Kingsland to donate Lanesboro local earns prestigious aviation scholarship baseball field?

By R ich Wicks

rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The Kingsland School Board met in regular session August 21, with all members in attendance: Doug Plaehn, Deb Larson, Ann Oeltjen, Jackie Horsman, Tiffany Mundfrom, and Heather Betts, along with Interim Superintendent James Hecimovich.

Hecimovich informed the board that the city of Wykoff is interested in obtaining a baseball field which Kingsland no longer uses in that city. He added, “What we would propose,… we would be very interested in donating it to the city, but the only caveat would be, of course they would need to maintain the field, cut the grass,… but we would ask that they plow the

Childhood is the stuff dreams are made of and everyone envisions what they’ll one day become. For most, dreams change and life happens. It’s a rare few who stick to their ambitions and make them a reality.

Layton Howerton, a Lanesboro Class of 2017 valedictorian, is taking his childhood dream and soaring.

“I first became interested in aviation when I was little,” says Howerton. “I saw the Blue

Angles fly several times in Pensacola, Fla., where my grandparents lived and spent a lot of time at the National Naval Aviation Museum on Pensacola’s Navy base. I can remember flying to Pensacola. It was really amazing and the pilot gave my sisters and I wings. I still have them!” he enthuses.

Last summer, he attended the Aviation Career Education camp at South Dakota State University. It was the first time he had the opportunity to fly in a small aircraft, a Cessna 172. In December, looking to

find additional flying time, he discovered the Young Eagles program run by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).

“The program inspires young aviators by taking them on a free ride. I needed to become a Young Eagle before I turned 18 in January,” he notes. As fate would have it, an EAA Chapter in Blaine, Minn., had a flight in December and Howerton was able to meet the cutoff. “It was amazing!” he says.

parking lot when they do the city streets… for as long as it’s a viable facility.” He explained this would save Kingsland many hours/dollars, since there would not be a need to send someone to Wykoff to clear the lot every time it snows. He will talk with Wykoff city staff about this idea.

Hecimovich also explained to the board about an option regarding the DCD program.

He said in special education, there is a cap regarding how much funding a school can get, and Kingsland is nearing that cap. He told of a nearby school that recently exceeded their cap, and was in a significant budgetary bind because of See FIELD Page 6 

Bike Share Program launches across Fillmore County

By H annah Wingert hannah@fillmorecountyjournal.com

“It gives Fillmore County residents the ability to check out a bike to have some fun, have access to transportation, or get some exercise,” Fillmore County Public Health Educator Brenda Pohlman stated about the new Bike Share Program which allows people to “check out” bikes to use.

When Pohlman heard of a grant to purchase bikes for public use through the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership, or SHIP, she approached the Root River Trail Towns Organization to see if they were interested.

The Root River Trail Towns Organization, a non-profit and volunteer based organization that meets once a month, is made up of representatives from the nine towns along the Root River Bike Trail. Of those towns, Preston, Fountain, Harmony, and Rushford/Peterson all opted to apply for the Bike Share Program grant.

Each of the towns received five to seven men’s and women’s bikes along with helmets, locks, and a bike rack. The bikes are all branded with the Root River Trail Towns logo.

erton learned the Blaine Chapter gives an annual scholarship to one student for camp at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis. The scholarship covers the full camp cost, including flight experiences in both small aircraft and helicopter, workshops, and classroom study.

While searching the internet for other opportunities, he also discovered the LeRoy W. Homer Jr. (LWH)Foundation. The foundation pays homage to the late LeRoy W. Homer Jr., First Officer of hijacked United Airlines Flight 93, which went down in a field near Shanksville, Pa., on September 11, 2001.

Howerton opted to apply for both scholarships, not expecting anything. “It was a very long application process,” he recalls.

“I had to write several essays and get letters of recommendation.

I really wasn’t expecting to win either scholarship.”

In early spring, Howerton was notified he’d been selected to receive the EAA scholarship. “I was very excited and grateful,” he says. In May, he found out he’d also been selected for the prestigious LeRoy W. Homer Jr. Scholarship as well. The scholarship covers all costs related to obtaining a private pilot license.

The process to secure a pilot’s license may be tedious enough, but add a limited timeframe and it takes one determined spirit. In

addition to the required minimum of 40 hours of flight time, would-be-pilots must complete 10 hours of solo time, solo crosscountry time, a written test, oral test, and a practical test. “There are many specific skills that have to be learned before the training is complete. Isaac Deters, my instructor, has been great. We have had a very tight schedule and he’s been awesome to work with.”

“My solo cross-country trip was a really interesting experience,” recalls Howerton. “I flew my instructor and another pilot to Indiana to purchase an airplane. They flew back in the new plane and I was on my own to fly back from Indiana. It was quite an adventure!”

“The LeRoy W. Homer scholarship has been amazing. It is such an honor to learn to fly in memory of a 9-11 pilot. I think about him often when I’m flying,” he adds. “Brian Florence, vice president of the LWH Foundation, has been great during this whole process. He has been very encouraging, and he even flew to Minnesota to meet Isaac and me.”

The time crunch of obtaining a pilot’s license amid everything else was easily the most challenging for Howerton. “We didn’t start flying until June 21 and I needed to be finished before I went to school at Iowa State August 16. It was a lot of work but definitely worth it!” In the middle of it all, July 19-27, How-

erton departed for EAA. “Each day we had workshop time and classroom time. During the workshop time we built a wing rib, worked with sheet metal, learned to weld, and made a fiberglass clipboard. In the classroom, we studied things like weather, aerodynamics, aircraft systems, aerial navigation, and flight controls and systems. The last two days of camp we were free to roam AirVenture. We watched air shows, visited many of the aircraft manufacturers, and got to check out all of the different aircraft,” he adds.

“This was my first time at AirVenture, and I loved it! It is such a massive airshow. It was fun to see all of the different kinds of aircraft,” Howerton continues.

“If it flies, it will be at Oshkosh; from vintage WWII planes to kit built aircraft to all kinds of experimental flying contraptions.

I’m really interested in all types of WWII aircraft.”

As luck would have it, the very first LeRoy W. Homer Jr. Foundation scholarship winner was also attending AirVenture in Oshkosh. “Lieutenant Mike Scott, United States Navy F-18 flight instructor and Gulf War veteran, met our son and took him up in a vintage WWII era T-6 Texan trainer. It was an acrobatic experience he will never forget!” adds Christine Howerton, Layton’s mother. “This amazing opportunity would not have happened if Layton had not won both of these amazing scholar-

“I can’t really describe how amazing it was to fly in the Texan,” remembers Layton Howerton. “We flew with another Texan ‘in formation.’ We did simulated dogfights and barrel rolls. I was able to fly the plane during part of the flight, and it was awesome flying a vintage airplane. One of the best parts of this whole experience was getting to meet Lieutenant Scott at AirVenture. He was the first recipient of the LeRoy W. Homer Jr Scholarship. The LWH Foundation winners are all very close and they often get together.

Next year, they are planning a big event on September 11 and are flying all of the past scholarship winners to New Jersey to attend.”

For more information or to learn how to apply for this scholarship, visit https://www.leroywhomerjr.

org/scholarships/. Applications are posted each October, with a January 31 deadline.

Plans for Howerton from this point on aren’t all decided yet.

“I’ve always known that I wanted to have a career that somehow relates to aviation. I would really love to work for Boeing, Lockheed, NASA, or SpaceX after graduating from Iowa State with a degree in aerospace engineering.”

“The most rewarding part of all of this has been the flying. I love to fly, and it’s really fun to see the countryside from the air,” he adds.

Howerton is the son of Christine and Winston Howerton. He is a student member of the Experimental Aircraft Association, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, and the Flying Cyclones at Iowa State.

Shown in a vintage WWII era T-6 Texan trainer during the July 2017 AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., are Lt. Mike Scott, front and Layton Howerton, a 2017 Lanesboro graduate and winner of two flight scholarships. The two pilots had an acrobatic experience that will forever be remembered.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

C ommentary Bringing the science to you: Recycling 101 LaVerne C. Paulson Could Fetal Alcohol Syndrome ByRecycling Education Coordinator Only one in six households be reversed someday? disposes of batteries correctly.

By Sara Snipes The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate based upon studies of health records that 1-2 infants per 1,000 live births are affected by Fetal Sara Snipes Alcohol Syndrome, or FAS (CDC, 2017).

Other studies suggest as much as 5% of children in the United States are affected by this (CDC, 2017). FAS is very descriptive in its title as it is a condition that affects infants after being exposed to excessive amounts of alcohol in utero. This syndrome is usually depicted by low birth weights, abnormal facial features, poor coordination, etc. Usually these infants are born to mothers with alcoholism that were unable or refused to seek treatment or in the case that a female does not know she is pregnant but continues to drink heavily on a regular basis.

As studies progress, there was a successful trial published in Molecular Psychiatry on July 18 this year describing how a common blood sugar medication or extra doses of thyroid hormone can help reverse symptoms associated with FAS. As the article describes, the mother provides all necessary hormones for brain develop to the fetus while in-utero. When a mother drinks, the necessary thyroid hormones will not reach the fetus and result in an underdeveloped hippocampus Editorial Cartoon

which is the center for learning and memory.

In this study, the team gave newborn rats doses of a thyroid hormone that had been exposed to alcohol before birth and tested their abilities to remember certain activities. The rats who were given this treatment were almost on par with the rats who were not exposed to alcohol inutero. The amount of alcohol used in the rats is equivalent to a mother having two drinks per day. Surprisingly, metformin, a blood sugar drug, had a similar effect, but more investigation is needed to understand these processes.

Could this lead to completely reversing FAS in infants? Unfortunately, there are many studies that are successful in rats that don’t end-up working out in human trials. There are many things that could block the ability to move this forward including the ethical implications of performing studies on infants and understanding the longterm changes. However, if this is successful, it could bring calm to a family’s mind if the mother did not know she was pregnant during the first trimester. While this may help FAS symptoms, infants exposed to alcohol inutero have other complications such as a suppressed immune system among others.

Would you support scientists in finding therapies to help infants with FAS? If your answer is yes, this is yet another example of why funding for scientific research is a necessity of a functioning and intelligent society.

M i n ne s ot a is number two in the nation with a recycling rate of nearly 45%. The “cha sing arrows” on LaVerne C. a Styrofoam Paulson conta iner does not make it recyclable.

Thirteen million glass jars and bottles are used in the United States each day with only 25% being recycled. There are containers for Salvation Army donations of clothing, curtains, rugs, shoes, purses, and belts at the Recycling Center in Preston. Nearly one-half the trash found in the garbage at gas stations is bottles and cans that people clean out of their vehicles while fueling.

In 1976, an average American drank one and one-half gallons of bottled water in a year. Today that number has grown to 30 gallons. Plastic bags deposited in the red container at the Recycling Center are not recycled, but sent to landfill. Forty percent of the pure water you use in your home is flushed down the toilet. A “tin can” is really 99% steel. The fee for proper disposal of a TV, computer monitor, microwave, stove, refrigerator, dehumidifier, or freezer is $10.00 at the Fillmore County Resource Recovery Center.

The average American produces nearly five pounds of garbage each day. A greeting card that sings to you has a button battery that needs to be recycled.

Twenty-eight aluminum cans weigh one pound. More than 10% of your purchases in a store is for packaging. The 25 billion Styrofoam cups used in the United States each year, laid end to end, would encircle the earth many, many times. Soiled diapers are NOT recyclable.... landfill them. Thirty-five percent of America’s solid waste is one form or another of paper.

In 1960, the composting and recycling rate in the United States was 8%. Today it is over 35%. Paint is the most common item brought to Household Hazardous Waste Day. Household Hazardous Waste Days are celebrated the first Tuesday of May and the first Tuesday of October. There are six locations throughout the county where rural recycling containers can be found. When given the opportunity to recycle, most people will. By weight, more paper is recycled in the United States than all glass, plastic, and aluminum cans combined.

The aluminum industry pays $800,000,000 for recycled aluminum cans each year.

There are still a few mercury thermometers lurking about in Fillmore County, but that number is steadily getting smaller.

The side of a modern day aluminum can is the thickness of a human hair. The amount of mercury in a CFL is about the size of the ball on the end of your ball point pen, but it is big enough to cause a lot of trouble.

Fifty billion plastic bottles are sold each year.

A lot of garden hoses have been dropped off at the recycling center recently. These are not recyclable and are considered landfill. Once again, thank you for making the extra effort to become better recyclers.

Letter about 10th anniversary of the Rushford flood...

To the Editor, I was honored to join with others in the observance of the 10th anniversary of the Rushford flood. As I stated in my remarks at the ceremony, the citizens of Rushford who adopted the attitude of “never give up” are the reason that the community not only recovered from the flood, but is now flourishing with a bright future ahead. I am pleased that the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) was able to play a small but helpful role at the time of the flooding with our business recovery grants. However, I neglected to mention that the Rushford Area Community Foundation, which SMIF helps to manage, played an enormously important role during the recovery and in the years since.

In particular, the Rushford Area Community Foundation became the conduit for the local group, RADAR, which raised and dispensed over $1 million to assist the community. RADAR is just another example of local residents coming together and why the citizens of Rushford are to be applauded for rebounding from a disaster and building a brighter future.

Lanesboro Child Care Center remodel project nearly complete

By Hannah Wingert Lanesboro Child Care Center’s Heidi Brown updated the Lanesboro school board on the daycare remodel. The project should be completed with all of the classrooms moved to their new locations by August 25.

The staff and kids are eager to get into their new rooms. The daycare remodel will increase the capacity of the facility from 11 infants to 20, 14 toddlers to 25, and 35 preschoolers to 51. “We’re on track to filling to capacity,” Brown noted about current enrollment numbers.

Last month’s school board meeting agenda was approved with several minor changes noted where Dave Ruen’s name had been accidentally substituted for Dave Lawstuen’s.

Superintendent Matt Schultz reported that both sides of the gym bleachers passed inspection, along with the fire alarm system.

Industrial Arts instructor, Paul Cutting will be working with his class to build a new concession

stand for the school during the first semester.

The new school bus was delivered in mid-August. Superintendent Schultz noted that the district is currently looking for substitute drivers and encouraged anyone interested to apply.

Three local farmers nominated Lanesboro Public Schools for a Monsanto grant, and Superintendent Schultz was happy to announce that the district had received the $25,000 grant which paid for Chromebooks for grades 7-12 and iPads for the younger grades.

The school board approved the hirings of Stena Lieb as the K-12 art teacher, Tony Johnson as a social studies/physical education teacher, and Dana Norby as a high school special education teacher. Superintendent Schultz informed the board that all of the teaching spots for the 2017-18 school year have now been filled. The certified and noncertified existing contracts were also approved.

James Semmen was approved as the football coach, Julie Schreiber as the volleyball coach, and Ellen Cullen as the crosscountry coach.

The resignation of special education teacher Jim Gladis had been approved at the July meeting contingent on finding a replacement. As Dana Norby was hired to fill his position, the board approved Gladis’s resignation.

The board approved the second readings of policies 404 regarding employment background checks, 709 regarding students transportation safety, and 721 regarding uniform grant guidance.

The Hiawatha Valley Education District’s Restrictive Procedures for Lanesboro school during the 2017-18 school year were approved and remain the same as the previous year’s.

The district’s crisis management policy was approved by the board. It will be presented to the staff on the first workshop day. Each teacher, including

the costs of providing services to those students. He said, “So Dan (Dan Armagost of SMEC) worked with them and had the kids become SMEC students… so there was no loss in revenue. So he’s proposing that we do that with our Level 3 here at Kingsland… Dan said he’s willing to come and speak to the board about it sometime.”

Hecimovich summarized saying, “So I think it’s a win-win.”

Kingsland’s “Wall of Honor” event will be moved to November 3 this year, so that it will be a “stand alone” event. There was discussion about selling the bus garage in Wykoff, but the board chose to wait until spring to consider this. The board voted to accept the milk bid from Hastings Creamery, and the fuel bid from Baudoin Oil Company. There were no other bids for Kingsland’s milk or fuel for the 2017-2018 school year.

Hecimovich gave public thanks to Laura Gudmundson, Polly, Peggy, and Karroll for

No visitors had signed up to address the board. The board approved the consent agenda items, which included resignations (Jason McNamara, paraprofessional; Jessica Jurgens, second grade teacher; Alex Gleason, SACC Assistant), hirings (Mary Scott, Title 1; Tonia Gardner, grade six), and lane changes (Jacob Vetter, BA to BA+15; Paul Eckheart, BA to BA+15; Kristal Brogan, MA to MA+15; Aaron Thauwald, BA+30 to MA).

The Policy/PR/Curriculum subcommittee will meet September 7 at 5 p.m., and the Finance/Facility/Personnel subcommittee will meet September 11 at 6 p.m. The meeting adjourned about 6:55 p.m. The next regular board meeting will be Monday, September 18, at 6:30 p.m. in the choir room.

no cost. All that is needed is a driver’s license or other form of ID. A parent’s signature is needed for anyone under the age of 18. There are no reservations accepted for bikes, and they are available on a first come, first serve basis.

A maintenance program, which includes regular maintenance as well as any unexpected repair needs, has been set up with the Little River General Store in Lanesboro to service the

bikes from all five towns.

“We thought the program would be nice for citizens who think they may like biking but don’t want to invest until they are sure they like it,” Root River Trail Towns representative Julie Gade from Fountain said. “Or, if someone had visitors they could borrow the bikes for an afternoon to show them the area.”

The six bicycles in Fountain are available for people to sign out from the Fountain City Offices. The program there was officially launched with a “Bless-

Monday, August 28, 2017 ing of the Bikes” at the Fountain Lutheran Church in June. “We expect the bikes to be used into the fall season,” Gade said. “September and October seem to be very popular for biking as the weather is cooler.”

Preston’s bikes are being kept outside of the Preston City Offices and can be signed out there, although Tourism Director Gabby Kinneberg hopes that patrons will be able to check them out from the Preston Public Library by next summer, allowing people to use the bikes on weekends as well as during

the week. Preston’s bike share program was launched with a ribbon cutting by the Minnesota Health Commissioner, Dr. Edward Ehlinger on July 31.

Harmony has six bikes and will be launching its program at some point in the near future.

When they do, the bikes will be available to check out at the library.

The Rushford/Peterson area received seven bicycles through the grant which are available at the Rushford Public Library.

The response to the Bike Share Program has been good so far,

and Kinneberg believes that the popularity of the bikes will only grow as the program matures.

Ernest (Ernie) M. Corson Ernest (Ernie) Merton Corson, 102, Hesper, Iowa, passed away in his sleep on August 20, 2017, with his family at his side at Aase Haugen Senior Services in Decorah, Iowa.

Ernie was Ernest (Ernie) born on the M. Corson Young family farm outside of Hesper on May 29, 1915, to Elmer Melvin and Emma (Young) Corson. His family lived in Hesper on the Skunk Farm and also resided in Prosper, Spring Grove, and Mabel, Minn. Ernie spent many summers on the family farm in Hesper township.

Ernie graduated from Mabel High School in 1935 and attended Minnesota Normal school — the only boy in his class — in Preston, Minn. He also attended Winona Teacher’s College.

He taught for six years, 1st-8th grade at the South Fork, Pigtail, and Diamondback rural schools in Fillmore County, Minn.

Ernie enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1941. He was deemed too old to fly planes at age 26, so he entered radio school and graduated two days before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He served with the Army Airways Communication Services System (AACS) during WWII at locations throughout Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, including volunteering for the invasion of Attu. He was diverted to the nearby Island of Shemya and participated in the building of a top-secret Air Force base during extreme arctic conditions. The soldiers lived in very primitive conditions, with most living in only tents to protect them from windy and volatile weather.

Because he oversaw the radio equipment, Ernie was given the first Quonset hut on the island.

This base, located at the end of the Aleutian Island chain, was used to bomb the northern islands of Japan and to protect the western United States from another Japanese attack. The base was kept secret throughout the war. Ernie was selected to be a part of the invasion of Japan, but thankfully never had to report for that mission, as Japan surrendered.

After World War II, Ernie and his brother Norman opened a

radio repair shop in Mabel. He also installed the first electrical wiring for his uncle Jones and aunt Charlotte on the Young family farm before reenlisting in the Air Force.

He married the love of his life, Charlotte Cleone Clink, November 7, 1946, in Great Falls, Mont.

Two deployments to England soon followed, where they spent six years plus postings at many locations in the U.S. He was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal.

Ernie retired in 1963 after over 20 years of service in the U.S. Air Force. He and Charlotte bought the family farm in Hesper Township, where they raised their six children and enjoyed gardening just as his folks had when he was a child. Ernie became manager of the Mabel Cooperative Telephone Company (Mabel Coop).

He used skills he had acquired as part of AACS and converted the above-ground party line telephone service to underground single party service, which made Mabel Coop the most modern telephone company in the area.

Ernie continued to help on the family farm until the age of 93.

Ernie and Charlotte were faithful members of the Hesper Lutheran Church. Ernie was a longtime Boy Scout Leader and active supporter of the North Winneshiek School. He also played dartball for many years! They spent their golden years sharing their love and Norwegian/Scottish heritage with their precious grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ernie and Charlotte had 66 glorious years together before her death in December 2012.

He was a lifelong member of the American Legion Post #299 and the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Mabel. Ernie participated in the Eastern Iowa Honor Flight to Washington, DC in April 2013.

Ernest is survived by his sister-in-law, Donna Clink, Ames, Iowa; brother-in-law Sterling (Jhan) Clink, Story City, Iowa; daughter-in-law Margaret Corson, Cedar Falls, Iowa; daughters Lynda Metzler, Richland, Mo., and Charlene Selbee, Decorah, Iowa; sons Doug Corson, Hesper; Dalton Corson, Ames; and Forrest (Barbara) Corson, Des Moines, Iowa; grandchildren: Carolyn (Vance), Marisa (Matt), Jeffrey (Louisa), Christopher (Nadja), Timothy (Jen), Anthony, Vickie (Jon), Michael, Aerial (Jason), Elizabeth (Manuel), Lena (Teague), Rikki, and Cristine (Robert); great-grandchildren: Elena, Alyssa, Sophie, Margaret (Maggie), Hayden, Harper, Charley, Zahra, Dylan, Madison, Tyler, Anna, Jayson, Bradyn, Connor, Jordan, Max, Jordin, Christian, Damien, Toby, Trevor, Aidan, Keanu; greatgreat-grandson Adryann, many nieces, nephews, and cousins, as well as countless friendships fostered during his lifetime.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Charlotte; parents, Melvin and Emma Corson; brothers Norman and Manford Corson, sisters-in-law Millie Corson, Anita Corson, Eleanor

I’m Frankie, a 6-year old terrier/lab mix. I love to run and play, A LOT! I love to cuddle on the couch or in bed, especially after a good run. I don’t bark, but get a little overexcited sometimes when playing and I can get a little mouthy, but all you have to say is ‘soft’ and I calm down.

Sometimes, I get territorial with adult male humans. I get a little separation anxiety because I’m used to a dog companion or person around all the time. I love kids, but sometime have a hard time with sudden movements - especially with strangers.

I’m hardly ever by myself for more than a couple of hours.

My foster has a cat. It was a little rough the first couple of weeks, but now we can even sleep in the bed together. It would be great if my forever family was active with activities and a companion dog that has a good, even-keel temperament.

Rushford-Peterson rehires Vix for basketball position

The R-P School Board met for the first time in the new school August 21. Pictured, left to right, are Administrative Assistant Laura Hahn, Student Board Representative Anna Kjos, Board Directors Julie Koop, John Pettit and John Linder, Superintendent Chuck Ehler, and Board Directors Joyce Iverson, Dean Mierau, Bonnie Prinsen, and Valerie Howe.

By Kirsten Zoellner At the July 17 meeting, the R-P School Board pulled a recommendation by administration to rehire of former varsity boys basketball coach Tom Vix from the consent agenda for special consideration. The district had sought applications for the position and both Vix and current assistant coach Chris Drinkall had applied. Typically, the district hires from within for positions, but will contract with non-district staff if no

other applicant can be found.

Superintendent Chuck Ehler indicated to the board that at the conclusion of interviews, he and Athletics Director Dan Bieberdorf made the decision to recommend a one-year contract for Vix for the 2017-2018 school year, citing Vix’s coaching accomplishments and years of service to the district.

After some discussion, Board Director Joyce Iverson motioned to rehire Vix. It was seconded

by Director Julie Koop, but 38-month

the vote ended in a 3:3 split, with Directors Valerie Howe, Dean Mierau, and John Pettit opposed. The decision was ultimately tabled for the next meeting.

Monday, August 21, at the first meeting in within the walls of the new school, administration again brought forth the recommendation to rehire Vix. Board Chairman John Linder began the discussion noting an email from Drinkall to Ehler removing Drinkall’s application for the position.

“Obviously Tom is a good coach; an asset to the community, but I’m frustrated with the process,” responded Mierau.

He continued noting he’d spoken with Drinkall and suggested he and Vix operate with the two sharing the head coaching position. “Chris Drinkall ran the summer program. He’ll be here in Tom’s absence, while he’s teaching at Spring Grove. It’s a win-win for everybody.”

Board Director Bonnie Prinsen, who was absent for the July vote, indicated she, too, had concerns. “It’s unfortunate how it all went down. It became a public issue of Tom versus Chris.” She further indicated that the board’s role is to approve or disapprove of the administration’s recommendations and that Mierau’s conversation with Drinkall was a board overreach.

Mierau countered that his role is to represent those who elected him to the board and again cited his displeasure with the hiring process and the precedence it set.

“We bring you a recommendation. If you don’t like it, let us know. Private conversations undermine our ability to find the best candidate,” stated Ehler.

“It’s not about the individuals.

It’s about the person for the position. Tom Vix has indicated he is not open or receptive to doing a co-head coach. He served our district for 33 years.

A one-year contract will serve him and the district. It’s a winwin.”

Director Koop agreed with Director John Pettit’s assertion at the July meeting that the position should be offered to district employees before nonemployees. “The statements they [Pettit and Mierau] made last month are true. If we’re going to talk the talk, we need to walk the walk.” Koop indicated she’d like to see a one-year contract for Vix, noting no option for another one-year contract the year after. “I don’t want to have this conversation next year,” because he did resign.”

“I own that, as your superintendent,” admitted Ehler. He then indicated that Vix was still an employee of the district when they’d discussed a limited contract. “If we have someone that tenders a resignation, it becomes a gray area. It’s a procedural thing. We’ll learn from this experience going forward.”

Director Pettit, however, stated further concern. “He resigned from teaching and coaching March 15. There wasn’t anything

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. gray about it.” He indicated Ehler had discussed the matter with Vix in May and referenced a May 24 published article in which Vix stated there were possibilities to continue coaching at R-P or another area district that he was something of a free agent. “I don’t know where the free agent thing comes in and I don’t understand why we held this position. It seems we held it until he wanted it.”

At the conclusion of discussion, the board voted 5:2 in favor of Vix’s hiring.

The board also debated the possible hiring of a nurse to serve in the new school’s health office. Citing an email sent to the board from Deanna Thompson, the board rehashed where the district had been and where things were heading.

Prior to the consolidation of the Rushford and Peterson School Districts, Rushford’s Clinic was located directly across Mill Street from the school, so the idea of a school nurse was largely impractical. Several years after the consolidation, the clinic was purchased by Winona Health and relocated downtown.

Teachers and staff were typically the ones responsible for assisting with student illness or taking of medications. Guidelines for health and privacy safety are now such that some districts will

employ their own nurse.

“This is a great time to bring it to our attention,” said Director Pettit. “It absolutely needs to be dealt with. I can’t imagine the number of kids taking medication and the law has changed since then. The new facility has a health office. We should act on it.”

The board questioned what procedures were in place now.

Ehler indicated that district administrative assistants are trained to take care of situations and medications. With a student population under 1,000, R-P is not required by law to employ a nurse.

“We can be on the leading edge of things or the backside,” added Pettit. “I think we should put our students absolutely ahead of the rest.”

District administration will gather information on how other small schools within the area deal with the issue and bring that information forward at the September board meeting.

The board also held a closed session at the end of the meeting to discuss the potential sale of the former elementary/high school facility.

The next regularly scheduled board meeting is Monday, September 18, at 5:30 p.m., in the forum room. www.traditionspreston.com 1-507-765-3837 E.O.E

By Tammy Danielson Wisdom through the years Hello friends! I have been writing this column since 2009 and sharing stories about my life and family and probably embarrassing them many times. As I was writing my column last time that talked about my son getting ready to leave for college soon (three weeks!), it really hit me that as parents we can only hope we have instilled good values into

our children as they move away and begin an adult life which involves making their own choices. Will they meet good and decent people? Will someone try to take advantage of them?

As our children move out of the house, we have to remember that they should be full of many years

Easy Ritz Crockpot Chicken

10 3/4 ounce can cream of chicken soup 1 pint sour cream 1 1/2 cups crushed Ritz crackers 1/2 cup butter, melted 4 to 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts Combine the soup and sour cream in a bowl and set aside. In a different bowl, mix together crackers crumbs and melted butter. Place chicken in a slow cooker that has been sprayed lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the soup/sour cream mixture over the chicken and then sprinkle with the Ritz cracker topping. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or cook on high for 4 to 5 hours. Great over mashed potatoes or seasoned butter noodles.

of “mom wisdom” and are totally prepared. Right? Hmmm… here are some highlights from my Mom Book of Wisdom as noted by school grade. I wondered if I have prepared my child enough: Kindergarten-5th grade: Run, play, make friends, be inquisitive, have fun, and please throw the school concert flyer in your backpack (and bring it home) so I don’t have to try to scramble to find a white shirt and black socks at zero-dark-thirty.

6th grade: Wash ALL your skin in the shower. We don’t need to save on water, shampoo, or soap — I have budgeted for all of that stuff.

7th grade: Give it a shot. You can’t say you dislike anything unless you try it…including sports, band, or school dances.

8th grade: Yes, it is YOUR hair. Do what you want. (Fast forward to graduation when we all had a laugh about the school picture that year, “the year of the bangs”) 9th grade: Thank you for explaining to me what teenage angst means. I wasn’t getting it from the behavioral examples.

10th grade: If a little voice is telling you that mom and dad probably wouldn’t approve and don’t do it, then it is probably a poor choice. Listen to the little voice.

11th grade: Be kind — Karma takes care of the rest. If you have ever felt bad because someone called you a name or spread false rumors about you, don’t lower yourself to match their character.

Karma happens.

12th grade: You are going to succeed in life. Not because you are the smartest or the most talented but because you are smart and you use the talents you have.

At the dorm first day of college: No matter what happens or what mistakes you make over the next four years and beyond, please know you can always tell us and we will help you through it if you want. Go make your place in the world! (oh, and hand Mom a Kleenex please) This recipe stands true to the idea of this column, which is sharing easy recipes for the working mom.

Fillmore County Sports 2017 Volleyball Preview

By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal.com The 2017 volleyball season begins with turnover being a main theme.

Last year’s The Trende All-ConReport ference teams featured 12 total picks from county teams.

Nine were seniors.

Fillmore Central, Paul Trende RushfordPe t e r s o n , Lanesboro, and Mabel-Canton lost multiple multi-year standout (All-Conference plus) players. Kingsland and Chatfield each graduated experienced seniors groups. And thus uncertainty is another critical theme.

Uncertainty does reign, though Mabel-Canton transcends it.

Lonnie Morken’s Cougars won the SEC-East again last season (14-0). They posted their seventh straight 30-win season (325), falling to section champion Caledonia in the 1A East finals.

It was the Cougars’ fourth straight 1A East final. M-C lost a pair of good ones in Coranda Vickerman and Courtney Graves. Vickerman was one of the best ever, a four-time All-SEC performer, a two-time Player of the Year and All-State selection. Everyone else is back though, as M-C hoards all three/four of the county’s returning All-league picks. Three-time All-SEC senior Savannah Slafter (5’7” OH > 382 kills, 70 aces, 252 digs), the reigning Player of the Year and an All-State (Honorable Savannah Mention) Slafter honoree, returns as the team’s and conference’s top hitter. She already has over 1,000 career kills. Multiyear players, 2016 All-SEC picks Lexi Thorson (5’5” junior libero) and Maddy Michels (5’6” junior MH), also are back. Thorson led

M-C in aces (81) and digs (277).

Michels had 151 kills. The Cougars also boast Dakota Delaney (5’9” senior MH > 138 kills, 38 blocks), a fourth-year player who was All-SEC in 2015, Payton Dan- Lexi Thorson ielson (5’3” sophomore OH > 234 digs, 66 aces), and Kenidi McCabe (5’3” freshman OH > 168 assists, 50 aces, 173 Maddy Michels digs). Size isn’t M-C’s strength, but they rarely have that anyway. And the Cougar gals come off a very successful 2016-2017 sports campaign overall. Their 14-gal roster includes the two seniors above plus 5’6” OH Harley McCabe, three juniors, three sophomores, and five freshmen.

The Cougars have their own Labor Day Classic, the Brainerd Tourney, and Class A Showcase.

They begin the year ranked #7 in Class A. Section foes Hayfield (#2), Caledonia (#3), and Faribault-B.A. (#4) are also ranked.

Travis Malley’s Fillmore Central squad competed for the 3-Rivers title last year. They finished 10-2 in league (third place). The Falcons fell to Mabel-Canton 3-2 in the sub-section semifinals at Mayo Civic Center. FC finished 18-10. That squad was led by the six senior ‘B’s’ squad, which featured four All-TRC picks in Tayah Barnes, an All-State HM selection, Paige Bennett, Bailey Barnes, and Kenzie Broadwater.

This year’s group returns five experienced veterans. Thirdyear player Cailey Rindels (5’8” > 133 kills), the squad’s top returning attacker, and Kaelyn Marzolf (5’11” > 75 kills), give the Falcons a pair of reliable senior middle hitters. Madison Scheevel (5’4” junior setter > 324 assists, 96 digs) gives FC an experienced setter.

Rindels and Scheevel were both All-TRC HM. Paige Donlinger (5’3” junior OH > 147 digs) and

Carlee Birch (5’4” senior DS) round out the troupe. From there, FC’s boasts a fourth senior (5’9” OH Alleigh Meyer), four more juniors, and a trio of freshman for a 13-gal squad. The Falcons have tourneys in Apple Valley, Wabasha, Cailey Rindels and Rochester. They open with #2 in Class A Hayfield.

Rushford-Peterson’s 2016 squad was led by highly heralded seniors Savannah Skalet, Brianna Koop, Ashley Agrimson, and Mikayla Crawford. Skalet was a three-time All-TRC pick, a 2,000-assist setter. Koop was a two-time All-TRC pick. Agrimson was selected in 2016. Crawford finished with over 1,300-career digs. Their departures mean the Trojans will have a new statistical leader in almost every category this season. R-P went 5-7 in the TRC a year ago, 15-13 overall for their sixth straight winning season. They fell to W-K in the 1A East quarters. Head coach Nikki Schultz does boast a 17-gal roster with some nice experience. Senior Nicole Blagsvedt (6’0” MH > 106 kills, 31 blocks), an All-TRC HM pick, is the top returning attacker.

Fellow senior Kensay Clobes (5’8 OH > 44 kills, 35 aces, 107 digs), who missed a good chunk of last year, also enters her fourth year of varsity action. Olivia Hoff (5’4” senior DS > 119 digs), Lauren Lawston (5’9” junior OH > 87 kills), and Kjersta Hinz (5’11” junior MH > 50 kills, 25 blocks) each played in at least 60 sets.

R-P has six seniors (above three plus 5’3” DS McKenzie Eide, 5’7” RH Anna Kjos, and 5’6” RH Kasity Benedict), seven juniors, two sophomores, and two freshman. They have tourneys in Mabel and Wabasha. They open their new school and gym versus Lewiston-Altura.

Kingsland begins the year heading in a better direction then recent years. After one league win total from 2013-2015, the Knights went 4-8 in the TRC last season, 8-14 overall last season. The eight wins was more than the previous two years combined. Their season ended at Schaeffer Academy in a 1A East play-in game. The Knights lost a healthy group of eight seniors.

They return three key full-timers.

Fourth-year player Lauren Buchholtz (5’8” junior OH) led the squad with 202 kills.

She earned All-TRC Ho n o r a b l e Mention.

Kori Kruegel (5’8” senior OH) was Lauren Kingsland’s Buchholtz second leading hitter (97 kills). Taylor Zimmerman (5’4” junior libero > 187 digs, 24 aces) returns for her third

year of varsity action in the back row. The Knights begin the year with a new coach. Sam Hanley comes down from Dover-Eyota.

They have two seniors (Kruegel and 5’5” RH Brianna Hindt), seven juniors, and one freshman for a team of ten. Kingsland added M-C’s Labor Day Tourney to their normal seasonal weekend excursions to Wabasha and Rochester (Century Invite). They open at Grand Meadow.

After years of below average records, Lanesboro posted its second straight winning season last year. The Burros finished 9-5 in the SEC, 12-9 overall under first year coach Julie Schreiber. They fell 3-2 to L-A in a 1A East playin. Schreiber is back for year two.

She graduated five key seniors including two-year All-SEC picks Cassidy Ruud and Lexi Melander, a 1,000-plus assist setter. Burro volleyball took a bit of a hit over the summer when defensive specialist Caroline Mayer suffered a season-ending knee injury. Nonetheless, the Burros move on. The coach’s daughter Joelie Schreiber heads Lanesboro’s cast. The 5’11” senior middle hitter had a team second-best 152 kills last season.

She enters her third year of varsity action.

Lexie Johnson (5’8” junior MH) is the only other returning full-tim- Joelie Schreiber er, though the Burros do have six seniors. Alyssa Iverson (5’5” setter), Claire Pieper (5’7” DS), Janell Boyum (5’11” RH), Chloe Peterson (5’8” DS), and Audrey Ochtrup-Dekeyrel (5’8” OH) join Schreiber. Three juniors, a sophomore, and a freshman round out an 11-girl varsity roster. Like Kingsland, Lanesboro added the Mabel-Canton Labor Day Tourney. They also take on weekend romps in Winona (Cotter) and LeRoy.

After a lengthy run of preeminence in the TRC, Chatfield fell off their previous pace last season.

The Gophers went 1-11 in league, 5-26 overall, losing to Lake City in the 1AA East quarters. Four seniors graduated. Each was AllConference HM. Grace Friederichs (5’3” senior setter) is the most experienced returnee (117 assists, 142 digs). Macy Pederson (5’5” senior OH), Megan Hopp (5’6” senior DS), Kennedy O’Connor (5’9” senior OH), Belle Berg (5’8” junior OH), and Alanna Goetzinger (5’11” junior OH) each saw action in 40% to 70% of Chatfield’s sets. Berg (65 kills, 148 digs, 21 aces) was a notable stat getter. The Gophers have five seniors (above plus 5’3” OH Julia Freiderichs), two juniors, two sophomores, and a freshman for a 10-gal roster. Ruth Ann Lund is back to lead Chatfield.

The Gophers have an early season Rochester Tourney plus shindigs in Decorah and Cannon Falls.

They have a notable new nonconference date with Mabel-Canton.

Houston took on a new coach last season in Brianna Primmer.

The Hurricanes took their licks, going 2-12 in the SEC, 3-19 overall. They fell to R-P in a 1A East play-in game. Primmer graduated four seniors but got a new last name (Meyer). The ‘Canes will look to improve behind varsity vets Becca Lee (5’6” senior MH), Houston’s lone All-SEC HM pick, Amber Chapel (5’10” senior MH), Ariel Scanlan (5’5” junior setter), Marissa Kennedy (5’5” senior OH), Gretchen Hill (5’1” senior DS), and Alyssa Rostad (5’4” junior OH). They’ll hope to get long sophomore Jenny Albrecht (5’10” MH) healthy at some point. The Hurricanes roster has four seniors (above plus 5’7” RH Sarah Albrecht), five juniors, a sophomore, and a freshman. The Hurricanes only tourney is the Cotter Invite. *All TRC stats courtesy of Bill Bentson.

County Jail inspection report discussed

By Karen Reisner Sheriff Tom Kaase reviewed the Fillmore County Jail inspection report at the board’s August 22 meeting. The Minnesota Department of Correction’s (DOC) annual inspection of the facility was conducted from May 10 through May 16, 2017.

Inspectors found that the “jail does not provide a properly trained food service provider at the facility.” The DOC requested an immediate plan to address the violation. The jail’s kitchen is not licensed to prepare meals.

The DOC wants a licensed food vendor to provide meals.

Kaase provided estimates from

CBM Food Service and Consolidated Food Service. Estimates were made for an average daily jail population of eight to 10 inmates. Commissioners questioned whether a professional food service was the way to go. There was discussion as to how to comply while continuing to provide meals using the jail’s kitchen. No action was taken on the food service issue.

Other non-compliant issues included the lack of a recreation area inside the facility.

There is an outside recreation area. An inside recreation area would require remodeling and/ or expansion of the facility.

Fillmore Central ready to start the school year

By Hannah Wingert Fillmore Central is gearing up to start school on September 5.

Numbers are up from the last school year at 351 students currently enrolled in kindergarten through sixth grade versus 345 last year. Open house for the high school and K-6 are on August 30 from 4-6 p.m., along with an open house for SAC and daycare. The open house for Pre-K will also be held on August 30, but from 3-5 p.m.

Fifty-six students have signed up for football, 52 for volleyball, 12 for cross-country, and 11 for cheerleading.

At their regular August 22 meeting, the school board approved the resignation of paraprofessional Taylor Vrieze. They also approved the resignation of part-time high school industrial arts teacher Dennis Peterson and thanked him for the 50 years he spent serving as an educator.

Andy Todd was approved as the volunteer football coach, and Tiffany Scheevel as the volunteer volleyball coach.

A three-year contract for Chris Mensink as the Elementary Dean of Students and Athletic Director was approved by the board.

The board reviewed and approved the list of non-certified staff assignments for the 2017-18 school year.

An open enrollment request

for a second grade student from the Lanesboro school district was approved.

A Memorandum of Understanding will be included in the new teachers’ contracts which will allow the district to pay one experienced teacher up to 10 hours at per diem rates to train the new teachers in the Action 100 program. The program was implemented last year and was a success.

A cooperative arrangement with the Lanesboro school district was approved for the dance team beginning this winter.

A master agreement between Education Minnesota and Fillmore Central was approved for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years.

There are two job openings currently available in the daycare for a toddler room aide position and a transition aide position.

The Truth in Taxation meeting will be held at 6:01 p.m. on December 18, which is also the date for the holiday music and band concert. The regular board meeting that month was also moved to that date and will be held at 5:30 p.m. before the Truth in Taxation meeting and be continued afterwards if necessary.

The next Fillmore Central School Board meeting will be held on September 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the Harmony Media Center.

SWCD program highlights honey bees

Beekeeper Joshua Burgess of Marion shows a honeycomb from one his hives.

On August 8, the Fillmore SWCD sponsored a Prairie Walk at the Savanna Spring Nature Area in Chatfield. One of the featured speakers was Joshua Burgess, a beekeeper from Marion, who spoke about his honey business and the importance of native prairies for producing honey and other crops and food products.

August 19 was National Honey Bee Day, a day designated for educating the public about honey bees and other pollinators and their importance for food production. Those attending the walk learned about how individuals can improve pollinator

habitat even in very small areas by planting plants that provide nectar and pollen, such as those found in the Nature Area. Con-
