Whalan Fastpitch Tournament in Hall of Fame

By Barb Jeffers barb@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The small city of Whalan, Minn., has once again become infamous as the Whalan Lutheran Church Men’s Fastpitch Tournament was recently inducted into the Minnesota Sports Hall of Fame.

This is the first time a tournament was elected for the Minnesota Sports Hall of Fame instead of an individual, which is a very distinguished achievement.

The tournament was nominated by Davis Gilbertson, chairman of the Minnesota Sports Federation softball board and Perry Counce, who is also on the board.

When asked why the Whalan Lutheran Church Men’s Fastpitch Tournament was nominated, Gilbertson stated that “it was time” as the tournament has been taking place for so many years and was “very deserving” of the induction.

The tournament, which was started by Gene Johnson, took

Members of the teams entered in the 2017 Whalan Lutheran Church Men’s Fastpitch Tournament join with Davis Gilbertson with the Hall of Fame, Whalan city council members, and others who are connected with the tournament, following the induction ceremony for the tournament on Saturday, July 1, 2017.

Photo by Barb Jeffers place for the first time in 1970 and has created cherished memories for both players and their families and friends through the years it has been held.

Johnson’s widow, Charlotte Johnson, was present as Gilbertson handed the plaque to Everett Johnson, who has been instrumental in keeping the tourna-

ment going each year, and also present was Loren Berge who has played an important role in the tournament as well.

It is only fitting that the induction ceremony took place during the weekend of the tournament on Saturday, July 1, 2017, and took place at the Whalan ballfield.

Woodworking hobby keeps Chuck and Brad Sikkink busy hannah@fillmorecountyjournal.com

When Chuck Sikkink sold his farm and moved into Harmony in 2005, he joined the Harmony Ambulance Service as an EMT. Being on call meant that he had to stay near home, so he started woodworking as a hobby to occupy his time.

At first, his son Brad teased him about his new hobby, but eventually he became inter-

Despite the popularity of their products, Chuck and Brad are not interested in turning it into a full-time job.

ested in it as well. In the summer of 2012, he started woodworking with his dad, and in 2013, the pair did their first craft show together.

Neither Chuck nor Brad originally started out with the intention of selling their designs, but before long friends and family were asking the father-son duo to make things for them. They, in turn, told their friends about the Sikkinks’ woodworking skills and slowly, the word

Preston City Hall renovation nears completion

By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com

At the July 5 meeting of the Preston City Council, the last two portions of the city hall project were discussed.

City Administrator Joe Hoffman suggested a committee be formed to consider a number of options for the sign in front of city hall.

Hoffman suggested that the committee include Mayor Kurt Reicks, himself, Gabby Kinneberg, and another council

member. Charles Sparks volunteered to join the committee. Hoffman said he has been working with Mike Kelly on ideas.

The other remaining project is the replacement of the sidewalk ramp under the canopy.

Hoffman said Legends Concrete had submitted a quote in the amount of $5,319. Councilman Robert Maust felt the quote was too high. Bakke Concrete was asked for a quote See RENOVATION Page 9 

in the tournament has dropped dramatically, but that does not dampen the spirits of those who love the game, the history of the tournament and the town of Whalan.

This year there were four teams entered into the tournament: the Ostrander team, the Lake Crystal Hettingers team, the St. Charles Game Cocks, and the Preston team.

Bruce Mensink started playing in the tournament in its second year of existence and was in the

crowd this year watching his son Ben, 37, play second base for the Ostrander team.

Mensink says the tournament was “by far the best tournament I ever played in all the years I played” fastpitch. “If you ask anybody that played fastpitch softball in southeastern Minnesota they would tell you that the Whalan tournament was their favorite” of any tournaments they entered.

Denny King used to play in the tournament on the Ostrander Plumbing and Heating team and he was on hand at this year’s tournament watching his son

Luke, 21, play third base and his grandson, Brody, now plays t-ball so it may not be long before they will have a third generation player in the Whalan Lutheran Church Men’s Fastpitch Tournament.

Denny says the tournament is a unique thing that everyone enjoys and the players like the short fence because “everyone has a chance to hit a homerun here.”

Jim Sovereign from Cresco, Iowa, played in the tournament for many years as a pitcher. Gilbertson says of Sovereign, “He had a change-up that was unhittable,” for even the best hitters.

Sovereign reminisced about the Whalan tournament, saying, “It was one we always brought the kids to and they looked forward to it” each year.

Doug Wolford of Avon, Minn., who used to play in the tournament with the Ostrander team says one thing that makes the tournament special is “the fact that it’s all one field” so you have the teams that just finished playing, the teams that are currently playing and the teams that will be playing next all there along with all of their fans.

Everett Johnson was proud to accept the plaque from the Hall of Fame saying it is really an honor for the tournament to be included in the Minnesota Sports Hall of Fame.

There are only three other members of the Minnesota Sports Hall of Fame in the area, which include Gene Johnson, Jim Mor-

C ommentary Common ground

By Dr. Bryan Van Gorp Rushford, MN Common ground is difficult to establish without a shared vision of reality. Who wants to find common ground with alternative facts, science deniers, liars and those who would trample the Dr. Bryan golden rule Van Gorp for a tax rebate. We cannot get past extreme polarization unless we find some core values that define what is good and true that we agree on. If we cannot agree that facts matter in our public discourse, we are lost.

In terms of defining what is true we have traditionally used logic and science. Science is a study method which opens itself to criticism and scrutiny with an intent to understand, not to be confused with technology. (Technology is creating products based on scientific knowledge that can be marketed.) Both the extreme right and the left can be science deniers. There are climate science deniers and anti vaccine campaigners. This is not to imply moral equivalency, one is more destructive than the other.

To define what is good we use the golden rule; treat others the way you want to be treated. Throughout history, most cultures and religions embrace this standard. People we admire embrace this rule. If we believe the golden rule, we want everyone to have equal access to justice, healthcare, education, Editorial Cartoon

housing and a living wage job.

There are failings on both the right and the left. One side defines people with less material “success” as lazy and stupid while the other side blames society for every poor decision.

Again no moral equivalency, one is more cruel than the other. We all know that who you are born to, determining both genetics and environment is important, but so is personal accountability. Discounting either erodes credibility and makes finding common ground difficult.

We all understand fairness.

It is the basis for most law and what the golden rule addresses.

If people are not treated fairly whatever the reason (country of origin, race, religion, sexual preference, income, status, occupation) there will be anger and frustration. Common ground will be hard to find.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts. Opinions not consistent with the facts are wrong.

Allowing both sides equal voice is not fair and balanced if one side is incorrect or is lying.

Treating knowledge and lack of understanding as equals undermines the good intent necessary to establish common ground.

When 1% of the population gets all the new wealth and the other 99% does the work, it amounts to a predator-prey relationship. Low wage workers subsidize all of us with lower cost goods. They especially subsidize business owners by increasing profits. The working poor are the biggest philanthropists of our society.

Quit believing that billion-

aires have your best interest at heart. Most of them got to be billionaires by preying on people like you. A predator-prey relationship is not conducive to common ground.

At some point, the problem ceases to be the ignorant and dishonest leaders and becomes the responsibility of those who vote for them and make excuses for them.

Free speech of all perspectives, as opposed to speech designed to incite violence or yelling fire in a crowded theater, must be protected. Free speech problems are best solved through open debate; more free speech. Let opinions and ideas stand or fail based on their merit in public discourse. The right to peaceful protest must also be zealously protected. If people do not feel heard they will become violent. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”

John F. Kennedy.

Obviously people with more wealth and power have more opportunities to impact things and therefore, more responsibility. Most of the welfare in this country goes to large corporations and the wealthiest people. They receive tax breaks, subsidies, charge excessively for government contracts, off shore profits, and get us to subsidize their poorly paid workers via food stamps, medical assistance.

The rich are the ultimate welfare queens.

Why do we think business people will solve social problems? Their focus is not the common good, they are interested in profits and wealth accumulation.

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”

Mother Teresa.

Why lie?

By Donna Buckbee Rushford, MN Starting from when I was in grade school, every weekday night my father and I would read the Minneapolis Tribune together and watch the nightly news, both national Donna Buckbee and local.

This quality time is one of my most cherished memories.

After taking in the news we would discuss the highlights. My father let me know I was expected to have an informed opinion and defend that opinion in a rational way.

I joke that many people who know me today wish he had raised me differently! But here I am.

I still remember some of our discussions: The botched execution of Ethel Rosenberg; thalidomide babies and abortion; the Eichmann trial and death sentence; the Algerians overthrowing French colonial rule and how de Gaulle ordered the removal of even the telegraph wires and poles from Algeria, to which my father responded, “Jeeze, de Gaulle, you cheap tightwad!”

All my life I have maintained the effort to learn what was happening in the world. And I respect the people who work to make this knowledge possible — reporters and journalists. Sometimes these reporters got it wrong, like the early Gulf of Tonkin reporting that led to our escalation in Vietnam. Or the reports of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction or his supposed connection to 9-11 justifying the invasion of Iraq.

Yet it was other reporters who struggled to correct the lies and disinformation and some of them lost their lives to bring the truth.

That is why, today, I do not understand the outright gleeful disparagement of journalists and the news. People are acting as if it is so much fun to lie. So much fun to threaten to hurt — or actually hurt — reporters. People delight in this. Maybe this is easier than putting in the time and effort to try to learn the truth. So much easier not to have to defend an opinion in a rational way.

Decades ago I knew a man who everyone knew to be a path-

ological liar. He lied even when it didn’t help him in any way, except to maybe feel superior to those he lied to. This man killed himself when he was in his thirties. A few days prior to suicide he went to his estranged wife to apologize for how all his lies had hurt her. Apparently, he had hurt himself, too. He told his wife he could no longer distinguish what actually had happened in his life and what was just another lie.

“I have lost my life already,” he lamented.

I fear that we as a people are losing our lives. We have always struggled with the truth — about slavery, wars, poverty, environmental destruction. At least we had struggled. Nowadays it seems we delight in lies, even when lies don’t help us except to make us feel superior to those we lie to.

On a mountain pass in the state of Maryland there is a monument dedicated to all the journalists who lost their lives around the world trying to report the truth. I don’t think most of these men and women thought the search for truth was just a big joke.

C ommentary Rules of (online) engagement

By Eric Lee Harmony, MN Here I am, writing, as the 4th of July approaches. I want to talk about one of my favorite things.

Civil political debate. I love it. I love this country, and I love exploring where we might take it into the Eric Lee future. This sometimes gets me into trouble, because I even enjoy it online, on social media. And this can be, well, difficult. But I have engaged, online, and I have survived, and I think I have developed some rules that have worked for me, and I want to share them with you. Because I want to see us all having productive, constructive discussions to propel us into the future. Many of these will work in real, live, face to face discussion, as well. You’ll have to decide which ones.

OK, so you are ready to venture into an online discussion.

First rule: Don’t. Just walk away.

If you’re like me, that’s not going to happen, so we’ll start over. You probably came to this because you saw something you disagreed with, and just had to make things right.

We’ll just assume that your intentions are pure, and that you want to impart knowledge, and not simply troll folks.

First: You might be a little heated from whatever it was you saw. Take a breath. Imagine the person you are speaking with.

Imagine that they are a caring person, genuinely interested in a common good, just like you.

Now you are about ready to respond.

Second: What is your goal? Is it to change minds? Because if it is, again, just walk away. This was key to me enjoying online debate again. There is no winning.

Third: If you are ready to continue now, then form your point. What do you want to be understood? Prepare to make that point. Make it clearly, concisely, forcefully, but politely.

Fourth: Listen. Listen to what the other person is saying. Are they responding to you? Is there something you can learn of your own ideas in their responses? If they move to attacks, then reasonably defend your position.

Fifth: In case of unreasonable attacks, be ready to walk away.

Always be ready to walk away.

There are a lot of people who just want to see you blow up.

Don’t give them that pleasure.

Now, when the other person clearly isn’t responding to you, wish them a good day, and carry about your business. If they are trying to get you off your game, this is a great way to drive them crazy.

Sixth: This is a great chance to explore your own beliefs and ideas. By sharing them, and hav-

Our staff at the Fillmore County Journal would like to take a moment to thank our readers and our advertisers for their support, participation, and sense of ownership of this publication.

Without the support of our advertisers, we could not provide meaningful coverage of city council, county board, and school board meetings. We also could not provide free obituaries, along with free birth, engagement, wedding, and military service announcements. Without the support of our advertisers, there would be no sports section, and no recognition of the accomplishments of our youth. And, we wouldn't be able to provide all of the great human interest stories that capture the interests and hearts of our readers.

And, we thank our readers for not only supporting this publication by reading the newspaper cover-to-cover each week, but for also supporting the businesses that advertise in this publication.

There is a symbiotic relationship between our advertisers and our readers, for which we are grateful.

Our team at the

ing someone push back, you will be better able to understand your own ideas. This becomes much easier to do, once you have let go of the idea of winning, and simply see where listening and responding takes you.

Seventh: If this is happening on social media, then it is possible that others will see the arguments you make, so be aware, not just of the person you are talking to, but also how you wish to be perceived by newcomers.

This does wonders for keeping my tone civil, because again, I imagine, “What would I think of this person (me) if I were just tuning into this discussion?” I want to let people know that I am thoughtful and considerate. Sometimes, I will engage in a debate because I know that someone out there may be hurt by words that were said, and I want them to know that I am here with them, and to stand up for them.

If you’ve made it this far, then congratulations on engaging in constructive debate. The two things that helped me the most were to listen and to let go of winning. I have been so much more free to enjoy discussion, since realizing I am highly unlikely to change minds, particularly the one I’ve set out to.

So please, use these rules wisely for your debate enjoyment.

Engage passionately. You may even get angry, and that’s okay.

That happens when you care, and what could be better than arguing for something you care about. Hope you had a Happy 4th!

Encourage good media

By Lee Hamilton I’ll be the first to admit that when it comes to journalism, I’m a traditionalist. Old-fashioned, even.

But I don’t think it’s a coincidence that even while confidence in the media drops to new lows Lee H. and Time Hamilton magazine feels moved to wonder “Is Truth Dead?” on its cover, huge numbers of Americans have come to believe the media is not as authoritative as it once was.

Straightforward, responsible journalism is an indispensable public asset, a cornerstone of democratic life. This is threatened by the trends reshaping the media landscape. With less consensus around information and data, the cohesiveness of our society is diminished.

I’m not just talking about the rise of deliberately “reported” misinformation and disinformation. Some news outlets may not be as egregiously destructive of democratic values, but their urge to chase viewership and clicks at the expense of solid, fact-based reporting is doing us no favors.

Indeed, I think a lot of people want what I do and feel they’re not getting it: more facts and fewer opinions; more investigative reporters and fewer pundits; more substance and less fluff; more policy exploration and less politics; more respect for consumers and fewer efforts to manipulate them.

Is it really behind the times to expect journalists to seek accuracy above all? To pay attention to fairness? To strive to keep government honest and the voters informed? To check facts, use multiple sources, and welcome rigorous editing? I don’t think so.

Nor do I believe that infusing the news with a political agenda serves our society or news consumers. There may be no such thing as absolute objectivity, but you can sure strive to get as close as possible. Some news organizations do this. Too many don’t.

This is not to say that editorializing and expressing opinion have no place in journalism. But opinions should be separated from reporting. Too many journalists want to be pundits and not reporters. I’ve had any number tell me they’re in the business to express their own opinion rather than report the truth. When I turn on the television and find five or six pundits vociferously sharing their views, it’s diverting, but in the end I’m not that interested

in what they think. I’d rather have someone tell me the facts so that I can form my own opinions.

In a media world in which opinion serves as the chief currency, rather than straightahead reporting of hard truths, politicians face less scrutiny of their statements and less accountability. They are succeeding at manipulating the media by using Twitter, refusing to hold press conferences, restricting questions and cameras, employing set speeches, and refusing to conduct a freewheeling discussion of their opinions in front of the press.

The result is that significant policy decisions affecting millions of Americans are being drawn up with less scrutiny and promoted as beneficial without the clarifying debate that a representative democracy depends upon. Without it, we know less about our officials and legislators, what they think about the issues and what they do.

The picture is not entirely bleak. We are fortunate to retain a number of high-quality news organizations with firstrate reporters. The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Financial Times, The Economist, CNN, PBS, ProPublica, Politico, and other news organizations continue to dig deep and uphold high journalistic standards even in the face of the tsunami of media disruption that has taken place over the past decade. They and others have stepped up their games in recent months, partly in response to citizens desperate for hard-nosed and accurate reporting. And where they’ve gone astray, they’ve usually owned up to it quickly.

This is crucial, because we live in an era when solid reporting rooted in high standards of accuracy is not just a goal, but a vital, small-d democratic necessity. As consumers of news, we need to encourage the media to undertake it and hold its members to account when they stray. And we need to shoulder our responsibility for helping news organizations improve. After all, we’re the ones who turn to fluff rather than substance and consume only stories that reflect our own perspectives. As citizens, we need to step up our own game, too.

Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar, IU School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice, IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

C ommentary One Moment, Please...

and not picking it up. I’m sure I’m not alone. I think the majority of people look at that debris and think that since they didn’t toss it on the ground then they shouldn’t have to pick it up. And, that’s a pretty natural thought process. But, if all of us take ownership in the presentation of our community, then think of how refreshingly neat and clean our surroundings may appear to ourselves and our guests. As my wife says when we are cleaning our house from top to bottom, “a clean house is a happy house.”

Maybe a clean community is a happy community. I’d like to think so.

The alternative is that nobody cares, and we leave garbage wherever we see it. I don’t think we want to live that way. I’ve visited filthy communities over the years — communities where nobody cares. And, what happens is that the accumulation of debris grants permission for more of the same.

The streets begin to look like emptied dumpsters.

And, the beauty of Steve Rowland’s actions is that he encourages others to think about doing their part without necessarily saying a single word about it. As you are picking up some litter to keep the streets clean, others are watching.

What will you do the next time you see some litter on the sidewalk? Will you keep walking and assume the next person will pick it up?

Adopt-a-Sidewalk?

By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com A couple of weeks ago, I was standing in Root River State Bank in Chatfield, preparing for a meeting with soon-to-beretired Diane Meeker and recently hired Teresa Narveson.

President and CEO Jason Sethre Chuck Johnson, Jr., had requested my help with recognizing both of these individuals in upcoming issues of the Fillmore County Journal.

As with most community banks, while you stand in the lobby, you’ll need people coming and going, conducting business as usual.

There was one banking customer who caught my attention.

Many Chatfield residents know Steve Rowland, president and owner of Rowland Well Co. As Steve was walking from his vehicle to the front entrance of the bank, he stopped for a second to pick up a styrofoam coffee cup that was crushed and laying on the sidewalk. Without hesitation, he picked up the litter and found

a nearby garbage receptacle.

It made me pause for a moment and think about a commentary I wrote about the Adopt-a-Highway program and cleaning up our sponsored section of Highway 52 between Preston and Harmony.

The Adopt-a-Highway program, with signs appearing every couple miles on many stretches of highways throughout the entire United States of America, becomes a constant reminder to motorists to refrain for littering upon the shoulders of Mother Nature.

But, who is responsible in our cities? There are no signs to remind us to keep our communities clean.

As far as I could see, Steve Rowland wasn’t in charge of picking up debris that particular day, but he did it anyways.

That’s because I’m guessing Steve takes pride in keeping his community clean. I’ve chatted with Steve on numerous occasions, and he is a tremendous advocate for the City of Chatfield. He helps out with the Western Days events on many levels. You might say that Steve Rowland is “Mr. Chatfield.” It’s his community, and he supports it any way he can.

I know I’ve been guilty of walking by debris on the sidewalk

The Sweet Stop and Sandwich Shoppe in Preston changes ownership

Brenda Lloyd and her fiance Mike Eickhoff are excited to be The new owners of the Sweet Stop and Sandwich Shoppe.

Photo by Hannah Wingert

By Hannah Wingert When Brenda Lloyd started working at The Sweet Stop and Sandwich Shoppe in Preston four years ago, she never dreamed that she would one day own it.

Lloyd is originally from Iowa, but she now lives outside of Wykoff with her fiance Mike Eickhoff and their three kids, Tiana (18), Zachary (15), and Kirah (8). “I’ve just always been drawn to Minnesota,” she said.

“I’m a transplant, but I think I’ve planted very well.”

Current owner Joanne Szuch first started toying with the idea of selling the restaurant about four years ago. At one point, she had a buyer, but the sale fell through. So, she put it on

the back burner and kept going.

After the original buyer cancelled the sale, Lloyd expressed an interest in purchasing the restaurant if and when Szuch decided to try to sell it again.

The summer of 2016 was a turning point for Szuch. “It burned me out,” she said. She was definitely ready to be done so in December of last year, she asked Lloyd if she was still interested. When she said yes, Szuch informed her that she was ready to sell and wanted to give her the option of buying it before anyone else.

Lloyd jumped at the chance, and things began moving quickly. “I didn’t think it would happen for a few more years,” she

Joanne Szuch welcomes Brenda Lloyd as the new owner of the Sweet Stop and Sandwich Shoppe.

Photo by Hannah Wingert admitted. “But everything just kind of fell into place.”

Szuch offered to stay on as an employee to help Lloyd with the transition to owner and Lloyd accepted. “I’ll get all of the fun and none of the stress,” Szuch laughed. She’s looking forward to having several days a week off along with winters.

Szuch is confident in Lloyd’s capability to run The Sweet Stop and Sandwich Shoppe. “She knows how brutal it can be (to own a business),” Szuch said. “I would never sell this restaurant to someone without giving them all the information because I want them to succeed. I’ve worked too hard on this place to watch it fail.”

“I’m a little bit nervous, but very excited,” Lloyd laughed.

However, she’s ready for the challenge of running her own restaurant. Szuch has entrusted her with it when she’s been on vacation and Lloyd knows the place like the back of her hand. She’s also familiar with the customers, a plus in a small community like Preston.

Lloyd has no plans to change the menu at the restaurant. She will continue to serve sandwiches, cake, cheesecake, cookies, homemade soups, salads, and more. “I want to kind of keep everything the same,” she said. “Don’t fix it if it’s not broken!”

Lloyd’s whole family will be getting in on the restaurant. Her

fiance will work there on the weekends and during the winter months, and her daughter Tiana already has plans to work at the shop this summer. Eight-yearold Kirah will accompany her mom to the restaurant on occasion and likes to help out by washing the tables.

Ownership officially passed from Szuch to Lloyd on July 1, and Lloyd hosted an unofficial open house at The Sweet Stop that day to celebrate. Her whole family, including her parents were there to celebrate and meet many of the Sweet Stop’s customers.

The hours for The Sweet Stop and Sandwich Shoppe will remain the same. Monday through Friday it’s open from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

On Saturdays it’s open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays. During the winter months, it will be closed on Sundays, open 7:30 a.m. through 6 p.m. on weekdays and 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

Fountain considers revamping ordinance code

By Kirsten Zoellner At the Wednesday, July 5 meeting, Fountain City Clerk Ronda Flattum proposed the idea of the city utilizing the Minnesota Livable City Code (LCC). Established just this year, the code is especially suited to cities with a population under 500. Based on the Minnesota Basic Code, utilized by hundreds of Minnesota municipalities, this new code includes provisions specifically applicable to small cities. Written by the League of Minnesota Cities, it is noted by the league that this code is intended to be adopted without modification.

The City of Fountain has been issued a sampling of the LLC and has 60 days in which to review it. “We should look at amending some ordinances,” noted Flattum at the meeting. The council was invited to review the sampling prior to the next council meeting. In the meantime, Flattum will talk with other cities currently using the LLC to gather the pros and cons of it, from their perspective.

Related to ordinances, Flattum and Public Works Employee John Hanson recently did a tour around the city to record properties which appear to be in violation of city ordinances and presented a lengthy list to the council for review. “They’re not up to snuff with regular ordinances,” said Hanson. “I didn’t

know how in depth you wanted me to go though.”

It was determined that a generic letter would be mailed to all city property owners to remind them of city ordinances on items such as debris, vehicles, and more. The letter will be presented at the August council meeting for council review, prior to mailing.

In other news, the city is closer to finding a solution to its policing needs. Having met with Fillmore County Sheriff Tom Kaase, Councilor Jim Schott and Fountain Police Chief Tom Mosher indicating things are progressing well. Mosher is retiring later this year and the city is considering a contemporary contract with the Sheriff’s Department in lieu of continuing to maintain its own one-man police force.

“I’ve been after him to write something up for a contract,” said Mosher. “A working contract is now in place, but all contracts are at the attorney’s office for review. It looks pretty generic, but everything is furnished as part of the contract.

I’m hoping by the next meeting, he’ll have a contract written up for Fountain.”

The city has opted to retain its police cruiser, whatever its final policing needs. It was noted that if a one-year contract with the county is later determined as not best for the city, the cruiser

could be put back in service by the city. If a county contract is successful for the city, the vehicle may be sold.

The status of the wastewater treatment plant is compliant for the month. Numbers were a “little high” last month, according to Rick Whitney of PeopleServe, the firm assisting the city in getting the plant in continued compliance with the state. “We’re going to be doing some additional sampling to make sure it’s according to plan.”

“It’s good news,” noted Mayor Richard Kujath. “It’s been a sore spot for a number of years. We were all beginning to think it wouldn’t work.”

Plans are underway for the 2018 city budget. Clerk Flattum questioned if the city wanted Request for Proposals prior to looking in depth at the budget planning. “Get bids. You’re not hurting anything by getting them,” suggested Councilor Jim Schott. It was determined that road work on First Street and Oak Street, as well as garbage service and legal counsel should all be bid. The council will meet Thursday, August 24, at 7 p.m. to further discuss the budget.

The council also discussed a number of smaller items at the meeting. Included were hiring Norby Tree Service to trim trees along the street right of way,

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. recovering of two well house roofs, landscaping around the Fountain sign, a lifetime pet license, and painting in the community center.

The Norby estimate of 8-9 hours of work, at $175 per hour was considered by the council, but ultimately put on hold until funds can be saved. The council intends to look at doing the work, which includes removal of ash trees, in 2018. In the meantime, John Hanson will trim back as many areas as he can. Clerk Flattum suggested that the city consider a tree maintenance fund, similar to other municipalities. “It’s something the council needs to think about; to set funds aside every year to keep trees healthy.”

The two well houses will be reroofed in steel by Rodney Reichstadt Construction, following his proposal to the city.

The cost is $4,110 and the amount has been planned for

the last two budget cycles.

Public Works has been attempting to get a handle on excessive weeds and a landscape planting around the Fountain sign just off Highway 52. Several shrubs have died and weeds are coming through the weed barrier under the rock. Estimates for new landscaping will be sought by the city.

Walls in the community center are displaying a streaking, according to a complaint, and the city will be contracting with Mike Fenske to have them repainted. The back room will be done first, due to a wedding event scheduled at the center on July 29. The council agreed both rooms would be repainted a light gray. The cost for the work is $2,000.

The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Wednesday, August 2, at 7:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

SIKKINK HOBBY Continued from Page 1

they would have to do a lot of traveling to craft shows. They prefer to keep their woodworking as a hobby, not a business.

Chuck and Brad each have their own specialities when it comes to woodworking. Chuck likes to work with finished oak, making things such as doll beds and houses, play barns, kids’ furniture, and wine racks with it.

Brad prefers rustic barnwood, recycled lumber and other such types of wood, using it to build furniture, shelves, wooden flags,

etc. “I try to keep up with the trends,” he said.

Many of the projects that the Sikkinks do are custom orders.

Brad recounted how just that day, he had had three people approach him at work asking him to make things for them.

He recently finished an order of 12 wooden flags that someone had ordered as gifts for his groomsmen and ushers for his wedding. He and his dad have also made things such as yard dice, full size bunk beds with built in stairs, and more. “We do have to say no occasionally,” Brad said of the requests they’ve received, adding that while they

do try to accommodate people, there are times when they just aren’t able to take on a specific job.

During the summer, requests usually slow down to just a few a month and then pick back up when it gets closer to Christmas as people start buying gifts. In

addition to filling custom orders, Chuck and Brad continue to do several craft shows a year, which means that they usually have some stock on hand.

Chuck and Brad recently purchased a CNC machine which will allow them to laser engrave or router words and pictures

onto their projects. Brad is planning to learn how to use the machine this fall, which will open up more opportunities for personalization.

socialscenes A View From The Woods

By Loni Kemp ©SallyKeating2011

A cool family reunion Folks are converging from all over the nation for our 17th biennual reunion, which alternates every two years between Colorado and Minnesota. This year we are the hosts, so we are prepared with room assignments, designated food buyers, and sign-up sheets for meal preparation and

cleanup. We head over to Cedar Valley Resort in Whalan, which hosted us four years ago, and find everything perfectly ready for the 37 attendees. Everyone seems to love Big Timber

Pasta Carbonara with Peas

Peas are ready to harvest in my garden now, so it is time to eat them as soon as I shell them, with pasta. Serves 3-4.

Bring a large pot of water to boil with a tablespoon of salt. Add 8 ounces linguini or spaghetti pasta and cook according to the package, until “al dente.” Add one cup of shelled peas for the last minute or two.

Meanwhile, dice 4 ounces of bacon and cook in a little oil in a skillet large enough to hold the pasta. When lightly browned, add pepper and take off the heat, keeping the fat.

Scoop out a cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and peas.

Reheat the bacon, then whisk a couple of tablespoons pasta water into the fat and bacon in the skillet to emulsify it. Whisk some of that warm mixture into one egg beaten in a small bowl, then whisk the egg mixture into the skillet. (This step tempers the egg so you don’t get scrambled eggs.)

Dump in pasta and peas, a handful of pea tendrils from your pea vines if you have them, and one cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Toss everything quickly to blend, and add a bit more of the pasta water until you have a creamy sauce clinging to the noodles. Serve immediately.

Lodge, where we have many sleeping options with space to prepare and eat meals together. Two living rooms and two long decks outside allow smaller groups to chat and play games.

We are descendants (and spouses) of my husband’s mother, ranging from little babies to our remaining matriarch, Great Aunt Jane, who is a cheerful and appreciated presence at age 90. Cousins who played together when they were young 60 years ago now enjoy seeing our adult children renew friendships with their second cousins, while seven children of the fourth generation establish new bonds and memories.

The weather is unusually cool for June, but the rain mostly holds off, and small groups bravely set out on canoe trips, hikes along the Root River Trail, bike rides and long playground sessions. It turns out that a little rain doesn’t hurt anything.

The last afternoon, everyone makes the drive down to our place, and we all relish the sunshine and warmth that finally appear. I love touring around the garden with folks, some of whom have never seen how asparagus grows or what a tall bush loaded with unripe blueberries looks like. I encourage tasting of sugar snap peas and ripe pie cherries, which various birds are stealing as they flit around the top of the tree.

Of course, we have the required taking of family pictures, with every possible grouping of families and generations, culminating in a large group shot. Laughter ensues as we all try to say cheese simultaneously, the baby crawls away, or a missing person is hunted down.

We had set out tables throughout the garden for dinner, and the long June evening allows for lingering conversations and a campfire as the sun sets.

The following morning back at the resort, it is our last time together, and there is much scurrying around to pack up leftover foods and track down belongings. Long goodbyes are a habit of this extended family, and each departure entails a discussion of driving routes, extra touring around, or planes to catch.

For 32 years, our family has both diminished and grown.

Our elders are passing away while our grandchildren are appearing. Family reunions can be fun times, but it is the personal experience of the circle of life that keeps us coming.

Highway 139 resurfacing to start July 10

Harmony area residents hear details on the upcoming Highway 139 project.

Photo by Rich Wicks

By Rich Wicks The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) held an open house on June 29 at the Harmony Community Center, to discuss the upcoming Highway 139 resurfacing project. Approximately 30 people attended, and they heard from Jeff Bunch (MnDOT Construction), Anne Meyer (MnDOT Communications) and Sam Costigan (Rochester Sand & Gravel). The event started with opening remarks by Jeff Bunch, who gave an overall summary of the project, which will be a “mill and overlay,” placing 3 1/2 inches of new pavement on driving lanes.

Bunch shared that the proj-

ect is slated to begin July 10, and be completed sometime in August, after a scheduled 30 working days (weather permitting). The resurfacing will be done on 3.9 miles of Highway 139, from the Iowa/Minnesota border to Highway 52 in Harmony, at a projected cost of $1.9 million. The project will also include ADA improvements in Harmony, including curb ramps and upgrading some sidewalks.

According to Bunch, one of the main concerns is “individual access,” and he explained, “We are required to keep access, as best we can. It’s something we take very seriously.” Bunch explained that

this concept applies both to vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

He said when sidewalks have to be closed off temporarily, it will be as brief as possible, and homeowners/business owners are welcome to talk with project staff about which days are preferable.

Regarding vehicular traffic, Sam Costigan added, “There will be no detours, so you’ll always have access.” He explained that the roadway will have sections that are one-lane-only at times, and will be controlled by flaggers or signs. He also shared that, “We won’t leave dropoffs,” meaning that the crew will leave the roadway in a reasonable drivable state at the end of each work day. When asked if the crew will work only Mondays through Fridays, Costigan replied, “We will work two or three Saturdays.”

The project will increase the width of the lanes, from the current width of 12 feet, to 14 feet. There will be one culvert replacement, where Highway 139 intersects with County Road 30.

Dunn Blacktop Company is the prime contractor for the project, and anyone interested in email updates on the project status is encouraged to sign up at the website: mndot.gov/d6/projects/hwy139resurfacing/index.html.

Critical Red Cross blood shortage prompts emergency call for donations Give blood or platelets now and help save lives The American Red Cross is facing a critical blood shortage and is issuing an emergency call for eligible blood and platelet donors of all blood types to give now and help save lives.

Blood donations have fallen short of expectations for the past two months, resulting in about 61,000 fewer donations than needed and causing a significant draw down of the Red Cross blood supply. The shortfall is the equivalent of the Red Cross not collecting any blood donations for more than four days.

“It’s crucial that people donate

now to meet the needs of patients every day and to be prepared for emergencies that require significant volumes of donated blood,” said Sue Thesenga, communications manager of the North Central Blood Services Region. “Every day, blood and platelet donors can help save lives, and right now these heroes are needed to give as soon as possible.”

How to help To schedule an appointment to donate, use the free Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1 (800) RED CROSS (1 (800) 733-2767). The Red Cross

has added more than 25,000 additional appointment slots at donation centers and community blood drives across the country over the next few weeks to accommodate more donors. Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce the time it takes to donate.

Summer months lead to shortage Blood shortages often worsen around Independence Day due to many fewer volunteer-hosted blood drives at places of work, worship or community gathering, and this year is no exception.

Nearly 700 fewer blood drives are scheduled during the Independence Day week than the weeks before and after the holiday.

Overall, the summer months are among the most challenging times of the year for blood and platelet donations as regular donors delay giving while they vacation and participate in summer activities. In a recent survey of Red Cross blood donors, more than 73% indicated vacation plans this summer, many of them occurring the weeks before and after Independence Day. New donors and those who haven’t given in a while are especially encouraged to roll up a sleeve and help save lives. Nearly one-third fewer new blood donors came out to give last

disease. The Red Cross must collect nearly 14,000 blood donations every day for patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals across the country.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities • July 11 - Harmony 1-7 p.m., Community Center, 225 Third Ave. SW. • July 12 - Chatfield 1-7 p.m., United Methodist Church 124 Winona E. St. • July 12 - Lanesboro 1-7 p.m., Community Hall, 202 Parkway.

summer than during the rest of the year due in part to schools – where blood drives are held and where new donors give – being out of session during the summer months.

By Kirsten Zoellner The city has been working to find a solution to the repair of the dam for more than a decade, but has been hampered by federal historic preservation guidelines. A 2014 Department of Natural Resources inspection of the dam revealed the 1868 hydroelectric structure was degrading more quickly than anticipated. National Inventory of Dams designates it as a Class 1 High-Hazard dam, indicating that failure could likely lead to loss of human life. However, due to age and historic classification, the dam needs to be repaired to specific standards.

Midwest still functioning. It was constructed using Dolomite, milled from the hills around the city, and reconstruction guidelines indicate it must be repaired using natural stone matching the original stone. A boon to the city’s larger tourism appeal, the community has strived to find a solution.

The frustrating process has strained the city as a rural development loan was considered, Federal Emergency Management Agency was hoped for, then denied, and funding in a legislative bonding bill was cut short when the governor vetoed the bill. The lucky break came this year when the $4 million dam project was included in the bonding bill passed during the

2017 special session.

Now, the city has entered into a new agreement with Wisconsin-based engineering firm, Ayers Associates. The agreement terminates an earlier three-party agreement between the city, Ayers Associates, and the US Department of Agriculture.

“We’re trying to be smart about it,” said Lanesboro City Administrator/Clerk Michele Peterson at the Monday, July 3 council meeting. “We will have to look at a few things regarding the channel.”

The current plan is to bid out the project in January 2018 and begin construction in the midSeptember 2018, when water is naturally at its lowest seasonal point.

cautioned loss of service and loss of revenue if interest can’t be drummed up. “Weekends here are huge. We’re not like other towns.�

Currently Emergency Medical Responders and First Responders are required to get 60 hours of training time. For Emergency Medical Technicians that number increases to 140 hours or more.

The number of hours for both goes down if volunteers have existing medical training in their repertoire from their workplace, such as nurses. Benson acknowledged that the time commitment is likely a hindrance to finding volunteers willing to serve, but stressed the importance of the service. “The hours are intimidating, but with time, your comfort zone with it comes up.�

Volunteers used Gorilla tape to line the 20’x44’ courts inside the existing tennis courts, as the game is played on a court smaller than tennis courts. A few turns of the handle will lower the net to 34 inches for pickleball and then return the nets to the height for tennis.

Pickleball is very popular in Florida and Texas, but is getting to be more common in other areas of the country. John and Caroline Boll learned about the sport six years ago while in Arizona, and

are looking forward to teaching and playing it in Preston. The sport is senior citizen friendly, but also is a great family sport that can include parents and children. The game is a combination of tennis, badminton and ping-pong that is played hitting a whiffle ball back and forth with a paddle, in either singles or doubles competition.

John Boll, who initiated this proposal, will provide instruction on Monday, July 10 and Monday, July 17 beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Other volunteers will be continuing this community service on a weekly basis. Paddles and balls will be provided for initial classes. Boll is appreciative of the Preston Park Board allowing lines

to be placed on the tennis courts, which hopefully will allow even more use of the courts. The Bolls look forward to sharing their love of the game with many others, and hope you’ll join them in this fun game!

Angi Kaase, Fillmore County Community Eduation Director, is excited to see this additional use and hopes the to see this added as a sumemr program for next year. Maggie Walsh, physical education teacher at Fillmore Central Elementary School, already teaches pickleball to grade four to six students and had indoor courts in the school gym. Gabby Kinneberg, Preston tourism director, will post program information on the Preston television site, channel 4 on Mediacom cable.

Ask a Trooper

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: What can be done about an aging family member when their driving skills become d i m i n ished and it becomes a safety concern?

Troy H. A n s w e r : Christianson Older drivers in general are safe. As we age the risks behind the wheel increase with the possibility of declining cognitive, vision and physical abilities.

Older drivers are more likely to get killed or injured because they are more likely to be physically fragile and less able to

Page 27

recover from injuries. One out of every five traffic fatalities in Minnesota is a person age 65 or older.

There are a number of options that can be pursued.

As a family member, try to pay close attention to older family members’ driving skills.

Start the discussion of when to stop driving, and determine other transportation options.

Age alone cannot be considered a good cause for re-examination.

This can be a sensitive issue for many older drivers. Older drivers forced to stop driving may feel a lack of freedom, anger and may suffer from depression.

ASK A TROOPER Continued from Page 27

• Write and sign a letter to the Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services (DPS-DVS) outlining specific concerns. • DVS will contact the person and ask them to come in for an interview. • Based on the interview, the person can be requested to conduct a written and road test, submit a vision report, and/or submit a doctor’s statement verifying that they are physically qualified to drive within 30 days of the interview. • If no concerns arise during the interview or if the driver passes a road quiz and appears to be physically fine, they may not be required to do anything further to continue to drive. • If the person does not submit the requested statements or their vision/physical report is unsatisfactory, their driver’s license can be cancelled. • If the person is unable to pass the tests within the required time, their driver’s license is cancelled. • Talk to a family member’s physician to see if the doctor has noticed the same problems.

If so, ask the doctor to submit a request for a written/road test to DVS. If the physician sees the person is not physically

qualified to drive, the doctor can notify the department and DVS can cancel the driver’s privileges.

Law enforcement officers can also send a request for review to DVS if they identify a driver who they believe should either re-test or be checked by a doctor. In the end, DVS can allow the person to keep driving with increased limitations such as roadway speed, daylight only, certain times of the day or within a set limit of miles from his or her home. They can also require follow-up doctor’s exams.

Don’t be afraid to speak up if you are concerned about a loved one’s driving behavior. It could end up saving their life or another life on the road.

You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths.

Summer Rec kicked off the first Thing-A-Ma-Do Thursday event on June 15th at the Red Barn Learning Farm. The kids learned about all of the ingredients that go into making a pizza, from the crust to the very last topping. Not only did they get to visit the large variety of barnyard animals, but were able to pet and cuddle them too!

Dressing up, shopping at the farmers market, and learning what fruits and vegetables can grow in MN climate vs. pineapple in Hawaii were just some of the adventures of the trip!
