Swimming pool bonding proposal presented By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com
Mike Bubany, David Drown Associates, presented a recommendation for the structure of General Obligation Bonds for the Swimming Pool Project during the Chatfield City Council’s July 23 meeting. The bonds were authorized (up to $4.4 million) by voters in a referendum in the November 2017 special election. Total capital costs, contingencies (additional needs like security cameras), and issuance expenses together come to $4.4 million.
Annual bond payments are expected to be about $313,000 per year for 20 years. Bubany recommended a competitive sale. The city has a Stable AA credit rating. A resolution was adopted providing for the competitive negotiated sale of $4.4 million GO swimming pool bonds. An official statement will be prepared for reaffirming the city’s credit rating. Awarding of the bond issue is scheduled for August 27 and closing on September 10. See SWIMMING POOL Page 11

spring, when school ended, she and her husband Jeremy decided to bring one of the young chicks home to keep. Although they believed it to be a hen, it turned out to be a rooster, and Carter named him “Chester.” Specifically, Chester is a New Hampshire Bantam Cockerel. Later, they decided to add to their brood, and they now have eight hens and three roosters, and that’s how Carter’s business plan was hatched. Any businessperson can tell you that a business needs a catchy name, because if you don’t catch peoples’ attention, you’ll never See CHESTER’S BUTT NUGGETS Page 8

There’s a young entrepreneur near Cherry Grove who has really got things cracking. At just seven years of age, he’s certainly no hard-boiled businessman, but Carter Keim is the CEO (Chief Egg Officer) of the family’s new egg-venture, which he named “Chester’s Butt Nuggets.” For a seven-year-old, Carter knows a lot about chickens and their care. Recently, he explained the feeding and nesting needs of the birds, and gave a tour of the coop. “We have a swing for them, and we have roosting bars,” Carter shared, “and we have
dust for them to roll around in.” He even proudly showed off a xylophone toy that the chickens “play” as they peck mealworms off it at snack time. He also explained that the mealworms help chickens develop harder shelled eggs, and he stated that some chickens lay white eggs, while others lay colored eggs, but that the color doesn’t indicate any difference in taste or nutrition. Carter’s mother, Tonya Keim, explained that, as a preschool teacher, for the past five years she has used chicken eggs as a fun and educational activity for her students, who enjoy watching for the tiny chicks to emerge.

home, farm or business,” said Julie Kolka, manager of Mabel Cooperative Telephone Company. “In many cases, rural is defined as less than three or four subscribers per mile of fiber. Low density makes it more difficult to plow fiber to rural areas. Yet, everyone is deserving of having access to quality broadband service,” stated Jill Fishbaugher, manager of Spring Grove Communications and Harmony Telephone Company. MiEnergy Cooperative built a broadband network to communicate between its Rushford and Cresco offices and to com-

municate and automate its substation equipment in its electric service territory. The same equipment will serve as the backbone for the fixed wireless broadband network. Fixed wireless broadband works rather like cell phone communication, with towers carrying a signal. Fixed wireless broadband customers will have a radio at a fixed location that will communicate to an antenna on a nearby tower. Customers will need a line of site to the tower, in order to send signals roughly five to seven miles. While MiBroadband did not discuss broadband speeds, the goal of the new company is to meet and exceed state and federal broadband speed requirements. Brad Finstad, State Director for Rural Development in Minnesota, said, “This will help keep and bring young people to rural areas. Connecting to high-speed internet can help schools, businesses, residents, job creation and bring prosperity. I live in

rural Minnesota with my family and this is good for us and for generations to come.” Brian Krambeer, President/ CEO of MiEnergy Cooperative, spoke on the directive given by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). “The USDA instructed electric cooperatives to roll out broadband to rural areas like we did electricity in the 1930s,” Krambeer said. “Following that directive, MiEnergy created an ad hoc subcommittee of our board directors to work with management to investigate opportunities and partnerships. The result is why we are here today.” The cooperatives also announced that MiEnergy Cooperative partnered with Mabel Cooperative Telephone Company and Spring Grove Communications to become an owner of Harmony Telephone Company. Harmony Telephone Company is a privately-held company in Harmony, purchased in 2006 by Mabel Cooperative Telephone Company and Spring Grove Communications. It provides broadband and tele-

phone service to Harmony and the surrounding rural area, as well as cable TV service in Harmony. Mabel Cooperative Telephone Company is a memberowned cooperative formed in 1961, although its roots began in 1906. The cooperative serves 1,500 subscribers in Mabel and Prosper, Minn., and Hesper, Burr Oak and Ridgeway, Iowa. MiEnergy Cooperative is a member-owned electric distribution cooperative, the result of a 2017 merger between Hawkeye REC of Cresco and TriCounty Electric Cooperative of Rushford. It maintains 5,500 miles of power lines covering most of Fillmore, Houston and Winona counties and Chickasaw, Howard and Winneshiek counties in Iowa. It provides electricity to more than 18,700 members in northeastern Iowa and southeastern Minnesota. MiEnergy is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative. Spring Grove Communications is a member-owned cooperative in Spring Grove. Formed in 1959, the cooperative serves 100 square miles of southeast-
ern Minnesota along the Iowa border, including a small area of northeastern Iowa. It extends a 100% fiber network that provides local broadband, cable TV and telephone service. MiBroadband will operate out of the Harmony Telephone
Company’s offices and plans to launch in late fall/early winter. Following the launch, the cooperatives will rollout service to the Cresco and Rushford areas first. Announcements will be made later for future rollout areas.

Red Cross blood shortage: Emergency need for all eligible donors to give now Thousands of people have responded to the emergency call for blood and platelet donations issued by the American Red Cross in early July. Still, there continues to be an emergency
need for donors of all blood types, especially type O, to give now to address a severe blood shortage. Red Cross blood donations are being distributed to hospitals
faster than they are coming in, and right now there is less than a five-day blood supply on hand. The Red Cross strives to keep a five-day supply of blood to meet the needs of patients and
to be prepared for emergencies that require significant volumes of donated blood products. “Patients don’t get a summer break from the need for lifesaving treatments, so it is critical that
hospitals have access to blood products each and every day,� said Sue Thesenga, communications manager of the North See RED CROSS Page 4 

By grace are ye saved By Aaron Swartzentruber Greenleafton, MN “Knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the Aaron works of the Swartzentruber law; for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” (Galatians 2:16) The cults and religions of the world all say “do this” or “do that” and you’ll have a chance of getting to Heaven. Christianity says “it’s
done.” Christ on the cross said, “It is finished.” (John 19:30) Being justified by the faith of Christ means the Judge has dismissed you from your death sentence which He had issued, because One (Jesus Christ) stepped in and willingly took the punishment for you. And then He rose from the dead never to die again. However, having said that, you have to agree with God that you are a sinner, that you’ve broken God’s holy law, and you have to believe that Christ alone has payed fully for your sin debt on the cross. Until you come to Christ alone for salvation you are a hell-bound sinner. That’s harsh but it needs to be said. We hear so much about how God is for us, and that we are all children of
the universal blood type and can be given to any patient. It’s what emergency room personnel reach for when there is no time to determine the blood type of patients in the most serious situations. In thanks, all those who come to donate blood or platelets July 30 through August 30, 2018,
will receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email. (Restrictions apply; see amazon.com/gc-legal. More information and details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/ Together.) Donors of all blood types are urged to make an appointment to give now using the free Amer-
ican Red Cross Blood Donor App, by visiting RedCrossBlood. org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Upcoming blood donation opportunities • Preston: August 15, 2018: 1-7p.m., United Methodist Church, 212 St. Anthony St. N.
God. That’s called the good news, but who needs good news if there is no bad news. The bad news is left out most of the time but the bad news is the only thing that makes the good news good. Dear friends, if you have not come to Christ for salvation you are not a child of God. Jesus said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3) Being born again simply means believing in your heart that Christ paid fully for your sin debt. So you see, until you are born into the family of God you are not a child of God. Now, God is for us and Christ did die for the sins of the whole world, and it’s a gift (Ephesians 2:8-9), but a gift is of no value to the recipient until he or she recieves it. Don’t ever buy the garbage of “universal salvation.” The Bible does not teach it.
Ok, let’s move on. “For I through the law am dead to the law.” (Galatians 2:19) The law has executed me, therefore I am no longer subject to the law. The law is like a slave master, it tells you what to do, and if you don’t do it, it punishes you. But a slave master can no longer control the slave when the slave dies. Thus he is free from his old master. The law cannot give life, it can only give death. “For if righteousness come by the law then Christ is dead in vain.” (Galatians 2:21)And by the way, if you think keeping the law can make you righteous, how do you explain the righteousness of Abraham. “Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness.” (Romans 4:3, Galatians 3:6, Genesis 15:6) The law did not come until 430 years after God had counted Abraham righteous. The law had
absolutely nothing to do with the righteousness of Abraham. Abraham believed God, that’s all he did. He did not follow the rules as best as he could or anything like that. He just believed God. I know that a lot of you who read my letters are trying your very best to have a chance of getting to Heaven. You are trying to get right with God by keeping the law, but you can’t become righteous by keeping the law. You are in bondage to a legalistic system that has mixed the law of God with the Grace of God for a possible salvation. I am not condemning any certain individual but I am, without apology, in the name of my Saviour, condemning a system that has corrupted the pure Grace of God. “Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” (Acts 16:31) Until next time...
State gains 6,600 jobs in June
Overall unemployment rate steady at 3.1%, total jobs surpass 2.96 million, most in state history Minnesota employers added 6,600 jobs in June, according to seasonally adjusted figures released today by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). In addition, the agency said May’s employment figures were revised from 10,200 jobs gained to 10,700 jobs gained. Over the past year, Minnesota employers have added 45,517 jobs, a growth rate of 1.5%. The U.S. growth rate during that period was 1.7%. Minnesota now has a seasonally adjusted total of 2,962,300 jobs Editorial Cartoon
statewide, the most in state history. The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate held steady at 3.1% in June. The U.S. unemployment rate was 4%. “Minnesota gained 17,300 jobs over the past two months, the state’s strongest growth spurt in more than a year,” said DEED Commissioner Shawntera Hardy. “Overall employment in the state is at a record level and continuing to grow, however, we must continue to invest in communities where job growth is not as
strong.” Leisure and hospitality led all sectors with 2,700 new jobs last month, followed by manufacturing (up 2,000), construction (up 1,500), information (up 900), professional and business services (up 900), trade, transportation and utilities (up 600) and other services (up 200). Logging and mining held steady. Three sectors lost jobs: government (down 1,000), education and health services (down 600) and financial activities (down 600).
Leisure and hospitality also added the most jobs over the past year with a gain of 13,728. Other industries adding jobs in the past 12 months were manufacturing (up 8,661), professional and business services (up 5,434), education and health services (up 5,143), trade, transportation and utilities (up 5,035), construction (up 4,744), government (up 4,137) and information (up 508). Other services (down 1,399), financial activities (down 386) and logging and mining (down 88) lost jobs over the past year. In the Metropolitan Statistical Areas, all five regions gained

jobs over the past 12 months: Minneapolis-St. Paul MSA (up 2%), Duluth-Superior MSA (up 1.5%), Rochester MSA (up 0.2%), St. Cloud MSA (up 1.6%) and Mankato MSA (up 4.5%). 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. Minnesota’s black unemployment rate fell from 6.1% in May to 5.6% in June for yet another all-time low dating back to 2000. Minnesota’s Hispanic unemployment rate increased from 4.4% in May to 5.3% in June. Due to relatively small sample sizes, the calculated unemployment rates for black and Hispanic populations in Minnesota are more susceptible to random measurement error. DEED is the state’s principal economic development agency, promoting business recruitment, expansion and retention, workforce development, international trade and community development.

County approves donation for veterans home By Karen Reisner The July 24 county board meeting was attended by numerous veterans, demonstrating their support for the veterans home. The board’s agenda included a request for a veterans home donation. Commissioner Duane Bakke said the process for the veterans home is moving forward. The legislature approved $10.2 million for the Preston site in its bonding bill. Every local dollar brought in or pledged prior to late August will be counted for a 2:1 federal match. The city of Preston is requesting funding from the 15 counties in the catchment area, including Fillmore County. Bakke noted the city of Preston as of today has a total of $470,000 pledged for the veterans home. This does not include the $210,000 the city paid for the land, which is not eligible for the 2:1 federal match. City Administrator Joe Hoffman in a phone conversation broke the $470,000 total down: $125,000 from the city, $125,000 from the utility and another $110,00 0from the utility in lieu of some of the infrastructure investments, and $110,000 from the Preston Community Foundation and
Ron Scheevel. Bakke said, “We need to step up.” A donation from Fillmore County can demonstrate its support. Letters to the other counties in the catchment area are to be sent out by the city of Preston requesting a donation from each of them. Chairman Mitch Lentz commented that it would have been nice if this were done (a donation from the county) before the location was selected by the board. He added the board was forced into that decision by the legislative process. These donations being sought now will be put toward construction of the building. A campaign is being planned and will be soon set into motion by the city of Preston to raise donations from individuals, Servicemen’s Clubs, Legions, and VFWs. Bakke noted pledges made before late August will help determine the design. Design and the number of beds could be determined by dollars available. Or, it could be determined that not enough funding is available to make the home viable; in this case, an application may not even be submitted for federal funds in April 2019. Commissioner Randy Dahl
commented that not a single person he had talked to about a county donation was against making the donation. He added he feels privileged to represent a county that supports our veterans. Lentz commented if an applicant falls short, it will be cut out. The land and infrastructure are secured. Time is short to get pledges from other counties to receive the 2:1 match. Lentz maintained the time to make the commitment is now. Bakke made a motion to make a $500,000 commitment from the county, which was seconded by Lentz. Dahl amended the motion saying he was originally at $250,000. He amended the motion to make a donation of $350,000. Commissioner Marc Prestby agreed. Lentz reminded the board that no one thought we would get this far. The amendment to the motion was approved with the understanding that the figure could be revisited down the road, if need be. A motion to donate $350,000 was approved unanimously. A check will be written to the state of Minnesota. The funds will be put into an escrow account. If nothing develops,

the money should come back to the county. Other business in brief • Tim Penny, president and CEO of the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF), presented an annual review of the foundation’s collaborative efforts within the region. The foundation concentrates on three areas including: early childhood development, economic development, and investments in community vitality. Fillmore County has six community foundations. SMIF collaborates to support communities in a 20 county region. “SMIF has invested $9.5 million in Fillmore County since 1986.” In a recent example, SMIF and loan partner CEDA helped Caleb and Blake Lauritsen-Norby expand inventory and equipment at Parkway Market and Coffeehouse in Lanesboro. For every donation of $1 in Fillmore County $30 is invested back into its communities. Penny said he appreciated local support from the county. • Marty Walsh, EDA director, reported on the availability of a USDA Rural Housing Services Home Improvement Grant. The grant could be used for weatherization, e-connectivity, or anything that improves the rural quality of life. Funding would be 80% provided by USDA and 20% could come from the EDA’s revolving loan fund or the property owner. He suggested applying for a $40,000 grant. The board questioned how this would fit with Semcac’s weatherization program. Dahl was concerned if there could be competition with Semcac. An application has to be submitted by August 9. Walsh was directed to check if there is a conflict with Semcac. Authorization to apply for the grant will be considered at the August 7 board meeting. • Kristina Kohn, Human Resources, said they were doing an annual review of the county’s policies. She recommended no change to most of the seven policies discussed. They will be brought back at the next meeting for a second reading. A question was raised about

the safety of non-public data. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman explained firewalls are in place to protect personal data from hackers; she admitted that firewalls are not 100% protection from determined hackers. The resignation request from Deputy Sheriff Nathan Olson was accepted effective August 7 after 2.5 years of service. Approval was given to advertise both internally and externally for a replacement Deputy Sheriff. • An agreement to have a contractor to do herbicide treatments for Japanese hops on county owned land along the Root River from Preston to Lanesboro and possibly further downstream was approved and signed by chairman Lentz. This is a renewal of a 2015 agreement. Donna Rasmussen, SWCD, reported that funds from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture will be used to hire the contractor. Land owners are being contacted to get land owner agreements signed. Japanese hops are an aggressive vine that smothers other vegetation. The plants are found starting in Preston and downstream. • Authorization was given by resolution for Wayne Hall to repurchase forfeited property contingent on county attorney approval. Hall has agreed to pay the past amount due and the current amount due totaling $1,366.07 to buy the property back, which is located in Canton. • A proposal for Mitel Phone Expansion Project and PRI upgrade was approved. The 36-month upgrade is expected to provide some savings. • Sheriff Tom Kaase updated the board on Text to 911 Program. He said they are looking at a way to do this regionally to minimize costs. • Solid Waste Administrator Andrew Hatzenbihler and County Assessor Cindy Blagsvedt presented their proposed 2019 budgets, kicking off budgeting season. Budgets will reflect possible salary increases of 2.5% and health insurance cost increases of 15%.

Elizabeth Matson Foster Elizabeth Matson Foster died on February 20, 2018, surrounded by her loving family in Honolulu, Hawaii, after a brief hospitalization for complications of influenza pneumonia. She was 75. Liz was Elizabeth born in Dec- Matson Foster orah, Iowa, to Walter and Hazel (Fairbanks) Matson on May 23, 1942. Her earliest years were spent in Butte, Mont., where her father was serving in the Army Corps of Engineers during WWII. The family returned to Harmony, Minn., where she, then known as Betty or Betty Carol, attended school. She was in many activities both in and out of school and graduated as valedictorian of Harmony High School in 1960. Following high school, she attended the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and graduated with a BS in English Education. She remained in Minneapolis and taught at University High and then at Min-
netonka High School. In 1966 she married Richard Foster. They had a son Matthew, born in 1967. In 1973 his work as a college professor took them to Honolulu, Hawaii, where she lived the rest of her life. Here began what would be a four decade career teaching English and Creative Writing at Punahou School. It is as a teacher that Liz is best remembered. Rarely is a person matched with an avocation as Liz was with teaching; she was a natural. Her recognition of the power of words and the importance of students each finding and expressing their own voice were central to her personal philosophy and strength as a teacher. Liz inspired thousands of students during her awardwinning career. She created the Writing Center at Punahou and there originated the H.A.W.K.S., a program where advanced writing students provided help and guidance for other Punahou students. In addition to her students, her colleagues loved Liz too. She was a mentor for many new faculty members. In her heart and soul she was a poet. Liz served as an editor for collections of student and campus writing and also broad publications including National Geography photographer Rikki Cooke’s Molokai: An Island in Time. Beyond those from Punahou, the others who knew her best were friends from the tennis court. She played her last match two days before being hospitalized. In 1992 she married her soul mate, George Grace. The life and love they shared was what we all hope to find. She is survived by her son, Matthew Foster of Seattle; two sisters, Sharyn (Bill) Kiehne of Harmony and Barbara Fishbaugher of Kewaskum, Wis.; two brothers, Mark Matson of Minneapolis, Minn., and Brian Matson of Honolulu, Hawaii; stepson Mark Grace of Denver, Colo.; stepdaughter Erica (Charles) Grace of San Francisco, Calif., and their three children; along many nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Richard Foster and husband George Grace. A memorial service was held at Punahou Thurston Chapel in April with the sweet smell of

succeed. With a name like “Chester’s Butt Nuggets,” people are definitely noticing. Tonya said that they decided to make a batch of t-shirts for family and friends, to help promote the business. She said they expected to make about 20 shirts, but as the public started seeing the shirts, there was a rush of requests for more, so they scrambled to print more, and have gone through over 100 shirts. Carter has posted many videos on Facebook and YouTube to showcase the business (search for “Chester’s Butt Nuggets”), and the family says this is where most of their customers hear about them. Recently, Carter also got to strut his stuff in the Cherry Grove parade. Since the operation is small, they currently have a short “waiting list” for eggs, and they fill the orders as quickly as the hens cooperate. Tonya said one big advantage to this is that customers are truly getting farm-fresh eggs, sometimes within an hour or two of when the eggs are laid. When asked if the plan to expand their flock and business, Tonya said that will depend on limitations of space, and parental discretion. In the meantime, they welcome any interested customers to contact them about eggs (and/or t-shirts) via Facebook. Chester and his fellow inmates have occasionally gotten loose

and attempted to become freerange chickens. But coyotes, hawks or other animals might easily poach one of the chickens, so the boys are well-practiced in the art of catching the chickens and returning them to their enclosure. The pens are wellstocked with places for the birds to roost and lay eggs. Each of the birds also has its name posted on the pen. Tonya said that creates a challenge regarding what to do with the hens after their egg-laying years are done, because nobody wants to ask what’s for supper and be told, “Dolly and Reba.” Carter and his brothers all pitch in on the venture, and mom (Tonya) is assigned the duty of cleaning the coop, which she said needs to be done up to twice daily. The boys are very skilled in handling the chickens, and proud to show the routine. When asked what he plans to do with his profits, Carter said he’ll probably save some of his nest egg for college. But he also said he might use some of the money when the family flies the coop for a planned vacation to go see Paul Bunyan. Carter offered this reporter a sample of “Butt Nuggets,” and they were very tasty. Tonya shared her opinion that, “Everybody should have chickens, they’re kind of fun!” So far, the Keim family is learning and having lots of egg-citement with their new business venture, which seems to be turning sunny side up!

Lexie is a female dachshund, about 14 years old. She was adopted from a shelter in 2015, but her owner unexpectedly passed away recently. She really needs a person to dedicate her love to. Lexie came to SDR underweight and we are working on getting her to a 15-16 pound range. She LOVES to be with people, and doesn’t like to be left out. She would much prefer to be left to roam the house, which is fine since she doesn’t get into trouble. She does have potty training issues since she got out of the habit when her owner died. Her foster mom is letting her out often, but Lexie wears a doggie diaper when left alone all day.

Spring Valley limits ATV usage By Rich Wicks The Spring Valley City Council held a public hearing and a regular council meeting on July 23, with all members present (Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Mayor Jim Struzyk, Jessy Betts, Mike Hadland and city administrator Deb Zimmer). The public hearing was opened at 6 p.m. regarding the council’s proposal to regulate ATV usage within city limits. No citizens attended to address the council regarding the issue. The council discussed the proposed ordinance, which Zimmer pointed out was the previous “golf cart ordinance” amended to also address other types of ATVs. It states the proposed rules for what Jessy Betts said are Class 1 and Class 2 side-by-side ATVs (including golf carts), including that all allowed vehicles must obtain a permit, occupants under 18 must wear a helmet, and that drivers must be at
least 16 and licensed drivers. It further states that operation is only during daylight hours, and not during inclement weather. The proposed ordinance also states that “Recreational vehicles which require the occupant to straddle the vehicle for operation are not allowed to operate on city streets and are not eligible for a permit.” After discussion, the council voted unanimously to adopt the ordinance. Members discussed the damaged wall inside city hall (just behind and above where the council sits during meetings). It was pointed out that rainwater has leaked in that area for a long time, and previously repairs have been very temporary. Zimmer said, “We’ve had several people up on the roof, patched the roof, they say the roof ’s fine.” She also said a company named Braun Intertec has submitted a price
of $2,930 to determine the specific site of the leak, so it could then be repaired permanently. She clarified that this company does not do the repair, but simply finds the problem. Council members voiced concerns that without a guarantee, the city could end up spending nearly $3,000 for nothing helpful. Jones said, “It sounds like a lot to me, just to tell us where the problem is.” Hadland suggested tabling the issue until the city can get local bids on doing the actual repair. The council chose to table the issue. John Fenske reported on the leak at the swimming pool, saying, “The pool’s been about the same, nothing’s really changed. I tried to isolate things… and it still kept leaking water, so I assume it’s the bottom pipe that goes up to the pump.” He said after the pool season closes, around the end of August, he will contact Roto-Rooter to come fix the leak.

Rushford planning 2019 street and utility improvements; discussion on school sale By Kirsten Zoellner The City of Rushford has spent the last decade working to develop and proceed with a plan for maintenance and upgrading of streets and underground utility. Spurred by needs following the 2007 flood, the city has undertaken several sizable projects and another is potentially just around the corner. The city’s engineer, Bolton & Menk, presented an updated plan at the Monday, July 23 meeting. The current plan is based off a 2015 Pavement Management Plan in which engineers gave conditional ratings to every street within the city, looking to maximize pavement lifespan while aiming to minimize maintenance, overlay, and reconstruction costs. All of the city streets were prioritized based on pavement condition and utility needs, including watermains, sanitary and storm sewers. Cost estimates provided in 2016 were reevaluated for high level 2018 costs. A number of streets need minimal maintenance and either have acceptable or no utility needs. However, nine streets, or portions of them, were identified as poor condition due to the state of underground utility, with an additional 15 street sections identified as potential reconstruction due to both street condition and utility needs. Several utilities remain serviced by undersized cast iron watermains or clay pipe sanitary sewer. “The needs are pretty widespread,” noted Derek Olinger, of Bolton & Menk. One long section, West Stevens Avenue and West Jessie Street, part of state Highway 30, are already
on the Minnesota Department of Transportation work schedule for 2022. Olinger noted remaining streets were identified on three priority levels, which further reduced target streets for the 2019 to just five: Walnut St., East Grove St. (east of Rush Creek), a portion of North Burr Oak St., Circle Drive, and Lamplighter Lane. All of the areas are within the “Brooklyn” neighborhood of the city. The city’s Capital Improvement Plan was analyzed in 2017. At the time, $1.98 million was allocated to the 2019 reconstruction project and an additional $1.82 million allocated to the 2022 state highway project. These amounts, in addition to existing debt, fall under the city’s self-set maximum per capita debt level. A number of added benefits come with the project. Utility service areas see issues such as property services running under adjacent property, bends in sanitary sewer lines with no manhole access points, lack of storm sewer, and a valley gutter which stretches across a main neighborhood thoroughfare. The project could also see planning for future abandonment of line problem areas and removing utilities from the Army Corps of Engineers levee. “Anytime you can get utility out of a levee it’s a good thing,” added Olinger. The estimated cost breakdown of the project includes $1.14 million for Grove St., $335,000 for Walnut St., $305,000 for North Burr Oak St., and $245,000 for Circle Drive. These portions would be paid for with property assessments and general obligation bond. The $85,000
Lamplighter Lane pavement reclamation would be funded via assessment and existing Capital Projects funds. The council appeared to be in consensus regarding the need for some sort of discussion regarding sidewalks, including development of a sidewalk master plan. Some of the identified streets have sidewalks, even if leading nowhere, while others have none. Councilor Sally Ryman questioned whether or not residents want them and she, along with Councilor Terri Benson, suggested a look at addressing walking/biking in the street. The street widths vary and estimates are based on street widths close to current figures. The preliminary plan and estimates do not include sidewalk work or street widening, but Olinger noted a feasibility review could be done. The council unanimously approved the preparation of a preliminary engineering report, which includes survey and topographical study of the project area, as well as sanitary sewer televising. The tentative project schedule calls for an improvement hearing October 25, with approval of plans and specs and opening of bids as early as February/March of next year. Following bid opening, an assessment hearing would be held in April, prior to estimated May 1 construction start. This would help identify project appeals earlier. The first of four neighborhood meetings for affected streets is tentatively slated for August 7. “There’s limited details available, but it’s their first notice that something is coming,” noted Olinger. “We’re trying to set real-

Monday, July 30, 2018 motion to accept the proposal as presented was approved. Mayor Russ Smith said the wall was an important part of Chatfield. Other business in brief • Approval was given for the fifth payment ($85,546.70) to Edge Contracting, Inc. for work on Enterprise Dr. which is over 90% complete. City engineer Matt Mohs said the project is essentially finished; seeding and sod improvements need to be done. A 5% retainage in the amount of $35,081.54 is being held. • Young explained the offering of a Utility Services Program by Utility Services Partners. The private company services would be offered on the city’s letterhead for marketing materials and the “city would be required to review and comment on all marketing materials.” In return the city will receive 50 cents per month for each program purchased. Residents can choose to purchase warranties for exterior water lines ($6.75 per month), for exterior sewer lines ($7.75 per month), or interior water and drainage pipes ($9.99 per month). The programs are provided directly to residents by the company. There is no cost to the city and residents can purchase any or all of the warranties or none. Councilor Mike Urban commented that citizens can decide on their own. Mayor Smith said we only are allowing the company to offer the service; we are not advocating one way or the other. A motion to allow the service to be offered was approved. • Verizon wants to introduce small cell technology at no cost to the city to “provide the community with wireless data service to meet future demands.” The Verizon upgrade was approved. Verizon will pay for the installation and pay the city $175 per year rent. A new light pole with LED fixture and Verizon small cell installation will be installed at the corner of Third St. and Fillmore St. SE. Young said the agreement with Verizon is consistent with state statutes. • A proposal for new furniture for the outer clerk’s office from HON Company at a cost of $12,589 was approved.

Senior LIVING
Laughlin says being active is key as we age
Ron Laughlin of Preston, Minn., stays active after his retirement including volunteering his time. Photo by Barb Jeffers By Barb Jeffers “I can’t express enough about physical fitness,” states 75-yearold Ron Laughlin, a very busy retiree from Preston, Minn. Laughlin grew up in Madison, S. Dak., and went to school with Sandy Amundson, who he would reconnect with and marry years later. After graduating in 1961, Laughlin enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He was a Gunner’s Mate, serving aboard the USS King.
Laughlin served in Vietnam, where he lost his best friend, Frank. He, like many veterans, does not talk about his time there often or to very many people. After he was discharged from the U.S. Navy in 1966, Laughlin worked in an auto parts store in California, had his own appliance repair business after that, and then worked at Yosemite National Park. At the time he was working
at Yosemite National Park, his mother “played cupid” and set him up with Sandy, whom she adored. It wasn’t long before Ron adored Sandy as well and they got married. In 1991 they moved to Preston. Laughlin worked for Strongwell in Chatfield, Minn., before performing maintenance for the school and then for Fillmore County. After retiring at the age of 63, “I wanted something to do,” he explains. He was contacted by Larry Hunt, the Veterans Service Officer for Fillmore County at the time, about driving veterans to their appointments at the VA hospital in Minneapolis, Minn. “Before I was hired to drive ,a lot of older veterans told me they couldn’t drive up there anymore and they have to rely on the van,” he states. He has been driving the veterans for 12 years now and says, “I have really enjoyed it,” and he plans to continue for the foreseeable future. Laughlin recently received a coin in appreciation of 6,256 hours of volunteer driving — this number shows the level of commitment Laughlin has to his fellow veterans. In December 2017, Laughlin was the recipient of the Jefferson Award for Public Service by Fox 47 television station, after being nominated by Gabby Kinneberg with the Preston
Chamber of Commerce. In June of this year Laughlin was chosen to represent Fox 47 at the Jefferson Awards Annual Ceremony in Washington, D.C. Laughlin and his wife spent three days in Washington, D.C. and each of the recipients from around the country gave a one-minute speech, including Laughlin. Laughlin stated, “This is not all about me; it’s about these veterans that have written a blank check to the government to give us the freedom that we have — that’s why I do it.” And, the veterans he gives rides to appreciate the ride and respect Laughlin as a fellow veteran. Even with so many hours spent on the road each week, Laughlin still finds time for many hobbies and interests. He is an active member of the American Legion and is the squad leader for the Preston/Harmony memorial rifle squad. He is also an active member of the VFW. He was on the committee to get the veterans cemetery in Preston and is now on the committee to get the veterans home in Preston. Laughlin enjoys spending time with family in the cities and out of state and taking other vacations with Sandy. He loves spending time gardening and he also has a passion for cooking, and is always trying new recipes. Church also plays a very big role in the couple’s life,
as they are very involved in their church, Christ Lutheran Church of Preston. Spending time at the fitness center is a priority for Laughlin and his wife. Laughlin believes it helps a person both mentally and physically to stay active and exercise. “My doctor even tells me, ‘You have to stay active,’” he says. “I tell people you gotta get out and do things.” When asked for any tips, hints or advice for growing older gracefully he says, “Family is important,” explaining that grandkids can keep you young by simply spending time with them. Another tip Laughlin has is, “Stop smoking — I wish I would have quit 30 years ago,” he says. Possessing a positive attitude as we age can be difficult sometimes but having positive people around you helps. “Sandy has made it easy for me to be positive,” says Laughlin. “I’m not positive all the time,” he conveys, but he does his best to look on the bright side of things. For anyone who has spent even a short amount of time with Laughlin, it is not hard to understand why he has been recognized for his dedication and commitment to his fellow veterans — but Laughlin spends his time trying to making sure that every veteran is recognized. It is quite an honorable and valuable way to spend his retirement years.

How to stay flexible as you age Men and women may begin to feel less flexible as they get older. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, that loss of flexibility is because muscles lose both strength and elasticity as the body ages. A lack of flexibility can make men and women more vulnerable to certain types of injuries, including muscle strains and tears. While people might not be able to maintain the flexibility they enjoyed in their twenties, there are ways for them to combat age-related loss of flexibility. • Stretch frequently. Stretching is a great way to combat age-related loss of flexibility. Stretch major muscle groups, such as hamstrings and shoulder muscles, several times per week. When practicing static stretching, the goal is to gradually elon-
gate the muscle being stretched before holding the elongated position, and ultimately allowing the muscle to return to resting position. As flexibility improves, elongated stretches can be held for 30 seconds. Avoid stretching muscles that are sore or injured, and discontinue a stretch if you feel pain or discomfort. • Include yoga in your exercise regimen. Practitioners of yoga typically love how this unique discipline that exercises the body while relaxing the mind improves their flexibility. Many yoga poses are designed to improve the strength and flexibility of muscles, and some physicians may even recommend yoga to aging patients. Yoga DVDs or streaming sessions can be great, but beginners

may want to visit yoga studios or sign up for classes at their gyms so instructors can personally ensure they are doing each pose correctly. As their flexibility improves, men and women can try more difficult poses and classes if they so desire. • Get in the pool. Swimming is another activity that can help aging men and women improve their flexibility. Strength-training exercises are an important component of a well-balanced exercise regimen, but such workouts tend to focus on one or two muscle groups at a time. That means other muscle groups may be inactive and tighten up as a result. Swimming works the entire body, which helps all muscle groups stay loose and flexible. One or two swimming sessions per week can contribute to great gains in overall flexibility, especially for men and women who remember to stretch when they get out of the pool. Flexibility may decrease as men and women age, but there are various ways to combat the natural loss of flexibility.

Mabel librarian celebrates 90th birthday and 24 years at the library
Mabel librarian Donna Johnson was recognized with a resolution passed by the House of Representatives. Photo by Hannah Wingert By Hannah Wingert “I can’t believe I lived this long to begin with,” Mabel librarian Donna Johnson laughed. Johnson celebrated her 90th birthday on April 8 and has no plans to retire from her job as library director at the Mabel Public Library anytime soon. “Everybody asks when I think I’ll retire. I tell them when it isn’t fun anymore.” Johnson began working at the Mabel library 24 years ago, in
August 1994. “It doesn’t seem like that long,” she commented. Before that, she worked in the Mabel-Canton elementary and high school libraries. “It was just a delight,” said Johnson. She loved working with and getting to know the local kids. In June 1994, she retired from the school at the age of 66 years old, with no plans to continue working. The next month, she and her husband were visiting Johnson’s sister in
California when she received a call asking if she would be interesting in working as the library director at the Mabel Public Library. “I looked over at my husband and asked him how he would feel about me being over there four hours a day for five days a week, and he said, ‘If that interests you, go ahead,’” Johnson shared. “So I said I’d be happy to, and I’ve been here ever since.” There are a lot of things that Johnson loves about her job as the library director. “I look forward to coming over every morning,” Johnson said. “I like when I go to the stacks and can find a book exactly where it’s supposed to be. I like the kids back and forth and the older people. They come in and tell me all about the books they read, and I just feel good about it.” Johnson also likes the fact that the Mabel library doesn’t charge fines for overdue books. Instead, she has a donation jug sitting on the check-out desk. “If they’re (the patrons) feeling like they’re owing us something because of having something overdue, they just drop something in my jug,” she explained. That money goes to

purchase replacement books and other incidentals for the library. Johnson has some help holding down the fort at the library. Her daughter Penniann Ramirez works at the library on Saturdays, and Donnis Thompson comes in on Tuesdays. In addition to working as the library director, she enjoys attending games at Mabel-Canton and seeing some of the kids who come into the library playing sports. While she was born in South Dakota, Johnson is a native of Mabel. Both of her parents were from the Spring Grove/Mabel area and moved back when she was a child. She and her husband built a house in Mabel when they were expecting their second of seven children, moving into their new home in July 1951. She still lives there today. “It wasn’t a very big house, but we just kept adding a little bit whenever we needed it,” she said. When her husband became disabled, they remodeled one last time, making it handicapped accessible for him. Later, when he needed someone to care for him, she hired someone to do
so and continued to work at the library. “It worked out really well for everybody,” she said, explaining that that decision helped to stave off caregiver fatigue. Johnson feels that her job at the library has kept her young and healthy. “Over the weekend, when I sit too much, my knees get stiff, so you know it’s been helpful to be moving,” she said, adding that while the vast majority of people around her age are using mobility devices such as canes or walkers and taking pills each day, she doesn’t have to do any of that. Johnson’s birthday and the fact that she is still working at the library has received quite a bit of attention. The City of Mabel hosted an open house at the library on April 13, which was well attended. Media from across the country has reported on and shared her accomplishment. Johnson even received a congratulatory letter from Minnesota governor Mark Dayton, celebrating her 90th birthday and a resolution was passed by the House of Representatives recognizing her accomplishment in continuing to work after her 90th birthday. Both letters are currently on display at the Mabel library as well as other memorabilia from her special day.

By Mary Whalen An artistic flare seems to have always been a part of the life of Luanne (Wentworth) Peterson, so it is no surprise she is able to take a skein of yarn and create beautiful and useful stocking hats which are donated to cancer patients and others experiencing medical trials. Luanne has been known in the Harmony area as the hard working farmer and wife of the late Lloyd Peterson, mother of Larry, and aunt/mother to Tony, Rita, and Mary Wentworth. She began stitching canvas in her home on the State Line Road at HECO’s infancy, then worked for this company in the basement of Harmony’s local newspaper office in 1962. This talented woman has completed a long diverse list of jobs over the years, including the family business, Hi-Point Coverings, and at 50 years of age was encouraged by her husband to paint. “Lloyd said that if I painted, I could continue doing this kind of art when I got to be old and I guess he was right!” says Luanne. An obstacle in expressing her ideas on canvas was removed when Lloyd asked Luanne to paint a remembrance piece of an Amish friend who had died in a Donating her crocheted hats to cancer patients is one way Lu- farming accident. “I painted him anne Peterson brings joy into the lives of those faced with medical as I remembered him.” remarked Luanne. “He was a blacksmith.” trials. Photo by Mary Whalen Realizing the subjects dearest to her heart surrounded her, Luanne’s rich rural life offered her an array of inspirations for her oil paintings, which can be seen at the Harmony Gardens & Floral and Kingsley Mercantile.

of money.” This organization has also been given beautiful gowns for American Dolls, which were created by Luanne for the Relay for Life. Luanne says, “I began crocheting Barbie Doll wedding dresses when I got my first granddaughter! That was the beginning of designing wedding dresses. I’ve made many of them but gave most of them away. One of my biggest thrills is to see the little girl’s eyes light up when she holds a beautifully dressed doll.” This humble charming woman has a deep faith believing “any talent that I have comes from a much higher source and for a very special reason. I simply hold the brush!” In holding the paintbrush or the crochet hooks, Luanne Peterson has made a difference in countless lives in the Harmony area and across southeastern Min-
nesota and Wisconsin. Luanne concludes, “I am so thankful for everything God has given me and this is my way of giving back.” A book of all Luanne Peterson’s paintings and her note cards featuring her paintings can be purchased at Harmony Gardens & Floral, 625 Main Ave N, Harmony.

Mabel/Canton joint meeting held
Mabel and Canton councils meet with school board July 24. Photo by Rich Wicks By Rich Wicks On July 24, an informal “joint meeting” was held between the Mabel-Canton School Board and the city councils of Mabel and Canton. Attending the meeting were Canton council members Charlie Warner and
Donivee Johnson, school board members Diane Wilder, Chris Miller, Jason Marquardt, Chris Loppnow, Superintendent Gary Kuphal and Principal Michelle Weidemann, and Mabel council members Terry Torkelson, Karen Larson and Gary Morken.
Monday, July 30, 2018 The meeting was led by Kuphal, who outlined a general agenda of sharing information about common goals and challenges. Kuphal started by informing the council members that the school board has seven members who each serve a four-year term, with either three or four member terms expiring every other year. He also shared that the school district is just over 116 square miles in area, and he showed a map of the district boundaries. He said enrollment has been “Pretty steady, around 260, or about 20 per grade… we’ve stayed close to that for about five years now.” Kuphal said an important issue for the school is the situation with North Winn students who have chosen to “open enroll” to Mabel-Canton. He explained that, “Our primary source of income is based on enrollment,” and that while about 60 students open enroll out of MabelCanton, about 20 students open enroll in, with 14 of those being from North Winn. Kuphal further explained that Minnesota students can open enroll anywhere within the state, but that open enrolling across state lines is only allowed if the
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
two school districts have signed an agreement, such as MabelCanton has with North Winn. But he said, due to the upcoming merger of Decorah and North Winn, that arrangement may or may not be renewed, which represents a possible loss of around $100,000, or just over 5% of Mabel-Canton’s enrollment-based revenues. The Decorah and North Winn schools will officially merge to become “Decorah Area Schools” just over a year from now. The newly formed board will include four members from Decorah and one from North Winn. Kuphal also explained that schools generally have to seek a referendum to raise additional funds, whereas city councils are able to increase revenues without sending these matters to voters. He added that Mabel-Canton is currently operating without debt, which he described as “very unusual” for a school district. Council members shared information about their cities, such as population (Mabel 772, Canton 360) and the makeup of their councils. The council and school board members talked of the possibility of finding viable options for day care, as a
Page 23
way to encourage families with young children to live, work, and attend school in the community. Kuphal suggested the board and councils should look for ways to share resources, as applicable, and to work together to promote growth. He also said he’ll be meeting with Marty Walsh from Fillmore County EDA soon. Kuphal informed the councils of the upcoming “volunteer day” at the school, set for August 12 (with a rain date of August 19). This event will encourage community members to come help paint and work on other minor maintenance issues at the school. The meeting adjourned at 7:50 p.m. Terry Torkelson suggested the joint meetings continue about twice per year, as schedules allow. This plan was agreed upon. No next meeting has yet been set. Mabel-Canton School will continue to lead and host the meetings.

Facility projects at Fillmore Central making progress for upcoming school year By Hannah Wingert At their July 24 meeting Superintendent Richard Keith updated the Fillmore Central School Board on the facilities projects currently taking place in preparation for the 2018/19 school year. The high school lockers are being re-painted in a gray color, as they were beginning to chip. The Harmony baseball field relocation and parking lot are in progress. A lot of trees have been cut down for those projects, and the school will work with the City of Harmony to plant more trees in other locations. The cement work for the new preschool playground will be done by the middle of August and will give students access to

the playground via a sidewalk. A few of the pieces from the elementary playground such as the stepping stones and ball toss will be moved to the preschool playground. The rest of the pieces do not meet current safety codes and so will need to be disposed of before the new playground equipment is installed. There was a discussion about posting them as free for taking with a signed release, but nothing was decided for certain. Superintendent Keith mentioned that the state of Minnesota will be accepting grant applications on August 29 for extra grant money for schools. The money will be doled out

randomly, and he predicted that Fillmore Central only had a one in one hundred chance of receiving any, but is hopeful that the school’s application will be selected. If received, the grant money will be used to help fund the relocation of the high school office for security purposes and possibly the relocations of the high school lunchroom and the media center. Principal Heath Olstad noted that 116 students in grades 7-12 participated in the Summer Strength and Agility training. He extended the school’s gratitude to Coach Andrew Pederson for organizing the program and to all of the other coaches and drivers who volunteered as well. The 2018-19 K-6, 7-12, faculty, paraprofessional, and coach handbooks were approved with minor changes. Information about the new back-to-school conferences will be in the next school newsletter. Online scheduling is being set up for parents to register for a time slot with their child’s teacher for the conferences. An announcement will also be sent out via text, email, or phone call depending on which notification options were selected during the previous school year. Resignation from daycare worker Addy Eiken and dance coach Kari Berg were approved, as well as resignations from custodians Dustin Ferrie and Ryder
Witte. Katelyn Brincks was hired as the high school administrative assistant for a 215 day contract. Elementary school administrative assistant Brenda Ristau’s contract was adjusted from 200 days to 215. Kyle Blahnik was hired as the head baseball coach and Kim Underbakke as a paraprofessional at the elementary school. Jordan Miller was approved as a volunteer coach for football. Superintendent Keith asked the board to approved job postings for two additional staff positions. The first position is for a third kindergarten teacher. The incoming kindergarten class is up to 48 students so he would like to add a third section in order to keep the class sizes smaller. The second position is for an additional paraprofessional to supervise students when using a flex-learning platform. This would allow teach-
ers to assign work to their students via Schoology during the teacher’s absence if a sub cannot be found. The postings were approved. An open enrollment request was approved for a LeroyOstrander family was approved for students in sixth, eighth, and tenth grades. The Long-Term Facilities Maintenance plan was reviewed and approved in preparation for submitting it to the state by July 31. A quote from Stateline ICF for the preschool playground grading and concrete installation in the amount of $17,922.00 was approved. The board reviewed and approved their board goals for 2018-19 as part of the World’s Best Workforce plan. The next Fillmore Central School Board meeting will be held on August 28 at 6:30 p.m. in the high school media center.

The Preble Township government should regulate large livestock feedlots to the fullest extent allowed under Minnesota law.” The board of supervisors will direct the township planning commission to study the impact of large animal feedlots upon the health, safety, welfare, property values and environment of the township and its residents. The purpose of the public hearing and special meeting will be to present information and receive public comments on a proposed interim feedlot ordinance (moratorium) that would be adopted under the authority of Minnesota Statutes § 462.355.
