Chatfield renews electric franchise By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com
With the 20-year renewal of Chatfield’s electric franchise some changes are expected in the near future. Keith Sherman representing Alliant Energy, Brian Krambeer representing Tri-County Electric Cooperative, and Elaine Garry representing People’s Energy Cooperative addressed the city council at its May 27 meeting. Councilor Paul Novotny was absent. Sherman explained that electric service will continue and will be similar to what has been in effect for the last 20 years as a sale takes place. He asked that the franchise be renewed so it can be part of the sale closure. Krambeer gave an overview of the transaction. Twelve electric cooperatives across southern Minnesota own and are members of Southern Minnesota Energy Cooperative (SMEC). The cooperatives in an agreement with Alliant Energy will

Commissioner Randy Dahl commented that they shouldn’t punish citizens who follow the rules, but they cannot stand by and allow constant abuse by some. He suggested installing cameras to catch offenders and that offenders should be fined much more than it would cost to properly dispose of the waste. Chairman Chuck Amunrud maintained that if abusers don’t dump there, they may dump in roadside ditches. Sheriff Daryl Jensen said that See COUNTY Page 10

In a 10-year wholesale power agreement with SMEC, Alliant Energy will provide the power supply and transmission service and the cooperatives will distribute the power. The agreement between SMEC and Alliant Energy will not be final until it is approved by state and federal regulatory agencies. Chatfield residents will become members of either People’s on three sides of the city or members of Tri-County on the southern portion of the city.

Rushford approves Highway 43 bidder, moves financing forward By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The start of the anticipated Highway 43 project through the heart of downtown Rushford is drawing closer. Sealed bids were opened May 22 and the bid was awarded May 27 to McHugh Excavating of Onalaska, Wis. in the amount of $2,969,218. The amount did see some minor adjustment, but is very close to engineering estimates. MnDOT is currently reviewing the bid

We’re good to go,” said Josh DeFrang, engineer for Otomo Engineering. The firm had no concern over only two bidders, largely in part to a thorough pre-bidders meeting with potential contractors. “We found out which companies were hungry and which weren’t,” he added.

people in their areas (Tri-County will serve about 2,500 more or realize a 20 percent growth and People’s will serve about 7,000 more or realize a 50 percent growth). With growth the efficiency of each of the cooperatives will increase. The council approved the first consideration of Ordinance 412, which renews the electric franchise for 20 years. Heritage Preservation Award Each year a preservation award is presented to someone who has worked to preserve the heritage of Chatfield through its historic or architecturally significant buildings. Tony and Melissa Klema were this year’s recipients of the award for their restoration of the former hardware store building which was built in 1872. The building was
given new life with the establishment of “Adourn,” a furniture rehab business. They also have worked to restore a nineteen century Victorian home on Fillmore Street. Mayor Russ Smith presented the award for their investment in Chatfield’s downtown and in the community. Other Business In Brief •After some discussion about re-installing a restroom in what is now a storage closet off the Senior Room in the Thurber Building, the $8,075 project was approved. City clerk Joel Young said they would either have to go ahead with the single quote they have from Southeast Mechanical ($7,625) or wait a year or two to go out for new bids as the quote has already been made public.

Schwickert’s will do the roof work which is $450 of the total project cost. •The second consideration and publishing of Ordinances 410 and 411 were approved. Ordinance 410 vacates a portion of the right of way along Division Street necessary for the Twiford development. Ordinance 411 vacates a small portion of the alley needed for the development. •The closure of up to a block of Fillmore Street south of Third Street was authorized for June 8, 15, 22, and 29 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. as requested by Chatfield Lutheran Church. As weather permits, worship services will be held outdoors. •A bid from Huntington Electric in the amount of $3,275 was approved to improve lighting in the city shop as recommended by Tony Lammers. A bid from Southeast Electric in the amount of $572.36 was approved to install the circulating water pump in the water tower. •Lammers reported that the price for new hockey boards could run from $65,000 to $75,000. Used hockey boards are available that were built in 1991 that are in good shape for $15,000. The boards would have to be taken down and hauled back from Elk River. Lammers said it would cost about $5,000 to fix what they have now. Councilor Robert Pederson said he had looked at the Elk River hockey boards and that they were first class boards. Purchase of the used boards at Elk River was approved. •Young said he had attended a meeting to launch the Community Growth Initiative (CGI) process. The purpose of the CGI is to develop ideas on how communities (within approximately 20 miles of Rochester) can leverage the DMC opportunity.The CGI will involve 10 to 20 communities in the area facilitated by Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF). Young said each community has been asked to have one or two individuals to serve on a steering committee. The council passed a motion of support and Young asked councilors to get back to him if they wanted to be involved. •A public hearing scheduled for June 23 regarding modifications to Municipal Development District #3 was canceled because it is not necessary under law. •Councilor Ken Jacobson congratulated everyone who has worked diligently to get grant money for the Chatfield Center for the Arts ($5.3 million) included in the state’s bonding bill. Mayor Smith noted that matching funds are not required because of everything the community has done so far both through volunteerism and funding. Jacobson agreed that efforts by volunteers are very important to being included in the bonding bill, adding those efforts have paid off.

Spring Valley in search of new ambulance director thinks the Emergency Management team is working real well and those duties should not be wrapped into the description for the new position. The new position does require coordination with state EMS officials and the standards currently in place will need to be followed. Zimmer said that she would like to have the council think about the changes associated with this change and to come to the meeting on June 9. Zimmer also stated that the council needs to expedite the advertising for a replacement for that position. The council also approved a donation to the Spring Valley Area Ambulance Service to purchase equipment used to enhance patient care. The Spring Valley Area Ambulance Association has raised funds through its various fund raising activities including its Spring Mailer and the Pancake breakfast and obtained a $2,000 grant from Southeast Minnesota EMS to provide better and more effective CPR. The ambulance service now donates this piece of equipment valued at $14,218.50 to the Spring Valley Ambulance Service. The equipment donated was a Lucas II Chest Compressor.
By Gary Peterson It was a very short agenda at the Spring Valley City Council meeting on Wednesday evening. As the usual approval of the minutes and May Final Accounts Payable was dealt with, the first issue of pay adjustments for salary increases arose for Chad Hindt. He had indicated to the council that he would like to have his job description changed to absorb more of the safety training. City Administrater Deb Zimmer indicated that if his job description was changed, so would his salary. His salary would be increased $2,371.00. He will retain his current title of City Street Superintendent. The council had a lengthy discussion about the next item on the agenda. Within the next few weeks Spring Valley will be looking for a new ambulance director. Currently that position is being staffed by James Cooper and he is retiring in August. In the meantime Zimmer said that there are basically three functions associated with that job and “it is going to be extremely hard to hire a replacement that is willing to be an Ambulance Director, Safety, and Emergency Management Director.” Mayor Struzyk stated that he

C ommentary Response to Greg David’s piece on Obamacare By Jon Pieper Greg David’s recent commentary entitled “Obamacare will cost Minnesota’s schools $200 million” is based on inconclusive data from the Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) Jon Pieper office. There are 399 school districts in Minnesota. The Watch Dog group PoliGraph states, “Because there is no state-level data on health insurance costs or projected costs for school
districts, MMB had to survey schools, and 22 responded. Of them, nine said the health care law’s new mandates wouldn’t cost them anything.” My friend’s favorite quote is “Why are you arguing with facts?” I think it is important to be truthful and consistent. Greg David stated, “Minnesotans will die because of MNSure. That’s a fact.” Let’s start with facts. 224,000 Minnesotans have enrolled in health care through MNSure. No deaths due to MNSure have been reported. Now let’s talk about consistency. Rep. David coauthored legislation to create
In response to Greg Davids’ commentary ... To the Editor, I believe Greg Davids’ recent commentary needs clarification and context. The Affordable Care Act means that 12 million more non-elderly people will have health insurance in 2014 than if the ACA had not been enacted according to the Congressional Budget Office. In 2015 and again in 2016, the projections just keep getting better. Oh, and the CBO lowered the projected government cost in its most recent analysis. I must also add the fact that 21 of the 29 Republican governors have chosen not to take the virtually free federal money to expand their states Medicaid recipients. This will lead to the early death of thousands of Americans. Mr. Davids points to a recent study on the cost of providing health insurance to school employess. Mr. Davids says that it “will cost Minnesota schools at least $207.96 million.” That is not true. The study says
it might cost that much and it might not. Incredibly, somehow Mr. Davids thinks that providing health insurance to school employees “is the classic definition of throwing good money after bad.” I was glad to see that Mr. Davids was worrying about our children’s education. However, when Tim Pawlenty and the Republicans were in control, they sent our schools $1.5 billion in IOUs instead of money. I do not remember Mr. Davids expressing any concern for our school children at that time when the monetary cut was truly huge. Greg Rendahl Ostrander, MN

the MNSure health exchange. Prior to that he voted to take away health coverage for more than 100,000 low and middle class Minnesotans. Thankfully, Governor Dayton vetoed that bill. Let’s make this personal. My wife and I have three schoolaged children. My health premium was scheduled to be $1,050 per month with a $12,000 deductible. I would have to pay the first $24,600 out of pocket before my insurance paid anything... I am now enrolled through MNSure for a fraction of that cost. I have made my first doctor appointment in about 10 years. The State of Minnesota, your tax dollars, pays for Greg David’s insurance. Greg Davids should send you a thank you card instead of a sympathy card.

Guest commentary: In response to “Why I am a Democrat” By Linda Hovland I am reminded of when a person dies, all we remember are the good things about that person instead of any of the bad. It’s good to be be a positive person, but when it comes to our Presidents, or Congress or the Senate for Linda Hovland that matter, I’m just not feeling it. You brought up FDR’s speech about charity. When we were kids, about the worst thing you could do is ask for charity and if you were on welfare, you were the lowest of the low. Help was given by family and friends and that was OK because you would help them back. You brought up Truman. He ordered the atomic bomb that killed 120,000 people in Japan and crippled thousands more (saw that on the History channel this week), stopped that war then started the Korean War. We lost over 36,000 people total to that war. Next, JFK. I thought he was a great president but then again I was a kid, later it was said that he had an affair with Marilyn Monroe. She committed suicide or was murdered and made it look like suicide. Jury is still out on that one. It did stop his dirty little secret. OK now LBJ. He brought us into the Vietnam War. That was very unpopular and people were very angry and took it out on our military. They would come home to no support and lots of times boo’ed. I remember that. We had a lot of family that went to that war. There were over 58,000 killed in that war. Next Bill Clinton. I voted for

him and thought he was a great President until Monica came into the picture and Bill lied about his little indiscretion. A lot of people looked at Hillary at that time and thought she didn’t seem to care. Now Obama. First Obama violated the federal law by instructing the federal government to not enforce federal immigration laws. Then Obama violates the Constitution with bypassing Congress to create law with the Dream Act. It gave him the Hispanic vote, but now they demand that Obama extend amnesty to 11 million illegals here in the U.S. What is that saying to all the people who worked very hard, and paid a lot of money, to get here the right way. He’s put us in debt to a point that we can’t possibly get out and forced us into a health care system that wasn’t researched fully. I guess I’m an independent voter. I do vote, but right now it looks to me like everyone in government is only looking out for themselves and we are paying for it. I sure wouldn’t admit to being a Democrat or Republican.

C ommentary Why I still have faith in congress By Lee H. Hamilton It’s depressing to read poll after poll highlighting Americans’ utter disdain for Congress. But it’s my encounters with ordinary citizens at public meetings or in casual conLee H. versation that Hamilton really bring me up short. In angry diatribes or in resigned comments, people make clear their dwindling confidence in both politicians and the institution itself. With all Congress’s imperfections — its partisanship, brinksmanship, and exasperating inability to legislate – it’s not hard to understand this loss of faith. Yet as people vent their frustration, I hear something else as well. It is a search for hope. They ask, almost desperately sometimes, about grounds for renewed hope in our system. Here’s why I’m confident that we can do better. Let’s start with a point that should be obvious, but that people rarely notice: Our expectations are too high. In part, this is our elected officials’ fault: they over-promise and underperform. They set the bar high — promising strong leadership, a firm hand on the legislative tiller, and great policy accomplishments — then usually fail to clear it. Which should come as no surprise. Congress is not built

for efficiency or speediness. On almost every issue, progress comes in increments. The future of the American health care system may appear to hang on the debate raging these days about the Affordable Care Act, but this is just the latest installment of a long-running fight that began even before the creation of Medicare and Medicaid almost five decades ago. Congress deals with complex issues over many years and, sometimes, dozens of pieces of legislation. Focusing on any one moment in our legislative history is to miss the slow but undeniable advance of progress on Capitol Hill. I also tend to be more patient with congressional leaders than many people who share their frustrations with me. Our political leaders confront a terribly difficult political environment: the country is both deeply and evenly divided along partisan and ideological lines. Getting 218 votes in the House and 60 votes in the Senate can be a punishing task. It takes skill, competence, and a great deal of passion to make progress in this kind of environment — especially when those in Congress who are dedicated to finding a way forward have to face colleagues who do not appear to want the system to work. This brings me to a third point. If 50 years of watching Congress closely have taught me anything, it’s to wait until
the end of a congressional session to see what members actually accomplish. Despite all the bickering, roadblocks, delays, and grandstanding, Congress can often pass significant legislation by the end of a session, even if it can’t do everything we expect of it. And members of Congress are good politicians. Most try hard to understand what the people want, and try to bring about meaningful change, at least within their ideological framework. It may take a while, but Congress in the end responds to public sentiment. That is why it will pass the government’s basic funding bills this year, having learned from the public outrage over last year’s government shutdown. Finally, Congress has proven over its long history that even in the most difficult circumstances it can be astoundingly productive. The very first Congress, meeting at a time of enormous political uncertainty and financial trouble, was able to firm up the new government’s structure and set the course for the nation’s future. At one of the darkest times in our recent history, during the height of the Watergate scandal — when tensions between Congress and the White House and between Democrats and Republicans were no less pointed than they are now — Congress and President Nixon were still able
Rep. Davids reviews 2014 legislative session By Jason Wenisch ST. PAUL – On May 16, the Minnesota House of Representatives completed its business for the year and adjourned the 2014 legislative session. State Representative Greg Davids (R-Preston) said that one party legislative control has not been beneficial to the people of Minnesota. “I’m concerned about many of the decisions made by the legislative majority,” Davids said. “From the job killing tax increases, to the focus on explosive social issues, to the fiscal irresponsibility, our leadership and Governor Dayton has made many controversial and costly decisions over the past two years.” During the 2013-14 biennium, Davids said legislative Democrats leveled more than $2.4 billion in tax and fee increases on all hardworking Minnesotans. The good news is the legislature repealed three business to business taxes and enacted some other minor tax relief proposals this year, but that only amounted to $550 million. Davids said he was also pleased that the legislature supported a provision that orders income tax reciprocity negotiations with the State of Wisconsin.
But Davids was disappointed with the spending increases enacted by Governor Dayton and legislative leadership. After increasing state spending in 2013 by more than $3 billion – the largest spending increase in Minnesota’s history – the legislative majority added another $283 million in new spending to that total on the final day of the 2014 session. Davids opposed all wasteful spending provisions this session, including proposals that spend more than $400 million on an Obamacare bailout, nearly $90 million on a Minnesota Senate office complex, and $160 million on MNsure. “This legislature did spend down the $1.2 billion surplus and our budget is now balanced for this biennium,” Davids said. “The problem is all the new spending now guarantees continued spending obligations in the future, and that’s extremely problematic if revenue collections begin to slow down.” “There’s no question we accomplished a few good things, but overall much damage was done to the State of Minnesota in the last two years,” Davids concluded.
to collaborate on the Federal Aid Highway Act, the TransAlaska Pipeline Authorization, the Endangered Species Act, the Legal Services Corporation Act, an overhaul of the farm subsidy program, and an increase in the minimum wage. Congress often has risen above periods of great contention. It possesses a resilience that is obvious from the perspective of
decades. Building on that search for hope in our system, and on the long historical record, Americans have good reason to believe that Congress can and will do better. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Kingsland approves interim athletic director Reader says: The headline says “Kingsland approves interim athletic director.” However, 1. The reader is forced to wade through at least a dozen paragraphs of notes, some which refer to people as “Scott and John” without their last names or titles or at least mentioning them before in any capacity -“John” being the superintendent and therefore demanding the respect of at least a last name -- until the reader finally reaches the FIFTH from the last paragraph and learns about the new athletic director, and 2. In wading through all these notes -- notes, not sentences -- one is left completely bewildered as to what they’re actually about because as previous commenters have pointed out, Ms. Jeffers doesn’t venture to do much more than take notes. And notes do not a sentence or paragraph make.
Educated Reader says: Although I agree with your point about MRS.Jeffers not correctly writing names in correct format, you should probably realize that most school board articles are written in this note-type style. Would you rather they not cover school board meetings at all? Last time I checked no one forced you to read her articles and most humans weren’t perfect. At least I have never met one.
Barb Jeffers says: There is a lot of information shared at Kingsland school board meetings. I understand that all of that information may not be interesting or useful to you but it may be important to some of the other readers. I have been told I do not give enough details and I have been told I give too many details about Kingsland school board meetings. I do my best to inform readers. I do aplogize for the use of first names. The representative of the Finance/Facilities committee referred to them by first name which is how I wrote it down and overlooked it when proofreading. That was my error.

A comedic twist in Fountain By Barb Jeffers Don’t let me put words in your mouth, but no one will want to miss the comic ventriloquist coming to Fountain, Minn. for the 2014 Trail Days celebration. James Wedgwood will be performing Saturday, June 7, at 8 p.m. in the city park and everyone is invited to bring a lawn chair and enjoy the show described as “The Most Fun You Can Have Without Moving Your Lips!” and involves several characters who will have the crowd laughing out loud. “Uncle Ernie” will be visiting Fountain with James Wedgwood and is going to pop up at some point during the show. Wedgwood stated that Uncle Ernie is the quintessential old man we have all known at some point in our lives. Uncle Ernie is a little confused in his old age which brings about some hilarious comments. Also making an appearance during Wedgwood’s time on the stage will be “Willard Twitsnoggle” who is a wacky hunter with a twist. Willard’s dog “Lukey”
will accompany him as well. No telling who else may appear during the comedic performance by the talented ventriloquist. Wedgwood has several characters to choose from as he says he has seven or eight different characters including “Bill the Bird” the prairie chicken who flew over a nuclear reactor in Monticello, Minn. and is kind of messed up because of it says James. “Patrick McWiggins, a leprechaun, may stop by to say hello if time allows but there is one of James Wedgwood’s wooden friends who will not make it the show in Fountain. Luanda LaDouce, a sassy blues singer, has not been invited as she says some inappropriate things that are not suitable for audiences with children. Wedgwood states that “Luanda is not family friendly”, so it is best that she stays home that day. When asked what to call these characters made of wood Wedgwood stated, “You can call them dummies when you are not in their presence but
otherwise they can be called puppets because they are kind of sensitive,” he joked. People in the ventriloquist business call their dummies ventriloquial figures but that is quite a mouthful said James so calling them puppets will be fine. James Wedgwood lives near Fergus Falls, Minn. after living in the St. Paul, Minn. area for 30 years. He has made TV appearances on “The Statler Brothers Show” and “Crook and Chase” as well as working with well known names like Glen Campbell, Chubby Checker, Janie Fricke and Jeannie C. Riley. Wedgwood has performed many times at the Minnesota State Fair and also took first place overall in the 13th annual Jackpot Junction Casino talent competition in Morton, Minn. Wedgwood began ventriloquism when he was 9 years old and his aunt sent him a plastic dummy and a couple records. He learned the basics as a child but never planned on doing it for a living although he always knew he wanted to perform.

He studied theatre in school, did some acting and improv work, and in 1980 Wedgwood met an agent who told him to put an act together and he would get him work. Through the years Wedgwood’s career grew and developed into the successful comedian ventriloquist he has become today. There will not be a dull moment as James Wedgwood and his puppets interact with the audience even bringing volunteers up on stage to create more laughter. He says his favorite part of his time on stage is the spontaneity and adlibs from audience members. Even though he works within a framework for his show no two shows are the same as he never knows what a volunteer on stage or an audience member will do or say so he must react to the situation. Wedgwood stated he is looking forward to performing in Fountain for Trail Days and said to expect lots of good clean fun and some surprises while enjoying the entertainment. He also wants people to know that there will be risers so everyone will be

since this discussion came up three weeks ago, he has asked his staff to pay closer attention, adding his department is part but not all of the solution. Jensen reported that they are in the process of purchasing some technology so they can monitor the site. However, they don’t want to fill the courts with illegal garbage dumpers. Commissioner Marc Prestby wanted to wait a longer period before putting the dumpsters back. A motion was passed to put the dumpsters back and to coordinate with the Sheriff’s Office to stop the illegal dumping. Prestby voted against. During the Citizens Input portion of the meeting, Benny Helgeson, Spring Valley, had his say on the dumpster issue. He noted the inconvenience for those who are trying to do the right thing. He said he had made three trips with his recyclables and found no dumpsters each time. He described his efforts and contacts to find out why they didn’t have dumpsters available. Helgeson said he was a tax payer and he was frustrated that people who try to do things right are penalized along with the abusers. He agreed with the use of signage and a camera to catch or dissuade abusers. He suggested they light the area more and that they reward people who turn the abusers in. Helgeson mentioned that one abuser who was caught will not be prosecuted because according to Spring Valley’s administrator the city will not pay for a prosecutor.

Amunrud Says Thank-you May 27 was third district commissioner Chuck Amunrud’s last day. He resigned two weeks ago effective this day. Amunrud has served on the board nearly 12 years. He said it is time for his wife Debbie and himself to get on with the next phase of their lives. He thanked the commissioners he has been serving with currently and also those he served with in the past. Amunrud maintained that this has been a good county board, noting part time people are being used to do what amounts to a full time job. He wished his successor the best and offered to make himself available for questions while he is still in the community. He and his wife will continue to live in Spring Valley until their home is sold and then will move to Racine, Wis. where they have family including five grandchildren. Amunrud thanked the county staff and praised them for their good work. He concluded his remarks saying that our county stands out and is unique. Commissioner Duane Bakke suggested Amunrud is part of the reason this board has worked together so well, adding it has been a pleasure having you here. Bakke wished him well thanking him for his service. Other Business In Brief •A Conditional Use Permit was approved as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission for Steve and Dixie Grebin. The CUP is for the commercial use of a building at 21257 U.S. 52, Preston. The property includes about 1.7 acres and has a paved parking area. They will use the building for offices for their
commercial staffing and consulting business which may provide employment for twenty people. Bakke noted that the recent change in county ordinance 604.03 #13 for Agricultural District Conditional Uses will allow for the use of an existing building such as this one located in the Ag District along the Highway 16, 52, or 63 corridors for a commercial or industrial use. Zoning Administrator Chris Graves said a public hearing at P and Z on May 15 was held and that there were no negative comments. •Approval was given for a CUP for the construction of a cell phone tower to increase cell phone coverage in the area as recommended by P and Z. AT&T will install a cell tower on Larry and Rose Marie Sample’s property, Chatfield Township, Section 7. No negative comments were heard at the P and Z public hearing and the plans for the tower meet all setback requirements. The city of Chatfield has no objections. •The low quote from Rochester Sand and Gravel at $294,012.01 was accepted for the reconstruction of CSAH 17 in Preston from the library to the south bridge. County Engineer Ron Gregg acknowledged that the low quote was about 30 percent higher than the engineer’s estimate. •The purchase of a 2006 XL100 lowboy trailer was approved for $20,000 plus trade. This is $5,000 below the budgeted amount. •A resolution requesting a variance to replace a timber deck bridge in Preble Township (east of Choice) on a dead end limited use roadway was approved as recommended by the county engineer. The variance is needed to replace the structure with three box cul-

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County verts with concrete deck costing about $150,000 rather than a much more expensive bridge costing about $400,000. The township has requested assistance using Township Bridge Funds to replace the bridge which has been reduced to a three ton bridge. Only two seasonal residences are served by the roadway. •The possibility of a wheelage tax which could raise $230,000 and/or a half cent sales tax which could raise $800,000 to $900,000 to be used for the preservation of roads was discussed at Highway Committee. Dahl said for us to do preservation to extend the life of roads, we need a source of revenue. Bakke said the taxes allows for a mechanism to get money for 3 digit roads. Amunrud noted there currently is no funding for 3 digit roads. Bakke noted that the Carrolton Township board has passed a resolution two years in a row to request township bridge money from the state for the Old Barn bridge. •Approval was given for the purchase of 911 phone controller with IP phone system as requested by Sheriff Jensen. The upgrade will cost $184,028.44 with three years of support services. Jensen said it will be paid for out of 911 funds. The digital system will allow for dispatchers to have one headset for both radio and phone calls. The upgrade will receive text messaging and e-mails. Jensen said he is confident that this is something we have to do to have a good 911 product. •Revisions to the Fillmore
County Feedlot Ordinance were approved as recommended by P and Z. No negative comments were heard at a public hearing held May 15 by P and Z. Bakke explained that the number of animal units required to trigger a hearing for a CUP has been raised from 500 to 1,000. The 2,000 animal unit cap remains in place. Feedlot Officer Mike Frauenkron said the 1,000 animal unit level requires an MPCA feedlot permit in addition to a county permit. Bakke added that Frauenkron works with farmers to get feedlots placed in appropriate locations. Construction of new animal feedlots or the expansion of existing feedlots over 999 animal units requires an onsite evaluation by the county feedlot officer and planning commission. •Approval was given for copy machine leases from A plus Imaging Systems for Social Services at $168.39 per month and for Public Health at $201.01 per month. Both departments will use the Public Health copier when needing a color copy which is the reason for the price difference. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman said they have been working to more efficiently use equipment thereby reducing the amount of equipment in the offices by sharing where possible. •Duane Bakke was elected chairman to replace retiring chairman Chuck Amunrud. Marc Prestby was elected vice-chairman (Bakke has been vice-chairman this year).

In addition, Bubany noted the proposed bond issue will reimburse the city for engineering paid to date. The third concern plaguing the city is a decreased market value. In the last year, the city’s overall estimated market value was reduced more than $6 million. Completely out of the city’s hands, noted Bubany, the decrease came following sales falling below assessed county values. “You still have all the same stuff, it just has less value. Investors view a decreasing tax base as a negative credit factor,” explained Bubany, who stressed a negotiated sales option, as opposed to competitive bond sales, will aid the city’s plight in securing funding. “The city has faced so many challenges. We’ll do better by negotiating; explaining the challenges. In a competitive sale, there’s no interaction. We will lay it out. It’s a good story to tell… a very dynamic story. Usually it’s just ratios and percentages, but this gives us a chance to humanize it,” he added. The city will look to comparable competitive sales when applying for funding. In a summary of outstanding debt, Bubany noted that if accepted as presented, the city would see its debt per capita rise above the set $6,000 limit by $28 in 2015. However, another strategy presented would drop the contingency amount by $6,000 below the typical 10 percent, allowing the city to not breach the threshold. “We drew that line in the sand and I don’t want to cross it,” noted Councilor Mark Honsey, echoing remarks from the rest of the council. In other news, the city is proceeding with a proactive approach to restoring native prairie and
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
slowing the growth of invasive plant species on Magelssen Bluff and the east Rushford bluff utilizing goats. The method, using intense rotational grazing through a series of moved solar-powered, electric netting-enclosed paddocks, has been used successfully in both rural and metro applications throughout the country and limits the need for expensive machinery and ineffective herbicide application, as well as personnel time involved. The contractor hired for the job, Driftless Land Stewardship of Bagley, Wis., has used the application successfully in the past and is fully insured by the state for the work. Jaime Edwards, a Nongame Wildlife Specialist for the DNR, has been working to set up the program and anticipates the program will take 150 days, beginning this week, and is scheduled to encompass two years. The bluffs rank highly within the state for diversity of native plant and animal species and the program is expected to increase that status. “This is a rich natural resource,” stated Edwards. The goats, 63 of which are expected on each bluff, are “browsers” by nature, preferring scrubby brush, leaves, bark, saplings, and seedlings, as opposed to grass and other plant material. The goats will be sent through paddock areas for an anticipated 20-30 days. By doing this repeatedly, invasive plant species will be set back in growth and native plants will be stimulated. Future prescribed burns will carry through remaining areas, preventing reestablishment. “I can see restoration of the native prairie, but the real hidden agenda is rattlesnakes, right?” asked Councilor Vern Bunke. “My concern, with a concerted effort to tourism, is getting people into the bluffs. I think
Page 11
it’s counter-intuitive to create a somewhat hazardous situation for those who want to hike, go birding, camping. I can see taking it back 100 years to what it was; quite unique,” he continued. Edwards disagreed with Bunke, citing no spotted Rattlesnakes on Magelssen Bluff, but a large den on the east Rushford bluff. “Eliminating the brush actually helps reduce encounters,” she stressed. Restoring the native prairie, while not increasing snake numbers, will actually keep the snakes from meandering about the bluffs, as their habitat is improved. All affected land owners have been contacted and the site for the bottom end of the fencing paddocks has been flagged, allowing a buffer between the fencing location and resident property lines. The goats, Spanish Boer and Kiko breeds will be adult does and immature wethers. Edwards noted that the contractor has had little problem with the process and that most calls for concern are over animal safety and welfare, such as water or perceived injury or fighting. “Usually, they’re not a used to farm animals.” Water will be brought to the location and the contractor will be on site the first week to deal with potential issues. After that, a local person will be hired to check fences and animals. According to Edwards, the goats rarely escape the enclosure and when they do, they go up and not far, as they stay near their food source and herd. If land owners see flagging on their property and do not want goats in that area, they are advised to contact Jaime Edwards at (507) 206-2820 or Jaime. edwards@state.mn.us to have flagging/fencing moved. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, June 9, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Root River citizen conversations at five local events Join Root River watershed neighbors in June at five local events from Grand Meadow to La Crescent for citizen-led conversations about protecting water resources in the watershed. Portions of six counties drain to the Root River: Dodge, Fillmore, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, and Winona. Similar events last spring helped shape strategies for reducing pollutants that are impairing the river and its tributaries for use as drinking water, for recreation and for supporting fish and other things living in the water. The upcoming June events will help identify
local resources and assets for implementing land use practices that reduce pollutants in order to meet water quality standards. The events include a light meal or snack provided by a local community organization for a free will donation. Interactive activities will allow everyone to participate in providing information for a Root River watershed plan. Pre-registration is preferred to facilitate planning for food but is not required to attend, so please come even if it is a last minute decision. To preregister or for more informa-
tion, call 507-765-3878, ext. 3, or email donna.rasmussen@ fillmoreswcd.org. Go to www. fillmoreswcd.org. for updates. This is a one-time series with no obligations for further participation. It is organized by the Root River Citizens’ Group with support from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and University of Minnesota Extension. The events are funded by Minnesota’s Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. Dates and times for the Root River Citizen Conversations: CHATFIELD: Tuesday, June 10, 6-8:15 p.m. at the Chatfield

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende FC/L softball started off the season finding out it would seniorless. Those senior-less Falcons are now 1A East champs. They are headed to Austin and the Section Final Four. The Falcons’ (#1, 12-3) trek began with a quarterfinal Paul Trende contest versus Mabel-Canton (#8, 4-9). A softball adage goes, ‘you gotta hit to run, you gotta run to score, you gotta score to win.’ Well, M-C didn’t do any of the first, little of the second, none of third, and thus they lost 8-0. FC/L junior pitcher Morgan Malley, who has flirted with the feat a couple times, tossed no-hitter (14 K, 1 BB). Offensively, Malley (2-4, 2B, 2 RBI, R) and Megan Hendrickson (2-3, RBI, R) each had two hits. Taylor PierceSprenger (1-4) had 4 RBI. Sara Lind was solid in defeat for M-C (6 IP, 10 H, 8 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 2 K). They finish at 4-10. In a 1A East semi, Malley again led the Falcons versus LewistonAltura (#4, 11-9). Her and Cardinal pitcher Kayla Burt combined to surrender just six hits. Two of FC/L’s were of the differencemaking extra-base variety. Gabby Brazee singled in the second and Tayah Barnes then doubled her home. An inning later, Malley led off with a towering solo HR (3) to left field. L-A got just one runner to second base. The Falcons picked up the 2-0 victory behind Malley’s shut-out (7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 7 K, 1 BB). Catcher Shelby Ebner helped the Falcon cause by snagging a couple popped-up bunt attempts and throwing out a runner trying to steal. FC/L avenged 2013’s first round upset loss to the then 7thseeded Cardinals. Burt (7 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 5 K, 2 BB, Loss) and Morah Forstch (2-2, BB) led L-A. The 1A East final with W-K (#2, 15-6) was an absolute nailbiter anytime FC/L was in the field. Rowan Blaschko began the game
by tripling. It was a sign of things to come. Wabasha left runners in scoring position in six innings. Four times, they left a runner on the hot corner. A trio of K’s followed the Blaschko first inning triple. FC/L cut a runner down at home plate 9-3-2 on a second Blaschko triple in the fifth. A half inning later, Barnes singled, went to second on an error, and scored on a Kaitlynn Aug double (1-0). A half inning later, Adrianna Baab singled, stole second, and scored on a Bailey LaRocque single (1-1). In the bottom of the seventh, Barnes repeated her fifth inning feat (single, to second on error). Aug the same. Her single to center on a 1-2 count plated Barnes to propel Tris Tollefson’s Falcons to walk-off glory (2-1). Malley got the win (14-1). W-K touched her for nine hits, but just the single run (7 K, 0 BB). Seven Falcons-North were stranded in scoring position. Aug (2-3, 2B, 2 RBI) and Barnes (2-3, 2 R) were the FC/L offense. Blaschko (3-4, 2 3B, SB) and LaRocque (2-3, RBI, 7 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 5 K, 0 BB) led W-K. FC/L (15-3) heads to Austin to face 1A West champ, 4-seed Kenyon-Wanamingo (11-11).
Gopher Softball Headed to Austin
Offensively gifted Chatfield softball also is headed to Austin for the Section Final Four. They (3-seed, 12-6) beat Goodhue (6-seed, 4-12) in the quarters 9-3. Janessa Erding was 3-4 (2B, 2 RBI, 2 R). Brook Irish collected the win (7 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 7 K; 2 RBI). Chatfield then travelled to Wabasha (#2, 14-6). The Gophers out-hit W-K 9-4, but errors (3) and walks (7) were their demise. They fell 7-4 in the semis. Sydney Gould was 2-4 with a solo HR (2). Chatfield then spotted L-A (#4, 11-10) three first inning runs in an elimination game. But then, a 13-0 run. Maddy Larrabee (3-4, 2B, R) and Kirsten Keefe (1-3, 2B) each had three RBI. Sidney Irish (3-4, 2 R, RBI), Erding (3-4, 2 R), and Shelby Bernard (3-3, 2 RBI, R)
each had three hits. The Gophers won in five, 13-3. Jennifer Hanson (5 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 8 K) collected the win. It set up a re-match with W-K (#2, 15-7) in another elimination game. Coming off the loss to FC/L, Wabasha tallied four first-inning errors, gifting the Gophers a pair of runs. W-K tied things in the third, but the Gophers then scored seven unanswered. Jeff Johnson’s crew avenged two losses, grabbed the sub-section runner-up trophy/medals, and punched a trip to Spam-town by a final of 9-2. Eight of nine starters recorded a hit (Keefe 2-3, RBI, R; S-Irish 2-4, 2 R; Gould 2-4, 3B, RBI, R). Hanson (7 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K) got another win. Chat (East #3, 15-7) will play Hay (West #1, 17-4) on a field in a battle of fields, elimination at stake.
Gopher Baseball Head to Rochester
The Gopher baseball team (#2, 14-2), which has rode a collective team effort including excellent pitching in the regular season, began their play-off run by downing Houston (7-seed, 5-11). A four-run third was key to a 7-2 win. Jake Neis led the way (3-4, 3B, RBI, 2 R) with assists from Nate Skare (1-4, 2 RBI, R), T.J. Moechnig (2-3, RBI, R), and Tommy Jech (Win; 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K). The Canes had just four hits with Christian Sires (1-4) collecting the sole RBI. They finish at 5-12. Chatfield then hit a bump the road. L-A’s hitting solved Gopher pitching, rapping out ten hits against Neis. The Cardinals led 5-2 heading to the seventh before putting it away with a 3-run top. The final was 8-3. Zach Eggers (2-3, 2 2B, SB) scored all three Chatfield runs. Storm Seefeldt (7 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 5 K, Win), Ryan Gnadt (3-4, 2 RBI, R), and Mitch Rasmussen (3-4, RBI) led the Card charge. Chatfield rebounded against FC/L in an elimination game. A 6-run Gopher first put the Falcons in a vice. Chatfield won 12-2 in five. Noah Grant (2-2) had
two 2-run hits (4 RBI). Neis (2-3, 2B, 3 R, RBI), Skare (2-3, 2B, 2 RBI), and Ben Pierce (2-3, RBI, R) also got in on the action. Kiel Larson (1-2, R) and Nick Mensink (1-3, RBI) led FC/L, whose season ends at 4-14. Chatfield (16-3) then beat L-A in a re-match to grab the 1A East runner-up spot (more next week). They are off to Rochester, the Section Final Four, and a third date with TRC rival Southland in an elimination game.
Hot Shots
The Fillmore Central girl’s golf team won the 1A East meet and advanced to the Section 1A finals. Katie Tammel and Keeley Todd finished 1-2. R-P’s boys advanced also by taking second. Trojan Kyle Weidemann took second to FC’s Jordan Miller (6-over 76). R-P/H track and field had 17 athletes qualify for the Section 1A individual meet. Noah Carlson (400, Long Jump, Triple Jump), Austin O’Hare (1600, 3200), Anna Sweet (100), Jordan Honken (Pole Vault), and Matt Culhane (Disc) are top three seeds (top state hopefuls). LFCMC had seven relay teams qualify, 25 total qualifiers. Olivia Haug (Discus) and the girls 4x400/4x800 teams are seeded top three. Chatfield had 12 qualifiers. Maddy Kammer (200, 400), Jayme LaPlante (Shot, Disc), Autum Erickson (100), and the girls 4x200 are seeded top three. LaPlante’s discus throw (179’05”) set the (1A) Sub-Section 1 meet record. Kingsland qualified two; Lacey Schwartz (100) the best state hopeful. Seniors Kailynn Hamersma and Haley Colton each had two hits and 2 RBI as GMLOK softball won a quarterfinal game. FC/L frosh Colin Scott was 3-3 (5 RBI) as Falcon baseball did the same. R-P’s Lauren Hadley went yard twice, and Keela Brand hit another (2), in a Trojan season-ending loss. Jake Neis was 4-5 and collected the win as Chatfield ended its TRC

NOAH CARLSON Rushford-Peterson/Houston Track and Field
Rushford-Peterson’s Noah Carlson racked up three first place finishes at the 1A Sub-Section 1 track and field meet. He won the 400, the Long Jump, and the Triple Jump (with room to spare). He heads to the 1A meet ‘seeded’ first, second, and second in those three events, or as a triple-threat hopeful for state. Only a freshman, Carlson looks for a return trip to state (he qualified in the Triple Jump last season as just an 8th grader). Photo by Paul Trende

The end
By Anna Christoph As the school year comes to a close, the hustle and bustle of every school day seems to remain constant. Even though the seniors at Fillmore Central had their last day on Wednesday the 21, and graduated on Sunday the 25, it seems as though hardly any classes Anna Christoph are affected by it. Especially band and choir. I know I’ve been talking a lot about the trip to Florida, but it’s difficult to forget when we are reminded every day that the time is almost here. As for the other classes, we are being handed test after test, assignment after assignment, even a final in calculus. With everything that’s going on, it’s almost as though June 6 will never arrive. It’s difficult to believe that my class only has a year until we leave for bigger things. It really does feel like we were playing football at recess and coloring in English not that long ago. It just doesn’t seem right, like there has to be some mistake, we’re not that old yet. Starting June 6, we’re the big dogs again, we will be seniors. I know the next week will go by fast, but it still seems that the end of the year is out of reach, which is bittersweet because we want summer, but we also want to stay young forever. At this rate, however, we will never grow up, mentally that is. Everyone is ready for summer,
especially the boys in my grade. Our focus in class is limited as well as our focus on homework and basically any other school related thing. This could also be partially due to the fact that the school is a million degrees most of the time and the cooling system is a little wonky. I will not dare complain, though, after the winter we had. I’d take a million above over a million below any day at this point. Anyway, I’m sure all of the lack of focus is just because we are all well aware that school is almost over. Hopefully we are all able to stay with it just a little bit longer, just long enough to finish each test, assignment, project, final, or whatever else we have to do. Before we know it, we’ll be starting a whole new school year again, maybe next year will be even better than this one. Personally speaking, this year was a major learning experience. This year, we all learned how to accept failure and try that much harder next time. We’ve learned that sometimes old friendships just can’t survive some adversities, but new ones can form around them. We’ve even learned that sometimes you can’t do things by yourself, it’s impossible, but it’s always okay to ask for help. I hope we all carry these with us for the rest of our lives, because it truly applies to everyone, everywhere, at every stage of life. Anna Christoph is a student at Fillmore Central High School. She is one of 8 area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its fifteenth year.

Computer on. Check. Microsoft Works on. Check. Brain. Absent and blank. That being said, what do I do now? Since we celebrated Easter and we’re on the lighter side, chicks and bunnies come to mind. One of my daughters and family are very active in the 4-H branch of the Fillmore County Rabbit Club. And a few weeks ago one of her rabbit does gave birth to babies. She had two that were bred, but one Mama Bunny, being new to this game, wasn’t ready or wasn’t quite sure how to be ready and unfortunately gave birth to hers on a Sunday night during the cold, wet snowy spring that we had. Unfortunately, they didn’t make it. My daughter really felt bad about the loss as she is very generous with supplying rabbits for children to show at the fair in July. When they may not have the wherewithal to do so on their, own, this gains experience for them and gives parents a chance to see if their child is serious about taking on this project, without a lot of expense. Anyway, as far as we know this mama has four and they probably have started showing up outside their hutch. They are such cute balls of fluff and so funny to watch as they play and grow. After they appear outside she starts handling them, so they get used to people. I hope everybody had a Great Easter and was able to share it with friends and family. I had
a small gathering this year and we had the traditional ham dinner with family favorites such
Luscious Lemon Bars
1 1/3 C all purpose flour 2 T plus 1 1/4 C granulated sugar substitute 6 T butter, diced 1/2 C light cream (I use fat free half & half) 3 large eggs 1 large egg yolk 1/2 C fresh lemon juice 1 T lemon zest If you really want true lemon taste, using fresh is important. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and coat a 9-inch pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl combine 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar substitute. Add butter and combine into a coarse meal using a pastry blender or fork, or use your handy dandy food processor. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. Meanwhile, in a bowl whisk to gather the light cream, eggs, and remaining 1 1/3 cup flour and 1 1/4 cups sugar substitute. Whisk to combine, stir in lemon juice and zest, pour onto the hot crust. Bake the bar mixture for 12-15 minutes or until center is set and edges are lightly golden. Sometimes I line my pans with foil to make cleanup easier. You do have to follow pan preparation as the recipe directs. Per bar: 116 calories, 3g protein, 11g carbs, 0.3g fiber, 2g sugar, 7g fat, 4g saturated fat, 22g sodium.

June is Dairy Month Supporting America’s Dairy Industry Blue Valley Holstein to host Dairy Night on the Farm By Barb Jeffers The owners of Blue Valley Holstein are celebrating June as Dairy Month and inviting everyone to join their party.

regular job at Olmsted Medical Center during the week. Tracy and Bruce’s son Jim and his wife Randi also farm. The Wingerts have three employees who help with the work that farming entails. David Leonard and Aaron Gillespie work parttime while Chris Lumbi works full time at Blue Valley Holstein. Bruce stated they milk 210 cows in a step up walk through parlor at Blue Valley Holstein and will share information on how the cows are milked and barns will be open for self-guided tours. It will be a time for adults and children who are not familiar with farming to spend some time on the farm and find out about the milking process. Loni Wingert stated that Dairy Night on the Farm is a great opportunity that the A.D.A. puts on for people who don’t live on a farm to come and see what farming is all about. Loni added that Dairy Night on the Farm is “a great time for families to spend time on a farm” and is looking forward to the evening. It will also give area farmers a chance to get together and share a common interest. Kids can see and touch cows and calves which
some may have never had the chance to do before. The children will also love spending time in the House of Bounce that will be at Dairy Night on the Farm. They may even get to meet a real princess -the 2014 Fillmore County Dairy Princess Melinda Woods. People of all ages will enjoy playing Cow Bingo as they enjoy the company of friends and neighbors. A tasty supper will be served with the Fillmore County Cattlemen’s Association cooking ham-
burgers for hungry guests. A constant favorite at Dairy Night on the Farm is the American Dairy Associations Malt Wagon which will be serving cold treats perfect for a summer evening. Bruce Wingert says they are planning on 300-500 people to attend Dairy Night on the Farm which is a popular annual event for both people in the farming industry and those who would like to learn more. Mark your calendars now and plan to attend Dairy Night on the Farm at Blue Valley Holstein. The address is 25304 Jade Road, Fountain, Minn.

Question: On average, how many servings of dairy are Americans consuming per day? Answer: On average, Americans are currently consuming about two dairy servings per day. Adding just one more serving of dairy can help fill some of the average American’s nutrient gaps. Question: What percentage of dairy farms in the United States are family-owned? Answer: 97 percent of U.S. dairy farms are family-owned. Question: What is the average size of a dairy cow herd in the United States? Answer: The average dairy herd is 196 cows. Regardless of herd size, cows must be healthy and well cared for to produce wholesome, nutritious milk. Question: Trying to get back into your summer workout routine? Which dairy product is proven to refuel tired muscles after physical activity? Answer: Chocolate milk contains an optimal ratio of carbohydrate-to-protein that helps refuel tired muscles. It is almost twice as effective as commercial sports drinks. Question: How many states in the U.S. are home to dairy farms? Answer: All 50 states in the U.S. have dairy farms. In those 50 states, there are nearly 47,000 licensed dairy farms! Question: What percentage of U.S. greenhouse gas emission is contributed to dairy? Answer: The contribution from dairy to the total U.S. greenhouse gas emission is only 2 percent. Amazingly, the carbon footprint of a gallon of milk has gone down by nearly two-thirds in the last 60 years! Question: How many major breeds of dairy cattle are there? Answer: Black and white Holsteins are the most popular breed of dairy cattle. Some Holsteins are called Red and White. Other recognized dairy breeds in the U.S. include Jersey, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Milking Shorthorn and Holstein. Question: How much milk does an average dairy cow produce per day? Answer: The average dairy cow produces anywhere from six to eight gallons of milk per day, or about 125 glasses. This means the average dairy cow produces more than 2,000 gallons of milk every year! Question: How many nutrients are in milk? Answer: There are nine key nutrients in milk, including calcium, potassium, phosphorus, protein, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B12, riboflavin and niacin. Question: How far away does a cow’s sense of smell reach? Answer: Cows have an acute sense of smell, and can smell something up to six miles away. Question: What is the approximate cost of milk per glass?
The FCJ reaches over 13,000 household each week.
Answer: Milk is a nutritional bargain, costing about 25 cents a glass. Few foods deliver dairy’s powerhouse of nutrients in such an affordable, appealing and readily available way. Question: How many hours a day do most cows spend chewing their cud?
Answer: Most cows chew at least 50 times per minute, and spend 10 hours a day chewing their cud in order to aid in digestion. Question: Which nutrient in milk cleanses your taste buds? Answer: Milk is good for coolSee TRIVIA Page 23

ing your mouth because a protein in milk called casein cleanses the taste buds. Question: How many spots are identical on the average dairy cow? Answer: Every cow spot is like a snowflake; no two are the same. Question: What do cows eat? Answer: Cows eat a combination of hay and other forages, grain such as corn, and protein like soybean meal. They also get vitamins and minerals, and many farms use a nutritionist to balance cows’ diets. Cows can digest many things that we cannot, and produce milk that we can enjoy! Question: How much less sugar does the chocolate milk served in school have, compared
to six years ago? Answer: Today’s chocolate milk has about 38 percent less sugar than six years ago, and has the same nine essential nutrients as white milk. Question: How many gallons of fresh milk a year does the average food bank client receive? Answer: The average person relying on a food bank only receives about one gallon of fresh milk a year. Milk is one of the top five most in-demand items at food banks. Question: How long does it take for milk to travel from the farm to your store, on average? Answer: The average gallon of milk takes only 48 hours to be picked up from the farm, delivered to the dairy plant and moved through the distribution system to a retail store.
Our hats off to the dairy farmers!

June is Dairy Month Supporting America’s Dairy Industry Princess Kay of the Milky Way By Angie Rodenburg For 19-year-old Chelsea Schossow being a finalist for the title of Princess Kay of the Milky Way is a dream come true. After candidating in the Winona County Dairy Princess competition, Chelsea was named Miss Winona County Dairy Princess. From there, Chelsea competed against 51 other girls in hopes of becoming one of the 12 finalists vying for the title of Princess Kay of the Milky Way. Chelsea’s application, interviews, and speech impressed judges and she was awarded a spot among the finalists. Growing up on her family’s dairy farm in Ridgeway, Chelsea developed a love for the dairy industry and its way of life early on. The experience has guided
her and fueled her passion for her future goals. After graduating from Winona Senior High School in 2013, Chelsea became a student at South Dakota State University, where she is majoring in Dairy Science Production and is pursuing minors in both Agribusiness and Ag Communications. As a true lover of the dairy industry, Schossow dreams of being a Dairy Nutritionist and one day taking over the family farm as a fourth generation dairy farmer. “Growing up on a dairy farm, I learned what hard work and patience mean,” said Schossow. Schossow chose to take part in the dairy princess competitions as a way to show people her passion for the dairy industry and to show how much

growing up on a dairy farm has prepared her for her future. Being named Miss Winona County Dairy Princess and representing Winona County as a finalist for Princess Kay of the Milky Way will be keeping Schossow very busy during the summer months leading up to the final competition. She has been making elementary classroom visits and will appear in many local parades. She is particularly excited for “Family Night on the Farm” on June 26, where her and other royalty will be representing the dairy industry in Winona County. Chelsea is also looking forward to touring the AMPI manufacturing facilities where the 90-lb. blocks of butter used for sculpting the heads of each of the finalists are made. When asked how she felt about her head being sculpted out of but-
ter, Chelsea said, “I’m still trying to wrap my head around the idea, but I’m very excited to see what I will look like in butter.” She added that people always ask her what she will do with a 90-lb. butter bust of herself. After some thought Chelsea decided that she is going to do a community meltdown. She plans to melt down the butter bust and have a community corn on the cob roast as a thank you for all the support she has received. The final competition for Princess Kay of the Milky Way
will be held on August 18. The finalists will be judged on a personal interview, mock media interview, a speech, and their application. The crowning for Princess Kay of the Milky Way will be on August 20 at the State Fairgrounds. Chelsea Schossow hopes to have the opportunity to devote a year of her life into promoting the dairy industry around the state and being the face of the dairy industry as Minnesota’s 61st Princess Kay of the Milky Way. Chelsea is the daughter of Keith Schossow and Cindy Terrill.

al Dairy Council (NDC), June Dairy Month was established to help stabilize dairy demand during periods of peak production when cows were turned out to pasture. To assist in that effort, NDC provided promotional materials to the 6,300 stores participating. “June Dairy Month” became the official title of the promotion in 1939 and focused on greater use of dairy products. Campaign material, prepared by NDC, was offered to producers, processors and dairy product distributors. June Dairy Month was initially funded by a one cent per pound butterfat assessment in June. During the war years, less emphasis was placed on promotion, more on surviving the war. The retailers helped customers receive an adequate supply of dairy products and provided information to help use them properly. After the war, efforts focused on resuming dairy product usage and regaining ‘lost’ butter sales. In 1947 the slogan was “30 Days for ADA in June.” The goal was “Sales, not Surplus.” By 1950, retailers, producers and processors all worked together to promote June Dairy Month. In 1955 American Dairy Association (ADA) became the national leader for June Dairy Month campaigns. The emphasis changed to sales promotion programs for dairy products, and advertising and merchandising programs were added to an already-effective public relations program. The June promotion became a month-by-month merchandising event in which one or more foods made from milk were highlighted nationwide on a monthly basis. This advertising was visible evidence of dairy farmers’ dollars at work. June Dairy Month continued to evolve over the years and entire communities across the country, both rural and urban, have embraced it and have become involved in many ways. On-farm events such as breakfasts and open
houses are popular in June, with dairy farmers throwing open their doors so that people can learn more about how they take care of cows and produce the milk that people depend on for good health. Some celebrate with product samples at creameries, grocery stores and local banks and businesses. Some dairy princess coronations happen in June, and it would not be unusual to come across a cow milking contests, cow visits at zoos, or a running event honoring June and using chocolate
milk as a refuel beverage. Traditional media outlets, especially in communities where dairy farms dot the landscape, often promote June Dairy month with remote on-farm broadcasts or trivia contests. The newer format of social media also allows for pointing out the goodness of dairy during the month. The special link between farmers and consumers is really the basis of what June Dairy Month is all about - celebrating and using a wonderful product that’s real, fresh and simple.
