Veterans Cemetery Dedication POET Biorefining opens employee fitness center brings about emotions

By H annah Wingert

hannah@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The forty-two team members of POET Biorefining in Preston can now get a workout in before they head home after work. A new fitness center in the plant’s office building was opened in November 2015. The center features weights, an elliptical, a treadmill, and more. It was an extensive remodel that was a significant investment for the plant.

The gym is open for 24/7 for employees and doesn’t require a sign-in or key card. Team members are encouraged to use the

fitness center during their breaks at work and any other time they find convenient. “We don’t track who’s using it and when,” said POET’s General Manager Chris Hanson. The company wants their team members to want to live healthy lives and doesn’t believe in pressuring them.

The team members at POET Biorefining in Preston commute from all over the area. “Preston has a gym, but a lot of the small towns around the area don’t.”

For Jim and Debbie Kitchens, keeping people interested in their business is vital. The couple already own and operate the popular Nordic Lanes & Lounge and The Creamery restaurant in Rushford and know good service and offerings keeps customers coming in the door and coming back. Always looking to improve, the couple began kicking around ideas for added fun at their properties several years ago.

“We looked at making a miniature golf course or batting cages; things like that,” says Jim Kitchens, noting that they also all require constant investment.

“People get bored. With miniature golf, you have to keep changing designs. It’s cost pro-

Although the staff at the new Veterans Cemetery in Preston, Minn. did not know exactly what to expect for a turnout during the dedication ceremony that occurred on Sunday, May 29, 2016, the number of people who attended exceeded expectations.

As vehicle after vehicle arrived at the entrance and drove up the hill to the cemetery, the roads were filled on both sides as far as the eye could see and all parking areas were full. Hats off to the cemetery staff and volunteers who accommodated the influx of vehicles smoothly and found parking spaces for everyone.

Although a hard count of attendees is not available, a “best guess” of well over 1,000 people in attendance seemed to be a popular guesstimate for many.

As families and individuals sat in chairs, on blankets, or stood waiting for the ceremony to begin, they were pleased to listen to 34 ID Band Brass Quintet.

Cemetery Supervisor Rob Gross welcomed everyone to the ceremony and thanked them for coming. Gross spoke about how proud Preston and all area residents should be for having such a beautiful and meaningful final resting place for those who have served with honor. He then began singing Happy Birthday to 101-year-old WWII veteran Ernie

“We felt we could get the most people, locals, and people from out of town involved. You have to do what you can to bring people in during the week.”

When the City of Rushford needed to do a massive Highway 43 Improvement Project in conjunction with the state, plans for the courts were put on the back burner. “We were seeing major use of our rear parking lot during the project,” notes Kitchens. “We wanted to get the courts done, but with Highway 43 we took a big hit.” Biding their time, the couple spent time determining their plans. “We looked at a lot of models before we started,” adds Kitchens.

ing a healthy life. The emails also include recipes and details on current incentive programs.

The wellness program isn’t just about working out and eating healthy, though. It focuses on health, nutrition, overall wellness, fitness, and faith, covering pretty much every aspect of life for a truly whole life approach. Keeping the team members healthy and happy is good for them as individuals and for the company.

Statistics show that people who are healthier take less sick days and are happier at work, which is good for overall morale.

“Having a fitness center fits with the company mission,” Hanson noted. “We create cleaner air with ethanol, and so we make people healthier just by existing.” POET’s culture statements include embracing change, living by the golden rule, and striving for excellence. Chairman and CEO Jeff Broin created the POET Foundation in 2011 which supports Mission Greenfield and Mission Greenhouse. Both of the projects work to improve life in Africa by spreading agriculture technology and creating schools for disadvantaged girls. His overall goal for the company is to improve the quality of life for current and future generations, especially children, by improving health conditions, creating sustainable agricultural and business development, and encouraging spiritual growth.

POET Biorefining has been a part of Preston since 1998, but the company has been around since 1987. The first plant was started in Scotland, South Dakota by Broin and his family. It quickly became a success, and the company has now grown to a total of 27 plants.

POET Biorefining of Preston recently received the Governor’s Safety Award for superior performance in workplace safety and health, making it the third consecutive year in a row that they won the award. The plant also won the 2016 Southeast Minnesota Workforce Development Board’s “Best Places to Work” award.

“Witnesses”

One actor, eight characters, a fresh look at Jesus A stingy innkeeper with a Bronx accent, an Italian Lazarus who likes pasta, and a joyful Simon Peter on Easter Morning… all these characters and more come to life at 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 11 at Mabel First Lutheran Church with the dramatic presentation, “Witnesses”. Written

by Curt Cloninger, this one-man, multiple character performance will feature Christian actor and speaker, Rev. Jonathan Swenson.

In this innovative and inspiring re-telling of the Gospel, Swenson portrays eight different characters as each responds to Jesus. Through these eye-witness accounts, both comedic and serious, the audience is encouraged to see Jesus from fresh perspectives; not cold and distant, but as one who was intimately involved in the “nittygritty” of life.

Swenson is a graduate of Gustavus Adolphus College (B.A. in Psychology, Theater and Music, 1988) and Luther Seminary (Master of Divinity, 1994). He has served as an ordained minister for over 15 years, and is currently the founding director of Paraphrase Theater as well as the director of programming for Mount Carmel Ministries in Alexandria. Minn.

As a part of Paraphrase Theatre, Swenson travels throughout the country sharing a unique blend of drama, teaching, music, and story-telling.

Cemetery DeDiCation may 29 Members of the Patriot Riders from all around southeast Minnesota and beyond came to honor veterans at the State Veterans Cemetery dedication in Preston on May 29, 2016.

DEDICATION

Continued from Page 1

waves of red, white, and blue moving through the site and more emphasis was on the patriotic colors when the Minnesota Military Funeral Honors Team posted the colors as well.

Master of Ceremonies, radio host Phil Costigan with KQ98 radio station in La Crosse, Wis., introduced the keynote speaker U.S. Representative Tim Walz. Walz himself enlisted in the U.S. Army National Guard at the age of 17 and retired 24 years later as Command Sergeant Major. He is the highest ranking enlisted soldier ever to serve in congress.

Walz said it was “a day that all of us who are here today will remember and talk about” adding that was was a “privilege” for him to not only to be in attendance but to be asked to speak as well.

“We are here today to dedicate this hallowed ground,” said Walz, commenting, “this community was ready to accept the responsibility...of eternal vigilance over this land” which will hold 35,000 final resting places when all nine design phases are complete.

Minnesota Commissioner of Veteran’s Affairs and also a veteran, Larry Shellito, approached the podium to give the Memorial Address, thanking everyone in attendance, saying, “Your presence means far more than you can imagine,” explaining it let the veterans and their families know that people really do care.

Next to speak was Matt Massman, Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Administration who leads over a dozen administrative service divisions including the Real Estate and Construction Services which is the team that facilitated the design and construction of the veterans cemetery in Preston.

Massman stated he was “humbled” to attend the dedication ceremony and to be a “beneficiary of the freedom that all of you have so profoundly made available to those in our great country,” speaking to the veterans who were in attendance.

“Few projects have the depth of meaning to our work” as the Veterans Cemetery in Preston, said Massman. “Thank you very much for your service; it’s an honor to have been part of this project,” stated Massman.

A Blue Star Memorial Dedication was led by Carol Oeltjenbruns representing the National Garden Clubs, Inc. and the Federated Garden Clubs of Minnesota.

Oeltjenbruns, the Blue Star Marker Chairman, gave a very emotional speech, saying, “We are here to pay tribute to our Armed Forces. While we go about our daily lives or while we sleep, the men and women in our Armed Forces fly over our skies, sail our seas and guard our shores ensuring our safety. They stand ready at a moment’s notice to defend our country. We must not forget them; and we do not.”

“We remember with every step of the honor guard on the tomb of the unknown soldier, we remember with every drum beat on the fourth of July, we pledge allegiance to our flag and we remember. At the sound of reveille we remember.

And as the last lingering note of TAPS resounds

in the distance, we remember,” Oeltjenbruns said with a quiver in her voice.

Oeltjenbruns then said, “And remembering today, we dedicate the Blue Star Marker to the honor and glory of all those men and women who have served, are serving, and will serve in the armed forces of this great nation,” as a cadet placed a wreath at the marker.

Shots rang out as the Preston-Harmony Memorial Rifle Squad gave a rifle salute which got everyone’s attention and as “TAPS” was played many experienced goose bumps.

In closing, David Swantek, Sr., Administrator of Memorial Affairs for the Minnesota State Veterans Cemeteries said thank you to “the people who helped make this beautiful cemetery a reality,” which includes many people.

First and foremost he thanked the five county board members at the time of the donation of the land to the State of Minnesota. These include Chuck Amunrud, Duane Bakke, Randy Dahl, Tom Kaase and Marc Prestby. Swantek said, “It is a perpetual monument that will be visited by thousands and thousands of people to recognize the service and dedication of our veterans” who will never be forgotten.

Swantek thanked many others, including Representative Greg Davids, who he said was “very helpful to us in passing key legislation in the Minnesota House of Representatives over the course of the project,” which he had pledged to do at the beginning of the project.

Following the ceremony, Davids expressed to the Fillmore County Journal how important the day was, saying, “It’s all about the veterans - it’s all about service to country,” and added, “I’ve worked on a lot of legislation over the years, but this one is very, very special” because, as he explains, “everyone worked together” on this project. Davids admitted that after working nine years on the project he was a bit choked up during the ceremony.

Davids also expressed gratitude to the county commissioners involved, Governor Dayton, Congressman Walz, Senator Jeremy Miller, and many others and especially to the City of Preston who all “stepped up” to make the project come to light.

When Duane Bakke was asked by the Fillmore County Journal what he thought about the ceremony, he said it was “hard to put into words” the feelings of going from what began as a thought to now dedicating the veterans cemetery. Bakke commented, “It’s going to be a beautiful place for veterans and their families to come and visit and as a board we are proud to be just a little part of it,” along with so many others who played a part in the project.

When asked what the dedication ceremony meant to the veterans and to himself personally, Representative Walz stated, “This is important especially with the youth being here - to see how much we care,” and on a personal note he said, “it means a lot to me to see this happen and seeing us all set together to get it done matters.”

As so many dignitaries, honored guests, family members, and visitors attended the Dedication Ceremony of the Minnesota Veterans Cemetery in Preston, it was for one reason - the veterans.

A heartfelt thank you for your service.

C ommentary The case for limited government

By Lee H. Hamilton It has been 35 years since Ronald Reagan’s first inaugural speech as President — the one in which he said, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the Lee H. p r o b l e m .”

Hamilton Over that time, hostility toward government seems only to have grown, led by politicians and embraced by millions of Americans. In this most recent presidential campaign, Republican candidates outdid one another in calling to abolish the agencies they were running to lead, including the IRS, the Department of Education, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Energy.

I find all this troubling. Not because I think those agencies — or the government as a whole — are faultless, but because I don’t see how a democratic society and market economy can function without an effective government. Capitalism and a representative democracy may need to function separately for this nation to be strong, prosperous, and free, but they also need to work together.

In fact, I’d argue that limited government is more often part of the solution than it is a problem. It funds core functions — infrastructure, basic research, the court system, education, anti-crime efforts, national security — that allow private markets and the private sector as a whole to flourish. It sustains national parks, interstate Editorial Cartoon

highways, libraries, medical research, the air traffic control system and other services that make this a vibrant society.

It strives to protect Americans from hazardous food and drugs, unsafe workplaces, discriminatory employers, and toxic polluters. It has played a key role in asserting fairness for minorities, women and the most vulnerable people in our society.

This is not to say that government does not overreach, or that it always performs as it should. On occasion, its leaders make poor and misguided decisions; its legislators, however well intentioned, create wasteful and unneeded programs.

And every time something like this happens, there are many of us waiting to bash government.

When it performs as it should, on the other hand, few people notice and even fewer of us stand up to defend it.

But let’s get real here. What’s the alternative? We’re not going to do away with government, give unfettered free rein to the market, and hope that someone decides to try to make a go of delivering core services. Nor are we going to go all out and establish government ownership of the means of production. Instead, we have to make the sometimes comfortable, sometimes uneasy co-existence of the market and the government work.

So it’s crucial for our political leaders to hit a pragmatic note and strive constantly to find the right balance between the two.

To debate and then establish in clear terms where government should and should not be active. To test what works and

what does not and then pursue the former and shut down the latter. To work hard to wring duplication out of the bureaucracy and rigorously pursue efficient, effective, and accountable government. To make sure that enforcement of the law is both tough and fair. And to recognize that their focus on policy needs to be balanced by a focus on effective management and implementation of programs.

The fact is, government has not changed much in size over the decades. For the last 50 years, federal net outlays have fluctuated between about 16 and 20% of GDP, with the occasional dip below or spike above. The total federal workforce stood at 5 million in 1964 and 4.2 million 50 years later.

Whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat in office, government doesn’t seem to be going away.

Nor, really, do most people seem to want it to. As a politician, you can always get applause for quoting the old Thoreau line (which he in turn paraphrased), “That government is best which governs least.” But start listing what government does that affects people’s everyday lives, and you’ll see members of that same audience nod their heads in agreement. It’s the balance between limited government and the private sector that it’s our job constantly to assess, debate, and get right.

He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Letter about Davids and the cigarette excise tax cut...

To the Editor, Our State Representative Greg Davids thinks that making cigarettes cheaper is a good idea.

He wants to help big out- ofstate tobacco companies at the expense of people’s health. His cigarette excise tax cut will cost Minnesotans about $30 million in lost revenue for the next biennium and untold millions in medical costs and insurance premium increases in the future.

It is really troubling that although Davids has had a quarter of a century to learn about our district’s challenges, his approach continues to be business as usual.

Our young people are leaving our farms and small towns in droves and his priority is more profits for big tobacco? How are cheaper cigarettes going to help our small towns repair their infrastructure?

How is his unwise tax cut going to help our young people compete in the changing economy?

How is it going to fix the historic Lanesboro dam or our roads and bridges?

Defenders of this tax break say they are really upset by the effect of regressive taxes on the poor.

(High percentages of poor people are smokers.) This defense would be laughable if it was not so sad. Let’s just agree that if Davids really wanted to make our tax system less regressive there are better ways to do it. If he really wanted to help taxpayers he could have increased direct property tax refunds for homeowners and renters instead of pushing a tax giveaway for big tobacco.

If this is the best our gridlocked legislature can do, then it is time for a change. I’m going to vote for Thomas Trehus in November.

Letter about Jeremy Miller...

To the Editor, The Minnesota Legislative session is over and no one is happier than Senator Jeremy Miller. It’s no longer where Senator Miller wants to be, at least based on his attendance record over the last two sessions, that’s what you’ve got to think. And who can blame him. He’s got a young family that needs him home in the evenings to tell them stories and read books to them. That’s not something you get to push the button on the remote to record and play back later when you have the time. There are no summer reruns.

Senator Miller cast some really unfortunate votes in this last session. For one, he voted against helping college students with their student debt and for another, he voted against family leave. Why? These are things that would have been a big help to the college students and struggling young families in his district. Why? Perhaps it’s because he is privileged. He probably has no college debt.

All he needed to get a good paying job in the family business was to take a few business courses at the local community college. A job that pays well enough that his wife can afford to stay home and take care of the kids. No need here for debt relief or family leave.

It’s time to let Senator Miller spend more time at home with the family. Thank him for serving, but let him move on.

C ommentary Reflections of Memorial Day

By Dr. Bryan Van Gorp I want to start by saying that I respect and honor those who have served in the military whether by draft or volunteering.

I also know that what I am about to say will anger many people and they will Dr. Bryan attempt to Van Gorp twist it into something unpatriotic. I consider myself a loyal American who would be willing to fight for my country if it was actually in peril from an outside force.

My father (dead now) was drafted

into WWII. He left a young wife and new daughter for three years to serve all across Europe in Gen. Patton’s 3rd Army, 10th Armor Division. He was part of the force caught behind enemy lines in the Battle of the Bulge. He received the Bronze Star and Presidential Citation. He came home with what now would be diagnosed as PTSD. I say this not to brag for him, he would not want that, he was never proud of his military service; it was just a responsibility he accepted. It is to let you know he understood war and combat as well as anyone reading this.

A few years ago after my mother died, I took him to the cemetery on Memorial Day for the services.

On the way back to his assisted liv-

ing place I said to him, “I am totally on board with honoring veterans for their service and I respect your service, but shouldn’t we honor peace activists at least equally, that takes courage too.” He did not respond immediately. I could tell he had not thought about it from that perspective before. After a couple of minutes he replied, “Yes, you are right.” He was not the type to say yes if he did not agree.

Early in the Vietnam War he supported that effort. After a year or two he decided it was something we should not be involved in because he understood the bloodshed, scars, and destruction occurring on both sides and that was occurring without any real purpose or goal.

In my lifetime (born in 1952) all the wars we have been involved in were stupid wars without purpose or end point. Yes, military contrac-

tors have made lots of money arming both sides, yes it has served the political agenda of neocon interventionists and in some cases it served fossil fuel corporations. It has also caused the slaughter of many more than a million innocents, tens of thousands of soldiers’ lives and many times that many maimed, and it has cost trillions of dollars.

Keep in mind that most empires break themselves through over extension and over spending on their military. So much capital and resources are devoted to the military that eventually the rest of society and government can’t be maintained. The USSR is just the most recent example.

Our most recent effort in the Middle East has created ISIS, given terrorists recruitment propaganda because of our torturing, illegal detainment, and killing of civilians.

mal. If not, I’ll sum it up for you: Mother takes child to zoo, child defies mother by climbing into unsafe area to gain access to gorilla, child falls into gorilla enclosure, gorilla becomes Sara Snipes stressed from people shouting, zoo shoots and kills gorilla, and child is safe.

To many, it seems like an unfortunate case, but a predictable, and accepted, outcome.

While it doesn’t occur often, these situations have presented themselves before in 1986 and 1995. In both cases, both gorilla and child were unharmed. However, such is not the most recent case involving the Cincinnati Zoo. From what reports state, Harambe, the gorilla that was executed, was lethally fired upon after discovering the boy was inside Harambe’s enclosure. Of course, this not only triggers hard feelings towards both

sides of the story (those against killing Harambe and those for killing Harambe), but also triggering what people call ‘parent shaming’.

There are many mistakes which were taken on sides of both the mother and the zoo which resulted in the unnecessary murder of an endangered western lowland gorilla. These gorillas are categorized as a critically endangered species since poaching, military destruction, and disease have caused the population to decline over 60%.

According to the WWF, it would take about 75 years for the numbers to recover even if every threat to the gorillas were removed. This would make it safe to say that conservation efforts for these animals are pretty crucial.

Now, first, looking at the mother’s side of fault, it is extremely hard to understand how one can be so distant from their own child to not notice a four-year-old crawl through two barriers and falling into a gorilla pit. Many state that if she was overwhelmed with this child, or had other children to be

in-charge of, that help should have been recruited to keep everything in-line. Especially if you know that you have a difficult child. This could all be categorized as ‘parentshaming’, or as anyone with a sense of morality calls it, responsibility.

On the other hand, parents will empathize with the mother stating that children are fast and can be difficult to keep-up with. However, that just reinforces the question of why the child was brought there in the first place without help. Regardless, why was it so easy for this child to crawl into a gorilla enclosure like that? The zoo must not be taking as many precautions to keep accidents like this happening if a four-year-old is able to dismantle barriers and gain access to an animal pit. Additionally, was it absolutely necessary for lethal force to be taken? In an area like a zoo, tranquilizers are most definitely available, or should be, in these types of situations. If not, non-lethal force should be adequate enough to help with these types of incidents. Nets? Create non-lethal injuries to the gorilla

Houston elementary students in good hands

By Carol Bromeland If you were in the city of Houston the week of May 23-27, you saw lines of elementary students on the move all day long throughout town. Renovation of the elemenCarol tary building Bromeland needed to start May 23, so staff had to have all their classroom materials and supplies boxed and gone so that the work could begin that day.

And of course students and staff had to be gone also, thus the activity in the community.

Classes moved to various

churches and other buildings for that last week of school.

This required lots of planning, preparing, and organization by everyone. If anyone thinks that last week of school was wasted, you would have been pleasantly surprised to find out that it was packed full of learning!

I am a substitute teacher in the school district throughout the school year, and was helping as support staff in the 6th grade classrooms that were based at Cross of Christ Lutheran Church during that active week. What a chance to see two dedicated, fun teachers in action and learning in full motion!

Teachers had field trips planned, and learning activities created that were FUN! Fun does not mean that kids weren’t learning. Mrs.

Brenda O’Hare, and Ms Amanda Peters, 6th grade teachers, had done their homework. Planning weeks in advance culminated in review activities that were meaningful for lifelong skills, and fun for the students who participated. What creative ideas to recap the year’s learning!

Students were all required to read several classic books of interest to their age group, and then had a Battle of the Books that required teams of students to answer important comprehension questions about the books. All students were highly engaged, and exhibited the teamwork they had practiced all year.

Students engaged in other group work like writing the months of the year, and spelling them correctly to get credit. Teams competed in a quiz bowl where they

Terror is an emotion within ourselves; you can’t have a war on an emotion. Who would think of a war on jealousy? How would we win that war? The terrorists have won to the extent that we have given up our basic rights such as our privacy, broken international law, and busted our budget. We can’t even fly without waiting in line for hours.

Yes, I honor those who were willing to serve, even while knowing many were duped by a false sense of a kind of flag waving patriotism.

It is not their fault they were misled by people willing to sacrifice other people’s children and other people’s resources. Real patriotism holds its government accountable and fights to make decisions ethical and transparent.

And let’s remember to honor the peace activists who work for what we all really want, peace. where he is unable to walk? For a critically endangered animal, the use of lethal force should have been weighed heavily.

However it is looked at, these situations happen all too often at the cost of innocent animals who only act the only way they know how: to survive. We cage them to help them, yet destroy their lives as soon as it has the potential to threaten ours. These occurrences make us ponder the ethical implications of this way of life. We want to control the populations of other animals by either helping them reproduce or legalize hunting in a way to diminish the population of other species, but still encourage our own to grow and expect to not have repercussions. Parallel to the bear that was killed near Chatfield, Minn., humans are encroaching on land where animals have no other place to go or we punish/kill an animal that is meant to be in the wild if it acts out in captivity, or in this case, something completely out of its control happens.

If we aren’t careful, we will wipeout those we think are “below” us only to say “I wish we would’ve cared sooner.” were required to answer questions in math, reading, science, spelling, language, etc., All the questions reviewed skills in areas that they had studied throughout the year.

To mix it up and get students up and moving, relays and other more active events were interspersed with the academic activities. Prizes and treats purchased by the teachers made the friendly competition a little more exciting.

Buildings do not define a school, or assure learning teachers do. I was privileged to spend the week with these two enthusiastic, caring, highly qualified people. Houston kids are in good hands. The school year ended with fun and learning, and children left for the summer with the feeling that school is a good place to be.

Thank you Mrs. O’Hare and Ms Peters for letting me be a part of this wonderful week. Your students share my gratitude, I know.

All aboard! A brief history of the railroad in Whalan, Minnesota

Train coming through Whalan near the depot ca. 1923.

By Kathy Ferguson Whalan is a small village that has been served by the railroad, in one way or another, for well over 100 years. Railroad history in Whalan began when the rail line was opened between Rushford and Lanesboro and its heritage continues to today as the former railroad bed is used as a trail for walking, skiing, and biking and is managed by the Minnesota Department of

Natural Resources.

Holt Township, where Whalan is located, was first settled in 1854. John Whaalahan, an Irish immigrant, donated the land for the town site which later became Whalan. Even before Whalan was incorporated into a village in 1876, the railroad made its way across Fillmore County and through Whalan. The railroad line opened between Rushford

and Lanesboro in 1868. During that year the first house in Whalan was built by D.J. Cameron. The railroad was important for those involved with agriculture in southeast Minnesota and eliminated the need for harvested crops to be transported to McGregor, Iowa; Brownsville or Winona. Growth continued in Whalan with the construction of the depot in the 1870s, which was part of the agreement with John Whaalahan when he donated the village land years before. The mid1870s was a booming time for Whalan. Whalan’s largest population on record, 156, was in 1876.

Many businesses were present in Whalan around this time, including hotels, general stores, grocery stores, mills, taverns, a pharmacy, and a post office, among others.

The tracks remained the same, but the name of the railroad serving Whalan and Fillmore County changed through the years. In 1854, when legislation for the railroad in Fillmore County was first introduced in the territorial legislature, the Root River Railroad was organized. Then in 1855, the Root River Valley and Southern Minnesota Railroad Company was chartered by the territory of Minnesota. Another name change

occurred in 1857 when it became the Southern Minnesota Railroad Company. These name changes occurred before the first train even entered Fillmore County, in Rushford, in 1867. The next change occurred in March 1877 when the railroad was reorganized as the Southern Minnesota Railway Company. In 1880, the Southern Minnesota Railroad went into the hands of the Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul Company and was later referred to as The Milwaukee Road, serving the area until 1978.

One of Whalan’s lifelong residents, Adolph “Snook” Evenson, worked for the railroad from 1916 until his retirement 45 years later.

The portion of the Milwaukee Road that he worked covered the route from La Crosse to Austin.

Over the course of his career, he worked as a section hand, brakeman, and conductor. He saw many changes in the trains on the line over the years. The number of trains went from four passenger trains and two way freights per day to only one freight train per day at the time of his retirement. At one point it was not uncommon to see a freight train with 50 cars.

His family recalls many memories of Grandpa Snook’s work on the

railroad, including him throwing his laundry off the train as it came through Whalan next to his home by the tracks. There were also trips for family members on the train to enjoy shopping and ice cream in La Crosse.

The record population of 1876 and growth of the late 1800s was not sustained. In 1953, the Whalan depot was closed, sold to a private citizen, and moved across the tracks. The last train came rumbling through Whalan in 1978 when the Milwaukee Road declared bankruptcy. Things were quiet after the closing of the railroad until the concept of converting abandoned railroad beds to recreational trails emerged. In the 1980s the Root River State Bicycle Trail was opened and made its way through the heart of Whalan.

Today on pleasant spring, summer, and fall days the trail is alive with bikers, walkers, runners, and skaters and winter brings crosscountry skiers. They are enjoying what started out those many years ago as the Root River Railroad and is now the Root River Trail.

Whalan will celebrate the significance of the railroad at the Stand Still Parade on Saturday, May 21, 2016, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The parade will “stand still” from 11 a.m. until 12 noon. There will be food, entertainment, and fun for all.

By Sheriff Tom Kaase On Thursday, May 5, Fillmore County Health Public Health Educator Brenda Pohlman, Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Derek Fuglestad, and I, Sheriff Tom Kaase attended the 12th annual TZD (Towards Zero Deaths) Regional Workshop, held at the International Event Center in Rochester. The reason for the TZD initiative is to reduce the number of deaths annually on our Minnesota Roadways to ZERO! The Southeast TZD Steering committee is led by the “4 E’s”: Enforcement, Engineering, Education, and EMS/Emergency Medical & Trauma Services. This was a day-long seminar that was very interesting and informational. It included speakers from Minnesota TZD, the State Patrol, MNDOT, the Department of

Public Safety, and the Center of Transportation.

The opening segment included a welcome and Southeast TZD region crash data from 2011 to 2015. Fillmore County has had 10 fatalities and 30 serious injuries in this time frame.

This reaffirms our need for the continuation of education and enforcement in our county.

The second segment focused on Critical Incident Stress Management. All emergency responders: EMT’s, fire, maintenance workers, or law enforcement all experience stress in some ways while dealing with crashes. How a person debriefs after these critical incidences has a huge impact on that person’s wellness.

Next was a speaker, Chris Weber, a distracted driver who struck a mother and her two

young daughters as they were biking near their family farm.

The mother, Andrea Boeve, lost her life in this accident. A very moving presentation! Please go to https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=mKKw-Q1M80o and watch the video. After watching the video, please remember that this could happen to anyone of us who texts and drives, or in any way is distracted.

We then received a presentation on new and flexible designs in roadways that make our highways and byways safer for us to travel on.

The next presentation was entitled “What Are They Thinking?

Understanding the High Risk Driver”. High risk drivers are obviously at an increased risk of crashes, but most if not all have the belief that “everyone is doing it”. How do we reach them, educate them, and develop the best strategies in helping them make smarter decisions?

The conference was wrapped up with breakout sessions on what different agencies are doing in support of the TZD effort.

The sharing those ideas with each other allowed agencies, such as ours to come home with new and effective ideas to make our roads safer.

A Great Read!

Mabel First Lutheran celebrates 125 years

Mabel First Lutheran Church will celebrate their 125th anniversary with a variety of events on June 11 and 12.

By Hannah Wingert The Mabel First Lutheran Church will be celebrating their 125th anniversary on June 11 and 12. During the celebration, those who served God in the past will be remembered. The ministries of the congregation today will also be acknowledged, and they will consider where they are called to be in the future.

Saturday’s events will include a cemetery walk featuring storytelling by local actors and actresses dressed in period costumes, an afternoon service with special music, an ice cream social, and a production of the one-man play “Witnesses” by Curt Cloninger.

Jonathan Swenson, an ordained minister, actor, and founding

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. director of the Paraphrase Theatre will perform the play. Swenson travels to events across the country to share stories about God’s love. The play portrays eight characters from the Bible who responded to Jesus.

After the Sunday service, a catered dinner will be held at the Mabel Community Center. Reservations can be made at mabelfirst.org and are $12 a plate. Children 5 and under eat for free.

A 125th anniversary cookbook is for sale at $15 a copy.

The cookbook features recipes collected from the members of the church. Also for sale is a full-color history and directory book that was put together specifically for the 125th celebration. The book is available for $5. Aprons embroidered with the church name and logo are

being sold in two different colors (brown and orange) and sizes for $12.

Since the congregation has a rich history of serving the Lord, the theme verse for the celebration is John 12:26 “If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be.”

The church was the product of several local congregations, the oldest of which was begun in 1871. The church has been in Mabel for 125 years. The church building was completed in 1926. Grant Melby, who did lots of construction in the area, built the church.

“We want to reach out and touch the community with the power of God’s Word.” said Pastor Elliot Malm. Pastor Malm has been ministering at the church since October 2014.

USDA offers new loans for portable farm storage and handling equipment

Portable equipment can help producers, including small-scale and local farmers, get products to market quickly COLUMBUS, OHIO, April 29, 2016 – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will provide a new financing option to help farmers purchase portable storage and handling equipment.

Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Val Dolcini and Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Administrator Elanor Starmer announced changes to the Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) program during a local and regional food roundtable in Columbus, Ohio. The loans, which now include a smaller microloan option with lower down payments, are designed to help producers, including new,

small and mid-sized producers, grow their businesses and markets.

“As more communities reconnect with agriculture, consumer demand is increasing for food produced locally or regionally,” said Dolcini. “Portable handling and storage equipment is vital to helping farmers get their products to market more quickly and better maintain product quality, bringing them greater returns. That’s why we’ve added this type of equipment as a new category for our Farm Storage Facility Loan program.”

The program also offers a new “microloan” option, which

Mom

By Tammy Danielson The Rainbow Ribbon It has been quite a few years since I have attended an elementary school awards ceremony, but watching the elementary track and field day recently in Lanesboro sparked a great memory. At the awards ceremony, the children who do not “place” in an event receive a Rainbow Ribbon; it is a beautiful multicolor ribbon that may be even prettier than the first, second, or third place ribbon. This colorful ribbon is in recognition of the child’s efforts and participation.

As we venture into adulthood and motherhood and out of the rainbow ribbon days, it appears

that we are missing what could be an important link to our childhood---recognition of participation. We adults tend to be so determined that there are only two options in life, success or failure, that we tend to forget the successes we have achieved by simply participating in life. So, take a moment to think of your busy days and why you should have a Rainbow Ribbon hanging on your car rearview mirror.

Here is an example…

A Rainbow Ribbon kind of day…

arrival time of 7:30-8 p.m., cook supper unless the starving men could not wait any longer and scrounged something up. Oops!

Put it in reverse…if there is an evening college class the arrival time at home is around 9:30 p.m. and there is absolutely no way my family waited for supper nor am I cooking at that time.

Next on the list is to ask myself a series of questions: Is it volunteer night? Do I have a meeting after work? Is there someone I am supposed to call back? Did I miss a birthday? Is my child home? If so, ask him to spend 10 minutes visiting with me. After the personal quiz and time with my kid (yea!), I move on to start laundry, see if dishes need to be done, press clothes for the next day, ignore dusty tables and floor that has to be cleaned and then sit down to start on homework or watch TV---it really doesn’t matter which one it is because my eyelids are closed within five minutes of sitting down.

Now, I understand this daily pattern does not just belong to me. There are many mothers who are working in or outside the home who juggle many commitments. Hence, the EPIPHANY! We ALL deserve a Rainbow Ribbon! There was no finish line to cross (unless you count your head hitting the pillow) and the only competition we have is with ourselves, which is hoping we can get it all done.

To all busy moms reading this

pressures.

First of all, I would like to congratulate my fellow juniors on making it through this year.

Junior year courses are really tough. Chemistry, pre-calculus, and a college class entirely about plants consumed a quickly-passing junior year for me. As junior year is ending, we are now constantly bombarded to answer specific questions about our future, regarding college and careers, by caring community members who want to support the Youth (and Future) of America. Honestly, I don’t know what I want to do for the rest of my life or even after high school, and – believe me – yes, I am stressed about it! There is a lot of pressure placed on students at this stage in high school to participate in the “right” activities and classes to best prepare for our future, but this is much easier said than done. Where do I go from here? In just one year I will be preparing to leave home and find a job or go to college, but I have no idea what the specifics will consist of. These choices are up to me; I have control of my future, whether I am ready for it or not. As a junior, I have one year to make these choices while also trying to live my life and enjoy the time I have to be young and not worry about where I will end up.

I’m almost a senior. I’m almost starting my last year of high school. I’m almost ready to go to college and leave home. But almost doesn’t mean I’m there yet. For a long time, all I wanted was to be done with this stage of my life; I wanted to be with those seniors as they moved out and went to college. After finally being faced with the decisions that will create my future, I don’t want it to go any faster than it’s already going. I am now faced with decisions that cause me to

grow up faster and be prepared for when I no longer live securely with my family. I am glad I am just finishing my junior year. I am glad I have another year to laugh in the halls where I have gone to school since I was in kindergarten and enjoy the time I have before I face the “real world”.

Finally, I would like to give advice to my fellow juniors, and future students in this same predicament: We will be okay! We will finish the papers, assign-

article, please remember: You participate in the great race of life each day and deserve a colorful ribbon …or a mani/pedi, shopping spree, new car, or a vacation to a sunny beach…oh quit dreaming and take the Rainbow Ribbon for Pete’s sake!

Add turkey and heat through. ments, projects, and finals and somewhere in it all we will find time to live life and find our passions. Society will always pressure us for decisions and choices before we are ready, but wherever we end up in life we will succeed.

Juniors (and people of all ages): Make choices for yourself and no one else, and don’t be afraid to tell people you have no idea what you want to do for the rest of your life, because you will always be able to make your own path.

Happy 25th Anniversary on June 8th!

Ask a Trooper

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: How long does a speeding ticket and written warning ticket stay on your record?

Answer: A written warning does not go on your driving record, but it is recorded in our computer system.

Troy H. C i t a t i o n s Christianson for speed, according to the Driver and Vehicle Services; speeding tickets generally stay on record for five years and serious speeds are 10 years.

Each year, illegal or unsafe speed is one of the leading contributing factors in Minnesota’s fatal crashes.

Costs of speeding violations

vary by county, but typically are at least $120 for traveling 10 mph over the limit. Motorists stopped at 20 mph over the speed limit face double the fine, and those ticketed traveling more than 100 mph can lose their license for six months.

Speeding is not an innocent crime — it puts every motorist at risk on the road: • Greater potential for loss of vehicle control.

• Increased stopping distance.

• Less time available for driver response for crash avoidance.

• Increased crash severity — the faster the speed, the more violent the crash.

If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, Minn. 55901-5848. (Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@state. mn.us)

road project was wrapped up substantially by the winter of 2014 and plans for the volleyball courts were back in play. “We lost a lot of revenue during the road project. We can’t make that up,” says Kitchens. “But, we’re hoping now to get people in and

get the word out.”

Construction on the courts began in the spring of 2015. The court area was excavated down 18 inches to create the foundation area. Once leveled and set, poles were set in concrete and the courts filled with 700 yards of washed, clean sand. The regulation-sized courts are 60 feet long and 30 feet wide with

The popularity of sand volleyball leagues has given Nordic Lanes & Lounge another way to entertain customers.

Monday, June 6, 2016 an additional 10 feet on the ends, making the whole area 100 feet wide with space between the courts. Nets, pads, and related gear was then purchased and added. There were plenty of upfront costs for the construction. “I had no idea sand was that expensive,” jokes Kitchens.

“But, it’s working out. We’ve got the courts and a serving bar area on the patio. We’re keeping it simple.”

While there weren’t leagues pressing Kitchens to put in the court, it didn’t take much marketing and promotion to get them in. Through the winter, the word got out and 12 teams were ready to go for the spring 2015 start. Thirteen teams are already signed up for 2016. The leagues run Tuesday nights only, but the popularity of sand volleyball has Kitchens hoping to expand to include Thursday nights. “We’re hoping to get something started in the next 3-4 weeks. If we could get six Thursday night teams it would be great,” he enthuses.

The teams are co-ed and six people. A running list of substitutions helps anyone who’s not already in the league get in on some games. “It’s a fun league,” says Kitchens. “It they win, great. If not, it’s no big deal.”

During non-tournament league play, games are three matches.

Teams play all three, whether or not one team has already won two matches. As is usually the rule, teams play to 25 points,

with a rule to win by two points.

If play continues, it’s the first to secure 30 points.

The property has seen some added benefits of their patience and location for the courts. “Many of the owners of outdoor courts in Minnesota have to take it all up for the winter,” notes Kitchens. “We bring the gear inside, cover it up, and we’re good to go until spring.” Summer leagues run from May until mid-August.

Bowling kicks off at the lanes in the last week of August. “Sand and bowling leagues don’t mix,” laughs Kitchens.

Additional updates to the courts were made this year.

While snow fencing served as the original perimeter fencing, new posts and 10-foot high fencing was set earlier this year and gives the courts a professional, finished look. A series of outdoor sports lights were also added, extending the available play time for the leagues. “It’s tough to get people in before 6:30. Last year, we could play until just 8 or 8:30 p.m. This year, we can play until 10 p.m. or later,” adds Kitchens.

The courts are also available for open play Friday through Sunday throughout the summer and fall.

The teams are also fantastic about having to play in lessthan-beachy weather. Games are canceled for dangerous weather, but most times the weather is accommodating. “There was one game were the sand was cold and one where it drizzled on and off.

Page 13

They were great about it,” says Kitchens.

This year, league play kicked off May 10. Cost to participate in the leagues is $150, $200 if paid after May. At the end of the year, there is a payout, pizza party, and awards reception.

A fall league season will be a new option for 2016 and will kick off at the conclusion of league bowling. Kitchens estimates that fall volleyball could go through October. “We’d like to attract some out of town teams. We’ve had players and teams from Lewiston, Houston, and Winona. They come and say, ‘Wow! This facility is nice.’

We don’t cut any corners,” stresses Kitchens.

Teams in summer league play will receive a discount on the Rushford Days volleyball tournaments. Rushford Days is held July 11-17 and tournaments are planned for that weekend. Friday there will be a round robin of 5-6 teams. Saturday, up to 20 teams could take part in a two-day, Saturday-Sunday tournament with pool play Saturday and double elimination Sunday.

Sunday night an annual beach party will be held on site.

For more information, contact Jim Kitchens at (507) 864-7799 or nordicln@acegroup.cc.

“I’d like to be able to play, but my knees won’t take it,” jokes Kitchens. “But, it’s not just something for the young people.

The teams have a great summer.”

Brake for Treasures on the Trail

Jane Lewis has opened Treasures on the Trail in Whalan, Minn., which features handcrafted gifts from local artisans, including herself.

Photo by Barb Jeffers

By Barb Jeffers We are very lucky to have a jewel like the Root River State Trail in our backyard and now the bike trail through Whalan, Minn. will bring you to a hidden treasure.

After retiring from a full-time job as an office manager in Forest Lake, Minn., Jane Lewis is now living a life she loves in Whalan.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

Monday, June 6, 2016

She and her husband have converted the garage of their home into Treasures on the Trail.

After purchasing the home in December of 2015, the couple did “a lot of work” to transform the garage into what is now an adorable shop which she opened on July 4, 2015.

Lewis began making jewelry approximately eight years ago

and has a very creative touch.

She says, “About half of the items are mine” in the shop and the rest are consigned items.

“I’m doing it for fun,” says Lewis, as she enjoys making jewelry, and meeting wonderful people while doing it is a bonus for her.

Lewis comments that the residents in the area have been supportive and she has had many positive comments from customers.

With so many uniquely crafted necklaces, earrings, and other jewelry pieces a patron can spend a long time trying to narrow their choice down to one or two favorites.

Oil paintings and watercolors by talented artists will certainly draw your attention as you walk around the shop, as will mosaics

by Heidi Dybing. Wire art, pillows, garden art, greeting cards, soap, and so much more can be found at Treasures on the Trail.

Many gift ideas can be found at Treasures on the Trail, and not only for women. Candles for men come in scents such as Chicks Dig It, Grampa’s Pipe and Beef Jerky.

Enjoy a Peaceful Getaway

Fishing lures from Root River Lures, LLC of Chatfield, Minn. may be another great choice for a gift for you favorite guy this Father’s Day. Whalan souvenirs are available, which include creative t-shirts with sayings such as “Lost in Whalan” are popular. For bicycle enthusiasts there is a t-shirt with a picture of handlebars and the saying “Life Behind Bars” above the picture.

Softball Heads Back to Austin

It’s not a yearly pilgrimage. It’s getting to be close. A class change didn’t even affect things. For the fourth time in five years, Chatfield softball (2-seed, 15-3) makes the Section “Final Four”. Their trek started with a third win over P-E-M (7-seed, 6-14). The Gophers never

authored a back-to-back tripledouble combo, giving the Gophers the 3-2 lead. In the bottom, LC had the bases juiced, but a groundout ended it. Chatfield prevailed 3-2 (Hines 1-1, 2B, RBI; Braden Brehmer 6 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 4 K, 1 BB, Win; Carter Duxbury 1-3, 2B, 2 RBI; Ahern 1-3, 3B, R; Tristin Aguiar 1-3, R, Save). Familiar post-season upstart, FC/L (8-seed, 9-13 > see below) loomed in the semis. The Gophers got a 2-hit, 4-walk second inning (3-0). They led 4-0 thru four. In a regular season, FC/L led 6-0 only to fall 7-6.

The Falcons tried for the big comeback. A couple runs in the fifth made it 4-2. In the sixth, with runners on second and third, a fielding

inning. Starting at the six-hitter, courtesy of a full-count single and a Gopher infield throwing error, Cotter put runners on the corners.

RBI-singles by Sunah Shim and Josie Huelskamp denied Chatfield the upset win. Cotter prevailed 5-4 (Berg HR-5, RBI, R; LaPlante 2-3, two 2B, RBI; Campbell 1-2, 2B, RBI, R; Fretland 1-2, 2B, 2 RBI; Berge 6 IP, 3 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 3 K, 3 BB, Loss). Chatfield then rallied versus La Crescent (6-seed, 11-11). Chase, Chatfield’s first/ second good pitcher, tossed a scoreless final six innings. Jeff Johnson’s girls scored the final four runs for the 6-2 win, the 1AA East runnerup trophy (Chase 7 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 6 K, 0 BB, Win, 2-4, RBI; Gould/LaPlante 2-3, 2 R; Kailee Bernard 2-3, RBI; Hailee Stock 2-4, RBI). Chatfield (18-4) takes on Pine Island (18-5) next.

trailed. Eighth-grade pitcher Lexi Chase surrendered just one hit, a sixth-inning home run to Haley Dessner. The blast made it a 3-2 ballgame. PEM went quietly in the seventh. Chatfield had just three hits (Britney Fretland/Belle Berg 1-3, RBI; Sydney Gould 1-3, 2B, R). Chase (7 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 8 K, 3 BB, Win) did the work.

Chatfield then put up three runs in each of the first two innings for the 6-0 lead over St. Charles (3-seed, 14-6) in a 1AA East semi. The Gophers prevailed 6-3 to take the season series 2-1 (Chase 2-4, R, 7 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, Win; Berg 3-4, RBI, 2 R; Carissa Campbell 1-2, 2 RBI; Gould 2-4, RBI; Fretland 2-3, R). For the East championship, Chatfield took on #8 Cotter (1-seed, 21-1). The Ramblers put up three in the first (Kirsten Weifenbach 2-run HR).

Gopher eighth grade pitcher Carlie Berge then settled (five hit-less innings). In the fourth, Campbell (2B) and Fretland (2-run 2B) each rapped shots to the fence (3-2). An inning later, a Berg long solo home run, and a Megan LaPlante RBIfence-double, put Chatfield up 4-3. They needed nine outs. The first six came, but then the seventh

error allowed one Falcon to plate.

The tying run was gunned down at home. In Chatfield’s sixth, Agiuar doubled. Ben Ihrke singled him in for an insurance run. Chatfield grabbed the 5-3 win (C: Aguiar 7 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 K, 4 BB, Win, 1-3, 2B, R; Ihrke 1-3, 2 SB, RBI, R; Ahern 1-2, RBI, R; Nick Maki 1-2, RBI; Aaron Paulson 1-3, RBI; Brehmer 1-2, R. FCL: Logan Corson 1-3, RBI, R; Samuel Peters 1-3, RBI; Trace Tollefson 1-1, R; Walker Ward 4 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, ND). Chatfield (11-8) will face 6-seeded Lake City (1110) for the 1AA East championship.

It moved the junior’s record to 4-0 on the year. He also boasts the Falcons second-best batting average.

Post-Season Falcons Show Up Again

FC/L baseball made their third low-seeded post-season run in four years. The Falcons (8-seed, 8-13) started by notching the biggest upset of the 1AA tourney. They knocked off St. Charles (1-seed, 18-2) in the quarters, 5-0. Collin Scott (3-4, 2B, HR, 4 RBI, 2 R) and Samuel Peters (7 IP, 101-pitches, 5 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 8 K, Win) were the heroes (Cole Schwichtenberg 1-3, RBI, R; Sam Rustad 2-2; Justin Ristau RBI; Tollefeson 1-2, R). The Falcons then fell to Chatfield (above).

Keith Larson’s boys re-grouped versus Cotter (2-seed, 14-6).

Seven of nine Falcons had hits and/or scored runs. Pitching surrendered just two hits in the 8-2 win (Schwichtenberg 5 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 1 K, 3 BB, Win, 2-5, 2B, 2 RBI, R; Riley Means 2-4, 2 RBI, R; Ristau 2-4, RBI; Rustad 2 RBI, R). And after a 3-13 start, FC/L (10-14) followed by going 7-1.

Hot Shots

FC’s girls golf leads the Section 1A field after one day. Grace Miller tops the leaderboard. Madison Scheevel is in third. R-P’s boys (4th place) moved on to day two. Lanesboro’s Isaac Bierman is in fourth. RPH’s Noah Carlson set a 200-meter record and had three firsts at the 1A Sub-1 Meet.

LFC’s Ashley Miner, and Chatfield’s Gage Tuohy, each did the same. Tro-Cane Matt Culhane had two firsts. GMLOKS’s girls took first at the 1A Sub 2 Meet.

Sydney Bendtsen, Emily Hovden, and Lauren Buchholtz had three firsts. Three girls relays took first.

Peter Torkelson had two (300-H, 1,600) firsts. Courtney Fate hit two homers, and Gretchen Corson another in a GMLOK softball win over Triton. The Bulldogs had their first four-game play-off run since 2007, ending with a program best 13 wins.

Recycling 101

By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator Fillmore County residents contact me by phone, e-mail, or in person, with questions they have concerning rec ycling.

Some of these questions are asked quite LaVerne C. frequently.

Paulson Today I will answer several of them and others will appear in another article in the near future.

What can I do with my paper egg cartons? I think it’s a waste to landfill them. Yes, it is. You can use them to store golf balls, jewelry, and craft supplies.

However, if they are clean, you can give them to someone who raises chickens and needs them for eggs. If they are soiled, then the best place for them is the compost pile. They absorb moisture quite well and because the fibers are quite short, they will fall apart quickly to become a necessary part of the composting process. Styrofoam egg cartons cannot be used in the compost bin.

Is there no way to recycle Styrofoam? There is, but not in Fillmore County at this time.

However, you can use pieces of it (not the peanuts) to fill the bottoms of large flower pots you may have on your deck or lawn for tomatoes, peppers, or flowers. Many plants do not have extensive root systems and you can save half the amount of potting mixture if you fill the bottom half of the the pot with Styrofoam. The amount of Styrofoam used depends upon how much potting mixture you need to keep your plants happy.

Is it OK to cut both ends out of a steel can and flatten it to save room in my recycling container?

For years this was a good practice, but today, with our single stream recycling, the machine doing a lot of the separating, sometimes “sees” flattened cans as cardboard and they end up in the wrong pile... which is probably not good. By the way, you don’t have to remove the label. Just rinse them out and toss them into your recycling container. The tops are quite recyclable, as well.

Are plastic soda/pop bottles recyclable? They certainly are.

Even though it is difficult to see, you will possibly find a “1” or a “2” on the bottom, but the words, “please recycle,” usually appear somewhere on the label that surrounds the middle of the bottle. The cap of a bottle is not recyclable at this time, so you can toss that into your landfill garbage. Even though the wall of a plastic water bottle is much thinner than the wall of a soda/ pop bottle, they are both very recyclable. However, less than 10%, perhaps less than 5% get recycled. The plastic of the soda bottle is thicker than a water

Page 21

bottle due to the carbonation of the pop that could cause the water bottle to explode from the pressure.

Can I recycle my alkaline batteries in Fillmore County? At this time, Fillmore County does not accept them. Just landfill them. But you should place each 9-volt battery in its own plastic sandwich bag or cover the posts with a couple layers of tape. Nine-volt batteries have been known to spark and start fires even though they are assumed to be dead. However, all button batteries like the ones used in hearing aids, are to be recycled. Most of them contain mercury that we don’t want in our soil, water, or air. They also contain cadmium which is no friend of the environment either. We will accept them here at the Resource Recovery Center between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. any day the courthouse is open, Hazardous Household Waste Day, and usually the first Saturday of the month unless a holiday is involved. On Saturdays, it is advisable to call us at (507) 765-4704 to make sure we are open. All other rechargeable batteries from your camera, cell phone, drill, shaver, nail gun, grass trimmer, tooth brush, weed eater, or cordless telephones need to be recycled.

Just bring them to us and we will gladly take them off your hands..... for free.

May I bring my recyclables to the Recycling Center or one of the rural recycling bins in plastic bags? Certainly, you can bring them in plastic bags, but the bags have to be emptied and taken home with you or left in the container here at the Recycling Center. Our goal is to find no plastic bags in the bins here in Preston or in any of the rural bins throughout the county. I think I am seeing fewer plastic bags now than a couple years ago, but there are still too many.

Please place your shredded paper into a paper grocery bag and tape it or tie it shut or put it into a closed paper box.

Americans use 100,000,000 (one hundred million) steel cans every day. All those hot dishes using cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups add up... not to mention the tomato soup to go with the toasted cheese sandwiches. We need those cans back for recycling to make more cans. If your steel can has a “domed” top, do not use the contents. This is usually a sign that something has gone wrong and what is in the can has gone bad. Don’t even open it. Dispose of the sealed can and its contents in your landfill garbage.

The amazing month of June With so many exciting monthlong events, temperate weather for people who live in areas of the world where summer is about to begin and special occasions like Father’s Day and school

graduations, June is a popular month. June is the sixth month of the year according to the Gregorian calendar, which much of the world relies on, but it wasn’t always that way. According to the early Roman calendar, June was the fourth month and only had 29 days. The number of days was increased to 30 when Caesar reformed the calendar. While many people believe that the month of June was named for the Roman goddess Juno, who is the wife of Jupiter, others have said that its name actually came

from the Latin word iuniors, which means, “the younger ones.”

This is the opposite of majors, or elders, from which May’s name is believed to have originated.

People lucky enough to be born in June enjoy some of the nicest temperatures of the year. June’s main birthstone is the pearl, but alexandrite and moonstone also have been used. The official flower of June is the rose, and they often bloom in abundance this time of year. In addition to National Dairy Month, National Candy Month, Flag Day and many other observations, June is one of the most popular months for young couples to tie the knot.
