Peterson gears up for Gammel Dag By K irsten Zoellner kzoellner@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Who hasn’t heard someone complain about missing the good old days? Luckily, Peterson has a solution to the nostalgia with its 31st annual Gammel Dag (Norwegian for “Good Old Days”). Scheduled for Friday, June 15 through Sunday, June 17, the celebration is packed with something for everyone and then some. New this year is a multi-faceted bicycle tour and a bike clinic. The event is in three-way partnership with HaveFunBiking, The Fit Tourist, and Wahoo! Adventures, all Twin Cities-based organizations that encourage exploration in the out of doors, especially by bicycle. The clinic begins Friday, at 1pm, and continues again Saturday morning, at 9am, prior to the tour. “For those interested in getting back in the saddle, the ‘Have Fun Biking...Again’ clinics are designed to reintroduce and help you find joy in bicycling,” says Stephanie, The Fit Tourist. “Do you remember how fun it was to
ride a bike as a kid and that sense of freedom you had? Do you see people biking on the trails and wish that could be you? If you are not already riding confidently, we will help you get back on your bike!” The clinic will provide minor bike maintenance and adjustments for proper fit, including seat, handlebar, and brake adjustment. Safe bicycling rules and hints will also be discussed. The cost of either clinic is $15 and will include a short bike ride. Clinic participants will meet at the historic Peterson Station Museum, located right on Mill Street. To pre-register for a clinic, go to: www.signmeup.com/84029. Registrations will also be accepted prior to the clinic start. Following the clinics, The Fit Tourist and Wahoo! Adventures will take participants on one of three guided bike tours. The distance options include 15, 35, or 65-mile routes. Refreshment stops and sag support (for those whose biking nostalgia catches up with them) will be provided
along each route. Upon returning, participants will enjoy a dinner and mouth-watering pie served at Judy’s Country Kitchen, just off the Root River State Bike Trail. As an added bonus, riders choosing either the 15 or 35-mile routes will have the opportunity to ride their bike in the Gammel Dag Grand Parade before peddling out of town. The Fit Tourist, now in their 2nd season offering group and private walking/biking tours, and Wahoo! Adventures, who specialize in customized tours, coordinating all details of the adventure from beginning to end, will lead the various guided tours. The cost for the tours, including dinner, is $30 per participant. Registrations placed after June 6 will be $35 each. Tour participants will gather prior to the tour start at 205 North Church Street. Those wanting to partake can pre-register at: www.signmeup.com/84031. See GAMMEL DAG Page 3

C ommentary In praise of fathers By Yvonne Nyenhuis There are two things I’m addicted to, ice-cream and Book TV on C-Span. Recently I watched Bay Buchanan introduce a book she has written of her experience as a single mother raising three sons. As her story unfolded, I realized how lucky I am to Yvonne have a husNyenhuis band who is also a great father to our three boys. Gordon arrived first. He was a mini miracle, the size of a football. Within the hour home from the hospital, Glenn sat holding him wrapped in a soft yellow receiving blanket. He looked down at the pixie face and wise eyes peer-
ing up at him and proceeded to tell Gordon of his expectations for his future. Gordon’s entrance into the world was followed by Eric and Troy; three boys within four years. We thought that if we kept them busy growing up we could keep them out of trouble. We enrolled them in sports programs in Bryant Square from the time they were six. Because they were close in age they were often on the same teams: football, ice hockey and wrestling. We spent days in hot, sweaty gyms and endured freezing temperatures watching hockey tournaments. (I stood on a telephone book to insulate my feet in the ice and snow.) Glenn would frown when he saw how much I was spending on their sports equipment. I soon learned to include him on
Letter about Vikings stadium To the Editor, Since the Legislature approved a billion dollar stadium for the Minnesota Vikings a couple weeks ago, voters have asked me what I thought of the deal. Not much. I understand that many Minnesotans are football fans and that there is a case to be made for a better stadium than the Metro Dome, though it seems that the Dome could have been made to work with some remodeling. A majority of the Democrats in the House and the Senate voted for the stadium deal, and of course it was Gov. Dayton’s number one priority. I would have broken with my fellow Democrats on this. I would have voted against the deal for two reasons. Paying for the stadium bonds by expanding electronic
gambling is very risky. Many people who know something about this are wary that the extra gambling revenue may not be large enough to cover the annual cost of the bonds. Regular taxes will have to be used to make up the difference. Second, this is just more corporate welfare. The Vikings make a lot of money. They could have paid for the stadium themselves. They refused to open their corporate books for a reason, because they didn’t want Minnesotans to see how much money they were making. Greg Davids, my opponent in the Nov. election, voted for the stadium despite all his empty rhetoric about less government spending. Greg likes corporate welfare. He raised the property taxes of middle class homeowners and farmers instead of raising taxes on the rich who own

our shopping sprees. When he went along he would buy what was best without regard for the cost. Injuries were frequent. Gordon slammed into the boards at the skating rink. The sharp point of a skate gauged out a hole in his knee. As the blood spilled out on the ice I called Glenn, who left work and was there in minutes. He applied a tourniquet to stop the bleeding, swept Gordon up in his arms and whisked him off to the hospital. Troy, when he was in high school, was wrestling at South High. He was pinned, shoulders to the mat, his body suspended in the air. Something had gone horribly wrong. He lay there, unable to move. In a flash, Glenn was beside him, looking down into a pair of frightened eyes. He was able to calm and reassure Troy and stayed with him in the ambulance as they wended their way though a blinding snowthe corporations. Earlier, Greg introduced legislation to completely eliminate the corporate income tax even as he and the GOP cut programs for people with disabilities. And now he voted for the stadium, a clear piece of corporate welfare, while as chair of the House Tax Committee, he raised property taxes state-wide by a half a billion dollars. Greg Davids doesn’t represent the residents of Houston and Fillmore counties. He represents wealthy people in the Twin Cities. When you are a twenty-year incumbent, like Greg, you become out-of -touch with the people that elected you. Ken Tschumper 1640 Tschumper Rd La Crescent, MN 55947 ktschump@acegroup.cc (507) 894-4248
storm to the hospital. Troy’s neck was broken. Glenn didn’t leave his side until he was asleep for the night. My husband loved nature and Lanesboro. We spent many weekends in a shack on top of a bluff three miles from town.We would park in the valley near the road and carry food, water and gear up the steep incline on the east side of the mountain.Our Springer, Greco, had his own small, bright blue backpack and carried his own food and water bowls. We all did our part. The boys conducted a search for firewood and Glenn soon had flames dancing and leaping from the black dirt bottom of the pit. We settled ourselves on lawn chairs around the fire. Glenn speared two plump chickens on a stick about twenty-six inches in length. He had stripped a couple of branches of their bark, and made them Y-shaped.These were driven into
the ground on either side of the fire to support the rod with the chickens. Meanwhile the sun, which flooded the western sky with clouds infused with all the colors of the rainbow, said a final goodbye and disappeared from view. Outside the circle of light from the fire, the night grew black around us. Above, through the dark branches a myriad of stars looked down on us with a clarity and brilliance that was breathtaking. Glenn taught the boys to hunt and fish. He shared with them his love of cooking. I realized when I thought about it, he didn’t preach to the boys, he led by example. As long as children are nurtured and valued, they will grow to be successful and happy in their lives, even without a Father in residence. But today, we celebrate Fathers. With their strength, courage and wisdom they lay a foundation for the lives of their children.

Chatfield gives preliminary approval for Commercial Waste Hauling License By Karen Reisner The Chatfield City Council considered a request from Veolia Environmental Services for a license to haul commercial and industrial refuse at the council’s May 29 meeting. Councilors Ken Jacobson and Paul Novotny were absent. David Meyer, Rochester Veolia office, and Mark Vinall, area manager, fielded questions about the weight of the trucks and required thickness of asphalt to support the trucks in alleys. Vinall explained they still have 50 percent rear loading trucks, but are moving toward more front loading trucks which are more productive. He said they had looked at possible pickup spots and said there were some concerns with overhead wires. City Attorney Fred Suhler said he didn’t see an issue with gross weights of the trucks,
Chatfield’s new fire truck. but just whether they should be involved with rates. City Clerk Joel Young said the code does say something about rates, but he doesn’t see why the city would want to regulate rates in
Photo by Karen Reisner a situation where there is free enterprise. The type of refuse will vary business to business. Vinall said pricing would have to take into account disposal location since these loca-
tions are different in the rates they charge. The council gave preliminary approval to issue a license subject to final approval by the council of a contract between Veolia and Chatfield regarding the exercise of that license. The city of Chatfield has a contract with William Hanson for hauling the residential waste in Chatfield. Ordinance 135 The council approved an authorization for the city attorney to draft the amendment and the first consideration of the amendment to Ordinance 135 to correct some errors. The ordinance had been drafted in 1955. It’s language has Park “Street” instead of “Avenue” and “McKinney” Street instead of “McKenney” Street. The errors make it difficult to get a clean title opinion on some property.
Other Business In Brief • Young said the city wants to improve Mill Creek from CR 2 to the Root River, stabilizing the banks. They need the cooperation of neighbors on River Street and have met with most of them. • The council authorized the city clerk to sign up city council members, P & Z commissioners and staff for on-line training related to zoning and land use issues. The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust allows for a premium savings on the insurance coverage if a majority of the named groups take the one hour training. The cost totals $180 for everyone. • The swimming pool will open June 7. • Before adjourning councilors went outside to view the city’s new fire truck.
Greg Davids wraps up legislative session, looks ahead to election By Jade Sexton Greg Davids recently finished up his two-year term as the Republican Representative from District 31B in Minnesota, and is running for reelection this fall. While many politicians were working on the Vikings Stadium issue, Davids, who is the Chairperson of the Tax Committee, was working on a large tax bill designed to give tax relief to many Minnesotans. According to Davids, the tax bill was met with no objections. Davids said it was nicknamed the “Smokin’ Hot Tax Bill.”
“It was the tax bill that nobody objected to, except for the governor,” said Davids. Governor Mark Dayton vetoed the bill in May, two weeks after the end of the session, surprising many people. “There was no reason for him to veto this bill,” said Davids. “It can only be for political reasons.” Davids said Dayton had vetoed a previous tax bill, and gave reasons that he didn’t sign it. The legislature worked at fitting the bill to his specifications, but it was still turned down.

“This bill would have given property tax relief, relief to students, and first-time home buyers,” shared Davids. “This bill provided more jobs than the bonding bill and the Vikings stadium combined.” Davids said his goal was to get the unemployed off the bench and working. He said this bill would have provided tens of thousands of jobs. Davids was not pleased that so much time was spent on the Vikings Stadium bill, and The circumstances surrounding the veto were unusual to Davids. He said normally he would receive a phone call informing him of the veto, but this time he learned it from Twitter. Davids also asked Governor Dayton to meet with him several times to discuss the bill, but received no response. He has not received a response from him since the veto, either. “It’s a very unfortunate situation,” said Davids. In November of 2010, when Davids was elected, the state of Minnesota had a $6.2 billion shortfall. According to Davids, there was a $1.3 billion surplus in April of 2012. A problem with Minnesota government, as well as everywhere else, is the divide between Republicans and Democrats. Davids said he does not look at a Republican or Democrat, but what is a good idea. He believes the Smokin’ Hot Tax Bill was very balanced in that way, making both parties happy, and uniting laborers and businesses, something very rare. Davids has been a representative for 20 years, and has been chairman ten years, and he
said he has never had this kind of situation with a governor before. “He wants it to be a ‘do nothing legislature,’ when really it’s a ‘do nothing governor,’” said Davids. Davids did come up with a tax bill nicknamed “Davids Light,” that was signed by Governor Dayton. In this bill, Davids froze Local Government Aid (LGA) for 2012-2013, so local cities are certain to keep what they are getting currently. He is not happy that by vetoing the larger tax bill, Dayton denied money and tax relief to veterans, students, and nursing homes. In his time in session, Davids had no tax increases, helped give Minnesota schools more money, and made no cuts to nursing homes. Davids wrote legislation for the
Veterans Cemetery to be in Fillmore County. “I don’t think people realize what a big deal this is,” he said. “The economic impact is huge. I’m very excited about it.” The cemetery will be a resting place for veterans from Southeast Minnesota, Northeast Iowa, and Western Wisconsin. “We will have a beautiful cemetery for our veterans, and they deserve that.” Davids commended the Fillmore County Commissioners for “stepping up to the plate and making a donation of 153 acres of beautiful land.” Davids is running against Ken Tschumper in the election, and he is excited about the race. And if he wins the re-election, he is going to try again to get the tax bill passed that will help out thousands of Minnesotans.

Editor’s Note: The following speech was given by Pastor Becky Timm at the Fillmore Cemetery on Monday, May 28... Memorial Day. I was fortunate enough to be there and hear her wonderful story, and I felt it would be worth sharing with Journal readers. - Jason Sethre I want to take you back to a day when I stood much shorter then I do now---…..back to a day when I first began to learn about what freedom….what faith….what love was all about…..hand in hand my Father and I weaved our way through the cemetery….my little hand gently gripping the flowers I was carrying…..when we stopped at last my dad slowly knelt down….……I knelt beside him….he carefully took the flowers that we had brought and propped them on my grandpa’s tombstone…..we hovered there for some time in silence…. Now believe it or not…. I am not much for silence and my dad is not much for words….. Why are we here I asked….. Because it is Memorial Day he said turning to gaze at me….and it is a day we honor and remember all the people who died for our freedom… my brain began to whirl… .I had no idea why anyone would have to die for me….my life was wonderful….I could run and play all I wanted, I had a nice home, my own room with pink walls and animal posters, I had friends, food to eat, I had dogs and cats----I had an adorable little hamster named Sophie, I had everything any little girl could ever dream of…. In the distance one melancholy trumpet began a tune I did not know…..I looked around to try and locate the sound….. When I glanced back at my father there were tears in his eyes…… I patted him gently…..do you have to go and die for me and for my freedom dad….I asked him…. No….but I would he smiled grabbing my hand again……and standing up… So many of these men and women did die for us….his words trailed off into the wind….melding into the eerie call of the trumpet sound…. Why would you die for me I asked him…. Because I love you….because I believe in what this country stands for….because I believe in freedom and justice….because it was my honor and my duty to serve….. I am certain I didn’t absorb all this…..but still I wondered….how peculiar it was to me that someone would die for me…. Truthfully I am not even certain I can grasp the true gravity of such a sacrifice even today…. I can still almost hear my own voice…..as I thoughtfully countered his declaration with a measure of doubt and wonder…. I can be really awful to you dad…I said with a note of defiance-- as I stopped to stare up at him….. Really really awful….remember just last week I threw a fit in the grocery store because you wouldn’t buy me those m and m’s ….you were so mad at me…..why would you die for me….. He just smiled….. I just would I pressed him….. Sometimes I say mean things to you Yes you do he nodded….. But you would still die for me I continued….. He simply nodded an affirmative…. We don’t always agree….sometimes I tell you that your brain is all backwards…. He chuckled….. Maybe that is why I would die for you he teased… What about Steven….I asked…certain no one would die for Steven….he was my awful big brother….always being mean and wicked to his little sister….certainly my dad would not die for the likes of him…. But my dad just swung me up into his arms….becky….of course I would die for your brother….I chose to serve my country and my God for you-- for steven….for men and women everywhere….just think becky all these men and women he said stretching out his arms and showing me the vast expanse of the stones that surrounded us…. all these people served this country….….they were willing and some indeed did die for their comrades, their family, their friends…..they were willing to die for people they loved AND FOR people who they didn’t even know….they were willing to serve for something that they believed in even if people would disagree with them---even if they did not share the same opinions, willing to come under fire for people who may or may not be grateful… or who don’t always appreciate their sacrifice….these men and women died for the freedom of all-- not just the people they love…… People who I didn’t even know would die for me…. Romans 5 reminds us….that Very rarely would anyone die for a righteous person….and yet sometimes some may dare to die for a good person…. I had already established that I was not even good….. Why would anyone die for me….why would my father die for me…. You know truthful speaking from the very depths of my heart…there are not words profound enough to capture the love and gratitude that I have for each and every member of the armed forces….thank you is simply not adequate…..it is an awesome privilege to even stand before all of you….because as I think back to that day….as my own young heart tried to grasp at the wisdom and words of my father….telling me that so many were willing to die for me….and as I find myself standing before you here today….gazing out into your faces….searching my soul as I attempt to digest all the graves of the fallen…I am very honestly struck with awe and wonder….. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person…..very rarely and yet sometimes someone may dare to die for a good person….. And here I stand before a whole assembly of people who are indeed the very rare few….. My life is amazing-- it is filled with wonder and grace, with blessings and freedom…..Even that I can stand freely and preach and teach is a freedom for which people sacrificed and died…..I have what I have and live such as I do because of all of you and because of all those who have served and sacrificed before us….……and with that thought on my heart I am humbled….. The overwhelming truth of it trips up my heart….. I know that God created us in his image….that is what genesis says…. Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; And when I think about it….I must agree that he made each of your hearts a little like his in this way too….so much so that you---the men and women of the armed forces were willing to love and live, sacrifice and give all you are in order to save and serve….God made your heart a heart of honor, of faith and courage, of love and sacrifice--- In fact your heart was made in the image of another man whom I love and adore….indeed your heart in this way reminds me of another man who brings tears to my eyes and buckles me at my knees….you were created in his image…. You were created in the image of Jesus Christ….. Let me take you back to a scene that happened over two thousand years ago…. Because even now as I think on your love and sacrifice I cannot help but draw up the image of a man who hung on a cross for the love of a people who nailed him there….. Indeed it is one thing to dare to die for the righteous or perhaps a good person….but Christ proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Jesus Christ died to save us…… His faith, his love, his courage…..is amazing….. His hands outstretched on my cross-- on our cross……for my sin and your sin….for my freedom and for yours….for all our lives….. Created in his likeness….. Why would my FATHER die for me….. Even when we run away from his love When we speak and act badly When we sin When we deny him Christ would die for me…for you…for all his children…EVEN when we cried out for his crucifixion and held the hammer and nails in our own hands….. INDEED Jesus Christ chose to die for us and for our salvation….for our freedom…..why----well because his love carried him that far….. And your love carried you…. SO here I stand to say thank you…. Thank you to all the men and women who died for my freedom….and thank you to a God whose heart we are made in the very image of….. Amen. Pastor Becky Timm Immanuel Lutheran Church Wykoff, MN

Fillmore County Sports SB play-offs: Chatfield in section final By Paul Trende Three Not The Charm The first two county squads to take the field for play-off softball action learned something; the third time is not the charm. Mabel-Canton (#8, 3-13) hosted Hope Lutheran (#9, 3-11). In the first inning, Patriot Tiahia Aune hit a 2-run inside-the-park HR. The Coug’s response: 11 unanswered runs. Sophomore catcher Lydia Geving accounted for over half her team’s RBI’s. She ended with a nifty 3-4, 5 RBI, 2 R, SB day. Bailey Hanson (2-4, R, SB) drove in three runs. One-two hitters Abby Hanson (3-4, RBI, SB) and Hannah Nolte (0-1, 3 BB’s) each scored three times as M-C downed HL for the third time this year 13-3 in five. Kristina Mengis (7 IP, 3 R, 4 H, 1 BB) pitched well in victory. In Spring Valley, four-seed GMLOK (8-11) hosted 5-seed PEM (6-14) in 1AA East action, despite Mother Nature (similar 1A contests were postponed). It was back and forth: 1-0 PEM, 1-1 tie, 3-1 PEM, 3-3 tie, 5-3 GMLOK, 7-5 PEM courtesy of a Catherine DeVetter Grand Slam HR, 7-7 tie. In the bottom of the 6th, Haley Colton led off with a 2B. A wild pitch and an Emily Schlitter RBI-groundout later gave GMLOK an 8-7 lead, which held. For the third time on the season GMLOK’s Bulldogs beat PEM’s Bulldogs. Schlitter got the win (final 3 1/3 innings, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB’s). Colton (2-4, 2B, SB, 2 R), Steph Russell (2-4, SB, R), and Hannah Corson (2-3, 3 RBI) supplied the offense. Wet Week… With every 1A East Thursday game postponed due to rain, the games were played Friday. Eightseed M-C (4-13) bowed to 1-seed L-A (18-2) 11-0 in 5 innings. The
Cougars end 2012 with a 4-14 record. In Wabasha, things were much closer between the 4th seeded Falcons (11-9) and 5th seeded R-P (10-10). W-K squeaked out a 3-2 victory, ending the Trojans season at 10-11. In Chatfield, the 2nd seeded Gophers (15-5) and 7th seeded FC/L Falcons (7-12) continued with the ‘third not a charm’ theme. Chatfield scored the first seven runs. A 2-run triple by Jordan O’Connor and a subsequent 2-run HR by Alex Peterson crept the Falcons closer (7-4). The Goph’s cemented it in the 6th though, scoring six runs. Katie Jech’s third hit (3-4), second RBI, started it. MaKenzie Miller’s 2-run single capped her great day (3-4, 2B, 3B, 5 RBI, 3 R). Sarah Costello (2-4, 2B, HR, 3 RBI) then hit her 5th HR of the year, a two-run shot, capping the inning. The Gophers took out FC/L for the third time this season, 13-7. FC/L ends the season at 7-14. …Soggy Saturday GMLOK (9-11) moved on to face 1-seed Spring Grove-Caledonia (17-2) in one 1AA East semi in St. Charles. They fell 3-0, ending their season at 9-12. Chatfield (16-5) moved on to face 3-seed Houston (12-9) in one 1A East semi in Lewiston. The contest began around 11:00 AM, but then rain. Around 3:00, the game resumed, Houston leading 6-5 thru 5 ½. In the bottom of the 7th, with the ‘Cane’s still clinging, Erin Bradt led-off with a double off the left-center fence. Sidney Irish then doubled off the right fielder’s glove, scoring pinch runner Janessa Erding (6-6). Kirsten Keefe then grounded to pitcher Abbey Loken. Irish forced the issue, heading from 2nd to 3rd. Loken forced the
issue trying to throw her out. The ball and Irish went opposite ways; the first down the left field line, the later to home with the winning run. In four-hours-plus, Chatfield downed Houston 7-6. Seventh inning heroines Irish (3-4, 2B, 3B, 3 RBI, 3 R) and Bradt (2-2) led the way, accounting for five of eight Goph’ hits. Loken (2-4, 2B, RBI/7 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 6 K) and Kalene Hill (3-4, 2B, 3B, 2 RBI, 2 R) had five of seven ‘Cane hits. Katie Jech (132) got the win. The Gophers (17-5) moved on to the 1A East title game with 20-2 L-A (who downed W-K 8-0 in their semi). The third time, again, was not the charm. Lewiston notched a 7-1 victory. They got big jacks from Natalie Kalmes (3-4, 3B, HR, RBI, 2 R, SB) and Brooke Schilling (1-2, HR, 2 RBI). Five of their nine hits were of the extra base variety. Chatfield had just four hits, as Schilling, for a third time, defeated the Gophers (7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 7 K, 2 BB, Win). Both teams advanced to the Sectional ‘Final Four.’ Helpful Errors, Big Blasts, and Katie Jech Chatfield got West S-S runner-up Kenyon-Wanamingo (12-11) in the loser-out game. The Gophers pressed their luck with the loser and out part. They trailed 3-2 heading to the bottom of the 7th. But Kirsten Keefe reached via error, and Katie Jech followed with a single. When the ball went thru the left fielder’s legs, pinch runner Janessa Erding came around to score the tying run. An inning later, Sarah Costello walked. Candace Gould followed with a swinging bunt hit. Erin Bradt then drilled her second big pinch hit of the postseason, a hard grounder up the middle that plated Costello for the 4-3 walk-off victory. Tori Woltz (1-2) drove in the other two Gopher runs with a double in the 4th. By virtue of an L-A loss to #7 in A Blooming Prairie (2-1 in 8 innings), it was #5 Card’s vs. #10 Goph’s Part IV. With Lewiston entering immediately off a defeat, and Chatfield immediately off a win, and with the first holding a 3-0 record versus the second, the deck wasn’t necessarily in the Card’s favor. Then Sarah Costello played an ace. She smacked her 6th HR of the year, a 3-run blast (3-0 Chatfield) in the 2nd inning. Then Tori Woltz played an ace, a solo HR (7) in the 4th. With a 5-0 lead thru 3 ½, the rest of the game fell on the shoulders of standout (14-2 record) senior pitcher Katie Jech. She battled a truly offensive L-A
line-up. The only run she relinquished through six was a solo HR to Natalie Kalmes in the 5th. In the 7th, Jech had to fight one last time; retire the top of L-A’s order, preserve her team’s 5-1 lead. The first two batters reached (1B, BB), but then a soft line-out, then a huger-than-huge strikeout of 10+ HR clean-up hitter Danielle Harstad. Taylor Daley fought her way (10 pitches) to an RBI single, making it 5-2. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, two out, Jech won the final encounter, the war. On a full count, she got Miranda Weilandt to softly line a ball into foul territory wide of third. Eighth grader Megan LaPlante made a great diving catch to send the Gophers (19-6) into euphoria. They picked the biggest game to finally solve the Brooke Schilling/L-A puzzle. By a final of 5-2, they moved on to the Section championship game with Blooming Prairie. Jech threw 157 pitches (1 ER, 5 H, 13 K’s) in truly earning her 15th victory of the year. Baseball 05-21 •Game 1; L-A 13, GMLOK 3 (GMLOK: Trenton Bleifus 1-2, RBI, R, SB.

June is Dairy Month Dairy is big business in Fillmore County By Jade Sexton Fillmore County has many dairy farms; 86 of them as of 2010, the vast majority of them run by families. These farms provide much more than milk and other dairy products. They do a lot for the local economy by supplying jobs as well. The milk they produce travels many miles and goes through many processes before ending up in the grocery stores.
Foremost Farms in Preston receives milk from many different haulers. Plant manager John Ebner said that things have changed a lot in the last few years as far as the process. “Milk is now going directly to the processing plants,” said Ebner. Because of this, many trucks are now making longer trips to haul the milk where it needs to See FOREMOST Page 14

The Do’s and Don’ts of Dairy By Kirsten Zoellner “Drink milk. No, wait! Don’t drink milk. Oh, wait; our bad. Drink milk after all.” Similar to the butter versus margarine debate of the 90s, this is the rhetoric that bounces around, confusing the lot of us and making healthful nutrition decisions frustrating. Well, rest assured. Dairy is one of nature’s best and has been shown to be a beneficial part of the diet, as stated by typically conflicting sources.
It’s no secret that milk and other dairy products offer numerous essential nutrients including amino acids, calcium, magnesium, riboflavin, potassium, phosphorous, vitamins 1, B12, and D, as well as pantothenic acid, a known aid to the conditions of asthma, allegies, stress, anxiety, and respiratory and heart issues. These nutrients have been widely touted to fight calcium deficiency, high blood pressure, type 2 Diabetes, and

certain types of cancer. According to the National Dairy Council, “Nutrient-rich dairy foods not only help build healthy diets, they also contribute to healthier lives.” For years this has been the basis of claims for dairy-related organizations such as the American Dairy Association, the Midwest Dairy Association, and the dairy council. But is it true? Many in the anti-dairy set dispute the validity of nutrition studies done by the USDA and other sources as corrupted by various dairy industries. Arguments over organic and or grass-fed versus conventionally-raised, pasteurized versus nonpasteurized, low-fat versus whole fat, and more have seeded these disputes further. However, no one is arguing that dairy products can “do a body good” if consumed as part of a well-balanced diet. Take for instance the current hot topic of choice, the obesity issue. For years, many were under the impression that the consumption of dairy would not only make them fat, but clog their arteries, leading to heart attack or stroke, as well as complicating a whole host of other body issues. Now, a new study by a Swedish research team has us reeling from the results. In the study, those who consumed at least one serving of whole milk or cheese gained less weight than those who consumed low-fat or no dairy. Published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the findings are of no surprise to the Dairy Research Institute. “This research supports previous studies showing that higher protein diets during weight loss may help preserve muscle while losing fat. Additionally, this study demonstrates that this higher protein diet can be achieved through an increase in dairy foods.” Of course, none of this will come as a surprise to farmers who’ve long seen pigs feed skimmed milk fatten faster than pigs fed whole milk, as noted by Dr. Joseph Mercola, a popular voice in the alternative medicine world and backer of the raw milk ‘movement.’ “A 2005 study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, found that this seeming paradox holds true for humans as well. After following almost 13,000 children for three years, they found that weight gain was associated with drinking reduced-fat and skim milk. However, they also concluded that it wasn’t dairy fat itself that caused the weight gain, but rather the excess calories.” The same rings true with the Weston A. Price Foundation, a proponent and advocate of nutrient-dense diets, particularly hormone and antibiotic-free whole, raw milk. “But Real Milk - full-fat, unprocessed milk from pasturefed cows - contains vital nutrients like fat-soluble vitamins A and D,

calcium, vitamin B6, B12, and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid, a fatty acid naturally occurring in grass-fed beef and milk that reduces body fat and protects against cancer). Real milk is a source of complete protein and is loaded with enzymes.” These sentiments echo the findings of the recent DASH approach promoted by groups such as the U.S.-based National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the USDA, and Mayo Clinic. DASH, meaning Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, has demonstrated dramatic effects in lowering blood pressure through a diet rich in dairy products, fruits, and vegetables. “Over the past decade, the importance of consuming a healthful diet
Page 13
has emerged as an effective strategy together with recommended lifestyle practices to help manage blood pressure and improve heart health. The landmark study, called the DASH Trial, provides compelling support for a blood pressure-lowering effect of dairy foods,” notes the National Dairy Council. Of course, all those countless farmers, who tell us that their day they drank milk straight out of the bulk tank and lived a good, long life serve as just as good a testament to the benefits of milk as those big organizations. In the end, we’re the best advocate for our own health and at least in the eyes of the 109 dairy farms in Fillmore County, that health includes cool, delicious milk.

go. Milk from the area goes to places like Kwik Trip, Kemps, Zumbrota, and even to plants in Wisconsin. Foremost Farms in Preston has patrons in many states across the country. Ebner has worked in the plant for 33 years, and has been Plant Manager for five years. The plant itself has gone

through many changes over the years. “We are organic certified,” explained Ebner. “We have organic customers ship us their skim milk and we send it out east for yogurt production.” Foremost also condenses organic skim milk and dries it into a powdered form, and they do the same with buttermilk and why protein. These dried forms are sold to wholesale

retailers, and are used in many different food products. Ebner also explained that when they send whole milk from the farm to the processing plants, it is separated. The cream is used to make butter, and the skim milk is used in making cheese. Milk is also condensed to onequarter the amount at the plant, making it easier and cheaper to haul. Sometimes the long trips hauling milk can cause it to separate, so trucks stop in to places like Foremost to have it mixed up. This helps maintain the quality of the milk. “The milk around here gets used a lot,” commented Ebner. “We run 24/7 around here. We are very busy.”

Farmers Co-op Elevator Company announces major grain facility expansion The Farmers Cooperative Elevator Company has announced a major grain facility update at their South Fork location in the Village of Rushford. Board Chairman Steve Oian says the addition of a 514,000 bushel storage bin, 4,700 bushel/hour Zimmerman dryer and 85,000 bushel wet holding bin will take pressure off their feed and grain facility on the north side of the Root River in the City of Rushford. Construction began this spring. (See pictures at www.farmerscoopelevator.coop.)
Oian goes on, “In the past, the lines of farmer customers waiting to deliver grain to the elevator caused traffic congestion through Rushford on Highway 43. Adding drying and storage capability to South Fork will divert much of that traffic. Farmers will be able to weigh and dump their grain without leaving the scale, and the time to empty a semi-load of corn will drop from 15 minutes to less than four.” “I remember the board discussing adding grain storage at board meetings many years

ago,” says Director Greg Smith. “In retrospect, we should have added storage then. This facility expansion is long overdue. In fact, we discussed about ten years ago adding a scale and dryer, but updated our dryer at the Rushford Feed mill instead. I’m glad we’re moving forward in serving our farmer members.” Grain Division Manager Greg Boldt says it’s been a challenge to keep up with growth in the co-op’s grain volume the last few years. “We’re adding more options to members for grain price risk protection and are now offering Delayed Price Contracts, but an important part of continuing to grow in our grain business is increasing capacity in drying, handling and storage. This project will help all of these areas and speed things up tremendously for our customers hauling grain to us in the fall.” General Manager Todd Rosvold says the goal is to have the project fully completed by the start of harvest this fall. Lodermeier’s of Goodhue, a company with many years experience in building large grain facilities, is the general contractor for the project.

linear sidewalk (original design), painting of the window panels, hand rails on the front steps, and a sign noting upcoming events. Inside the progress is even more striking with the newly painted floor and walls in the auditorium and other rooms in the 1916 building, installation of air conditioning, the new women’s restroom, a kitchen area near completion, a Green Room for performers, and installation of the subfloor on the second floor of the 1916 building. The subfloor was installed by Fillmore County Sentence to Serve. The 1916 gymnasium has been excavated and plans are in progress to make it into a theatre or a folk concert hall with a small stage. There are numerous other improvements. Many Chatfield and regional businesses have benefited from the renovation work at the center. Over 10,000 people have been to Potter Auditorium and more than 3,300 have been to the American Legion Room in 2011. Funding Chatfield has lobbied for bonding money without suc-

Minnesota Initiative Fund (Valspar Paint Corp), and Arlin C. Falck Foundation. Over $3.2 million has been raised over the last couple of years through grants, gifts, and in kind donations. This figure includes the old elementary school estimated property value. Improvements continue to be made while the auditorium and the renovated American Legion Room are in use for numerous events put on by professional entertainers, Chatfield Public Schools Drama, community groups, Wit’s End Theatre and so on. The American Legion Room has served as a gathering place for many area groups, for private parties and receptions, and for politicians. The room can accommodate groups of 70 to 100. The auditorium can seat about 900. State Senator Carla Nelson (R) commented, “Every time I come, I see something new.” Some improvements are noticeable from the outside including the removal of the 1954 building last summer, restoration of the curvi-

cess. However, the 2012 bonding bill includes a new discretionary grant program to be administered by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). The funds made available through the bonding bill for the program totals $47.5 million. The grant money is to be awarded to eligible local government capital projects. Chatfield Center for the Arts will be in competition with other projects like the Rochester Mayo Civic Center, a Saints stadium in St. Paul, and numerous others. State Rep. Mike Benson maintained that the persistence of Joel Young, Michael Martin and others in the community will eventually win the day. It will take several million dollars to finish renovating Potter Auditorium and to continue the refurbishing of the 1916 building for use as a community center and event center.

Spring Valley approves four liquor licenses By Gary Peterson The Spring Valley City Council met on Wednesday and accepted the resignation of Dave Schopper’s from the Street Department. The Council thanked Schoppers for the many years he was employed by the city. As a result of his resignation the Council will be accepting applications for a Maintenance Worker position. The position is full time and the duties include the maintenance of city owned buildings, parks and streets. Duties will also include servicing the light to heavy duty city equipment. Applications for employment will be accepted until 3 p.m. Friday, June 22, 2012. It was also decided that the city will be advertising 30 days for bids on the property at 301 Griswold. The city is hoping that either a modular home or
a regular home gets built on the property. Initially the city will be placing a $15,000 special assessment to pay for the $20,000 that the city has invested on the site. Approval was given by the Council to approve liquor license renewals for Tooties, Johnny Ringos, Old Tyme Saloon and TJ Liquor. All renewals are approved pending all the required paperwork is completed. Librarian Dianne SikkinkSwenson told the Council that it has been a busy summer at the Library with art shows and School Tours.

Sand mining field trip By Karen Reisner Members of Fillmore County’s Sand Committee, area mine operators, property owners, and concerned citizens traveled to numerous mining and processing sites in Minnesota and Wisconsin on May 30. The all day tour was packed with information. Seeing mining sites in various stages from initial opening and removing the overburden, to active, to restored to another purpose helped to provide a greater understanding of the ballooning industry. The handling of the sand from excavation and transport to processing and washing was examined. The Sand Committee was formed after the county board established a one-year interim moratorium on February 28 on the issuance of any conditional use permits for new or expanded sites for the excavation of materials and minerals. The committee has met several times since then. Active Sand Pit Dave Hesch, Reglin and Hesch Construction, Trempealeau County, Wisconsin, joined us on the bus and provided credible information on the sand mining industry. He explained while at an active 55-acre sand pit near Arcadia that the county only permits 50 acres at a time. The site could have the potential to work 300 acres. His company leases property from the farmer or property owner and the company does the reclamation. Advice for Zoning Hesch provided some advice for those writing the zoning ordinances. He suggested a 50-foot setback from the property line, all transport trucks must be tarped, well inspections for wells within 2,500 feet of blasting site, white noise equipment for back up alarms, directional lighting, assurance bonding and financial responsibility, the retention of all topsoil on site, an engineer-reviewed plan for retention ponds, and the need for inspection of work and material. Hesch explained they voluntarily tarp trucks which hasn’t been a requirement, but soon will be. He noted it costs $3,000 per truck for the tarp, but it is good for community relations and also can be paid for in a year with fuel savings. Wells and foundations within 2,500 feet of a blasting area are checked to provide a baseline. Hesch said they blast about every 10 days, notifying neighbors 24 hours in advance. The back up alarm on heavy equipment can be annoying. White noise equipment only allows the alarm sound to come directly out of the rear of the machine. The equipment reduces complaints and costs about $300 per machine and is not required. The equipment is Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) approved. Hesch had the effective noise reducing equipment demonstrated. The assurance bond is essentially an insurance policy. Hesch said it is usually born half by the property owner and half by the contractor. The bond is required to make sure the site is closed up and reclaimed. There should be proof of financial responsibility with the application, so the county knows the contractor won’t go broke.
Trempealeau County requires assurance bonds to make sure the mining sites are closed up. He explained all waste or overburden and material separated by screening must remain on the site for reclamation. The company pays the land owner one dollar per ton for sand material that is taken off site. The particle size of “frac” sand is important. Sand that is from 20 to 40 particle size is use in the fracking process for oil. Sand that is 40 to 70 particle size (finer) is used in the extraction of gas. Because of the low price of natural gas, there currently is no demand for the finer sand. Hesch said the coarser sand was in the top 40 feet while the finer sand is found below 40 feet at the site we were at. He explained a particular kind of sand is found at a consistent elevation. Hesch was asked about the $1 per ton paid to the property owner. He explained that on this 55-acre site, there is or was 7 to 8 million ton. It is being removed at the rate of 3,000 ton per day. There is a DNR regulation that all water must be contained within the pit and has to be internally drained. For the water to leave the site it must go through a retention pond. The mining area is required to stay at least 10 feet above the water table. Hesch said all their employees are local residents and in a normal year they are shut down for 2 to 3 months. The company’s investment in equipment for both sites is about $4 million. His company only screens the sand; they don’t dry, crush or wash it. When a site is reclaimed, it must be put back at no more than a 3 to 1 slope. Hesch said when an area is reclaimed the clay and top soil are pushed back on and it won’t be good fertile ground for at least 10 years. It can be seeded down and pastured, but needs to be built back up with nutrients after disturbing. They look for property to mine that doesn’t have a lot of overburden. There is a certified scale on site. Trucks are topped off while on the scale to assure they are slightly below the 80,000 pound or 40 ton limit. The scale cost $75,000. They can operate Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, and not on Sunday. The sand is processed and hauled away as it is produced. It is a damp material. If there is any dust, they water it down. Hesch said they monitor for dust and it hasn’t been an issue. The city of Acadia restricts them to 140 loads per day; they actually do about 120. Hesch noted the county is proposing a 25 cent fee per ton per mile. He maintained this kind of fee would penalize one industry, adding all users should pay the same regardless of what is being hauled. Hesch said a bond is more appropriate than a fee per mile. It has the advantage of having the money up front and is guaranteed by an insurance company. When a road is evaluated by the county as to its condition, he insisted it needs to be done by an independent engineer.
Dave Hesch toward the right with his left hand out answers questions for several sand committee members and environmentally concerned citizens. Photo by Karen Reisner Hesch warned about contractors offering above the market price for sand, which is economically not feasible for production. This can lock up the property for twenty years, which is possibly done to limit competition. Winona Aggregate Winona Aggregate is a concrete and ready mix business which has been in operation since the 1930s. They now process and wash the sand in Winona. Winona is a hub of activity for the frac sand business. Sand is trucked into Winona to this facility where it is screened, scrubbed or washed. About 70 percent of the sand hauled in will be the quality used in the extraction process for oil and gas. After processing it is shipped mostly via rail, some by barge. A representative of Sierra Frac Sand LLC said much of the processed sand is shipped via rail for the south Texas oil market. The 30 or so percent of waste or fines is sold for industrial purposes or used in mine reclamation. General manager of Winona Aggregate Tony Wasinger explained they don’t use any chemicals or flocculents to wash the sand and they won’t use them; they only use water. Flocculents are more likely to be used where they need to recycle the water. The sand is about 8 percent moisture when it comes in and leaves at about 3-4 percent moisture. Twenty-five percent of the waste is recaptured in the settling pond where it is dug out and use for reclamation. The sand goes through a process where it is screened, wetted, goes through a wetting screw which sorts the clay and fines, and then goes through a scrubber like a washing machine. Four thousand ton can be processed in an eight hour shift. Winona Aggregate has more than doubled their employees in the last several years. The Winona Aggregate site is about 130 acres and the water source for the washing is a man-made lake, created by dredging. The lake is also used for recreation including swimming and fishing. It was noted that there have been no issues with the quality of the water. The lake is not
directly connected to the river. Two to three million tons go over the roads each year. It was suggested that this isn’t an issue if the roads are constructed for heavy truck use. Commissioner Chuck Amunrud remarked that our area is fortunate to have this resource (aggregates) as it would be more expensive to build roads if aggregates had to be imported. Wasinger noted that some of the information that has been put out, is not true. Frac sand production has created a lot of emotion. He insisted this sand is a good resource, good for the economy, and has been used in sand boxes for children. Frac sand is around 50 percent of Winona Aggregate’s business, as they also supply products for livestock bedding, highway construction or maintenance, landscaping rock, and so on. Fillmore County Local operations and proposed operations were on the tour route. Commissioner Duane Bakke said the Hwy 250 sand pit near Lanesboro was once a big agricultural field before 1978. Product was used from this pit for concrete at Whalan. Much of it is now a large man-made lake. At the Randy Boyum proposed site, Pilot Mound Township, operator Richard Frick said it would take about 20 years to excavate the sand on the 30 plus acre site. They expect to reclaim about 2-3 acres at a time as they go. The butte type hill will be reduced to a much lower hill with some slope. Sand from this site is expected to be transported to St. Charles after a short distance on a township road via Winona CR 6, Hwy 74 and Hwy 14. Geoff Griffin explained that a washing facility is planned on Winona County property near St. Charles on the south side of the railroad tracks. A huge 8,000-foot loop which could accommodate 105 train cars is expected. The source of water for washing may be city water or another well. Four hundred thousand gallons of water per day will be used in the processing, of which 200,000 will be lost and the rest will
be recycled. The former North Star Foods used 100,000 gallons of city water per day. Chris Reilly, Reilly Construction, described the plans for the John Rein sand pit, Holt Township, as we viewed a small portion of the 18 acres currently under permit. Reilly noted they transport about 200 ton per week to dairy farms for bedding. It is essentially clean material and not being screened. Reilly explained it is mostly St. Peter sandstone which is the finer size. They are currently exploring the North Dakota market. Reilly said they are not bonded at this time. He said the reclamation plan is up to the owners and will be at no cost to them. The sand pit has been in operation since 2010. Reilly explained the sandstone is 70 to 80 foot in depth. They don’t have to blast, just excavate with a backhoe. All the overburden and black dirt will be used to level the site for reclamation. Reilly explained they hope to be able to wash sand at this site. They would probably need to drill 3 or 4 wells. Reilly said he has been exploring ways to recycle water. Bigger settlement ponds would be necessary. When asked how much water would be used in the washing process, Reilly said about 2,000 gallons per minute, which would be recycled in part. The Solberg sand pit, Preston Township, has been in operation for 22 years. Don Solberg explained it was established when some fill was needed for a Hwy 52 project. Today most of the sand is used for dairy bedding. Solberg said he was concerned about the discussions of limiting the number of loads that can be hauled per day. When POET was putting in new bins, they were hauling 200 loads per day. He noted they have blasted twice over the years and it was just a sort of ‘poof.’ Where much of the hill has been taken back over the years, the area has been leveled. A good sized out building has been built on it, plus it is being used in part for storage of supplies by a local landscaper.
