The Tuesday, May 3 Rushford Village council meeting, a continuation of the April 19 meeting, went without a hitch as the council tackled several road and bridge items, as well as the hire of a new city clerk. The full council was in attendance.

Bolton & Menk engineer Josh Pope was on hand at the meeting to detail bids received for road improvements to be done in south Rushford this year.

There were two bids received for the project, which yielded better pricing. The low bid of approximately $665,000 came from McHugh Excavating of Onalaska, WI. Dunn Blacktop was the second bidder.

The project was bid with a base project and alternates A and B. Alternate A, full removal and replacement of culverts on

Riverside

Prospect Street, was intended to address drainage concerns in the area and comes with a price tag of $37,000. Pope acknowledged the alternate was a difficult portion of the project to determine best course of action. If the city would be addressing the culvert and drainage issue more indepth within the next five years, Pope recommended the city not move forward with Alternate A. However, the culverts are currently in poor to fair condition.

Should the city wait, and the culverts fail completely in that time, the project would be mandatory and considerably more costly.

After some discussion, it appears there is not time for the city to do an in-depth drainage study at this time. “We know snippets, but not the full details,” noted Pope referring to the drainage issues. “It’s not the easiest of decisions.” Pope indicated that if a full storm water analysis is

done, the city is likely looking at installation of storm drains.

“You’ve got to have a place for the water to go.”

“It could come back to bite us if we don’t do anything,” noted Mayor Gordon Johnson. “I think the timing is now. In my mind, we have an opportunity to move forward with a positive plan.”

The council voted unanimously to approve the project, including both alternates. “I’ve heard no negative feedback regarding the goal of what we’re trying to do.

I think it would be foolish to put the blinders on. We’ve got to move forward.”

As the city attempts to keep a grasp on the condition of its roads and bring them into good standing with a maintenance plan, the council has scheduled another full council tour of all bituminous roadways. The tour See APPROVED ROAD Page 2 

The Ostrander City Council met on May 3 for a regular meeting. Members present were Erin Brugh, Pam Kunert, Mayor Pat Nesler, and DJ Start. Clerk Chris Hyrkas and Heidi Jones were absent. Insurance agent Ann Keim addressed the council regarding the city’s insurance coverage renewal, and she noted that the city has one less truck than before. She also asked the council to decide whether or not to waive the statutory tort limit, which is something each city must decide annually. She

explained that if the limit is waived, then the city could be sued for any amount, so she said there’s really no reason to waive it. The council voted to not waive the limit.

Fire Chief Brian Miner gave a report on activity for the fire department. He said there were only two fire calls for the month.

He also informed the council that there’s a used fire truck he’s been looking into purchasing. He said it’s a 1992 pumper truck, and in good condition, with a value of about $15,000.

He said if the city could buy See FIRE TRUCK Page 13 

Lanesboro celebrates EMS week

The Lanesboro City Council met for their regular meeting on May 2, at 5:30 p.m. All council members were present. The consent agenda was approved and included the minutes of the last meeting, accounts payable, and the fire lane ordinance.

Police Chief Matt Schulz informed the council that the police department will be filing tickets electronically instead of hand-writing them. He and City Administrator Michele Peterson are working on numbering the city ordinances so tickets for them can also be filed electronically. He anticipates that they will all be ready to go

by June.

City Works Director Andy Drake asked the council to approve a proposal and bid to finish the outside of the city

shed. The proposal was passed.

Councilman Jason Resseman informed the council that Gerry Evenson resigned from the Public Works Commission on April 27. It was decided that councilman Tom Dybing will fill Evenson’s seat until his term is up at the end of 2016, at which time a new commissioner will be elected. Resseman will continue to be a council liaison for the Public Works Commission.

The EDA updated their ordinance concerning the number of people on their board. The board will now consist of seven members, two of whom will be city council members as required by state statutes. Councilman Tom Smith and Mayor Robin Krom will serve on the EDA board to fill the requirement.

The EDA has been discussing where to set salaries for each of See EMS WEEK Page 7 

Fillmore County Engineer Ron Gregg regarding being placed on the State Aid Bridge List, but at the time, that’s not an option.

Funding mechanisms for the project will need to be determined by the city if a bridge for the roadway must be pursued.

“It’s not sounding good, by any means,” added Pope.

The release of the Tuff Lane Bridge contract has been approved unanimously by the council.

Public Works/Maintenance and the city engineer visited the project site, which was deemed substantially complete in 2015. The finish work is also now complete and the project was recommended to be closed by engineers and final payment application of $12,345.75 be made to contractors.

Pat Bailey, from Minnesota Department of Health, was also present at the meeting to discuss part two of the city’s Wellhead Protection Plan. According to Bailey, the Safe Water Drinking Act prompted the drive to protect wellheads for municipalities. Part one of the plan, delineation of the area that needs protection was done in 2015. The area was modeled and mapped and three areas of vulnerability were determined.

As the area is largely wooded and not developed, part two of the plan includes primarily education and what Bailey deemed, “due diligence” for the future. Part two also includes a hypothetical plan if both wells were non-functioning.

is scheduled for Tuesday, May 10, beginning at 6 p.m.

An April 22 meeting was held with city Public Works/Maintenance employees Travis Scheck and Hamilton Peterson, Josh Pope, and representatives from the Department of Natural Resources regarding the future of a crossing on Benson Lane. The roadway is located off Airport Road north of the City of Peterson and currently has a ‘Missouri’ crossing, which water can flow over during periods of excessive rainfall. The crossing needs replacement, but what that replacement will be is a sticking point between the city and the DNR. According to Pope, the DNR wants a bridge to replace the crossing; much like was recently done on Tuff Lane, including construction with large box culverts. “We got them to back down a bit on replacement of the crossing. They know funding is not readily accessible,” stated Pope. “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to change their stance.”

Pope also stated that it’s possible a series of circular culverts may be allowed, but just what the size and hydraulic capacity of those culverts would be in unknown.

The DNR and the Army Corps of Engineers will need to issue permitting for the project, so the city is limited by what ultimately be approved.

C ommentary One Moment, Please...

Internet speed not a high priority

By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com There’s been a lot of chatter about how our Internet speeds are too slow in greater Minnesota.

Without a doubt, as a point of comparison between R o c h e s t e r Jason Sethre and small communities in this region, there’s a tremendous disparity.

In the big city of Rochester, people pay less and get more -for obvious reasons. They have a larger population base.

But, what people often fail to consider is that the investment of establishing an infrastructure costs so much more in rural markets without the population to support a substantial return.

As Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton continues to push for faster Internet speeds throughout greater Minnesota with his recommendation for a $100 million Border-to-Border Broadband Grant Program and his support for the Governor’s Task Force on Broadband, chaired by Margaret Anderson Kelliher, brick-and-mortar structures are crumbling on Main Street in small town Minnesota.

A few weeks ago, Kallie Rollenhagen, Communications Coordinator of S.M.I.F. (Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation), stopped by the Fillmore County Journal to Editorial Cartoon

become more acquainted with our newspaper and introduce herself for future correspondence. During her visit, she asked me where I felt S.M.I.F. should invest resources in the communities they serve. Excellent question!

As I expressed in my response, I told her that I feel that there is too much emphasis on increasing our Internet speeds in greater Minnesota. I have never heard of a single business not opening their doors in Fillmore County due to slow Internet speeds.

In our company, we are processing a huge amount of data via the Internet, so we are well aware of download and upload speeds. And, besides the Fillmore County Journal, we also have SMG Web Design, Visit Bluff Country Magazine, and Perfect Glossy utilizing resources within the company. So, our business is a good test of Internet speed resources in this region with multiple users and consistent large file transfers.

The majority of business owners in our small communities have a hard time justifying an investment in a new roof, tuck point, new siding, new windows, and everything else involved in protecting the guts of the operation. When business owners purchase these buildings, the reality is that they are only worth so much money. Business owners don’t make a ton of money on these buildings, since they don’t increase in value like they do in the big city. In some cases, they may even go backwards

on the deal depending on what they paid for the building at the time of purchase.

I’ve seen, firsthand, numerous situations in which people have purchased downtown businesses in communities throughout this region with no intentions of ever opening a storefront. Instead they purchase the building, and live on the second floor. When you can purchase a commercial building for $15,000, $20,000 or even $35,000 and live in the 1,200 square feet on the second level, that’s a pretty good deal.

In most cases, you can’t find move-in-ready houses for that price.

And, quite simply, this undermines the value of our business districts. We have pseudo storefronts. Blank canvases of desertion. Drive downtown in any of our communities, and you’ll see empty spaces.

Most of the communities never address the issue, because we don’t want to make a fuss. But, I digress. This is a different topic for another day. Back to broadband.

All things considered, the Governor, S.M.I.F., and the Economic Development Authorities of greater Minnesota really need to focus financial resources on the rehabilitation of buildings in the business districts of these small towns.

Make small town Minnesota look great today and fill the storefronts.

If you ask me, don’t waste $100 million on increasing Internet speeds. Direct those funds toward the aesthetics of small town Minnesota. There’s no sense in increasing Internet speeds to dilapidated buildings.

We need to get our priorities straight.

Gas Buddy MINNESOTA, MN, May 2Average retail gasoline prices in Minnesota have risen 9.3 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.09/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,856 gas outlets in Minnesota.

This compares with the national average that has increased 8.1 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.22/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Minnesota during the past week, prices yesterday were 36.4 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 17.6 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 15.9 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 39.3 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on May 2 in Minnesota have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.46/g in 2015, $3.52/g in 2014, $3.60/g in 2013, $3.72/g in 2012, and $3.95/g in 2011.

Areas nearby Minnesota and their current gas price climate: • Wisconsin- $2.19/g, up 7.1 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.12/g.

duction shows signs of slowing and gasoline demand is accelerating. While oil inventories in the U.S. remain well-supplied for now, they are likely to start receding as refiners begin throttling up their operations after maintenance season. Americans appear ripe to consume near record levels of gasoline, if not the highest levels ever this summer with some of the lowest summer prices seen in ten years or so,” said Patrick DeHaan, a Chicago-based senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.

“Gasoline prices in all fifty states saw a rise over the last week- an average of over 8 cents.

While we may not see as such a sharp rise this week, we aren’t out of the woods just yet. Gasoline prices may continue inching up until Memorial Day- a major test if refiners are well-prepared for the summer driving season,” DeHaan added.

its board members. The state requires them to do so, but as the money for the salaries comes out of the EDA budget, they would like to keep them low.

The council voted to approve an annual salary of $15 for each member of the EDA board.

The mission statement for the EDA is currently quite complicated and long. The EDA board is currently working streamlining the statement for clarification.

Deane Benson from the ambulance crew informed the council that EMS week is May 15-21. In honor of that, the crew is planning an event outside of the firehall on May 21 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.. It will include demonstrations by the fire/rescue crew, helmet fittings and bike safety checks by Fillmore County Public Health, on-the-spot water testing, free food, and more. He asked the council to allow the section of Coffee Street by the firehall to be blocked off for the event.

The council approved the street closure.

Lanesboro resident Phil Dybing was present at the meeting to ask the council about applying for detachment from the City of Lanesboro. Currently, he has access to water, electricity, and trash pickup from the city, but does not have gas, sewer, streetlights, or curb and gutter. Due to the logistical challenges that the city

would encounter if they were to improve the area, he would like to submit a formal application for detachment. He was also looking for feedback from the council on the proposed detachment. Mayor Krom said that, while the city is looking at ways to improve the street that Dybing lives on, there won’t be any work done on it this year.

City Attorney Thomas Manion suggested that Dybing file the application for detachment with the Municipal Board. After that is done, a mediation process between the council and Dybing can begin.

Mayor Krom asked the council to consider assembling a short term task-force to put together ideas of how the concept plan for Lanesboro from nationally recognized city planner and designer, Randall Arendt, can continue to move forward.

Krom said that he’s seen other concept plans in Lanesboro fail from lack of attention and would like to avoid that. He would like the task force to present their ideas to the council at the June meeting. Councilwoman Autumn Johnson pointed out that the previous plans were very broad while this one is detailed and specific which means that it is less likely to fail. The concept plan is set to be delivered to the city in May so the council will discuss the matter further at that time.

Curtis Bisek and Nick Charlebois from Two Rivers Brewery and Phil Bailey from Dry Run Distillery were present at the

ANNouNCeS

Monday, May 9, 2016 meeting to discuss their concerns about the proposed Brew Pub and Distillery Ordinance.

They felt that the ordinance was too complicated and restrictive and could set them up for problems with a future council.

They asked whether it would be possible to use the regular city ordinances like other businesses in Lanesboro as long as they have their provisional licensing.

Their breweries will be thoroughly inspected by the state health department, and everything is very strictly regulated so they felt that the ordinance was unnecessary. The council agreed that it is on the excessive side.

Attorney Manion will re-work the ordinance.

Police Chief Schulz asked about a 24-hour parking ordinance for the business and residential areas of Lanesboro. Several council members objected, saying that it would affect local B&Bs and residents who park outside of their homes for several days. Chief Schulz said that the ordinance is meant to prevent junk vehicles from sitting on the street for an excessive amount of time. Mayor Krom pointed out that the city already has an ordinance in place concerning that matter. The discussion was tabled.

The city received a request for a street closure on June 5 for a graduation party. They approved the request.

The public portion of the meeting was closed. The next meeting will be on June 13 at 5:30 p.m.

For a fifth straight g a m e , FCL softball was gnawing right to Paul Trende the end.

Coming off a four-game stretch that saw the Falcons win three straight one run games, then lose in extra innings, FCL pulled off both a 1-run game and extra innings versus GMLOK. The Falcons scored five in the first half inning. The Bulldogs, like versus Chatfield (down 6-0, won 7-6), had to play from behind. The

got a big boost from the Gophergame hero in the fifth. Gracie Schmidt’s 3-run RBI flare-double made it a 6-4 game. GMLOK added another in the fifth. In the bottom of the seventh, Rio Landers reached on an error. Pinch runner Kori Kruegel went firstto-third on a Courtney Fate sac bunt. Lindsay Welch tied the game with an RBI ground-out.

It went to extras knotted at six.

In FCL’s half, Bailey Barnes ledoff with a single, was sacrificed to second, and scored on an Anna Jorgenson RBI single. GMLOK got a G-Schmidt double in the bottom, but the runner was stranded. FCL eked out their fourth straight one-run win 7-6 (FCL: Megan Hendrickson 3-5, RBI, R; Haley Polin 2-4, 2B, 2 RBI; Gabby Brazee 2-4, RBI, R; Caitlyn Walsh 8 IP, Win. GMLOK: G-Schmidt 2-4, two 2B, 3 RBI, Fate 2B, RBI; Kellyn Webster 2-4, R).

This year (taking first), he’s (unofficially) 1-for1 on 100’s, 4-for-4 on 200’s, 7-for-7 on Triple Jumps, and 6-for-7 on Long Jumps.

TZD grant and SHIP projects

By Karen Reisner Brenda Pohlman, health educator, gave a presentation at the county board’s May 3 meeting.

About a month ago she attended a Lifesavers Conference in California.

One session at the conference centered on pedestrian and driver distractions. Distractions can lead to disaster for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Nationally, automobile fatalities are going down, but pedestrian and bicycle fatalities are increasing. Common distractions include cell phones, MP3 players, eating, and drinking.

Pohlman showed a map of Fillmore County and areas where there have been multiple crashes.

These areas need to be looked at to see what can be done to reduce crashes. To date this year there have been two automobile fatalities in Fillmore County and one involving an all terrain vehicle. From 2013-2015 there was an average of 8.3 fatalities and serious injuries in the county.

None of these were speed related, 1.3 were distracted related, 3.3 were alcohol related, and 1.3 were unbelted related.

Pohlman requested and received approval to enter into a grant agreement with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for traffic safety projects.

The Toward Zero Death grant for Public Health will be used to educate the public. She noted that recently there was a mock crash event at Chatfield High School, attended by 300 kids.

The board approved Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) projects for this year. SHIP funds will be used for pedestrian and bicycle education at local events, completion of community supported agriculture work in Harmony, water bottle fillers and sit-stand desks for the county, the jail garden, healthy eating and physical activity at the Lanesboro Child Care Center, enhanced health and physical activity curricula in the Lanesboro School District, and healthy school food and physical activity in the Rushford-Peterson School District.

Other business in brief • Section 739, Agricultural Tourism Business, was approved.

This will be a new addition to the Fillmore County Zoning Ordinance. The section has two categories; those activities in the

CUSTOM FARMING Tillage * Planting * Harvesting

Ag District that are permitted, and those that will require a conditional use permit. Activities include, but are not limited to, non-agricultural events like wedding receptions, fundraisers, a variety of celebrations, barn dances, and food/product/produce tasting and sales events.

Commissioner Randy Dahl said the ordinance may add to our tourism while protecting us from some activities that could be out of control, noting that “Woodstock” would not have been permitted under this ordinance.

Commissioner Duane Bakke, who sits on the Planning Commission, said this ordinance includes a number of activities, so it will not be necessary to have a separate category for each activity. He noted the Planning Commission unanimously approved the ordinance. There was no negative comment from the public.

• Approval was given to reduce the retainage on the city of Peterson project (CASH 25 within the city) from 5% to 2%, making a reduction payment of $28,809.75. County Engineer Ron Gregg said the only thing left to complete is the final bituminous lift, which is expected to be done in mid-June. Gregg said Zenke, Inc. does have a performance bond for the whole contract. He recommended the retainage reduction, saying he didn’t think there will be any issue getting the work done.

Bakke asked Gregg about potential money in the state’s bonding bill for local bridges.

Bakke is concerned that the legislature may fail to provide adequate funding for local bridges in the bonding bill. Can the DFL and the GOP come together in the waning days of the 2016 session? There is a huge difference between Senate DFLers calling for $1.5 billion and House Republicans calling for $600 million to be borrowed for financing public construction projects.

• Approval was given to purchase a new veterans van, a 2016 Ford Transit Connect, to replace the 2011 Dodge van that was totaled out after colliding with a deer. The low state contract bid is $24,729.44. County coordinator Bobbie Vickerman reported that there is about $15,657 in the veterans van fund, about $8,832

in insurance pay out (minus $500 deductible), and $2,000 grant money available that together will cover the cost of the new van. The insurance company will also cover the custom wrap for the van. The van is used to transport veterans to doctor appointments in Minneapolis and Tomah, Wisc.

• Lantha Stevens was appointed to the Area Agency on Aging committee.

• The hire of a temporary summer helper in the Highway Department, not to exceed 67 days, was approved. The temporary position will receive no benefits.

• Mary Maureen Anderson, PHN, will be added to a roster of names for Community Services/Public Health effective May 4. Individuals on this list can be called on when someone is on medical leave or there is some type of emergency situation requiring these professional services.

ST. PAUL – Following news reports that found a number of Minnesota residents had liens placed on their property after they had signed up for health insurance through MNsure, State Representative Greg Davids (R-Preston) is co-authoring legislation that would remove them.

“Once again, the disaster that is MNsure rears its ugly head,” Davids said. “These are people who had no clue that liens would be placed on their estate if they agreed to the coverage MNsure gave them.”

Davids noted that impacted residents had sought affordable insurance in order to comply with the Affordable Care Act law. MNsure gave them only one option – Medical Assistance – and the residents signed up. Later they discovered

that their insurance would be paid for through liens on their estate after they had died.

“Inevitably, this cost their families tens of thousands of dollars because they didn’t see it in the fine print, and MNsure didn’t bother to bring it up with them even though it was the only insurance it selected for them,” Davids said. “This legislation is designed to address this problem.”

Davids said the initiative would require the reimbursement to the estate of any Medical Assistance recipient aged 55 to 64 who received services, other than institutionalization, retroactive to January 1, 2014. He is also supporting legislation that requires estate lien notice and consent to be given to residents before they sign up for Medical Assistance services.

Shady job offer targets area college students BURNSVILLE, MN – April 5, 2016 – Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota ® (BBB) has received the first local report about an employment scam targeting college students nationwide. This scheme first came to the attention of BBB of Cleveland last fall, when they began receiving reports from concerned college students about possible employment opportunities from questionable entities such as Geneve Leasing Company, Worldwide Shipping Solutions and HYDROCK Inc LLC, which is the entity a University of Minnesota student recently reported has been in touch with them about a suspect job offer.

The U of M student recognized the posting from HYDROCK Inc LLC as problematic and some online research led him to a press release issued by BBB of Cleveland last November. A representative from that Better Business Bureau reports that in addition to the report from our region, they’ve received calls about this same scam from Ohio State University, Arkansas Tech and Arkansas State just in the last few weeks. BBB notes there is a legitimate company called Hydrock; however, they are located in England and are not associated with these questionable job offers.

“Many college students are looking for work to bring in money while they earn their degrees and others are looking for their first post-graduate job,” said Dana Badgerow, president and CEO of BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota. “Fraudsters, unfortunately, know there’s opportunity for them, as well, which is why it’s vitally important for students to thoroughly research any employment offers they receive.”

Based on information submitted to BBB, a number of Universi-

ty of Minnesota students received emails from HYDROCK Inc. LLC claiming ‘the position will only require 4-6 hours weekly between Mon- Fri.’ The email further states that the position offers flexibility that allows applicants to choose their hours during the day to avoid conflicts between classes or other employment. However, as with most suspect job offers, scant details are offered as to what the position actually entails.

Bogus job offers have been victimizing job seekers for as long as there’s been a job market. Hopeful applicants typically run across these companies while searching for employment online or through unsolicited job offers after posting their resumes on job sites. While some of the scammers concoct business names, others mimic legitimate companies based here in the U.S. or abroad. Addresses typically provided by the bogus companies either do not exist or are valid addresses at which the scammer is not actually located.

People should always be leery of situations where they receive a check upfront, as this is not how legitimate job offers take shape.

In particular, avoid situations where you’re asked to deposit a check and send funds back to the ‘employer’ or unknown thirdparties. You should not have to pay for an employment opportunity. Job seekers should also watch out for offers to take part in reshipping schemes. Many times, individuals accept these positions not knowing they’re participating in illegal schemes to reship merchandise paid for with stolen credit cards out of the country.

In some cases, fake employment ads or phony job offers are nothing more than attempts to gather the personal information of job seekers for the purpose of identity

theft. You should never provide your Social Security number - or sensitive personal information - to any company until you’ve interviewed with them in person, vetted both the business and the offer thoroughly, and formally accepted the position.

“There are definitely red flags people should be looking for – such as being offered a position without so much as a job interview,” added Badgerow.

Other warning signs of potential employment scams include: • The position involves transferring money or reshipping goods.

• The company is or claims to be located in another country • The position does not list education or experience requirements.

• The offer promises significant earning potential for little effort.

• Emails contain grammatical and typographical errors.

• Company claims to be in business for many years but their website was only recently created.

Job seekers are encouraged to contact BBB in regard to suspect job offers or to research businesses where they’re seeking employment by visiting www.bbb.org or calling (800) 646-6222.

it, the city’s other truck could be kept as a “backup”. He has another option to look at, and will come back to the council with more information at a future meeting. Miner also said he’s got three new firemen starting training next week.

Dustin Tart gave a report on city maintenance, and said he completed the patch-up and reseeding work at Bornholdt’s yard, fixing areas the city had damaged.

He also discussed the additional power brush attachment that was sent by SEMA. Although it was not part of the original order, Tart said it would work really well for clearing off blacktop surfaces.

The council agreed and OK’d the purchase of the additional $138.56 for the brush.

Police Chief Tom Mosher gave a monthly activity report and informed the council on trainings he completed. He also talked of the ongoing detour from Highway 16 south coming through Ostrander, stating that it’s causing additional traffic and noise. He said one day he counted 35 vehicles coming into Ostrander in 30 minutes.

He explained that the detour is expected to end within a week.

Mosher also asked the city to consider buying some new street signs, since some of them are so sun-faded that they are hard to read. He pointed out that this could cause delays in emergency vehicles reaching people in need of help. He estimated twelve signs could be replaced for about $390 total. No action was taken at this time.

In Old Business, it was noted that the city received a letter from Thomas Manion regarding the petition of the Danny Rudd property for annexation. The city attorney advised that other

Page 13

parties are being contacted, and no action is needed by Ostrander until the end of June.

In New Business, the council reviewed photos of the interior of the water tower, and discussed the rust issue. The hydrants will be flushed at a date to be determined, after citizens are given advance notice. The council voted to approve the water tower cleaning bid submitted by KLM for $1,850. The council also discussed an MRWA Line Tracing Training session coming up in Hermantown which may be beneficial since none of the city’s water shut-off locations are noted anywhere. Dustin Tart said he’d spoken with the trainer, and stated, “I talked to him, and he said he could just come over sometime and show the stuff hands-on.”

In Other Business, Mayor Nesler said the Lions Club would like to remove the shrubs at the north welcome sign and either replace them or put grass seed down. The council preferred to have grass seed, and asked Dustin Tart to water it as needed. Mayor Nesler also shared that the Fillmore Soil and Water Conservation District is looking for candidates for District 3 and 4 supervisors. More information is available at the website, www.fillmoreswcd.org.

Pam Kunert spoke about an issue that she’s experienced in LeRoy. She said, “If I’m going to the post office, I shouldn’t have to jump over kids to get my mail.” She explained that some kids play inside the post office while waiting for the school bus. She said she understood the need for this during cold weather, but that it’s continuing to be a problem. Kunert said she called the school about this.

The council discussed this could be brought up to the postmaster as well.

Worship celebration to take place May 15 at Lenora Church The Lenora Pioneer Church Society is happy to announce that the Lenora United Methodist church will be the site for a spring worship service on Sunday, May 15 at 3 p.m. This will be the first worship-oriented event at the historic church in 2016. Worship events are being planned for the third Sunday of each month at the old church. Nancy Dahly, who is a talented pump organist, will offer her musical leadership as people come together to share in worship through song and music. The old pump organ was

restored several years ago, as it is an old instrument dating back to about 1900.

The Lenora United Methodist Church is a historic pioneer church building dating to the mid-1800s and is maintained in keeping with the history of the era. At the Lenora Church one will find an authentic pioneer church building with kerosene lamps, wood stove, and items dedicated to the love of God in Jesus Christ.

Mom

By Tammy Danielson Hooray, hooray, it’s finally May! The first of May holds many meanings depending on who is looking at the calendar. For some it means that it is time to appreciate your mom on Mother’s Day. For many moms, it is a time to reminisce about the day you became a mother and that special bond that was created the day your child was born. It has been three years since my mom passed and, like many of you who have lost a parent, I think of her often

and at times when I least expect to have a memory pop up.

When I was in my late 20s and had not yet met my future husband, I remember sitting with my mom and we were joking that every man I met was either 21 or 41---21 being too young for me to consider dating and 41 probably older than I should consider dating. We laughed again a few months later

Crazy Good Chicken

• 4 thawed chicken breasts • ¼ cup lime juice • ½ tsp cumin • ½ tsp onion powder • ½ tsp chili powder • ½ tsp garlic powder • ½ tsp seasoned salt • ¼ tsp pepper • 3 tbsp oil Mix chicken and all ingredients in a doubled Ziploc bag or glass baking dish---let marinade for 1-2 hours. Remove from marinade and slice breasts lengthwise and in half. These are great on the grill or can be fried inside on that cold day. The best thing? Grab a soft tortilla and add the cooked chicken, fresh cilantro, cabbage, add a bit of Southwestern Ranch dressing and roll it up. For great crunch, put your rolled up tortilla in tin foil and grill for 10 minutes…enjoy!

when the new landline phone number I was issued had the last four digits of 2141. Fast forward to last week when I was looking at a picture frame in my hobby room that had Scrabble tiles on it that spelled out D-I-V-A----guess what the numbers are on those tiles? 2-1-4-1. Wow! I have had that frame for over two years and never noticed those numbers! The day that I noticed the numbers on the Scrabble tiles just happened to be the date in April when my mom passed away. What a wonderful day to remember a great lady!

I often hear of friends and family that have similar experiences with dates, times, or objects that seem to “follow” them in their life and remind them of a loved one who as passed. While having supper with a cousin and my aunt, we reminisced about my uncle who had passed away recently. Ever since the funeral, members of his family have found feathers in unique places where they shouldn’t find them and at events where he would have appreciated going to. A lifelong special bond and possible after-life connection---do you believe? Skeptics would have us believe that we create these scenarios but I believe there are some coincidences that cannot be planned and are up for question. Do you have a connection with someone who has passed on? If it was possible, I bet that most of us would give anything for a brief reconnection with that

loved one who is “on the other side”…maybe your mom?

To all of the moms reading this today, I hope that you had a wonderful mother’s day with your family and celebrated the joy of parenting. Maybe you received a nice card or possibly were gifted a flower growing in a styrofoam cup (my favorite from years past), or maybe you enjoyed

a simple day at home with family making memories.

No matter what you did on Mother’s Day this year, we mothers should not overlook the power of small conversations or interactions our children; that moment might just be the memory that our child remembers the rest of his or her life. Thank you Mom for the memories…

HPC 2016 Preservation Award given to Steve Harmon Each year since 2009 during Preservation Month (May), the Chatfield Heritage Preservation Commission honors an individual, property owner or project with its Preservation Award. The purpose of the award is to raise the visibility of the city preservation program by recognizing significant achievements in the preservation, protection and use of Chatfield’s unique historical and architectural heritage.

The 2016 Preservation Award goes to Steve Harmon in recognition of his outstanding contributions toward the preservation and adaptive use of the historic buildings occupied by the Chatfield Center for the Arts.

A mechanical engineer with an abiding interest in historic building systems, Steve’s work in the history of ventilation

has enabled us to identify and appreciate the heritage resource value of the original HVAC systems in the former Chatfield High School and Potter Auditorium. For the past several years he has worked closely with the city preservation program on the Chatfield Center for the Arts project. His research has made it possible to adapt and reuse many of the early 20th century building systems as components of the new arts center.

In 2014, Steve presented a preliminary report on the results of his Chatfield investigations at the annual meeting of the Construction History Society of America, an international scholarly organization dedicated to the study of the history and evolution of all aspects of the built environment.

By Karen Reisner At the May 2 Preston City Council meeting, two public hearings were called regarding tax increment financing districts.

Shelly and Paul Hanson have requested TIF assistance for their plans to reconstruct the B & B Bowl, including a bowling alley, restaurant, and lounge. Once up and running they intend to employ seven full-time, four parttime and five contracted parttime jobs.

City Administrator Joe Hoffman noted that the EDA has recommended subordinating the Hanson’s revolving loan fund loan position to the primary lender.

The city opted to keep this loan in place after the New Year’s Day

fire. The council approved the subordination of the loan.

The TIF financing is to be on all the Hanson property on that block, including the Brunsvold building. A resolution calling for a public hearing on June 6 was approved. The TIF for rebuilding the facility is to be for 20 years, with the total value of the increment being $125,000.

Hoffman explained that because construction costs for improvements on Dairy & Farm and Gehling have exceeded estimates, the TIF district budget will need to be modified. The TIF plan has a budget maximum for the tax increment over the life of the project. Modifying the TIF district budget will allow the city

council to meet its obligations to the developers.

Hoffman said it is a good thing that the properties are being improved more than anticipated.

Both projects are bigger than we thought they would be. There will be more market value for the future property tax base. A resolution calling for a public hearing on the TIF modification was approved.

Other business in brief • The lease for the council room on Fridays by DVS examiners was extended. The lease was to run out in June. The lease was extended for five years at a standard rate of $20 per day or $1,040 per year, paid by Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services.

There is an option in the lease to extend the lease an additional two years after the five year period.

• A report from architect Terry L. Grubbs on proposed exterior work on city hall was discussed.

Grubbs estimated the total project will cost $348,600. Hoffman noted that it can be done in phases, postponing some items without damaging the building.

The roof is the priority and is believed to be the source of the leaking around the windows.

Grubbs proposed reroofing the west portion of the roof and repairing the east portion. The west portion is in urgent need of reroofing and is estimated to cost $67,565.

Phase 2 of the project would involve installation of elastomeric veneer, insulation, and window replacement on three sides at a cost of $208,923.

Phase 3 involves tuck pointing and brick replacement. This is estimated to cost $72,110.

Councilman Robert Maust asked if the reroofing plan is for a flat roof. He suggested the life of a flat roof is considerably shorter than that of a sloped roof. By consensus, the council authorized Hoffman to spend funds to obtain options for a sloped design.

• Council meeting times over the summer were discussed.

Councilman David Harrison suggested that one meeting per month be moved to a morning meeting over summer months. A motion was made to have the first council meeting of the month at 6 p.m. on the first Monday, with the second meeting to be held on the third Tuesday at 8 a.m. Also, the second meeting in August is to be held on the August 23 (fourth Tuesday) at 8 a.m. The motion was approved with Maust and David Collett voting no.

• The city’s wholesale electric provider is the Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (SMMPA). Dave Geschwind, SMMPA CEO, will explain a possible amendment to the agency agreement at the next Preston Public Utilities meeting on May 10 at 7 a.m. Both the council and the utility commission will vote on proposed changes possibly in the fall. Hoffman said he believes the proposed changes will benefit all members of SMMPA. The amendment will have a minor impact on the city of Preston.

No action was taken. Hoffman encouraged council members to

attend the PPU meeting on May 10.

• Approval was given for the Fillmore County Journal to place

a newspaper box on the sidewalk near the curb outside of the paper’s office. It will be chained to a No Parking sign.

AgStar Fund awards grants to upgrade county fair facilities

More than $65,000 awarded in Minnesota and Wisconsin MANKATO, MN, May 4, 2016 - The AgStar Fund for Rural America, the corporate giving program of AgStar Financial Services, announces the award of $65,600 through its County Fair Facility Upgrade Grant program. Twenty-two county fair programs received grants of up to $3,000 to help improve agricultural buildings on their fairgrounds.

Every county fair organization in AgStar’s 69-county service area is eligible to apply if it has not received a grant in the last two years.

“County fairs enhance rural communities by bringing together multiple generations

in an educational and competitive environment that showcases agriculture,” stated John Monson, Chair of the AgStar Fund’s Board of Trustees. “We’re pleased to help ensure that local fair facilities are ready to host the hundreds of exhibitors and guests who will visit them this summer and in the years to come.”

The 22 Minnesota and Wisconsin organizations receiving grants this year include: Barron County 4-H Junior Leaders; Benton County Agriculture Society; Blue Earth County Fair Association; Brown County Agriculture Society; Carver County Agriculture Society; Colfax Free Fair; Crow Wing County Fair; Dakota County Agricultural, Inc.; Fillmore County 4-H Market Livestock Committee; Le Sueur County Fair; McLeod County Agricultural Associa-

tion; Mille Lacs County 4-H; Northern Wisconsin State Fair Association, Inc.; Pierce County Fair; Pipestone County Fair; Polk County Fair Society Inc.; Rock County Agricultural Society; Sibley County Agricultural Association; Stearns County 4-H; Steele County Agricultural SocietySteele County Free Fair; Waseca County Ag Society; and Winona County Agricultural & Industrial Fair Association.

Since its inception in 2001, the AgStar Fund has donated more than $6 million to organizations working to improve the future of rural America. Support must align with the Fund’s mission of enhancing life in agriculture and rural America.

Ask a Trooper

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: My son is involved in school patrol at his school and I would like to know more about Legionville School P a t r o l Camp.

Answer: There is a lot of information about Troy H. L e g i o n - Christianson ville School Patrol Training Camp. The Camp is where school patrol students are taught the fundamentals of school patrol, school bus safety, bicycle and pedestrian safety. It is located just north of Brainerd, and it operated by the American Legion, using State Patrol Troopers as instructors. I will be one of the instructors again this year.

Students who will be 10 years old before September 1 and not older than 13 years will be accepted. Exceptions to this restriction can be made but must be cleared in advance through the American Legion.

Legionville is currently taking applications.

Legionville will be celebrating 78 years of instruction. It actually started 80 years ago in 1936, but because of World War II, class was canceled in 1942 and 1943. The “old familiar barn” is gone and a new one has been built.

School Patrol training itself was started (informally) back in 1920, when Sister Carmella asked the older boys to help the younger children cross the streets from school in St. Paul.

Earle Brown (former Minnesota Governor and former Minnesota “Highway Patrol” Chief ), formalized the program and got the Highway Patrol (now called Minnesota State Patrol since about 1974) involved with the instruction at the Earle Brown Farm in the Twin Cities. Based on records from American Legion personnel, the training locations also included the Crow Wing County Fairgrounds, Camp Ripley and the present Legionville location north of Brainerd, (southwest of Merrifield).

Besides school patrol and school bus patrol training by troopers, other instructors help complete the week with swimming, canoeing, first aid training and many other activities and games. The camp is a very active place. Parents can pay for their kids to go, even though there are also some limited numbers of scholarships available each year through the local schools, State Patrol Troopers Association, local American Legion posts and many other venues. The registration fee is $275 per student.

This year, weekly sessions run from the middle of June until the middle of August. For registration and camp information go to: http://www.legionville. org/.

A portion of state statutes were used with permission from the Office of the Revisor of Statutes. 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. 559015848. (Or reach him at, Troy.

U of M tillage survey will help track tillage trends The University of Minnesota (U of M), Department of Soil, Water and Climate is partnering with the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and Iowa State University, Department of Agriculture and Biosystems Engineering to develop a long term program to collect tillage data using remote sensing. Fillmore County is one of seven counties in the state selected to test the survey method. The purpose is to develop a long term program to systematically track tillage trends, cover crop adoption and land cover in 67 counties in the state where greater than 30% of the land is dedicated to row crop production. The Fillmore Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) will be assisting with

the data collection.

Over the next few weeks, researchers will visit 300 randomly selected fields after planting to measure crop residue cover and record if cover crops were utilized. The fields will be distributed about every half mile along transect routes throughout the county. The routes are similar to those used in previous years when the data was collected manually by local SWCD and NRCS staff. Each stop will take approximately 10 minutes for the researchers to take measurements of the crop residue in fields on each side of the road in the rows past the headlands.

Two to three staff will be on each team in a U of M-marked vehicle.

The data will be used to ground

truth remote sensing technology (Landsat satellite imagery) that is used in computer models which can then be used to annually assess land cover. This will greatly improve the efficiency for assessing tillage practices and cover crop use without the need for staff to manually collect the data each year. Archived satellite imagery can also be analyzed to assess past practices. All data will be combined for public access via an online portal; however, no individual field data will be available to the public. Funding for the research comes from a legislative appropriation approved in the 2015 1st Special Session.

For more information, contact the Fillmore SWCD at (507) 765-3878 ext. 3 or email donna. rasmussen@fillmoreswcd.org.

We also want to thank the Fillmore Central School District for the use of their facilities and the FC janitorial staff for their assistance during the home tournaments.

The season went very smoothly, and we absolutely could not have done it without everyone’s help!! t9-o ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you very much to TriCounty Electric for the iPad I won in their drawing. I’ll really enjoy using it.

Betty Bigalk t9-x ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A big thank you to my family & all who really surprised me for my 80th birthday party. I was totally surprised! So good to see my family, relatives, & great friends..

The Sat. afternoon scavenger hunt was so fun & thoughtful. I still had Peterson & Rushford to go, to so never thought of anything at the Golf Course. Best cook there, so great idea. I tried to chat with all you but doubt I made it to all, so thanks again for being there. You did a great job Scott, Carrie, Lori & Brad.

Love you & Fred very much, Vaughn B. Nagle t9-x ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you from the bottom of my heart who were so thoughtful to send cards, flowers, calls, fruit baskets, gifts, visits, and just stopped by for a chat along their way. I was so grateful for everyone. I will always remember all the good ministers, friends, and family who visited me while I was in the OMC and St. Mary’s Hospitals and the Pine Haven Care Center for rehab.

My prayers are always with everyone.
