By Hannah Wingert The Mabel-Canton Board of Education met for their regular meeting on June 16, 2015 at 7 p.m. The minutes from the May 19, 2015 meeting were reviewed and approved by the board with no changes. The district expressed their gratitude to the custodial staff for the great job they are doing with maintenance this summer. The board approved the hiring of Doug Ward as a .4 agriculture teacher and FFA advisor for the 2015-2016 school year. The Health and Safety Policy and Budget were reviewed. No big projects are anticipated in the upcoming year so the budget was very straightforward.

The school business manager, Todd Netzke, presented the finalized budget for the 2015-2016 fiscal year to the board. Basic aid will be increasing by 2%. Because the district has been diligent about cutting spending and waste in the last year, the overall budget was able to be lowered. Due to raised water and sewer costs, the utilities budget was higher, but the district will be reminding staff and students to be vigilant about electricity usage which will hopefully lower the bill in the coming school year. The estimated enrollment for the 2015-2016 school year is 240, with 20 students registered for kindergarten. The payment of the district bills and electronic fund transfers were reviewed and approved. See MATH “FLIP” Page 16 

R-P School Board approves extended leave amid concerns By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com

For several months, the R-P School Board has been gathering information regarding a request for an extended leave of absence from teacher Judy Vix. Twice the issue has been tabled pending more information. At the Monday, June 15 meeting, the issue was brought forth for approval again. Superintendent Chuck Ehler has clarified Vix has agreed not to seek reinstatement prior to the end of the three year period. After that time, she is within rights to seek reinstatement in a teaching

position at the district as specified by union contract. Vix is currently on requested leave of absence. Time on leave during the 20142015 school yet is not included in the extended leave. Board Director Taylor Peterson stated concern for the students in allowing the leave and suggested the district terminate the contract. In reviewing the district policy book regarding discipline, suspension, and dismissal of school district employees, specifically violations of rules, substandard performance, misconduct and what qualifies as misconduct, Peterson noted, “There’s one that includes See RP CONCERNS Page 3 

what happened. Peterson also referred to Section 414, related to mandatory reporting. “ It bugs me because of the circumstance and how it was handled. I feel like there was, as number two says, ‘Failure to protect the child from conditions or actions that may seriously endanger the child’s physical or mental health.’” Peterson discussed further concern for repeated instances for which verbal and written warnings were given by the district. “I feel giving a leave of absence, then allowing to Mrs. Vix to come back; I’m worried it may happen again, given how soon it happened; twice in such a short period of time. I know it costs money to terminate contracts, but I’d rather spend the money and keep the kids safe. I would feel much better cutting ties, just to keep the kids safe,” Peterson continued. Board Director Dean Mierau, attending the meeting via Skype, also noted concern. “I think often times, the students are held to a higher standard that the teachers in this administration. It’s nothing personal, but if we don’t set the example, and set everyone to the same standard, it’s just going to continue to come back and back.” “I agree with all those statements, and am for the kids’ safety,

but when it comes to teachers under contract, I think there’s a difference between misconduct and illnesses. Legally, I think the school needs to look at the big picture of what’s going on. I believe those types of problems are classified under illnesses and we can’t always act the way we want to act. I agree; I’m all for the punishment that you’re suggesting. I don’t think, legally on the contract we have, we have that right.” “Where do we draw the line between illness and misconduct. If caught twice in the last two years, how many times are we going to keep letting it go before something does happen?” questioned Peterson. Vix has provided no reason for the leave to the district and according to Superintendent Chuck Ehler, no reason is required. Board Chairman John Linder stated that there are differences between teacher and student punishment, as teachers are bound by contract, where union issues are involved. “Whether we like it or not, our teachers are covered by union contract. In order to terminate a teacher, you have to go through a step by step process. They can appeal those at each step. This is a reasonable compromise for us to avoid doing that process. If she successfully challenged that, it’s possible she could come back next year. It’s a reasonable solution to a situation that doesn’t have an

Monday, June 22, 2015 easy solution. In the meantime, your concerns are addressed; she’s not teaching here. It’s a better way to go than trying the other way, where there are perils and pitfalls and it may not turn out the way your think.” “Keep in mind, the request is for an extended leave of absence. She’s faithfully followed through with everything you have requested of her and she’s willing to sign an agreement, to put it in writing, that she will not be pursuing any teaching positions at R-P within the three years,” added Ehler. “Just to be clear, it states she may seek reinstatement. That’s protected by statute; protected by teachers’ rights. I encourage you to look at the request and grant that.” Legal counsel for the district has reviewed the issue and the request. “From a legal standpoint, you don’t have a winnable case because of the progressive discipline that’s involved in the termination process. We’re not in a position that it will not hold up in court of law,” responded Ehler. Authorities were not called in either instance, as Minn law does not permit the district to do so. If you would stop to look at it, look at everything that’s been done to point, you have to build a case. We’ve done everything in our power to do that. At the point where now, you have opportunity to grant leave, with no cost to district, and at the

conclusion of that, it states that she may have the right to come back, not that she will come back. It’s protected by statute.” The board approved the extended leave of absence 4:3 in a rollcall vote, with Directors Dean Mierau, Taylor Peterson, and Jon Pettit opposed. The district also approved allowing the Insurance Committee, made up of John Linder and Dean Mierau, to review and analyze property/liability quotes and select and agent for the next three school years. Previously, local insurance agent Butch Johnson brought forth concerns regarding how the process was handled. The district extended the time allowed for quotes to allow Johnson to submit a quote. A policy needs to be in place by July 1, 2015. “The board has made it very clear that it wants to do business locally. We’ve been fair and consistent in the process. If we can do business locally, we will,” stressed Ehler. The board also approved a series of hires and resignations, including the hire of Margaret Trott as the English as a Second Lan-

guage teacher and the resignation of Kirby Schmidt as middle school and high school Agriculture Career Tech teacher. A $750 payment from the district to Community and Economic Development Associates has been approved. Services to be provided, in partnership with the City of Rushford, include writing and submittal of an application for a Safe Routes to School Grant. The next regularly scheduled board meeting is Monday, July 20, at 5:30 p.m., in the high school biology room. A special meeting, for the purpose of adopting the 2015-2016 budget is scheduled for Tuesday, June 30, at 5:30 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend.

C ommentary Letter about response to Jeff Erding’s commentary... To the Editor, Sirs: I rarely read right wing extremist Jeff Erding’s diatribes, but his op-ed paean exalting the NRA as some noble patriotic organization was beyond belief. This far right organization is nothing more than a front for the billion dollar gun industry and Neo-Republican party. Woe unto anyone, right or left, that deviates from their strict orthodoxy! They regard the slaughter of innocent babies in Conn. as “collateral damage” in support of their twisted interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. They use fear as a means of collecting dues from millions of poor saps. Any sensible regulation is called a “slippery slope” towards confiscation, even when their membership agrees with things like background checks. Both I and President G. Herbert Walker Bush were members of the NRA. We turned in our membership cards when in 1993 then executive V.P. Wayne LaPierre (funny, the staying power of these guys) called the four ATF agents “Jack Booted government thugs” who were killed in the line of duty putting down the Branch Dravidian cult in Waco, Tex. You don’t call men who died for our country “thugs”, pal: got it!? Jerry Grehl Harmony, MN

Editorial Cartoon

Letter about response to Jon Pieper... To the Editor, It’s clear Jon Pieper has dusted off his DFL campaign playbook. The first entry is “if you keep repeating something often enough – even if it isn’t true – hopefully people will start to believe it.” This nonsense about State Representative Greg Davids not supporting clean water needs to stop. Jon Pieper is deliberately distorting facts in hopes of making political gains. Rep. Davids not only supported but voted for bipartisan, bicameral clean water solutions twice over the past month. The votes are not difficult to find. On May 18, an agriculture and environment bill that included a clean water compromise proposal that had been agreed upon by the House, Senate, and Governor Dayton was approved on the House floor. Davids voted for it. A new ag/environment bill was negotiated in special session recently, but it included the exact clean water language that was previously passed in May. On June 12, Davids voted for it again, and Governor Dayton has signed it into law. At what point is Pieper going to stop being the purveyor of misinformation? Davids’ support of clean water isn’t empty rhetoric; he actually has House floor votes to prove his position. Jon Pieper will stop at nothing in his narcissistic attempt to become a state lawmaker - including his refusal to recognize the truth – and it’s getting embarrassing. As Abraham Lincoln once said, “better to remain silent and to be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” Sincerely, Doug Baker Lanesboro, MN

More observations from an old soldier By Ron Scheevel Vietnam Vet As I write down these thoughts during the Memorial Day weekend I would hope that all of us will take a few minutes to remember our fallen Ron Scheevel comrades. I was a junior in high school when President Kennedy was assassinated and I had little interest in government or politics when we began our involvement in Vietnam. In reality we were already there in the late fifties. Our leaders should have been aware of the French defeat at the battle of Dien Bien Phu. As the war escalated, more of our young people were called upon to bolster the size of our forces. The response of our young people was quite varied. Some got married, some received deferments, a few went to Canada, but many enlisted, and many like myself were drafted. I remember quite clearly the fall of 1965, when I received my 1A classification and had to report to Minneapolis for a physical. The notice to report for induction came quite soon and on January 26, 1966 I was Private E-2 in the U.S. Army. My Vietnam orders came the following December after a year at Ft. Hood, Tex. I was in Vietnam by late January of 1967. The big troop buildup reached 500,000 that year and I was one of those troops. My duty as a truck/tank mechanic was quite docile compared to the grunts, marines, and special forces that spent most of their tours under fire on a regular basis. Many of our brave troops did not return from that mis-

erable war and many that did still carry scars from the conflict, both physical and psychological. Time helps heal, but most of us will carry the memories of our tours to our graves. The politics of that war are still perplexing to me. One of the reasons for our involvement was that if we (the US) didn’t stop the communists in Vietnam, there would be a “domino effect” in Asia. Using that for an excuse to enter into what was really a civil war for the Vietnamese people was probably a stretch. As for our military strategy, search and destroy, take a hill or an area and then leave to let the enemy return made absolutely no sense to me. It became routine for the politicians to try to manage the war from Washington, while soldiers were limited in their actions. Meanwhile, as the battle raged on, the antiwar protester, especially on our college campuses continued to increase their vocal opposition to the war. As the years went on, the public attitude toward the conflict became more negative in nature. For those of us in-county, the mixed messages we were receiving helped us focus on one thing. It would be best summed up by the words of a pop song popular at the time. It was title “We’ve Got to Get Out of This Place” by the Animals. The subtitle included the phrase, “if it’s the last thing we ever do”. Sadly, for many of our young troops, the song was prophetic. For those of use who returned, I believe it is our duty to keep the memories of our departed comrades alive.

Two young soldiers form our area, Steve Miller from Preston and Dave Michel from Harmony will always be in my prayers. Not a week goes by when I don’t think about them and what they might have done had they returned home to their families. We live in a world filled with people who are under the thumb of very evil leaders. It seems there is a constant turmoil in the world and the US military is being called to help control it. For the peasants and ordinary people of Vietnam, they didn’t want war anymore than we liked being there. If we must take these evil leaders on, let’s do all we can to negotiate, then sanctions on all their resources, and if that fails, I hope our leaders would have an entrance strategy for the conflict and above all and exit strategy to end it. All our leaders from JFK thru Obama have all done poorly in foreign relations. In closing, thank a soldier and/ or a veteran next time you see them. It means a lot to we who have served. God bless our troops and God Bless the USA. Former Sgt. Ronald I. Scheevel

C ommentary Remembering my father By Yvonne Nyenhuis My father was born in 1897. (32 years after the death of Abraham Lincoln). As a young man he worked as a surveyor alongside his father, who was a civil engineer. He completed basic training in the Army just as the First World Yvonne War came to Nyenhuis an end. He was then free to attend college in Bryn Athyn, Penn., where he met my mother. Their courtship took place in Toronto, Canada where they taught in a small religious school. Mom taught one through six grades and Dad taught seventh and eighth grades. My father’s passion was religion, but his dream to be a minister was thwarted and he spent the next 45 years supporting his family working as a tree surgeon for the Asplundh company. I was the baby of the family. When I was six I watched from a safe distance in the upstairs hall as my two older sisters were fighting, screaming and pulling each other’s hair. Dad quietly walked up to them. He looked distressed, shook his head sadly and said without raising his voice, “Little children, love one another.” My startled sisters froze where they stood and burst into laughter. Of course they promptly forgot whatever they were fighting about! Dad loved Longfellow’s poetry. He enthusiastically regaled us with “Under the spreading chestnut tree the village smithy stands. The Smith a mighty man is he, with large and sinewy hands.” He recited it frequently in its entirety. He named my sister “Evangeline” after the Acadian heroine in Longfellow’s epic poem. On occasion he would “tuck me in” at night and sing hymns to me. His repertoire included “Ore the silent waters”, a song about creation and “Watchman tell us of the night”, an assurance that the Lord is watching over us and will keep us from harm.

We always said the Lord’s Prayer. It seemed to me the key phrase was “Thy will be done”. We are meant to trust in Divine Providence. The Lord knows what is best for us. I feel now that the truth is too “big” to fit in any one religion. At this point I’m unsure about the nature of God and life after death. I marvel at the exquisite world around me and the order I see in the universe. The source of life itself is a mystery. Still I have hope and a kind of faith in the unknown. Dad and I had a tradition on Sunday mornings. I would wake up at dawn, creep into my parents’ room and tap Dad on the shoulder. He would give me a sleepy smile and ease himself quietly to the floor. In robes and slippers we headed down to the living room and settled ourselves on the sofa, where we examined pictures of stories from the bible. A favorite of mine was “Joseph and the coat of many colors.” Saturdays my father sometimes took on private jobs to make extra money. When I was nine he invited me to go along as his “brush-man”. I happily piled branches that fell on the ground into the truck. I could hear my father and his co-worker calling to each other as they worked. What really caught my attention was my father’s voice. A very pretty woman with her hair neatly secured in a French roll and wearing high heels walked under the tree where my father was trimming and continued down the sidewalk. My father’s voice rang out loud and clear. “You know Tiso, this street is nothing but a parade of feminine beauty!” The young woman turned with an expression of surprise and delight and smiled. I never saw my father flirt before! When it was time to go home, Tizo, the foreman, approached me smiling and handed me a five dollar bill. Dad nodded with approval. It was mine to keep. The men my father worked with tended to be a rough lot, drinking, gambling, and womanizing. My sisters and I would tease him, asking his opinion about one or the other. We

knew that while our father held himself to a high standard of behavior, he was reluctant to criticize others. He would hesitate as if he was seriously considering the answer. Then he would say thoughtfully, “Well, he has his good points!” In closing, I share with you this poem that I wrote for my father. When I was a very little girl, (It happened, so I’m told ) My father was my special knight, A giant strong and bold. He stood so tall he reached the sky, His hands were warm and strong. He’d raise me to his shoulder. Where he went, I went along. In the morning while he was shaving, I kept him vastly entertained, with stories I invented, but told as “true fact” just the same! With serious expression, my father surveyed his beard. Then beneath the fluffy white, his chin disappeared.

“Um-uhs” and “well, wells” from the foam emerged. My stories gained momentum as on and on I splurged. When he mowed the lawn I skipped behind him. When he chopped wood I was there. He had no peace, I saw to that. I was everywhere! My father was determined, too and had a powerful hand, A mighty spanking could be wrought, when occasion did demand! Such a time I do recall, before I had turned six, my bedroom’s freshly papered wall I crayoned just for kicks! With measured step upon the stair, I heard my father’s feet. There was no escape, I took my fate, I had been indiscreet! Now I am a grown up girl, I don’t use crayon at all. I find it much more fun today to paint murals on the wall! My father was a balding man since he was twenty-nine. All offers of a fine toupee he cheerfully declined.

The loss of hair upon his head he sturdily allowed, denoted growth of wisdom and you could find him in a crowd! My father had his axioms should we be inclined to stray, “The more you have, the more you want” was one he liked to say. When I asked for money to go on spending sprees, he’d shake his head sadly, “Money doesn’t grow on trees!” My father ate his vegetables and maintained with all the rest, I should eat my spinach, “It would put hair upon my chest!” My father was a patient man, his scholarship I sought through two painful years of Latin- eraham, erahs, eraht! I never would have made the course, it was plain to see, my daddy should have graduated, heaven knows, not me! The years have passed, carried away by some over zealous caddy. but one thing hasn’t changed at all, my heart still belongs to Daddy!

Boots and Badges: the home stretch By Ellen Whalen As we are into the last couple of weeks of the collection period for the Boots and Badges: Honoring Fillmore County Veterans book, we continue to be impressed by the amount of items offered to us. At this point, we have well over 360 veterans accounted for in photos, plus many more in name only. This is a great representation of our

county, and we urge those of you haven’t yet submitted items to contribute. We also appreciate you spreading the word to family and friends who may be out of the county and not on Facebook or use the internet.

93rd annual MPPOA (Minnesota Peace and Police Officers Association) Conference By Sheriff Tom Kaase Deputy Jesse Grabau (along with his wife Samantha and their two sons), dispatcher Samantha Keasling, and I (along with my wife Dorle) attended this conference this past weekend. It was a very good, busy, and informative conference with up-todate information on Law Enforcem e n t Issues. A new MPPOA public information campaign that will be starting soon is the “Faces Behind The Badge”. This will be a weekly highlight of a Minnesota Officer for the outstanding work they do, over and above what is expected of them, which has a positive impact on a member or mem-

bers of their community. So please stay tuned and watch for this. Another highlight of this conference was the presentation of the Minnesota Police Officer of the Year Awards, which list

below (posted on the internet by the Associated Press). A St. Paul police sergeant has been named Police Officer of the Year by a Minn law enforcement association for his work with East and West African immigrant communities. Sgt. Mark Ficcadenti was

given the honor Sunday by the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association at its annual convention in Alexandria. The group says Ficcadenti organized the city’s first East African Junior Po l i c e Academy last year and is a key connection between police and the Somali community. S t . Paul officer Mark Ross and Minn State Tr o o p er Brian Beuning received honorable mention awards. The group says Ross was working as a school resource officer when he led an investigation into a father sexually abusing his daughter. Beuning rescued a woman from her car amid rising flood waters in southwestern Minn.

TRAIL DAYS

Continued from Page 1

Stitches, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. so stop in and meet the owner, Terri Allen, and take a look around. Children will certainly have fun playing with the toys in the Sand Pile on the volleyball court in the City Park and prizes will be given. The Sand Pile is sponsored by O’Connell Excavating. Children’s Games, sponsored by the Fountain Fire Department, will also be held in the park beginning at 1 p.m. One of the favorite activities of many children and adults is

the Dunk Tank which is sponsored by Richard’s Pump Service. Come and see who is in the tank through the day and dunk them all! A Teen & Young Adult Bean Bag Tournament will be held in downtown Fountain with registration at 11 a.m. and the tournament beginning at noon. Many will be bringing their tractors to town to compete in the Tractor Pull which begins at noon, with weigh-in at 11 a.m. The Tractor Pull is sponsored by Ken Koch, John Sveen, and Ron Reisner. In past years the Tractor

Monday, June 22, 2015 Pull has been held on Sunday, but has been moved to Saturday, so don’t miss it! The musical sounds of Steve Arnold and Walter Bradley will fill the streets of downtown Fountain from 2 - 4 p.m. playing everyone’s favorite tunes. Many attendees of Trail Days will plan on sitting close to the music for the entire two hours in order to enjoy every minute of the local talent. A Kids Ball Game will begin at 2:30 p.m. and it is always hard to tell who is having more fun during the game, the kids or the parents, as everyone has a great time no matter who wins. Each participant will receive a token from Dairy Queen. Speaking of winning, the Fountain Study Club will be hosting a Decorated Bike Contest & Parade at 4:30 p.m. at the ball diamond in the city park. Kids can bring their decorated bikes or trikes for a chance to win one of three bikes that will be given away. Entry forms can be picked up at First State Bank of Fountain. Bikes or trikes will be on display at the ball field following the contest and parade. The bikes have been donated by Stephas Plumbing & Heating, GP Truck Painting, and Ron & Sandy Junge. The hilarious Farmers & Merchants Ball Game will begin at 5 p.m. and if you have never seen it you are missing out! With crazy rules, some of which include costumes, the participants in this game all have a great sense of humor and cause the audience to burst out laughing time and time again. A wide variety of valuable prizes will be given away during the

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

ball game, so be sure to purchase raffle tickets and listen for your name to be announced for your chance to win one of the many prizes to be handed out. Dairy Night on the Farm will be held on Saturday from 5 8 p.m. at the Michael Redalen farm located at 30046 High Road, Fountain. A meal will be served consisting of cheeseburgers, potato salad, cheese curds, and baked beans will be served, along with milk and water. The ever-popular ADA Malt Stand will also be on hand serving the delicious cold treats. Eats and sweets will also be available around Fountain including concessions at the ball field, Relay for Life popcorn stand sponsored by the Walbridge family, and the Fountain Cemetery Board will be selling drinks and snacks near the basketball court. There will also be delicious sandwiches available from the Fillmore County Pork Producers. For those who may be looking for adult beverages, those will be found at the “Sinkhole Saloon”, which is the name that has been given to the Fountain Trail Days beer wagon as Fountain is the Sinkhole Capital of the U.S.A. More laughs will be found as Comedian Scott Novotny takes the stage in the Fountain Community Center at 8 p.m. Novotny, who grew up in Rochester, Minn., began his career in comedy at the Eagles Cancer Telethon in Rochester. He has been a full-time professional stand-up comedian for 30 years. His comedy is filled with laughs but not with profanity. When asked to describe his act, Novotny states “it’s sort of a combination of Robin Wil-

Page 9

liams and Red Skelton whirred in a blender” and adds “I love performing for audiences in the Midwest”, saying “they really enjoy my good clean sense of humor” and the Fountain Trail Days audience will surely enjoy his comedy act also. The comic performance is sponsored by The First State Bank of Fountain and Root River State Bank of Chatfield, Minn. There is no cost for the event, but free-will donations will be accepted and appreciated to support future Fountain Trail Days. Following the comedic performance the good time will continue outside on First Street with music by “Wicked Sounds”, featuring DJ Dyana who will surely have everyone dancing in the street. Start your Sunday off right with a warm and hearty pancake breakfast in the community center, which will be served from 7:30 - 11:30 a.m. The breakfast will include pancakes, sausage, juice, and coffee. There is no cost for the breakfast, although free will donations will be accepted. Breakfast can be enjoyed before or after attending the Community Church Service in the city park at 9:00 a.m. Bring your lawn chair and gather with friends and family. The church service will be hosted by Pastor Karla Kirkeby and Pastor Deanna Woodward. Volunteers are needed for various activities. If you would be able to volunteer your time and talents please contact the staff at The First State Bank of Fountain at (507) 268-4321.

Kingsland personnel and calendar changes ok’d By Rich Wicks Kingsland School Board met on June 15 in regular session. Members present included Kristin Beck, Gwen Howard, Ann Oeltjen, Deb Larson, Doug Plaehn, and Superintendent John McDonald. Following the Pledge of Allegiance and approval of the consent agenda items, Superintendent McDonald gave public thanks to William and Elaine Pedrow, for their $500 donation to the weight room. Doug Plaehn then showed a picture of the Kingsland Trap Shooting team, whose seven members had recently been to Alexandria to compete in the state meet. He also mentioned that Cheyenne Hamilton was honored for placing third in the conference. Plaehn pointed out that trap shooting has already become the second largest high school sport in Minn (by number of participants), and he predicted that it will overtake football very soon.

Business Manager Todd Lechtenberg updated the board on budgetary status. He highlighted that salaries are up (compared to last year), and utilities costs are about $30,000 below last year. He summarized that, “Overall, we’re in good shape.” Superintendent McDonald discussed the possible refunding of 2006A bonds, and showed the market fluctuations that have occurred in the past six months, which greatly impact the timing of refunding decisions. He said they’ll watch to see when refunding is appropriate. McDonald reminded the board that Randy Lutz (Consulting & Construction) will bring recommendations to the board’s July meeting, regarding the longterm facility plans. McDonald also gave a brief legislative wrap-up, including that Minn voted to give an increase of $525 million to education over the next two years, but he said state law-

makers left $800 million (of the $1.9 billion surplus) unspent, and this may later be used for tax relief or other uses. Next, there was an update on World’s Best Workforce and Strategic Plan. Principals James Hecimovich and Chris Priebe highlighted WBW happenings at their schools, including progress on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Strategies (PBIS). McDonald mentioned the mentoring system for teachers, and highlighted the various means of communication that Kingsland uses to keep everyone informed, including the new electronic sign, Facebook and Twitter, newsletters, the district website, and newspapers. Superintendent McDonald refreshed the board on the five goals required by the state as part of the World’s Best Workforce program, which are: all students display school readiness; all third grade students read at grade level; all achievement gaps are closed; students are career and college ready; and all students graduate. He showed data on where Kingsland stands in progressing toward these goals. In New Business, the board

accepted resignations of staff (Jennifer DeKok, Tammy Hamersma, Samantha Van Gorp, Angela Solberg, Anna Krahnand, Angie Gaskill) and approved hiring of staff (Angela Solberg, Anna Krahn, Erin Milz, Lisa Snitker, Ted Sherwood, Joey Strike, Tanner Lange, and ESY Staff). Names appearing on both lists indicates a staffperson who resigned from one position in order to fill another. Tenure was approved for Brian Feight. The board discussed the Joint Powers Agreement. Ann Oeltjen pointed out that some wording needed to be corrected in the document. The board voted to approve the agreement, pending making the corrections noted. The board also discussed a change to the 2015/2016 School Calendar. “Weather Days” would be (in order of usage): May 27, 6, and 13. Originally, the third “weather day” was to be May 20, but this needed to be changed because of the Whitewater trip scheduled for that date. The board voted to approve the change to the school calendar as proposed. The board approved the first reading of handbooks, and approved the Health and Safety estimated three-year budget as submitted by Todd Lechtenberg. Board member Gwen Howard

asked, “Do we ever monitor our indoor air quality? Is there a separate company that comes in for that?” John Dols answered that this had actually occurred earlier that same day. The meeting adjourned about 7:45 p.m. The next regular meeting of the Kingsland Board will be Monday, July 20, at 6:30 p.m. in the district conference room.

Rhubarb Festival Rhubarb Thank You

Principals Priebe and Hecimovich shared progress on World’s Best Workforce Photo by Rich Wicks

A Huge to all of our volunteers and to everyone who came for the fun. It just couldn’t get any better. The weather was perfect. Ardie and the crew made the park shine. Everyone came to share in the love of Rhubarb and discover the delicious taste of this lowly springtime plant. Thanks to the runners and their organizers who got the festival off to a running start. Great music filled the park the whole day thanks to the Rhubarb Sisters, ArnoldBradley band, Tom Schramm and Over the Waterfall, and the Rutabaga Brothers. We had art, a zoo, a story tree, and games galore, which all ran smoothly because of our excellent volunteers. A special thanks to Dr. Kay and her crew of food volunteers who kept calm all through that long tasting line. Thanks to everyone who make something special to enter in the tasting contest. Thanks to the best setup crew yet and to those who helped clean up. We appreciate each and every volunteer so much. We can’t find enough ways to say thanks to everyone for making the Rhubarb Festival such a great family event.

Rushford Village awards bid; reviews permitting requirements By Kirsten Zoellner The City of Rushford Village has awarded the bid for the 2015 Pavement Management Plan to Dunn Blacktop Company, of Winona, in the amount of $158,838. Engineer’s estimate for the work was $140,000. Costs related to street widening were significantly higher than anticipated. At the Tuesday, June 16 council meeting, Bolton & Menk engineer Brian Malm detailed project plans. Included in the project is sealcoating on Money Creek Road, Hayes Street, Sherwood Street, and Goodrich Street, from Highway 43 to the end of 2014 project work. Additionally, Darr Lane will see bituminous resurfacing and portions of Prospect Street will be widened. Councilor Dennis Overland suggested a summary detailing the cost of work done in 2014 and 2015 to determine the cost of remaining road work. Initially, the city had planned a 10-year Management Plan, with the amount to be bonded, but the plan was eventually halted by a petition. Overland suggested the city look at potential bonding next year. Malm pointed out that the city is slated to receive $30,000 additional Local Government Aid (LGA) from the state, payable in July and December of this year. “The city does well with the formula having 62.5 miles of roadway.” LGA will be appropriated again in 2016. “It’s a positive thing,” added Malm. Additional road-related projects were also discussed. The city conducted a walkthrough of Cooperative Way to ensure all work to be done under an extended warranty is identified and corrected. The Tuff Lane project received two bids, but the city rejected both, opting to rebid the project. It is estimated at $100,000. A second public hearing for modifications to Zoning Ordinance 5 was held during the regular meeting. The Planning and Zoning Commission felt that changes made since the last public hearing were significant enough to warrant a second hearing. The biggest change in the ordinance was related to Conditional Use Permits (CUP). Annual renewal of a CUP is not required. Permit holders are allowed to keep the permits as long as they abide by conditions spelled out in the permit. Whenever pos-

sible, the city will utilize Interim Use Permits, which have a specific end date. Planning and Zoning Board member Glen Kopperud questioned whether in limiting new CUPs, old ones could be reviewed and “cleaned up.” Attorney Tom Manion noted that CUPs are recorded by statute and that in order to end one, permit holders would need to relinquish them. “To remove a CUP, you have to go through the same process as obtaining one, by public hearing,” added Joyce Iverson. The council approved the recommendation unanimously. Zoning Administrator Jon Pettit and Clerk Kristina Mart detailed an ongoing issue related to the obtaining of permits for remodeling projects. According to Mart, the city has been dealing with homeowners utilizing Rochester company Larson Siding and Windows not obtaining needed permits for projects. Mart stated homeowners have been told they don’t need a permit, when in fact a permit is needed for any home or business remodel, regardless of scope. Further complications arose from miscommunication from the company. “They’re coming in and telling residents they don’t need permits. It’s a real big mess,” said

Mart. Mayor Gordon Johnson clarified that homeowners, not contractors are required to make an application and get an approved permit prior to any remodel project, regardless of whether or not there is a fee applied. Homeowners, not contractors, are also required to pay any related fees. “If there’s a fine, it goes to the homeowners,” cautioned Johnson. Homeowners are also reminded that remodelers need a valid Minn contractor’s license. “The rule is there. We need to enforce the rules,” added councilor Overland. The city will reiterate the information to the public in the July newsletter. Additionally, the city will send a letter to Larson Siding and Windows detailing the process and what is expected. If problems continue with the firm, the city will send a letter through legal counsel. If problems still persist, the city will take matters to the next step. “If you’re doing business in our district, Rushford Village, you have to have an approved application and required permitting for any alteration,” affirmed Pettit. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, July 7, at 7 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Pickles

Domestic sHortHair/mix Female • Cat • Adult

I’m a cute little scamp named Pickles. My owner got me from a friend’s farm and gave me up because I didn’t do well in our apartment. I would do best in a home that has plenty of room to run around and climb, high places to hang out, windows to look out, and lots of stimulation so I don’t get bored. I like dogs, but I do not like children. I am adorable and sweet, but I don’t care much for being picked up or held. If you are a cat-savvy person, come to the shelter and say, “I’ll have Pickles, please!” Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $15 + tax For more information on adopting Pickles visit our website: www.pawsandclaws.org Paws and Claws Humane soCiety 3224 19th Street NW, Rochester, MN 55901 (507) 288-7226 • info@pawsandclaws.org

MATH “FLIP”

Continued from Page 1 The Dean of Students/Interim Administrator, Michelle Weidemann, gave the technology report. The school will be able to continue a 1:1 ratio of devices to students in the 7th through 12th grades. They are also hoping to be able to try Chromebooks for high school students. Another elementary class will be “flipping” math class this year since it was a success last year. Instead of the teacher giving the lesson during class time and sending worksheets home with students as homework, the teacher will pre-record her lesson and the students will watch it on a computer or device at home before the class. This allows the teacher to use class time to work with the students on their math skills and to give extra teaching time to those who need it. This method of teaching is still in the trial stage, but has been effective thus far. Superintendent Jennifer Backer noted that the district has made postings for a .2 art teacher position, a boys basketball coach, and a paraprofessional. Backer updated the board on the latest news from legislature. More money than before is being put towards early learning such as headstart and preschool. The licensing procedure for teachers is changing, with tougher and more targeted testing. The ACTs have now been classified as optional for students to take. Legislature also made moves to cut down on the number of hours students spend doing testing in lieu of actual learning time. Schools are expected to adopt a new student discipline code with intentions of preventing suspensions. They will be given examples of alternative methods of discipline in the next few months to implement and Backer will be required to present cases to the school board before students can be suspended. There were several wording changes to note in the third reading of the 2015-2016 student handbook. AP testing costs were clari-

fied and the district will continue to pay for 50% of the cost of the testing with the student’s family paying the other half. This will be reviewed on a yearly basis. Board member Jane Hall brought the Free and Reduced Lunch Program to the board’s attention. Each application filled out benefits the school, even if the student does not qualify for the program. The school receives compensatory funds for students participating in the program. In this coming school year, students will be encouraged to fill out the application regardless of family income. Hall also wished to discuss the snack cart option at the school. Backer informally spoke with several elementary teachers who all agreed that it was confusing to run and created extra work. It was difficult to keep track of which students had paid for the cart and which ones hadn’t. It was decided to drop the snack cart and ask parents to send snacks to school for their children instead. If the demand for the snack cart is high, it can easily be added back into the school day. Interim Administrator Michelle Weidemann has been doing more research addressing the questions the board had about early outs, late starts, and food for the SAC program. It was decided to remain open during teacher workshop days, early outs, and late starts. The cost of snacks will be built into the price of childcare. Jane Hall asked if the billing procedures could be clarified in the handbook, which Weidemann will address. Quite a few people have asked about the program, but very few applications have been received. Board member Chris Loppnow said that when she went online to download the application for a friend, it didn’t work. Weidemann will make sure the link is working on the school website. A teacher workshop will be held from August 31 through September 3. The first day of school is set for September 8, 2015. The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be held on July 21, 2015.

County Board of Appeal and Equalization By Karen Reisner On June 16 county assessor Cynthia Blagsvedt reviewed the role of the board and summarized 2014 sales, new construction, and valuations at the Board of Appeal and Equalization. One residential appeal was acted on. Board member Duane Bakke asked if any of the fourteen (city and township) local boards granted any appeals this year. Blagsvedt confirmed that none had been granted this year. If a property owner appeals at the local city or township board and is not granted his/her appeal, the next step is coming to the county board. The board is tasked with ensuring equalization based on facts presented and the property tax law. They have the authority to review assessments throughout the county. The board can increase or decrease estimated market value based on evidence provided. The burden of proof is on the appellant who can support his case by producing an appraisal and/or comparable sales. By state statute property is reassessed at maximum intervals of five years. The county has 19,100 taxable real estate parcels and each year 20% are reassessed. About 1400 parcels are tax exempt, which includes properties like churches and schools.

The 14 cities within the county had a total of $7.78 million in new construction in 2014, which was over $2 million less than 2013. Townships and cities together had nearly $16.84 million in new construction in 2014, which was down over $3 million from 2013. The total estimated market value of all properties within the county is $4.1 billion. Over three-quarters, or $3.14 billion, is agricultural/rural land. Residential properties account for $785 million. About $60 million is classified as seasonal recreation and $120 million is classified as commercial/industrial/B&B. With the 2015 Fillmore County assessments there is a slight increase of 0.16% in total value countywide over 2014 assessments. The total value for all townships was down 0.18%. The total value for all the cities was up 1.75%. Whalan and Preston had the largest percent increases. There were 15 commercial/ industrial sales county wide with a decrease of 0.81% in value. There were 38 agricultural/rural sales countywide with a decrease of 0.47% in value (A soils remained constant at $7,400/ acre; B and C soils had a $100/ acre decrease to $7,100/acre; pasture, woods, and waste increased by $100/acre or $2,800/acre, $2,600/acre, and $1,900/acre

respectively; and seasonal recreational land decreased $300/acre to $3,300/acre). County appraiser Ron Vikre commented that agricultural values tend to be heading down, but an occasional sale still pops higher. Blagsvedt added that she is pretty sure values will be down some next year. There were 211 residential sales countywide with a 2.53% increase in total value. Harmony city, city of Rushford Village, Mabel, and Preston city had increased values. Seasonal residential recreational, apartment, and mobile home park values increased 4.97%. Allen Benson Appeal Mr. Benson was not present and had not produced any comparable sales. His appeal had been heard at his local board, Rushford Village, who made no change to his value. His residential property value had increased by 19% from the year prior. Appraiser Vikre reported that he had reassessed the property and adjusted the value down about 5% or nearly $10,000. The value was adjusted down based on an interior inspection which had not been done for some time and a reduction of square footage for the garage. Vikre recommended approval of the reassessed value which was unanimously approved by the board.

Peterson hashes out project details, planning commission work options to pay for the service out of the project contingency or with general fund cash reserve, which could tie the city’s hands for other potential projects down the road. The council voted unanimously to rely on the contingency, but will utilize cash reserves if contingency is needed for other issues. Construction meetings for the County 25 project will continue to be held each Monday morning, at 8 a.m., at city hall, for the duration of the project. The meetings are public. The Peterson Planning Commission has been busy working to create a policy proposal for easements and utility movement. After reviewing several policies of other municipalities, the commission recommended to the council utilizing the easement policy of Shakopee, adjusting for Peterson’s particular needs. The city will keep easement definition sections one, two, and five classifying easements into the following categories: “Standard lot line drainage and utility easements that do not contain underground storm sewer, sanitary sewer, or water main utilities, drainage and utility easements that contain underground storm sewer, sanitary sewer, or water main utilities, and trail or pedestrian easements.” The policy is aimed at giving clear, concise guidelines on easement issues. The draft policy was approved and will be modified for Peterson. In regards to utility easements, there appears to be no known easements for power lines. According to City Clerk Megan Boyum, moving of electrical utility poles, by the request of the property owner, will be paid for by the property owner, with work done by a contractor hired by city and paid up front. A request to move an existing electrical pole by Gary and Shirley Quarve is still at a stand still. Quarves have had a certified property survey done, but adjacent property owner Mike Halvorson is contesting the results and is in the process of having his property surveyed. Planning Commission member Karlin Symons noted that the state does not certify surveys and two separate surveys could both be disputed, although would hopefully agree. If not, the legal process may need to proceed to rectify the issue. “The city can’t get involved in property boundary disputes,” cautioned Symons. It was additionally noted that access to the pole requires access easement to both properties. Two variances for properties were considered by the council. One, for construction of a house by Matt Atkinson on the footprint of a former home, was approved with little question. The second, a variance request by Chris and Lisa Price for their Prospect Street property was met with resistance by adjacent property owner Lynda Gorder and her son, Steve Gorder. The Prices are requesting to More than a dozen residents turned up at the June 10 Peterson construct a 36’ by 36’ garage, with Council meeting.

Photo by Kirsten Zoellner property line. ten feet is the ordiBy Kirsten Zoellner Already in the midst of the County State Aid Highway 25 project, the Peterson City Council tackled a bevy of issues including bonding for the project, water rates and revenues, property variances, property and utility easements and movement, and the continuing Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan. More than a dozen were in attendance at the Wednesday, June 10 meeting. Financial consultant Mike Bubany, of David Drown Associates, was on hand to discuss the bonds the city will utilize to fund the County 25 project. Weighing variables against taxpayer affordability, Bubany suggested the city opt for two pockets of statutory authority for the project. “The reason I’m using two pieces of authority is because this project is known in my industry as an improvement project, where you’re going to specially assess adjacent property owners for a portion of the cost. In that authority, Chapter 429, it requires you to assess at least 20% of the total property cost to the adjacent property and we’re not going to do that,” explained Bubany. “That’s why I’ve separated this into two deals.” “Let’s be clear; it’s only one bond issue. The paperwork behind the scenes is identifying two different pieces of authority. One piece is the improvement piece, that’s assessed, roughly $305,000 in total. The remaining amount, $270,000, would be issued as Utility Revenue Bond to pay for water costs.” The term of the bond is 20 years. During previous capital financial planning, Bubany and the city identified water revenues to pay a large portion of the city’s project payments. The reason for identifying water revenues was due to the low level of the city’s current water rate, roughly 1/3 the cost of other area municipalities. “We thought that was a position of strength,” added Bubany. There will be no rating on the bond issuance. Typically, there is a fee with securing rating and the cost of this project is right on the threshold of what Bubany considers worth rating. Going without rating is not recommended in competitive bond sales, but Bubany has also suggested the city

opt against competitive bond sale, instead utilizing United Bankers’ Bank, an investment firm well rated in this type of bonding, representing a number of banks within the state. A scale of interest rates was provided by the firm and was compared to those of competitive sale, including the standard $10,000 rating fee, and rates were found to be similar. The bond will have a call option of February 1, 2023. No prepayment of the bond is allowed before that date. Having this in place secures a better fixed interest rate for the city. The council approved granting the two pieces of statutory authority for the bond unanimously. Water rates will need to be adjusted in the future. During capital financial planning, it was determined that the average residential rate needs to be over $30 to get revenue in line. With operational expenses to date, plus bond payment, the city will be $14,000-15,000 short, despite the positive strides made by the last rate adjustment. “It’s a nice bump in rates, but it just didn’t go all the way,” noted Bubany. “Every month that goes by, you’re losing potential revenue.” The council will continue to review potential rate restructuring and projected increases before the July council meeting. A decision is expected at that time. In relation to the County 25 project, some false assumptions on both the county and city behalf has led to the realization that an additional $25,000 will be needed for water inspection during installation of a new water main. While both entities were aware of the need for inspection, both assumed the other was supervising and providing payment for it. After the preconstruction meeting, the city came to an agreement with the county. Fillmore County will supervise the water inspection for some of the work and critical areas will be inspected by engineers at SEH. The agreement will assist in cost savings to the city, avoiding having to have the engineering firm make the two hour trip to Peterson, at a rate of $200 per hour, for all water inspection. The $25,000 for inspection of lines did not get put into construction and engineering costs, but will need to be put in bond. The city reviewed the

nance minimum without variance. The Gorders had concern over the size of the garage on a small city lot, the proximity of the garage to their property, and for potential resale problems. “I think the garage should stay within setback,” said Steve Gorder. Clerk Boyum noted the Planning Commission utilizes a practical difficulties test, with three variables, for determination of a variance. The commission found that all three variables fit the request, particularly the third; essential character. “It’s in harmony with intent of our ordinance to clean up yards. It fits the essential character of city ordinance,” noted Boyum. While there are no state statute that says cities can’t approve a variance, even with adjacent property owner opposed, the city considered Gorder’s assertion of their opinion having no weight in the matter. “I feel we’re being railroaded,” he added. Several properties within Peterson have conflicting property surveys. Councilor Dick Lee noted

that often citizens can’t afford a survey, but that the city shouldn’t pay for cost of legal surveys to privately-owned properties. The planning commission was unaware there was a property boundary dispute in the matter, prior to voting on the recommending the ordinance to the city council. The city council gave Price the green light to build if he can do it without a variance. If a variance is still needed, the council approved it, subject to the property owners coming to a written landowner’s agreement that must be documented to the city. In other news, the city approved an official Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan to be provided to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). The city was instructed in 2010 to update city hall, particularly entrance ramps and handicap-accessible bathrooms, to ADA compliance. Those projects are now done and the city has been asked to submit a transition plan, to be updated every three years, to the USDA. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Wednesday, July 8, at 7 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Preston approves EDA recommendations By Karen Reisner Cathy Enerson, Economic Development Authority Coordinator, recommended that the city move forward with Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) applications at the June 16 city council meeting. The council approved the application for a Small Cities Block Grant, a DEED grant, for commercial rehabilitation. The $300 cost associated with submitting the grant application will come out of the EDA Fund. The grant program will aid in the renovation of downtown Preston. The city has $74,000 in Minnesota Investment Fund (MIF)

revolving funds. MIF funds are awarded to local units of government which provide loans to assist expanding businesses. The council approved the use of these funds to satisfy the 20% private contribution required. As a revolving loan, payment of this money will be paid back to the city for another program in the future. A second part of the Small Cities Block Grant is the apartment rehabilitation program. This program “would offer rental property owners the opportunity to apply for the rental housing rehab loan program.” Approval was given for the EDA to apply for Greater Minnesota Housing Revolving Loan Funds to be used to sat-

North Regional Pond Brett Grabau, Stantec, explained that the pond is not in compliance with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) regulations because it is not holding water as it was designed to do. The pond is designed to hold water during large rain events treating the runoff through settlement before being released though the outlet structure. Grabau expects that water permeates through a karst feature. Grabau offered three options to alter the pond to meet MPCA regulations and to protect the karst, including a synthetic liner, clay liner, or the conversion of the pond to a dry pond with filtration. The conversion to a dry pond will be by far the least costly fix, estimated to cost $35,000. The MPCA has agreed to this fix. Stantec recommended that the city move forward with the dry pond plan. There is the possibility that the pond could repair itself given enough time, but not likely in the near future. A contract with A-1 for the industrial park project is expected to come in about $30,000 less

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Why are “new” license plates issued every seven years? Answer: Mi n n e s o t a State Statute 168.12 states, “Plates issued for passenger automobiles Troy H. must be Christianson issued for a seven-year period. All plates issued under this paragraph must be replaced if they are seven years old or older at the time of registration renewal or will become so during the registration period.” The replacement is in part due to the safety reflectorization required for the plate. It’s required that Minn license plates be readable from 110 feet and be visible from a vehicle equipped

Fillmore County District Court On June 8, 2015, Zachary Ian Herbert, of Schenectady, appeared before District Court Judge Jodi L. Williamson. Herbert is charged with Domestic Assault – By Strangulation, a felony with a maximum sentence of a $5,000 fine, three years in prison, or both. On or about June 1, 2015, within Fillmore County, the defendant allegedly assaulted a family member or household member by strangulation.

than the base bid which could offset the cost of a conversion to a dry pond. The council decided to wait until August before taking action. Other business in brief •Sheila Craig, President of the Preston Historical Society, requested and received approval for a $3,000 appropriation for 2015 from the city for the Historical Society. This is the same amount that was appropriated in 2014. Craig updated the council on the Historic Elevator and the O’Hara School restoration projects. •A request from Marlene McKenzie and Martha Quanrud to have the alley behind their properties blacktopped with a cost share of 60%-city and 40%-property owners was denied with a 2-3 vote. The city received a quote to make the improvement from Rochester Sand and Gravel in September 2014 in the amount of $5,353. After some discussion a motion to allow the 60-40 cost share failed with councilmen David Harrison, David Collett, and Kurt Reicks voting no. In a letter to the council McKenzie and Quanrud explained their request was brought up last fall by Dan Christianson at a council meeting. The two women noted that the alley is “effectively in front of” their homes and asked that the improvements be made under the policy that was in effect at that time. The city’s policy has changed

since last fall requiring 100% of the cost of an alley improvement to be assessed to the benefiting property owners. •Jim Bakken, Public Works, asked for approval to repair a storm sewer culvert inlet on the David and Helen Winslow property on Fillmore St. E. The city has tried to fix the washing out problem several times without success. An estimate for a permanent repair offered by Ron Scheevel, Scheevel and Sons, was quoted at a not to exceed cost of $1,142. Approval was given to go forward with the repair of the storm sewer culvert inlet as presented. •Ambulance director Ryan Throckmorton asked that a weekend stipend for on-call pay be increased from $1 per hour to $3 per hour on weekends from 6 p.m. on Friday through 6 p.m. on Sunday. He explained the increase is needed due to lack of volunteers to cover weekend hours. The increased was unanimously approved. •A resolution was approved allowing the sale through public auction of a tax forfeited lot in Golfview Estates. This lot (lot 4, block 2) is considered unbuildable since there would be considerable cost to relocate utilities (electric, gas, cable, and telephone) which run down the middle of the lot. The county has agreed to grant a utility easement to the city prior to the sale.

Minnesota’s challenging environment stresses the plate’s sheeting and reflectorization and those in rural areas are subjected to additional strains. The replacement

By Paul Trende Falcon Girls Take Second It is another step. And head coach Lane Powell couldn’t ask for a much better effort. One year after Fillmore Central’s girls golf team made its first ever trip to state, finishing third, mostly the same group of gals The returned. Trende They were bested by Report just one other team. FC used excellent all-around play each day at the Class A state meet Paul Trende at Pebble Creek Golf Course in Becker to finish as state runner-up. The Falcons (350) sat narrowly in third place after Day One, trailing defending state champion Legacy Christian Academy (346) and Minneota (346). Defending state runner-up BOLD (353) sat in fourth place. Freshman Grace Miller (42, 41; 83) and 8th grader Madison Scheevel (42, 45; 87) were leading the Lady Falcons, Miller in 8th place overall, Scheevel tied for 16th. FC then out-shot the Vikings (Minneota) by nine strokes Day Two to supplant them in second place. They finished with a two day 36-hole total of 701. It was significantly better than FC’s Section title winning mark of 745. The Falcons two state totals, 350 and 351, each bested their top two combined regular season 9-hole totals (178, 180; 358). They played literally their best golf of the year. Minneota (706) took third, BOLD fourth (711). The defending state champion LCA Lions (679) of Andover

really upped the ante Day Two, going from tied with Minneota to winning by 22 strokes. Both Kayla Ruf and Sophie Gray put up Day Two 79’s. Ruf, a sophomore, added the same score Day One to finish with a 158, good enough for second place overall. Heritage Christian Academy’s Kiera Smith (153) was the overall medalist. She never cracked 40 on any 9-holes. Gray took fourth overall with a 161. FC’s Miller (166) finished tied for sixth. She was a beacon of consistency, going 42, 41, 41, and 42. For the year, she tallied 19 total 9-hole scores (not counting the shortened TRC Meet). All were below 50. Her best 9-hole score of the year was 40, so she was at the top of her game at the state tournament. She got rewarded, earning All-State honors. Scheevel posted identical 9-hole 44 totals Day Two to finish tied for 15th place (175). All four of her state scores (42, 45, 44, 44) were better than her top regular season score (46). She matched a pair of section scores (42, 44). Katie Tammel, the Falcon’s only senior, went 41 and 50 Day One, then 44 and 43 Day Two to finish tied for 21st place (178). Her 41 was a season 9-hole low. She won a ‘Senior Award’ for having a 3.7 cumulative GPA and at least one state appearance. Junior Laura Donney, FC’s stand-out at the 2014 tourney, was the fourth scoring golfer. She (43, 46, 44, 49; 182) finished in 27th place. The 43 and 44 were her top two 9-hole low scores of the year. Cailey Rindels (223) and Libby Onsager (245) also competed. As a team, FC was Section 1A and State Class A All-Academic. For a second straight year, FC’s line-up featured just one senior. The 2014 crew only graduated Keeley Todd. The 2015 group will only graduate Tammel.

magnificently saluted an excellent performance with a rendition of the Falcon fight song. Falcon Boys Struggle FC’s boys, in their first ever state golf meet, couldn’t match the girls’ success. It was a tough couple days for Brad Holten’s Falcons. FC ended Day One in eighth place (348) and continued on that pace through Day Two (698). All six Falcon golfers shot worse than when they won the Section 1A Meet. As a team, they were 49 strokes off the Section Meet pace (649). FC’s top golfer was senior Jordan Miller (164), who finished tied for 32nd place. He finished tied for 17th at state as a junior, albeit with an identical 164 score. It was a tough finish to a great career for the two-time state qualifier. Miller posted a 36-hole 144 to win the Section 1A Meet a week earlier. Matson Kiehne (58thtie, 176), Alex Lange (62nd-tie, 179), and Carter Nevalainen (64tie, 180) rounded out FC’s scoring golfers. Connor Morem (185) and Delton Sauer (190) also competed. Mounds Park Academy (622) took first with Mahnomen/Waubon (634) taking second of the eightteam tourney. United South Central’s Ryan Pederson and MPA’s Brock Bliese tied for the top score (146). Eighty-eight total golfers competed. The good news for FC going forward is; Miller is the only senior. The other guys will have chances to build on FC boys golf first ever state appearance. The Non-Falcon Three Three other county athletes also competed at the state golf meets. Houston’s Kelly Jerviss made her first state golf appearance. The junior played some of her best golf of the year. After a Day One 96 (tied for 44th), Jerviss scored a 40 to start Day Two, her lowest 9-hole round of the year, on the way to an 88, her lowest 18-hole round of the year. Her total of 184 moved her significantly up the leaderboard. She finished tied for 27th place in an 88-person field. The 184 was 19 strokes lower than her state clinching (203) Section 1A performance. R-P’s Charlie Krambeer competed in his second state golf meet. It was his fifth state tournament appearance total (three basketball). Krambeer went 41 and 43 Day One, then 44 and 38 Day Two, for a total of 166. The senior pretty much stayed consistent with how he golfed all year, where his low 9-hole total was 37, his high 45. He finished tied for 36th place. Like FC’s Miller, Krambeer was right around his 2014 pace (168, tied for 26th place), but he also finished further down the leaderboard in 2015. Finally, Lanesboro’s Madeline Snyder made her first state golf appearance. A low 50’s golfer on the year, the junior went 50, 56, 53, and 52 for a total of 211. She was a few strokes back of Section Meet pace (205). She finished in 73rd place (of 88). Baseball All-Conference TRC East: Kiel Larson (Sr, IF, FC/L), Zack Ansell (Sr, C, R-P).

AgStar awards scholarship to local seniors $40,000 awarded to 41 seniors The AgStar Fund for Rural America, a corporate giving program of AgStar Financial Services, is pleased to announce that it awarded Travis Troendle, a senior at Lanesboro High School, Kyle Lawstuen, a senior at Lanesboro High School, and Kayla Mulhern, a senior at Kindsland High School, a $1,000 educational scholarship. The AgStar Fund awards $40,000 in scholarships to 40 graduating seniors every year. Students within AgStar’s 69 county service area in

Minn. and northwest Wisc. are eligible. Four students from each of AgStar’s five regions are chosen to receive a scholarship. High school seniors were eligible if they plan to receive higher education to pursue careers in agriculture related fields or have come from a rural background and plan to obtain a degree in a non-agriculture related field. Students were judged based on their academic record, vocational promise, community service and leadership qualities.

Students can register now for Red Cross summer scholarship program ST. PAUL, MN — This summer, high school and college students can win a scholarship by hosting an American Red Cross blood drive through the Leaders Save Lives program. Registration is now open to host a participating blood drive between June 1 and Aug. 31, 2015. The Leaders Save Lives program encourages communityminded 16- to 24-year-olds to host blood drives to help maintain the blood supply over the summer months. Students who participate as a blood drive coordinator are eligible to win a scholarship up to $2,500 for higher education and to earn a gift card. “The Leaders Save Lives program is a great way for students to learn valuable leadership skills while helping hospital patients in need of lifesaving blood transfusions,” said Red Cross North Central Blood Services CEO, Geoff Kaufman. “Summer can be a challenging time to maintain a sufficient blood supply. With this program, students are helping the community by recruiting their friends and family to donate during this crucial season.”

A total of 10 scholarships will be awarded via drawing to students who achieve 100 percent of their blood drive collections goal. All students who achieve the designated blood drive goal will receive an electronic gift card to giftcertificates.com For more information and to register to host a Leaders Save Lives blood drive, visit redcrossblood.org/leaderssavelives. How to donate blood Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1 (800) RED CROSS [1 (800) 733-2767] to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

A Root River Trail Towns organization was first organized in the early 1990’s as a means for the towns on the MN DNR Root River Trail to collaboratively promote use of the Root River Trail and the local communities. Early activities included the annual Sykkle Tur on the anniversary of the trail’s grand opening, a non-biker ride in wagons pulled by tractors especially for seniors, B&B house tours, and more. About five years ago the nine towns on the Root River again organized to launch “Taste of the Trail” activities in each town. This event has grown each year and has been promoting the Root River Trail Towns’ many and varied assets on three Saturdays in September. The 501c3 status makes Root River Trail Towns eligible for grants and tax-deductible gifts to continue promotion of this area to benefit all of its businesses, residents and visitors. Taste of the Trail continues to be the RRTT’s capstone event and highlights a local non-profit to seek donations. Childhood Cancer is the focus of Taste of the Trail in 2015. RRTT’s promotion now includes a comprehensive website, www.rootrivertrail.org, that promotes events, businesses, and the exceptional quality of life assets in Southeastern Minnesota. The DNR Root River Trail has a reputation of being a pre-

mier trail within the MN DNR Trails system. Plan to join the Root River Trail Towns in 2015 for the 1st

Miss Harmony Scholarship pageant 2015 marks the 16th year of the Miss Harmony Scholarship pageant. Pageant coordinators, Amanda Heibel, Emily Kiehne and Allison Whalen, are very excited about the activities that lay ahead for the eight contestants. This year’s contestants are Lexie Dols, Laura Donney, Shelby Ebner, Megan Hendrickson, Erin McKay, Taylor PierceSprenger, Gabrielle Shupe, and Caitlyn Walsh. Three girls will be chosen to represent the Harmony area by judges from outside the community; Miss Harmony, 1st Attendant, and 2nd Attendant. The contestants will vote on a Miss Congeniality - this is the girl that contestants feel is the most welcoming, friendly, and has the best disposition. The week’s activities will take place June 19-27. Some of the

events the girls will participate in are a sponsor’s reception to recognize the sponsor’s and community members that help make the pageant possible, a pizza and pool party, a tour of Niagara Cave, pedicures, and a day full of informal and formal judging. Coronation will be held on Saturday, June 27 at 7 p.m. at The Hall. There will be an evening gown portion as well as an on-stage question. The girls have prepared a commercial about their sponsor, the 4th of July festivities, the city of Harmony, or a combination of these. The commercials will have been judged earlier in the day, but will be presented to the community that evening. The girls will also be putting in many hours volunteering around town during the week. Some of the locations include Harmony

Healthcare, the Visitor’s Center, Meals on Wheels, First Southeast Bank, Heritage Grove, and Harmony Foods. Once again this year, there will be a “Community Choice” award; this award goes to the girl the community has seen doing an outstanding job volunteering and representing the Harmony community. There will be a container for each girl set up in the lobby of the First Southeast Bank and the Harmony Public Library where the public can drop money into the container of their choice. The containers will be available starting Friday, June 19 through Friday afternoon, June 26. They will also be available through intermission at coronation before being collected and counted. The girl receiving the most money in her container will receive the “Community Choice” award. All

An Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County funds will be donated back to the pageant for expenses and scholarships. After the court is decided, the girls will represent Harmony in parades and with volunteer hours around Harmony. They will also be helping out at the conservation club pancake breakfast at the fire hall on the 4th of July, 7 a.m.9:30 a.m., judging the kiddie parade, serving at the Customer Appreciation Dinner/National Night Out in August, Breakfast with Santa, and the egg hunt. There will once again be a younger girl chosen as “Little Miss Harmony”. There are eight girls, entering either 2nd or 3rd grade, that are vying for these positions. These girls were also asked to find a sponsor, either a family or a Harmony business of their choosing. The girls will join the older candidates for the sponsor’s reception, polishing their nails, and judging. They are also invited to join in on some of

the volunteer activities. On Saturday, June 27, the 2015 Miss Harmony court will be crowned and begin their reign. The public is invited to The Hall at 7 p.m. for coronation. There will be a table set up with the “Community Choice” containers, a table with carnations available to purchase for your favorite contestant, as well as beverages and treats available for a free will donation. Be watching for the girls around town and be sure to stop and visit with them. Each of the girls are looking forward to getting to know the community members and are very excited about the week’s activities. Join the committee on Saturday, June 27 for this special kickoff to the 4th of July activities in Harmony and meet the new community ambassadors - Miss Harmony, 1st Attendant, 2nd Attendant, Miss Congeniality, and our Little Miss Harmony.

MAIN STREET LAW OFFICES is attempting to collect a debt on our client’s behalf and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. If you have previously received a discharge in a chapter 7 bankruptcy case, this communication should not be contrued as an attempt to hold you personally liable for the debt.

Most importantly, a new statute was added (§580.033) that specifies where a notice of foreclosure should be published, something that was ambiguous under prior law. This statute also requires that affidavits of publication issued by a newspaper must contain certain language related to the published foreclosure notice. The affidavit of publication form includes (in paragraph 5) the language called for by the new statute. The form also complies with the general requirements for affidavits of publication found in Minnesota Statute, §331.07. The form is drafted so that it can be used for any published notice, not just mortgage foreclosure notices; in other words, you don’t need to use a different form for other kinds of notices. Beginning July 1, affidavits for mortgage foreclosure by advertisement must contain the new language on this form. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact MNA if you have any questions.
