by beating L-A 11-3. The Cardinals actually led 3-0 thru 2 ½ innings. Chatfield then got solo home runs from Eryn Radcliff and McKenna Daniels, the lat- The Trende ter’s third Report of the season (ties Belle Berg for team l e a d ) . T h e y scored the game’s last 11 runs for Paul Trende the 11-3 v i c t o r y. Daniels, a freshman, led the charge (3-4, HR, 2 RBI, 2 R, 7 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, Win). Radcliff (2-4, HR, 2 RBI, 2 R), Lexi Chase (3-4, 2B, 2 R), and Shelby Isensee (2-3, RBI, 2 R) also had multiple hits. No Gopher batter struck out. Chatfield (#5 in AA) then re-matched last year’s 1AA East final game at Cotter (#4 in AA). The Ramblers top pitcher Isabel Northrup didn’t play (broken hand). The Gophers took advantage, racking up 14 hits. A four-run third put the Gophers up 7-2. They prevailed 12-4. Sophomore Carissa Campbell (2-4, 2 RBI, 2 R) hit her first home run (solo
shot). Isensee (3-5, RBI) and Berge (3-5, R) had three hits. Berg (2-4, 2B, RBI, R) and Haley Goetzinger (2-4, 2B, 2 RBI, R) had two. Freshman Chase (7 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 6 K, 2 BB) snagged the win. The Gophers then took on La Crescent. Carlie Berge’s 9-K, four-hit, shut-out highlighted a 5-0 win. Britney Fretland (2-3) had a pair of RBI-singles. Isensee (1-2, 2 R) and Campbell (1-3) each had an RBI-single. Chatfield leads GMLOK (8-1) in the West with some breathing room. The Bulldogs sole loss is to Chatfield and they have yet to face Cotter. The Gophers boast a team batting average over .400 (eight home runs). They’ve struck out 25 times in 353 plate appearances (once every 14 at bats). Six of Chatfield’s first seven batters are freshman or sophomores. Three freshman pitchers are 3-0.
Falcon Baseball Wins First Seven
A season ago, FC/L baseball won its seventh game of the season on May 20. On April 27, in just seven games this season, the Falcons have gotten to seven wins. Pitching was the key in wins five and six. Cole Schwichtenberg tossed a complete game shut-out (4 H, 4 K, 0 BB, Win) in an 11-0 win over R-P. An 8-run seventh broke open a 3-0 game. Collin Scott (3-4, RBI, 2 R), Josh Peters (3-4, RBI, R), and Logan Corson (3-5, RBI, 2 R) each had three hits, Cody Schoenemann (1-3) three RBI. Ben Ansell (2-3) had half of
R-P’s hits. Scott then took the mound versus GMLOK. He pitched a one-hitter (6 IP, 2 BB, 2 K, Win), giving up a first inning unearned run, setting down eleven straight to end the game. Bulldog pitching walked eight. FC/L posted an 11-1 (six inning) win. Schwichtenberg (3-3, 3B, RBI, 2 R), Colten Kraling (2-4, two 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R) brought the biggest bats. J-Peters (2-3, RBI) and Schoenemann (1-3, 2 RBI) helped. Zach Myrhe (1-2, RBI) led the Bulldogs. On a frigid night, the hot Falcons used walks, errors, and hits to dispatch D-E 18-2 in five. Corson (3-4, 2B, 2 RBI, 3 R), Walker Ward (2-3, 2B, 3 RBI, R), Schwichtenberg (2-3, 2B, 3 RBI, 2 R), Scott (2-3, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R), and Riley Means (2-4, RBI, 3 R) had multiple hits. Corson (3 2/3 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 4 K) got a reliefwin. FC/L finally lost to end the week. Versus #15 (AA) St. Charles, a 6-run Saint fifth led to a 9-4 win. Scott (2-4, 2 RBI), Kraling (2-4, RBI), and Schwichtenberg (2-4, 2B, R) led FC/L. Keith Larson’s team (6-1, 7-0), who’ve received state votes, trail #17 Caledonia (7-0, 8-1) in the TRC-East.
Hot Shots
GMLOK softball continued their best-ever start with a 3-0 week. Alayna Meskill collected all three wins. Gretchen Corson hit two home runs in a win over L-A. The Bulldogs (8-1), who’ve received votes in the state AA polls, are TRC top three with #5 Chatfield (10-0) and #4 Cotter (10-1, 11-3). Jake Mandt (who went 4-for-4) and Robert Crouch combined for two-hit shut-out in a Chatfield 8-0 win over Cotter. R-P’s Ben Ansell (St.
Charles) and Ethan Anderson (W-K), FC/L’s Anna Jorgenson (St. Charles) hit home runs in losing causes. RPH senior Ashley Agrimson pulled the jump trifecta (1st High/Long/ Triple Jump) at the La Crescent Invite. Leah Ruen (800), Kaylee Arndt (1,600) and Kiera Olson (3,200) of LFC swept the girls individual distance races. GMLOKS track had five mixed relays take first at the BP Coed Invite. GMLOK’s Drew Copley pitched 6 1/3 innings of one-hit baseball, but L-A scored three in the bottom of the seventh for the walk-off 3-2 win. FC’s Connor Morem shot a 39 in Harmony.

By Karen Reisner At the May 1 meeting of the Preston City Council, approval was given for payment in full to Ledegar Roofing, a total of $80,649 pending a satisfactory inspection by the architect on Wednesday. The work on the city hall roof was completed this last week. The total includes an additional cost of $520 to replace 160 square feet of deteriorated wood decking. City Administrator Joe Hoffman said there was almost no insulation in the old roof. Now, with adequate insulation the energy efficiency of the building should be greatly improved. Hoffman noted the mural was delivered this day. It may be mounted after the scaffolding is down. The total project includes the roof replacement, exterior wall insulation system and painting, canopy and lighting, retaining wall, sidewalk, sign, and a small amount of interior work. A rough estimate of the total cost is about $175,000. Hoffman explained he will put together a number of options for how to best fund the city hall improvements. Preston Public Utility will cost share $43,000 or more. Hoffman noted the EDA development fund is funded by tax dollars and a portion of that fund would be one option to pay for the project without taking funds from the city’s General Fund. Councilman Robert Maust suggested the improvements, because of their expected longer life, could be funded from the Capital Improvement fund. 2016 Audit Jason Boynton, Smith Schafer and Associates, presented a summary of the city’s 2016
Randi Berg, MD
audit. The city received an unmodified “clean” opinion on the 2016 financial statements. General tax levy revenues contributed 36% of the total governmental revenues. Local Government Aid represented 23% of the total revenues. LGA had increased less than $500 over 2015. The city’s General Fund reserves equal 63% of the annual general fund expenditures. This is 14% lower than 2015 when reserves were 77% of general fund expenditures. Capital improvement reserve has a fund balance of $345,365. All bonds are being paid on a timely basis and debt service funds are adequately funded. Electric and Water funds generate sufficient cash from operations to meet annual debt service and capital purchases. However, the Sewer Fund is not generating sufficient cash from operations to meet debt service obligations. Hoffman noted that sewer rates have been raised each year, but sewer sales are decreasing especially for the larger customers who have become more efficient. The Storm Water Drainage Utility Fund shows a deficient before transfers. A motion to accept the audit was approved.
Other business in brief • A variance request from Alton Erickson, Brownsville St. NW, for an addition to his house was approved as recommended by Planning and Zoning. He plans to build a 10 foot by 18 foot covered porch over the existing patio. The variance allows for a 7-foot setback. City code requires a 15-foot side setback and a 20-foot setback from low density residential zones. • A motion to repair a 2009 Silverado pickup owned with the Preston Utility was approved. The pickup has a broken frame. Insurance will pay for parts and labor in the amount of $7,144 for a full frame replacement. A $250 deductible will be paid by the city. City staff recommended that the Utility buy out the city’s share of the repaired truck, valued by the insurer at $19,000. The motion approved included an offer to the Utility to buy the city’s interest in the vehicle for $8,500. • A request from Dan Christianson for the city to contribute $506.22 for the alley portion when the bank seals and stripes its lots was discussed. Hoffman was directed to check the city’s alley policy. No action was taken this day. • The appointment of Chad Grabau to the Park Board was approved.

The 2017 Senior Class Trip By Elayna Kiehne Not too long ago, the Fillmore Central senior class was on their yearly trip out east. Being a senior myself, I also went on the trip. We had a fabulous time and got to see many great, and not so great, Elayna Kiehne parts of our c ou nt r y. Our four locations were Chicago, Gettysburg, Washington, and New York City. On the first day, we boarded the buses at four in the morning! We got to sleep after boarding, but that was all the rest time we got. Because after our tour guide joined us, it was go, go, go from there on. Our first stop was Chicago, Ill. We didn’t spend much time here, but there was still quite a bit to see. The outskirts of Chicago were, not gonna lie, kind of sketchy. There was graffiti on all the trains and lots of half-built/ half-torn-down buildings. But downtown, the architecture was magnificent! The most memorable part of Chicago was the “Bean” (even though we learned that it’s official name is Cloud Gate). The person who made the statue made it to resemble molten metal. So when they welded it, they blended all the seams to look like one giant piece of metal. Day two, and we headed to Pennsylvania. For all the his-
tory buffs, this was cool, but personally, I found it to be spooky. We walked the battlefield at night, and I’m pretty sure a ghost was following us. Because afterwards, we played the Ouija board and there was definitely a presence. The hotel was creepy, as well. I had to sleep by the window and I was very surprised that no axe murderers attacked me in my sleep. Probably the best part of Gettysburg was the food. It was a relatively small town and had a great burger place that reminded me of our very own B&B Bowl. After a few days we were off yet again, and now to our beloved capitol. Washington, D.C. shocked me as a whole. You see, the Washington monument is a very tall structure, but it’s a law that no other building can be taller than it. So the skyline of Washington was very bland. The buildings all looked the same, too. They were all a grayish cream color and perfectly square with small windows. Washington was a very big city, but what surprised me is how clean it is. There are trees and flowers and grass everywhere. It doesn’t have any gross city smells either. I definitely took this cleanliness for granted when we went to New York. New York City was the last stop on our trip. Now when you see movies about New York, or pictures, it’s all made out to make New York City seem so big and grand. In reality it’s not
that way at all. We took the train into the city and right when we got off, the gross atmosphere hit me. There was trash everywhere and the air reeked badly of pee. Homeless people scattered the streets and subways as well. And if Rochester thinks they have a crow problem, well, you should see the pigeons in New York. They’re everywhere! Not only that, but they poop everywhere too! Despite all this, New York City was still one of my favorite places on the trip. There’s so much diversity packed into just a small piece of land. There were so many wonderful sights to see and people to meet. In just one day, I walked over 15 miles sightseeing. I also made many new friends in New York. I was scared at first because I thought New Yorkers were jerks who talked funny, but everyone I met was surprisingly very helpful and nice. The one thing I loved about New York the most was the art. There are street musicians at every turn, and people making street art at nearly every corner. All in all, this experience was fun, and eye opening to learn fun facts about the history of our country. But the only thing that made this trip stink, literally, was everyone farting on the bus.

Lanesboro plans to observe Arbor Day this year By Hannah Wingert Lanesboro Mayor Autumn Johnson read a proclamation at the May 1 city council meeting declaring that Arbor Day would be honored in the City of Lanesboro on Saturday, May 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to work to protect our trees,â&#x20AC;? she said. Lanesboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial advisor, Mike Bubany from David Drown Associates, recommended that the council approve his recommendation for the issuance of bonds to pay for the Autumn/Zenith road project. The estimated total for the bonds would come to 1.4 million dollars, and the first year
of collection would be 2019. He advised the council to move quickly, as the interest rates quoted were only guaranteed for the present and could easily change. The council approved the recommendation. Bubany will be advertising for bids and then presenting them at the June council meeting. City Attorney Tom Manion will draft a city ordinance addressing Sunday liquor sales and presenting it to the council at the next meeting for approval. The bill passed by the Minnesota Senate allowing sales of alcohol on Sundays will take effect on July 2, 2017. Police Chief Matt Schultz

informed the council that the Lanesboro Police Department has responded to 197 service calls so far in 2017. Many of those calls were door checks to make sure all of the doors of local businesses were locked after hours. The business owners have been very grateful for that service. Notices have been sent to all area business to update their contact information so that the department can get in touch with them if there is an issue at their business. Two new police officers were recently hired for the Lanesboro Police Department. During the relief portion of the April 13, 2017 Fire Department meeting, it was decided to increase the pension amount by $250 for the Lanesboro department retirees. The funds for the increase are available so the city will not have to worry about covering the pensions if the fire department could not. The council approved the increase. A resignation was received for an EDA member. The city will advertise for a replacement. City Engineer Brian Malm accepted bids for the Auburn/ Zenith Street Utility Project in April. The lowest bid was from Generation X Construction from Rushford. Malm recommended that the council award the bid to them, which they did.

Upon reviewing the lease for the Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce, it was noted that the city has one copy and the Chamber has another, but neither has the original signed copy of the lease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to bring it up to date and all get on the same page,â&#x20AC;? City Administrator Michele Peterson said. The council reviewed the lease and approved it after clarifying that the tenant is responsible for landscaping and upkeep of the exterior of the building. The council reviewed ordinance 330.061, which pertains
to the design and review of retaining walls and ordinance 31.70, which explains the public utility commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority. Both ordinances were approved. The council approved a motion to change Elmwood Street East to a one-way street. Peterson noted that every single response she had to the proposed change was positive. Manion will draft an ordinance for approval at the June city council meeting. The next Lanesboro City Council meeting will be held on June 5 at 5:30 p.m.

Good news for Fountain’s Waste Plant woes
The Fountain City Council received good news on the status of the wastewater treatment plant at the May 3 meeting. Pictured, clockwise from left, are Rick Whitney, Councilors Chad Wangen, Dave Gudmundson, Jim Schott, and Brian Ostby, Mayor Richard Kujath, City Clerk Rhonda Flattum, and Richard Parr. Photo by Kirsten Zoellner By Kirsten Zoellner “Are we in compliance? We’re knocking it out of the park right now,” said Rick Whitney. Whitney serves as the front man for the Wastewater Treatment Plant through PeopleService, whom the city contracted with in September 2012 in effort to help mitigate problems with its aging plant. The city has been out of Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) compliance since October 2016 and submitted a corrective action plan last December through WSB & Associates. Things at the plant are progressing well, as they attempt to get a handle on the situation, and both Whitney and Richard Parr, Senior Project Manager for WSB were on hand at the Wednesday, May 3 council meeting to provide a monthly summary. Parr brought further good news to the city regarding proposed construction costs for the plant upgrades. Initially, the project was estimated at $500,000. Looking at an alter-
nate to the plan, that included the removal of a proposed immersion heater in the plan, the new estimate is $295,000. “There’s big savings in that,” added Parr. Funding for the project is still unknown. WSB had considered several sources including a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development, Minnesota Department of Commerce Port Authority, and a Point Source Implementation Grant. A Water and Waste Disposal Grant Program with USDA may also be in play. Funding from the Public Facilities Authority (PFA) is likely the best financial option for the city, but, “The money doesn’t exist right now,” noted Parr. “If we go down the path of Rural Development, there are more steps.” Even that funding is questionable, with USDA’s fiscal year ending April 30. The city cannot meet the timeline laid out in the corrective action plan due to unsecured funding. Parr indicated he’d spoken with a USDA representative
and they are aware a request for time extension is coming. A new realistic timeline, based on Rural Development funding, is being submitted. “We need to move forward so that if funding becomes available with either of these, we can be ready and jump on it,” said Parr. “It’s the big question mark right now.” If USDA Rural Development is the route taken, bids for the project could be awarded in December. “We don’t have a choice,” noted Councilor Jim Schott. “We don’t have a lot of time here.” Valley Design has been working cooperatively with the city on helping to remedy any effect the company may be having on the plant. Whitney is testing totes brought by the company prior to adding it to the system flow. “There were a few things I saw that I didn’t like, but they’re not an issue anymore. I want to be proactive on what we see coming through.” The council also discussed the possibility of running a septic receiving station where sep-
Magdlin-Gilbertson Auxiliary celebrates 70 years Magdlin-Gilbertson ladies celebrated their 70th anniversary on May 2, 2017, by having a pizza party and cake prior to their regular monthly meeting. Eighteen members were in attendance. A charter was issued to the auxiliary on April 30, 1947. The first officers were: president – Florence Foss, secretary – Lily Hopp, and conductress – Doris Olson. There were 17 charter members. At the present time, the auxiliary has 95 members. The first meeting was held on April 24, 1947. At that time, two meetings were held each month – one for business and one social. Meetings were originally held in the town hall. They were later moved to the basement of the Victory Café.
Meetings are now held at the Preston Servicemen’s Club the first Tuesday of the month. Per capita dues are paid by the auxiliary, as well as donations to various department and national programs such as Hospital and Rehabilitation, Christmas at the Hospital, Health and Happiness Fund, and the VFW National Home. The auxiliary also makes donations to local groups such as the Preston Fire Department, Preston Emergency Services, Preston Community Chest, Post Prom Party, Food Shelf, Christmas in Fillmore County, etc. Cookie plates are delivered to local shut-ins in November in honor of Veterans Day.

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: I want to install a lift kit and put bigger tires on my pickup. I want to comply with all the state laws. What is a bumper height law and the law about tires that extend out past the fenders? Answer: Adding a lift kit and installing bigger tires Troy H. and rims are Christianson very popular on pickup trucks. Anytime you make any type of modification or alterations to a vehicle’s stock suspension and tires/rims, it can change how that vehicle handles, steers, brakes and could affect its overall performance. Below is a list of equipment violations and safety issues that I have seen over the years with modified trucks: Bumper height violations. The law in Minnesota says bumper height must be within six inches of the factory bumper height. The maximum bumper height for 4x4s is 25 inches. Bumpers must be at least four and a half inches tall and must extend 10 inches outside of each frame rail. The height of the bumper shall be determined by measuring from the bottom of the bumper, excluding any vertical bumper attachments, to the ground. A vehicle which has an original bumper which does not exceed a height of 30 inches may be modified by attaching a full width bumper to the regular bumper to meet the height requirement. Tires exceeding past the fenders. Installing wheels that extend past the fenders requires a fender flare. They must be at least as wide as the tires and must have a clearance of not more than nine inches from the ground when the vehicle is empty. Speeding due to larger tires/ rims. The speedometer is reading how many revolutions the tires are making, not how fast they are spinning. With larger tires the circumference of the tires are larger, meaning the distance around the tire is longer, so with each revolution you are travel further than before. Now,
Page 19
the actual speed of the vehicle is higher than the speedometer reads. It will be lower if smaller tires/rims are installed. I recommend stopping at a local auto/tire shop and they can advise on how much your speedometer would be off. Higher risk for a rollover crash. By increasing the vehicle’s height, it will increase the vehicle’s center of gravity, making it less balanced. This could be a problem when taking sharp turns, as a higher center of gravity gives the vehicle a tendency to lean more, increasing the chances of rolling over or losing control. Additional modifications may be needed to correct this. Make sure to read the lift kit manufacturer’s instructions when installing it yourself or have it professionally installed. Braking, steering issues, reduced blind spots and overall safety of your vehicle. By adding larger tires and rims, the stock brake system may need to be upgraded. The front suspension may need bigger and stronger parts. Taller vehicles may increase your blind spots, as smaller vehicles may be less visible. Adding larger mirrors, relocating the current mirrors or adding a blind spot mirror to help see vehicles in blind spots might be necessary. It is highly recommended that you consult with a professional mechanic before modifying a vehicle to assure it is safe and complies with all state laws. 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.
Drinking Water Week May 7-13, 2017 YOUR WATER To know it is to love it.
The Fillmore SWCD thanks our local Public Water Supplier partners for providing safe, clean drinking water to residents in our towns for a reasonable cost. Did you know that a 16-ounce bottle refilled with city tap water every day for a year would cost about 46 cents for the whole year? Buying a bottle a day (at a cost of a dollar a bottle) would cost $365. (Source: MN Department of Health)

idea that small change adds up. Currently, the program gives away about $9,000 each year to local organizations,â&#x20AC;? says Brenda Tesch, MiEnergyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public relations director. Tesch explains the cooperative continues to work to get the word out about the program because as the number of participants increases, so does the amount the program is able to donate to causes in our local communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the majority of members participated, we would have nearly $100,000 to grant each year,â&#x20AC;? Tesch states. The Operation Round Up Trust Board chooses where the funds get donated and the amount of the donation based on an application process. The trust board members include: Tom Tibor, of Minnesota City, Minn., president; John Bronk, of Winona, Minn., vice president; Margaret Knutson, of Houston, Minn., secretary/ treasurer; Larry Hafner, of La Crescent, Minn.; Allen Hanson, of Preston, Minn.; Miriam Harstad, of Harmony, Minn.; Arlene Hegge, of La Crescent, Minn.; Janelle Mahr, of Lime Springs, Iowa; and Shannon Schmelzer, of Cresco, Iowa. Donations to Operation Round Up are tax deductible. Organizations receive grants
5,700 miles of power lines covering most of Fillmore, Houston and Winona counties in Minnesota and Chickasaw, Howard and Winneshiek counties in Iowa. The cooperative also serves small pockets bordering those counties. It provides electricity to more than 18,600 members in northeastern Iowa and southeastern Minnesota. MiEnergy is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative.
