Ostrander discusses conflict of interest By R ich Wicks

rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com

A potential conflict of interest was the main topic during the Ostrander City Council meeting on August 7. All members of the council were in attendance (Vernon Thompson, Pam Kunert, Mayor Pat Nesler, City Clerk Wendy Brincks, Heidi Jones and DJ Start), as was City Attorney Jennifer Gumbel. Besides department heads, approximately 15 citizens were in the audience during the meeting. Gumbel said she had been contacted regarding “the mat-

ter of the mayor employed by a subcontractor for the (street) project.” She went on to say that there are a number of factors that could impact whether or not this situation is an actual conflict of interest, but added, “Ultimately, there’s a duty, number one, to inform the USDA anytime there’s a conflict like this. They’ve been notified, and their response has been pretty good.” She suggested contacting the state’s Attorney General’s office to hopefully “get their blessing,” and she asked the council to See OSTRANDER Page 10 

trials — all because of his huge passion to live and his family’s faith that something may eventually work. Despite all this, the Eide family discovered that the only way Caleb would win this battle was to walk through the doors of heaven. Caleb gained his angel wings on July 29, 2016. “Caleb is deeply missed more than words can describe,” Crystal said. “He was such a giving, loving little boy. I knew we were going to have to do something to keep that spirit alive and honor his life. That’s why we See CALEB EIDE Page 7 

Fillmore County Sheriff candidate John DeGeorge addressed the Lanesboro City Council at their August 6 meeting. DeGeorge has been serving as the captain at the sheriff’s office for almost 10 years now. He spoke about his plans as sheriff if he is elected and what his priorities will be. If he is elected as sheriff, he plans to introduce a program to the public that increases safety awareness on a variety of subjects such as drug abuse, identity theft, cyber safety, etc. DeGeorge also answered several questions from the members of the council at the meeting. Alissa Oeltjenbruns, a representative from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation or SMIF, updated the council on the work that SMIF is doing

in the Lanesboro area. The two main areas of focus for the foundation is economic development and early childhood development. SMIF is able to provide one-on-one technical assistance to businesses that take advantage of the small business loans SMIF offers. “That is a great asset considering how difficult it is to start a business these days,” Oeltjenbruns noted. “We’re also highly invested in the quality childcare shortage.” SMIF’s goal is to ensure that every parent has access to high quality childcare so they’re able to work. Mayor Autumn Johnson made a motion that the city donate $250 to SMIF with the caveat that the money stays in the community of Lanesboro, which is what has been done in past years as well. The council approved the donation. See DEGEORGE Page 2 

When Crystal Eide heard the words, “We believe your son has leukemia,” her life, and many others, were changed forever. Her son Caleb was just fiveyears-old on that dreadful day in February of 2014. Caleb had been a happy, healthy, active little boy. Out of nowhere, things suddenly changed and Caleb’s energy faded. They went to the doctor several times and were told to “keep an eye on him and let us know if things don’t change.” Things didn’t change, and

another doctor ordered a blood draw, thinking that would confirm a simple diagnosis of mono. That’s when they got the news about Caleb’s leukemia. Caleb spent the next twoand-a-half years in and out of the hospital. He endured hundreds of bone marrow biopsies and spinal taps with anesthesia, blood and platelet transfusions, needle pokes and chemo treatments. This once healthy little boy received a lifetime maximum dose of total body radiation and a bone marrow transplant. They flew across the country and tried seven different clinical

Gideon Purdell has been hired as the newest officer of the Lanesboro Police Department. It was reported that the department has responded to 100-110 calls this summer in Lanesboro alone, which is higher than average. They were also able to issue some search warrants that culminated in the removal of some meth off the streets. An enclosed trailer was recently purchased for the fire department’s UTV. The department has made some changes to the drills that they run, increasing them from one hour to two hours. Chief Jerod Wagner noted that training dollars in the budget are already running short. “We’ll have to take a look at that when it comes to

the 2019 budget,� he said. The council will review the training budget for 2018 thus far. The Lanesboro ambulance service thanked local employers for allowing their employees who are also EMTs to leave during their shift if called out on an ambulance run. “We probably wouldn’t have an ambulance service if it weren’t for that,� Director Deane Benson said. While the Lanesboro EDA is supposed to have a seven member board, it is currently running with five instead. Despite advertising for help to fill the open seats, which have been empty for some time now, no one has volunteered. City Administrator Michele Peterson suggested changing changing the EDA to have a three-member board instead. Unfortunately, that would mean less people doing

the same amount of work, but as Peterson pointed out, leaving it as a seven member board with empty seats means that it is not compliant with state statute. The matter was tabled for the time being. After over 30 years of working for the Lanesboro Public Utilities Department, Jim Peterson has put in his resignation. The council thanked him for his years of dedication. A diesel engine at the utility plant is not operable and has not been for some time. The LPU would like to remove it, but it will be costly to do so. “It does need to be done as we’re never going to be able to use that again,� Peterson commented, pointing out that it takes up a lot of space, and the funds needed for removal are available in the budget. Council member Tom Smith felt that that money could be spent elsewhere for repairs and updates. The council decided to table it until more research could be done on the actual cost of removal. The sealed bids for the pickup truck that the Park Department is selling were opened and the high bid of $1,852.00 was approved. Keith Ekstrom resigned from his position on the Lanesboro Public Library board, and Kathy Rogers was appointed to fill his seat. There were 18 total applicants for the public works maintenance job. David Haugan was

Perviously, several businesses had asked the council to allow them to set up racks and other displays on the sidewalks outside of their shops during the summer months. It was decided to allow them to do so on a trial basis last summer. Feedback was received from businesses and community members with the overwhelming opinion being positive. Many felt that allowing businesses to use the sidewalks added to the aesthetics of the town. Council member Jason Resseman recommended continuing to allow the prac-

tice with the proper permits and to roll the various permits needed for the trial year into one umbrella permit which would simplify things for the business owners and the city. The rest of the council agreed, and the motion was approved. The council reviewed the beginnings of the budget for 2019. Each council member will meet with different organizations such as the park board, LPU, library, etc. to go over their budget for the coming year. The next Lanesboro City Council meeting will be held on September 4 at 5:30 p.m.

C ommentary Science today: Helping children with autism By Sara Snipes Autism has been a heavy subject in the media regularly for the past 5-10 years. Many people have their theories as to how autism is caused and why it has become more prevalent in the U n i t e d Sara Snipes States. Of course, as controversial as it appears to be, when there’s a debate science isn’t too far behind giving us the facts. According to an article published in the journal Current Biology, autism can be defined as “a developmental disorder diagnosed on the basis of early-emerging social and communication impairments and rigid and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests” (Frith, U. & Happé, F., 2005). There are several claims as to how often this disorder occurs in children, but the best estimate available gives that 1 in 68 children have an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) (Daniels, J., et al., 2018). Usually these children struggle to recognize facial cues and avoid eye contact. As you can probably see, this disorder makes social interactions extremely difficult for these children. ASD will affect their futures with coworkers, personal relationships, etc. A current standard therapy being used to treat ASD is called applied behavioral analysis (ABA). Even though this therapy is effective in improving eye contact, increasing IQ, and emotion recognition, most of these behaviors are learned and not natural dependent upon prompts from the behavioral Editorial Cartoon

source (Maglione, M., et al., 2012). A small tangent, I know many of you are looking for the cause of the disorder itself. Vaccine critics have long been blaming the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. This came about from Dr. Andrew Wakefield, a British gastroenterologist (note that this is not an immunology specialty), claiming he found the cause: MMR vaccine. Thus, starting the anti-vaxxer niche within our society and has easily been the most damaging medical hoax of the past 100 years (Flaherty, D., 2011). For good measure, seven controlled studies and two ecological studies in the U.S., Great Britain, Denmark, and Japan have failed to document as association between MMR vaccination and autism. By 2004, the scientific community was in agreement that vaccines did NOT cause or contribute to autism. With that out of the way, the scientific community now has a small study suggesting that technology can greatly improve autistic symptoms! This study was published online in Digital Medicine on August 2, 2018, by Daniels, J., et al. This study used technology like Google Glass to deliver audio-visual feedback to children with ASD. Instead of needing a prompt from a person to give to a child with ASD to respond correctly, these glasses would give feedback to the child (Daniels, J., et al., 2018). This study was based on 14 families and complied with wearing the device at home for the minimum usage requirement of 10 weeks. The feedback from the families was measured by interviews with prepared questions. In a

short conclusion, the families agreed that the technology was helpful to their child with ASD and encouraged the child to be engaged with their surroundings. Also of note, was that 12 of the 14 families had stated their child increased eye contact from start to finish. Could wearable technology that society had prepped to be purely for entertainment purposes only be the gateway to helping autistic children understand their surroundings thus living independently through their own means? While this study was a small population, it does suggest that these glasses could give ASD children the confidence needed to navigate their environment without the help of their parents or cues from strangers who may not know they have ASD.

C ommentary Letter about the need for new leadership... To the Editor, As the August Primaries draw near, I am reminded that we are in an election year. Given that the primary is on the 14th, I decided that it’s time to see if any of the issues that were present in 2016 have been fixed. After all, if all, or at least the biggest concerns, have been fixed, then there is no reason to change leadership. However, my biggest concern hasn’t been fixed, it has only gotten worse. That issue is healthcare costs. In 2016, one of my main concerns was the rising costs of healthcare premiums. Our current Representative, in all fairness, did try to bring down costs. And yet, even after the insurance companies got hundreds of millions of dollars in a “reinsurance” deal, costs haven’t gone down. They have continued to rise. That’s why I support new leadership. That’s why I support Thomas Trehus. Thomas has a new plan to reduce healthcare costs. He wants to let every Minnesotan buy into MNCare, if they so choose. This would lower costs for many people. The reason it will is that MNCare is much more efficient. Given that it is a government program, MNCare doesn’t need to make profits for any CEOs or shareholders. Because of this, they can lower their premiums. If I could pay less by buying into MNCare, I would. Given that, over the last decade, premiums have continued to rise, I think it’s time for a new path. In our district, we pay the highest health insurance premiums. We need to bring these costs down, and Thomas is just the guy to do that. Stephen Hadaway Spring Grove, Minn.

Carla Nelson hit pieces on Jim Hagedorn ... To the Editor, In Carla’s recent mailings to Fillmore County residents, she makes claims based on half truths. Jim Hagedorn was born in Southern Minnesota. He did finish high school in the D.C. area because his dad, a U.S. Congressman from Minnesota, moved the family to D.C. Jim spent summers here during HS. Since beginning to run for Congress, Jim has become well known across the 1st District. (80% name recognition to Carla’s 35%). That’s possible because he travels the district, continuously appearing in events and parades. Carla degrades Jim because he doesn’t own the house he lives in. Questions for Carla: Does that disqualify Jim as a Congressional candidate and does she also look down on all of us who rent property? Carla criticized him for applying for unemployment compensation (he was 21 years old at the time) because he believes in a work requirement for welfare. Carla has to know that unemployment has a work requirement. Jim’s unemployment case is somewhat detailed. Carla must have all of that information, but reveals only enough information to paint Jim in a negative light. Carla serves in the Minnesota State Senate. Those people must know her very well yet no other Republican senator has endorsed her run for Congress while several have endorsed Jim. Gary Steuart Fillmore County Republicans

Kingsland discusses operating levy By Rich Wicks On August 6, Kingsland School Board held a monthly work session meeting in the elementary conference room. Board members present included Doug Plaehn, Leah Stier, Jackie Horsman, Tiffany Mundfrom, and Superintendent James Hecimovich, Business Manager Amber Herbrand and Principal Scott Klavetter. Heather Betts and Ann Oeltjen were absent. Much of the meeting was spent discussing the operating levy amount that the board will need to decide upon. Superintendent Hecimovich called Michael Hoheisel (of Robert W. Baird & Company) to get clarification of some of the numbers he presented regarding various levy amounts, and the taxpayer impact. The board discussed trying to find the right balance of setting the levy

low enough so that taxpayers are not overly burdened, but high enough to fund what is needed. Horsman stated that she was surprised to see that, “We’re actually in the lower 25% of the state, with what our tax contribution (levy) is‌ I agree when Doug said we can do what’s comfortable, but is that really going to ensure our future?â€? Amber Herbrand pointed out that, depending on the upcoming election, a new governor could drastically change the amount of funds for education. She was asked to bring financial data on several options for the board to compare at the next board meeting. No action was taken at this time. Superintendent Hecimovich shared that the district test results are in. He said since they are still embargoed,

Mail ballot process on the rise

Mail ballots will be used for three cities and five townships in the 2018 Fillmore County election.

According to Carrie Huffman with the Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer’s Office, for the 2018 election there will be three cities and five townships offering the option to vote by mail out of a total of 37 precincts in Fillmore County, Minn. In early July 2018, registered voters in Bloomfield Township, Canton Township, City of Fountain, Fountain Township, and Newburg Township, received mail ballot packets. These precincts were newly added to the mail ballot process. As Huffman explained, “Back in 2016, former Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer Shirl Boelter reached out to both Preble Township and the City of Whalan to see if they were interested in doing the ballot process� by mail. In 2016, the City of Whalan received 11 ballots by mail out of the 42 registered voters for the primary election. And, for the general election, they received 41 ballots by mail from 48 registered voters. That’s a

he cannot publicly share the data, but summarized that it’s “some very good news,â€? with test scores outperforming Kingsland’s expectations. Regarding the Longterm Facility Maintenance Indoor Air Quality (LTFM IAQ) planned upgrades, Hecimovich informed the board, “John (Dols) took our Halberg engineers around on the roof. They looked at all the units. So they’re going to start putting the design plans together‌ and we’d like to start the bidding process somewhere around January‌ They may end up running pipes on the rooftop, so they don’t have to tear hallways up‌ so it might be less invasive.â€? Tiffany Mundfrom brought up that sometimes, engineers can design things that don’t make complete sense to the construction crews, so staggering 85% of votes cast by mail. For Preble Township, in 2016, there were 21 ballots cast out of the 135 registered voters for the primary election. And, the general election garnered 98 mail-in ballots out of a total of 136 registered voters. According to Carrie Huffman, there are some basic requirements for a precinct to qualify for the mail ballot process. “They have to be under 400 registered voters in the precinct. They have to pass a resolution 90 days before the election. When it’s their first election, they need to notify all the registered voters in the precinct.â€? For precincts considering the mail ballot process, “The first election that the precincts go to mail balloting, they are required to notify all registered voters of this change,â€? shared Huffman. All mail ballot precincts have been provided with labels of each registered voter at clerks training, so letters could be mailed to registered voters. “The company that mailed out our ballots for us also sent out postcards to the registered voters letting them know that their ballots will be coming soon. We are trying to notify voters so that they are not confused on the process that is taking place. Some cities have put fliers in the utility bills and some have mailed notifications.â€? explained Huffman. When asked about voter feedback received from the mail ballot process, Huffman said, “The only issue we have had is that we have gotten a few bal-

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County she suggested being sure the designs are also shared with those who might be doing the work in the “real world.� Hecimovich agreed with this, and added that external piping (for heating and cooling) is becoming much more common. Hecimovich brought up a proposal for Kingsland to develop a policy on expense reimbursement to cover damages to staff property. He gave a hypothetical example of an angry student grabbing and damaging a teacher’s eyeglasses. He said he’s asked other school districts about this, and the consensus from superintendents is that such reimbursement is simply “the right thing to do.� He suggested possibly setting a yearly max for each employee, such as $400, and reassured the board that this type of reimbursement would likely only happen once or twice per year. Hecimovich will bring some options for the board to consider at the next

work session. Business Manager Amber Herbrand gave a financial update, and it was pointed out that the annual audit will begin Tuesday, August 14. The board discussed the bids that came in for milk and fuel suppliers. Bodean’s was the low bidder on fuel, and Dean Foods was lowest on milk. The board discussed some delays in the proceedings for selling the Wykoff buildings. It was pointed out that some parcels of land have not ever been updated regarding ownership, so there will be several “loose ends� to tie up before Kingsland can finalize any property sales. One major part of this will be the abatement of asbestos and mercury. Hecimovich said these abatements will be bidded out separately. The next regular board meeting will be Monday, August 20, at 6:30 p.m in the Choir Room. As always, the public is welcome.

lots back with no witness. Each ballot that a voter casts has to be witnessed in order for us to accept them. Some have nothing filled out and some just have a name and signature, but no address. Then, I send a letter to the voter letting them know that their ballot was rejected and I send them out a new bal-

lot for them to vote again and to get the witness section completed to ensure that their vote counts.� If you have any further questions regarding the mail ballot process, you can contact the Fillmore County Auditor/ Treasurer’s Office at (507) 7652665.

Caleb Eide had been a healthy five-year-old when he was diagnosed with leukemia. He spent more than two years enduring hundreds of treatments, but to no avail. He passed on July 29, 2016. To keep his spirit alive, family, friends and many others came together to form the Caleb Eide Memorial Foundation. The nonprofit provides a legacy for Caleb’s love of life by offering assistance to families affected by medical hardship, college scholarships to graduating seniors, and community grants.

I urge you to “like” our Caleb Eide Memorial Foundation Facebook page.” Last year’s tournament raised money to help two little girls battling cancer: a local child, Meela Hoover, and Anya Martinez, a friend of Caleb’s from the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Md. Both have the same type of leukemia as Caleb. The Foundation works directly with pediatric hospital social workers who provide anonymous profiles (with the families’ permission) of children with a life-threatening diagnosis. The board selects well-deserving families. The recipients this year are 16-year-old Logan Pleschourt from Medford, Minn., who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in October of 2017. The second is a local 6-year-old boy who is also battling childhood cancer and wishes to remain anonymous. Last year, the Foundation gave two $500 scholarships to Chatfield graduates Austin Hines and Kennedy O’Connor. The board worked with guidance counselors to create an application for seniors to submit. The board reviewed the submissions and selected the two students. The scholarship awards will continue every year. Despite everything Caleb was going through during his illness, his generous spirit shone through. He gave Christmas presents to children at the hospital to be sure everyone had a gift to open. The hospital had bingo and Caleb would bring back prizes for the children that were too sick to make it, even if it meant he didn’t get a prize for himself. Crystal said, “My heart aches to hold him, to hear him laugh, to see him smile, and I still can’t comprehend how life continues to go on without him. Watching a child fight cancer changes your outlook on life forever, so please don’t sweat the small stuff. Always be kind to others because you never know what they may be going through. The Foundation has helped me with the grieving process. I feel fortunate to have so many family, friends, and others involved in carrying out our mission!” “The tournament will go on rain or shine,” Crystal said. “Last year, we sent golfers out and had to bring them in three times

Preston’s new logo By Karen Reisner The Preston City Council approved a new city logo at their August 6 meeting. The trout superimposed over the Minnesota state outline has been the logo on the city’s letterhead, envelopes, business cards and so on. The new official logo is a simple fishhook on a line which represents the city’s theme, “Get Hooked on Preston.” Councilman David Collett was absent. The city’s sign in front of city hall will be upgraded with the new logo. Kelly Printing and Signs estimates the new sign will cost about $800. The city will transition over time to the new logo, using up existing materials inscribed with the old logo. Other business in brief • A variance was requested by Ron and Judy Johnson, 203 Center St. NE. The couple wants

to build an 8-foot x 12-foot utility shed on the south side of their cabin. They are requesting a variance allowing a setback of four feet from a principle structure (12 feet required by code). The unusually small size of the lot was discussed. The cabin is located in a B-1 zone which does not generally have yard setbacks. After a public hearing the Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance. The variance was approved; councilman Robert Maust voted no. • Conrad Anderson (Cecil’s son) agreed with proposed terms for the purchase of “outlot B” in an email. The terms include a purchase price of $10,000 and, if the well needs to be sealed, it will be the city’s responsibility. The council approved the terms and directed the city attorney to draft a purchase agreement. • Mayor Kurt Reicks congratulated Greg Davids for the recognition from the League of Minnesota Cities as 2018 Legislator of Distinction. Twentyfive legislators were recognized in 2018, 14 representatives and 11 senators. • The next Preston City Council meeting will be held on August 27 at 7 p.m. The first meeting in September will be held on Tuesday, September 4 at 6 p.m.

Red Cross urgently needs blood donations before summer ends As summer winds down, the American Red Cross urges individuals to give blood and platelets now and help end an emergency summer blood shortage. A critical need remains as many regular donors delay giving to take final summer vacations and prepare for school to start. To ensure lifesaving treatments remain available for patients in the coming weeks, donations are needed now, especially type O. In thanks for helping at this urgent time, those who come to donate blood or platelets July 30 -

August 30, 2018, will receive a $5 Amazon.com gift card via email. (Restrictions apply; see amazon. com/gc-legal. More information are available at RedCrossBlood.org/ Together.) Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1 (800) RED CROSS (1 (800) 733-2767). Those who donated blood earlier this summer may be eligible to give again. Blood can be safely given every 56 days, and Power Red donations

can be given every 16 weeks. Upcoming blood donation opportunities • Preston: August 15, 1-7 p.m. United Methodist Church, 212 St. Anthony St. N. • Rushford: August 16, 1-7 p.m., American Legion, 213 State Road 16 • Houston: August 21, 1:306:30 p.m., Ridgeway Community School, 35564 Winona County Road 12 • Spring Valley: August 23, 1-7 p.m., Community Center, 200 S.

Deadline approaches for Continuous Conservation Reserve Program Enrollment

Producers must file by August 17, one-year extension available to holders of many expiring contracts Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Richard Fordyce reminded producers today that the deadline to sign up for enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is Friday, August 17, 2018. “Any agricultural producer that has eligible land should review the benefits of this program,” said Fordyce. “It removes from production marginal, erodible land and, in doing so, improves water quality, increases wildlife habitat and provides more opportunities for recreational activities, including fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing.” For this year’s signup, limited priority practices are available for continuous enrollment. They include grassed waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others. View a full list of practices. FSA will use updated soil rental rates to make annual rental payments, reflecting current val-

ues. It will not offer incentive payments as part of the new signup. USDA will not open a general signup this year, however, a oneyear extension will be offered to existing CRP participants with expiring CRP contracts of 14 years or less. CRP grasslands Additionally, FSA established new ranking criteria for CRP grasslands. To guarantee all CRP grasslands offers are treated equally, applicants who previously applied (prior to the current sign-up period) will be asked to reapply using the new ranking criteria. About CRP In return for enrolling land in CRP, USDA, through FSA on behalf of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), provides participants that remove sensitive lands from production and plant certain grasses, shrubs and trees that improve water quality,

prevent soil erosion and increase wildlife habitat with annual rental payments and cost-share assistance. Landowners enter into contracts that last between 10 and 15 years. Signed into law by President Reagan in 1985, CRP is one of the largest private-lands conservation programs in the United States. Thanks to voluntary participation by farmers, ranchers and private landowners, CRP has improved water quality, reduced soil erosion and increased habitat for endangered and threatened species. The new changes to CRP do not impact the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, a related program offered by CCC and state partners. Producers wanting to apply for the CRP continuous signup or CRP grasslands should contact their USDA service center. To locate your local FSA office, visit https:// www.farmers.gov. More information on CRP can be found at www. fsa.usda.gov/crp.

highway rights of way

Placement of campaign and other advertising signage on any highway rights of way is not allowed under state law, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. All state, county, city and township roads and highways fall under the same state law. Highway rights of way include driving lanes, inside and outside shoulders, ditches and sight corners at intersections. Landowner consent is needed before signs are placed on private property outside of the right of way. MnDOT crews are required to remove unlawfully placed signs and impound them at one of its local maintenance truck stations. Violation of the law (Minn. Stat. 160.27) is a misdemeanor. Civil penalties also may apply if the placement of signs contributes to a motor vehicle crash and injures a person or damages a motor vehicle that runs off the road. The Minnesota Outdoor Adver-

tising Control Act (Minn. Stat. 173.15) also prohibits placing advertising materials on public utility poles, trees and shrubs, and painting or drawing on rocks or natural features. When improperly placed signs are removed by MnDOT, every effort is made to temporarily store the sign and notify the owner where the signs can be retrieved. For information about the proper placement of campaign signs or where to retrieve signs, contact the local MnDOT office

at (507) 286-7500 in the Rochester area and (507) 446-5500 in the Owatonna area. See also mndot.gov/govrel/rw_signs.html. When placing signs, the best way to avoid an emergency or unintentionally striking an underground facility is to call 811 before digging, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Go to the GSOC website, www.gopherstateonecall.org, and request that underground utilities be marked near the area of the digging.

instruct her to do so. She said she would then talk with the mayor to get all relevant data, so she could report accurately to the Attorney General. Pam Kunert stated, “I’ve been reading up on this after I received your letter (the letter sent from Gumbel to council members), and my concern is if we don’t report it,… the whole council will be responsible for that.” Gumbel agreed, and said the consequences could be “fairly severe” if a known potential conflict isn’t reported, and could include loss of funding for the street project, as well as legal charges against the mayor and council members. Kunert added a reminder to the council, saying, “Last year,

Monday, August 13, 2018

we made a decision that without full council approval, that we would not be contacting you (Gumbel), and I know that at least one if not two have contacted you, and that is a blatant problem.” DJ Start replied, “That was me,… and you didn’t?” Kunert answered, “I have not had anything to do with any of this.” Mayor Nesler clarified, “The conflict part has nothing to do with you?” Kunert said, “No, it does not…” Nesler responded, “It doesn’t stem from you?” He then asked how the city attorney became aware of the issue. Gumbel said she had been informed by the city clerk (Brincks) and a contractor. She went on to share her opinion that what matters is that the city is aware of the possible conflict, and must decide

what to do about it. Nesler retorted, “Well, you guys kind of put us in that spot.” After two citizens shared their opinions that Nesler is simply doing a job and helping fill a shortage on the street project, Gumbel said she has previously served years on a city council, and her experience taught her that, “The office conveys zero benefits, and creates a heck of a lot of duties” that council members must abide by. Nesler told Gumbel that his opinion is that, “Anybody in this town, whether they’re residents or on this council, should be able to contact you and have questions for you.” Gumbel replied, “You don’t want to necessarily have that policy… I’m not their attorney, I am the attorney for the corporate entity (the city of Ostrander)… Some people feel they can get their legal problems resolved on the city’s dime, and that’s not fair to the taxpayers.” She added that her standard answer when citizens seek her input is to refer them to the city clerk. The council voted three to one in favor of instructing Gumbel to report to the Attorney General (DJ Start voted against). Start also offered to pay the cost of the city attorney’s time for his call to her. Gumbel shared her concern about the friction between council members, and suggested the League of Minnesota Cities may be a good resource for Ostrander to consult in trying to work together. Later in the meeting, the council voted unanimously to approve scheduling a time for the League to come and make a presentation to the council. In other business, the council scheduled a closed meeting to discuss the city’s contract with Peopleservices. The meeting will be August 29 at 6 p.m. The council approved several bills related to the infrastructure project, including Bolton & Menk ($48,296), A-1 Excavating ($374,768), and Wapasha Construction ($66,454). After discussion about paying for the replacement of a damaged ball valve, the council voted 2:2, with Mayor Nesler declining to break the tie. Therefore, the council tabled approving the $79.56 bill until it can be determined whether or not it should be paid by Peopleservices. Deputy Leif Erickson submitted a written monthly report of police activity providing to Ostrander by the Fillmore County Sheriff’s department. He added, “I issued nine city tickets for the expired tags… vehicles that have been sitting in people’s yards… I gave them until the 14th of this month to get them taken care of, otherwise they turn into a state ticket.” City Clerk Brincks said Erickson’s efforts are having an impact, noting, “I’ve got a lot of tags paid.” The next regular meeting of the city council will be September 4 at 6:30 p.m. The public is welcome.

County reviews 2019 budget proposals By Karen Reisner The Fillmore County Board at its August 7 meeting continued the process of reviewing 2019 budget proposals from individual departments. Lisa Dierks, Southeast University of Minnesota Extension regional director, discussed an agreement between U of M Extension and Fillmore County. The agreement reflects a 2.2% increase for 2019 and a 2% increase for both 2020 and 2021. The county funding commitment is paid on a quarterly basis. The U of M is responsible for providing a half-time extension educator and the 4-H program coordinator. The county provides office space and office equipment. The contract was approved. Michael Cruse, extension educator, during the extension budget discussion, explained the advantages of a summer helper that works through late spring and summer getting ready for the fair and through fair time. An intern specifically for 4-H programs is very important for associated activities. A third summer intern position could work under Cruse helping with field work, research plots, and soil sampling. All three temporary positions would cost a total of about $17,000. Terry Schultz, building maintenance supervisor, said the

courthouse Titus System Program is obsolete, starting to fail and needs to be replaced. A quote from Winona Heating and Ventilating, Inc. in the amount of $22,370 to replace the system was approved. While discussing the 2019 Maintenance and Infrastructure budgets, Schultz noted some updates and repairs are needed. Two generators, pneumatic systems and fire alarm panels need to be either purchased or updated. Funding is in the budget. Jeff Brand, county surveyor, said salary and benefit changes are the only increases in his budget. All proposed budgets reflect a 2.5% salary increase and an increase for health insurance based on 15%. Other business in brief • Ken Kiehne, Harmony, asked for any help he could get during the citizens input portion. He owns 10 acres that he would like to make available for a building site. He maintained he has been paying taxes on it as a rural residential property. Because of the quarter, quarter restriction the property can not have a dwelling built on it under the current ordinance. The land has never been tilled. • A letter of support to Winona County for their proposal for a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency grant. The grant is for a feasibility study of a possible

regional source separated organics (SSO) facility in southeast Minnesota. Will such a food waste and other organic input composting facility be economically feasible? The county’s support does not cost the county anything or obligate it to anything in the future. • A resolution adopting the Toward Zero Death grant agreement with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety was approved. The agreement is for the period from October 1, 2018, through September 30, 2019. The funding in the amount of $13,971 is aimed toward reducing impaired and distracting driving and increasing the use of seat belts. There have been four fatalities so far this year. • Jessica Erickson, director of nursing, discussed the Joint Board of Health Community Health Services administrative role. The administrative and financial role is normally passed after five years to the other joint board member. The commissioners made it clear it is their intent to take over both roles from Houston County after the transition period. • Larry and Janice Johnson want to repurchase forfeited property in the city of Rushford. Approval was given for the buy back with payment in full of current and past due taxes.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

• Final payments to Milestone Materials for 2018 Rock Contract were approved. The payments were for CSAH 6, Pilot Mound Township, CSAH 8, Fillmore Township, and CR 114, York and Beaver Townships. • Sealed bids to lease in 2019 and 2020 the county farm (about 45 tillable acres) must be submitted by September 6. • A request to retire from Gary Skaggs, dispatcher, after 17 years of service was approved with thanks, effective January 31, 2019. • A request to hire replacement shop foreman effective no later than October 31 was approved. A request to advertise internally and externally for

Page 11

replacement head mechanic was approved. • The Medical Examiner contract was renewed for four years. The county pays $3.01 per capita (population 20,834) in 2019. There will be a six cents per capita increase in each of the next three years. • Approval was given to send out request for proposals for conference room upgrades in the courthouse and for courtroom equipment. • Approval was given for the Fillmore County EDA to submit an application for a USDA Rural Housing Preservation grant. Funds would be used for weatherization improvements and other improvements of work force housing.

Peterson mulls over projects

The Peterson Council deliberates on a number of city projects. Pictured, left to right, are Councilor Gail Boyum, Mayor Tim Hallum, and Councilors Loren Rue and Lisa Price. Photo by Kirsten Zoellner By Kirsten Zoellner The Peterson Council meeting, Wednesday, August 8, saw discussion of several small city projects either underway or in the planning stages. Absent from the meeting were City Clerk Chris Grindland and Councilor Dave Colbenson. Several municipal buildings are slated for upgrades. The public restrooms at the city park will need some minor alterations, including replacement of the concrete out front. The council will seek bid proposals for the work and is expecting to select a bid at the September meeting. Additionally, the wooden fence is in need of painting. It was

suggested the city could contract with Sentenced to Serve for this work. Councilor Lisa Price questioned whether or not the city can choose campsites for those making reservations at the park to begin farthest from the restrooms to allow for more open area around them. Mayor Tim Hallum suggested the lot layout could be placed on the city layout and campers could select which site they want. The concession stand at the park is also seeing some changes. Sentenced to Serve assisted with the painting of the underside of picnic area by concession stand. Councilor Gail Boyum

Monday, August 13, 2018 will check into a directional sign that’s been missing for some time. The exterior painting of the nearby wellhouse is also underway. Sentenced to Serve crews also recently assisted with scraping and painting at the city’s museum. “They scraped the top portion that volunteers couldn’t do and painted the overhangs, bringing their own scaffolding,� said Boyum. The council praised the work the crews did. August 11, volunteer crews were planning on finishing the painting of a second coat on the south and west sides of the museum. “This fulfills the grant we got,� said Boyum. “The grant for paint was through Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation. We need volunteers to come together.� Additional areas and projects recommended by the council included landscaping at the city sign and cleanup alongs the trail and bluff overlook. Sentenced to Serve will assist with the lanscaping, clipping up roses and weeding the area, but the work date is still undecided. “We made a list of a lot of stuff,� noted Hallum referencing the work that Sentenced to Serve has assisted with. “Hopefully, we’re moving forward.� Councilor Loren Rue suggested the crews could assist with brush cleanup along the tail and Boyum suggested clearing up the overlook. The Root River State Trail is maintained by the Department of Natural Resources and any work needs to be supervised by the department. Similarly, the overlook is state forest land, so it’s unclear whether the city can contract with crews on its own to clear areas or whether the state needs to put those plans in motion. Cleanup work on the trail has been underway this summer, specifically in the downtown Peterson area. “It looks really nice,� noted Boyum. The council has approved the purchase of two Black Hills spruce

trees to be placed near the intersection of County Road 25/Mill Street and Church Street, east of the trail and west of two grain bins owned by Chuck’s Feed & Grain. Cost for the trees is $470. This includes $125 for planting, $85 for travel, and $260 for the trees. In other news, several agenda items remain on hold. The city is still waiting on new e-meters from MiEnergy to upgrade electric utility. They are expected by the end of September. A Utility Disconnect Policy recommendations from the city attorney are also expected next month. The city currently has a policy related to past due balances and for the certifying of unpaid utility to property taxes, but unpaid utility bills continue to plague city budgets. Should a disconnect policy be put in place, it is expected to be combined with the current policy. A public hearing would

Page 19

be required if the council moves forward with the policy. Seven properties were identified earlier this year for non-compliance with city ordinances. To date, only one property owner has come forward to work with the city to address the issues. In a letter to the properties from the city attorney, no deadline date was issued. The next step will be a second letter from the attorney with a deadline. Less than a week remains on the timeline for filing for the expiring council seats. Positions up for grabs are Mayor (twoyear term), one 2-year council seat and two 2-year council seats. The positions are currently held by Tim Hallum, Lisa Price, Dave Colbenson, and Gail Boyum. Filing ends August 13. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Wednesday, September 12, at 6 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

)` ;HTT` +HUPLSZVU Remembering summer and family Summer is a time for us Minnesotans to soak up the sun and travel as much as we can. Many of my childhood summers included a trip to Sioux City, Iowa, to see my cousins. We lived every minute of the time we had and begged not to leave when Dad

was packing up the car. And, we were naughty — taking off on my cousin’s green moped to go a few blocks away to the candy store to just be able to spend more time together and avoid that long trip

Sigrid’s Society Chips

*Disclaimer — This is the most complex recipe I have ever put in my column. It is our grandma’s pickle recipe that I called her “green chunkâ€? pickles. Cousin Kim has taken over grandma’s recipes and is quite the canner of the family. A tribute to Grandma Sigrid. Four quarts whole dill size cukes in large crock and pour boiling water over them to cover. Do this four days, draining and using fresh water each day. On the fifth day, drain and slice into chunks and put back in the crock. Make a syrup of: 1 quart white vinegar 3 tbsp. pickling spice 8 drops green food coloring 8 cups sugar 2 tbsp pickling salt Bring these ingredients to a boil and pour over cukes. Do this three times, drain syrup in pot adding 1/2 cup sugar each day. On the 4th day, drain syrup in a pan and then boil, then add cukes and bring back to a boil. Next, pack in jars and water bath 10 minutes for quart jars. YES, this takes seven days!! Good luck!! If you have any questions, I may have to give out cousin Kim’s recipe hotline.

Jaxson Brand is happy to annouce the arrival of his little sister

Brooklyn Leigh Brand daughter of Jordan and Shelby Brand

Brooklyn was born on

July 15, 2018 weighing in at

7lb, 2oz and was 19 1/2 inches long Brooklyn is the granddaughter of Larry and Tina Jonsgaard of Lewiston and Paul and Pam Brand of Rushford

home. Well, that life came back full circle this weekend with a trip to Lake of the Ozarks with my three girl cousins from Sioux City. Well, that is, after I listened to my husband ask, “What I am going to eat when you’re gone? Are you making some food before you leave?â€? Augh, how fast can I get in the car. I must be getting either lazy or older or both because the thought of putting together meals for each day for one person made me “itchyscratchy,â€? as the cousins would say. Instead, I did what any wonderful wife would do and made a fast stop at the grocery store and bought a bunch of junk food he can cook — you know what I am talking about ladies, boxed mac n’ cheese, pizza, luncheon meat. When that mighty task was done and he also informed me that my camping friends promised to feed him at the campground, I knew it was safe to hit the road. From the moment we left, there wasn’t more than a minute of quiet time. The girls and I had six and a half hours of car time that was filled with so much laughter and reminiscing and I treasured every minute. Have you ever laughed so hard you can’t open your eyes? Been there. Have you ever been so engaged in your vacation that you forgot day it was, emailed people at work and were surprised no one was answering you? — then you realized it was Saturday. Did that. Our days were filled with being at the pool for hours, eating great food, having wonderful cocktails, and dancing on our deck to ‘80s and ‘90s tunes. We also Ubered to and from a restaurant for great seafood and steak and, as any good Iowa girl would do, my cousin was quick to inform the Uber driver that we all had a “permit to carry,â€? in case he tried any funny stuff. (I don’t have one but guess it was more threatening if we all were packing..ha!) Lastly, with sore feet and sunburns, we checked with each other to make sure we wouldn’t be the “old chicksâ€? if we went to bed before 9:30 p.m. We were wiped! The best part of this trip was the familiarity of the smiles and faces of my cousins because it was like going back home. Their dad and my dad were brothers and, with my parents both having passed, this time was able to spend with my cousins was the feeling you only get from being “home.â€? Thanks ladies for a sensational time and, until next year‌.love you all!

Harmony area youth are Shipwrecked during Vacation Bible School

Area youth gathered at Greenfield Lutheran Church July 28-August 2 and became Shipwrecked, but learned they are Rescued by Jesus! During the week, the campers discovered through Bible stories and games how Jesus rescues us through life’s storms. Through the Imagination Station, campers dove into exciting projects that helped them connect with Bible lessons. In addition, the campers sang fun praise songs, connecting them even further with the point of the day. VBS is being planned again for next summer and will be open to all area youth to attend.

Mabel ponders zoning permit changes

Mike Bubany explains bond options for Mabel street project. Photo by Rich Wicks By Rich Wicks The Mabel City Council has received a number of concerns from citizens about the current rules and process for getting a permit when citizens plan to make improvements on their properties. This was a main topic of discussion when the council met in regular session August 8. Members in attendance included Liz Folstad, Gary Morken, Mayor James Westby, City Clerk Karen Larson, and Terry Torkelson. Also in attendance was City Attorney Gregory Schieber. Kirsten Wyffels was absent. Council members said some citizens have complained about having to get a permit simply to make minor repairs, such as installing one new window. Karen Larson said another problem is citizens who simply ignore the requirement to get a permit beforehand, and take their chances on getting fined the current amount ($250). She’s checked with some other cities in the area, and was told the city should set a fine high enough to persuade citizens. The council considered possibly setting the fine as high as $1,000. Larson said the permit cost is only $25. The council also considered the possibility of changing the parameters of what requires a permit. Larson pointed out that the current ordinance is very old. City Attorney Schieber added that, “Maybe your ordinance is drafted such that it’s catching people you don’t want to catch, and don’t need to catch.” Council members asked about setting a standard “dollar amount” and requiring permits for any work above that. Schieber responded, “Probably better is to identify what are the activities we’d want people to check in,” and he gave an example of anything that expands the square footage of the building. Larson added that remodeling, new roofing, and siding are also upgrade that perhaps should require a permit. Schieber will review the current ordinance and bring back suggestions to the council at an upcoming meeting.

No action was taken at this time. Another item with significant discussion was the possibility of changing the city’s zoning and/ or ordinances to possibly allow commercial properties to have a residential portion on the ground floor. Historically, most cities,

including Mabel, have dictated that properties in the business district or “downtown” cannot have residential spaces on the main floor. This is why many stores have apartments on the second floor. But, as Schieber explained, small towns are facing a tough choice nowadays. As there become fewer and fewer businesses downtown, there are many buildings sitting vacant. Some cities are allowing businesses to have an “apartment in the back” as a way to attract new businesses to the community. Schieber suggested one “middle ground” option could be to allow conditional use permits for such situations. Council members discussed possibly setting a limit, such as no more than 40% of a downtown building to be used for residential purposes. Schieber noted that if the city chooses to pursue such a change, this would require a public hearing and careful consideration. He will bring more information to the next meeting, if possible. Mike Bubany presented the council with his recommendations for bonds to fund the city’s construction project. He explained that he suggests three bonds, each for $150,000. He

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. explained that under this plan, interest rates for two of the bonds will be below market rate and that, “The net effect of all of this combined, though…. Is way below what you could have done if we had just done a conventional $450,000 microloan.” The council voted to approve the bonding plan as presented. The council heard from Curt Marx (Davy Engineering) regarding the city’s manhole project. He explained that although delays have occurred for several reasons, the project is on target to be completed within revised timelines. He asked the council to set a special meeting to consider approving “substantial completion” of the project, since he said the next regular meeting (September 12) is too close to the project’s deadline. The council set a special meeting for August 22 at 5:30 p.m. Craig Arneson addressed the council regarding the city’s decision to no longer allow the fire department to deliver water (via the pumper truck) to citizens outside of city limits. Arneson said his property is outside out the city and has no well, but for several years he’s had the fire department bring water to fill his cistern, up to 2,500 gallons roughly four times per year. He said he’s always written a check

to the department to pay for this service. He asked the council to consider allowing this to continue. Later, the council discussed the reasons for their recent decision to stop this practice. They chose to make no changes or exceptions to the recent decision. The council considered a request from the Mabel Liquor Store to allow alcohol sales along the parade route during Steam Engine Days. If approved, the sales would happen from a “side by side” ATV that would drive along the route while spectators awaited the parade. Mayor Westby said the Lions Club had gotten approval for a similar request, but backed out due to negative feedback from citizens. A motion was made to approve the request from the Mabel Liquor Store, but it died for lack of a second. The council summarized the joint meeting of Mabel City Council, Canton City Council, and Mabel-Canton School Board that was held on July 24.

Spotted: Contender in Canton By Rich Wicks The Mabel City Council has received a number of concerns from citizens about the current rules and process for getting a permit when citizens plan to make improvements on their properties. This was a main topic of discussion when the council met in regular session August 8. Members in attendance included Liz Folstad, Gary Morken, Mayor James Westby, City Clerk Karen Larson, and Terry Torkelson. Also in attendance was City Attorney Gregory Schieber. Kirsten Wyffels was absent. Council members said some citizens have complained about having to get a permit simply to make minor repairs, such as installing one new window. Karen Larson said another problem is citizens who simply ignore the requirement to get a permit beforehand, and take their chances on getting fined the current amount ($250). She’s checked with some other cities in the area, and was told the city should set a fine high enough to persuade citizens. The council considered possibly setting the fine as high as $1,000. Larson said the permit

cost is only $25. The council also considered the possibility of changing the parameters of what requires a permit. Larson pointed out that the current ordinance is very old. City Attorney Schieber added that, “Maybe your ordinance is drafted such that it’s catching people you don’t want to catch, and don’t need to catch.” Council members asked about setting a standard “dollar amount” and requiring permits for any work above that. Schieber responded, “Probably better is to identify what are the activities we’d want people to check in,” and he gave an example of anything that expands the square footage of the building. Larson added that remodeling, new roofing, and siding are also upgrade that perhaps should require a permit. Schieber will review the current ordinance and bring back suggestions to the council at an upcoming meeting. No action was taken at this time. Another item with significant discussion was the possibility of changing the city’s zoning and/ or ordinances to possibly allow commercial properties to have a residential portion on the ground floor. Historically, most

cities, including Mabel, have dictated that properties in the business district or “downtown” cannot have residential spaces on the main floor. This is why many stores have apartments on the second floor. But, as Schieber explained, small towns are facing a tough choice nowadays. As there become fewer and fewer businesses downtown, there are many buildings sitting vacant. Some cities are allowing businesses to have an “apartment in the back” as a way to attract new businesses to the community. Schieber suggested one “middle ground” option could be to allow conditional use permits for such situations. Council members discussed possibly setting a limit, such as no more than 40% of a downtown building to be used for residential purposes. Schieber noted that if the city chooses to pursue such a change, this would require a public hearing and careful consideration. He will bring more information to the next meeting, if possible. Mike Bubany presented the council with his recommendations for bonds to fund the city’s construction project. He explained that he suggests three bonds, each for $150,000. He explained that under this plan, interest rates for two of the

{ We Live Where We Work }

bonds will be below market rate and that, “The net effect of all of this combined, though…. Is way below what you could have done if we had just done a conventional $450,000 microloan.” The council voted to approve the bonding plan as presented. The council heard from Curt Marx (Davy Engineering) regarding the city’s manhole project. He explained that although delays have occurred for several reasons, the project is on target to be completed within revised timelines. He asked the council to set a special meeting to consider approving “substantial completion” of the project, since he said the next regular meeting (September 12) is too close to the project’s deadline. The council set a special meeting for August 22 at 5:30 p.m. Craig Arneson addressed the council regarding the city’s decision to no longer allow the fire department to deliver water (via the pumper truck) to citizens outside of city limits. Arneson said his property is outside out the city and has no well, but for several years he’s had the fire department bring water to fill his cistern, up to 2,500 gallons roughly four times per year. He said he’s always written a check to the department to pay for this

service. He asked the council to consider allowing this to continue. Later, the council discussed the reasons for their recent decision to stop this practice. They chose to make no changes or exceptions to the recent decision. The council considered a request from the Mabel Liquor Store to allow alcohol sales along the parade route during Steam Engine Days. If approved, the sales would happen from a “side by side” ATV that would drive along the route while spectators awaited the parade. Mayor Westby said the Lions Club had gotten approval for a similar request, but backed out due to negative feedback from citizens. A motion was made to approve the request from the Mabel Liquor Store, but it died for lack of a second. The council summarized the joint meeting of Mabel City Council, Canton City Council, and Mabel-Canton School Board that was held on July 24. The council plans to continue sending representatives if the group continues meeting twice per year as planned. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. The council’s special meeting was set for August 22 at 5:30 p.m. The next regular meeting will be September 12, at 7 p.m. at the community center.

Delivering the news every week!

Without the support of our advertisers, we could not provide meaningful coverage of city council, county board, and school board meetings. We also could not provide free obituaries, along with free birth, engagement, wedding, and military service announcements. Without the support of our advertisers, there would be no sports section, and no recognition of the accomplishments of our youth. And, we wouldn't be able to provide all of the great human interest stories that capture the interests and hearts of our readers. And, we thank our readers for not only supporting this publication by reading the newspaper cover-to-cover each week, but for also supporting the businesses that advertise in this publication.

August 6 — Gasoline prices in Minnesota have risen 1.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.79/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,856 stations in Minnesota. This compares with the national average that is unchanged versus last week to $2.86/g, according to GasBuddy. Average gasoline prices on August 6 in Minnesota have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.29/g in 2017, $2.07/g in 2016, $2.53/g in 2015, $3.29/g in 2014 and $3.57/g in 2013. Including the change locally during the past week, prices yesterday were 49.7 cents per gallon higher than a year ago and are 5.9 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has dropped 0.7 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 52.1 cents per gallon higher than

a year ago. Areas near Minnesota and their current gas price climate: • Wisconsin — $2.83/g, up 0.8 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.82/g. • Fargo — $2.65/g, up 0.8 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.64/g. • Twin Cities — $2.78/g, up 1.1 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.77/g. “The national average price of gasoline jumped to start last week before slowly tapering off during the latter half, but remains very close to their week ago levels. Oil prices have held under $70 per barrel, giving promise to gas prices that will continue to hold south of $3 per gallon and near where they have spent much of the summer so far,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for

GasBuddy. “With several bullish and bearish factors weighing on oil prices, you may see gas prices stuck in some sort of late summer blues before motorists see more sizable relief coming after Labor Day. Refiners continue to hum along meeting high demand with few kinks, leading to gas prices that have remained between $2.80-$2.89 per gallon the entire summer thus far.” For LIVE fuel price averages, visit FuelInsights.GasBuddy.com.
