As many districts are struggling with ongoing long-term facility maintenance, the Houston School District has taken a proactive stance in care of their three facilities. District sites include the 1859 preschool, 1939 elementary, and 1957 and 1969-70 high school buildings. Going beyond just basic maintenance, the district is in the midst of both interior and exterior work and an impressive Energy Savings Project. Taking advantage of new Long-Term Facility Maintenance legislation, the project includes something major on each of the buildings: a new roof and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system for the elementary and new windows in the preschool and high school. The high school is also benefitting from a remodeled DCD room, which will aid in students with cognitive disabilities that need restroom, transition and
physical therapy facilities within their classroom. Lastly, a new brick facade on the front of the high school building, new gymnasium bleachers, floor refinishing, and painting. According to Houston Superintendent Krin Abraham, the district had also considered a steel roof for the elementary, but the benefits were outweighed by a multitude of issues. “We talked about building an addition onto the elementary building, but since new construction is not covered by the LTFM funding, we decided not to burden our taxpayers with that expense,” added Abraham. Detail planning for the project has been a big part of the project, right down to the brickwork pattern on the facade. The district is working with Unesco, a planning, architecture, engineering, construction and energy firm from Mahtomedi, Minn. “Engineers and architects from the firm spent months in See SCHOOL UPGRADES Page 12
the ecology, so you are helping save our planet as well. These are the benefits of having a tiny house, but if there are pros then there must be cons, right? Well, of course there are - we will explore those in time. First, why a tiny house? “What inspired me the most” happened in 2013, says Osterhus, “when we (she and her boyfriend, Aaron Gamm) went to interior Alaska with the Conservation Corp. to help rebuild homes after a flood on the Yukon River,” explaining, “it was an ice jam that flooded all these rural communities,” leaving many homeless.

Trends come and go. As is the case with trends, they explode onto the scene and it becomes the latest craze. Tiny houses is one of the most popular trends right now, not only throughout the United States, but around the world. The city of Lanesboro, Minn., decided to explore this tiny house trend and invited Kylie Osterhus of Rochester, Minn., to bring the tiny house she built to Lanesboro to display the miniature home for people to tour from July 27-29, 2016 on Parkway Avenue in front of

St. Mane Theatre. The idea behind tiny houses is “less is more,” meaning that spending less of your hardearned money on a large house and all of the expense that comes with it will give a person more time to just enjoy life. After an initial investment, you can live life without a mortgage hanging over your head. Another benefit of a tiny house is that you can take it with you. Instead of an RV, you have a truly “mobile home” that can be hitched up to a vehicle and moved wherever you desire. Still another positive of living in a tiny house is less damage to

Fire Chief Dave Keene and treasurer Dustin Arndt made the case for a $100 per year increase in Fire Relief Association retirement at the council’s August 1 meeting. Mayor Kurt Reicks and councilman David Harrison were absent. The mayor and city administrator were appointed to the Fire Relief Association Board per state rules.

The $100 increase was approved and will raise retirement to $1,600 per year of service after a fireman is fully vested. This is average for the state of Minnesota. Arndt explained that after 10 years of service, a fireman is vested and is to receive 50% and another 5% each year of service there after until he has 20 years of service and is fully vested.

TINY HOUSE
Continued from Page 1
While volunteering in Alaska, one of the city managers suggested using shipping containers as homes. That concept got her thinking of “alternative housing options,” says Osterhus, one of them being the tiny house trend she had heard of. Also while working with the Conservation Corp. for two months she says, “I learned all these skills,” and after returning home and taking an environmental ethics class she states “I became obsessed with the tiny house movement” as so many

others have. She excitedly brought the idea to her dad, Scott Osterhus of Spring Valley, Minn., who quickly got on board and said “we can do that,” and so the tiny house journey began for Osterhus. Osterhus had plans on purchasing a trailer to begin working on her little palace, but fate had something else planned. “I actually bought the shell from another guy that I had met locally (through a tiny house meet up group) and he and his dad had been working on it for three years,” notes Osterhus adding, “the trailer was handmade

and they really overdid it.” so it was a sound beginning for her small home. Shortly after she bought the shell of the house, Osterhus says, “I had heard about this tiny house conference in Portland, Oreg., and I didn’t know anyone else with a tiny house, so I decided this is going to be my vacation this year,” to go to the conference. While at the conference, Osterhus saw a documentary titled Small is Beautiful and she met the people that appear in the film. This inspired her even more. “It has taken us a year and three months on and off working on it,” states Osterhus and by “us” she means herself, her dad, her boyfriend, her brother, and more. “It was a family affair” and “the design process was my favorite,” states Osterhus, saying, “my mom and I had a lot of fun thinking about that” and deciding the final layout. “It was nice to have this event be the deadline so we got it done,” said Osterhus, as they had just completed the tiny house the Sunday before it was to be displayed in Lanesboro and pulled it to Lanesboro the day before the three day event began. Some facts about Osterhus’ tiny house: • Total cost - approximately $15,000 but “we put in a lot of labor,” says Osterhus. • 13 feet high, 20 feet long, approximately 260 square feet. • Fully insulated and winterized. • Six-gallon water heater so “a ten minute shower,” states Osterhus. • 40-gallon tank for water on board. • Air conditioned. • Will experiment with electric heat, gas heat, and other sources to see what works the best for them. Osterhus and Gamm will be living in the tiny house together but they are “still deciding”

where they will put it, according to the couple, as they just finished building it. When asked if she was surprised by all of the attention her tiny house had drawn during the three days, Osterhus said, “Yes, I came here on Wednesday night to give tours and it was non-stop,” with people wanting to tour the house and ask questions. Osterhus was so impressed by the documentary Small is Beautiful that she talked with Lanesboro Arts about it and they decided to show the film on the final night of the event, Friday, July 29 in the St. Mane Theatre. An empty seat was very hard to find, if there was one, when the documentary began giving added weight to the fact that a lot of people are interested in the tiny house trend. There were people of all ages in the audience showing that it is not only young people interested in tiny houses. The film highlights the highs and lows that four people go through while constructing their tiny houses in a very real way. There are very serious moments in the film but there were several times when the audience laughed out loud or giggled as a group. Small is Beautiful is a true representation of just what a person, or a couple, go through to accomplish their dream.
Others with tiny house building and living experience were also invited to participate in a question and answer session following the showing of Small is Beautiful, including Molly Randall, of Winona, Minn., who said building a tiny house together is “a good test of a relationship,” but added, “it’s worth all of the struggle you go through to get there” once your house is complete. As promised, now comes the (partial) list of cons when building and living in a tiny house. Building a tiny house together can test even the strongest relationship. When living in a tiny house, privacy is hard to come by. Living in such a small space with another person certainly wears thin sometimes. Taking clothes to the laundromat or a family or friend’s house, especially in the middle of a Minnesota winter, would not be enjoyable to some of us. And lastly, rules and regulations, when there are any on the books for tiny houses, make it very hard for some people to find a spot to put their tiny house. Whatever their reasons and however many cons may be on their list, people are jumping on the tiny house bandwagon and the trend is not a small one.

Ostrander sets meeting on granny pods
Laurie Balata informs council of funding option for infrastructure project. Photo by Rich Wicks By Rich Wicks The Ostrander City Council met on August 2 for a regular meeting. All members were present (Erin Brugh, Pam Kunert, Mayor Pat Nesler, Clerk Chris Hyrkas, Heidi Jones and DJ Start). The council unanimously approved the consent agenda items. The council heard from Jennifer Gumble, representing the legal firm Springer & Gumble. She explained that their firm closed at the end of July, with Scott Springer becoming Lead Criminal Attorney in Mower County, and Gumble joining the firm of Hoversten, Johnson,
Bechmann & Hovey in Austin. Springer and Gumble had met with Police Chief Tom Mosher, and all three recommend that Ostrander retain Lee Novotny as city prosecutor. They also suggested “for civil municipal matters, we are recommending that you keep everything with Jennifer at Hoversten’s office.” She explained that all rates and services would remain as they had been with Spring & Gumble. Marty from Hoversten’s office also addressed the council, saying they would very much welcome the business and will strive to provide excellent service for the city.
After brief discussion, the council voted unanimously to make the changes as suggested. Gumble also informed the council that a recent Minnesota law allows residents to put up or bring in temporary housing on their lots for a relative suffering from a medical condition. She explained these temporary housing units (which could include RV’s and campers, or actual structures) would be approved for six months at a time, and could be renewed. She also stated that cities have the right to “opt out” of this for now, if the city’s decision is reached before the end of August. Some council members said this temporary housing is sometimes referred to as “granny pods.” They voiced concerns about how the city would determine if the person living in the “granny pod” was actually a relative or was actually suffering from a medical condition. There was also discussion about if a “granny pod” had water and sewer hookups but then later was removed, the hookups would be “just sticking up” in the yard. The council chose to schedule a special meeting for August 16 at 6 p.m. to discuss and decide what to do on this issue.

and said the lower priced unit would be sufficient for the city’s need. The council OK’d this purchase. Chief Mosher then gave a monthly police activity report. He said Uff Da Days went relatively smoothly. He told of dealing with reports of an aggressive dog in town, and he’s spoken with the homeowner involved. Mosher also talked about a homeowner in town who is “collecting a lot of stuff at his house” (including at least 30 vehicle tires) and said he’s surprised neighbors haven’t complained yet because it clearly creates a violation of the junk ordinance. Mosher said he sent a letter to the homeowner, who said it would get cleaned up, but hasn’t. He said he’s got another letter ready to go if/when the council directs him to mail it. The council approved the annexation of the Danny Ruud property as submitted, and OK’d the Wellhead Protection Plan, Part One. The council also discussed the Board of Appeals equitation versus Open Book, and decided to opt out of the equitation. The council tabled discussion of compliance with limited English proficiency requirements with Rural Development. The meeting adjourned about 8:15 p.m. The next meeting will be the special meeting on August 16 at 6 p.m. to discuss the “granny pods” situation.
from Bolton & Menk Engineering) then addressed the council about the proposed funding plan for Phase One of the city’s planned street and infrastructure improvements. Balata said the city qualifies for significant grants to help fund the project, and the county will foot a share of the bill, too. The remainder would be a loan from the USDA, to be paid back over forty years. For the water and wastewater portion of Phase One, she said the city would pay an interest rate of no higher than 1.625% and the yearly payments would be $31,582. Balata said the Community Facilities portion of Phase One would have the city taking a loan at a rate of 2.75%, with annual payments of $34,823 over twenty years. She also added that the agreement requires the city to put roughly $17,000 into reserve every year to pay for possible equipment needs related to the project. After discussion, the council voted unanimously to approve the funding agreement as described. It was also pointed out that the debt incurred by Phase One will likely allow the city to qualify for additional grant funding when Phase Two is initiated. Rick Whitney (PeopleServices) then informed the council that the city’s battery backup for the WWTP needs to be replaced. He gave two cost estimates for such equipment

C ommentary Personal praise for Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Preston By Betty Dowe I have to sing the praises of the Veterans Cemetery in Preston! I have never been to a military funeral, but have seen them on T.V. The ceremony my family and I Betty Dowe attended for my husband’s internment was beautiful and brought chills and tears! The staff there was so kind and helpful and made the event a celebration! We are blessed to have this cemetery in Preston, where my husband’s remains now rest. When the article first came out in the paper that there was going to be a Veterans Cemetery in Preston, Don said, “Someday I will be there!” And every
time we were on our way from Harmony to Mayo Clinic for doctor appointments he would say, “Do a good job - sometime in the future I will rest there!” There is a total of 169 acres with 34 acres beautifully landscaped and in use now. The first phase has 3,500 grave sites; the director, Rob Gross, said enough land for burials for next 50-100 years. The cemetery has a fulltime staff of six plus two more people for the summer. Veterans and spouses can be buried there, and my ashes will join Don’s one day. Right now there can be seven services a day MondayFriday, all year. The cemetery is open from dawn to dusk seven days a week. After Don died, his body was donated to Mayo Medical School in Rochester. A month later I met with the VA and preregistered for a funeral. They helped
One Moment, Please... By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com Have you ever done the wave? I’m not talking about the one in which you stand up and sit down in synchronicity with those in close proximity at a sporting event. I’m talking about the wave performed while in the Jason Sethre driver’s seat of your most common form of transportation. For quite a few years now, I’ve observed some unwritten rules of the wave -- a cultural Editorial Cartoon
phenomenon of our rural small town communities. Your vehicle Everyone is most commonly recognized by the vehicle they drive. So, as you approach a vehicle from 300 yards away, if it is someone you know, then you can prepare for the wave. I have never kept track, but I would estimate that I conduct anywhere from 25 to 50 waves per day. And, I’m pretty sure I wave to some of the same people anywhere from two to five times per day, as we cross paths regularly. But, I should mention that if you ever start driving a different vehicle, don’t expect to get a lot of waves. There is approximately a two month
me with all the legal details. Over a year later, we got his ashes back from Mayo. Then we could arrange a date for the family to get together for a formal funeral ceremony. The day of the funeral, the family was asked to arrive 15 minutes early and we were greeted by Sasha Holst. I signed necessary papers and handed over Don’s ashes. Sasha had contacted me several times the month before with information and answered my questions. I brought a flag, but it wasn’t the right size for folding and Rob had the right one for us. Sasha said she got to see pictures of Don in Boots and Badges and held up the book. “I feel I know him!” she said. (When the book was first started, I took pictures, etc. of Don in because I thought it was a GREAT Project! I gave copies to our children for birthdays. What a great history of the
wars and people in this area who served! So much care and time went into this wonderful book! Thank You!) Don was assigned grave 8A-21. I didn’t pay attention till later that our daughter’s birthday is on the 8th and mine is on the 21st; that is really food for thought!! We went outside and the van with the military escort caring Don’s ashes led the way to the covered shelter, followed by Father Joe Hennen and the family. When we got there, the military rscort (Army honor team from Minneapolis) brought the box with the ashes out and placed it on a stand in front of the benches. Father Joe gave a blessing, followed by the riffle volley and taps (VFW and Legion group from Lake City), which was beautiful! (There are 17 groups that volunteer one day a month.) Next was the folding of the flag, which was
grace period for everyone to recognize you as the driver of this different vehicle. The good thing, though, is that you are now associated with two vehicles that are wave-worthy should you choose to switch it up from day-to-day. Also, if someone else is driving one of the vehicles that you usually drive, please forewarn them of your proclivity to wave. If your substitute driver ignores friendly waves which you usually welcome, you may burn a few tires on the road. Wave types Some people do the index finger wave, barely ever leaving the steering wheel. Others will give you a full parade hand wave. And, then there are those who will only ever give you a nod. Finally, there are those who will never wave back at you.
And, that’s OK. Keep waving! They just need a little wave encouragement. Or, they could just be a tourist. Missed waves If I ever don’t wave back, I’m sorry. I may have been distracted by the scenery. But, it was not intentional. I’ve had a number of occasions in which I don’t notice someone is waving at me until after they are practically passing by my vehicle on the road. Unfortunately, my wave reflex isn’t as quick as it used to be. I promise, I’ll get you next time! Waves in bigger cities The wave doesn’t work in Rochester. Sometimes, I have been driving around Rochester, for example, and I think I recognize a vehicle, so I wave at the driver as if we know each other. They almost never wave back at me, and they usually look puzzled. This makes for an awkward moment that I forget about until the next time it happens. So, the wave isn’t very effective in Rochester, unless you have guaranteed evidence of a recognizable vehicle-driver combination -- in which case you are both surprised to see each other. Why do we wave? I have no idea how this started, and why we continue to do it. But, I suspect it is a way of acknowledging our friends on the road. In this week’s paper, Sgt. Troy Christianson addressed the issue of “road rage” in his Ask a Trooper feature. After you read his question and answer piece about aggressive drivers, think about how we’d all treat each other on the road if we knew each other like a friend. Please wave responsibly.
presented it to me with those famous words! “On Behalf of the President of the United States, etc.” Sasha then gave me with a black bag containing nine empty shells, and asked me to stop by the office whenever I came to visit Don. After that there was family time and special blessing of family momentums by Father Joe. Then the military escorts took the ashes to the van and escorted them to vault 8A-21 as we watched from the shelter on top of the hill. When the formal ceremony was over, we went down to view the vault where Don’s remains now resided. At last, the family had closure and Don’s wishes were fulfilled. The weather was perfect and the service was done with great perfection and caring! From a grateful wife, thanks to everyone involved in such a beautiful ceremony and God Bless all our Veterans, dead and alive!

C ommentary Meet Hillary By Eric Leitzen It’s been a crazy summer, hasn’t it? Unfortunately for my homestead, this summer has seen periods of large donations coming from the sky, and my grass has shot up accordingly. Now some of the longtime Eric Leitzen readers of this column may remember that last summer I named my old, trusty rotary mower “Bernie” in honor of the principled Vermont senator... but sometimes, things change and you have to bite the bullet. Sometimes, the field is too uneven, the sky donations come too heavy and too fast, and the lawn is overgrown with noxious, dangerous weeds (you

take the same amount of time. Hillary’s got a much more complicated machine than Bernie, and it’s much easier to break down or get clogged up with all that green stuff, and then again I have to stop and clean out all that green before I feel like she can move forward again. At this point, Hillary is only barely more expedient than Bernie at mowing the yard, and when you add in the cost of gas and pollution, it almost seems a better bet to sweat it out with Bernie. At least then, when you’re done, you feel accomplished instead of just annoyed. The truth is, I’ll be taking both Bernie and Hillary in for a sharpening once the season is over... probably sometime after November. Who knows, maybe if I get Bernie really sharp, really throw my support behind him, he can do a better job than Hillary at taking out those wispy, orange weeds. Sure, it’s a lot of
work, but that’s part of the reason I bought a house to begin with. It feels good to do the hard job and do it well, rather than load up on oil, belch out a smokescreen, and pray everything turns out all right in the end. I can tell you one thing, though... Hillary is a dangerous lawn mower. She’s almost completely unrestricted on her right side, and without putting something on there to regulate the shotgun blast of green, eventually a rock or something worse is going to come flying out of there and cause some real trouble. I’m sure I’ll never let my daughter use her, but, by the time Cindie’s old enough to be able to, I’m pretty sure we won’t still be using Hillary. I can only hope by the time, the lawn’s a little greener, a little stronger, and completely free of those noxious flowers with the tiny leaves.
know the ones: wispy, orange tops and tiny, tiny little leaves) and you’re just left with no choice but to go back to the garage and, with a sigh, pull out Hillary. Hillary is my gas-powered mower. She was left with the house when we bought it, so I just sort of inherited her from a previous generation. I have to keep putting money into Hillary in the form of gas and oil donations, or she won’t work. This, of course, makes her more of a polluter and almost prices her out of my range to afford, but sometimes I don’t have a choice. She may run on burning oil, but sometimes it’s the only way to make sure those poisonous weeds don’t threaten my family. One of the biggest issues with Hillary, though, is her ability to actually do the job I’m told she was meant for. For one thing, she doesn’t have the part on
the side that shoots the grass clippings away from you, so I often feel like Hillary just spreads everything everywhere, and when she does that some of it usually comes back to hurt me. I understand we’re trying to cover everything, but when I get grass thrown in my eye it makes me think twice. After all, I may be on the younger side, but I’m the one that’s going to be ostensibly driving her for some time to come. Also, because she’s an old hand-me-down from a previous generation, well... she’s just not as sharp as she used to be. Sometimes she just rolls over what should be a weed that should be given serious consideration, and I have to double back and wait patiently to finally fix the problem. Sometimes it gets so bad that I feel like I have to spend extra time going over the lawn twice, and if that’s the case, I might as well use Bernie and
Letter about Broadband Alliance Summit... To the Editor, In an effort to help make Fillmore County a more attractive place to live, work, and do business, the Fillmore County Economic Development Authority invites residents, businesses, and government representatives to a community forum to gather input and share ideas on how to improve high-speed internet access and speeds. Please join us from 3-5 p.m. on Wednesday, August 10 at F&M Community Bank in Preston, 100 Saint Anthony St. North. Access to faster internet opens new vistas in education, health care, small business, home business, agriculture, telecommuting, economic development, regional tourism, and much more. For example, moving from 70% to 80% of rural populations having broadband available means nearly doubling the rate of economic growth, according to a 2016 report from national economic development firm Camion Associates. Imagine streaming your favorite TV shows instantly and without concerns for data overages, or viewing an X-ray from your living room while chatting with your doctor. In Fillmore County, residents have less access to broadband internet than any other county in southeast Minnesota. Presentations at next week’s event will include the county’s Economic Development Authority, experts in rural broadband development, and local and regional providers. Event details are available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ broadband-alliance-summit-forbetter-connectivity-in-fillmorecounty-tickets-26600818765.

SMIF manages funds for 26 community foundations and 37 designated funds as part of its mission to encourage local community philanthropy in southern Minnesota. Community foundations, designated funds and donor-advised funds provide a vehicle for residents to make a long-term investment in their communities. “We know a key component to a thriving community is an active local community foundation,” says SMIF’s Development Coordinator Alissa Blaha. “Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for southern Minnesota’s small towns to raise and grant money towards local projects to increase local community philanthropy. SMIF provides technical and administrative assistance such as yearly filing with the IRS and board trainings and resources on any needed areas to free up the boards time to focus on what matters most: increasing the quality of life in their community.” SMIF serves as the legal 501(c)3 entity and fiscal agent for funds; provides start-up assistance, trainings for fund board members and networking opportunities, oversight and management of the funds; and ensures ethical and fiduciary responsibility in managing charitable contributions. In 1991, SMIF helped establish
its first Community Foundation (Watonwan County Community in Wannamingo and from there Foundation), and a grant to start has branched out to other com- a local farmers market (Madison munities in its 20-county region, Lake Area Community Foundafocusing smaller&communities 2x2,on2x4 2x8 ads tion). to run ONE TIME, the that don’t already have established “Southern Minnesota residents foundations such as Rochester or are generous people,” says SMIF CEO Tim Penny.

Genevieve Skree Genevieve Skree, 96, of La Crescent, Minn., died on Saturday, July 30, 2016, at Gundersen Health System in La Crosse, Wis. Genevieve was born on January 4, 1920, in Caledonia, Minn., to Anton and Mary (Kragness) Skree. She was raised in rural Caledonia and attended Badger Valley School and Houston High School. Genevieve later received her certificate as a licensed practical nurse. She worked as an LPN in Minneapolis, Minn., from the mid-1950s until her retirement in the mid-1980s. Genevieve loved traveling, sewing, knitting, cats, and going on long walks. She is survived by her sister, JoAnn Carlson of Houston; eleven nieces and nephews: Steve (Sue) Skree, Jerry (Jean) Skree, Mary Ann Dascher, Kathy Skree, Sherrie Conroy, Susan Skree, Jeff Skree, Jim Skree, Doug Skree, Deb (Tom) Stilin, and Gary (Marion) Skree; and by many great-nieces and nephews. Genevieve was preceded in death by three brothers: Gifford (Marjorie) Skree, Darrel (Shirley) Skree, and Robert Skree. A funeral service for Genevieve was held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, August 4, 2016, at Cross of Christ Lutheran Church in Houston, Minn., with the Rev. Leonard Liptack officiating. Visitation was held one hour prior to the service at the church. Burial took place in the Stone Church Cemetery. Hoff Funeral and Cremation Service in Houston assistiedt he family with arrangements.

he receives a lump sum payment based on years of service. The last increase of $200 was made in 2014. City administrator Joe Hoffman said this increase wouldn’t change the city’s contribution this year. However, if markets were to tank, it could cause a need for a mandatory contribution. SMMPA The Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency is the city’s wholesale electric provider. Hoffman pointed out that there was a joint meeting with Preston Public Utilities on May 10 about amending the SMMPA agency agreement. It has been unchanged since 1977. He expects the PPU will approve the amended agreement on August 9. Rochester and Austin are among the 18-member municipal utilities. Sixteen members have signed agreements to extend contracts through 2050. Rochester and Austin will end their memberships in 2030, but would like to jointly own some assets post 2030. They want the option to pursue their own generating sources and other purchasing options. The amended agreement presented allows for this arrangement. Councilman Robert Maust questioned whether this agreement is good for the rest of us. Hoffman said we don’t want to jeopardize any projects that are being built now; the costs are being shared by Rochester and Austin. A motion was approved to table this issue until more council members are present and
more information is provided. Other business in brief • An agreement with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension was approved. It allows the city’s police department and officers to access the Minnesota Criminal Justice Data and Communication Networks. The agreement was last approved in 2011 and needs to be approved every five years. • For many years the EDA has committed a portion of its development fund to the National Trout Center. Payments of $1,875 are made quarterly. The third quarter payment was approved. EDA housing incentives for Grooters, Grabau, and Throckmorton were approved. • EDA chairman Dwight Luhmann explained the EDA has recommended the city sell lots two and three in the Industrial Park for a total of $36,000 cash to Shamiah Womeldorf. He would be required to build within one year, act on the offer within 14 days, and close within 60 days. The price for the two lots is discounted since tax increment financing will not be available. A motion to make the offer was approved. • B & B revolving loan payments will be deferred until January 2017. A motion was approved to not waive tort limits. The tort limits give cities special protection by state statute. The city’s property, liability, and workers compensation insurance is through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. The tort limits are $500,000 per claimant and $1,500,000 per occurrence. The insurance provides coverage up to these limits.

D a r - Darrell D. rell Duane Thorson Thorson was born December 14, 1923 to Roosevelt “Bud” and Laura (Kohn) Thorson in Bennington Township. He attended and graduated from Grand Meadow High School in 1941 and went on to Winona State University, majoring in Sports and History. In March of 1945 he entered the United States Navy and served until October of 1946. Darrell’s sister introduced him to his future wife, Dolores Blazing, who he married on October 24, 1948 in Rochester. Together they lived in and around Ostrander, where Darrell owned the grocery store and meat and locker service. He eventually turned the store into the local tavern where people would come to socialize every day. Darrell was always able to strike up a conversation with anyone. Later in life he was a painter, which he did until he was 90-years-old. Darrell truly enjoyed spending time with his kids and grandkids. One of his greatest loves was softball and his Images Softball Team, he was inducted into the Minnesota Fast Pitch Hall of Fame in 1989. Darrell was also proud of the fact that he was able to go on the WWII Honor Flight. As Darrell’s health started to decline, his daughter, Jan and her husband, Ron were able to care for Darrell and Dolores until they moved into the Adams assisted Living Apartments in March of 2015. He is survived by his wife, Dolores of Adams, Minn.; three daughters: Nancy (Harlan) Olson of Chester, Iowa; Janis (Ron) Smalley of LeRoy, Minn.; and Judi (Jim) Bye of Cresco, Iowa; one son, Randy (Linda) Thorson of Pueblo, Colo.; nine grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, one great-
great-granddaughter, two sisters: Delores Phillips of Maple Grove, Minn.; and Glendora Root of Bloomington, Minn.; and a brother, Richard Thorson of Spring Valley, Minn. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Norman, and two brothers-in-law and a sister–in–law. Services were held 11 a.m. Monday, August 1, 2016 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ostrander, Minn., with the Rev. Herman Bakker officiating. Burial took place in the Ostrander Cemetery.

Kingsland to put facility referendum on ballot By Rich Wicks August 3, a special meeting of the Kingsland School Board was held to consider the operational costs associated with the facility options being proposed. All board members were present (Doug Plaehn, Deb Larson, Kristin Beck, Troy Asher, Gwen Howard and Ann Oeltjen, along with Superintendent John McDonald). McDonald thanked the staff and others who helped compile the data being reviewed. McDonald then shared some explanation about the numbers presented. He said the utility costs were calculated using
a three-year average, whereas maintenance and equipment were based on ten-year averages, using industry standards for cost and replacement values. The data outlined present costs, along with estimates of the operational costs for the six options being considered. There were three original options, which can be summarized as: 1) closing the Wykoff school and bringing all students to the Spring Valley campus, 2) repairing current facilities, and 3) removing portions of the Wykoff facility and building some space back on. Each of these three options had a

sub-option in which the vacant ALCO building would be used as well. The ALCO options were designated as 1B, 2B, and 3B. Overall, the spreadsheet showed Option 1A as the most affordable, needing only $1581 in additional operating costs, compared to the present costs. Option 2A showed a need for an additional $397,898 in operational costs, and 3A showed $325,075. The “B” options were roughly $80,000 higher than the “A” options. McDonald explained the spreadsheet shows that each of the options has differing costs for utilities, maintenance and
equipment. He said there are also differing deductions and additions for each option, such as the transportation deduction of $27,151 shown for options 1A and 1B. Mr. Klomps explained, “We went through all of the mileage sheets for the last year and looked at any trips to Wykoff, whether it was van, bus or shuttle or anything, plus sporting events.” Gwen Howard asked about the costs of transporting students to and from St. John’s. Klomps said that had was not yet factored in, and would be approximately $6,936 in additional costs for options 1A and 1B. Ann Oeltjen stated her opinion that she doesn’t like the

“B” options because of the heavy traffic in front of the ALCO building, which she pointed out is a safety issue. McDonald also pointed out that options 1A and 1B would give the additional 30 minutes of educational time per day which students in grades 4, 5 & 6 currently miss out on due to the transportation schedule. Gwen Howard asked if the breakfast and lunch schedules would work in Options 1A, with so many more students being fed all at one site. McDonald shared feedback from the Food Service staff, and he read from an email stating that the equipment and See KINGSLAND Page 13

the district assessing the buildings and the energy usage. At the end of their time in Houston, they had a comprehensive list of maintenance and energy issues that needed to be addressed,” stated Abraham. From there, the school board’s facilities committee, finance director, transportation and grounds supervisor, building supervisor, and district leadership worked to ensure improvements fit the district’s vision and budget. The district was hampered a

bit by a waiting for July 1, the start of the fiscal year, to begin work. “We could do demolition and preparation prior to that date, but that really put us behind the proverbial eight ball to get everything done before the first day of school,” said Abraham. “Things are really moving now, and all the contractors are telling me that we will be done on time. Another challenge is the challenge that is inherent in any remodeling project on an older building: unexpected issues when walls are disturbed. With this project the contractors have been told

that any issue uncovered is going to be addressed since we don’t want future school boards to deal with issues that should have been fixed earlier.” “We have needed to reroof the elementary building for years and we also needed to replace the heating system. Some of the items have been on the list of needed improvements for over a decade, such as the gym bleachers,” added Abraham. “The biggest change is that the state is finally providing the funding to complete the maintenance that we knew we needed to do but didn’t know how we were going to fund.” The Houston School District is fortunate to have steady or slightly increasing onsite enrollment, with 436 students in the 2015-2016 school year. The district had a full-time enrollment of 1,500 due to added enrollment from its online school. The project is being financed by a ten-year bond. According to Abraham, the Long-Term Facility Maintenance program is equalized at 123% of state average Adjusted Net Tax Capacity per district - with 50% of Ag Land used for equalization purposes. This exempts some districts, but 215 out of 332 do qualify, including Houston Public Schools.
underway. Again, the district is aiming to have the improvements completed before the start of the school year. “The staff at Houston Public Schools and the community of Houston have been wonderful. They have been helpful, flexible and encouraging. The people from Unesco have also been wonderful support,” added Abraham. “The mission of Houston Public Schools is to discover, develop and achieve the potential within all learners. We take care of those things that have been entrusted to us, whether it is the students, the staff or the buildings, and we want to do everything in our power to make sure the potential that exists within each is nurtured and supported. We are teaching 21st Century skills without letting the foundational skills necessary for success slip to the wayside. Just like our buildings, we are taking the best of the past and working to ensure we are poised to remain the best in the future.”
Piggybacking on the maintenance project, the district also put in motion an Energy Saving Project. It includes LED lighting, energy-efficient water fixtures, control adjustments, and tuck pointing and envelope sealing on the facilities. Some additional improvements were sidelined if they didn’t warrant the cost of the improvement. “In each case we looked at the payback to see if the improvement would be able to pay for itself in 10-15 years,” said Abraham. “With the Certificate of Participation bond we secured, the goal is to have the savings pay for the bond within ten years. With the savings we have already seen at the high school after the LED lights were installed, we have every reason to believe that we will achieve our goal.” Installation related to the Energy Saving Project began in November 2015. Some portions of the project were put on hold until the Long-Term Facility Maintenance projects were

staffing levels are designed to be able to serve up to 1,000 students. Howard suggested having town hall meetings to share information about the options and costs. Deb Larson and Ann Oeltjen shared their opinions that it was time to make a decision with the data available. A citizen spoke up, stating, “I feel that the community elected you guys as board members to make those decisions for us… I think it’s gone on long enough, and it’s time to stand up for what you believe in.” After discussion about the time constraints in sending forth any referendum, and an assurance from Tom Leimer (Knutson Construction) that required documentation can be submitted in time to meet deadlines for a referendum on the November ballot, Doug Plaehn made a motion to have an operational referendum and building referendum for Option 1A. The motion passed on a 4-2 vote. The meeting adjourned about 7:40 p.m.

Lanesboro prepares for street repair project in 2017 By Hannah Wingert Brian Malm from Bolten & Menk, Inc. presented a preliminary engineering report to the Lanesboro City Council at their August meeting. The project would impact Auburn Avenue, Circle Drive, and Zenith Street. The report looked at the area’s existing conditions, proposed improvements, assessments, costs, and more. Currently, there is no curb and gutter, the asphalt is in poor condition with lots of cracking, and instead of storm sewers, the area has five general discharge locations for water run-off. The sewer line in most of the area is a 40-50-year-old vitrified clay pipe in poor condition that needs to be replaced except for Zenith Street, which has 20-year-old PVC pipe that is still in good shape. The water main on Auburn Avenue actually has two pipes, one ductile iron pipe that is 30-years-old and one 50-year-old cast iron pipe. In the report, Malm recommended abandoning the cast iron pipe.

The proposed improvements include 36 foot wide asphalt paving which would allow for parking on both sides. Concrete curb and gutter with driveway aprons and perforated tile for the pavement subdrain were also included. The council asked whether a sidewalk had been considered, but Malm said that would it raise the cost substantially. To save money, the street can be narrowed to 28-feetwide in no parking zones. The plan also involved reducing the number of outlets where water runs off the road onto private property which would mean lowering the roadway. The vitrified clay pipe and sanitation sewer would be replaced. The project would be coordinated with the natural gas and electric companies and communications companies such as cable, phone, and internet. The total cost of the project, which would begin in 2017, is estimated to be $2,375,100. Malm offered the council two options for assessments. The first was for 35% of the project costs to be covered by assessments, with the remaining 65% by the city. However, that would result in high costs to the residents. The second option was a 20/80 split for assessments and city responsibility, which would be more reasonable for the property owners. Malm also presented the council with the possibility of narrowing the street width from
36-feet-wide to 28, at a savings of $110,000. The conclusion of the report was that the proposed improvements are necessary, cost-effective, and feasible to the City of Lanesboro. The council approved a resolution supporting the feasibility of the project. Mike Bubany from David Drown Associates gave a capital improvement plan presentation to the council and the Public Utilities Commission. The plan presented worst case scenarios were the city to take on certain improvement projects such as the street project that Bolten & Menk is working to engineer. Bubany was able to plug in different numbers and scenarios to show the council what they could be facing, along with options for more cost-effective ways to complete projects. The council did not take action on the report, but will continue to review it. As an EDA representative, Elaine Edwards asked the council for their support as the EDA moves forward with the concept plan written for the City of Lanesboro by Randall Arendt. The EDA is in the process of forming a seven member task force which will consult with individuals and associations for a period of three months before presenting a plan of action to the city council. The task force will also report to the EDA monthly to update them on their progress. Council member Jason
Resseman voiced his concerns over the fact that half of the proposed members are not residents of Lanesboro. Edwards assured him that the EDA had selected the individuals based on their particular skill sets and affiliation with Lanesboro. The council approved the formation of the task force. The council approved a fireworks permit for Buffalo Bill Days. In prior years, the fireworks have been set off from the bluff, but due to a complaint received, they will be set off from the high school football field instead this year. A public hearing was held for the 2016 sidewalk assessments. Three properties on Fillmore Avenue South, two on Kenilworth Drive, and one on Beacon Street will be affected by the sidewalk repairs and assessments. A resident who will have to pay for some of those assessments asked why her sidewalks in particular were chosen over others that are in worse condition. City maintenance director Andy Drake said that since there’s a limited budget to repair sidewalks each year, they are only able to do a certain amount. The city had been on a schedule for which sidewalks they would repair each year, but stopped five years ago. The sidewalks set to be fixed this summer were picked up where the schedule left off. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 6th at 5:30 pm.
Mabel Clinic recognized for diabetes care The Minnesota Health Action Group (The Action Group) announced that Winneshiek Medical Center’s Mabel Clinic is among 276 Minnesota and border state clinics that were recently recognized for improving care delivery and outcomes for patients with diabetes, as part of the 2016 Minnesota Bridges to Excellence program and the Quality Incentive Payment System, a State of Minnesota payfor-performance program that is administered by The Action Group. Winneshiek Medical Center’s Mabel Clinic was recognized for improving patient outcomes for diabetes care by at least 10 percentage points in the last year. “Our Mabel Clinic staff does an outstanding job of providing quality care to the Mabel region,” says Lisa Radtke, chief administrative officer for Winneshiek Medical Center. “Our mission is to be a lifelong health care partner and recognition such as this is another example of why our patients can place their trust in the care we provide.” “We made a commitment to the health care needs of the region when we expanded Mabel Clinic by adding providers and extending hours of service and, most recently, with a renovation of the facility,” says Dave Rooney, WMC operations administrator. “This award really showcases the

Additionally, Mabel Clinic provides DOT exams and care for work-related injuries. The Minnesota Bridges to Excellence program uses publicly reported outcomes data to identify clinics that meet or exceed optimal care standards for a specified percentage of patients with diabetes, vascular disease and depression. “Clinics that receive rewards are doing an exceptional job in caring for their patients, and we applaud them for their commitment and results,” said Carolyn Pare, president and CEO of The Action Group. “Our aspiration is for all Minnesotans to receive the right care, at the right time and at the right price. This can only be achieved through genuine collaboration on behalf of providers, patients, purchasers, and other community stakeholders.” About Winneshiek Medical Center

socialscenes A View From The Woods By Loni Kemp ©SallyKeating2011
Up to the cabin Shortly before my husband and I met forty years ago, his parents bought a little island on a big lake up north. I started visiting the cabin with him, and, like the rest of the family, we all grew to love this particular place on earth. We were delighted with the Northwoods atmosphere that we had both come to treasure as we
had each developed passions for canoe trips in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The idea of paddling across a crystal clear lake towards a pine-studded rocky island was alluring. I have to admit that having a roof over our heads at night seemed like a very pleasant way to

enjoy the wilderness, compared to lying on the hard ground in a tent. Our cabin has not changed much since it was built in the 1930s. It remains a simple rustic cabin, with many places to sleep, a stone fireplace, and old-fashioned windows that swing inward to welcome the view from all sides. It has never had electricity or running water, and we like to keep it that way. You might wonder how up to a dozen people could stay on this three acre island without modern conveniences, but we have it figured out. A propane tank runs a little refrigerator and a gas stove, as well as gas lights that lend a cozy atmosphere in the evenings. It’s fun to be up there in the fall, when the big barge carrying a propane truck makes its way around the lake to refill the tanks for dozens of island cabins. Until last year, we had a hand pump in the kitchen to bring lake water up to the sink for washing. We have now skipped over normal plumbing systems and joined the future, with a solar-powered pump and propane instant water heater. There seem to be more willing volunteers for dish washing now. We will continue our weekly boat rides to a nearby artesian spring of shockingly cold and pure drinking water. Naturally, the expectation is that one should jump in the lake every day, but a hot shower is under development using solar power. Modern composting toilets allow us to manage human waste without any water pollution whatsoever. Every cabin family develops its own cabin culture, choosing vacation activities that suit them best. Our family likes long, leisurely meals with far-reaching conversations. We all like to go our separate ways to read. The call of the loon or a faraway wolf pack never ceases to delight. Evening games of contract rummy, or long slow pontoon boat rides are traditional. Some like to fish, some paddle kayaks or wooden canoes, and others go ashore to hike the woodland trails or check out the shops in Ely. As much as I love my home here in Bluff Country, what draws me away for the long trek north? Aside from family time and the beauty of the place, it is the simpler life at the cabin. An island cabin brings a chance to chill in another exquisite and unique place on earth. It is the letting go of tasks and schedules. No lawn or garden to tend, no TV, no work, nothing planned. It takes a few days to catch the rhythm, but when one finally realizes that a whole day passed doing “nothing,” then you have really started to live cabin life. Our generation remains devoted to the cabin and all it stands for. The third generation who grew up coming to the cabin, along with their spouses, and now even the fourth generation of little ones are all committed to partaking in cabin life at “The Island.”

2017 County budgeting By Karen Reisner At the August 2 meeting of the county board, several department heads reviewed their proposed 2017 budgets comparing them to 2016. All departments are figuring a possible 7% increase in health insurance rates and a 2.5% cost of living wage increase in their budgets. Terry Schultz, building maintenance, noted that a part-time position had been eliminated and replaced with a full-time position, showing an increase in his 2017 budget. He also budgeted funds to purchase a new carpet cleaner for both buildings. Schultz listed infrastructure improvements that will need to be considered in 2017, including some cement work, updating of some equipment in the county office building, and software updates. He spoke of a 10 year plan for maintenance that includes tuckpointing, parking lot improvements, a new roof on the county office building, and possible improvements to
outlying county shops. Commissioner Duane Bakke asked what county program aid (CPA) is expected, noting there wasn’t a tax bill this last legislative session? County coordinator Bobbie Vickerman said CPA will actually increase about $60,000 over last year. She maintained CPA affects us the most and reductions in CPA have hurt us the most in past years. Bakke suggested the CPA increase is a result of some decrease in land values. Surveyor Jeff Brand stated his proposed budget has increased just $800 from last year. Dave Kiehne, county recorder, attributed most of his budget changes to adjustments in salaries and health insurance. While discussing the geographic information systems budget, Kiehne said he has discussed replacement of street signs with county engineer Ron Gregg. Some street signs are starting to fade after 12-13 years. Kiehne suggested that the budget item to replace signs be moved to the
Highway Department. Chairman Marc Prestby wants there to be an inventory completed, to determine what signs need to be replaced. By consensus, the board agreed to move the street sign replacement budget item to Highway. Zoning Administrator Cristal Adkins said her department’s proposed budget was close to last year’s. She noted that $28,000 additional grant money has been received from the Pollution Control Agency for septic systems of low income property owners. Feedlot officer Mike Frauenkron noted some software expenses had been added for Pictometry.

Areas required to be buffered can be in compliance if in hay, CRP, RIM (reinvest in Minnesota reserve) program, or in permanent pasture. Bakke explained they will have to decide by the end of March 2017 if they, the county board, want to take on enforcement. At this time he didn’t see any reason the board would want to get involved in direct enforcement. He expects most land owners will come into compliance fairly easily. • An invoice in the amount of $4,612.38 to ProWest & Associates for dispatch updates of 911 equipment, which was installed this last April at the Sheriff’s Office, is to be paid entirely out of 911 funds or to the extent the equipment installation qualifies for 911 funding.

Chatfield Fire Department to be honored with parade By Barb Jeffers As the City of Chatfield prepares for its annual celebration, Western Days, there are many fun and exciting things to look forward to. This year there will be an extra meaningful event
with an additional parade on the Sunday of the celebration weekend to honor the 125th anniversary of the Chatfield Fire Department. A spokesperson for the Western Days Committee explained
that there was a parade held for the CFD 100-year anniversary. The committee inquired as to whether the fire department would be holding a parade for their 125-year anniversary during Western Days being held
August 11-14, 2016. As the fire department has other commitments during the busy weekend, they had no one to organize a parade to recognize the CFD anniversary, so the Western Days committee volunteered as a group to “host a parade in their honor,” says a committee spokesperson. The parade will take place Sunday, August 14 at 1 p.m. The parade route will begin at Second Street by Olmsted Medical Center up to Main Street then will turn right at Sixth Street ending up near Olmsted Medical Center again. Area fire departments have been invited, as well as collectors and those interested in antiques. The committee hopes to have fire trucks and equipment spanning through the years, from antique to today’s modern trucks. There is no registration needed for those who would like to take part and entrants can just show up the day of the parade. The committee spokesperson said, “We have no idea how many entries there will be,” since there is no registration required. Any fire trucks that join the parade and would like to stay in Chatfield awhile to visit with friends or grab a bite to eat are welcome to park on the road behind the city park, which is Twiford Street. The Chatfield Fire Department does so much for the community aside from heroically fighting

fires, and has since 1891, so the Western Days committee feels the fire department deserves recognition and appreciation, which is why they volunteered their time to host the parade. The Chatfield Fire Department will also be celebrating their 125 years of service on Friday, August 12, 2016 with a dance at the fire department. Music will be provided by Nite Shift from 6 11 p.m. and there is no charge to get into the dance. The event is for ages 21 and over and tap beer will be available to purchase from 7 - 11 p.m., according to the departments facebook page facebook.com/cfd472. Plan on attending one or both events which will honor the local heroes on the Chatfield Fire Department - both past and present. Let them know how much you appreciate their service and sacrifice. And if you are not able to make it to either event, take time to say thank you next time you see them. Be sure to enjoy all of the events scheduled for Western Days including Mutton Bustin’ for kids, Wit’s End Theatre’s production of Disney - The Little Mermaid, kiddie parade, TNT Youth Carnival, grand parade, Classic Car, Truck & Antique Motorcycle Show, musical entertainment for youth and adults, sports tournaments and much more with a Fireworks Finale on Sunday evening.

Rushford Village considers Tiny House Ordinance By Kirsten Zoellner A swift August 2 Rushford Village Council meeting, with Mayor Pro tem Dennis Overland at the helm, sorted out several items of continuing discussion and hit at a new ordinance from Tom Manion the state geared towards the Tiny House Movement. According to City Attorney Tom Manion, the new state ordinance is aimed to allow for temporary residence on a property for those helping care for someone with a medical impairment. The state issued an optout clause for cities wanting to determine their own governing ordinance for the matter. Cities who do not wish to opt-out will have automatic inclusion for the new rules. Manion noted that regulations on length of occupancy and the structures themselves can be dealt with if the city constructs its own ordinance.
The council will have to honor any applications that come in between the state’s adoption of the rule and approval of any new city ordinance. Manion stated the risk of a challenge while minor, is possible. The city will need to post the plans for a new ordinance, falling under zoning, and hold a public hearing before it could be approved. Either way, the city ordinance or the state ordinance will be in place by September 1. The council opted to post plans and hold a public hearing for the ordinance at the next meeting before making any final determination. In other news, the council reaffirmed its July 5 decision to not continue with an arrangement with Root River Yoga for use of the Village Hall. The arrangement came about in 2015 and allowed Root River Yoga owner Amanda Griggs to rent the facilities for a reduced amount. According to the council, Griggs was to pay $50 per quarter. At the time that Mayor Gordon Johnson spoke with Griggs last month, Overland noted that payment was behind
for April-June. Griggs paid the city the remainder of 2016 at the time of her conversation with Johnson. “It’s a commercial business, not a non-profit. I know it’s a kind of fledgling, new business opportunity, but it was supposed to be a temporary trial,” stated Overland of the arrangement. “If we open the door to this, we open the door to what else?” asked Councilor Rich Smith. “On the other side, it’s good to try and help a small business start out.” “And we did that,” added Overland. “This is a community building and we don’t want to interfere with a commercial building that could be rented out.” Attorney Manion indicated that state statute prohibits donations from cities to businesses or gifts as a type of business subsidy. “It’s nominal, but it’s a partial gift.” Manion went on to note that municipal entities can work with other nonprivate entities for situations like this and suggested perhaps Root River Yoga work with the school district to arrange classes and
Recycling 101
What did all these people bring to us? We collected 16 large containers of paint cans that amounted to the equivalent of approximately 2,200 full or partially filled gallon cans. That is a lot of unwanted paint. In October of 2014, we collected 14 large containers that contained nearly 2,000 gallons. That was from 270 households. We also used twenty seven, 55-gallon drums to package rodent poison, outdated fuel, antifreeze, ant poison, aerosol cans, herbicides, insecticides, lawn and garden fertilizers, household cleaners, oven cleaners, batteries, and mystery items. One lonely mercury thermometer was donated. I am sure there are a few more floating around out there. We want every last one of them. A word or two concerning “mystery items.” This cannot be repeated too many times. We get quite a few containers of liquids and solids that have been stored on basement shelves for years and nobody knows where they came from or what they are. If you bring us a mystery substance, and you should really get rid of it, pack it carefully in a box or pail to keep it
from tipping or spilling. Please tell us that you don’t know what it is so we can process it safely. Do not attempt to open it to smell of it. Just bring it. If you bring a container that contains something other than what is on the label, whether you know what it is or not, we want to know that pinkish yellow stuff in that milk jug is not milk. On a different note, here are a couple things to ponder. According to a report released by the World Economic Forum and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the ocean contains over 150 million metric tons of plastic. If no action is taken to clean this up, there will most likely be more plastic in the ocean than fish by the year 2050. This is not a pleasant thought.
By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator The Fillmore County Resource Recovery Center held its spring Household Hazardous Waste Day on May 3, 2016. Please allow me to share some results of this event as well as some information you may find useful when LaVerne C. you attend Paulson f u t u r e HHW days where you can get rid of a lot of nasty stuff that seems to be lurking about in your house, garage, or shed. This was one of the best attended HHW days in the past ten years. One hundred sixtysix vehicles brought hazardous waste from 271 Fillmore County households. There were many times during the day where perhaps 20 vehicles were waiting to be unloaded.

that the district could rent the space at a reduced, long-term type rate. “Our price [for rental] is our price. We can’t subsidize a business,” concluded Overland. “Basically, it’s illegal for us to do it,” added Councilor Chad Rasmussen. The council thanked members of the public for speaking in support of the Root River Yoga and noted it would be willing for the business to rent the Village Hall space at the normal rental rate. The council also reviewed bids for trash collection. Four bids were received and will continue with Harter’s Quick Clean Service. The city has had no complaints with the service and after reviewing the highs and lows of bid differences, it appeared Harter’s was the low bidder overall. Company representatives Gary Harter and Jeff Holmquist noted that some minor changes have alleviated problems from past years, including driver problems with Village roadways, and agreed to better communication with the city in regards to vehicle or snow delays and any rescheduling of pickup. The council made no action on a quote received for a Honda motor-powered spray unit for
maintaining roadsides. Coming in at $3,725, it was noted the unit would save the city much time and would likely pay for itself quickly. However, there is no funds budgeted for the purpose and the city would need to sell a CD to pay for it. “If we don’t have the money to buy it this year, we don’t do it,” stated Councilor Rasmussen. “We’d save money though by having our own sprayer and stuff would look a lot better.” City Treasurer Judy Graham noted the city will need to likely sell a CD anyway. “By October, we’re going to need to sell something to keep up. We won’t make it until December.” Councilor Overland suggested putting the CD in reserves and budgeting for the sprayer next cycle. In the meantime, Public Works/Maintenance Supervisor Travis Scheck will look at the costs of the chemicals needed. Scheck indicated he wouldn’t need a pesticide applicator’s licensing to use the unit, but that he was thinking of getting one anyway so there is no questions. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, August 16, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
