Eagle Cliff Campground and Lodging under new ownership By Barb Jeffers barb@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Dan and Melanie Ritter have set their “sites” on a new adventure with the purchase of Eagle Cliff Campground and Lodging located between Lanesboro, and Whalan. After owning and operating several businesses in the past the couple decided in was time for something different. The two looked at restaurants with cabins, and resorts with cabins, but after one resort owner told Melanie she owned over 60 sets of sheets that idea faded quickly! The search then led to campgrounds with four separate attempts to purchase different campgrounds falling through.

The couple then heard about Eagle Cliff Campground and Lodging and, in a last ditch effort, came to meet the owners and tour the campground. Melanie and Dan fell in love with the campground and the area saying, “It’s gorgeous here with the bluffs and the eagles,” said Melanie. The Root River running alongside the campground adds beauty you can not only see but also hear and in areas the river is shallow enough to walk across to a sand bar. On June 17, 2014 the Ritters took over ownership of the campground from previous owners, Ivan & Gail Naber and Harry & Mary Naber, who had built the campground to what it had become over the last 20 years. Melanie said that the

Nabers are wonderful people and thank them immensely for all they have done. Since moving from Blue Earth, Minn. and selling their home there the Ritters have been immersed in learning the day to day operations of the campground. Melanie said, “We are hard workers.” And that is good, because hard work is what they have, although, along with the work comes many positives as well. Easing the transition for Dan and Melanie has been long time seasonal camper, and worker at the campground, Kermit Knutson, who has been a seasonal camper at Eagle Cliff for 17 years.

Councilors made it clear at the Chatfield City Council’s July 28 meeting that Mediacom customers in Chatfield were displeased with the recent channel changes made by the company. Councilors Paul Novotny and Dave Frank were absent. Lee Grassley, Senior Manager, Government Relations for Mediacom Communications, drove up from Cedar Rapids to sit on the hot seat before the council. At the council’s June 23 meeting, after councilors and city staff had been bombarded with e-mails and phone calls from angry residents that were dissatisfied with the channel changes, the council passed a resolution requesting that Mediacom reinstate WCCO-4, KSTP-5, and WLAX-25. The resolution argued that the loss of these channels cut connections with Minneapo-

lis, St. Paul, and reduced connections with La Crosse. Grassley noted that about 40 percent of Chatfield households subscribe to Mediacom. Grassley insisted that legal technicalities were involved and that the changes have been in the plans for a couple of years. Mediacom decided to do the channel realignment all at once in mid June. He suggested that the city may not be where it should be technologically. Grassley went into some detail about how things have changed since the 1950s when geographic lines were drawn at the recommendation of the Nielsen ratings. Each town used to have its own head end, where the signal originated. The company is currently working on more fiber and extended networks to See CHATFIELD Page 2 

Spring Valley makes an offer for ambulance director By Gary Peterson gpeterson@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The Spring Valley City Council is in the process of hiring a new ambulance director. Since Jim Cooper announced in April that he was going to retire on August 15 the council has been working on finding a replacement. After the advertising phase for the post, interviews were held and eventually making an offer to one of the candidates. At the council meeting on Monday night Todd Jones announced that they had five applicants and interviewed two of them. He stated that

City Administrator Deb Zimmer reported that after four months of searching for an ambulance director the process will start over or the council will come up with some temporary solution. The council might need to look at other services, such as Gold Cross Ambulance during the interment.

improve band width. Since 2007 the company has had to pay more for retransmission consent fees when service went to digital from analog. Grassley maintained these retransmission fees for video are really killing us. During analog transmission, the rules were you could get any channel you could pull in with an antenna. He claimed they couldn’t legally provide channels like WCCO today unless the broadcaster filed an affidavit with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that proves a channel is significantly viewed. Councilor Mike Urban asked directly if they cannot legally provide these channels. Grassley said they can’t. Mayor Russ Smith said he had no idea if a competitor would come, recognizing that a competitor would have to want to come, adding Mediacom is

what we have. Grassley said we all have to follow the same rules and conform to federal law. Councilor Ken Jacobson said he subscribes to Mediacom and will continue to, but felt his quality of television is poorer than 5 to 7 years ago. He remarked that he has been on the council for 10 years and no issue has caused people to call him more. Grassley replied, “Under today’s condition, we did what the law requires.” Councilor Robert Pederson complained that Mediacom doesn’t come to construction meetings. He said the bombshell was dropped on June 17 and he felt the company didn’t let people know what was coming, adding Mediacom has not been a good company. Grassley listed many new channels that have become available. Jacobson said that subscribers have to have a cable box to get those new channels. Smith told Grassley that he hoped you have a feeling of the dissatisfaction

toward Mediacom. Jacobson said later after Grassley had left that we really don’t, as a city, have much to say about this service. We have a franchise agreement with Mediacom. If some other company were to come in, we would have to do it legally. Urban said he felt they have to respond to citizen complaints about Mediacom. Smith suggested they at least take a look and see if a competitor is a possibility. Other Business In Brief •A WSB and Associates drainage proposal was considered for a “drainage study associated with the drainage swale and existing private pond located between Margaret St. NE and James St. NE in the Meyers and TerMar Subdivisions.” Property owners at the end of James and Margaret Streets requested the study. The proposal was accepted as submitted with a cost not to exceed $4,260. Tony Lammers noted that several backyards are getting wet and they have had to work in the area a number of times. •An agreement with the Conservation Corps Minnesota was approved for 3 to 4 days of work to clean out ditches on Main St. at a cost of $1,050 per day for a 5-man crew. The work was requested by Knutson’s. •Pederson said the Brass Band deserves a big Thank-you for Thursday concerts in the park.

C ommentary Bullying in politics By Stan Gudmundson There has been a huge fuss about bullying in schools but people seldom are concerned about other menacing bullies. Bullying is a tactic often used by people holding “certain” political views. Though liberals tell us they are in favor of democracy what they really mean is that they are for voter’s decisions if the answer is correct. For example, let us imagine that votCol. Stan ers had the Gudmundson temerity to vote to define marriage as the union of a man and woman only. But that is the wrong answer for some. They then do anything they can to change or make illegal what the citizens choose to do or define for themselves. Off the perpetually-outraged run to the nearest friendly (e.g. in California, to an activist homosexual) judge

who will decide that the citizens voted for something “unconstitutional”. That is, the voters provided the “wrong” answer. Who has given judges the authority to overrule the decision of the people? What’s sacrosanct here? A democratic decision or an abstract loyalty to a concept that preempts the decision of the people in favor of a decision by a single biased judge? Or five biased judges sitting on the Supreme Court? But the bullying doesn’t end here. The case of Rushford-Peterson and the school and school board’s efforts to build a new school is another example of bullies at work. Since I returned to the area in 2000 the citizens of the district have overwhelmingly voted down two new school referendums. But to the “powers that be” here, voters gave the wrong answer. And so they are trying for a third time. The first time a new school was voted down, opponents thought that the superintendent and his followers would get the message. The second time, we thought

surely this time they would understand. We could even excuse them and allow an “A” for effort. But when they push this around for the third time that goes above and beyond reason. It is motivated by vanity and hubris and, is, in short, just flat bullying. They push and push and hope opponents give up. They don’t seem to understand that many of us, even those who didn’t graduate from Rushford, really do like and appreciate the old school buildings. In England there is the little timber-framed village called Lavenham. Its buildings go back to the 14th and 15th centuries. The vast majority don’t have single straight wall, window, doorframe, or roof. A song was even written about it. I don’t remember the title but it is about a crooked little man who had a crooked little dog who lived in a crooked little town in a crooked little house on a crooked little street. Lavenham is quaint, it is beautiful, and those crooked old buildings work just fine. Just as the current Rushford School buildings do or should. As always I will be accused of not caring for the children. That’s not true. Were the Rushford-

Guest Commentary: Keeping Houston County citizens informed and involved By Justin Zmyewski Houston Commissioner District #2 “The Big Picture in the Short Term” when looking at the construction of a new Houston County Highway Shop should have the following facts Justin Zmyewski considered: FACT: Houston County had

a 3.52 percent ($385,000) tax increase in 2014. More than double the State average. FACT: If the county board follows its past 10-year history and grants employee salary increases coupled with the increase in health insurance benefits this would mean a projected 3.11 percent ($328,000) tax increase in 2015 to balance the budget. In 2016 it would mean a projected tax increase of 3.73 percent ($417,000) to make the budget

balance. FACT: The above mentioned “FACTS” equate to a projected $1.13 million tax increase for Houston County tax payers over the three year period from 2014 – 2016 and that’s if the county doesn’t spend a penny over budget. FACT: If the county board were to go to the tax payers to fund a new county highway shop taxes would rise 1 percent over the next 10 years for every 1

Response to “Ashamed of America’s citizens”... To the Editor, I would like to respond to the letter “Ashamed of America’s citizens” from Tom Frederick. I have heard a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, each claiming bizarre and unfounded scenarios that just do not add up. The sources that Tom listed in his letter have all been thoroughly debunked by facts, eyewitness testimony and an indepth report by Popular Mechanics. Human nature only lends us to believe that such heinous acts of terror require an explanation that is as complex and intricate as the catastrophic outcome. On a gorgeous Tuesday morning a mile from the Pentagon, while I was in the Army stationed at Fort Myer, Va., I was with my Honor Guard unit doing our routine drills and training. The date was September 11, 2001 and we had just heard a large explosion. Our unit reacted quickly to the Pentagon

being attacked. First by rescuing anyone inside and helping the Arlington Fire Department put out the flames and later by meticulously going through the rubble to find the victims’ remains. I can assure you that the huge steel engines from the plane right inside the outer wall and dinner plate sized aluminum plane fragments scattered throughout the inside gave a clear indication of what hit the Pentagon. That and the stories that Army buddies of mine can tell you of a giant plane flying right over their heads and disappearing into the Pentagon in a massive fireball as they performed funerals right across the interstate in Arlington National Cemetery. Under very dangerous conditions we separated the remnants of luggage, building debris and plane wreckage from the human remains we found and would stop and salute each and every time a flag draped stretcher would carry out even the smallest fragment of remains. The only citizens that should be ashamed are the ones who speak

of 9/11 within the same circles of those who believe we didn’t land on the moon and that Elvis is still alive. So let’s give the victims of this terrorist attack and the heroes of that day and everyone who fought and continue to fight against terror both at home and abroad the dignity they deserve by not associating 9/11 with any “conspiracy.” Carey Welder Chatfield, MN

Peterson District to decide that its graduate’s knowledge and test scores would be competitive with say, the scores of the students from the top five countries in the world, I’d be happy to support a new school. That is if the district were to first demonstrate that they would do it. But this isn’t about education. It is about a very, very expensive cotton-pickin’ building for goodness sake. Recently, an area attorney (not from Rushford) and I were commiserating about the cost of doing business in small towns. Having experience working with small communities he finds that most small towns face similar problems. Moreover, their response to financing projects is similar. That is, city councils and mayors do as much as they can to limit financial burdens for the citizens themselves and instead, push off increased costs to city commercial enterprises. They seem to erroneously assume that businesses and farmers will be able to easily absorb added costs. Moreover, tax burdens for businesses and farms are disproportionally large. An expensive new building project will, of course,

exacerbate that. And will also require increased individual taxes in an area that is not hugely prosperous. I’ve pointed this out before, but it’s worth doing again. I pay less for natural gas, electricity, and garbage collection in California than I do in Rushford. And of all things, less for sewer and water. That is bad enough in and of itself but it gets worse. Twenty-nine percent of last year’s gross income on our California rental property went to fixed costs and taxes. On our Rushford rental property we paid 48 percent of our gross income on fixed costs and taxes. Finally, Minnesota real estate taxes are more than double those of California for property of equivalent value. Without even considering the huge differential between California’s much lower heating and cooling coasts and that of Minnesota, it’s already much more expensive to live in Rushford then it should be. Small town school boards and city councils in Minnesota need an awakening call. You are to serve us. We are not here to serve you. Quit bullying us.

million dollars spent, this would be in addition to the above mentioned projected tax increases. FACT: A county highway shop can be built without using new tax dollars. Keep in mind that the Highway Department takes in about $196,000 a year from the Wheelage Tax that was implemented in 2013 and has over $600,000 that has been in reserve for this project. FACT: An adequate and efficient county highway shop of quality can be built without new

tax dollars it just can’t be built at the grand scale in which it is being proposed.

C ommentary One Moment, Please... By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal Cell: 507-251-5297 jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com We’ve seen quite a bit of controversy revolving around some of our locally elected officials. Recently, in the past few months, we’ve seen a mayor get voted out of office by a city council exer- Jason Sethre cising a collective vote of no confidence. This decision has drawn an onslaught of online comments coming from all different perspectives. Our newspaper bears no support for either side of this particular issue, but merely a forum for the issue at hand. And, these circumstances underscore the challenges facing

all of our communities. Some people may not appreciate how I call it like it is, but I don’t beat around the bush. I call it like it is. In the Kingsland School District and the Rushford-Peterson School District, we have monumental conversations regarding facility considerations. But, at the end of the day, those who attend regular meetings and vocalize their concerns will have an impact. If you are uninvolved, don’t expect your opinion to be heard. Regardless of city council, school board, or county board meetings, all decisions are significant. With any election, those who are elected are duly privileged and burdened with the responsibility of serving the best interest of all of their constituents. Do you know how hard it is to make everyone happy all the time? And, here in lies the challenge.

There are a lot of Mondaymorning-quarterbacks; backseat drivers. There are a lot of naysayers who complain about decisions that are made at meetings. Often times, they don’t attend meetings. They just read about the results in the next issue of the Fillmore County Journal, and then gossip about it down at the local coffee shop. The majority of elected officials are not serving the public for a source of income. They are paid peanuts compared to the time they could be investing elsewhere. They are usually signing up for this job because no one else will step forward to serve the best interest of the public. There are many elections in which candidates run for re-election completely unopposed. That’s because nobody wants their job. In some cases, becoming the mayor of any of our small towns is like a life sentence. But, all of these elected officials do their best to serve the public. We may be critical of them, at times, which is understandable. However, if you feel they are not leading you down the right path,

Voting... To the Editor, Like most in my generation, I am reluctant to engage myself in the political process. In this era of big money interests and emotionally-charged rhetoric,

it’s incredibly difficult to find a candidate that I can actually trust as a person. This August, however, I will be voting for the first time in my life - for Jim Abeler. If we cannot get past the political games and address the problems that threaten our nation, I am afraid that I do not have much hope for our future. The U.S. Senate seat up for grabs in the 2014 election is an important opportunity to send someone who can bring people TOGETHER, and actually work to solve problems. After getting to know Jim Abeler personally, I am convinced that he needs to be our

choice. I know of nobody else who can respect and connect with others who are different quite like Jim can. A prime example is when he was able to work with Governor Dayton to secure the largest tax cut in the history of Minnesota, despite fundamental disagreements on countless other issues. This willingness to respect people as human beings is what is missing in Washington. Please help make a real difference and vote for Abeler in the Republican primary on August 12.

73-year-old Knutson as a “gogetter” and Melanie added “he is amazing” while Kermit describes himself as “a seasonal, a worker, and a loafer” with a chuckle. With 217 sites which include seasonal, weekenders, and tent sites there is no shortage of work to be done. Then take into account 75 acres of property that needs to be maintained and you will get an idea of just how much manual labor is needed to keep the campground looking as beautiful and well-maintained as it is. The campground also offers group sites which have been used for Boy Scout camping trips and large family gatherings. If camping is not your style there is a five unit motel on site located in a convenient spot within walking distance of other activities within the campground. Melanie said, “We take a lot of pride in having clean bathrooms for campers and having a clean motel,” which is of great importance to those staying there whether for a night or a week.

The campground is large enough that there are neighborhoods called South Park and North Park on each end of the property with plenty of space in between. Although large in size the campground feels cozy and warm thanks to the seasonal campers who organize several activities throughout the camping season that make even first time visitors feel like they are at home. One activity that brought a lot of excitement to the campground was the Golf Cart Parade on July 4, 2014 with campers decorating their golf carts and bicycles and dressing in costume. Kermit Knutson, the Grand Marshal of the Golf Cart Parade, dressed in red, white, and blue with his golf cart decorated in matching colors. The evening ended with Eagle Cliff’s own professional fireworks display thanks to the Tippery family who put on a fantastic show for everyone at the campground. Another fun event held recently at Eagle Cliff Campground and Lodging was a 50’s dance complete with a DJ and the women in poodle skirts. Upcoming events include Christmas in

ing t-shirt as a souvenir. There are many useful and fun items in the store including toiletries, paper plates, condiments, and much more. There are also items in the store for kids such as glow necklaces, bracelets, and even glow masks. The Ritters also keep the yard game “mega 4 in line” in the store for families to borrow and Melanie said the game has been very popular. Although Melanie said everything was pretty well in place when the couple bought the campground there are a few improvements they would like to do including updating an existing building for use with large events such as graduations and weddings and additionally want to start catering to young kids more by upgrading playground equipment, Dan said. Dan and Melanie have had different family members who have come to help out during the busy weekends which they are grateful for. The Ritters have four children including Kurt, 26, Lani, 22, who is married to Chris Viljoen, Justin, 18, and Joe, 15. The couple lives in a house within the campground. The Ritters state that with

campers coming from all over the world and the seasonal campers they have met many new friends and added that there are so many nice people here. One camper from California stayed two weeks and put almost 200 miles on his bike telling Dan that he has been on a lot of bike trails in the United States and the world and “you’ve got one of the best places right here.” Even though they were unsure of what the Ritters’ plans for the campground were, the seasonal campers really welcomed the Ritters, recalled Melanie. Eagle Cliff Campground and Lodging is open from April 1 October 15 each year although there are thoughts of possibly having the motel open for hunters and snowmobilers beyond October 15. For now the Ritters are concentrating on the camping season and helping everyone to enjoy their vacations. Eagle Cliff Campground is located at 35455 State Highway 16, Lanesboro, Minn. The phone number is (507) 467-2598. The website is www.eagle-cliff.com. To view additional photos of Eagle Cliff Campground visit the Facebook page of the Fillmore County Journal.

their families how to cook simple, healthy, and delicious snacks with seasonal ingredients. Other USDA officials will be at other farmers market locations across the country throughout the week. Thousands of farmers markets across the country offer consumers fresh, affordable, convenient, and healthful products sold directly from the farm. They also offer additional market opportunities for local producers, especially smaller or newer operations. Farmers markets increasingly offer electronic benefits transfer technology that can be used by recipients of USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - as well as low-income women, infants, and children and seniors participating

in the WIC and Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Programs - to get fresh, seasonal ingredients. Farmers market development is a cornerstone of the USDA’s Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food Initiative, which coordinates the Department’s policy, resources, and outreach efforts related to local and regional food systems. Secretary Vilsack has identified strengthening local food systems as one of the four pillars of USDA’s commitment to rural economic development, along with production agriculture (including expanding export markets and improving research), promoting conservation and outdoor recreation opportunities, and growing the biobased economy.

The American Red Cross calls on eligible donors with all blood types ST. PAUL, Minn. — The American Red Cross encourages all eligible blood donors to make an appointment to donate blood soon to help prevent a shortage. During the summer months, on average, about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what is needed to meet the needs of patients. Vacations and summer activities are among the reasons regular donors may not find the time to give. But, patients don’t get a vacation from needing blood – the need is constant.

As a national network, the Red Cross has a unique responsibility to help ensure blood is available for patients whenever and wherever it is needed. By donating blood or platelets through the Red Cross, donors may be helping patients in their community or patients across the nation. Red blood cells have a shelf life of only 42 days and platelets just five days, so they must constantly be replenished. To learn more and make an appointment to donate blood,

visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS. Upcoming blood donation opportunities FILLMORE: Aug. 13 from 1-7 p.m. at United Methodist Church, 124 E. Winona St. in Chatfield, Minn. How to donate blood Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable sup-

ply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. About the American Red Cross The American Red Cross shel-

ters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-forprofit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Minnesota’s minimum-wage increases Aug. 1, first time in nearly a decade Minnesota’s minimum-wage rates rise up to $8 an hour beginning Aug. 1, 2014. It’s the state’s first wage increase in nearly a decade. In the coming two years, the new law will move wage rates higher in August 2015 and again in August 2016 when the top rate goes to $9.50 an hour. In January 2018, the rate will be indexed to inflation based on economic conditions. “Minnesotans who work fulltime should be able to earn enough money to lift their families out of poverty and achieve the American Dream,” said Gov. Mark Dayton. “Raising the minimum wage will improve the lives of more than 325,000 hard-working Minnesotans. I thank the Legislature for recognizing the need to make

work pay in Minnesota.” “This is good news for Minnesota’s lowest-wage workers and will help them earn more to provide for their families,” said Ken Peterson, commissioner, Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI). To help employers understand the new requirements, DLI has created two new, easy-to-understand fact sheets; both are available at www.dli.mn.gov/MinWage. As of Aug. 1, 2014 •Large employers must pay at least $8 an hour when the employer’s annual gross revenues are $500,000 or more. •Small employers must pay at least $6.50 an hour when the employer’s annual gross revenues are less than $500,000. •The training wage rate, $6.50

an hour, may be paid to employees younger than 20 years of age for the first 90 consecutive days of employment. •The youth wage rate, at least $6.50 an hour, may be paid to employees younger than 18 years of age who are not covered under federal law. Other minimum-wage laws •Minimum-wage rates apply to all hours worked, whether part time or full time. •Employees must be paid at least the minimum-wage rate, no matter how they are paid. •No employer may take a tip credit against wages in Minnesota. •Examples of workers exempt from minimum-wage requirements include: bona fide executive, administrative or professional workers; babysitters; and volun-

and real. Like our town, our authors are special. For a small town in the valley of the Root River, Lanesboro has produced and attracted a great many authors. If you stop by the Lanesboro Museum you will find a collection of locally authored books. You may know some of the authors represented, recall others and even meet some recent additions. What is certain is that you will find stories to inform,

entertain and educate. You also will likely find some that bring a tear to the eye and a smile to the face. One of the most prolific of our town’s authors was Cecil Ward. This 20th century chronicler of Lanesboro life wrote for the Lanesboro Leader and was a projectionist at the State Theater, the only female projectionist in Minnesota and one of three in the country at the time. She played piano for silent pictures, was an advocate for animal rights before it was fashionable and found time to write 16 novels, all preserved at the museum along with her newspaper

articles and columns. William (Bill) Connelly recalls his boyhood in rural Lanesboro in Meandering of an Aging Soul. Connelly captures the whimsical details and the deep values, as well as the dark realities of life in Lanesboro during that period. Connelly also authored Minnesota American Indians. Alice Bergey was a children’s author and an inspiration to all who knew her. A quadriplegic due to polio in her freshman year at Lanesboro High School, Bergey typed out eight Bible stories and a story about a

The Sweaty Gypsy of Peterson Have you ever heard of a sweaty gypsy? Me neither. Not until I visited Burdeys Cafe in Peterson, Minn.

Monday, August 4, 2014

By Jason Sethre

As I scanned the menu, I arrived at a section titled “Fancy Pants Gourmet Burgers,” and the first one on the list was The Sweaty Gypsy.

Photo submitted by Tricia Parrish The Lewiston-Altura 13A Baseball team, which has combined forces of Lewiston-Altura, St. Charles, Chatfield, Dover-Eyota and Rushford-Peterson went 7-0 to win the 2014 MBT State Title on July 20th.

The description said: “Kick your temperature up a notch with this delicious burger, stuffed with jalapenos and creme cheese and topped with pepper jack.” Well, I was sold. While waiting for our orders, I conversed with Journal employee Peggi Redalen regarding the continuous collaboration of the Rushford-Peterson Valley Chamber of Commerce and how the recent branding initiative has brought the communities together in many ways. During our conversation, I looked around the restaurant with tables full of patrons from front to back. This was a hopping place at lunch time in Peterson. And then the Sweaty Gypsy arrived. First, I have to say the bun alone was impressive. This wasn’t your standard hamburger bun. This was a gourmet experience. And, let me tell you that they use REAL jalapenos aged to ultimate spiciness. I like spicy food, and this one was a ticking time-bomb of explosive flavor -far exceeding my expectations on the hot and spicy chart. My compliments to the chef, his wife, and their staff. While Burdeys Cafe may seem like a small town cafe to some people, it is more than that. They are serving up an authentic, class act dining experience sure to please locals as well as tourists. Obviously, Burdeys Cafe owners, Steve and Kristin Burdey, know what they are doing. This

is a great new restaurant for our area. And, if you get a chance to check out their website, www. burdeyscafe.com, you’ll find their entire menu along with “The Bur-

dey Story” written by Kristin Burdey. It’s a great read, and it really gives you a sense of what can be accomplished if you follow your dreams.

Monday, August 4, 2014 starred Reese Witherspoon. It is the story of Elle Woods, the UCLA fashion merchandizing major who goes to Harvard Law School for the sole purpose of following the boyfriend who just dumped her because she was not “serious” enough to fit in with his life plans. At Harvard, Elle—as well as her classmates, professors, and that exboyfriend—find out that there’s much more to this girl than pitch-perfect fashion sense and great legs. It’s a story of personal discovery with an edgy, hilarious script, unforgettable music and great characters. And the cast of Wits’ End’s production has brought Legally Blonde to life with fabulous performances and great energy. “Kathy Johnson Keech directed the show,” said co-producer and cast member Emma Strand. “And Kathy’s signature professionalism, humor, imagination and attention to detail are all over this production.” Kathy Keech is, of course, a Chatfield girl who has brought her great talents as a performer and director to the Potter Auditorium stage for decades—most recently as director of Wits’ End’s very successful 2010 production, Footloose. “We are

extremely fortunate that Kathy agreed to return to Chatfield to direct this wonderful show,” said co-producer Strand. “Her knowledge of stagecraft is incomparable. She set the bar high for this young cast, and inspired by her, have they delivered!” The Legally Blonde cast is large, talented, and thrilled to be on the Potter stage. Gabrielle Hensrud is electric in the lead role; she seems to have been born to play the beautiful, vivacious, resourceful Elle Woods. Levi Cole is back on the Potter stage playing Warner, the boyfriend Elle followed to Harvard. Matt Dietz is Emmett, the young lawyer who befriends Elle and spots her potential. And in the role that just might

Page 13

steal the show, Theresa Johnson Becker plays Elle’s friend, confidant and hairdresser, Paulette. “This isn’t your grandmother’s summer musical,” said coproducer Whitcomb. “The humor is contemporary. The music rocks. The energy is off the charts. It’s the story of a wonderful young woman finding her potential and inspiring the people around her.” Don’t miss Legally Blonde The Musical at Potter Auditorium in Chatfield this week. Tickets are available online or at the box office 4-6 p.m. weekdays and 10-noon weekends, or at the door one hour before show time.

Melvin John Harrington Melvin John Harrington passed away Tuesday, July 29 in Stewartville, Minn., after a life fully lived with family and friends, in church and in town, on the golf course and on the plains of South Dakota. Melvin John Mel was Harrington born October 10, 1928 in Cresbard, S.D. to Lawrence Lamar and Pansy Ethel (Connell) Harrington. He grew

up on the family farm with his siblings Gerald (Jerry), Maxine, Doris and their cousin Bernie Tomek. After graduating from Cresbard High School, Mel joined the S.D. National Guard and enlisted into the U.S. Army - Air Force in 1947. His basic training was in Lackland, Texas, where he was handpicked to play baseball for the US. After radar training at Keeslar Airbase in Mississippi, he served overseas in Wiesbaden, Germany, and was proud to be a part of the Berlin Airlift Squadron. After honorable discharge in 1950, he moved to Aberdeen, S.D. and began his first career with Northwestern Bell in the advertising department. It was during his training in Omaha, Neb., that he met the love of his life, Jean Winona Thoelcke. They were married in 1953 in Omaha, and Mel was transferred to Rapid City, N.D. as a sales engineer. All of their children were born in Rapid City: stillborn twins, Stewart and Porter, followed by Leslie, Christy and Blair. After a transfer to Mitchell, S.D., the Harrington’s moved to Stewartville in 1963. Mel owned and operated Harrington Real Estate and Appraisal in Stewartville for nearly 40 years, selling homes all over the southeastern part of the state.

Mel was an active member of Zion Lutheran Church where he served on the council, was a Sunday school superintendent and teacher. It was at Zion that Mel and Jean met so many of their life-long friends. Mel was a charter member of the Stewartville Lion’s Club and was awarded the Melvin Jones and Helen Keller Sight awards. He will be well remembered for his “permanent” position as Tail Twister. He was known for his jokes and shenanigans. Mel was very civicminded and volunteered to serve with numerous Stewartville boards and committees. A bell-ringer for Salvation Army, Mel knew how to fill the kettles. He loved to bowl, sponsored a team and once bowled a 4-7-9-10 split. A chronic, consummate golfer, Melvin made a hole-in-one, three-times over. His golfing buddies will miss him dearly. For decades, Mel went pheasant hunting in South Dakota, a legacy he shared with his son, Blair. Many people were the lucky recipients of poems written especially for them. A poem, “The One Room Schoolhouse” was read over the air on WCCO radio. Another interest of Dad’s was going to the stockcar races in Racine. Mel’s daughter, Christy, will always treasure Sunday mornings with her dad, listening to the radio, and playing with Henry, the spectacular grand

puppy. Mel’s family would like to thank the all of the angels who cared for Mel in the past year and a half, especially his buddies at the Stewartville Care Center. We are also grateful to Anne, who tended to Dad in his last months of life. Those left to cherish his memory include Leslie, Blair (Sue), all of Rochester and Christy (aka Alexandra “Alley” Paisley) of Stewartville, and his sisters Maxine Bradbury and Doris Altringer. Funeral services for Mel were on Saturday (August 2, 2014) at Zion Lutheran Church in Stewartville with Rev. Byron Meline officiating. Burial with military graveside honors by the American Legion Post 164 followed at Woodlawn Cemetery in Stewartville. Jean passed away in November of 2012. They are at last reunited and dancing together upon some celestial floor.

socialscenes

A little of this, A little of that. By Kathy Little “Build it and they will come” is an old saying. I say build a fence and people will wonder what is behind it just like in the “Wizard of Oz” when Dorothy wondered what was behind the curtain during an audience with the great wizard. My husband built a tall wooden fence around our front yard. It helped soften the noise from the street and provided privacy. It also provoked a great deal of curiosity. Then he built a half-timbered tudor styled gazebo complete with floor and shingled roof topped with a cupola. After he screened it in, it became a great outdoor entertaining area. Later, the birds started a grapevine that quickly covered much of the fence. He then placed some of his handcrafted pottery gnomes on top of the fence. Since no one could see through the fence (there was only one large knot hole), but could see the tree tops, the lilac bush tops, and the gazebo cupola rising above the fence; curiosity grew. Rumors about “a secret garden” were fueled by this curiosity. One neighbor complained that he couldn’t see what we were doing in our yard! Eventually the police were involved. One evening about sunset I looked out my kitchen window and saw a highway patrolman wandering in our yard. Curiosity overcame me and I went out to talk to him. It was a former neighbor who said every time he drove by our house, he wondered what was behind our fence. Curi-

osity overcame his manners and he decided to find out. He apologized; I was flattered. We both had a good laugh! Later, the day after Halloween, we noticed one of our bigger gnomes had been stolen. Just as we were grieving the loss, the town cop drove into our driveway with a passenger in his front seat. It was the missing gnome. Someone had kidnapped him and set him outside the liquor store as a prank. Since he was not damaged and we didn’t have to pay a ransom, all was well. My husband then glued the gnomes to the fence. Little did we realize that this was not the last adventure our fence would provide! This year the Bluff Country Master Gardeners asked if our yard could be a part of their annual tour to raise money for Bluff Country Family Resources. I was flattered; my husband had reservations. We were reassured that this was not a competition, but simply a way for gardeners to exchange ideas. We agreed it was for a good cause. Later we received the brochure describing the gardens on the tour. Many had water features, some had several acres dedicated to flowers and shrubs, and one was even a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat with over 1,000 hostas of 120 varieties. Good cause or

not, PANIC ensued. Just to make our yard worthy we had much to do. Garden boot camp became a way of life for us: planting new beds, weeding, watering, buying an antique butterfly bench. We needed to “stage” our garden just like folks do on HGTV to sell a home except we were at the mercy of Mother Nature. Heat, humidity, and sore muscles did not make us happy, happy, happy! My husband blamed me, I apologized profusely, and by the day of the tour we were hardly speaking. The morning of the tour, my husband took a load of brush to the dump. A lovely Master Gardener came to show our garden in the morning so I could go tour other gardens. In the afternoon, I had to face the music alone and guide people through my own yard. My husband refused to come outside just in case there were snide remarks like: “How did this garden ever get on the tour?” During times of anxiety, I go on the offense. So if anyone made a disparaging remark about my garden, I would tell them to go quickly to another garden. Everyone was very polite and complimented me on the fence, gazebo, my husband’s art work, my large fairy rock garden, the peonies, and the ferns. They even laughed as I pointed out our only “water feature” our garden hose. Gardeners really are “the salt of the Earth.” Later Jim and I celebrated in the gazebo with mint juleps in silver cups. We had sampled them in Savannah on vacation and purchased the cups there. This recipe is from my sister-in-law, Regan. Now I know why she was always growing mint!

Mint Julep

Makes 6 servings 2 cups sugar 1 cup water plus 12 oz. water reserved 8 mint sprigs for boiling and 5 sprigs for garnish 3 cups good bourbon crushed ice Dissolve the sugar in 1 cup water in a sauce pan, and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to medium- low and add 8 mint sprigs. Stir until the leaves are soaked and limp. Simmer for 10 minutes uncovered. Remove from heat, cool and strain. When the mixture has cooled, add the bourbon and the reserved water. Mix well. Fill 6 (16 oz.) glasses with crushed ice. Pour the mixture over the ice and garnish with mint sprig. If you grow your own mint, beware. It does not play well with others, and like other bullies; it tramples over other herbs!

Rushford considers managed hunting within city limits By Kirsten Zoellner The issue of deer population control in Rushford has once again been brought to the forefront of council discussions. The council had reviewed options in 2012 and 2013 due to the damage inflicted on vegetation and hazards to traffic. In 2013, the council voted to enact an ordinance making the feeding of deer within city limits a misdemeanor offense. At that time, it was noted that if feeding prohibition didn’t have the desired effects, further actions to allow limited bow hunting would be considered. At the Monday, July 28 meeting, a lengthy discussion between the council, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Conservation Officer Mitch Boyum, and City of Rushford Police Chief Adam Eide reviewed possible options and potential problems. Focusing mainly on the process of who gets to hunt, how it’s managed, where hunting areas would be, and what would be allow, three options were presented to the council. The first option is to allow bow

hunting within the city during the normal season. With this option, several current ordinances would have to be adjusted. The city would have the authority to specify which locations and during what days within that normal season. The ability to have a limited number of hunters, perhaps through lottery draw was also discussed. With this option, hunters would have to take an additional proficiency test, likely in Rochester at an archery facility, before being allowed to hunt within the city. It was noted the extra requirement is a selling point to the public and can also weed out hunters that aren’t serious. Boyum stated his main concern with this option is the limited number of hunters he believes would take part and the limited effect it would have on the population. State-defined hunting areas are currently divided by Highway 43, with the west area, which includes Magelssen’s Bluff, allowed only one deer per season. The eastern area, which includes Rushford’s east bluff and state forest land,

allows up to five deer. The taking of bucks within the city would not be allowed. “I don’t see a bunch of hunters signing up to burn a tag on a doe,” noted Boyum. The second option would allow for a special season. Looking at the current special hunt in Red Wing for reference, the council considered the option of a limited time hunt with guidelines in addition to state hunting statutes. This option is complex and Boyum believes that the size of what Rushford can offer as hunting area is too small to bring in hunters for a special season. The last option is to allow a shooting permit for certain individuals, such as those for hire. This option is the most intensive for the city and would require aerial surveys and a management study. Any hunting within the city opens the door to potential problems, as noted by Boyum and Eide. Retrieval of a shot deer on private property is considered “recreational trespass,” according to Boyum, and is legal unless the parcel is posted, on all corners and both sides any driveway, or if the land owner demands they leave the property. Shooting bucks isn’t allowed and would be subject to financial penalty, but there is no way to enforce the ordinance without the use of the city attorney and several on the council noted the desire not to have the city’s police force be tasked with extra work patrolling a hunt. There is also potential problems with damage to city property from deer stands, which would have to be limited in type, as well as property rights violations with trespassing across

borders of city and private lands, and merging recreational trail and park areas with hunting areas. “I don’t disagree that deer are doing damage, but the issues that we’re facing [with a potential hunt] are a lot more severe,” noted Councilor Vern Bunke. “If we’re going to do it, I want it extremely controlled,” added Mayor Chris Hallum. The city will continue to work with the DNR and researching the options, then draft up a plan for a potential hunt. The draft will be reviewed by the council. In other news, the city is moving forward with projects at the Rushford Municipal Airport. A bid from J&L Steel & Electrical Services in the amount of $235,057 was approved to upgrade runway lighting with new LED lighting, an LED wind cone, and installation of PAPI lighting, an end-ofrunway marker system which aids pilots in airport approach. The bid was 12 percent above engineer’s estimates. The council also approved $42,310 bid by American Pavement Solutions, of Green Bay, Wis. for the crack sealing of the

Page 21

runway. The bid was nearly 22 percent above the engineer’s estimate. Both projects are contingent of the availability of federal funding. It is expected that cost sharing will be defined 90 percent federal, five percent state, and five percent city funding for the two projects. The engineering firm of Mead & Hunt, involved it preparing the project, has noted the difference in estimate to bid cost due to the lateness in the season and the unforeseen lack of bidders for the project. A project relating to replacement of the airport fuel system is on hold due to the limited amount of funding available. It will be reevaluated in the spring of 2015. The fuel system is currently functional, but subject to clogging and occasional stopping due to sediment through filters. The city is confident that the quality of fuel is good, but the hassle may be a problem for pilots. Airport Director Mike Thern has noted that a reputation of fueling issues may cause pilots to discontinue stops at the Rushford airport. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, August 11, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

Good-bye fair, it was great By Barb Jeffers As the 2014 Fillmore County Fair continued last week the size of the crowd seemed to grow each day in anticipation of the exciting events that occurred later in the schedule of the Fillmore County Fair in Preston. The 4-H activities continued on Wednesday with the Swine Show beginning early in the morning followed by the Horse Trail & Game Show, Open Class Judging, the Sheep Show and a Hands on Activity. Wednesday evening a crowd gathered in the grandstand for 4-H Night. The Live Auction once again this year had fantastic items donated which were auctioned by County Commissioner Marc Prestby. One of the most popular items auctioned off was an “ice cream bucket” donated by Kapper’s Big Red Barn which consisted of ice cream bowls, an ice cream scoop, and coupons for Kapper’s

ice cream. The ice cream bucket sold for $50. Pies always bring out the pocketbooks at the 4-H auction and this year was no different. All pies donated sold for a high price but the highest amount paid was for a choice of any pie at the 4-H Food Stand. Judy Frank, who paid $100 for the pie of her choosing, received a large round of applause for her support of 4-H. Everyone in the audience enjoyed the Fashion Revue with outfits being either constructed or purchased. Mara Schwartz was adorable as she and her doll modeled their matching dresses. Margaret Alexander, 19, and her niece Madeline Montoya, 5, also wore matching dresses having fun with their different poses. Many deserving people were recognized during the awards program. Tom Haugstad and Donna Sveen each received an Alumni Award for years of ded-

Page 23

ication to the 4-H program. Bruce and Cheri Struve were Hall of Fame inductees. Award sponsors were Richard & Teresa O’Connor of Mabel, Minn. and the First State Bank, Spring Valley, Minn. branch. LeeAnn Howard, 4-H Program Coordinator, also deserves recognition for the many hours of her time given in support of 4-H. The Band Hubba entertained near the Beer Barn Wednesday night to finish out a very busy day at the Fillmore County Fairgrounds while residents looked forward to more events on Thursday. Dairy, Rabbit, and Goat Shows by the 4-H were held Thursday morning with participants bringing their best foot (or hoof ) forward. Smiles abound as ribbons were awarded to proud owners of the animals. The Matt Hahn Memorial Scholarship Arm Wrestling Contest had the Beer Barn packed full with overflow seating outSee FAIR Page 26 

side the building. Both men and women elbowed up to the table trying to overpower or out technique the opponent across from them. An exciting evening of bull riding awaited those who entered the grandstand on Thursday night to watch the cowboys try to hold on for those precious eight seconds. Clay Olson of Preston was one of the local cowboys riding in this year’s event. This was the second year Clay had ridden at the Fillmore County Fair. Tripwire kept everyone’s heart racing following bull riding by getting people up and dancing to their music at the Beer Barn to mark the end of Thursday’s fair activities. Friday at the fair began with the 4-H Beef Show followed by a Llama Show in the afternoon. The Draft Horse Pull drew many to the grandstand at 11 a.m. to watch the powerful and awesome horses at work. Kids worked their leg muscles in the Pedal Tractor Pull just before the start of the Triple B Rodeo in the grandstand. There was never a dull moment as attendees witnessed the talent involved in barrel racing, breakaway calf roping, bull riding, and mutton busting. Approximately 15 kids participated in mutton bustin, according to organizer “Moose” Hagedorn.

Monday, August 4, 2014

Skyler Check was very proud of his win in the mutton bustin contest. Troubleshooter entertained everyone in the Beer Barn Friday night following the rodeo with the band getting everyone on their feet dancing and singing along. A Buyers’ Breakfast started the day for many on Saturday while others had breakfast on the go due to a 5K Ribbon Run/Walk. 4-H families had a big day with the Market Livestock Auction and a Horse Fun Show. An Open Class All Breeds Dairy Show then took place with a Species Scramble ending the afternoon events. The pits also had people scrambling to do last minute repairs on their demolition cars Saturday night. Julie Hanson of Fountain, Minn. drove for her second year and her car was pushed up and onto a cement barricade where it stayed until her heat was over. Hanson comes from a demo family as brothers John and Jimmy and her father Terry are all demolition derby veterans and have the hardware to prove it. Driving in her first demolition derby was Kayla Koch, 24, and #24, of Preston. Koch said before the demo began that she hadn’t been able to sleep for the week and a half prior to the demo due to being both excited and nervous. The hood of Koch’s car had a painting of “Gingerlocks”

which Kayla explained was a picture of her with her brothers Kyle, Korby, and Kasey and since they all have red hair she felt Gingerlocks was more fitting than Goldilocks. Her brother Kyle is in the Marines, stationed in California, and Kayla stated “I am bummed he can’t be here” but knew he was supporting her from thousands of miles away. Kayla did well for her first demo and said she could not have done it without her mechanics and pit crew consisting of Dustin, Philip, Travis, and Ricky Holland and Cory Draper. The 2014 Fillmore County Fair wound down as Lost Faculties got the crowd wound up in the Beer Barn on Saturday evening. The 155th year of the fair left great memories for both kids and adults who look forward to OPen SeVen DAYS A WeeK 9am-6pm
