Revolving loan approved for Preston Dairy and Farm By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com

City administrator/utility general manager Joe Hoffman explained the earlier commitment made by Preston Public Utilities (PPU) to Preston Dairy and Farm at the city council’s August 3 meeting. Mayor Kurt Reicks and councilman David Harrison were absent. Hoffman said that the PPU had agreed to provide discounted financing for a portion of their considerable expansion. The PPU had intended to use the USDA sponsored Rural Economic Development Loan and

Hoffman said the terms of the REDLG loan changed over time and there is inadequate funding for all of the applicants to USDA. Therefore, the PPU has proposed the EDA issue the loan to Preston Dairy and Farm. The PPU intends to make an interfund loan to the EDA of $100,000, at 0% interest, over 10 years, with one payment per year. Payments will come back to the PPU.

County state aid down again for 2016 By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com

County coordinator Bobbie Vickerman at the board’s August 4 meeting reported that the state is reducing county program aid to Fillmore County by about another $76,735. This reduction is on top of the $140,000 reduction that was made last year. More department heads including assessor Cindy Blagsvedt, building maintenance supervisor Terry Schultz, feedlot officer Mike Frauenkron, and interim zoning administrator Cristal Adkins presented their preliminary budgets. Budget requests were increased

mostly due to increases in personnel expenses and/or building maintenance expenses. These early budgets generally include the worst case for expenses. Building maintenance expenses are expected to include $35,000 for tuck pointing for both the jail and county office building, along with some cement work. A rough estimate of $40,000 to deal with maintenance issues of county shops was discussed. Vickerman noted that there is a difference of opinion of what needs to be done with the shops.

The local businesses are great supporters and sponsors of Buffalo Bill Days, so thank them when you stop in. A Golf Tournament took place throughout the weekend, as golfers could play 18 holes of golf anytime beginning Friday at 5 p.m. to Sunday at 12 p.m., making it convenient for those who wanted to participate. The band “Trouble Shooter” got the crowd singing and dancing in front of the fire hall to end the first day of festivities. R & M Amish Tours provided sober shuttle rides both Friday and Saturday nights. The “Buffalo Roam” started

bright and early Saturday morning with a lot of runners participating in either the 5K or the 1 mile stretch of the Root River State Trail. Stacy WilhelmHrtanek and volunteers were kept very busy registering participants and keeping track of finishing times. Isabella Gossman, 14, and her sister Amelia, 10, from Rochester, Minn. ran with Eliza Kos, 13, of Apple Valley, Minn. and the three girls laughed and had fun while running with each other. Top finishers in the 5K were Andy Hymdahl, of Pilot Mound, Minn., with a time of 18:02 and Daniel Arini, from Ohio, with a time of 18:04. In the 1 mile, the top two were Luke Ruen with a time of 7:33 and Brielle Ruen with a time of 7:53. Congratulations to all who participated! As the Softball Tournament continued, the Volleyball Tournament got underway Saturday morning. All of the teams competing over the weekend were lucky to have great weather.

as the Market Place and Farmer’s Market opened on Saturday, with interesting items at different vendor booths. Many types of food could be found in the park, as well, including cheese curds, onion rings, sweet corn, pork sandwiches, and much more. Music in the gazebo by the “Root River Jam Band” and the “Arnold Bradley Band” was enjoyed not only by those in the park, but also the people playing in the Bean Bag Tournament in the Community Center parking lot. The Kid’s Carnival, with several bouncy houses, and the Petting Zoo were big hits with the children, as both areas were full of kids both Saturday and Sunday. Commonweal Theatre invited the public to a second presentation of “Woody Guthrie’s American Song” as well as “Charley’s Aunt” on Saturday. The band “Next 2 Nothing” rocked the parking lot near the community center and a fireworks display provided added entertainment to round out Saturday evening. Sunday was another day full of activities for those of any age. An Ecumenical service was held in Sylvan Park in the morning followed by a Chicken BBQ near the community center and Bingo under a shelter. The “Cannon Old West Society” put on a great show for the crowd gathered in the town square who came to watch the bank get “robbed” in the morning and again in Sylvan Park

Call the FCJ at 507-765-2151 to advertise or offer news tips! in the afternoon, as there was a “shootout” between the good guys and the bad guys near the gazebo. The Grand Parade brought those from near and far to line the main street of Lanesboro to watch as legion members, the LHS band, floats, motorcycles, horses, fire trucks and much more went by, many of which threw out treats of one kind or another to happy kids. The Grand Marshals, Jon and Barb Willford and Mike and Laura Willford, seemed as though they were trying to soak it all in as they smiled, waved, and said hello to many familiar faces along the parade route. According to Buffalo Bill Days committee member Lori Bakke, the Willford’s were chosen as Grand Marshals because their business, VIS Plumbing and

Heating, has been in business for 50 years and “is a continued asset” to the town and also because of “all they have given back to the community” of Lanesboro. Following the parade, many children participated in the Kid’s Pedal Pull at the basketball court and received free train rides through the park. Music could once again be heard in and around the park as “Raven’s Fire” played in the gazebo and the Beer & Brat Tent hosted a DJ and Karaoke as Buffalo Bill Days 2015 came to a close. Each year the town of Lanesboro, just as many towns in Fillmore County, is lucky enough to have a great group of volunteers that work many hours together to give others a three day weekend they can look forward to all year.

Lanesboro ambulance crew receives two AEDs By Hannah Wingert The Lanesboro City Council met on August 3 at 5:30 p.m. for their regular meeting. All council members were present. Council member Tom Dybing reported that the lights for the library mural have been installed. He said that it looks nice, and the mural is very well lit. Deane Benson was present at the meeting to give the report from the ambulance crew. The department has received the last two AEDs from the state, and they will be installed in the bank near the ATM machine and at Bethlehem Church. He’s still waiting for stickers to arrive to place outside both locations to notify people of the presence of an AED. Benson has had several questions about whether the ambulance crew is separate from the fire department. He verified that the two are separate departments. He reported that the ambulance has gone on 47 calls in 2015, which is average. Public Utilities Director Theresa Coleman said that she is in the process of having a street condition report drawn up at no cost to the city. The council was happy to hear the news. City worker Jerod Wagner reported that Pollution Control has passed a bill restricting diesel engine emissions even further. Up until now, he could run the engines up to 100 hours a year, but now is only allowed 50 hours a year. This bill affects many communities in the United

States, not just Lanesboro. Wagner is fairly certain that the newer engine of the two can be retrofitted to meet standards which would allow unlimited use. Shirley Moulder presented the Chamber of Commerce monthly report. The chamber launched a digital version of the visitor’s guide on July 15, which is available for viewing on computers and mobile devices. The city maps have been updated. The Chamber paid for an ad for the City of Lanesboro in the 2016 Explore Minnesota travel guide. Council member Jason Resseman inquired about the schedule for watering the hanging baskets on Main Street. He pointed out that many of them are in need of more watering, and several look so bad that they should be taken down. Moulder agreed to look into the matter. Jerod Wagner gave the report from the Fire Department. Only one call was received in the last month, and it was an electrical problem, not a fire. He mentioned that quite a few of the firefighters need the Hepatitis B vaccine. City Administrator David Todd said that he has spoken to the Public Health department, who is willing to come to a location in Lanesboro and administer the vaccines to the firefighters. Wagner noted that all city workers should be sure that they are up to date on the vaccine. The fire department’s infrared camera has failed and is no longer usable. The crew is currently using a demo camera, but needs

to replace their own as soon as possible. Wagner priced out several models and was able to find one for approximately $8000 with a five year warranty. He also pointed out that several air tanks need to be replaced at the cost of $800 apiece. The budget for new equipment currently has a balance of $18,000 and will cover the costs of the infrared camera and the air tanks. The council approved the purchases. The fire department currently has one vacancy. Wagner recommended applicant Mark Lawstuen to fill the spot, which the council approved. He noted that there will be several more vacancies opening up at the end of the year. Todd reported that the bicycle template is in and the signs on the sidewalks will be repainted in the next week, weather permitting. Lanesboro Public Utilities had previously voted to begin a “round-up” program. Todd spoke with Tri-County Electric’s public relations department about the wording that should be used on the notification that will be sent out to Lanesboro residents. TriCounty pointed out that using the opt-out format could raise some problems. Todd also asked the Preston City Administrator, Joe Hoffman, for details on their round-up program. Hoffman said that Preston uses an opt-in format and that only about 10% of residents choose to participate. The program raises about $300$400 a year and he estimates that

Lanesboro’s revenue would be even lower than that as it has a smaller population. Todd pointed out to the council that, since Lanesboro is planning to offer an opt-out option to residents, they can expect to have more participation than 10%. The money raised would go towards building a new ambulance shed. He will let the utilities department know what he found out. Lanesboro business owner Kathy Kasten was present at the meeting to inform the council of the Leadership Summit she put together. She invited the leaders of the Lanesboro organizations and businesses to come together to share their knowledge and support each other with a shared vision of Lanesboro’s future. They have held three meetings so far, which have been a success. Resseman asked how many of the attendees were Lanesboro residents. Kasten didn’t have the exact number, but assured him that most of them were residents, and the few who weren’t had a vested interest in Lanesboro, such as the director of the Commonweal Theatre. Resseman noted that while he appreciates what Kasten is doing, he was disappointed that this was the first he’d really heard of the meetings. Kasten pointed out that the group is in its infancy stages and that communication will improve. In the future, she will put together a quarterly summary for the council to review. The 2015-2016 Safety Management Program Contract was renewed. Todd noted that this contract keeps the city on the good side of OSHA.

Council member Tom Smith spoke to Lanesboro School Superintendent Jeff Boggs about the possibility of building an ambulance shed near the bus shed on the school’s property. Boggs thought it was a good idea and said that the school may even be willing to donate the land to the city. Smith will set up a meeting to discuss the matter further. The EDA has an open spot available. The city will advertise to fill the vacancy. Council member Autumn Johnson asked if it would be possible to send a letter to business owners requesting that they and their employees refrain from parking on Main Street. She also noted that deliveries need to be made through the back door of businesses to avoid the safety issue of having trucks parked in the middle of the street. Todd will type up a letter to send out. The council reviewed the early draft of the 2016 budget. The meeting was adjourned and the next meeting will be held on September 8, 2015 at 5:30 p.m., due to the Labor Day holiday.

C ommentary Our broken system By Karen Reisner Former Congressmen Martin Frost (D) and Tom Davis (R) have authored the book, The Partisan Divide: Congress in Crisis. Both men consider themselves to be moderate, an endangered Karen Reisner species in Washington. The book looks at the roots of the dysfunction that has paralyzed today’s Congress. They offer suggestions to help it turn the corner and become a better functioning branch of government. Tip O’Neill (D) was Speaker of the House of Representatives for about 10 years until he retired in 1987. He believed “all politics is local.” Frost and Davis believe that is no longer the case. Today’s two powerful political parties rule. Congress members mostly vote the party line, which doesn’t allow for compromise and ends in dysfunction. Members who step over the line fear being punished by their own party. Punishment usually comes in the form of a more partisanideological candidate supported by the party running against the sitting Congress member in the primary. About 90% of congressional districts are so-called “safe districts”, meaning the constituency is reliably Republican or Democratic. Primary voters tend to be farther to the extreme wing of their party, so a more moderate candidate won’t make it to the general election. In “safe-districts” the opposing party’s candidate is not a threat, if one even runs. This process has brought more Editorial Cartoon

ideological, far from moderate, politicians to Congress adding to the polarization. A Congress without a center defines divided and dysfunctional. Why so many “safe-districts”? Mostly, this is a result of gerrymandering or the manipulation of boundaries of districts (stacking the deck) in favor of one party or the other. On the other hand, districts that are competitive lead to candidates that can appeal to the center and sometimes across party lines. Candidates in a competitive district are more likely to know their district and vote in the district’s interest, instead of the party’s interest. Laws put into place to regulate campaign financing over the last half century have been gutted to the point of ineffectiveness. Congress passed the Federal Election Campaign Act in the early 1970s and a few years later established the Federal Election Commission (FEC). In 2002 the Campaign Reform Act better known as McCain-Feingold was passed. Portions of the latter were ruled unconstitutional five years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court in Citizens United vs Federal Election Commission. The court held that is was unconstitutional to ban independent political spending by corporations and unions. The FEC is made up of six members, three of each party. Four votes are required to take action, resulting in more dysfunction with today’s political polarization. The Supreme Court decision helped open the door to Super PACs (independent-expenditure only political action committees) which are independent expenditure committees that can raise money without any limit

on a donation amount. They can spend an unlimited amount on a campaign. Super PACs are not supposed to coordinate “directly” with a candidate or a political party. Another source of money flooding into the system is so-called “dark money” or money given to non-profits that have a particular political agenda; donors do not have to be disclosed. These growing big money sources made up mostly of secret donations which are largely unregulated support the belief of the public that wealthy donors and powerful interest groups have power over elected officials. Congress members seeking reelection will likely not vote against the interests of a powerful interest group, who they are dependent on to finance their next campaign. They, unfortunately, are voting to insure their own reelection and not voting to best serve their constituents. The power of the party to keep its members in line, especially in “safe districts”, and the power of big money interest groups lead directly to the dysfunction of Congress. Media is another component adding to the breakdown of the system. Media sources have become more and more ideological. They often fail to provide a fair, unbiased account of the news. Twenty-four hour news programmers know their audience, targeting them with a biased account of the news to maintain or increase their ratings. We as voters contribute to the breakdown of the system by voting straight party without making an effort to consider the individual candidate. While big money interests are the winners, we, the public, are the losers.

Fixing the system Fixing the system will be especially difficult when legislative bodies are so polarized. Three changes, that would be very difficult to accomplish without a ground swell of public outrage, could go a long way toward fixing our electoral process. First, avoid legislative partisan gerrymandering by creating a bi-partisan or non-partisan commission to draw districts. About 20 states already have some form of a redistricting commission. Commissions must be made up of members of both parties and independents in a balanced way to avoid gerrymandering. Second, establish open and non-partisan primary elections. The number of people that identify themselves as politically independent is the majority of the electorate, yet they are the most under represented. In a non-partisan primary all candidates are on one ballot. All voters, registered with a particular party or not, can vote in the primary. The top two winners move on to the general election. They may both be affiliated with the same party or each a different party. This process will encourage candidates to reach the whole electorate, create more competitive elections, and in the end give us a legislative body that works for their constituents instead of their party. Third, pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution allowing campaign finance reform. An amendment to the Constitution requires a two-thirds majority of both the House and Senate and requires ratification by threequarters of the states (38).

Letter about no place for a sand mine... To the Editor, By now you have probably caught wind of some sort of scuttlebutt surrounding the Tracie and Michelle Erickson mine located three miles east of Rushford. Perhaps you have read newspaper articles or letters to the editor about CUP violations, a court battle with the DNR or Houston County malfeasance involving their mine. Controversy has swirled around their sand pit since the Ericksons attempted to start frac sand mining there in June, 2012. Since the mining of 10,000 cubic yards (yes, that is a lot of sand) can now resume, this is what local residents and tourists can look forward to. Sluggish gravel trucks will be pulling onto a very curvy section of Hwy. 16. Poor visibility combined with a large deer population, makes this a recipe for disaster. Golfers at the Ferndale Golf Course will be subjected to noisy gravel trucks and airborne silica dirt. Their trucks will rumble through Rushford, passing local businesses, the school, the park and pool. Neighbors with young children can enjoy obnoxious back up alarms, diesel fumes, airborne silica dirt, and decreased property values. A busy scenic byway (Hwy.16) adjacent to a golf course, a bike trail, the Root River and close neighbors is absolutely no place for a sand mine. Susan Van Gorp Rushford, MN

Houston County has increased taxes by over $5 million in the last 10 years, most of that in what is considered the recession years.

The county savings account is being used up at a rate of approximately $150,000 a year. The general fund is being

used and has been used to cover budget shortfalls. The Wheelage tax that was implemented without my support in 2013, although not collected as a property tax, is the equivalent of nearly a 2% tax increase each year ($196,000). The Wheelage tax is now part of the Highway Department budget. The initial cost of the Justice Center, which houses an 80 bed jail, of which only a fraction of those beds have been needed, was $18,030,000 plus $8,580,790 in interest. The total cost to tax payers is just shy of $27 million. The Justice Center will not be paid off until 2031. The current board, without my vote, increased taxes in 2014 by 3.52% ($385,000), which was more than double the state average. In 2015 the current board increased taxes by 4% without my vote. If past history repeats itself, it would mean a 3.73% tax increase for 2016, which would equate to a 1.13 million dollar tax increase from 2014 – 2016 under the watch of the sitting board. On the heels of a $27 million Justice Center that won’t be paid for until 2031, Commissioners Schuldt, Storlie, and Walter (3 of the 5 commissioners) are supporting a Highway Department proposal to construct a multi–million dollar Highway Department Complex, a proposal that mirrors the overbuilding of the Justice Center, allowing the possibility for history to repeat itself yet again.

Letter about SE Minn. employer commuter travel survey... To the Editor, A study about the feasibility of new regional commuter transportation and transit services in Southeast Minn. is underway, led by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). Planners are examining the demand for commuter transportation, intercity buses, vanpools, carpools, and specialized transportation options serving the following counties: Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, and Winona counties. The goal of the study is to determine whether new or expanded regional transportation programs or services are feasible, and if so, how they

should be developed. I’m writing to you based on our efforts to understand employer and employee transportation concerns. The consultant working on this study, Nelson\Nygaard Associates, has prepared a brief survey to understand employer needs and priorities in Southeast Minn. This is an important effort, supported by MnDOT, cities, counties, universities, chambers of commerce, and other organizations. I’m asking you to please distribute this brief survey to your members, which is on-line at mndotemployersurvey. info. The survey asks questions about work locations and work shifts, and focuses on understanding whether some employee commutes could be served by enhanced or new transportation options. Any data you

provide for the study will be kept strictly confidential and no information will be included in the report that details your responses.

On the road: SMIF stakeholders head west By: Tim Penny President/CEO, Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation The Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) serves 20 counties. While this is just a fraction of the state, it’s a large area: It takes over three and a half hours to drive from Springfield to Spring Tim Penny Grove - and that’s without road construction or snow drifts. In the course of our work, many SMIF staff members travel thousands of miles every year crisscrossing the region in support of early childhood, entrepreneurial, and community activities. Though SMIF’s governing Board members come from 15 of our 20 counties, we recognize the need for them - along with SMIF staff - to become more familiar with our entire region. So, going forward, every year we will schedule a bus tour of three or four counties exploring challenges, changing demographics, as well as causes for celebration. On this year’s tour we covered our four western-most counties: Brown, Faribault, Martin, and Watonwan. We passed through and stopped in many of the 36 communities located in these four counties. We heard from current and former board members, local business owners, civic servants, farmers, educators, the “returning” demographic of young families choosing to relocate to rural, and many others. Topics discussed ranged from entrepreneurism to education, broadband access to agriculture. The insights we gleaned will be helpful to us as we continue our Foundation’s work.

Here are some highlights we heard along the way: First, manufacturing and agriculture are both strong in this area, together making up 50% of the south central region’s economic output. However, manufacturers, like Wayne Kahler of Kahler Automation in Fairmont, expressed concern about finding enough skilled workers, as all four counties have experienced population loss in the last decade and only 17.5% of those over 25 have a bachelor’s degree or higher. We also listened to concerns facing agriculture, including the transition of land from retiring farmers to a younger generation. Second, entrepreneurship is alive and well. We spoke with Cup ‘n Saucer Café co-owners Seth and Elizabeth Lintelman in Sherburn, where we stopped for morning rhubarb caramel bread pudding. They won the café in an essay contest and happily took the opportunity to leave the Twin Cities to own their own business. Similarly, we met with Derek Tonn, CEO of a national map-making company called Mapformation, who moved with his family from St. Paul to Springfield seeking a better quality of life for his kids and also to grow his business. This highlighted a need for improved broadband services to allow small business ownDANCE CLASSES KNOWN FOR EXCELLENCE, but appreciated for recognizing the effort of every dancer.

ers like Derek who can “work from anywhere” the option of choosing rural. David Krause of Pioneer Bank in St. James stressed the need for technical assistance from organization’s like SMIF’s to help small and minority businesses succeed. Third, quality education for our next generation is a top priority. At our break-out session at the St. James Library, we talked about the difficulties confronting rural schools, such as attracting quality teachers, keeping up with technology, collaborating with neighboring schools to attract resources, and handling the dynamics of both low-income students and non-English speaking families. On average, only 58% of third grade students in this area are achieving reading standards. We are proud that SMIF has offered our Quality Child Care Program trainings in all four of these counties, but we recognize that more needs to be done to ensure that children enter kindergarten ready to learn. Finally, it is clear that community pride is strong. In New Ulm, we heard about the town’s history and many cultural festivals from former SMIF Board member Denis Warta while we enjoyed Schell’s 1919 Root Beer. At all our stops, people were excited to welcome us and tell us about their hopes for the future.

Swenson Rock Quarry expansion recommended for approval

By Karen Reisner A public hearing was held at the Fillmore County planning commission’s July 30 meeting to consider the application submitted by Bruening Rock Products for a conditional use permit (CUP) to expand the Swenson Rock Quarry, located in Sections 11 and 14 in Newburg Township in the Ag District. WSB geologist Jeff Broberg explained that this is an expansion of an existing quarry located 2.5 miles north of Mabel on County Road 29. The application is to expand the quarry to 38.61 acres of the 78 acre parcel. Rock products will continue to be mined or excavated to be used for roads and driveways. It is expected that 50,000 tons per year will be mined (2-3 acres). Broberg estimated at the present level of production it will take about 15 years to exhaust the material in the expanded area. He added that it is their intention to comply with the ordinance. A detailed plan for restoration has been made. Broberg said the operators will use a professional blasting service and typically blasting will only be done once per year. Bruening Rock Products took over quarry8/9/2015 operations from eginning owner David Swenson in 2012.

They have since held a year to year CUP. Swenson originally operated the quarry under a CUP approved in 2003 for 9.24 acres. Public hearing There was no comment from township supervisors. Two neighbors shared their concerns and comments on the proposed expansion. Kevin Miles said he owns property where he and his wife reside, just north of the Swenson parcel. He insisted the 1,000 foot setback from the boundaries of the quarry to a dwelling is “ridiculous”, saying the quarry is right at his back door. Miles claimed that he has contacted the zoning office three times asking why the quarry operators were allowed to park and load trucks within the 1,000 foot setback from a dwelling, saying he was told there had not been a variance. He stated that the county still hasn’t addressed the problem, calling the intersection where he claims equipment has blocked the road “a dangerous intersection” (county road 29, 451st Ave., and 140th St.). Broberg said it is the Bruening’s intention to move the equipment back. It was noted that the ordinances have changed since the CUP was first issued forSouth the quarry.

tained they have certified escorts when they bring equipment in, adding it doesn’t take all day. Swenson said that there wasn’t room to stay off the road with equipment in the beginning, but now there is room. Doyle stated they want to be a good neighbor, adding they have put a lot of rock on the road and have maintained it. Miles argued against issuing the permit quoting 504.01(10) Criteria for Granting Conditional Use Permits. He suggested the close proximity of the gravel pit reduces the value of his property and affects his wife’s health who he claims reacts violently to diesel fuel fumes. Miles later suggested the noise from back-up horns also affects his property value. He insisted it isn’t fair and asked the commission members to consider the “little guy”. The ordinance does state that “no CUP should be granted if such permit may have the potential for significant effect to,” several points including the protection of public health and the value of property. Miles also maintained that the 1,000 mile setback from his dwelling would not allow him to build a house closer to the southern border of his property line, should he have reason to replace his home. Interim zoning administrator Cristal Adkins stated that according to the assessor’s office, there has been no effect on the value of property. Lois Day, who lives just short of a mile from the quarry, was concerned that blasting might affect her new well. She said she understood that we can have a monitor on our property to measure a blast. Doyle immediately offered to monitor it “to give this lady peace of mind.” Broberg noted that in a study no impact on wells was found. Miles and Day described items falling off the wall and shelves during blasting. Broberg explained that conditions like a low cloud cover and high humidity during blasting contribute to the shaking, insisting that it is the noise that shakes things off the walls.

Discussion Bruening still has a stockpile outside of the surveyed boundary of the quarry. Commission member Duane Bakke said the stockpile has to be within the surveyed boundary. Doyle said they will get rid of this stockpile as soon as they can. Ordinance 721.08(9) Operational Requirements requires all loading and unloading of trucks to occur on site and not on a public road. Bakke acknowledged that this requirement would have been hard to comply with in the beginning. With a 5-2 vote, the CUP for the quarry expansion was sent on to the county board for their consideration with three conditions. Commission members Gary Ruskell and Ann O’Connor voted no. The conditions include: 1) no stockpiling outside of the current surveyed boundary of the quarry, 2) no loading or unloading on the roadway, and 3) an insert with the annual letter concerning blasting (sent to property owners with dwellings within one mile of the quarry boundaries) informing homeowners that they may request monitoring. The county board is expected to consider this CUP application at the August 11 meeting. Other business in brief An amendment was recommended unanimously for 604.05(6) Performance Standards (Ag District), allowing a second access within a quarter mile if at least one access is used for agricultural purposes. There were no comments from township supervisors or the public. Adkins noted that a notice is sent

Wabasha, and Winona Counties. Approval was given to apply for the annual wellness grant from Southeast Service Cooperative for 2015 in the amount of $2,510. The funds are used for activities for employee wellness including health screening. Chairman Duane Bakke referred to a letter received from State Representative Sarah Anderson informing the board that they are not required to sign a three year agreement with the state auditor’s office for county auditing services. Counties will have the choice, due to recent changes in state law, of contracting with the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) or choosing a private CPA firm that meets the requirements and standards of the OSA. to all townships and cities when a public hearing is scheduled for a change in the county ordinance. Kristi Clarke, Chatfield, was the only comment received, stating there was no objection to the proposed language change. An additional conditional use has been proposed for the Ag District. There was a public hearing for the proposed addition of a new section 738 Commercial Outdoor Recreation Area. There was no comment from the public or township supervisors. Planning commission members recommended unanimously that the new use proposal be sent to the county board for their consideration. This new use will include paintball, laser tag, and airsoft ranges and/or courses. Language for another proposed additional conditional use for the Ag District concerning Retreat Centers is still being worked on. Members discussed Section 604.05(9) of the county ordinance restricting the placing of a dwelling on property with a crop equivalency rating of 65 or greater. The planning commission is expected to meet next on September 24. Variance granted, Board of Adjustment Craig and Tricia Henry, Section 12, Canton Township, requested a variance to place a mobile home on 2.17 acres they recently obtained which has a crop equivalency rating greater than 65. Mr. Henry explained the mobile home will be for their son and will be located just south of their own residence. They will share one access to Deer Road. There were no comments from the township board or the public. The variance was approved.

Wykoff News By Donna Erdman As a result of the tax forfeiture auction on Tuesday of Goodies and Gas, Spencer Weisner was the high bidder for the former Bud Kavanagh building and lot in Wykoff. A Fitzthum cousins reunion was held July 29 at 12 p.m. at Margaret’s Tea Room. Those in attendance were Beatrice Eickhoff, Flora Grabau, Marvin Fitzthum, Bernice Drury, Lois and Doug Emerson, Lyle and Marilyn Affeldt, Colleen Jacobson, Arlys Hartmann, Kenny and Mercedes Schultz. Arlys Hartmann may have come the furthest from Wamego, Kans. Carroll and Carolyn Evers on Sunday and Monday were on a tour to Ft. Washington, Wisc. where they had trout and salmon fishing. Fishing was good and they brought fish home for the freezer. The Fillmore Free Methodist Church just updated their website where you can visit fillmore. freemethodistchurch.org. Maple Springs Campground have a family from Ky. for a two day visit. Recently 28 retired men and women from the surrounding area had breakfast at the Gateway Inn and then proceeded on their weekly Wednesday horseback ride. Recently, ladies from Fillmore, Racine, Chatfield, and Stewartville had noon lunch

at the Bank Gift Haus. Kathy Lang, Myrtle Schwartz, Sue Thompson, Ardis Copple, and Margaret Lex must prefer the Bank Gift Haus for their gettogethers. An oldest granddaughter, Megan Shaw, and friend came from Chicago to visit Ruth Link at the Ostrander Care Center on Friday. On Saturday, Orlo, Ruth, and their granddaughter and friend had lunch together. Megan and her friend returned to Chicago on Sunday. On Saturday, Margaret Cole gathered at the Bank Gift Haus with six of her friends to celebrate her special birthday. Scones were served along with strawberry dessert. It’s always fun to go to the Bank Gift Haus, because it seems special. On Friday Lynn Kidd and Terry Klomps went to Rochester for lunch to celebrate Terry’s special birthday. Esther McCaulley and Joan A. Kidd went to the Pork Producers Meal at the Fountain Community Center. Delicious pork chops were served. Our sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Dr. Ray Krueger, who passed away on July 16 at the age of 62 at Seasons Hospice in Rochester. He is survived by his wife, Connie, of 12 years. He practiced medicine in Spring Valley at Olmsted Medical Clinic. He was involved in many mission trips. His most recent mission trip was to Alaska with Samari-

Monday, August 10, 2015 tan’s Purse, volunteering with “Operation Heal Our Patriots”. He was a member of the Fillmore Free Methodist Church. He helped establish a children’s home in Honduras and in 2014 he and Connie built and financially supported an orphanage in the slums of Haiti. He will be missed by many, many people. On Sunday, Joan A. Kidd and Donna Erdman covered Ed’s Museum for visitors. They did not have anyone. Thank you to those who are willing and able to be at Ed’s on Saturdays and Sunday afternoon for visitors. For his 91st birthday, Don Jeche has had calls from nieces, nephews, cousins, and children, as well as good food. Jerry Nash was one of 15 men and women who recently traveled to Kenya, Africa to build a school, Mission Greenhouse, for 240 girls, as sponsored by Poet Bio-Refining of Preston. On Saturday, Janelle Campeau and Megan Evens hosted a shower for baby Rachel and Margaret Hewitt at the JoAnn Glady home. Harvey and JoEllen Schmidt’s grandson Mitchell Simonson was married Friday, July 31 to Ashley Wright. Both from Preston, they were married at Four Daughter’s Winery. Mitchell’s parents are Dean and Tammy Simonson of Preston. Ashley’s parents are Joe and Bonnie Wright of Tex. Mitchell’s grandparents, also from Preston, are Jim and Rita Simonson. Friends and family came from Tex., Chicago, and his uncle and aunt Wade and Lytana, kids, and girls from Atlanta, Ga. According to the weather news, it was one of the top ten days in Minn. this year, followed by a blue moon. We wish them the best! On Tuesday, Arlene Erding came to visit Wendy Grabau. On Thursday, Ryan Grabau and their four children came for a visit and to help Randy in haying. On Saturday, Randy, Wendy, and Bretta attended the funeral of Dr. Ray Kruegar at the Fillmore Free Methodist Church and later went to visit the Krueger home.

Fillmore Central Schools will be participating in the Summer Food Service Program says: That’s great, but what about the kids who live in harmony or fountain? How do they get there? Kind of discrimination based on the area you live in. Hello There says: Perhaps you should re-read the 5th paragraph in this article. If you feel you are being discriminated against then do as the 5th paragraph instructs. says: That’s a great idea. I will do that Remark1976 says: The summer food program isn’t new and Fillmore Central has been serving the meals at the elementary school every year they’ve offered the meals. If you think that towns like Fountain and Harmony, which aren’t the only towns in the county or state that don’t have easy access to these summer meals, are being “discriminated” against, what about the kids that live out in the country, not just in the Fillmore Central district but every school district in this country? Yes, the towns where there isn’t a school/facility serving these summer meals are at a disadvantage. What are we supposed to do-pay to have the school buses go around to pick-up kids in towns like Fountain and Harmony, bus them to the elementary school for a meal and then bus them right back home?

Letter about response to Jeff Erding’s commentary... Bob Burkholder says: Guns are not the problem. It is the lack of moral fiber in our society today. The government has successfully taken God out of everything visible and now what do we have? Way over 50% divorce rates, single parent homes. How do you expect a person to learn right from wrong when there is no one around to teach them? Quit whoring around, get married, raise your children right, teach them proper Gun safety and responsibility and you won’t have near as many mass shootings. And for mentally Ill people... We are all mentally ill, what keeps all of us from going off and shooting up a place when we’re stuck in line at Walmart is good morals instilled in us by our families and communities. The root of the problem is how we are raised. Ask yourself this, What’s the difference between mentally ill people now and mentally ill people 60 years ago??? There wasn’t mass shootings back then, lots of guns around back then too, kids even brought guns to school to learn how to safely use them. No kid shot up their classrooms. Why is that you may ask? Church and good parenting. Kids are raised by violent movies, tv, video games, and sex ads everywhere you turn. As for the NRA... They didn’t cause all this. Quit blaming the tool(guns) and hold accountable people for their actions. If I were to raise my kid by just feeding him fast food, energy drinks and plop him in front of a T.V. you can bet he’s going to get into some kinda nasty trouble with WHATEVER he has access to. NRA is the union for the responsible gun owners that reserve the right to keep and bare arms. So there. That’s my rant. See more comments at

Rushford Village approves solar array permit By Kirsten Zoellner The city of Rushford Village held a public hearing Tuesday, August 4, for the purpose of receiving public comment on a proposed Interim Use Permit for an expanded solar array. Tri-County Electric (TEC), the

Put your paws up for this fun guy! This is Remington, a 6 - year old hound mix who was found as a stray. Remington is so sweet and loves all people. He would love a home that would give him lots of love and attention. Remington gets along with other dogs and would make a great family pet. He would do well as a couch potato or going for long strolls in your neighborhood. Please stop by and meet him, he cannot wait to find his forever home! Adoption fee $200 + $15 microchip fee + tax.

headquarters. The Zoning Board has suggested an Interim Use Permit be utilized. A Conditional Use Permit would be transferrable through property sale and cannot be retracted by the city unless the permit terms are violated, thereby binding the city’s control of the property usage for that purpose. Ted Kjos, Vice President of Marketing & External Relations for TEC was on hand to answer any questions. No members of the public were present. “The application has passed Planning and Zoning. All requirements of section 1520 have been met with this application. We didn’t have any concerns or

Kjos questioned the time frame of the permit, stating that TEC may wait to begin construction in light of recent comments regarding clean energy incentives by President Obama through the Clean Power Act. “That’s about 1500-1600 pages of new law that’s coming out, but one of the things that’s in there, it looks like there’s going to be more incentives and a push for renewable, so we may push back the project, if there’s something we can take advantage of.” Currently, a 30% investment tax credit is in place

until December 2016. “Those tax credits don’t work for us,” added Kjos. Incentives are not currently offered to non-profit organizations and companies, such as TEC, but that may change. The city acknowledged that permits are for a period of one-year, but may be allowed to extend if substantial progress has been made. If TEC does not move forward with the project in the course of one year, they will need to reapply and another public hearing will need to be held. “We appreciate the council’s consideration,” added Kjos. “We’re looking forward to adding some solar power to that site there and a good addition See SOLAR ARRAY Page 13 

In other news, the city has completed a walkthrough analysis of the scope of work for repairs to Cooperative Way. A proposal from Pember Companies, Inc. for repairs was unanimously approved by the council. The repairs total $26,305. “We’ve looked at the proposal and it’s very favorable,” noted Josh Pope, Engineer for Bolton & Menk. “We compared it against the 2015 Pavement Management plan. By and large, this proposal is right

to address and help out tremendously, it’s inevitable with any roadway, this more than others, that other issues may crop up. We certainly feel, given the duration since the initial construction, this is not going to be the be all and end all. With that in mind, we certainly would recommend accepting the proposal.” Pember and Fitzgerald Excavating can begin work on the roadway as early as next week. They do not believe road work will impact the detour for the County 25 work in nearby Peterson. Pember is contractually obligated to have the work completed by September 15, according to Pope. Mayor Johnson noted a recent

discussion between himself and Mike Peterson, owner of HiTech Industries. At last month’s council meeting, the mayor had stated concerns brought to the council regarding materials residing on the property from the flood of 2007. The mayor was incorrect in this statement. Peterson has acknowledged materials on the property, but they are from “Club 16” demolition. “He has clarified that they are not from the flood and indicated he will do what he can to clean it up,” stated Johnson. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, August 18, at 7:00 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Local electric cooperatives complete deal, make history with acquisition of Alliant Energy electric service territory Tri-County Electric Cooperative, with 11 other electric distribution cooperatives, wrote a new page in history with the completion of the acquisition of Alliant Energy’s electric service territory in southern Minn. As a result, all southern Minn. customers of Alliant Energy are now member-owners of their respective electric cooperative. “It is a very unique situation for electric cooperatives to have the opportunity to purchase service territory from investorowned utilities,” said Brian Krambeer, president and CEO of Tri-County Electric Cooperative. “Further, it is the first time to our knowledge that several – we have 12 – electric cooperatives have banded together to acquire new service territory.” In 2013, the 12 cooperatives

formed Southern Minn. Energy Cooperative (SMEC) as the single point of contact for the purchase of electric service territory in southern Minnesota from Alliant Energy. The more than two-year process of acquiring the territory involved receiving approvals from the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, Iowa Utilities Board, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The acquisition transfers approximately 43,000 electric accounts to local electric cooperatives. For Tri-County Electric Cooperative, the combined territory serves approximately 15,000 members. Cities added to those Tri-County already serves are Chatfield (also served by People’s), Lewiston, Ostrander, Racine, Stockton, Utica, and

Wykoff. “We are excited to share the benefits of being a member of a cooperative with these new member-owners,” Krambeer added. “Our team of local professionals has been serving this area with reliable, affordable electricity for more than 70 years. We look forward to meeting and building relationships with these individuals, families, and business owners. All of the cooperatives’ new member-owners were mailed a transition guide, letter, and postcard with their cooperative’s contact information. Memberowners can expect to receive welcome material with all the essential information from their electric cooperative by mail. Member-owners with questions should contact their local coop-

erative at: Tri-County Electric Cooperative (800) 432-2285 or tec.coop. “It has been a win-win opportunity from the beginning,” said Krambeer. “For our new member-owners, they will receive high-quality service at lower rates than if Alliant Energy had continued to serve as their electric utility. For our legacy member-owners, this acquisition grows and increases the efficiency of each cooperative by spreading fixed costs over more member-owners. We are grateful that all our members benefit so much from this once-in-alifetime opportunity.” Krambeer added that every participating electric cooperative has worked with exceptional diligence over the last two years to assure a smooth transition.

“We are ready to welcome our new member-owners,” he said. About Southern Minnesota Energy Cooperative Southern Minnesota Energy Cooperative (SMEC) was formed by 12 electric distribution cooperatives as a single point of contact for the proposed purchase of electric service territory in southern Minnesota from Alliant Energy. The 12 SMEC member cooperatives are BENCO Electric Cooperative, Brown County Rural Electrical Association, Federated Rural Electric, Freeborn-Mower Cooperative Services, Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative, Nobles Cooperative Electric, People’s Energy Cooperative, Redwood Electric Cooperative, Sioux Valley Energy, South Central Electric, Steele-Waseca Cooperative Electric and TriCounty Electric Cooperative.

Fillmore Central 7-8th band selected to perform at MMEA Convention The Minnesota Music Educator’s Association recently selected performing ensembles to represent the best in K-12 music performance.

Red Cross issues call for most needed blood types The American Red Cross is facing a looming shortage of the blood types most needed by patients and is calling on eligible donors with O negative, B negative, and A negative blood to give now to prevent an emergency situation. Blood donation appointments can be quickly and easily scheduled by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS. Last week we ran a

Harmony Agri Service CPS of Harmony

Overall blood donations in the Red Cross North Central Blood Services Region have been approximately 1,734 fewer per month in June and July this year than the previous ten months of the year. When demand for the most needed types begins to outpace donations, the Red Cross alerts donors to help restock the shelves. Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to patients with any blood type. Types B negative and A negative can be transfused to Rh positive or negative patients. Eligible donors are encouraged to donate double red cells – a process where two units of red cells are collected while most of the plasma and platelets are returned to the donor – where available. “Summer blood shortages are not uncommon, but they can be prevented when generous volun-

teers roll up their sleeves to help save lives,” said Sue Thesenga, Communications Manager for the Red Cross North Central Blood Serives Region. “Many donors have already given this summer. We’re now asking donors who haven’t donated, and those who are eligible again, to make an appointment to give now to help ensure blood products are available for patients.” Platelet donors and those with type AB blood are also continually needed to help ensure patients receive the lifesaving blood products they need. Platelets – a key clotting component of blood often needed by cancer patients, surgical patients and bone narrow recipients – must be transfused within five days of donation, so donations are constantly needed. Donors with type AB blood are urged to give blood or platelets to restock the plasma supply. Type

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

AB donors have the universal plasma type, which can be given to patients of all blood types. Individuals who donated blood earlier this summer may be eligible to donate again and help patients like an expectant mother at a Red Cross-supported hospital who is currently receiving nearly 100 units of blood products a week until she delivers. Her need alone could add up to 1,100 units. Upcoming blood donation opportunities: Chatfield: August 11, 2015: 1 p.m. - 7 p.m., United Methodist Church, 124 Winona East St. Spring Valley: August 20, 2015: 1 p.m. - 7 p.m., Community Center, 200 S. Broadway. Rushford: August 26, 2015: 1 p.m. - 7 p.m., St. Joseph’s Church, 105 N. Mill St. How to donate blood Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood

types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. About the American Red Cross The American Red Cross shelters, feeds, and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

lies and attending local high schools, the students acquire an understanding of American values and build on leadership skills. The exchange students arrive from their home country shortly before school begins and return at the end of the school year. Each World Heritage student is fully insured, brings his or her own personal spending money, and expects to bear his or her share of household responsibilities, as well as being included in normal family activities and lifestyles. At the same time, the student will be teaching their newly adopted host family about their own culture and language. World Heritage is also seeking local high school exchange students to become exchange students abroad. Students should be between 15 and 18 years old and interested in living with a host family, attending local school, and learning about the lands and people of Europe, Asia, the Americas, Canada, New Zealand, or South Africa. Students should be in good academic standing and have a desire to learn of another culture and language through living with a a warm and giving volunteer host family. Academic year, 3-month reciprocal exchanges and shorter summer programs are available. Those persons interested in obtaining more information about becoming a host family or becoming an exchange student should contact World Heritage’s regional coordinator, Courtney at (866) 939-4111, go online at www.WhHosts.com or email Courtney@WorldHeritage.org.

Can you zone promotions per Zip Code? Yes, we do it all the time for businesses and organizations all throughout Fillmore County. And, we only charge a fraction of what the USPS charges with their Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) program. If you were to insert a single sheet (8-1/2” x 11”) promotion in our newspaper, the cost of insertion would be 5.25 cents each. Meanwhile, the USPS would charge you over 18.2 cents per piece for the same size promotion. So, we are only charging 29% of what you would pay for the same marketing piece to reach the exact same households with a zoned Zip Code program. If you have any questions about our zoned Zip Code program, please contact me at 507-765-2151. I will gladly explain your options for target marketing at a Zip Code level.

By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator The 2015 Fillmore County Fair concluded on July 25. I would assume most of you visited the fair at least one time and many of you made several visits. The 4H projects LaVerne C. and animals Paulson were exceptional and I heard numerous positive comments concerning the accomplishments of our young people. The open class exhibits were very nice, as well. As usual, a lot of food, water, and soda was consumed by fair goers of all ages. I was impressed by the number of bottles and cans that were collected in the recycling containers and not in the garbage cans. Once again, the residents of Fillmore County and the surrounding area have shown their concern for the environment.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

Attending the fair is a summer tradition for many of us. Summer is also a good time to pack a lunch, drive to a park or rest area, and have a picnic with the family. Pack all snacks and other food in reusable containers and place them into your cooler with your water and pop. All containers should come home with you to be used again. Please consider purchasing a reusable, hard plastic, water bottle and cut back on buying water in a bottle. There is a pretty good chance that water from your tap at home or work tastes better and is much better than water that has been sitting in a plastic bottle in a hot warehouse for a month or two. Summer is also a time when a lot of people take a look at their clothing supply and dispose of unwanted or outgrown items. The ten green Salvation Army containers are still here at the Recycling Center in Preston and are available for you to deposit your unwanted clothing. As most of you know, the Salvation Army also accepts bedding, shoes, belts, purses,

District Court news On July 29, William Bruce Manhart, 36, of Harmony, appeared before District Court Judge Larry M. Collins. Manhart is charged with Domestic Abuse – Violate Order for Protection (within ten years of two

or more qualified convictions/ adjudications of delinquency). On or about July 27, within the city of Harmony, the defendant allegedly violated an Order for Protection issued by a judge or referee within ten years of the

curtains, and rugs. The Salvation Army will take items that are stained and torn, but they must be clean and dry. I came across an article this past week concerning grilling. According to the article, using gas or electric grills is better than using wood or charcoal. The article also stated that cooking on a gas grill outside is better for the environment than cooking indoors. With the number of discarded grills that are dropped off at the metal container here in Preston each week, I would assume a great number of you may agree with that. Americans use one hundred billion ....yes, that is 100,000,000,000..... plastic bags each year. That’s perhaps a few more than necessary. It’s time to think seriously about joining the Cloth and Canvas Bag Brigade of Fillmore County. Many of you stopped by the Fillmore County Resource Recovery Center and Recycling Center booth at the fair to pick up the most recent Fillmore County Single Stream Recycling Guide. Thank you for your interest in recycling.
