Rushford Municipal Airport Commission has received and rejected a bid for an airport fuel tank replacement and upgrade project. The lone bid for the estimated $240,000 project came in 25% higher than engineer’s projections. According to City Administrator Steve Sarvi, additional issues with the bid included items left out and timeline. Plans for the project called for a removal of the current 8,000 gallon above ground tank system and relocation of the system to include two 5,000-gallon tanks buried south of the airport office. This option allows the city to offer both low-lead aviation fuel and jet-A fuel, which is utilized
by helicopters, including those operating out of the airport. It was noted at the March council meeting that the Airport Commission believes burying the tanks will create better sight lines at the airport, allow for future expansion of either the office or hangers, and eliminates the need for paving for above ground tanks. The project had been bid in 2014, with the city attempting to seize an opportunity for federal and state funding. However, at that time, bids also came back exceeding engineers’ estimates and were rejected. In May, the city snagged a beneficial bit of funding for the project through a transfer agreeSee RUSHFORD Page 3
New mayor, old business take center stage at Whalan’s July council meeting By Steve H arris steve@fillmorecountyjournal.com
By Steve Harris The first official meeting of the Whalan City Council with its new mayor—Rory Berekvam—proceeded quickly and quietly on Monday, July 13, 2015, with the council attending to on-going street maintenance and pothole questions, along with approvals for current building projects in the town. Previous minutes and the Treasurer’s Report & Bills Due were presented and unanimously approved by the council.

Mayor Berekvam took the oath of office to fill out the remainder of Larry Johnson’s term that will go through 2016. Johnson resigned last month due to his family’s recent move to a new residence beyond Whalan’s town limits. Berekvam is not new to the position—he had previously served as Whalan’s mayor once before.

ment with Springfield, Minn. for Federal Airport Entitlement Funds resulting in $83,334 for the airport’s ongoing projects. The current project is to be funded federally 90%, 10% by the state, and 10% by the city. “Our money isn’t lost”, assured Sarvi to the council. The city will rebid the project in late winter 2015 or spring 2016. In the meantime, it will contract again with Rochester Petroleum to fix the fuel pump issue. In other news, the city has accepted the recommendation of the Economic Development Authority (EDA) to proceed with the sale of 1108 Miller Circle, in the Himlie Business Park, to Win-Tech Electronics. A joint public hearing with the council and EDA, to consider granting a business subsidy, is slated for July 27 during the regular council meeting. According to documentation, the proposed subsidy is in the form of financing the sale of the former community center building and site using certain incentives, payment plans, and conditions of the sale. Terms include selling the property, which was unfinished, “as is”, with Win-Tech being responsible for property improvements. Win-Tech must also agree to, “set and strive to attain certain goals for employment and setting time limits for
Monday, July 20, 2015
transactions to be enacted.” Additionally, the Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a public hearing at 5:45 p.m. July 27, at city hall, to consider the rezoning of certain business park parcels as part of the sale. The request is to rezone Lot 4, Blk 2: Lot 5, Blk 2: and Lot 6, Blk 2 from Arterial Commercial to Light Industrial. This will not only enable Win-Tech to use the proposed purchase site for light manufacturing, but will allow for expansion or creation of similar businesses in the park. Lots 1-3, Blk 2, will remain Arterial Commercial. The city has also accepted an EDA recommendation approv-
ing the Comprehensive Housing Needs Analysis prepared by Maxfield Research. In a presentation to the Planning Commission June 16, Mace Wescott, of Maxfield Research, presented findings. According to documentation, findings include the need for additional platted lots to meet single-family demand through 2025, highlighted as a demand for 33 single-family homes. Also noted was a demand for 20 units of multi-family housing, such as townhome or duplex, and demand for rental units. Discussion also included trends and strengths of the community, as well as the new school initiative
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
and the potential for conversion of the current school building into housing. The measure included approval of submittal for USDA RD Form 400, which will include Rushford in the Minnesota Housing Partnership (MHP) technical assistance funds grant application. MHP provides resources for housing and community development projects. Councilor Roger Colbenson has requested the council discuss pay of the council be placed on the agenda for discussed at the next council meeting. Rates and comparisons of neighboring municipalities will be gathered and presented. Colbenson argued that more qualified candidates may be apt to seek the council positions if the pay were higher. City Clerk/Treasurer Kathy Zacher noted that while some municipalities are paid more per meeting, their pay is a flat rate
Page 3
per year, while Rushford pays per meeting. “I also want to remind you, this comes from 100% taxpayer funds,” noted Zacher. Councilor Vern Bunke noted concern. “I’m not sure that extra money will be a primary motivator. If it is, is that a good thing?” The issue will be discussed further at the next meeting. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, July 27, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

C ommentary On a clear day I can seethe forever By Eric M. Leitzen Commuting is a way of life for folks in Southeastern Minnesota: whether it’s five miles or fifty, most of us drive to work. Now, as someone who spent his college years in Chicagoland, I can tell you that a Eric M. Leitzen fifty minute commute here in Bluff Country beats the pants off a fifty minute commute there, because whether you’re cruising the ridge on Highway 52 or hitting the curves of Highway 16, you’re going to see some gorgeous scenery on your way. Unfortunately, all of that scenery comes with a price, and you are keenly aware of that price when you hear the four ear-piercing staccato notes that tells you your cell phone’s call has been dropped. Again. I, like many of my age, have a cell phone. Unlike many my age, I use mine to make phone calls. I am the proud owner of a
non-smart “dumb phone”, and as such I use it to keep in touch. When my wife leaves for her own commute in the morning, our seven-month-old gurgling in the backseat, I like to talk to them on their way, but there’s a certain point where Sarah will come up next to a bluff and tell me “we’re about to hit that spot again” and almost immediately the call will drop. Less than a minute later, she’ll call back, letting me know triumphantly that she has switched towers. Now, it’s 2015: according to cinema, we’re supposed to have hoverboards, cybernetic implants, and even crazier things like World Series-champion Chicago Cubs. I don’t need any of that, mind you... I’d just like to not have six or seven “dead zones” on my morning commute where the cell phone signal pops in and out like a caffeinated groundhog. There was a time, mind you, when a President actually sent government contractors into under-served areas to connect them to the telephone, the cutting-edge tech of the era. Now, with cell phone kingpins ruling the roost, you pretty much
have to play by their rules. My brother’s phone, on a carrier that rhymes with Hay, Three and Gee, dies a sudden death mere yards from my house, and all I can do is shrug and say “This is the domain of the big, red V. Get used to it.” These cell phone companies have no profit motive to extend service, and why should they? We keep buying their phones because we need to, even if I’d never have the signal to call for help if my car plummeted into the Root River. It’s almost like the companies have made us an offer... we can’t refuse. There’s got to be a way we can fix this. We used to have the Tennessee Valley Authority, how about the Minnesota Valley Authority? Let’s get the same cell service in Whalan that they get in Washington, or maybe have those schlubs on Capitol Hill try to make a call down in the valley. At the very least, let’s make it so I don’t find myself cursing a clear, blue, beautiful Bluff Country sky, something I should be celebrating, because I just lost my wife’s call for the third time in five miles.

Minnesota adds 2,900 jobs in June Unemployment rate is 3.9 percent Minn. gained 2,900 jobs in June – a welcome reversal after employers cut 200 jobs in May, according to figures released today by the Minn. Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). The state’s unemployment rate was 3.9%, up 0.1% from May. The U.S. unemployment rate in June was 5.3%. The state has added 41,602 jobs since June 2014, a gain of 1.5%. U.S. job growth was 2.1% during the same period. “June marks the sixth anniversary of the official end of the ‘Great Recession’, and the economy is seeing continued positive change,” said DEED Commissioner Katie Clark Sieben. “For example, the state saw gains in June in construction that pushed the industry back above 110,000 jobs – a level we haven’t seen since July 2008.” Minn.’s labor force participation rate declined slightly in June for the first time in six months to 70.6%. Education and health services led all sectors in June with 3,200 jobs, followed by construction with 2,600 new jobs. Other industries that added jobs were professional and business services (up 200) and financial activities (up 100). Logging and mining held steady while six other sectors saw slight declines in June: manufacturing (down 800), trade, transportation and utilities (down 600), government (down 600), information (down 500), leisure and hospitality

(down 400), and other services (down 300). Seven of the state’s 11 major industrial sectors have added jobs in the past year, led by education and health services (up 11,529). That was followed by professional and business services (up 10,892), trade, transportation and utilities (up 10,579), leisure and hospitality (7,313), manufacturing (up 2,841), construction (up 1,103) and financial activities (up 599). Four sectors lost jobs in the last 12 months: government (down 2,031), other services (down 775), information (down 251), and logging and mining (down 197). In the Metropolitan Statistical Areas, the following regions gained jobs in the past 12 months: Minneapolis-St. Paul MSA (up 2.0%), DuluthSuperior MSA (up 1.5%) and Mankato MSA (up 1.0%). DEED has added a section to its website that examines the unemployment rate by demographics (race, age and gender) and looks at alternative measures of unemployment.

The curious case of the Loony Left SV80 says: Great post, LOLZ. You are so right. We don’t want another Bush to complete the destruction of the U.S. SV80 says: K. Wentworth: Thanks for helping me make my point. First of all, you have nothing here. Ivar Giaver is a physicist, not a climatologist. Even the American Physical Society, of which he was a member, disagreed with him. Ninety nine percent of climatologists agree we are experiencing global warming and that humans are a contributing factor. So why wouldn’t you go to the experts in the field? Give me three, just three, climatologists, not physicists or any other non-climatological scientists, who disagree with their fellows on global warming. Let me explain the silliness of your opinion in another way. If you had cancer, whom would you consult, a heart specialist (cardiologist) or a cancer specialist (oncologist)? Only an idiot would go to a cardiologist. But this is basically what you are doing---relying on a specialist in a field other than climatology. What sense does that make? As far as the claim that there has been no global warming in the last 17 years, that theory has been thoroughly debunked. See my previous posts on this. What makes you think you are smarter than the vast majority of climatologists? That kind of thinking makes you look foolish and arrogant. Unless you can do what I requested, you are wasting my time and yours. Give it up. But thanks again for helping me make my point. Your rants usually just provide me with more ammunition. Kim Wentworth says: @sv80- you defend the same people who said we were going to have an ice age in the 70’s / people that have a vested interest in an outcome will find ways to justify it. The Earth warms and cools, www.aproundtable.org/tps30info/globalwarmup.html A list for you- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List of_scientists_opposing_the...global warming You my little friend are on the fools side. Answer me this, why have the ice caps in both North and south pole increased (hugely) since 2008. you left wing nuts are really too much but keep pounding your head into the wall, its entertaining. Did you ever get back to me on an earlier question of mine.... ever ask the creator of the Weather Channel what he thought of all the climate change talk?? no you didn’t, I wonder why. SV80 says: To K. Wentworth: You are a typical right winger in that you ignore any argument or evidence that weakens or discredits yours. You will not get away with that with me. In my previous post I asked you to give me three, just three, objective climatologists who disagree with the overwhelming evidence cited by 99% of all global climatologists that there is climate change occurring and that man is contributing to it. Three are not enough to prove your point, but at least it would be a start. You ignored my request because you are unable to do that. If your position has any validity at all, surely you could find three objective climatologists, not beholden to a right wing organization, that could support your claim. I am tired of your childish, insulting temper tantrums and refuse to respond to any more of your posts until you can give me these three climatologists that I requested.

Chatfield to hire Superintendent of City Services By Karen Reisner After Tony Lammers announced his intention to retire, a hiring process started in late April. Councilors at their July 13 meeting voted unanimously to offer the Superintendent of City Services position to Brian Burkholder. Burkholder has been employed by the city for over eight years and, of late, has been the Water Superintendent. Tony Lammers has served the city for more than 31 years. His retirement is effective September 11. At a June 25 special meeting, three candidates were interviewed for the position. No decision was made at that meeting. At a later date, Brad Boice, currently employed with Eyota Public Works, was the council’s first choice by a 3-2 vote. Boice later declined the job offer, deciding to stay with his current employment. Councilor Robert Pederson maintained that both Boice and Burkholder are very qualified and suggested they move forward with the runner-up rather than starting the hiring process over. Councilor Paul Novotny acknowledged that there had been a lot of comments from the public since the last meeting. He insisted as councilors that they were “looking out for the best interests of the town.” Councilor Ken Jacobson related that he was comfortable with the process and didn’t believe that an employee should just be “bumped up”. Ga-ga ball pit Grant Griffin asked for permission from the council to construct a ga-ga ball pit in the Mill Creek Park area. Griffin was proposing the construction of the pit as his Eagle Scout final project. He will purchase the material and construct the pit. The pit is an 8-sided 20 foot diameter court. He described the game to be played in the pit as “basically dodge ball in a confined area”. The pit will likely be located behind the skate park. A sign will be constructed and placed near the pit listing the
rules of the game. The Park and Recreation Committee had recommended that the proposal be brought to the council. Councilor Mike Urban said he had looked the game up on YouTube and said it looked like an interesting game. Approval was given for construction of the ga-ga ball pit with the exact location to be determined by Tony Lammers. Other business in brief Authorization was given for plans and specifications to be developed for a digester cover for the wastewater treatment facility. In 2005, a second aerobic digester was constructed to increase biosolids processing capacity. This circular structure has an open top allowing heat to escape, causing it to “ice in” when there are cold winter winds. This requires the wastewater staff to use a torch frequently to thaw the ice. This is both time consuming and creates a safety issue. WSB and associates evaluated four cover options to preserve heat on the second digester. City engineer Tom Kellogg recommended a fiberglass dome cover with an access door. The cost estimate for the cover is $91,000, which is the lowest cost option. The project could be awarded in September, the cover to be delivered in December, and installed in early January. Novotny suggested they try and find a local contractor costing an additional 30 days, installing the cover in the spring of 2016, and adding the project to the 2016 budget. City Clerk Joel Young reminded councilors that there is a worker safety issue in thawing the ice for another winter, adding that

adjustments to other projects like the number of manholes to be maintained can be made to deal with budget issues. Kellogg also noted that plans and specifications will still be good next spring. Kellogg reported that the 2014 street and utility projects are nearly complete. There is still some work to be done on restoration portions of the project, including sod and grass seed. In Public Works committee, a study completed by WSB concerning a possible 8 foot bituminous trail extension from Highway 30 to the northern edge of the city along the west side of Highway 52 is being discussed. The trail could be constructed entirely within the MnDot right of way. A cost estimate for the entire length is about $176,000. Young and several of the councilors complimented the city crew, the organizers, and the volunteers involved with the Relay for Life event. Urban said about $158,000 was raised countywide, adding “what an event”. Councilor Dave Franks made it clear that no taxpayer money has been spent on the library landscaping project. It is entirely being paid for with donated money. Councilors thanked Lammers for his work and effort over the years and congratulated him on his retirement. Young reported that the Whitford Family Trust left $60,000 to the city. The trust specifies that $50,000 be used for the maintenance of Groen Park and the use of the other $10,000 is unspecified.

Street repairs in Canton By Liz Giese Plans were made for street repairs at the regular meeting of the Canton City Council on July 8. Jon Nordsving, city maintenance employee, had gotten a quote for repairing many of the streets in Canton. The estimate was $26,500 for about 60% of the streets in town, covering the areas most in need of repair. The council agreed that the street repairs are needed and that the cost is only going to go up, but questioned whether it was in the budget. City Clerk Lolly Melander reported that there is only $8,000 in the budget. It was noted that the liquor store fund reserves are available and the council agreed that street repairs would be a good use of those funds. Nordsving pointed out that, even after this project is completed, they could spend the same amount next year with the repairs that are needed in town. The council unanimously approved a motion to use liquor store funds to complete the quoted street repairs.

Nordsving also provided estimates for the cost of painting the water tower, along with an updated contract for cleaning and inspection. The old contract with Maguire Iron ended this year and Nordsving reported that they have done a good job. The rate went up a little to $1,700 per year for cleaning and inspection of the water tower, but that rate will be locked in for five years. The new contract was approved and will run through 2020. The cost of painting just the roof is $8,400 and the cost of painting the entire tower, including the logo, is $27,700. Nordsving stated that the roof needs it most, but the whole tower is close to needing painting. He added that the cleaning and inspection would be done soon, so he could find out whether the need for paint on the roof is urgent or if it could wait another year so the whole tower could be done at once. The decision about painting the water tower was tabled until next month. Nordsving went on to report that the suspected water leak had been found. The water surfaced in a ditch near the Catholic Church and the Lavonne McCarthy property. He stated that they hired Midwest Leak Detection, who came and spent two and a half days tracking it down and repairing it. Nordsving noted that the water levels have gone down more than expected since the repair, indicating that it had been leaking longer than they thought, probably 4-5 months. Further discussion regarding new water meters was tabled until a representative from Minnesota Rural Water could be present to explain the new water meter system. Garbage contract Greg Skauge of Richards Sanitation was present to finalize the new garbage contract. In signing the new seven year contract, the prior contract with two years remaining was terminated. There were some questions from the council about a
An Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County
provision in the new contract that states that a customer can adjust cart size once a year and that they may not move down in size. Skauge stated that it costs money to be constantly changing carts, noting that he’s already had to swap carts three times for a single residence in town. He added that people do not tend to move down in size and when they do they often end up with excess garbage that does not fit in the bin. The council pointed out that the difference in cost between the largest and smallest size is small. The council also mentioned that notices had been sent out notifying residents of the July 1 deadline to choose their cart sizes. Anyone who did not meet the deadline will get the largest size of the garbage and recycling carts. It was noted that the carts do not need to be set out every week if they are not full or in need of pick up. The council voted to approve the contract as written and the new contract was signed. Other business Mayor Donivee Johnson provided an update on the ordinance review the council has been working through. Several sections of the code were reviewed and discussed, including traffic, parking, snowmobiles, golf carts, ATVs, and UTVs. The council noted that it was not necessary to rush, but they would like to adopt the updated code by the end of the year. During review of the bills, Mayor Johnson raised a question about who is paying for internet at the community center. Nordsving noted that the Fire Department uses and needs the internet to do their recording, but they can’t afford to pay for the internet and the cooler. The council agreed that it was a necessity for the Fire Department and that the city should pay for it. Johnson added that they have recently cut out the phone lines at the community center and at Nordsving’s shop and they will soon be eliminating the phone line at the sewer plant and the fax line at city hall.

pay the internet bill of $39.95 per month for the Canton Fire Department. Councilor Carl Ernst provided an update on the building permit for a detached garage requested by Jamie Dierson. Ernst stated that the lot survey has been completed and the Diersons are working on the paperwork to apply for a variance. He noted that the new 30’ x 30’ garage will be in the same spot as the old one, but they will require a variance to put a building there now. All residents within 350 feet will need to be notified and Melander will contact the Diersons to see if the public hearing can be held in conjunction with the council’s regular August meeting. A Canton resident identified only as Sharon addressed the council with several complaints about her neighbor and his sons. The council responded
that most of her complaints were issues for law enforcement. Sharon said she’d attempted to report the issues to law enforcement, but felt “blown off”. The council replied that all they can do is to address it with law enforcement again and to ask the city attorney if there are any other avenues available. Nordsving and fellow city employee, Jim Davis, asked the council if they could attend a Rural Water class in Spring Grove on July 14 and 15. Nordsving needs the class hours for his license and it will be good information for Davis. The request was approved. The council also approved a request from Nordsving for days off work on July 23 and August 5-7. The next regular meeting of the Canton City Council is on Wednesday, August 12, at 7 p.m. at Canton City Hall.

Be sure to practice good posture
The human body craves alignment. When we are properly aligned, our bones, not our muscles, support our weight, reducing effort and strain. The big payoff with proper posture is that we feel healthier, have more energy, and move gracefully. Posture ranks right up at the top of the list when you are talking about good health. It is as important as eating right, exercising, getting proper rest and avoiding potentially harmful substances like alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. Good posture is a way of doing things with more energy, less stress and fatigue. Without good posture, you cannot really be physically fit. Without good posture, you can actually damage your spine every time you exercise. Ideally, our bones stack up one upon the other: the head rests directly on top of the spine, which sits directly over the pelvis, which sits directly over the knees and ankles. But if you spend hours every day sitting in a chair, if you hunch forward or balance your weight primarily on one leg, the muscles of your neck and back have to carry the weight of the body rather than it being supported by the spine. The resulting tension and joint pressure can affect you not only physically, but emotionally, too, -- from the predictable shoulder and back pain to headaches, short attention span, and depression. Correcting bad posture and the physical problems that result can be accomplished in two ways. The first is by eliminating as much “bad” stress from your body as possible. Bad stress includes all the factors, habits, or stressors that cause your body to deviate from your structural center. Bad stress can result from a poorly adjusted workstation at work, from not having your seat adjusted correctly in your car, or even from carrying too much weight around in a heavy purse or backpack. The second is by applying “good” stress on the body in an effort to move your posture back toward your center of balance. This is accomplished through a series of exercises, stretches, adjustments, and changes to your physical environment, all designed to help correct your posture. Getting your body back to its center of balance by improving your posture is critically important to improving how you feel.

Harmony native has “The Right Stuff” The Quarter Century Collie Group banquet on Friday, March 13 was a relaxing evening of fun, entertainment, education, and a delicious catered buffet dinner. This event is always held on the Friday evening of Collie Club of America Nationals week, and is one that members look forward to each year. It isn’t merely a
dinner - it is a time where collie people come together to simply enjoy each other’s company during a very busy week. Our event is open to all, and those who have been members of the Collie Club of America for at least 25 years have the opportunity to join QCCG as full members and to participate in voting for
One of Bill’s recent champions, “Foremost ‘N Garland’s Headliner”. Photo Submitted
nominees for the Right Stuff Award and/or Hall of Fame. A fun “icebreaker” activity led guests at each table to share with one another interesting little secrets from their own experiences, which led to some interesting conversations on many topics. President Jim Holliday opened the evening by welcoming everyone, especially first-time attendees. He then introduced our judges Sandy Thompson, Bob Kelly, and Linda Tefelski, our foreign delegates, and board members. We acknowledged those who passed in the last year with a moment of silence that reminded us to not take for granted our “friends in collies”, many of whom we seldom see outside of National week. Two representatives of Houston Collie Rescue gave a presentation of the recent Texas rescue project. We were reminded how much our precious collies depend on our help in these awful situations. They received much applause for the extraordinary work of their group and all the volunteers. Leslie Jeszewski graciously stepped in for John Buddie, who had another commitment as new
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
AKC Delegate, and presented his talk on Elizabeth Browning and her collies of Tokalon. We couldn’t help but compare that famous kennel of beautiful collies, so well-kept in large numbers, with the sad situation found in present-day rescue situations. Breeders of yesteryear had the advantage of having a large pool of dogs from which to breed, and we can envy them for that. But at the same time, we can be proud of today’s responsible breeders, the vast majority of whom do not have regular kennel help or extensive resources, who produce absolutely beautiful dogs with so much smaller kennels. Jim then seemed to be fumbling with something under the podium, and called upon Dr. William Brokken to come up and help him out. When Bill approached, Jim sighed with relief, having succeeded in uncovering the plaque he had been seeking. He handed the plaque to Bill and then announced to all that it was for the Group’s 2015 Right Stuff Award and that Bill was this year’s honoree! Bill’s smile upon receiving this news only grew wider as he looked up to see his brother Tom and sister Bonnie enter the room! They had been secreted away
Page 9
in an adjoining room, awaiting their call to enter. Ginny White’s excellent presentation of Bill’s history followed, complete with slides of many Foremost collies and a video tribute from his daughter Beth. Bonnie wrote a wonderful history of their family childhood, including some funny stories. Tom gave a bit of a “roast” of Bill, to everyone’s amusement, especially Bill’s. We all learned about Bill’s beginning on a Minn. farm, his lifelong love for the collie breed, and his unending thirst for knowledge of everything “collie”, all while juggling a stint in the military, family, medical school, and a new practice, and whatever challenges life threw at him along the way. A letter from his son Barry, read by Ginny, related how he asked his father how he managed to cope with the various trials all those early years, including the loss of his father at a young age. Bill’s reply had been simply, “The dogs. Without the dogs, I don’t know.” How true it is that the collies touch our souls, giving us the strength to continue forward.

Bill applied again twelve years later and was granted full approval, becoming one of AKC’s youngest judges. Bill has many collie achievements, as breeder, judge, and mentor. Bill has finished 35 collies (the Champion designation) under the Foremost prefix with more on the way. He judges throughout the United States and also internationally. His proudest assignments were judging the CCA National, which he has done four times, a rare achievement, including the Centennial Anniversary in Chicago and the 125th Anniversary
Monday, July 20, 2015
in Tulsa. Bill has served CCA as President, State Director, member of Judges’ Education Committee and yearbook editor. He was president of the Quarter Century Group for 10 years and continues on the board of direc-
tors. He is also on the board of directors of the Collie Health Foundation and has served on its grants committee. His writings have included articles in

the AKC Gazette and Collie Expressions. CCA awarded Bill the CCA/AKC Good Sportsmanship Award in 2013. We are grateful for the time and efforts Bill has dedicated to the collie world, and perhaps greatest of all is how he has shared his love and passion of collies. He has introduced many people to collies, educated and mentored them about the breed, and encouraged them to pursue their collie dreams. The happiness he has given to so many is immeasurable. As usual, the evening flew by quickly, and Jim Holliday appeared on the dais again to thank everyone for coming and to extend an invitation for next year, when we will convene in Louisville, Kentucky at a very special venue – the Kentucky Horse Museum. Please do plan to come!

During employment she was active in CWA union. Karen’s unwavering faith was a blessing to anyone who met her. Karen was very active in her church. She was a member of Fountain Lutheran Church, Community Lutheran Church in Geneva, Minn. and St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church in Granger, Minn. She was also very active with the Via de Cristo Community. Karen felt that her greatest accomplishment was raising her four incredible children. Her other source of pride and joy were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. To quote words from Karen, “The first time a woman hears ‘mommy’ from her children is a thrill, but the times she hears ‘Grandma’ is a miracle.”

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bill in 1994; an infant son, Gary; a brother, Bill; and a sister, Donna Carr.

Garden Artistry Picture a warm, breezy evening. Four of the most beautiful gardens in the county await as you set off on a tour exploring how four gardeners created their individual artistic expressions on the landscape. With great anticipation, you wonder how their plants have responded to the virtually perfect summer weather that has blessed our local area this summer. First stop is a Mabel back yard. Beginning with a blank canvas of lawn just four years ago, this talented gardener carves out curvaceous flower beds and fills them with mature specimens moved

from their previous country home. Exquisite placement of showy flowers, greenery, and ground covers echo colors and textures back and forth, bringing forth more beauty from each flower and leaf. In the broad shade of a variegated maple tree, a soothing expanse of hostas feels relaxing compared to the thrilling hot flower colors in the sun. The luscious lawn now consists of green paths winding through the ever changing display of flowers. After a tasty sampling of fresh vegetable appetizers and herbal tea, we pile into cars and head towards Lenora. This hid-

den country garden is reached by driving up a steep driveway through tall dark woods, before bursting out into a high sunny plain. A simple layout of twelve rectangular vegetable beds is set beside long, curving perennial beds, and backed by an orchard, pine trees, grape vines, and blueberry bushes as tall as a person, laden with heavy blue berries. Evolving over thirty years, the perennial plants are large and stand right up against one another, leaving almost no open ground for weeds to grow. It is the showiest time of year, with lilies, daylilies, monarda, phlox, and queen of the prairie showing at their peak of color. After lingering in the shady orchard over lemon-balm and sage herbal teas, cole soup and breadsticks, we are roused to drive on to the third garden, along the roller coaster road. A long pine-bordered drive heads past meadows and corn fields to reach a scenic country home surrounded by flower gardens. The chicken coop draws much interest, as does the thriving vegetable garden, fenced in and made completely of wood-sided raised beds. This gardener has developed numerous labor saving techniques including permanent mulch to prevent weeds, wooden tepees for beans to crawl up, and planting in blocks, so that everything is well organized. She says that after the beginning of July, the garden is mostly on its own, and she spends her time harvesting and putting up the bounty.

Our last stop near Preston is an old dairy farmstead, lovingly cared for over the past twenty years. Every area of the large yard has different types of gardens, with a myriad of showy perennials in full bloom everywhere. Enormous century-old walnut trees tower over the house, and giant weeping willows only two decades old back up to the hill. An orchard contains large apricot and apple trees loaded with fruit, while grape arbors and a long strip of healthy raspberries will be ready come fall. The windmill still turns, even though it doesn’t draw water, and anchors a circular display of unusual and showy perennials, with a different view at every step around the curve. Most impressive is the vegetable garden, planted in blocks with
thick hay mulch to block weeds. Everything is vigorous, including unusual varieties of purple cauliflower, dark burgundy lettuce, and vast amounts of greens like chard and kale. As darkness falls, we move up to the screened porch to partake of apricot and raspberry parfaits, and, of course, yet another freshly made herbal tea. Chatter fills the air as we catch up on news and try to recall the flower names we’ve just been learning. The annual Harmony Garden Club garden tour and progressive dinner has been faithfully attended for some thirty some years, and it is an evening no one wants to miss.
Cole Soup
Make a cream soup base by sautéing one finely chopped onion in 4 T. of butter. Add 1/4 cup flour and stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, without browning. Off heat, add 4 cups boiling milk all at once, stirring constantly. Simmer 6-8 minutes, or until smooth and lightly coats a spoon. Return to heat and whisk in 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon white pepper. Add 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, and if available, dill week and fresh parsley. Add 3-4 cups lightly steamed vegetables from the cole family—bite sized portions of cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and/or greens like chard or spinach. A cup of shredded cheddar cheese is optional. Heat through and serve 6 bowls. [From Janine Sarlin’s Food from an American Farm, 1991. Janine grew up on a farm near Greenleafton, the daughter of Opal and Troy Schrock. Her fascinating cookbook details a from-scratch style of cooking that used what the farm produced, as told through the recipes of her extended family. Opal was a long-time member of the Harmony Garden Club. Nancy Bratrud, the original Mrs. B who founded Mrs. B’s in Lanesboro, prepared this lovely soup for the garden tour.]

Your opportunity to visit the Houston overlook sign Engagement Ever want to go up to see the huge stone “HOUSTON” sign on the hill north of Houston, Minn. but didn’t know who to call or how to get there? Here’s your chance! All landowners and renters involved have granted the public permission to visit the sign as part of this special program only. (To visit at any other time, you

Spring Valley junk hearing held By Rich Wicks Spring Valley city council met in regular session on July 13. Members present were Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Mayor Jim Struzyk, and City Administrator Deb Zimmer. Prior to the regular meeting, the council held a public hearing for Junk Ordinance Violations. There were two properties with ongoing issues related to the ordinance. Regarding the first, Police Chief Tim Rasmussen said the only problem is a vehicle that is currently registered but does not yet have current license plate stickers, and which is not yet operable. The owner asked why the vehicle would need to be charged up and running, to which Zimmer answered that the ordinance specifically says vehicle must be “current and operable”. According to Chief Rasmussen, the second property owners had “quite a few items” in viola-
tion of the Junk Ordinance, but the majority have been cleaned up, and two of three vehicles on the property are running and registered. The council elected to give both property owner until the next regular city council meeting to have the vehicles “current and operable”. Mayor Struzyk suggested the owners call city hall to have someone come and verify when the vehicles are operable. The council then opened the regular meeting, and approved the prior minutes, and July Preliminary Accounts Payable totaling $197,599.66. No visitors had signed up to address the council, so the next order of business was Resolution 201526 (Ambulance Quarterly WriteOffs), which the council voted unanimously to approve. The council then considered a request from Daniel & Patricia O’Connell to change the pur-

chase terms for the former elementary school lot. The original purchase price was to be $5000, but they’d asked the council to consider changing that to $500, and to adjust the dates in the agreement. Members discussed the pro’s and con’s of the suggestion, with Mayor Struzyk stating, “$5000 down to $500 is quite a drop”, and councilor Jones agreed, saying, “For that size of a lot, $5000 is still pretty inexpensive”. The council considered “splitting the difference” by settling on a price of $2500. The city attorney will be consulted about this, and a recommendation will be brought to the next council meeting. Next, the council discussed the Bill Vreeman Request for Sewer Refund. Zimmer explained that is was recently discovered that the property had not been connected to the city sewer for the past 35 years, and Vreeman is requesting a refund of previous charges., but she explained Public Utilities can only go back seven years (to verify charges), and the total charges during the past seven years is $2524.40. Councilor Jones summarized, “It’s not really our fault, and it’s not their fault”, and the council voted to refund the $2524.40, minus the standard sewer line hook-up fee of $1500, for a net refund of $1024.40. The council approved Casey’s Tobacco License, as well as Ag Days fireworks permit, temporary liquor license, and street Closures as submitted. The council next approved Industrial Park pay Estimate #3 for Griffin Construction, totaling $141,577.97. The council also approved Resolution 2015-27 (authorizing Signature for Integrity Life Insurance Company). Mayor Struzyk then said two citizens have approached him asking about designating certain areas within the city to be designated as “no one over 18” fishing zones, such as from the bridge on Highway 16, to the County Road 1 bridge. This suggestion was brought to the Mayor as a way to assure that kids would be able to benefit from trout stocking within the city, without adults catching the bulk of the trout. Struzyk said according to the DNR, this is up the city to decide. Jones commented that a lot of adults fish in that area, and said “I think you’d get a lot of push back from adults, too” (if such a restriction were put in place). No action was taken at this time, and the meeting adjourned about 6:40 p.m. The next regular meeting will be Monday, July 27 at 6 p.m.

Fillmore County recognizes community correction professionals By Karen Reisner In an unusually brief meeting of the Fillmore County Board on July14, the board passed a resolution proclaiming July 12 through July 18 Pretrial, Probation, and Parole Supervision Week. Chairman Duane Bakke was absent. Alex Bunger, program manager of Dodge-Fillmore-Olmsted Community Corrections (DFO), requested signatures on proclamations that will be posted in each of the three counties to recognize DFO community corrections professionals for all of their work. These professionals are a “true Force for Positive Change in their communities.” The theme this year is “A Worldwide Force for Change”. Their research and evidence based approaches are used in Europe and around the world. Other business in brief A request to retire for Theresa Schieffelbein, Jailer, effective July 22 was approved, with thanks for 15 years of service to the county. Approval was given to post internally and externally for
a replacement full-time jailer. Chief Deputy Sheriff Tony Webber said that the department needed an additional Taser. The board approved the $1,021.81 purchase from Taser International using forfeiture funds. An access permit application from Alvin Reiland, County Road 12, Section 4, Bloomfield Township was approved. Interim zoning administrator Cristal Adkins said they will be expanding the west side of the existing driveway access to accommodate larger equipment. An access permit application for Jon and Ann Lechner, County Road 14, Section 28, Bloomfield Township was approved. They will be expanding the west side of the existing driveway access to accommodate buses and trailers. County coordinator Bobbie Vickerman noted that department heads will come before the board starting July 28 through September 1 presenting their proposed budget numbers. The preliminary budget and levy will be set by the end of September.

Recycling 101 By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator Even though many of us have cloth or canvas grocery bags, plastic grocery bags are used by most of us now and then. Newspaper and magazine articles concerning LaVerne C. Paulson plastic grocery bags are numerous. Many plastic bags find their way into roadside ditches, banks, and beaches of our streams and lakes, and some even become some sort of decoration in a shrub or a tree. Some cities have banned their use, while many
others are in the process of doing so. How many plastic grocery bags are used by Fillmore County residents each week? Hundreds and Hundreds. What happens to them once they enter your household? They can perhaps be kept in a bag or container and when you have a bunch collected, take them back to a store that has a container for recyclable plastic grocery bags. You can combine them in your landfill garbage, but taking them back to a store is better. Many people bring them to the recycling center and place them in the red container meant for plastic bags. Even though the red container is in the recycling center, these bags do not get recycled, but are sent directly to the landfill. Please make every attempt to keep all plastic bags separate

from recyclable items. Do not use plastic bags of any kind for curbside recycling. Plastic bags, whether large or small, thick or thin, are not to be found in the normal recycling stream. They do nothing but cause problems with the belts, pulleys, gears, and shafts of the recycling machines. Plastic bags used to bring recyclables to the recycling center or rural containers are to be emptied and taken home with you to be used again or placed in your landfill garbage. Approximately 11% of your landfill garbage is compostable. This may be a good year to start the habit of composting. It isn’t expensive, doesn’t smell if done correctly, keeps a lot of stuff out of the landfill, and yields some really great additives for your flowers, garden, or lawn. Concerning your lawn.....if you live in a town or city in Fillmore County and live on a street where the rain water flows into a sewer system, please try not to blow your grass clippings into the street where they will end up in the sewer system and sooner or later, into our streams and rivers one way or
another. Rather, blow your clippings back onto the lawn to let them become part of the soil once more or collect them and use them to make even more compost. When you go on vacation, continue to recycle. Do not throw everything into the garbage. Keep a bag in the trunk or back compartment of the vehicle and keep your recyclables in it until you find a recycling container at a rest stop, camp ground, motel, or gas station. If you have enough room in your vehicle, you can even bring your glass, steel, plastic, paper, and aluminum home to recycle here. When away from home, it may be better to go into a restaurant to eat, rather than “drive through”. It is much more relaxing and you don’t have the cups, glasses, bags, and other containers to deal with later. If you think you may be taking some extra food with you, have a reusable plastic container or two to use rather than getting styrofoam containers that are a little less than environmentally friendly. Your plastic containers don’t usually
leak, and you can throw them right into your cooler to enjoy later. Just wash them out when the food is gone and they are ready for the next time. Many local restaurants invite you to bring your own “leftover” containers with you. They work as well here in Fillmore County as they do hundreds of miles from home. The Fillmore County Fair will be upon us soon. The Fillmore County Resource Recovery Center and Fillmore County Recycling plan to have a booth in the west end of the commercial building. Please stop by and check it out. There will be copies of the latest Single Stream Recycling Guide available. The recycling containers for glass, plastic, and aluminum bottles and cans will again be found throughout the fairgrounds. Just empty the bottle or can, throw the cap in the garbage and drop your bottle or can into the container. Remember..... no recycling in the garbage, container and no garbage in the recycling container. Please use the containers and set a good example for the rest of the people that are visiting the fair.

facing outward from the vehicle, and (3) mounted in the upright position. The person driving the motor vehicle shall keep the plate legible and unobstructed and free from grease, dust, or other blurring material so that the lettering is plainly visible at all times. It is unlawful to cover any assigned letters and numbers or the name of the state of origin of a license plate with any material whatever, including any clear or colorless material that affects the plate’s visibility or reflectivity.” The ball hitch needs to be a device approved by the Com-
missioner of Public Safety. The ball hitch must be of sufficient strength to control a trailer. A ball hitch attached to the receiver can have the receiver detached and removed when not in use, especially if it is causing an obstruction. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minn. send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minn. State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester Minn. 55901-5848. (Or reach him at, Troy.Christianson@state.mn.us) Twitter: MSPPIO_SOUTH
By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: I was wondering if it is illegal to have the ball hitch in the receiver of my truck if I am not pulling any trailers at that time? Also is it illegal to have more than one ball on my bumper? Troy H. A n s w e r : Christianson No, it is not illegal to have a ball hitch in the receiver of a truck when not pulling a trailer. It is not illegal to have more than one ball hitch on the bumper. With that being said though, you need to be aware that multiple ball hitches on the bumper could obstruct the rear license plate. According to Minnesota State Statute 169.79 Subd. 7, “All plates must be (1) securely fastened so as to prevent them from swinging, (2) displayed horizontally with the identifying numbers and letters

Crashin’ and Smashin’ for Caleb By Barb Jeffers Has driving a vehicle in a demolition derby always been a dream of yours? If so, now is your chance. Are you one of those backseat drivers who sits in the stands and thinks you could do better? Then you need to put your money where your mouth is. The Crashin’ and Smashin’ for Caleb raffle is selling tickets for a chance to drive a demo car during this year’s Fillmore County Fair in Preston, Minn., with proceeds going to Caleb Eide and his family as Caleb continues his battle with leukemia. Jim Hanson, who works with Caleb’s uncle, Matt Lawstuen, at Huntington Electric in Lanesboro, Minn., thought of the raffle. When Jim’s family members heard about the idea, they wanted to help, including his dad, Terri Hanson, brother John Hanson, and sister, Julie Hanson. Julie says they all got involved because it is “a good cause” to help Caleb and his family. Even if you have never thought of getting strapped in behind the wheel and purposely hitting
other vehicles “just for fun”, you need to start imagining yourself revving up the engine of your very own demo car. The demolition derby will take place Saturday July 25, 2015 at 6 p.m. in the grandstand. The Crashin’ and Smashin’ for Caleb van will be included in the “Mighty Mini’s” class. The fair
board will graciously waive the entry fee so the only cost is the raffle ticket. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased at many local businesses, including Valley Lanes in Spring Valley, Minn., Napa locations in Preston and Chatfield, Minn., Preston Liquor, CHS and Wit Boyz in Chatfield, Shooter’s
The Hanson family is hosting the Crashin’ and Smashin’ for Caleb event at the Fillmore County Fair during the demolition derby on Saturday, July 25, 2015. Pictured L to R are Terry Hanson, Julie Hanson with daughter, Kylie, John Hanson, and Jim Hanson with the van that will be driven in the demo derby by the winner of the raffle. Photo by Barb Jeffers
and Goodies & Gas in Wykoff, Minn., Root River Saloon and Granny’s Liquor in Lanesboro, Minn. among other locations. After Julie created the Crashin’ and Smashin’ event on Facebook, the page had 5,100 hits in three days. Terry says “now we need all of those people to buy tickets” to support Caleb. The raffle ticket drawing will be held between 5:30 and 6 p.m. the evening of the demolition derby in the grandstand and tickets can be purchased right up until the drawing is held. The Hanson family will have protective gear on hand for whoever wins the raffle. The Chevy Venture van used for the fundraiser was donated by Paul Little of Fountain, Minn. John, Jim, and Terri Hanson all did work to get the van ready for the demolition derby and figure they put about 15 hours into the van between them to have it ready for some lucky winner to drive it into the grandstand. Getting a vehicle ready for a demo is nothing new for the three men, as Terry participated in demolition derbys for 34 years, John 13 years, and Jim 17 years and counting, as he will be driving in the full size class this year. The van was painted orange
and Luke Schieffelbein painted “Eide do anything for Caleb” in blue letters on the side of the van to coincide with the t-shirts worn in support of Caleb, which are orange and blue. Caleb chose the number “16” for the demo car. The Hanson’s are very excited for the demolition derby and are looking forward to seeing someone drive the van that they have worked on and Julie states that she has gotten “a lot of positive response” from people about the raffle. The family would like to stress the fact that even if you would rather not drive in the demolition derby you can still buy a ticket or give a cash donation. If a person’s name is drawn and they do not wish to drive, then another name will be drawn. You must be 18 years of age to purchase a raffle ticket and must be present to win. The van will be parked near the beer garden at the Fillmore County Fairgrounds the week of the fair if anyone would like to take a closer look at the van they may just get the chance to drive into the grandstand. For tickets, call or text Julie at (507) 993-3086 and get your chance to go Crashin’ and Smashin’ for Caleb.

Harmony council approves plans for wastewater plant project By Hannah Wingert The Harmony City Council met on July 14, 2015 at 7 pm. Council member Debbie Swenson was acting mayor in Mayor Steve Donney’s absence. The Harmony Fire Department requested permission to hire Dustin Hanson to replace the firefighter who recently left
the department. The council approved the hiring, which will bring the number of firefighters back up to 26. City Administrator Jerome Illg reported that the community garden is going well. Several plots have already been rented out. The new civil defense siren
and generator at the firehall have been installed. Stantec Engineer Ron LaFond gave a presentation to the council on the upcoming wastewater plant project and requested approval of the plans and specs so advertising for bids can begin in August. The project will include a repair to the

trickling filter arm, replacement of the RAS pumps, valves, piping, and VFDS, installation of a dechlorination system, reconditioning of the five existing fiberglass domes, installation of a fiberglass dome over the tank that is not currently covered, isolation of the grit room, and bringing the screen room up to code. The estimated construction cost is $315,000. Work will begin in October 2015 and be completed in July 2016. The council approved the plans. At the June council meeting, it was decided to hold off on painting the water tower until the summer of 2016. Illg plans to contact Maguire Iron, Inc. about the contract pricing sent to him for 2015 to see if they would honor that same price next year. If so, he will have the contract signed, otherwise he will revisit the topic at the August meeting to decide what course of action to take. There have been ongoing issues at the sewer plant, some of which are caused by flushable wipes going through the system. As they do not disintegrate, they clog it up and cause maintenance problems and increase costs to the city. The electric poles will be tested in about a week by TriCounty Electric. Council member Debbie Swenson presented the EDA report. She noted that the 4th of July city event went well, with a high number of people
Page 9
attending the festivities. She received several comments that the event was well run. The EDA has been discussing the possibility of painted several murals in downtown Harmony and will have more information on that at a later date. The Harmony Public Library has been having issues with water leaking into the library on the north wall. It has been inspected by the company that did the construction and by the maintenance crew, but a cause for the water seepage has not yet been found. Author James Rain will be at the library on July 25 to discuss his new book, Afognak. Former Harmony resident and Harmony High School graduate Mavis Kjarland displayed some of her art during the July 4 festivities. There was a good turnout for the art show. The council approved the purchase of a new F-550 city truck along with a 9’ 2” plowhead and a 10’ stainless steel box at the total cost of $54,722. Council member Steve Sagen pointed out that there are several areas in Harmony in which tree branches are low enough to brush against passing vehicles. He questioned what the city was able to do to take care of that problem. Administrator Illg said that it would have to be determined on whose property the trees were on before trimming. The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be held August 11, 2015 at 7 p.m.

Lively Wykoff council meeting held By Rich Wicks A regular meeting of the Wykoff City Council was held on July 13, with all members present. The council approved the agenda (with one addition regarding vent hood prices), and approved prior meeting minutes (with one clarification regarding “council discussion” about sewer shut-offs) and approved bills, after some clarifications by city clerk regarding specific billed items.
Michelle Meldahl (First Responders) informed the city that a second AED unit will be obtained, and she asked the city to consider where to put it. She said the location needs to be known, so that 911 operators could direct someone to it if needed. She also said AED training will be held July 18. Pam Kunz then addressed the council, explaining that she’d like to donate seven bushes, to be planted in front of the community center. The council voted to accept this donation, with thanks. Lyman Hare addressed the council regarding his wish to build a garage on his property, and the need for a variance. He referred to the Public Hearing Notice that had been posted, and said it mentions a minimum four-foot setback. He asked why his request for a permit hasn’t been granted. Coun-

cilor Mitch Grabau explained the full ordinance states that ten feet is needed in this specific situation, but Mr. Hare disputed this. He also handed out a copy of a complaint he filed, stating, “We feel the Board of Adjustments is coming up with different and unexplainable reasons not to issue us a building permit for a garage on our property. We don’t believe we are required to apply for a variance, according to the notice that was posted by the city clerk for the hearing. This notice contained incorrect information about our request, but states that we must be 4 feet from the property line, which we are well over that amount”. Councilor Mitch Grabau said, “I wish you would have stayed for the meeting following that, because we really discussed this part of the ordinance. What we found is that you’re within 8 feet of your house, right? So if you read the rest of this, it says if you’re within 10 feet, you need to have 10 feet on the side.” There was considerable and contentious discussion about the need for a survey, and how it should be paid for if conducted. Eventually, councilor Brody Mensink made a motion for the city to pay half of the survey, but there was no second, so the motion died. At the suggestion of Kevin Graves (WHKS), regarding the
Street Reconstruction Project, a public hearing was set for August 4 at 7 p.m. in the community center. The city will also consider whether to continue to have WHKS Engineering provide assistance through January 2016 with getting the wastewater treatment facility operating within expected parameters. The council elected to take down the Schmidt trees, and trim the museum trees. Regarding the need for a range hood and ventilation system at the community center, an option is available through Winona Heating & Ventilating. Councilor Vreeman will bring back a total price with electric and gas work factored in. It will be checked to see if grant funding can be used for this
expense. Mike Shaw submitted a letter regarding his purchase of the “old creamery property” in which he states his understanding that the land would be “restored to the proper way it was before the new waste water treatment plant was built”. He asked that the rock and cement chunks be removed, and that the ditch be fixed, then black dirt hauled in and seeded. The city will investigate whether TJ’s will grade and seed the area, and the city will check to see if community service workers could help remove the cement chunks. Paul Hardwick addressed the council regarding a letter he’d received regarding the See LIVELY WYKOFF Page 11

“old thrift store and old grocery store” buildings, which he owns. He disputed the claim that his building is a hazard, and the tenant explained the work he is doing to fix up the building, stating, “I would suggest you back off and give us a little time” (to make improvements). Mr. Hardwick also pointed out that the city attorney and councilor Lund should have recused themselves on this matter, since they have conflicts of interest. Lund agreed, saying, “You’re right, I should have recused myself.” Sheri, who operates the bar in the adjacent building, summarized her concern, saying, “I want protection”. To which, Hardwick responded, “We will work with Sheri.” He then drafted a written response to the city attorney’s letter, and handed it to the mayor.
Rebecca Sheely addressed the council, stating her dissatisfaction with the city clerk’s performance. At this point, councilor Lund intervened, saying it’s a personnel issue and should be handled in a closed meeting. The council approved liquor license for the Lions for Fall Fest, September 26. The LMC Seminar is set for July 22 at 6:30 p.m. Also, the council approved attendance at the Regional and SEMLM meetings on July 23 and 30. Harvey Schmidt spoke to the council about the cannon, saying it’s not safe as is, stating “I’d prefer to leave it there and block it up”. The council OK’d this. City employee evaluations will be held July 23, starting at 6 p.m. This will be a special, open meeting, but some portions may be closed to the public. The next regular meeting of the Wykoff city council will be Monday, August 10 at 7 p.m.
