Little Huskers invade Willow Park Chatfield Schools welcomes new elementary principal By M ary A llen mary@fillmorecountyjournal.com

At the August 20 Chatfield School Board Meeting all board members were present, along with Superintendent Harris, Lorri Lowrey, administrative assistant; and Business Manager Karyl Lyon. No board members had reports to give. Superintendent Harris first welcomed the new elementary principal, Shane McBroom to the school district. He stated that they were very happy to have him on board. Shane had previously been the elementary principal in St. Charles. Under construction updates, school is still on track to open as scheduled but there will be some areas that will need to be finished in early September. One project that is being held up is the front entry A throng of young runners sprint from the start line. By R ich Wicks rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com

the event to be free and fun. The idea of T-shirts and medals for participants was discussed; we decided to ask for sponsorship to help cover the cost.” She said board members had expected to see about 30-60 kids for the initial kids run, but over 160 registered that first year. Since the event was such a success right away, very few changes have been made, and it now draws around 250 participants per year. The event requires around $2,500 to put on, and roughly 125 volunteer hours go into making everything run smoothly. When asked who volunteers, Deb Zimmer stated, “Board members and their family and friends, along See LITTLE HUSKERS Page 9 

Kingsland sets operating levy By R ich Wicks rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The Kingsland School Board worked on deciding upon a new Operating Levy amount during their regular board meeting on August 20. All board members were present (Doug Plaehn, Ann Oeltjen, Heather Betts, Leah Stier, Jackie Horsman, Tiffany Mundfrom, and Superintendent James Hecimovich. The board discussed possibly sending a two-question referendum to voters, with the first question essentially renewing the current amount, and the second asking for the increase needed. Tiffany Mundfrom asked, “Have we ever been able to pass a two-question measure?” Douh Plaehn said no, to which Horsman chuckled,

Your community banks

for generations!

“Well, thanks for your candor.” Mundfrom then said she prefers simply a one-question referendum, asking for the amount Kingsland truly needs; Horsman agreed. The board discussed the balancing act of asking for enough to cover costs, without putting an unfair burden on taxpayers. Horsman stated, “It’s hard because what I think we all want, and what’s attainable, are two different things… And that’s what makes it difficult. First and foremost, you have to try to come up with something that you feel you can get the community to support.” After discussion, the board voted unanimously to accept the new operating levy amount See LEVY Page 14 

As part of the annual Ag Days in Spring Valley, the Little Huskers 1K Run has attracted throngs of young athletes from the local area and beyond, and that was certainly the case again on August 8. This year marked the sixth annual Little Huskers event, and the weather was ideal. The kids’ run is held in Willow Park, following the conclusion of the 6K run. The 1K is for runners 12 years of age or younger, and this year saw roughly 260 registered runners. Each participant received a personalized racing “bib” number, T-shirt, refreshments following the run, and most importantly, a medal. Runners were grouped

and started by age group, with the youngest (two- and threeyear-olds) running a shorter course. The event is free and noncompetitive, but it was clearly a “win-win” situation, based upon the many smiling faces among the participants and spectators. The event is organized by the Spring Valley Area Community Foundation (SVACF), and three Foundation board members (Wendy Thon, Gina Jahn, and Deb Zimmer) gave their thoughts on what makes the event so popular. Asked how the event originated, Thon answered, “During a board meeting we discussed doing something during Ag Days, and Steve Harder came up with the idea of doing a fun run for the kids. We wanted

The pay equity report that was not in compliance in March has now been approved by the state with the updated job classifications. Mr. Harris thanked Karyl Lyon for the assistance and guidance in this process. There were two annual readings of district policies and first and second readings of policies that Harris addressed.

Lanesboro now offers EV charging By Barb Jeffers As the number of people driving eco-friendly vehicles is on the rise, the City of Lanesboro, Minn., is being proactive in offering charging stations for electric vehicles within city limits. As environmental stewards, the operators of these vehicles look for EV chargers in the places they visit and often plan trips around the locations of such charging stations. Although the City of Lanesboro has had the EV charging stations in their sights for quite awhile, it has just recently came to fruition. “It’s a project that was looked at several years ago, and unfortunately the funding was not available at the time,� states Michele Peterson, Lanesboro City Administrator. “We wanted to bring additional resources to our community for those that live here as well as visit here,� says Peterson. The two, two car, Level 2 chargers are installed and ready for use at the Poetry Parking Lot, otherwise known as the Bass Pond parking lot, just off of County Road 8, which is conveniently located close to the downtown area. Lanesboro Public Utilities was able to purchase the chargers using conservation improvement funds. The cost for the

two units was $16,700 and the installation cost was $5,300. “The installation did cost more because there was significant rock where the electrical needed to be placed,� explains Peterson. The chargers were purchased from Chargepoint and local contractor Huntington Electric installed them. The City of Lanesboro had received requests for the EV Chargers from local lodging establishments, as the chargers are very popular with those who travel, as well as some local residents. There seems to be a little confusion and some misconceptions about the cost to use the chargers, with some people thinking that using the chargers is free. Use of the chargers is not free. The City of Lanesboro charges the same per kilowatt hour as they charge the electric customers in town which is $0.1471 per kwh. Users of the EV chargers can pay using a Chargepoint app on their phone. Chargepoint, the brand of EV Chargers purchased by the City of Lanesboro, states on their website, www.chargepoint. com, “We help drivers make the switch to electric by offering connected charging wherever they work, shop, eat and play,� which is a very important point

for those who drive electric cars. Having charging stations available is vital in order to use the vehicle as intended by the purchaser. “By 2020, 75% of new cars sold will be connected to the internet. By 2040, 35% of vehicles sold will be electric. It’s time to get ready for the future of transportation, which will be electric and connected — to drivers, mobile apps, charging spots, businesses and the rest of our everyday lives,� states the website. Charging time varies depending on how low the battery is but the Chargepoint Level 2 chargers can get drivers on the road fairly quickly. “Our Level 2 Commercial chargers charge at a maximum rate of 25 RPH (miles of Range Per Hour). CT4000 stations can fully charge some vehicles in less than four hours,� states the Chargepoint website. Aside from commercial EV chargers, Chargepoint offers residential chargers as well, which is a very convenient option for some. There are many reasons people are choosing to purchase electric vehicles at a fast-growing pace. Although the initial cost may not be small, the long-term investment is promising. Saving money on gasoline is probably the number one reason

for buying an electric vehicle. Saving time not stopping at gas stations and dealing with fluctuating gas prices are an added bonus, as the cost of electricity does not experience such unpredictable price changes. The cost of charging an electric vehicle can virtually be eliminated if a solar system designed for the roof of the vehicle is installed. Becoming more environmentally friendly is another incentive for driving an electric vehicle. By reducing the emission of carbon dioxide with hybrid electric cars or eliminating emissions with all electric vehicles,

drivers are reducing their carbon footprint. As the use of electric vehicles continues to expand they may very soon become the norm and chargers may be needed in more areas. “At this point we do not have plans to install additional units. However, I think ultimately we will have to see how these two go, and plan from there,� states Peterson. For those who are already driving electric vehicles, whether local residents or tourists, the new chargers located in Lanesboro will surely be appreciated.

C ommentary Capturing philanthropic wealth in rural communities By Tim Penny President/CEO Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation Several months ago, I was pleased to see my hometown of Kiester join forces with five nearby towns to create a new community foundation called Our Town USA. At Southern Tim Penny Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF), we support communities in capturing and retaining philanthropic wealth through community foundations like this. This has become increasingly important as $7 billion is expected to transfer between generations by the year 2030 in SMIF’s 20 counties. In southern Minnesota, 30% of our 176 communities are home to a community foundation. More than half of these are administered by SMIF. SMIF currently assists in managing 28 small town community funds. These local foundations provide direct support for projects and programming important to their community, ranging from early

childhood, tourism amenities and marketing, community events and much more. SMIF acts as more than just the fiscal agent for these community foundations. We provide board facilitation and training, marketing and planned giving support; fiscal oversight and investment of the funds; and all necessary financial filings. SMIF has also provided a total of $514,000 in grant and endowment matching dollars so far to our 28 community funds to further their local efforts. In addition to community foundations, SMIF offers a wide range of other affiliate funds to help communities retain philanthropic wealth, including Donor Advised Funds, Scholarship Funds and Disaster Relief Funds. SMIF’s community foundations are also a great mechanism for supporting our retiring farmers while keeping rural Minnesota’s agricultural assets in production. The average age of farmers in southern Minnesota is 55 years and climbing. Farmland will account for a large portion of the transfer of wealth, yet it remains unclear to whom this wealth will be transferred. For every six farmers 65

or older, there is only one under the age of 35 standing in line to replace them, according to the 2012 USDA Ag Census. However, there is a model that allows retiring farmers the peace of mind that their land will continue to be farmed by a new generation. In 2014 SMIF launched a farmland retention program called Preserving our Heritage. What makes this model unique is that rather than liquidate the asset as most charities do, we keep the land, continue it as productive farmland and use the income stream to support impactful community work. Choosing to donate one’s land is an enormous benefit on all fronts: The landowner will receive a tax deduction and bypass capital gains while still being able to maintain a stable revenue source. The tenant can continue to rent and farm the land. The county maintains its tax base. The foundation retains ownership and acts as a steward of this resource to ensure the community benefits long-term from the income generated. Most importantly, the farmer leaves a legacy for their community. Through this program, retiring farmers can give some or all

of their land directly to one of the many community foundations that exist under SMIF’s umbrella, allowing farmers to support their individual communities. When a farmer is thinking about estate planning, it can be a comfort to know there is a way their land can remain active farmland and provide them with a steady revenue stream, while in the long-term also benefitting the communities and causes they care about most. Our community foundations and other affiliate funds are doing amazing work and have to date invested $4.6 million through grantmaking to their communities. They are keeping our rural communities vibrant, providing funding for today and into the future. We are proud to be in a position to support their efforts. SMIF’s 28 community foundations include Alden, Blue Earth, Byron, Eagle Lake, Ellendale, Elysian, Goodhue, Harmony, Henderson, Lanesboro, Le Sueur, Mabel, Madison Lake, Mapleton, Montgomery, New Prague, Our Town USA-United South-Central School District, Plainview, Preston, Rushford, Sleepy Eye, St. Charles, St.

MN Sheriffs’ Scholarship Program accepting applications The 2018 Law Enforcement Scholarship Program is now accepting applications. The MSA Board of Directors has established a scholarship fund for the awarding of up to 15, $600 scholarships for this year. These scholarships are due to the coordinated efforts of the 87 sheriffs of the State of Minnesota. Editorial Cartoon

The members of MSA gives special recognition to the financial needs of students attending the peace officer skills course, or one of the two- or four-year law enforcement degree colleges. MSA recognizes the importance of pre-entry training for people considering law enforcement as their career choice and that some students need outside help

in meeting the costs of such training, even though they excel academically. The scholarship committee, in making its selection of awards, intends on achieving representation from all geographical areas of the state. Scholarship awards are announced by December 28 of the same year. Application forms and a statement of pro-

cedures are available at the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office, 901 Houston St. NW, Preston Minn. 55965. Scholarships are only available to students currently enrolled in one of the following three categories: 1. Mandated POST Skills Program 2. In their second year of a two-year law enforcement program. 3. In their third or fourth year of a four-year college criminal justice program. In order to qualify, students

C ommentary By Aaron Bishop Harmony, MN The Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO) on Hawaii Island tests the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. In April and May of 2018, the MLO measured the highest conAaron Bishop centration of CO2 ever recorded in human history. Four hundred ten parts per million (ppm). What does this mean for the world, the nation, and Fillmore County? To be clear, water vapor is the world’s greatest greenhouse gas accounting for more than 95% of the greenhouse effect. This figure is often cited by the dwindling number of climate change deniers as proof positive that minor changes in CO2 levels are not to blame for the warming Earth. Why is most of the focus for slowing climate change about CO2? The answer lies with the nature of water and the fact that slightly more CO2 significantly increases evaporation, thus trapping more heat, triggering a positive feedback loop. More water vapor also increases the intensity of rain events.

Yet, the Earth has had huge CO2 fluctuations in the past without human intervention (since such events occurred before our species walked the planet), how do we know we’re causing it? Analyses from trapped air in ice core samples from Greenland and Antarctica provide geologists and climatologists a picture of prehistoric trends of CO2 emissions from 800,000 years ago. Similar studies involving carbon and oxygen isotopes in seashells also help shed light on atmospheric conditions millions of years ago. In short, the earth has not seen such high concentrations of CO2 for more than four million years. More importantly, the rate of CO2 emissions we see now is nearing those which occurred 66 million years ago that ultimately resulted in the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs. Estimates of pre-industrial revolution CO2 levels are generally around 280 ppm (68% of where we are now). Sixty-six million years was a long time ago; how will increasing CO2 levels affect the United States now? Disregarding the devastating affects from severe weather patterns, increasing CO2 will impact your wallet when it comes to many foods. The oceans cover 70% of

Earth’s surface and are natural CO2 sinks (meaning they absorb CO2). Studies clearly show a trend in ocean acidification directly resulting from additional CO2. Water that mixes with carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid, which can do wonderful things, like make pop fizzy or dissolve limestone to form caves, but it can also lower the pH levels of large bodies of water. This destroys sensitive calcium carbonate shells that protect many organisms in the oceanic food web. When the base of the web begins to collapse, it affects everything up the food chain, including humans. Oceans are a huge source of food for many people. Fillmore County clearly doesn’t rely on seafood. What we rely on is agriculture, namely crop production. Unfortunately, increased CO2 in the atmosphere can also negatively affect crop quality. A study from 2016 highlights the misconception that rising CO2 levels should enhance crop production. Although this may be true in some crop varieties, the study clarifies that there is substantial evidence most vegetation, including many crop types, will see a decrease in productivity and nutrient value. Earth has had more CO2 in the past, but conditions were different then. Humans weren’t around. CO2 emission rates are still increasing, and those of us alive now will not necessarily live long enough to see the full impact of our decisions. What decisions do we make and what options do we have to ensure a good quality of life for our children and grandchildren? We can deny the impacts of CO2, we can ignore it, or we can talk about it and do something. What can we do if we want to change something but don’t know how? As always, we should collaborate, share ideas, and work together. Cheers.

Letter about your vote... To the Editor, Lee Hamilton was spot on concerning Republican efforts to suppress voting rights, but there’s more. Massive Republican gerrymandering has stolen voting power from millions. For decades, when Republicans have legislative control, they usually refuse to allow a vote unless there is majority Republican support. Bipartisanship is not allowed. Republican appointed members of the Supreme Court gave us the Citizens United case allowing unlimited wealth to influence our elections. Trump empaneled a voter fraud commission witch hunt he later disbanded when nothing was discovered. Not surprisingly, they chose not to look at foreign electronic election fraud. Our democracy is turning into a sham. Republicans endlessly push money to the wealthy. Corporate CEOs make over 3,000 times as much money as the average worker. Worker’s real wages have actually fallen in the past year. The latest wealth give-away cost us $1 trillion. The moral degradation of

Trump and his supporters is appalling. Hundreds of children were taken from their parents and locked up. They still don’t have a clue about reuniting many of them. A Trump casino paid a $477,000 fine for money laundering involving Russian mobsters. It’s all but certain that massive money laundering has continued with Trump property sales involving Russians. Trump has no understanding of international trade. His tariffs act like a tax on us. They will negatively impact American employment. Trump flaunts the Constitutional Emoluments Clause. Trump attacks a free press, has a Nixonian enemies list, and seeks to intimidate and hide the massive corporate swamp-fest he has created with the use of unprecedented non-disclosure agreements. Trump supporter Stan Gudmundson had the gall to criticize those who “violate the morals and ethics you once held� when voting. If you hate democracy and love depravity and evil, then do vote Republican. Greg Rendahl Ostrander, Minn.

Correction The August 13, 2018, Mabel City Council article, “Mabel ponders zoning permit changes,� on page 22, incorrectly stated the zoning permit fine amount. The amounts listed in the article were examples from other locations; Mabel has not yet set a specific fine for zoning permit violations. We apologize for this error.

tenth grade physical education and health classes will be combined to allow for better scheduling with a two-year curriculum. Since students in grades nine through 12 will eat lunch at the same time this year, they will have a seventh period flex time of 25 minutes that will allow for meetings and learning opportunities. The Middle School Core Team (English, math, science and social studies) will meet with the seventh graders for three hours in the morning and the eighth graders for three hours in the afternoon. The schedule will vary from day to day depending on the curriculum that is being taught and the project based learning activities. Students taking the Engineering Design/Drafting class during second semester will get three credits from the Southeast Technical College in Winona. Another CIS (College in the Schools) class, CIS Anatomy and Physiology II, will allow students to earn four college credits. Two new courses being offered are Statistics, and Games and Sports; an elective physical education class. Three consent items were removed and added to new business: approval of the elementary and high school student handbooks, approval of the elementary and high school staff handbooks and the hiring of varsity softball coach, Jerry Chase. Consent items approved were the meeting minutes of July 16, and special meeting August 6. Also approved was the posting of notice for snow removal quotes. The following new hires were approved: Haley Brackett, preschool teacher; and Rachel Schieffelbein, preschool assistant. The job posting for junior high football coach was also approved. Under new business, the Truth in Taxation Hearing set for December 17, 2018 at 7 p.m. was approved along with the Resolution Calling the School District General Election. This will begin the election process for school board. Of the four people who have filed, three are incumbents: Matt McMahon, Lanny Isensee, and Scott Backer. Dorothy Billmeier has also filed. The items removed from the consent agenda were then

addressed. Board member, Scott Backer stated that he had not been able to read through the student and staff handbooks because he had just received them that morning. He said he didn’t feel comfortable voting on acceptance of them without looking them over. It was decided that in order to provide time for reviewing, the handbooks would be put on the September agenda for approval. Lanny Isensee had concerns about approving Jerry Chase for varsity girls softball coach because he felt it was the mixing of labor and management. Amy Jeffers and Katy Priebe felt it was clouding the duties of each and wearing two hats at once. Priebe stated that in a small town you need to have clarity and transparency to make sure it’s clear to the public. Matt McMahon and Scott Backer discussed the need to look at hiring the best candidate for the position. It was clarified by Superintendent Harris that the MSBA (Minnesota School Board Association) allows board members to be employed by the school district if the salary is not more than $8,000. He also suggested that the issue be tabled and they could have a work session facilitated by MSBA to help the board with the issue and vote on it at the September board meeting. Jerry Chase said that would be too late as he needs to start the planning for the position. McMahon noted that the same issue had come up two years ago and no board policy was ever written to eliminate the problem and that the board again is being reactive because they don’t have a policy. After much discussion the motion to approve Jerry Chase as the varsity softball coach was made and seconded and the vote was three against the approval, two for the approval and one abstention. The motion failed. After more discussion, another motion was made and seconded to approve Chase as the softball coach, pending his resignation from the board on January 1, 2019. This was approved with five votes for the motion and one abstention. A reminder that the school board meetings are at 7 p.m. on the third Monday of each month at the high school and that summer office hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. The meeting was adjourned. www.traditionspreston.com 1-507-765-3837 E.O.E

Rushford Village discusses land sales; road work By Kirsten Zoellner At the Tuesday, August 21 meeting, the Rushford Village Council was joined by a number of individuals including Bryce Lange, of Community and Economic Development Associates (CEDA). On hand to discuss the recent Southeast Minnesota Regional Economic Study, Lange noted the goal is to locate trends and narrow the scope of some 600 variables, as they relate to tourism, immigration, jobs, and housing. One of the recent CEDA plans is a land forum meeting, to be held September 13, at 6 p.m., at the Village Hall. “What we’re looking to accomplish is bringing landowners, developers, and bankers together who are looking to develop the land. The first step in getting something accomplished is finding the players and see who wants to develop the land,” said Lange. “We need to make sure these people understand what we can do for them in terms of grants and loans.” “It’s kind of a good time; looking at the possibility of industrial, residential, and with the new school,” said Mayor Gordon Johnson. “It’s really hard to get a feel until after you have something. Are there other things you’ve found that are of interest?” “You are the largest city, by area, in Fillmore County,” responded Lange. “We’re not sure where that development is going to happen, but we have a lot of money to work with, to make it attractive to people. There are a lot more positives with Rushford Village. Working with them is the first step forward.” Also present at the meeting were Don Ramsden from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, David Schmidt, of The Nature Conservancy, an international group dedicated to the conservation of lands and waters. The conservancy is in the process of purchasing a 960-acre parcel currently owned by Margie Schueler and the Elmer R. Schueler Trust. Six hundred forty acres of the parcel lie within Rushford Village, while the remainder is in Winona County. Portions of the property are agricultural land and pasture, but the majority is forested and home to an abundance of native plants and wildlife. Rush Creek and Schueler Creek run through the property. “We thought a lot about what would happen to the farm,” said Margie Schueler. “We could have sold off piecemeal to a developer, but we just wanted it to stay like it was. With the wildlife, we envision a place of learning. We hope the school would want to use it. We want people to go in and enjoy nature.” “It is our intent to transfer it over to DNR Wildlife Management,” noted Schmidt. Johnson expressed concern with transfer of land to the state and the loss of taxable property, noting the state provides payment in lieu of taxes to the county, in which the county pays a minimal amount to the city. Rushford Village provides no benefits to the property currently, with the exception of trash

collection to two residences, as it is accessed via County Road 27. Schmidt noted it was not in their power to address the state statute for payment to the city. “It has to be addressed with the legislature,” he said. Schmidt urged the council to consider the exceptional quality of the property. “For every one plat we purchase, there are five or six landowners that we turn down, this is one tract that has a lot of pluses to it.” “It is the ideal area,” added Johnson. “Less than 10% of the total forest land in southeast Minnesota is public,” added Schmidt. “It just happens to be concentrated here.” He went on to note the public amenities of the property are of value, particularly it’s accessibility. Councilors Chad Rasmussen and Mike Ebner both noted that landowners should be able to do with their property as they like. Ebner noted the positives of having the land accessible to the public providing an opportunity to increase local economy. Schmidt indicated they would be willing to advocate for the city at their upcoming meeting with Fillmore County, but urged the council to continue to advocate for itself as well. There used to be farms to hunt and fish on. In other news, the council has approved the specs and plans for the Benson Lane project, in addition to a contract with Generation X to do the construction. Derek Olinger, of Bolton & Menk, was on hand to discuss the details. The original plan has been downsized considerably and has been reviewed by Bolton & Menk, the city’s engineer. Plans now call for two 48-inch culverts, with concrete over top and aggregate underneath. The city will supply aggregate for Generation X for further cost savings. “One thing you should know about this; I will fully expect it to crack in a few areas,” said Olinger. He indicated it will hold together, but a certain amount of cracking

is unavoidable. “Given the amount of water that goes through this crossing, it’s going to move around a little bit the first few years. It’s more of a cosmetic defect.” Sealing of the cracks in years to come will depend on how the cutting of control joints is done during construction. “If there is a sealable crack, you can give it a try,” he added. Additional fabric, to preventing aggregate from moving out, will be included. A pipe with a sock will also be added to help drain the subgrade and will outlet downstream from the crossing. This will help eliminate the freezing and thawing of water trapped below the soil under the aggregate. The contract price quote is $49,470, which is significantly less than the $100,000-150,000 the Village was originally looking at. There are further ways the city may be able to lower costs, including providing a site for excavation fill to be placed. One of the DNR conditions for not needing a permit was not adding any soil to the area that may increase water levels. Additional proposals were sought, but none were received. Bolton & Menk will assist with making sure plans and specs are followed, but on a selective basis to help keep the estimated $5,00010,000 engineering costs as low as possible. However, the council indicated if engineering oversight was needed, it is important. “We’re not looking to save $500 that’s going to cost us $20,000 later,” said Councilor Dennis Overland. The project will be funding by existing city funds, as opposed to bonding through Minnesota Rural Water. The council is short one candidate for the expiring seats. The filing period for the positions is now expired, so write-in candidate selections will be a key part of the election November 6. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Tuesday, September 4, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Rushford-Peterson approves sale of Peterson site By Kirsten Zoellner It’s been a year since the R-P School District vacated its former facilities to take up residence in the new, single school facility in Rushford. In doing so, the future of the former elementary and high school facilities, in Rushford, and the former middle school, in Peterson, became looming unknowns, despite both the district and communities having their share of potential ideas. While plans for sale of the former Rushford facilities is still a work in progress, there is an identified buyer for the Peterson site. At the Monday, August 20 meeting, the school board approved the purchase to Anderson Maplewood Group, pending final documents and process. The sale is expected to be completed September 19. The sale price is $115,000; $90,000 of the sale is for the building and $25,000 for the contents). “This is a fair price for the building, as well as the contents,” noted Superintendent Chuck Ehler. He introduced Roger Anderson to the group and stated the group’s effort to explore usage of the building as an aviation center, potentially aligning with Rushford Airport. Anderson further explained that the group intends to run two different programs from the location. An Airframe & Powerplant license certification program is for those interested in aviation mechanics, whether jet or standard engines. One particular part of the group’s program is geared towards military

service members, providing funding for training, with no interest. When they secure a job, the training cost is then repaid. Another program that the group hopes to operate is a pilot program for those looking to gain their pilot’s license, whether private or commercial. Anderson noted the group had yet to speak with the City of Rushford. “This is a win-win for the school district, the City of Peterson, and the people you’re going to be working with,” said Board Chairman John Linder. “Think about the kids in this area,” said Anderson. “Boom, there’s a place for them to go, if they wish.” The Redevelopment Committee met on Wednesday, August 22 to continue working to determine a course of action for the redevelopment of the Rushford property. It is expected that some details of the preliminary work on a Plan B, by the City of Rushford, will be brought forth at a future date. In other news, the board received an update from Barbie Doyle, Financial Specialist at Ehlers & Associates. Last month, Doyle laid out the details of plans to put a new operating levy referendum to voters, a year ahead of schedule. By going out a year early and tying the vote into the general election, the district will save costs by avoiding a special election. The board previously approved a resolution for a $300 referendum authority, which does

not impact taxpayers, according to Doyle. The question to the board now, is whether to seek to increase that authority, funded through property tax. What’s being proposed for 2020, is to put forth two questions to voters. The first is whether or not the renewal of the referendum revenue authorization should be approved. “The amount is $440.60 per pupil and it would not increase their taxes,” added Doyle. “It would leave you status quo.” The second question, contingent on the first being approved, is whether or not the district should increase the operating levy. Three options were considered for the increase; $100, $200, or $300. “Remember this is a 10-year decision. What you decide it going to be in place for some time, cautioned Doyle. It was noted that many districts are increasing their levy, as inflationary costs have not kept pace. “If we don’t increase, this will affect our budget,” added Linder. “Just to be clear, this has nothing to do with the building.” “It’s just to pay the bills. Everyone is treated the same in an operating referendum. It’s literally just to pay the bills,” added Doyle. Board Director Dean Mierau noted the timing isn’t good, as it may appear to some as the district is coming back for more money. Ehler added that there are a number of rumors that float into and out of the district. “We hope STELLA JANE MILLER made her appearance August 16th, 2018 at 2:30am, weighing 8 lbs and 20 inches long.

our voters would approve the status quo and give the option to approve the increase,” he said. The board unanimously approved the seeking of a $100 increase to the operating levy, or $540.60 per pupil. During last month’s discussion of the issue, the cost of open enrollment to the district was questioned. Doyle presented new information related to how these students impact the district budget, operating revenue, and state aid. In fiscal year 2018, the equivalent of 64.4 pupil units at the district were open enrollment. Currently, the state pays 68% in debt levy equalization aid, or $76,000 in aid to the district for all students. Without them, the district would receive 64% in aid. “90% of district revenue comes from aid and 10% is levy,” noted Doyle. “The more students you have, the more property poor you are, the more aid you are going to receive.” “It looks like we’re getting $8 per kid whether they’re open enrolled or not right now. That’s not enough to educate,” noted Board Director Jon Pettit. “There’s a cost for these people. There’s a cost that isn’t reflected here; added educators, transportation. If district staff could provide the expenditures for open enrollment, we’d have a clearer picture. It isn’t all just money in our pocket.” “We all know costs are not going down. At the same time, there’s some concerns about costs we face as a district. We have not had to add staff, but have been able to expand programs thanks to additional dollars we have to work with,” responded Ehler. A public forum for the operating levy referendum is scheduled to be held Monday, October 1, at 6:30 p.m., in the Forum Room. Ehlers & Associates representatives will be on hand to answer questions. The board has also given its blessing for administration to continue reviewing options for the trapshooting team, including leaving things as they are, paying for all coaches and costs, and allowing the team to function outside of the school’s control. After a meeting between Superintendent Ehler,

Athletic Director Dan Beiberdorf, and Trapshooting Coach Colby Lind August 18, the current path is to merge the optons. This will allow for the facilitation of fundraising opportunities, which option three didn’t. “At the end of the year, if funds are left over, with board approval, this provides some sort of compensation,” noted Ehler. “The intent is to get it all spelled out, finalized, and brought back to you for approval.” “We never heard any evidence of what we’re doing is broken. The level of support the school has been giving this activity seems appropriate,” said Board Director Bonnie Prinsen. “The goal is just to spell it out so we don’t go through what you as a board have gone through these last few months; to look at what we can do as a school district to support not only students, but coaches. It provides another venue for our students to be involved in another activity or sport, however you look at that,” added Ehler. As it currently stands, students would continue to pay a participation and registration fee. By keeping it a school-facilitated event, the team is eligible to do fundraising. Where option one sees all costs automatically paid, blending option one and two, positive fund balance could be used for coach or additional cost reimbursement. The school would pay all transportation. A final decision will be made at a future meeting. The district is also looking at the options for creation of a robotics team. A meeting was held between Ehler, Beiberdorf, High School Principal Jake Timm, and Mike Mulholland, who has approached the district to spearhead or provide leadership for a team. “This would help facilitate another avenue for our students,” said Ehler. “It’s not a MSHSLsanctioned event, but a number of schools in the area have competitive robotics teams.” The topic was strictly informational for now, but will be brought back for discussion at a later date. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Monday, September 17, at 5:30 p.m., in the Forum Room. The public is encouraged to attend.

Lanesboro School Board discusses results of community meeting By Hannah Wingert On Monday, August 13, a special Lanesboro school board meeting was held at 7 p.m. in the elementary library. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed facilities project with members of the community of Lanesboro. A similar meeting was held earlier this year during the beginning stages of the project and, now that project is getting closer to being finalized, the board wanted to hear feedback from the community again. The questions and suggestions received at the first meeting had been very helpful in putting

together the project plans, and the board members were not disappointed by the engagement at the second meeting either. “I think all around, it was a positive meeting,� board member Dave Lawstuen noted. The board was able to review the project plans so far with the community members who attended the meeting, receive their input, and answer any questions. The general feeling among the school board and the Lanesboro residents is one of excitement to start the project and see their school updated and improved for the students. To find out more about the project,

Fire hydrants and Kernza By Karen Reisner A Kernza licensing agreement and the replacement of five fire hydrants were discussed at the Chatfield City Council’s August 13 meeting. Brian Burkholder, public works, introduced the agreement with The Land Institute (Kansas) which owns the trade-

mark for Kernza, a perennial, continuous living cover crop, which can be used to improve water quality. It is an intermediate wheat grass with roots that survive through the winter. There are two plots (a total of 10 acres) in the city, one owned by the city and the other privately owned. Burkholder

Superintendent Matt Schultz reported that the teachers are preparing for the upcoming school year which will be starting soon. The new concession stand, which was built by last year’s Industrial Arts class, was moved to the football field in preparation for the approaching football season. The newest board member, Steve Storhoff, was able to attend the Minnesota School Board Association’s recent conference. “It was very eye-opening,� he said about the information he learned

at the workshops. “There’s more to it than I ever dreamt.� Storhoff recommended the conference to anyone interested in learning more about being a school board member. A resignation from daycare aide Pam Dietrich was approved along with a resignation from Title I teacher Mitchell Walbridge. The board also discussed a resignation from band instructor Katrina Schuneman, but decided to table it until next month’s meeting at which time they will hopefully be able to also approve the hiring of a new instructor. The fall head coach contracts

reported that the Kernza had been thrashed this last Thursday and will be combined. The licensing agreement allows the seed to be sold and distributed. The city’s well protection plan includes the crop management of Kernza, which helps use up nitrates, protecting water quality. A Kernza Field Day was held on August 22, with the program running from 9:30 a.m. to 12

p.m. Taking place south of the Chatfield Elementary School on Hillside Dr., there were several speakers on subjects including water protection, soil health, nitrogen research, and Kernza cover crops. Attendees were able to see Kernza and look at its root base. Approval was given to replace five fire hydrants along Highway 52 in May before the 2019 Highway 52 project. The

were approved. James Semmen was hired as the head football coach, Julie Schreiber as the head volleyball coach, and Ellen Cullen as the head cross country coach. A resolution relating to the election of school board members and calling the school district general election was reviewed and approved. The purchase of a 10 passenger van was approved, which will be used to transport a special education student. Superintendent Schultz noted that the addition will bring the district up to a total of four large vans. The next Lanesboro school board meeting will be held on September 20 at 7 p.m. hydrants are at least 50 to nearly 70 years old. Parts are not available for the old hydrants. The replacement of the five hydrants is estimated to cost about $26,000.

of $1,042. It was summarized that this amount represents roughly a 6% increase, which would create a tax impact of $106 on a $100,000 home. Plaehn pointed out that if Kingsland’s enrollment continues to dwindle in the coming years, expense reductions would be needed in addition to this levy amount. The board approved the hiring of Jasper Hamersma (Elementary PLTW teacher), Morgan Howard (JH Volleyball coach), and Patricia DeYoung (Food Service). The board accepted resignations of Linda Boland (Food Service), Morgan Howard (JH Volleyball coach), and Belinda Klomps (Food Service). The board approved “lane changes” for Morgan Jacobson, Erin Milz, Aaron Thauwald, Laurie Hendrickson, Kevin Greer, and Christine Howard. Superintendent Hecimovich gave public thanks to donations, including Valley Home Improvement (donation of four money aprons for use at events), custodial staff for their hard work in getting ready for the school year, and Liddle Remodeling Company for donation of leftover lumber to Kingsland’s construction crew.

tion of Kingsland’s property in Wykoff, Hecimovich summarized, “Basically, the bus garage went for $75,000, the campus and building went for $27,500, and the contents a little over $23,000.” He added that due to abatement requirements, he is hoping to close in about four months with the purchaser of the building and campus. Hecimovich concluded, “And I’m very happy that the person that bought it really does care about the community,… and I think he’s going to work very closely with the city of Wykoff to make sure it’s used correctly. So I’m very excited.” He also stated that he would soon meet with city officials in Wykoff to take care of vacating Line Street. Business Manager Amber Herbrand gave a financial update, adding that the annual audit was completed last week. The board voted to approve the Fuel Bid from Baudoin Oil Company, as well as the Milk Bid from Dean Foods. Hecimovich stated that the school year started smoothly, and “It’s great to have the kids back.” The next board meeting will be a “work session” on Tuesday, September 4, at 6 p.m. in the conference room.

Mabel-Canton volunteers really clean up By Rich Wicks The Mabel-Canton School Board held a regular meeting on August 21. Members present were Mark Weidemann, Jason Marquardt, Chris Miller, Chris Loppnow, Diane Wilder and Liz Hershberger; Board Chair Cristal Adkins, Principal Michelle Weidemann, Superintendent Gary Kuphal, and high school secretary, Lynette Donald. Business Manager Aimee Lake was absent. No student board representative was in attendance, but Superintendent expects to have a new representative from the student body to start attending the meetings beginning in October at the latest. No members of the public had requested to address the council. Kuphal proudly talked of the great turnout and participation at the recent “volunteer clean-up day” August 12. He said there were a total of 55-60 volunteers, including about a dozen students. He said the crew accomplished everything that was hoped for, and that the event went very well, including a lot of painting, pressure-washing, cleaning out the shed, landscaping, and moving items from third floor storage. He said that several volunteers had enthusiastically asked about having another clean-up day soon, and it will likely be held in October. He summarized, “A big thanks to everyone involved.” Cristal Adkins agreed, saying, “Everybody that I heard from said it was smooth, People just did things; they just jumped in.” The board discussed the evaluation of the superintendent. He was given the option of having the information shared in a closed or open meeting, and he chose open. Cristal Adkins shared the summarized feedback from board members. The board expressed appreciation for the work Kuphal has done since coming to MabelCanton. Kuphal also shared that there is an upcoming meeting of the Decorah Area Interim School Board, which some M-C Board members will attend, since it may involve decisions regarding open enrollment that would impact some Mabel-Canton students. Kuphal gave public thanks to donors, including an anonymous donation of $1,955 for football headsets, American Legion Post 400 Canton ($300 for Cougar History-Weight Room Supervision), Canton Fire Department ($100 for cheerleaders), M-C Booster Club ($200 for prom and $400 for HUDL filming), and American Legion Post 299 Mabel ($200 for Cougar History-Weight Room Supervision). Melissa Miller addressed the board on behalf of the Booster Club. She shared information about the 2018-2019 membership drive, which included a summary of the club’s donations totaling over $4,000 in 20172018, including weight room equipment, gym banners, postprom, two senior scholarships, elementary playground equipment, Community Night Out,

Mabel Summer Rec, and items for several of the Mabel-Canton sports teams. She added that the club now has a presence on Facebook. The board discussed the possibility of pursuing a communication tool for the website, but after discussion, Kuphal said, “I’m not ready to recommend this.” The board chose to table the issue for now, and Kuphal will ask the company to provide more information to address some of the board’s questions and concerns. Kuphal told of the upcoming opportunity for Mabel-Canton to apply for a School Safety

Grant. He said it’s a very competitive process but that M-C will most likely submit a request for $500,000 (the maximum amount). Michelle Wiedemann reminded the board that an open house will be held on Wednesday, August 29, 3:30-6:30 p.m., and will include a “Hidden in Plain Sight” walk-in display to teach parents where drug paraphernalia may be hidden by youngsters nowadays. The meeting adjourned at 7:50. The next regular board meeting will be Tuesday, September 18 at 6 p.m. in the Media Center. The public is welcome.
