Farm. Darrell explains “it started six or seven years ago when somebody from Wis. came and bought six snow goslings, and they placed a radio collar on one of them, and filmed them flying over N.Y. and up and down the Mississippi River” from a new and different perspective. Lois says “we didn’t know they were using these goslings for a documentary on migration” and had seen the program on PBS but didn’t know they were their geese at the time they watched it. Darrell says “they in turn, must have gotten a hold of contacts in England and given them our name” and before you know it, a production crew including people from places such as England, Australia, and Calif came to Sunnyside Farm to film. The production crew wanted to film goslings and their parents and “they didn’t want the goslings to be more than two days old”, states Darrell. The filming crew kept in close contact with the Rays, checking on when the goslings would be born, and to see if there had been any changes. When the production crew came on a Tuesday in early June 2015, the goslings had been born the prior Sunday and Monday. Eleven goslings were used in the film. Lois says “it was quite a production” and they had “an amazing amount of equipment” including a huge light that she called “the sun” See Geese Page 2
Pre-order publication deadline approaches on September 1 for Boots & Badges: Honoring Fillmore County Veterans By Jason Sethre jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The team at the Fillmore County Journal has graciously accepted the challenge of assembling a book, with the help of the public, honoring the Veterans of Fillmore County. Leading up to our June 30, 2015 photo and content submission deadline, we saw a swell of visitors in our entryway. And, we greatly appreciate how patient each visitor was as we scanned photos and took pictures of memorabilia.
We have heard many stories from Veterans and their family members. And, we know that this book will become a piece of history to last generations. There was the daughter of one Veteran who brought in photos and items for the book without her father knowing that it would be submitted. She pre-ordered a book to give to her father as a gift, telling us that she can’t wait to see his expression when he sees his face in this book. See Boots Page 12
Canton asks for cleaner streets By Liz Giese liz@fillmorecountyjournal.com
Following recent street repairs, the Canton City Council addressed concerns of horse droppings on city streets at their regular meeting on August 12. Street repairs were recently completed in Canton and the council agreed that they are satisfied and the streets look good. Mayor Donivee Johnson noted that the council had decided to use liquor store funds to pay for the street repairs, but that was not possible, as half of that CD is held as collateral. She went on to state that the repairs can be paid from the general fund, as there are sufficient funds in this year’s budget. Councilor Cindy Shanks

raised concerns about the ongoing problem with horse droppings in town. It was noted that the Amish used to park their horses and walk into town, but the old hitching spot is no longer used much. The council agreed that they should find a spot close to downtown where the Amish can hitch their horses and access the bank and businesses without having to walk too far. There is currently one place behind ZZ Tap where horses can be hitched. The council also thought it would be a good idea to approach one of the Amish bishops with the issue as they have been cooperative and helpful in the past. The council decided to try to See Canton Page 3

because it was so bright. Darrell and the production crew, along with the Rays’ son-on-law, Greg Dornink, and granddaughter, Jenny Dornink, spent Tuesday and Wednesday scouting locations to film on the Rays’ land and the crew also spent time putting their equipment together. Thursday the group filmed in two different locations. In the morning they filmed in the Rays’ yard and in the afternoon they went to a nearby pasture and continued filming until almost 8 p.m. One specific shot the production crew wanted was of the parents and the goslings in the grass with no people or buildings in the background. Greg Dornink and daughter Jenny were the “goose wranglers” who tried to keep the geese in camera range. It was not easy, as Jenny says the geese wanted to walk away from the camera and the bright light. Greg explains “they filmed forwards,

Photo by Barb Jeffers backwards and in 3-D” with the 3-D version assumedly to be used in IMAX format. Greg even cut a piece of sod, turned a five-gallon pail upside down, and placed the sod on top in order to film the goslings up close “in the grass” which was another interesting situation. Lois says the production crew “were very interesting fellows to talk to” and they were very nice people. Although she adds that “there is so much security” and secrecy by the production team to protect their idea from being stolen that they are not told very much. The Documentary EARTHFLIGHT, A Nature Special Presentation is a series produced by John Downer. On the PBS website, pbs.org, it states “It took EARTH-
FLIGHT series producer John Downer and his team four years to film more than 100 bird species in 40 different countries. Using strategically placed cameras, including tiny HD cameras placed on the backs of trained birds, this six-part series captures amazing viewpoints that have never been seen before.” Episode One, which airs on PBS on Wednesday, September 4 at 8 p.m., consists of Snow geese, pelicans, and bald eagles flying over the Great Plains, the Grand Canyon, Alaska, New York City, and the Golden Gate Bridge as they encounter and engage with bears, dolphins, bison, and spawning fish. Darrell has always had “a love of poultry” and says when he was seven years old his parents bought him some Buff Orpington chicks
Call the FCJ at 507-765-2151 to advertise or offer news tips! and he says “I was hooked before that”, but that was his first time taking care of his own poultry. Lois states Darrell loves anything with feathers, saying “I understand he was obsessed with anything with feathers on it from the time he found out there were such things” and his passion has grown since. In the fall after their first year of marriage, the couple dressed many domestic ducks and some turkeys. Afterwards, Lois asked Darrell “why don’t you get something easier to do” so in 1957 they purchased their first pair of Canada geese. They now have over 200 birds. Sunnyside Farm currently has seven kinds of geese including Maxima Canada (largest of the Canada race), Dusky Canada, Cackler Canada (smallest of the Canada race), Snows, Blues (a phase of the Snow), Pacific White Front (also called speckled bellies) and Barnacles. Jenny Dornink, who also raises geese, says the whole experience with the production crew was “very
interesting” but adds “it’s not the industry I would go in to just because it took so long to get set up for the perfect shot” and there is a lot of waiting. Greg Dornink agreed, commenting that after filming Thursday until 1 p.m., they hoped to get “14 minutes of film” that they could use. Darrell and Greg are both state and federally licensed to sell geese and Darrell states “we ship goslings all over the United States” and beyond, saying the farthest they have shipped them is Brazil. Most of the time, they have no idea what happens to their geese after they leave Sunnyside Farm. Who knows, there could be other movie stars flying around out there that came from Sunnyside Farm.

communicate with the local bishops and to give thought to a location downtown that could be used for hitching horses. Ordinance review Mayor Johnson asked the council for direction on how to handle ATVs and golf carts when updating the code. Extensive discussion followed, with many ideas exchanged, before a consensus was reached on the priorities of the council relating to ATVs and golf carts. The council noted that some people use recreational vehicles as a primary source of transportation and they don’t want to discourage riders from coming into town to go to local businesses. Young kids riding around town for fun was the primary concern, as it is a danger to both the kids and the

community. As for golf carts, the council agreed to limit operator age to 16 and older, to allow use only during daytime hours, to require passengers to be seated and to require liability insurance. For ATVs, the council agreed to allow use on city streets, but they decided to limit use to the “most direct route”. The city will issue a permit for each golf cart or ATV for a fee and failure to abide by the ordinance will result in suspension or revocation of the permit. Fees will be set once the council has had an opportunity to look into the costs of implementing a permit system for recreational vehicles. Mayor Johnson stated that she would make the updates as agreed upon by the council and check with city attorney Richard Nethercut to be sure any changes to the code are
in accordance with state law. Once he approves the updates, she will send it out to the council to review for the next meeting. The matter was tabled until next month. Other business City maintenance worker Jon Nordsving reported that a lift station by the county shed had motor issues. He added that this pump was discontinued so he’d have to find a new one, but it was within the one year warranty, so it should not cost anything. In the meantime he is pumping the well so it can still be used. Nordsving also informed the council that the water tower had not yet been cleaned. He noted that he would prefer to paint the whole tower at once, rather than having the roof and the rest of the tower on different schedules, so he is still waiting for the cleaning to find out if the roof can wait another

C ommentary “Running Against the Facts!” By Yvonne Nyenhuis Recently Pope Francis, in a stunning papal encyclical, addressed the issue of global warming. He called for changes in lifestyles and energy consumption to avert the unprecedented Yvonne destruction Nyenhuis of the ecosystem. He observed that numerous scientific studies indicate that the greater part of global warming is due to the concentration of green house gas given off by human activity. (Ref. Huff. Post) While this announcement from the Pope was extraordinary, what really amazed me was the response from prominent Republicans. In recent weeks, whenever Republican Presidential hopefuls were asked about climate change they would answer as if following a memorized script. “I’m not a scientist.” Jeb Bush repeated this mantra and then to my astonishment criticized the Pope suggesting that the Pope “should stick to religion” and not venture into the realm of science. Actually Pope Francis is a scientist. He has a masters degree in chemistry. As I heard other Republicans echoing Jeb Bush. It dawned on me that they are unwilling to confront the scientific truth of what is happening to our planet. I realized when I thought about it, that this is a pattern with Republicans in government, avoiding responsibility. These are people who want to lead our country! President Obama sought Republican input in the discusEditorial Cartoon
sion on affordable healthcare, for a year. Republicans refused to participate unless Democrats scrapped the existing reform bills that had passed in the Senate the previous year, and start over. By establishing a premise that was totally unrealistic Republicans again relinquished responsibility. Republicans like to think they are strong on national security. The President invited debate in congress concerning the ongoing threat of terrorism, the use of drones, the number of troops in Iraq and supplying weapons to those who are doing the fighting. Again Republicans refused to debate or vote. Republicans criticize the President’s every move, but are unwilling to be involved in the decision making. While we combat terrorism abroad, we have done little to curb violence here at home. When the National Rifle Association had their convention in April of 2015 in Nashville, Tenn., it was attended in force by Republican Presidential hopefuls seeking the support of the N.R.A. Among the medley were Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee, Scott Walker, and Rick Santorum. Also on the scene was Jeb Bush, who defended the “Stand your Ground” law he signed in 2005 when he was Governor of Fla. The Republicans regaled with passion their love of guns and their fervent support for the Second Amendment! There was the usual shouting and screaming, “The Government will take away your guns! The Democrats will take away your guns”! Of course it’s not true. The Government is not a threat to gun owners and Democrats are also gun owners. The N.R.A
is not interested in the safety of Americans. They are a gun lobby. Their main interest is selling guns. They fight reasonable regulation using fear and intimidation. Again Republicans forfeit responsibility. “Mother Jones” reports “Guns kill 33,000 Americans and injure 80,000 a year. The total annual cost of gun violence in the United States is 229 billion dollars.” Immigration is another pregnant concern. Republicans like to accuse Democrats of being for “Amnesty”. Republicans maintain that nothing can be done about immigration until we “secure the border!” It is not possible to secure the border! In using this as a premise they are insuring that nothing will be done about immigration! The Dream Act has been introduced which would allow undocumented young people who were brought to this country as babies or small children and who know no other country but this, to become citizens. Even this reasonable step has been rebuffed by hard liners. Another item on the Republican agenda is making abortion illegal. The party of “personal freedom”thinks legislators should determine the laws that control women’s reproductive health instead of doctors. Scott Walker recently signed a bill into law restricting abortion to twenty weeks and making no exceptions for rape and incest. From past experience we know that making abortion illegal doesn’t stop abortions. Desperate women will turn to amateurs who are not skilled and practice in unsanitary conditions. Again Republicans are unwilling to deal with the complex issues women face. In reality, the best way to reduce the number of abortions is through education and making prevention accessible and

Unemployment reality vs. statistics
By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com According to the U.S. Department of Labor, June 2015 showed unemployment statistics of 3.9% for the State of Minn. The Midwest (12 states) average unemployment for the same period was 5.0%, while Jason Sethre the national average unemployment hovered around 5.3%. So, Minn. is boasting strong employment figures. I don’t need to see any statistics to derive the reality of our employment situation. As I visit with business owners
in a wide variety of industries, such as manufacturing, accounting, restaurants, hospitality, construction, senior care, and many more, I hear the same thing. There are more jobs than there are applicants. So, if you know someone who doesn’t have a job, just hand them a copy of our classifieds section. Surely, there are plenty of opportunities. What I am also hearing on Main Street in our region is that wages are up. More employers are paying more than they ever have before for an entry level position. This tremendous swell in employment opportunities points to a few other considerations. Teenage wasteland? Somebody once said, “Teenagers should be seen, not heard.” Well, at this point, they are neither in the workplace around our
region. Many employers say they are not seeing as many young people applying for jobs as they used to just a couple years ago. Is it that the teens in this area don’t need the money? Are their parents giving them everything they need to the extent they don’t feel they need to work to earn money? Are they playing high school sports or other extra curricular activities, so they don’t have the time to work? As conversations unravel with employers in this area, these are the types of questions they are pondering. Minimum wage Yes, I’m going to touch on this again. Surely, you probably already know where I stand on this issue. I think “burger flippers” in New York should not be making $15 per hour, as a minimum wage requirement. If they want to earn more money, they should seek another job opportunity that pays
Formal complaint filed against commissioners This is a letter that was sent to all the Houston County Commissioners and the County Attorney. Houston County Protectors are officially charging three Commissioners with malfeasance based on past actions. This is a letter of formal complaint against Commissioners Judy Storlie, Steve Schuldt, and Teresa Walter for malfeasance in voting to issue a CUP for the Erickson mine. The following are reasons that vote should not have proceeded and why the resulting permit is invalid. An invalid process cannot yield a valid permit. Numerous CUP violations were reported on several occasions to the Planning and Zoning Administrator, Environmental Services Director, Planning Commission Chair, and all of the County Commissioners.

were in person, writing, email, public comments, and in meetings with Planning and Zoning with Commissioners present. There are witnesses, copies of written documents and video tape evidence to support this claim. The Planning and Zoning Administrator purposefully misrepresented the facts to the EQB, Planning Commission, and County Board. The evidence of these violations is so obvious that he cannot claim they do not exist. If he could not see or understand the evidence of violations, he is incompetent and must be relieved of his duty for that reason. You have been shown the evidence on multiple occasions.

If these violations had been acknowledged, there would have been a public hearing and formal debate before the County Commissioners voted on the CUP. The Commissioners knowingly chose to ignore validly reported evidence of CUP violations to facilitate a permit that Planning and Zoning had already demonstrated a bias and favoritism toward based

on independent investigation results. There is still a pending EAW for the Erickson mine. The petitioned EAW was specifically for the Erickson mine and not the greater Minnesota Sands combined project. While it could be argued it was for a larger proposed project at that time, the EAW was granted by the County Board and was never rescinded. As the EQB Board specifically indicated, there is a process to go through to be released from an EAW. The Board has not gone through that process yet. The EAW is still pending and certainly was at the time you voted to approve the permit. According to State Statute, no action on a permit is allowed while Environmental review is pending. Again you knowingly broke State law. The Board was made aware of the issue on several occasions. There was also an EAW required for the original 1992 permit, because at that time the mine exceeded 40 acres. That was never done. A properly filed appeal to the Board of Adjustment was inappropriately dismissed by the Environmental Services Director. In his letter of dismissal he states that we cannot appeal the ruling of the Planning Agency, we can only appeal the decision schnauzer Mix Male • Dog • Adult
Rowdy is a sweet, fun, easy-going boy who loves attention. He will play with his tennis ball as long as you are willing to throw it! He loves to go for walks on the leash. He requires regular grooming; he is very well-behaved for all grooming. He is working on crate training and is housebroken if you keep him on a schedule and use the crate while you are gone. He will bark when first put in the crate. He will not let you know when he needs to go potty, but will bark to come in. He will need a secure, fenced yard. He has separation anxiety and may do best as an only dog. He has not lived with small children, so is nervous around them. He is also nervous around new people and situations, so will need someone to reassure him he is not in a scary place! He will require an initial period of adjustment, then he will relax into your routine. He bonds well with people and once he gets to know you, he is your best friend and will not leave your side. For someone who works part-time or is home most of the time, he would be a loving, faithful, excellent companion. Rowdy’s adoption fee is $300.

more. That’s the American way. Every job pays a certain wage based on the skill set required. Nobody is holding the “burger flippers” hostage and telling them they have to work in their positions for their company. That’s part of operating in a free market economy. Let the market dictate wages. When there are more job opportunities than there are qualified applicants, employees become more valuable in the workforce. Employers have to pay more to keep outstanding employees, and they have to pay more when hiring new employees. It’s a competitive employment marketplace right now. Baby Boomers When the bottom dropped out with the financial crisis in 2007 and 2008, many 401k and IRA plans went in the tank, taking huge leaps backwards for those looking forward to retirement in the years to come. So, how many Baby Boomers
had to change their plans and continue to work a few more years until the economy recovered and their retirement funds returned to a respectable level? I don’t have the answer to that question, but it seems very likely that many Baby Boomers are hanging on to their jobs longer than they had planned. But, there will come a day when those Baby Boomers are ready to hang it up and enjoy what they have worked so hard to accumulate. According a Gallup poll conducted in 2014, 32% of the 76.4 million Baby Boomers in America are still working today. That’s 24.4 million people in the workforce, a large fraction of the total of 123 million total American workforce. What will happen when they retire? We are going to see a flood of job openings. Let’s just say, it’s going to get interesting.
of an administrative official. In fact, the Planning Agency decision was not what we were appealing and we were in fact appealing the decision of the Planning and Zoning Administrator’s and the Environmental Services Director’s error saying there were no permit violations, there was no pending environmental review, and the fact that they ignored what was written on the original permit (nontransferable). Had this appeal not been inappropriately dismissed, the permitting process would have been stayed until these issues were decided by the Board of Adjustment. The Board has been made aware of this violation on several occasions. An independent investigation has shown there was bias and favoritism shown in favor of the Erickson permit and that people who spoke out against it were retaliated against. This is also a reason to invalidate the Erickson permit that the Board has long been aware of. The original permit in 1992 was granted based on false statements, such as the mine would not be visible from the scenic byway (Hwy. 16) and that the mine would not cut into the hill. It is true the Minnesota Appeals Court has recently ruled on the narrow issue of the requirement of a Trout Stream Setback Permit for that mine as long as less than 10,000 cubic yards per year are mined. The above issues were never presented to the Court and therefore were not part of the ruling. The ruling assumed the permit was valid in the first place. In fact, Ericksons did not have a valid permit to appeal because the permit was issued based on false statements and an invalid process, therefore the permit
itself is invalid. In summary, several County employees and officials have been complicit in misrepresenting the facts and covering up wrongdoing. These include Bob Scanlan, Rick Frank, Dan Griffin, and Samuel Jandt more recently, who has been aware of all this since January, 2015. In particular, three Commissioners; Judy Storlie, Steve Schuldt, and Teresa Walter, have knowingly and intentionally acted on a permit when there were several legal problems as stated above by taking action to issue a CUP to the Erickson mine. The Commissioners are also responsible for oversight of the offending employees. This pattern of continued disrespect for the State and County rules represents malfeasance on the part of the three Commissioners. Given the record above, we request the Commissioners to take action to revoke the Erickson Permit and initiate disciplinary action with the employees and officials involved in this injustice.

Mabel-Canton struggles to get SAC program off the ground By Hannah Wingert The Mabel-Canton school board met on August 18 at 7 p.m. The board extended a warm welcome back to the students, staff, and families of the Mabel-Canton school district, as they will be starting another school year soon. The 2015-16 school breakfast and lunch prices were approved. Federal regulation mandated a $0.10 increase in all prices. The hirings of Russell Larson as the B-Team boys basketball coach, Stena Lieb as a .2 fte Art teacher, and Tanya Kidder as a special ed paraprofessional for the 2015-
16 school year were approved. A 3-year contract with food service management company Taher was approved. School business manager Todd Netzke noted that with the increase in breakfast and lunch prices, the district should break even in revenues and expenditures. A donation in the amount of $800.00 from the Salvation Army for the milk program was accepted with gratitude. The 50/50 fundraiser raffle for the 2015-16 Junior class was approved. It will run through the fall sports and possibly into the

winter and spring sports sessions. The school business manager, Todd Netzke, updated the board on the 2014-15 fiscal year budget. Revenues are coming in on target, but the school could come up a little short for state aid this year. The budget is currently at 98.1% for the fiscal year. The district bills and electronic fund transfers were approved after review by the board. The board watched a short video released by the Minnesota State High School League as a requirement for being a member of the MSHSL. The video emphasized the role of coaches in students’ lives and encouraged coaches to move from being transactional coaches to transformative. 97% of school athletes do not play organized sports after graduating from high school and so there needs to be less of an emphasis on performance and winning and more on mentoring and “team family” to give kids life skills and experiences. The MSHSL is urging coaches, athletes, and families to look beyond the trophy. The board found the video to be informative and interesting and are planning to have all students and staff members watch it at some point. A student from Spring Grove has asked to join the MabelCanton cheerleaders as the Spring Grove school does not offer that program. In order for her to do so, the two schools would need to form a co-op and the Spring Grove school district would need to join the MSHSL. Mabel-Canton reached out to Spring Grove, but they were not interested in forming a co-op at this time. Dean of Students Michelle Weidemann reported that although a lot of interest in the SAC program was generated, only four students have been registered for the morning portion and eight for the afternoon. This falls short of the 10 student minimum
needed to run the program. She extended the deadline from July 31 to August 21 and is hoping that several more families will sign up before the new deadline. Weidemann has been advertising around the community and emailing district families with little to no results. Superintendent Jennifer Backer noted that a lot of time and work has gone into putting the program together and it would be good to see it going. The school district is working on hiring someone to head the program up, but as board member Mary Pat Kuhn pointed out, it is risky to hire someone for a program that does not have enough children registered to run it yet. Weidemann reported that the

day at The Gateway on Thursday. This is an event that many look forward to. On Saturday morning, there was an annual walk in memory of Tess Landherr of Rose Creek for a scholarship fund in her name. Tess died in an automobile accident while a student at Adams High School. Lynn Kidd’s daughter and family were very close to this family. Diane did the walk and Lynn went to give chair massages to the walkers. Security State Bank had their appreciation picnic on tuesday at the VFW in Spring Valley and was well attended. Christina Harman of Mankato spent the weekend with Pastor Michael, Rhonda, and Matthias Harman. The needed rain came on Monday morning. Janelle Campeau and family were weekend visitors of John and JoAnn Glady. They all attended Ag Days in Spring Valley, where Julia and Jacques ran in the Little Huskers race. Julia placed third in the 4-5 age group, and Jacques was first in the 2-3 age group. MCA scores are in and that the students did great. The district will continue to focus on reading and math skills. Backer was happy to announce that the teaching staff for the 2015-16 school year has all been hired. The district still has several paraprofessional positions that they are seeking to fill. The membership to the MSHSL for the upcoming school year was approved. Netzke presented the 10 year revenue and expenditure report for long-term facility maintenance. The board approved the report. Backer formally invited the members of the school board to the August 31 teacher workshop. The next meeting will be held September 15 at 7 p.m. The first day of school will be September 8.

Monday, August 24, 2015 He graduated from Mabel-Canton High School in 1976. He continued his education at Rochester Area Vocational Technical Institute in auto mechanics. He married Laurie Gillund on September 18, 1988. They were blessed with two beautiful daughters, Celeste and Channing, who were undoubtedly his greatest gifts. They were later divorced, but Celeste and Channing remained his pride and joy. Dennis was a loving and devoted dad, son, brother, and uncle, always putting the needs of his family first. He was employed at Mabel Farm Equipment until its closing. He then started his own business, Bergey Repair, which he owned and operated at his farm. With his vast knowledge and self-made talent, Dennis was well known as the mechanic who could fix anything. His specialty was repairing the older models of “RED” tractors. Dennis was a senior member of the Canton Volunteer Fire Department, which he held in the highest regard. He was on call 24/7, another example of his dedication to his neighbors. Dennis loved life and lived his to the fullest. He was a true “people person”, because of which he had an entire community of best friends. He was always available to help anyone at anytime. He was very humble and had the unique ability to become a lifelong friend to everyone he met. He enjoyed spending time with his daughters, family, and friends; riding his Harley, organizing hayrides, golfing, playing cards, cooking, grilling, and sharing his great recipes with others. He is survived by his daughters: Celeste stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Channing of Minneapolis, Minn.; mother, Eloise of Harmony; two sisters: Diane (Steve) Allbee of Dunn Loring, Va, Danette (Tim) Daniels of Waconia, Minn.; four brothers: Don (Deb) of Canton, Dave (Karen) of Harmony, Dean of Harmony, and Doug (Debbie) Spring Valley; many nieces and nephews; great-nieces and nephews; aunts and uncles; and his infinite number of friends. That’s a “HUGE” and “WONDERFUL” legacy. He is preceded in death by his father, Merle; infant sister; maternal grandparents, Larney and Eldora Thompson; and paternal grandparents, Glen and Gladys Bergey.

Rushford Village keeps eye on roadways, illegal dumping By Kirsten Zoellner The 2015 Pavement Management Plan projects are already underway and the council continues to take a proactive approach to tackling the status of city roads. The first of the payments for related work has been formally approved by the Rushford Village Council, several areas are under work, and the council is eyeing other problem areas. $34,397.81 will be paid to Dunn Blacktop Company of Winona for crack sealing and sealcoating of Money Creek Road, Hayes Street, Sherwood Street, and a portion of Goodrich Street. The amount is higher than the projected $28,000 original bid price. Bolton & Menk Engineer Josh Pope stated at the Tuesday, August 18 council meeting that the overage is a likely a two part issue; the propagation and widening of cracks since the beginning of the planned work and the depth of the cracked areas resulting in a higher rate of sealant fill. Mayor Gordon Johnson, Pope, and Public Works/Maintenance Supervisor Travis Scheck noted the quality of the work. The projected timeline calls for sealcoating work to be completed no later than August 31. Additional bituminous resurfacing of Darr Lane and the widening of portions of Prospect Street is to be substantially completed by October 2. Work on Tuff Lane also continues and construction, including replacement of the bridge with box culverts can begin August 24. It is estimated that work will take 4-5 days to complete.

Bolton & Menk will push for repair of the crossing, but it remains to be determined whether or not the Department of Natural Resources and the Army Corps of Engineers will allow for it. “The concern I have is things going on out there that need to be addressed,” said Johnson. “It may be appropriate to get a professional opinion, how to plan for it and/or determine what needs to be done. It’s out of our realm.” Pope will reach out to the entities to determine the how to proceed with the least costly and most effective solution. The council also discussed the continuing need for a part-time or ¾ position for a second Public Works employee. In reviewing ongoing project needs, Scheck noted the majority of items are beyond normal maintenance. He believes the work easily justifies an added person and is leaning towards a ¾ position. The council would likely seek someone whose credentials mirror Scheck’s, including Class B licensure, at a minimum, so the city isn’t stuck with unqualified persons in needed situations. Lastly on the agenda, Scheck brought forth a request for some

The illegal dumping is filling up the dumpsters to the point that the city cannot dump its own garbage. According to Clerk Kristina Mart, the problem has already led to Harter’s picking up three weeks in a row instead of the contracted bi-weekly service. The problem has been ongoing for nearly two months, according to Scheck. “It’s not fair to those who are law abiding and use spring and fall cleanup,” noted City Attorney Tom Manion. He suggested the city post signage noting, “City use only”, and stated that by posting the warning, any illegal dumping after in city dumpsters is a misdemeanor. Manion also noted other municipalities have looked through dumped items to find identifiable information, such as receipts. “Then, you can choose to prosecute or not.” The city is also considering the installation of security or trail cameras to further deter illegal dumping. Clerk Mart was directed to look into pricing and options. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, September 1, at 7 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Artist rooted in conservation opens gallery
Page 11
Sieve himself says he doesn’t have time to fish, with painting and conservation work at hand, but smiles and says, “Maybe someday.” Antlers of bucks Sieve has taken are hung above a literal timeline of arrows for each hunt and windows that give a direct line of sight to the prairie, reminding Sieve of the importance of land stewardship. On the east wall, hundreds of books that serve as reference to his painting and in the center of it all, an imposing easel, a canvas, hundreds of paintbrushes, and his paint. Awards and accolades are limited to line the full walls of the hallway. Sieve passes by and when asked about the impressive designations and only shrugs and points to his favorite award; the state Forest Stewardship Award, given by the Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the Department of Natural Resources Forestry Division. “I’m most proud of that,” he says. While he hasn’t entered stamp contests in years, Sieve conceded that he’d love to win a federal duck stamp award and he hasn’t entirely ruled out someday vying for trout stamp honors. Of course, he’d also love to take a Boone & Crockett big game record whitetail deer by bow. For now, he’s content to keep busy with the land, painting, and opening the world of conservation to others through his work and gallery. An open house for Chisholm Valley Wildlife Art Gallery, 22388 Daley Creek Drive, Rushford, is slated for Saturday, September 5, from 3 to 9 p.m., Sunday, September 6, from noon until 6 p.m., and again the following weekend, September 12 and 13, from noon until 6 p.m. Some of Sieve’s finest prints, originals, and sculptures will be on display, with all works available for purchase. In the future, the gallery will be open on key weekends and by appointment only.
By Kirsten Zoellner Michael Sieve may be renowned for his wildlife paintings, but the inspiration for the art is his greatest passion. Standing casually on the deck of his new gallery in rural Rushford, he smiles looking over his 185-acre farm. As conversation turns to conservation, he lights up. Sieve and wife Juli have taken what was an eroded, creekside farm nestled in the valley, and have begun to restore it. Lines of black walnuts, sugar maples, and native pine follow the contours of the valley, while a colorful and bountiful prairie bursting with wildflowers and food plots of corn and beans draw in the wildlife that has always been a part of his life. Conservation has been the driving force in his journey and the canvas for his art.

There was a grandfather who was buying one book for each of his five grandchildren. His father and grandfather will be appearing alongside him in this book.

lenge, and I know we will all be relieved when the books finally arrive so we can make them available to those who preordered their special copy of the Boots & Badges: Honoring Fillmore County Veterans. Nearly all of our team at the Fillmore County Journal has been involved in this project. And, as our Creative Director, Jana Olson, works in solitude strictly focused on the layout of the book, taking a step back from coordinating the layout of the weekly newspaper, the rest
of the team has picked up the slack. When we embarked upon this journey, I never realized the resources that would be involved in such a project. But, this is the least we could do to honor our many generations of Veterans in Fillmore County.

Steve’s Auto Care makes its move By Barb Jeffers Steve’s Auto Care Performance Center of Chatfield, Minn. is just getting settled into its new location at 105 Hwy. 30 W. after moving from the previous location on main street. Owner Steve Huper, who opened Steve’s Auto Care in 2011, states that the new location, the former Magnum Sports location behind Dairy Queen, has “more room” and is “a better location to suit customer’s needs”, which is what he was looking for. Huper spent July 31- August 2 moving into the new building and opened in the new location the next day, on Monday, August 3, getting right back to work on customer’s vehicles and motorcycles. Huper is still in the process of getting everything situated and organized, but does have a large comfortable customer waiting

Huper also specializes in Harley Davidson customization and engine building doing performance upgrades, such as big bore kit installs to make your bike faster, along with cams, air cleaners, exhaust, and regular motorcycle service. You can also bring your lawn equipment in to Steve’s for servicing and repair. Now is the time of year to get your lawn mower checked out so it is ready to go next spring.

Huper currently employs two other mechanics who are happy to help customers with their needs. Jim Vietor has been with Huper since opening in 2011 and Adam Amy began in mid-

alone or with other vegetables. Then maybe you go out of town for a few days... When you come back, there are some BIG zucchini growing in your garden. Huge. You shred them. You bake cakes and breads, you freeze some for soups and other winter uses. (You will end up throwing at least half of this away in a year or so, just so you know.) The zucchini plants keep producing. You offer them to neighbors. They accept, and likely throw them away a week later. Then they stop answering the door when you stop over with another armload of green monsters to share. You receive a friendly note from them, asking that you stop leaving vegetables on their porch when they’re not home. It’s time we had a talk, you and I. I need to share something with you. You need only one zucchini plant in your life. Maybe two if you want to try a couple different varieties. In our household we prefer an Italian variety of zucchini called
Costata Romanesco. It has a nutty, delicious flavor, and my husband likes this variety, and this variety alone. Added bonus - it’s not quite as prolific as many other zucchini varieties. In the case of this specific vegetable, that is a good thing.

children, the youngest of whom was Howard. After Howard’s parents passed away, he continued to run the farm with his older sister, Iona. Their brother, Ellsworth moved to Rochester, Minn. with his family. Iona passed away in February 1985 at the age of 96, leaving Howard to continue the farm on his own. In addition to farming the family farm, Howard spent 32 years hauling canned milk, 29 years hauling cattle, and 10 years working at Seneca Foods in Rochester. After leaving his job at Seneca, he drove truck for the Austin Post Bulletin and the Rochester Post Bulletin, delivering newspapers. In 2002, he was driving his newspaper truck when he was
Eating from the garden: Zucchini intervention Picture this - its spring, and nearly time to plant your garden. Winter was a cold and depressing time. You’ve missed stepping out into your garden and picking fresh vegetables to add to your meals. You’ve missed being outside in the sunshine, and generally just being warm. So, maybe you go a little crazy when you pass a seed rack. You end up buying more seeds than you can possibly plant in your garden space. (And if this happens, you should seriously consider renting a plot in the Harmony Community Garden. Just sayin’.) Flash forward a few weeks you’re in your garden, with pack-
Traditions of Preston resident Howard McFarland has never read the Little House on the Prairie series, but he knows all of the stories. Starting at the age of four, he heard them firsthand sitting on the knee of Laura Ingalls Wilder herself, who was in her early seventies at the time. Laura’s father and Howard’s grandfather were first cousins, and so she often came to visit his family in Spring Valley. He has fond memories of these visits. Charles Ingalls, Laura’s father, helped Howard’s grandfather, Joseph McFarland, build a unique round barn on the McFarland family farm outside of Spring Valley in 1912. Joseph had dreamed of building such a barn for some time. The barn had a silo in the center and one had to drive into the barn to unload into the silo. The cattle were in a ring around the barn facing the center. Unfortunately, the barn collapsed some years ago. Howard was working on the farm and had just walked

ets of seeds in hand. Will one zucchini plant be enough? Two? You end up planting three, just to be safe. After all, you want a lot of produce this summer, and you’ve got grand plans to eat healthy and use up all of your fresh vegetables. This is going to be the best summer ever! Yeah! Let’s skip ahead again, this time to the month of August. All of your zucchini plants are producing. ALL OF THEM. At first you catch them when they’re little, maybe five or six inches long. At this stage they’re perfect for grilling. Slice them the long way, toss them with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and grill ‘em up! Yum! Then you start picking them a little bit bigger. Perfect for stir frying

He recounts that he turned around in shock and said to the barn, “Now what did you go and do that for?!?” The original home on the property, a log cabin, burned down in 1887. The family was only able to save a sack of sausage, which

was then promptly stolen. A two room frame house was built to replace the log cabin. In 1912, Charles and Joseph moved the house to a different location on the farm and built on several more rooms. The farm was then passed down to Joseph’s daughter and her husband, Howard Worth and Inez McFarland. They had three

When I recently had a couple of this variety that got a little too big, I was inspired to tinker and come up with the following recipe. Italian Stuffed Zucchini
• Two medium-large zucchini (sliced in half the long way, seeds scooped out to form four zucchini ‘boats’) • Sea salt • One pound ground Italian sausage • Three or four medium tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped • 15-20 fresh basil leaves, sliced into ribbons • Freshly ground black pepper • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided • One cup tomato sauce Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place prepared zucchini cut side up in a lightly oiled 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and bake, uncovered for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove from oven and drain zucchini/baking dish, set aside. While baking zucchini, prepare filling. Brown Italian sausage and when halfway cooked, add tomatoes. Cook together on medium high until sausage is cooked through and tomatoes have broken down, about 20 minutes. This mixture should be thick, not runny. Let the tomato juice cook off a little while longer if it’s too juicy. Allow meat to cool slightly, then mix in half of your Parmesan cheese, the basil, and a couple grinds of black pepper. Buzz this mix in a food processor until finely ground, but not puréed. Spoon this mix into zucchini boats, top each boat with tomato sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Return to 400 degree oven and bake for ten minutes. Boil up a batch of sweet corn to serve with this dish. Zucchini and tomatoes go well with corn. temporarily blinded by the sun. He was hit by a van, airlifted to St. Mary’s and was in a coma for two-and-a-half weeks. The doctors didn’t think he would ever wake up, let alone walk again. Howard’s stubborn determination helped him do just that though, and the only lasting effects he sustained from the accident were a loss of smell and taste. The family farm was sold while he was in the hospital after being in the family for four generations. After being released from the hospital, Howard spent some time recuperating at Good Samaritan Nursing Home, which was later closed and then re-opened as an assisted living center called Traditions of Preston. Howard now resides at Traditions.

There is a “Beautiful Something” in Lanesboro By Barb Jeffers There is a unique new business in Lanesboro, Minn. called Beautiful Something, which is exactly what you will find while shopping there. Brad Erwin and his daughter Shanalee Knight had been searching for a building to open their business and they found exactly what they wanted while looking in Lanesboro. They took possession of the building at 106 Coffee Street on April 1, 2015. Erwin has been interested in antiques for over 35 years and wanted to have a shop to display and sell his inventory of glassware, furniture, pottery, and much more. Knight “got to where she didn’t like going to big cities to buy her clothes anymore and

got into buying a lot of her clothes online”, states Erwin of his daughter. So she decided to go into business with her dad selling clothing, accessories, and more along with his antiques. Six weeks were spent fixing up the inside of the business as they remodeled. Erwin says they really fixed up the inside saying “the only thing we didn’t do was the ceiling - it’s the original tin ceiling” which added to the charm of the space when the business opened in the middle of May. A second daughter, Jessica, and her husband, Casey Meyer, helped with remodeling and “work behind the scenes” doing computer work, buying, etc. states Erwin, and his wife adds her input on the different types of clothes to stock also. Trying to incorporate antiques with new merchandise can be very tricky, but the owners of Beautiful Something hit the nail on the head. Erwin describes their decorative style as “antiquely” and “rustic” with barn wood used throughout the building in different places, including trim work thanks to Erwin’s son-inlaw who tore down an aged barn, and metal from an old chicken coop hangs behind the checkout counter. Casey Meyer also used a barn board to make a jewelry board that holds many pretty pieces, including necklaces and brace-

lets. It is this type of innovative thinking that makes the store so special. Erwin says people really like the “feel” of the space and he has received many positive comments from customers. He states “they just love it” and it has not only been customers giving rave reviews, as their realtor and other business owners in town have said how amazing it looks in the store. The town of Lanesboro and the surrounding area have been very supportive, as Erwin says “people stop in and say they are glad to see another building open up” in town. According to Erwin, Memorial Day was “very busy”, June was “a good month”, and Buffalo Bill Days was “very busy also”, so it seems many people who live in the area and those who are visiting the area have found a new favorite place to shop. Erwin comments “as new as we are, we already have repeat customers” because the inventory is always changing, they want to stop in often to see what new items have been added. Aside from antiques and clothing, you will find many accessories, jewelry, hats, and shoes, including USA dawgs and more. The phone number at Beautiful Something is (507) 4672006.

Fillmore County Sports H.S. Football Preview By Paul Trende And so begins district football. Marked by a shorter pre-season (two weeks rather than three before the first game), The Trende changing Report schedules, and devoid of the ‘zero’ week concept of the past couple years; the only thing that stays the same is Paul Trende everything changes. For small Class A schools like Fillmore Central, Rushford-Peterson, and Kingsland, it means no more Class AA challenges (Caledonia and Chatfield). For Chatfield, it means upping their competition to Class AA schools and beyond. For the 9-man schools, with LeRoyOstrander devoid of football this year, they’ll battle a couple new foes (West Lutheran and AldenConger) and not see one other long-time adversary. The season gets going early, again, per state tournament scheduling conflicts centering around the non-usage of the still being built U.S Bank Stadium and the usage of the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium. The one thing that stays the same is Friday night lights. Subjected to the most change are the Chatfield Gophers. They’ll play Stewartville (Class AAAA), Pine Island (Class AAA), and six Class AA foes but no Class A foes or county teams. Last year, a promising state title defense campaign was up-ended by injuries. Chatfield started 3-1, losing only to R-P. They had Caledonia on the ropes in week five (up 25-15 in the 4th quarter), but then the injury bug hit. The Gophers finished 5-5, 4-4 in the SFA Blue. They lost to the Warriors in the Section 1AA semi-finals. One by-product of those injuries was, younger guys were forced into duty, and got experience. That certainly won’t hurt the Gophers as they step their field of competition up. Leading team maroon and white will be a 11-man senior crew led by their lone returning All-Conference player, third-year starter Carter Duxbury (RB/LB). The 6’1” 200-pounder tallied around 570 yards and 8 TD’s rushing in seven games as a junior, while also keying the defense. He was a key contributor on the 2013 Carter Duxbury state title team. Riley Ahern (5’11” 180, RB/LB) is another notable senior. On 25 offensive touches, he scored eight TD’s a year ago. He added four interceptions. Aaron Paulson (5’11” 165, RB/DB), Noah Brogan (5’10” 190, RB/LB), Chase
Salerno (6’1” 180, TE/LB), and Cole Hines (6’2” 150 TE/DB) round out the senior skill-players. The senior lineman, Chris Dokken (6’0” 270), Monte FloresRuesink (5’10” 253), Sean Morrison (5’11” 250), Connor Demorest (6’0” 215), and Devyn Deyo (5’10” 191) are not small mammals. Junior-wise, Parker Fossum (6’3” 174 WR/DE) scored three different ways a year ago (four rushing TD’s, 2 kick-off return TD’s, a receiving TD) and has rare size and speed. Dillon Bance (6’0” 157) returns at quarterback after starting seven games in 2014 (five passing, one rushing TD). Alex Pagel (5’9” 150 RB/LB), Isaac Thompson (5’11” 225, OL/ DL), and Spencer Mandt (5’11” 176, OL/DL) are also key junior returnees. All told, Chatfield has 15 juniors. They’ll get tested early. Stewartville, a squad that lost in the state semifinals a year ago in AAAA, is first up. Old Three Rivers adversaries Dover-Eyota and St. Charles follow. Caledonia looms in the season finale. Head Coach Jeff Johnson enters his ninth year at the helm. Fillmore Central’s Chris Mensink enters his ninth season of leading the Falcons. FC went 2-7 a season ago, 2-6 in the SFA Blue. They lost to 2nd-seeded Blooming Prairie in the first round of the Section 1A play-offs. The Falcons graduated seven seniors, including All-Conference performer Jordan Miller (WR/DB). They have seven seniors again this year, including Tyson Ristau (6’0” 180, RB/ LB). The third-year player is FC’s Tyson Ristau top returning yards getter (411 all purpose) and top tackler. He was All-Conference as a junior. Fellow senior Trace Tollefson (6’2” 153, WR/ DB) also returns as maybe FC’s best big-play weapon (31 receptions, 4 receiving TD’s). Matson Kiehne (5’11” 165, WR/LB), Sam Bahl (5’11” 170, OL/DL), Korby Koch (5’8” 148, OL/DL), Nate Birch (5’10” 140, WR/DB), and Vincent Jones (6’0” 140, WR/ CB) round out the class. An FC strength will be its 16-man junior class. Riley Means (5’9” 182, QB/ LB), Justin Ristau (5’10” 227, OT/LB), Walker Ward (6’0” 204, OL/DL), Drew Tienter (6’3” 240, T/DL), and Jacob Thomas (5’8” 293, OL/DL) also return after starting as sophomores. Means projects at starting QB. Eleven sophomores round out the 10-12 roster. All involved will learn where Janesville is game one of the season. R-P is the home opener a week later. Lewiston-Altura is the second new team on FC’s schedule. FC is a family affair; there are five Ristau’s on the roster. In Rushford, Davin Thompson returns for his fourth year as
solo head man of the Trojans. R-P comes off a year where they came one win away from state. The Trojans lost to Blooming Prairie in the Section 1A title game. They finished at 8-2, 7-1 in the SFA Blue (second place). Their only conference loss was 7-6 at Caledonia. It was their third straight winning season. R-P graduated a ton; seventeen seniors, five All-Conference selections, two three-time All-Conference selections (Cole Kingsley, Alex Vix), and a three-year starting quarterback (Jonnie Koenen). That group took with them a majority of R-P’s 2014 yardage and touchdowns. And thus, there will be a lot of new starters and new production to shoulder in Trojan-land. A couple big cogs return. Noah Carlson made All SFA Blue as just a sophomore. The 6’2” 170-pounder is a threat to score from anywhere, probably won’t get caught Noah Carlson from behind too often, and can be a menace in the secondary (had two interception returns for TD’s versus B.A. in the play-offs). Matt Culhane (6’9” 305, OL/DL) also was a big contributor, and will be match-up nightmare on the lines. Seven other seniors join the big man; Clay Johnson (6’0” 170, RB/LB), Noah Dahl (6’2” 185, C/DE), Kyle Weidemann (5’10” 165, RB/LB), Waylon Banks (6’1” 200, OL/DL), Mitch Brand (6’1” 220, OL/DL), Zach Kniseley (6’1” 185, OL/DL), and Brad Eggert (5’9” 130, WR/ DB). They got experience a year ago in a number of Trojan blowouts. Landon Goree (5’10” 165, QB/LB) is a key junior amongst that ten-person class. The Trojans also have seven sophomores. R-P opens the season with a Section title re-match at Blooming Prairie. They are then at county adversary Fillmore Central. WabashaKellogg is the home opener on September 4. They won’t play two of their biggest games the last two seasons, Chatfield and Caledonia. They do add northern neighbor and friendly rival Lewiston-Altura. Four Brands grace the Trojan roster. Andrew Brouwer returns to helm the Kingsland Knights for a second season. He and his guys will look to get off the schneid. Team black and silver hasn’t won in too long. Last season ended at 0-9 with a loss to R-P in the first round of the Section 1A playoffs. The Knights are still battling the numbers issue. They have 23 on their varsity roster, including seven seniors, four juniors, and nine sophomores. Quinn Larson (6’0” 175) should give Kingsland a leader at QB/S. He (presumably) returns for his third year as signal-caller. J.J. Fenske (6’0” 180, RB/DL) and Logan Back (5’8” 140, WR/DB) are a couple other senior skill-position returnees. Cody Krahn (6’0” 190, OL/
DL), Aaron Greene (5’11” 130, OL/DB), and Alex Bradley (6’2” 255, OL/DL) round the returning senior class in the trenches. Isaac Miller (5’10” 168 junior, OL/DL), Ian Meisner (6’7” 230, sophomore OL/DL), and Reece Eickhoff (6’0” 168, sophomore RB/DB) also got in on a lot of action a year ago. The later started at tailback as just a freshman following an injury. The Knights East-West cross-over opponent is United South Central (Wells) to start the year. Then their schedule mimics FC and R-P; minus Caledonia and Chatfield, plus Lewiston-Altura. The Mabel-Canton Cougars will look to improve upon a solid 2014 season. M-C went 6-4 overall, 5-3 in the SEC. They lost to Spring Grove in the semifinals of the 9-man Section 1 play-offs. Longest tenured football coach in the area, Karl Urbaniak (31 years), returns some very nice pieces. Back are all three of his AllConference selections from a year ago. All-SEC running back Wayne Ross (5’9” 180 junior, RB/DB) leads the way. He pounded and bowled his way to an excellent sophomore season (196 carries, 1,176 yards, 21 Wayne Ross TDs rushing, 23 total TD’s). He did a lot of running behind M-C’s second returning All-SEC player, senior Alex Mengis (6’0” 210, OL/DL), a key figure since his freshman year. Senior Mitch Kuhn (5’10” 140, RB/DB) was All-SEC Honorable Mention (399 rushing yards, five total TD’s, five interc e p t i o n s ) . Alex Mengis We s t o n Whalen (RB/DB), a 5’9” 160pound junior, is also back. He had 900-plus rushing yards with 8 ground scores, ten TD’s overall. The Cougars did graduate six senior starters. They’ll enter 2015 with five seniors. Parker Henry (5’7” 150, OL/DL) and Josh Vatland (5’10” 230, OL/DL) join Mengis and Kuhn as returnees. Tannor Fairchild (6’0” 180, QB/ DB) joins the fray after not playing as a junior. Four juniors and eight sophomores round out the upper grade numbers. Included is Pierce Lind (6’0” 170, OL/ DL), who played substantially as a frosh. M-C starts out at GlenvilleEmmons for an afternoon game. Rival Lanesboro is the home opener on August 28. They won’t play defending state champion Grand Meadow. They’ll finish out the regular season by hosting new district foes Alden-Conger and West Lutheran. In Lanesboro, it kind of back to the drawing board, and with a small crew. The Burros went 5-5 last season (4-4 in the SEC),
losing to eventual state champion Grand Meadow in the Section 1 9-man semifinals. Eleven seniors graduated including their only AllConference selection (Will Semmen) and a pair of 1,000-yard backs (Tylar Miller, Liam Dorn). All told, 49 of 55 TD’s departed. The 2015 Burros have four returning seniors in Chris Freese (6’2” 201, TE/DE), Steven Rein (5’10” 185, RB/LB), Zacc Wead (6’0” 235 C/DT), and Marcus Mulvihill (6’3” 160, S/WR). All have experience. They have seven juniors, a cast led by top returning scorer (3 TD’s as a sophomore) Cole Schwichtenberg (6’0” 155, QB/DB). One sophomore and six freshman round of the roster. Lanesboro will probably move away from their tried and true running game to more of an aerial attack. Size is a strength. Eleven of the 19 players are 180 or better. Six lineman are 210-plus. Lanesboro hasn’t had a losing season over a decade. They’ll hope James Semmen’s 16th year of coaching doesn’t break the string of success. They get a toughie in their season opener, defending two-time state champion Grand Meadow. Similar tests versus Mabel-Canton and Spring Grove follow in weeks two and three. If the Burros do throw the ball, they do have Andrew Luck on their team (a freshman, obviously not the Indianapolis Colts Pro Bowl QB). In Houston, Dale Moga is back for his second year to command the Hurricanes. Last year, the double H’er’s played the game to a 3-6 overall record, 3-5 in the SEC. As the 5-seed, they lost to Lanesboro in the first round of the Section One 9-Man play-offs. Houston graduated six senior starters, including their lone two AllConference players, leading rusher Brett Hoskins and lineman Sam Schneider. In 2015, they’ll boast a seven-man senior class led by key returnees Trevor Lundberg (6’4” 225, TE/DL), Nathan Lee (5’10” 145, RB/LB), Tylor Nelson (5’10” 155, TE/DB), Matt Rediske (6’0” 165, TE/DL), Garrett ThorntonPaulson (5’11” 185 OL/LB), and Dustyn Radsek (5’10” 160, TE/ DL). The speedy Lee, an All-Conference Honorable Mention pick in 2014, snared five TD passes as a junior, making him the statistical top returning threat. Jeremiah Johnson (6’0” 170, QB/DB) also joins the fold after not playing as a junior. He and junior Harry Chiglo (5’7” 145, QB/DB) are the two upper-classmen listed as quarterbacks. Sophomores Zach Schneider (5’8” 125, RB/DB) and Brady Happel (5’11” 165, RB/LB) also return after playing as just freshman. Five juniors, eight sophomores, and eleven freshman round out the 31-man ‘Cane roster. Per the new District format, the Hurricanes will play two new foes (Alden-Conger and West Lutheran), both as home games. Houston’s first two games are at home (Randolph and Lyle/ Pacelli). They will not play closest 9-man neighbor Spring Grove.

Rushford-Peterson approves progressive discipline addendum By Kirsten Zoellner The Rushford-Peterson School Board voted unanimously to approve an addendum to its student handbooks regarding progressive discipline. The policy had drawn some concern in recent months over a lack of clear definition. In July, when the board approved the handbooks, it was requested that district administration work to include and define progressive discipline in the handbook. The addendum addressed this request and lays out options that may be exercised by the district in response to incidents. “It is the general policy of the school district to utilize progressive discipline to the extent reasonable and appropriate based upon the specific facts and circumstances of student conduct. The specific form of discipline chosen in a particular case is solely within the discretion of the school district,” states subsection A of section II, “Disciplinary Action.” “At a minimum, violation of school district rules, regulations, policies or procedures will result in discussion of the violation and a verbal warning. The school district shall, however, impose more severe disciplinary sanctions for any viola-

Then when it is full, it is tied shut and either put into the landfill garbage or taken back to a store that accepts those bags for recycling. Plastic bags are not to LaVerne C. be placed in Paulson curbside recycling, added to the materials at the recycling center, or deposited in any
of the rural bins found throughout the county. Hundreds end up in the red bin at the recycling center each week. They are not recycled, but become part of our landfill garbage. Taking them back to a store is a much better option and should be a habit you may want to consider. As I mentioned in an article not too long ago, becoming a member of the Fillmore County Cloth and Canvas Bag Brigade is a better option. I am seeing more and more resuable bags being brought into stores and fewer plastic bags and paper bags leaving the stores. It may just be my imagination, but the members of the bag brigade seem to be a happier group of people knowing they are doing their part for the environment. Most of the questions I get asked concerning recycling have to do with plastics of one sort or another. As most of you know, the recycling of plastic can be the most confusing part of recycling. Many people believe that plastic is plastic and it is all recyclable..... but it is not. Some of the plastic brought to the recycling center is really landfill material. Plastic grocery bags, plastic garbage bags, bale twine, plastic hose and tubing, children’s sleds, several types of storage containers, parts of silage bags, flower pots, children’s toys, lawn furniture, child car seats, and even soiled diapers have found their way to the recycling center. If an item is not marked with a “1” or a “2” inside the chasing arrows, it is not recyclable here in Fillmore County. Plastic bottles of all colors that contain over-the-counter medicine are usually recyclable. However, the caps are not. The common amber prescription containers and their caps are not recyclable. That number “5” on the bottom of the amber bottle is very small, but it is there. Amber pill bottles can be used to store all kinds of stuff. Be sure to
Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) for additional access to funding through the Long-Term Facility Maintenance Revenue Program. The program is designed to address revenue discrepancies between large and small schools. It eliminates Deferred Maintenance Revenue, Health and Safety Revenue, and Alternative Facilities Bonding and Levy programs, according to the bill presented to the House Committee for Education Finance. Beginning in fiscal year 2017, the plan requires detailed analysis of both projected revenue and expenditures for the maintenance, health and safety, and accessibility of district facilities. Plans will need to be approved by the MDE Commissioner before the proposed levy is certified in September of this year. Superintendent Ehler noted the plans would need to be adjusted annually. “It’s a very fluid document.” “The funding is based off the age of the facility,” added Ehler. “The unique and challenging thing for us, is after fiscal 2017, then we would not qualify for all the revenues.” The amount R-P could receive will drop off significantly the first year, as the district sets up shop in a new facility.
After that, the amount of funding will continue to increase, based on a per student formula. While R-P projections for Health and Safety Revenue and Deferred Maintenance Revenue could have netted the district $98,403.80 in fiscal 2017 under the old formula, the total Long-Term Facilities Maintenance Revenue is projected at $141,700.60. The district will be holding a number of public meetings in the coming month, most related to the New School project. Monday, September 10, at 2 p.m., a pre-bid meeting will be held in the high school theatre. Then, Thursday, September 17, at 3 p.m., a bid meeting will be held in the same location. Monday, September 28, at 5:30 p.m., the board will vote on the selection of the general contractor for the project. That meeting will be held in the high school biology room. Monday, October 12, the next town hall meeting regarding the possible redevelopment and repurposing of the Peterson Middle School will be held. That meeting is slated for 7 p.m. in the lunchroom. The next regularly scheduled board meeting is Monday, September 21, at 5:30 p.m., in the high school biology room. The public is encouraged to attend.
remove the label that contains your name and the type of medicine it once held. Yogurt and cottage cheese type containers “5” are still not recyclable in Fillmore County, but can be used to store things that are too large to fit into an amber pill bottle. The plastic coffee can itself is recyclable, however, the top is a number “4” and is not. The same is true with plastic ice cream pails. The container is recyclable, but the top is a number “4” as well. A large number of flower pots and plant pots are brought to the recycling center. Even though they are made of plastic, very few of these are recyclable. Please check the number inside the “chasing arrows” on the bottom. Again, only the ones and twos are recyclable. The rest should go with your landfill garbage or check with the place where you buy your plants to see if they would like to have them back to use again. The recycling symbol on a piece of plastic does not alone make it
recyclable. It must have the “1” or the “2” in it. Styrofoam frequently has a symbol on it, but the number is “5”. As you will recall, styrofoam is recyclable in very few places, Fillmore County not being one of them. Send all styrofoam to the landfill. The recycling center does not want it. If you have a plastic item that doesn’t have a symbol or number on it, it is not recyclable. You will find very few plastic items that are not numbered, but they do exist and are considered landfill material. A couple weeks ago, I visited with the kids at the library in Mabel and chatted about recycling with them. It was a lot of fun and I think they may have learned some new stuff concerning recycling and why it is important for all of us. As usual, if you have any comments or questions concerning recycling in Fillmore County, or would like me to visit with your organization, please feel free to contact me at lpaulson@co.fillmore.mn.us.
Motorcycle accidents On Saturday, August 15, at approximately 9:51 a.m. Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communications received a report of a motorcycle accident west of Lanesboro Minn., in the 32000 block of Fillmore County Road 8. A motorcycle being ridden with a group by a single rider hit gravel, lost control, and went down. Another motorcycle also in the group, behind the one that went down, also lost control. Lanesboro Fire & Ambulance, Preston Police Department, Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office, and Preston Ambulance all responded. The drivers of each of the motorcycles were transported to St. Mary’s by Lanesboro Ambulance and Preston Ambulance. The accident is under investigation by the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office.
No names, ages, or residence information of the drivers were available at the time. Patients’ conditions were also unknown at the time. The same afternoon, at approximately 2:45 p.m., Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communications received a report of a single motorcycle accident east of Chatfield, Minn. in the 31000 block of Hwy 30. The motorcycle was being driven by a 61 year-old Coon Rapids Minn. resident. Chatfield Fire & Ambulance, Chatfield Police Department, Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office, State Patrol, and Mayo One all responded. The driver was transported to St. Mary’s by Mayo One. The drivers condition was unknown at the time and the accident is being investigated by the State Patrol.

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Can you talk about the new increased fine if cited for texting and driving? Answer: Drivers who re p e a t e d l y choose texting over safety while behind the wheel risk a higher fine Troy H. for violatChristianson ing the law. Under the new enhanced law, drivers face a $225 fine for second and subsequent violations of the texting while driving law, in addition to the current $50 fine. The $275 fine, plus court fees, can cost an offender more than $300. Minnesota Statute 169.471 Texting is illegal, including when stopped in traffic • “No person may operate a motor vehicle while using a wireless communications device to compose, read, or send an electronic message, when the vehicle is in motion or part of traffic.” • Also illegal to access the web while the vehicle is in motion or a part of traffic. • It’s illegal for drivers with a permit or provisional driver’s license to use a cell phone while driving, except for emergencies to call 911.
The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. Distracted driving is a leading factor in crashes each year in Minn. • Distracted driving accounts for one in four crashes. • Distracted driving is responsible for 60 deaths and 225 serious injuries each year. • Driver inattention or distraction is the number one contributing factor in multiple-vehicle crashes. • Driver inattention or distraction contributed to more than 17% of all fatal crashes and more than 24% of all injury crashes in 2014. • In 2014, driver inattention or distraction contributed to 61 deaths and more than 7,000 injuries on Minn. roads. Make the right choice • Cell phones - Put the phone down, turn it off, or place it out of reach. • Music and other controls - Pre-program radio stations

FLASHBACK Do you remember what was happening in Fillmore County the week of August 25, 1986? Our team searched the archives to find Volume 1, Number 46 of the Fillmore County Journal, and here’s what we found.
Chatfield Area Historical Museum and the Pease Wildlife Museum.
Thurber Community Center, 21 Second Street SE Our museum has a collection of historical dresses, antique sewing machines, sports trophies, Western Day props, antique furniture and household goods, plus many other historical artifacts from the Chatfield area. We have a small artist gallery with artwork by Chatfield area artists. Our museum houses the composite graduation pictures from Chatfield High School dating back to the 1800’s. The Pease portion of the museum includes many preserved animals and fish. We also have a display of older traps, hunting and fishing equipment, plus farming items and older guns.
The Veterans Memorial Museum, 314 South Main Street (lower level of the Public Library) The Veterans museum has a collection of artifacts, medals, and uniforms of the brave men and women of Chatfield who fought to keep our country free.
We love to share our museums, no matter how large or small your group. Feel free to call Toni at 507-867-3756 or Nancy at 507-867-3756.
