After a few weeks of being closed for remodeling, JAC’s Bar & Grill in Chatfield, Minn., will soon be opening with new owners behind the tap and in the kitchen. Jamie and Robin Arthur of Rochester, Minn., purchased the business on July 10, 2017, and have been busy making changes and improvements since. When asked why they bought the business, Robin stated, “He’s always talked about owning a restaurant,” adding that JAC’s was a nice

“package deal” with the bar included. Although Jamie has dreamed of opening a restaurant for a long time, the decision to buy JAC’s happened quickly. Jamie and a friend, who drive a RAGBRAI bus called “Return of the Robin,” stopped at JAC’s in late May with some of the RAGBRAI bicyclists and when Jamie learned that the business was for sale, he got excited to say the least. Jamie returned home and said, “Let’s buy a bar,” says Robin and they got the ball rolling to purchase the building and the business. Jamie is originally from
Hutchinson, Minn., and Robin from Litchfield, Minn. The couple moved their family to Rochester, Minn., in 1997 as Jamie had an employment opportunity in Rochester. The couple have three children including Brittany, 22, Austin, 20, and Carson, 14, who are just as excited as their parents about the family’s new business. There will be some changes at JAC’s but the name will remain the same. The new owners have created a new logo of their own for the business, however. See JAC’S Page 9

Rushford Village pays contractor amid remaining frustrations By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com
A sizeable 2016 road project in Rushford Village is finally at an end. City Engineer Josh Pope, of Bolton & Menk, was on hand at the Tuesday, August 1 council meeting to cover details of the final pay application to contractor McHugh Excavating, of La Crescent. Pope indicated follow-up punch list items are now completed and suggested a May meet-

Upon review, we found $6,679 did merit additional compensation.” The council approved the final pay application, in the See CONTRACTOR Page 11

forth working through the ‘what ifs’ and the plan blossomed. “With each, ‘what if,’ the excitement mounted. The coffeehouse was all we could talk about,” adds Kristen. In January, Kristen contacted a realtor requesting a look available buildings and sites suitable for their plans. By the second week of February, the options were narrowed to one possibility and the two worked intently creating a business plan showing a coffee shop would be a viable business. In early March, the ladies sat down with members of the Lanesboro Economic Development Authority and highlighted their 29-page plan. The EDA indicated the business would be a welcome and needed addition to the city. With any business, there are surprises. March 12, Kristen received word from longtime Lanesboro businessman Rick Lamon requesting a meeting. “He’d heard we’d been poking around town looking for a spot. After sitting with us and our plans, he said he had somewhere to show us,” she says. Lamon owns the former granary and feed mill at 100 Beacon Street West, which closed operation in 2014. A whiskey distillery had been planned for the location, but never opened. “I walked through the door of the old granary for the first time and in an instant know it was the spot.” An excited phone call to Kim and The Granary was on its way. “With every step of the way, from the ideas to the meeting with the realtor to the opportunity for the building, everything fell in to place and simply felt right,” says Kim. Once the space was nailed down, the two kept plugging away with research and anything needed to make it a reality. “We didn’t tell anyone at first. Slowly we pitched the idea to a few select people,” remembers Kristen. “After we had a lot of it in place, we told our family and friends, shocking most of them. They’ve all be extremely supportive though.” For those who’ve seen the space as it used to be, as a granary and feed mill, to say it was a blank slate is a massive understatement. With the previous distillery plans, the perfect foundation for a coffeehouse had been laid in the feed mill portion of the site. The open interior was cleaned out and the shell of a bar had been constructed. New plumbing and electrical was installed, equipment was purchased, and the interior began to

Photo by Kirsten Zoellner take on a comfortable, urban vibe without sacrificing its rural roots. “Every step of the way required critical thinking and an enormous amount of patience,” says Kristen. “The most challenging part was getting the Plan Review in order. It required a to-scale drawing of their proposed business from floor to ceiling including all equipment.” Making their way through the rigorous steps required by the state department of health and navigating through city and state licensure, was also a challenge and provided valuable business lessons. At one point, they installed a floor only to find it would not meet state requirements and were forced to tear it out. “We learned the hard way not to jump the gun,” she adds. “We had to submit our plans to the state and wait and wait and hope that what we sent in was what they were looking for. You are not allowed to do anything until the state approves your plans,” says Kim. Eventually, improvements were made to the entire site that still lead to a bit of shock and awe for those who remember it in earlier times. The ladies were intent, however, in keeping the original charm, including scales, old paperwork nailed to a wall, and more. The drive-through scale portion of the granary was transformed into semi-outdoor seating area. Kristen was able to draw on her Business Administration degree and both ladies have entrepreneurial and management experience, so the planning and operational end of the business came naturally to them. They credit the Small Business Development Center in Rochester as an amazing resource that helped them with business projections. Still, there were plenty of outside experiences and learning that also came with starting a new business venture. “We asked a lot of questions of people in the business. Don’t be afraid to ask questions even if you think they’re dumb questions. It’s

guaranteed that someone else has the same question and people are so willing to share information,” says Kim. “We went to many places to learn what we needed,” adds Kristen. They attended “coffee school” at Up Coffee Roasters, who is their bean and equipment provider. “We learned the art of pulling the perfect espresso shot.” The ladies also spent a full day at scooping school where they learned how ice cream was made, toured the plants, and worked in the retail shop before being able to carry Chocolate Shoppe ice cream. These trainings offered some of the most comical parts of the process, too. “The days we spent in the coffee lab were full of giggles as we steamed milk everywhere but in the proper place, poured espresso on our feet, and quickly learned not to swallow every shot they made. At one point, during an outburst of laughing, our patient instructor just looked at us and said, “Why, why, why. . .” “Learning to control my facial expressions when tasting wine was priceless, too,” jokes Kristen. Pulling up to Total Restaurant Supply in a 16-foot U-Haul also provided comic relief along the way. “Once there, I promptly handed them the keys when they asked me to back up to the loading door. I said, ‘No way am I backing that thing up,’” jokes Kristen. “It was pretty comical and very educational,” adds Kim. “We laugh at ourselves a lot. We don’t take a lot of things personally and roll with the punches. “Although the entire process fell together naturally and quite well, there were a few bumps in the road,” admits Kristen. When they plugged in one freezer it made a horrendous popping sound and started to smoke. When they plugged in their under-the-coun-

The two are most thankful to all of the help they received along the way. “Rick Lamon for the opportunity to lease the building; Scott Strom of PSI for not blinking an eye to bring over his hand jack and his forklift to help move a heavy safe; Jerome Halverson for doing all the construction, helping move equipment and for letting us use him as our coffee taster; Tony Semmen, Mike Willford of VIS Plumbing and Randy Haakenson of Haakenson Electric. Each of them went above and beyond their line of duty in helping move equipment, sharing their opinions to the endless questions we asked, and answering incessant question of ‘When will you be done?’” notes Kristen. “Kingsley Mercantile for sending Daniel over, who quickly got our blown up freezer running and honestly told us our fridge may be a lost cause; our mothers for planting the flowers, helping with food, and assisting where they could; all the people who helped us clean and get open including Henry, Margaret, Julia and Maggie; and finally Matt and Andrew for standing by our sides and jumping right in there when they realized we were moving forward with The Granary.” “I felt my dad’s presence carried me through the entire process,” adds Kristen, who lost her father, long-distance swimmer Vince Herring, on Valentine’s Day 2013. “I made my very first blended mocha just for him, and then drank it. Although charming, charismatic, brilliant and smart, we could not have done this alone.” “I would like to thank Kristen, too, for jumping in when I threw her a crazy idea. I am not from Lanesboro but I was blown away with the eagerness to help poured in when we needed it,” adds Kim. “This town has some amazing people in it! Against advice of many, they did not have a soft opening, but decided to jump right in and with a grand opening. With invitations going out to family and friends, Kristen and Kim planned to have a champagne toast halfway through the evening and

just get to work. Just two days prior to opening they received all required approvals and passed all inspections. “The grand opening was planned crossing our fingers in complete confidence – if that’s a thing,” notes Kristen. July 15 they opened their doors. It was standing room only for several hours. Champagne was poured and still more people flooded in. “The reaction has been so positive. Everyone loved the space and been so supportive. It’s been fun listening to stories from the locals that actually used the Granary as a granary not that long ago. We’ve already met some awesome people that visit Lanesboro. It’s been so much fun,” says Kim. “We were met with a lot of questions. Every question was carefully considered and mulled over, so not to miss any details – good or bad,” adds Kristen. Just weeks into operation and already The Granary has a class reunion booked, is sponsoring a women’s retreat at Eagle Bluff, and has book clubs gathering at their space for meetings. “Our space would be amazing for showers, gatherings and meetings,” says Kristen. “We’d like to add a fireplace and soft seating. There are many other ideas whirling in our heads that may be announced in the near future.” The Granary is open Thursday-Monday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Tuesday and Wednesday, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. They offer a variety of specialty coffees, healthy smoothies made from 100% fruit, protein smoothies, The Chocolate Shoppe ice cream, both regional and imported European red and white wines from the region, and beer featuring Toppling Goliath (Decorah) and Bent Paddle (Duluth). Cheese and cracker plates are also offered and desserts will be added this week. It’s been so rewarding getting up every day, going to “work,” swinging open the door, and being able to say, ‘This is ours, we did this, we created this, and we are going to make it.’ Being also to fully wake up my brain, stretch it and use it; to see the potential of what they have created and opened is very satisfying to say the least,” says Kristen. “Two independent women made a crazy idea come to life from the very beginning,” adds Kim. “We still say to each other almost every other day that it seems like a dream sometimes. It is a great feeling.”

C ommentary Good communication lies at the heart of our democracy By Lee Hamilton Do ordinary citizens still have a voice in Washington and in their state capitals? Despite the cynicism of these times, my answer is, yes, we do... But we have to exercise it. I don’t just mean going Lee H. to a town Hamilton hall meeting and yelling, or shooting off a letter or email. I mean making an appointment to sit down with your representative — in his or her office, at a cafe in the district, or wherever else you can meet — and holding a real conversation. We don’t do this often enough in our country, perhaps because most people think it’s impossible to arrange. It’s not, although it might take patience to get an appointment with a busy representative. And to my mind, it’s the most effective way for citizens to communicate with their representatives. This is important because the heart of a representative democracy does not lie in its electorate, or even its elected officials. It rests in the communication between them, in the give and take that allows each to understand the other. Over my years in office I noticed a few things about how to make this conversation more fruitful and effective, and, for what it’s worth, I pass them along. My guess is that in almost all cases, the representative will be Editorial Cartoon
gracious, attentive, and welcoming; he or she will see the meeting as a chance to reach out and perhaps win a constituent’s support. What makes the difference in these meetings is the manner in which the voter approaches them. So my first comment is that you want to keep the discussion respectful and polite. Incivility and confrontation are counter-productive. If you want to have an impact, do not be argumentative or confrontational. Explain how the issues affect you personally and make it clear that you’re seeking to establish ongoing communication, not just a “one and done” meeting. If your representative comes to respect you because of your approach and your knowledge, that’s an important step forward in expanding your influence. Because don’t forget that the reverse can also be true: You’ll make it easy to ignore you by behaving ungraciously. This next part may seem daunting, but it shouldn’t be: Do your homework. It goes without saying that you should identify yourself and whoever else is with you, let your representative know whom you’re representing — don’t exaggerate your numbers — and above all, make it very clear what you want him or her to do or not to do. And you’ll be far more effective if you’re wellinformed about the core facts on the issues and about the person you’re speaking to: his or her party, length of service, committees, interests, views,
ratings and priorities. Understand that legislators deal with many challenging relationships: voters, donors, constituents, interest groups, party officials, congressional or legislative leadership, governors and presidents, and an array of others. So, listen carefully and ask a lot of questions, and get clarity about where your representative stands on your issues and why. Test his or her knowledge of the issues, and the depth of commitment to the views he or she takes. Be firm in insisting on direct answers, but don’t be adamant or unreasonable. If you want to, record the session, but be sure to advise the representative you are doing so. In short, having a productive conversation with elected representatives comes down to being informed, remaining courteous, being curious and open to dialogue yourself, and stating your views and understanding of the issues as clearly as possible. If you engage in this fashion with your representatives on a regular basis, I think you’ll have reason to be satisfied that you’re stepping up to your responsibilities and raising your effectiveness as a citizen. And if conversations of this quality are multiplied across the country, it really will improve the quality of our representative democracy and contribute to the direction and success of our country. Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar, IU School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice, IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Ancient loons haunt the lake Word comes to us in early June from family members visiting our extended-family cabin. A loon is nesting at Hammock Point! At our three-acre island, we often listen to the loons calling their hysterical laughing call or the haunting wail that sends shivers down your spine. The sleek black bird sparkled with white spots on its back swims and dives all day long. Some Fillmore County readers, living as we do in the only county in Minnesota without a natural lake, may have never encountered a loon. Its call is heard only on lottery ads. Yet it is the state bird, treasured by many. Loons are only seen on lakes. They spend their whole lives either swimming or flying, never stopping on land. There
are two reasons they must only land on larger water bodies. First, they cannot walk, because their strong swimming legs are attached improbably far back on their bodies. Second, to take flight they need enough water to flap frantically along the surface up to 300 yards, to get up enough speed to take off. Any touchdown on a smaller pond or ice would be certain death. After spending the summer on their home lake, loons migrate in autumn to oceans — either the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic shore. Once they hit the ocean, they stay afloat all winter, paddling around and diving deep to catch fish. Then come spring, the urge to migrate back to their home lake arises, and the long
Five Minute Artisan Bread
1 ½ T yeast 1 ½ T kosher salt 6 ½ c flour (unbleached is best, 1 to 2 cups can be whole wheat) Mix yeast and salt into 3 cups of 100 degree water. Dump in all the flour at once and mix until uniformly moist but do not knead. Dump the wet, loose dough into a five-quart ice cream bucket or similar plastic container. Place cover on top but do not seal. Let rise at room temperature 2-5 hours. Dough can be refrigerated up to 2 weeks, or use immediately. Flavor and texture improve with time. When ready to bake, sprinkle flour on dough and hands and cut off a grapefruit size piece with a serrated knife. Working for about 30 seconds, turn dough in hands, gently tucking surface under, rotating ball as you go, creating a rounded top and bunched bottom. Place dough on a cornmeal-sprinkled cookie sheet and let rest uncovered for 40 min. Place broiler pan on bottom rack of oven and baking stone (optional) on middle rack, and preheat to 450 degrees for at least 20 minutes. Dust loaf with flour and slash with a serrated knife. Slide dough onto baking stone. (Or bake on the cookie sheet if you don’t have a stone.) Pour 1 cup hot tap water into broiler pan and quickly close oven door to trap steam. Bake about 30 minutes, until well-browned and firm to touch. Cool completely on wire rack. This makes 4 round loaves, one at a time, at your convenience. Make round loaves, long loaves, cinnamon rolls, pizza crust, pita bread, or bread sticks.

flight home begins. Even more astonishing, the young birds stay in those coastal waters for three long years before they suddenly get the urge to return to their home lake. This miracle of life has well proven its effectiveness, as loons in their current form were thriving 35 million years ago, when dinosaurs walked the earth and mammals were just emerging. Back at the island, “our” loon lays two large tan eggs in a nest of reeds right on the shore. Only six inches above the water, the nest gives the sitting mama bird an instant escape to the water. The parents built that nest so it is hidden in the vegetation and protected from predators on land by a steep rocky cliff. We have some concern as the parent loons are being hounded by black flies covering their faces, and they seem to seek relief under water, only to be instantly covered the moment they emerge. A second wave of cabin visitors sadly sends back word that the nest is empty, and we grieve for the loon family. But as often happens, the loons try again when the flies are gone. We arrive in June to discover that one new egg has been laid! I look up the gestation time and write on the cabin calendar when to expect hatching. Six weeks later, we return around the expected due date, and are unsure how to interpret the now empty nest. Did the egg get eaten by a predator? Or did the parents take a newly hatched chick to a more hidden location? A few days later we are overjoyed when our daughter spies a loon with a little fluffy chick on its back. They made it! Every few days we see the parents calmly floating along, with the chick either riding atop a parent’s back or courageously bobbing alongside while being fed tiny minnows. They check on each other with little hoots. As we near the end of our island vacation, I hear a great ruckus of splashing and loon tremolos. We dash down to the shore, where two loons are moving apart, doing their best to scare something off. Then we see it. A bald eagle dives down, undoubtedly looking for a chick for lunch. Just then, a boat zooms up and the eagle soars away. These folks had observed the eagle harassing the loons before. We all hold our breath, along with the the two parent birds, searching for sight of the chick. One minute, two... then far off the chick bobs up from its dive! The parent loons zoom off to greet it, while we cheer the little family on. Our National Bird has to eat too, but allegiance this day is to our State Birds, who so persistently use their ancient skills and determination to launch the next generation.

District 6 includes 11 southeastern Minnesota counties. As part of MnDOT’s outreach, effort local government units are presented with an overview of the 10-year plan. Planned projects in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program will be done in the first four years (2018-2021) and have been funded. Projects planned for the out years (years 5-10) are part of the Capital Highway Investment Plan and have not yet been
funded. These out year projects can constantly change and not all of them will get funded. Both portions of the 10-year plan are updated annually. Allis conceded that they do not have a consistent funding stream making it difficult to keep a steady program. She noted that there are more bridges in District 6 than any other district. The four-year plan includes more funding for bridges than for pavement projects. In the out years more money is expected to be funneled to pavement projects. Allis said they don’t have enough dollars to keep up

Monday, August 7, 2017 with the needs on our roadways. Limited funding for pavement maintenance reduces the life of pavement. MnDOT hopes to learn through their outreach efforts what isn’t in the 10-year plan that maybe should be. This year MN 139 from the Iowa border to US 52 near Harmony will get a mill and overlay estimated to cost nearly $2 million. There will also be some culvert work on MN 30 costing about $500,000. Next year US 52 north of CSAH 22 to MN 16 (Harmony to just southeast of Preston) will get a mill and overlay estimated to cost $2.4 million. Also, mill and overlay and ADA improvements to MN 139 from the Iowa line to US 52 near Harmony are scheduled with an estimated cost of $1.9 million. All roads are to be completely ADA compliant by 2037. Courthouse security The newly formed Courthouse Security Committee requested the board move forward with a request for proposals for security equipment using $30,000 of a grant awarded by the Safe and Secure Courthouse Advisory Panel and the county match, a total of about $60,000. Equipment to be purchased includes cameras/monitors/key card access points and panic alarms. Sheriff Kaase and commissioners Duane Bakke and Mitch Lentz looked at the security sys-
tem in Dodge County. Bakke noted that security systems vary between counties. Some have electronic screening similar to airports. In some cases the security system is only for the court, attorneys, sheriff records, and court room. Security doesn’t always extend to county administration offices. In some cases the equipment is manned all the time and in other cases only when the court is in session. Lentz said he was comfortable with manning the equipment only when court is in session. A motion was approved allowing the process to proceed. Other business in brief • Jessica Erickson, director of nursing, explained an application had been submitted for a WIC grant in the amount of $30,382 to be used for an office remodel. The plan is to move WIC up front and to provide privacy and safety with a secure door. No county match is required. Erickson acknowledged the grant would not be enough for the whole planned remodel, but will be nearly enough for the public health side of the remodel. The grant was accepted. • Proposed budgets for 2018 were reviewed by county recorder Dave Kiehne for the county recorder, recorder equipment, geographic information systems, and un-allocated recording. Building maintenance super-
Page 7
visor Terry Schultz reviewed the proposed 2018 maintenance and infrastructure budgets. He reported on needed building improvements including an update of the heating and cooling system at the Fillmore County Office Building. County attorney Brett Corson reviewed his department’s budget. • Charles Warner was hired as a replacement property appraiser effective August 11. • Approval was given for an access permit for Terry and Ellen Schwartz to expand an existing driveway off County Road 11, in Section 15, Fountain Township, to accommodate larger equipment. Approval was given for an access permit for Darin and Betty Johnson to install an adequate driveway for a new building site off County Road 11, Section 18, Pilot Mound Township. • Corson discussed the county’s position concerning Nationstar Mortgage/Glenn Winslow Mortgage foreclosure. The county has a subordinate interest due to an Ag Best Management Program (BMP) loan. The unpaid portion of the loan is about $900. Corson said it wasn’t practical for him to respond, that BMP loans are unsecured. This is not a bankruptcy and the outstanding portion of the loan will not be recovered with a response.

Monday, August 7, 2017 new waitress station, and a new office area have also been added, which will help keep everything running smoothly. The back room will be a youth area, states Robin, saying, “They can hang out back there,” whether it’s after school, after a sports event, or while at JAC’s with their parents. As Jamie is a journeyman plumber and has a lot of other experience, he is acting as the general contractor on the remodeling project and doing much of the work himself, along with knowledgeable friends. Several local contractors are also doing great work in the building. “We have so many wonderful people helping behind the scenes,” says Robin, including “a lot of awesome staff” members who have been working hard deep-cleaning in order to have the place in tip-top shape when they open the doors. There will be changes to the food menu at JAC’s as well. The addition of a pizza kitchen will make kids and adults happy, as pizza is an overwhelmingly popular meal choice for many people. Jamie managed a Pizza Hut in Hutchinson for approximately seven years and “he knows how to make a pizza,” states Robin. The couple are hoping to have pizza delivery available by fall and will then have an online ordering option as well. “We want to make it conve-

nient for people,” comments Robin, whether they eat in, take out, or have it delivered. A new salad bar will also be available with fresh and delicious items to compliment a customer’s meal or to have as a light meal by itself. Since Robin eats a gluten-free diet, she knows the importance of having those options and hopes to offer a few gluten-free items to the menu. “We are going to try to bring in glutenfree stuff but we are not going to be certified,” she explains. Robin states they will do whatever they can do to accommodate those who are gluten-free. JAC’s will not be serving breakfast at first as, “We need to get our bearings,” states Robin, and then they will assess whether they want to begin serving light breakfasts. The daily specials at JAC’s Bar & Grill are as follows: Monday - buy one burger get one free, Tuesday - tacos, Wednesday wings, Thursday - ladies night, Friday - fish fry, Saturday - steak special, and Sunday - pizza buffet. JAC’s Bar & Grill plans to have entertainment every weekend including local bands, DJs and Karaoke for customers to enjoy. Robin states they have had great support and help from many people, including their dear friends Dave Wilson and Lisa Raskin. “Without them we would not have been able to

purchase the building,” notes Robin. The community support has been overwhelming as, “We have been so welcomed by people - it’s so heartwarming,” Robin says. Jamie and Robin are also appreciative for the support given to them by former owners Jeff and Candi Hare, who helped make the transition a smooth one. JAC’s can seat up to 40 people in the back room if you have a family gathering, birthday party, or other celebration coming up. JAC’s Bar & Grill will have their “soft” opening on Monday, August 7, 2017, and will officially open the doors of the business on Tuesday, August 8, so they will be open for Chatfield’s Western Days celebration. A grand opening will be held at a later date. “I’m so excited about this,” states Robin, as is the rest of the family, their friends and area residents. Business hours are Monday through Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Thursday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. JAC’s Bar & Grill is located at 129 S.

Bill & Kate Isles to perform at 50th Annual Western Days Celebration Mosey on down to Chatfield, Minn., for the 50th Annual Western Days Celebration from August 10-13 for music, food, parades, car and truck show, and more. A highlight of the weekend is live music at Chatfield Center for the Arts with Bill & Kate Isles on Saturday, August 12 at 8 p.m. Bill & Kate Isles are an acoustic singer/songwriter duo based in Duluth, Minn. Using a wide variety of musical styles, their performances carry audiences through a broad landscape of experiences from metaphorical worlds to small town family stories and to zany comedy. Consummate performers, they are known for their catchy melodies and memorable songs. They have a deep-seated love for the audience, and each other, and it shines before, during, and after the performance. They
tour nationally, presenting their profound songs for audiences large and small, from house concerts to festival stages and everything in between. Words like “Mesmerizing,” “Transcendent,” and even, “Hysterical” are common descriptions from audience reviews and audiences members feel that they are listening to stories of their own lives, told by two of their best friends. Bill Isles (born and raised in Duluth, Minn.) performed his first show of original songs, after a 25-year hiatus, in February 2000. Since that time, he has become one of the most well known singer/songwriters in the Minnesota acoustic scene and has been getting national and international attention. Bill’s love of life has strong roots in his childhood, but his urgency to tell these stories comes from an experience in 1993 when,
with just enough warning to drive himself to the hospital, he experienced a sudden cardiac arrest. He arrived with just ten minutes to spare. After being defibrillated, and before the doctors had time to detect and open a blocked artery in his heart, he made a commitment to himself that, if he survived, he would begin to write again. Those paddles restarted more than just his heart... Kate Isles (born in Tecumseh, Nebr., raised in Rochester, Minn.) was a closet singer/ songwriter when she came to a CD release concert for Bill’s first CD, “Weightless” after hearing a public radio interview. She bought the CD and signed up on his e-mail list. (“Grounds for marriage!” quips Bill). Their song, “Public Radio (A True Story)” is a delightful duet that chronicles these beginnings.
Their relationship began in the ensuing months as they enjoyed afternoon sessions with guitars, harmonies and coffee. They’ve been together ever since, marrying in May 2004. They have toured nationally as a duo, full-time, since early 2007, performing about 150 shows per year. Their late-2011 duo album, “Still Beneath the Stars and Moon,” includes ten new original songs, and showcases their respective songwriting with several of Kate’s songs as well as a few they’ve co-written. The response has been very positive with many comments such as “We’re wearing out your CD, we listen to it all the time!” and “It’s the perfect blend of two voices.” Tickets are $20 in advance or at the door; seating is limited. Advance tickets are available online at www.chatfieldarts.org

amount of $38,508.79, bringing the total project cost to $643,000. This is $12,000 below the original amount awarded in the project. “There is a warranty and maintenance period, so there is recourse if needed, but without money dangling over their head…” added Pope. Some on the council, including Mayor Gordon Johnson and Councilor Chad Rasmussen were noticeably still frustrated with the contractor, with the question of retaining funds from the final pay application being suggested. “Frustrations abound by everyone. The good news is we’re pretty much at the end,” said Pope. Councilor Rasmussen questioned line items from the final pay application including more than $5,000 for the removal of a tree. Pope indicated that McHugh was able to present documentation for the fee, including the cost of a chipper rental and other equipment. Mayor Johnson noted that Public Works had offered to remove the tree at the city’s cost. “They told us they would just charge us more for the pipe,” he added. “I think it’s just them trying to stick something to us,” added Rasmussen. “I hope we never have to deal with McHugh again. They’re terrible.” “They just didn’t perform,” stated Mayor Johnson. “Retaining something is still a thought in my mind. How long can we hold something when we’ve had work like this?” Pope responded that with work being completed, it should be paid. “Would we like to retain some? Yes. Their hang-up is showing up to do the work.” The question of holding funds until the
warranty period is over was also mentioned. “In a way, it’s good their work took so long,” Pope responded. “The warranty kicks in when the project is complete.” “It still hurts to give them anything,” concluded Mayor Johnson. It was motioned by Councilor Dennis Overland and seconded by Councilor Mike Ebner to approve the final pay application. It was approved by four votes. Councilor Rich Smith was absent. The project has left at least one property owner upset with water puddling in the ditch rightof-way. Resident Donna Fowler spoke to the council regarding what she believes is excess water in the ditch since the project. Public Works Supervisor Travis Scheck couldn’t confirm the water report, having not seen it firsthand. “We were told there would be no water problems. We have a water problem and we can’t maintain the slope,” said Fowler. Pope indicated to the council that despite the two inch rise in pavement, due to the road work, the slope of the project at the property was tied in to achieve the same slope, or a negligible amount, as was present before the project began. “Our whole goal was to not make things worse,” said Pope. The area has a large watershed and without a massive undertaking to correct it, the project was aimed at improving the water flow as much as possible. Pope acknowledged some ditches lost capacity as slopes were matched to existing grades, but that it wouldn’t affect overall flow. “We’re not changing the water characteristics. It’s the same slope. We’ve had significant rain events,” he added. Fowler indicated that as much as eight or nine inches can stand in the ditch at her Goodrich and

received notice from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that designation of final flood mapping is on hold while a review is under way. The Department of Natural Resources is contesting the mapping layout and made their appeal known within the 90 day review period. “That stops everything until it’s resolved,” said Zoning Administrator Jon Pettit. Mayor Johnson brought forward a recent discussion in the Mayor’s Association regarding the placing of, “In God We Trust,” on council chambers in the state. “It caught my interest enough. Is it something we’d be willing to do? We do the Pledge of Allegiance before meetings. That’s probably taboo, too,” said Johnson. “It caught my curiosity. I thought we could take the opportunity to see what people you run across think
about it. I would like to have it on the agenda for next month.” City Treasurer Judy Graham noted, “We’re pretty much a Christian group. By putting it on our wall, it isn’t going to point to just our God. All religions have a god.” City Attorney Tom Manion offered another take on it. “It’s on our money. It has a federal connection. To me, that’s the association I know.” “We make decisions based on a lot of different things. It’s something to consider,” added Johnson. The issue will be discussed again at the second meeting in August. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, August 15, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Originally the project was slated to widen the road to the north, which would have caused significant water issues to contend with, as well as increased slopes. So, upon resident input, the road was widened to the south. In other news, the city has

ST. PAUL – State Representative Greg Davids (R-Preston) said he was recently notified that a pair of projects in southeastern Minnesota are receiving Minnesota Legacy funding grants. “This is great news for both of these worthwhile programs,” Davids said. “My congratulations to all who helped secure this funding.” The Harmony Area Historical Society receives $7,235 to create 14 Harmony area entries for the MNopedia project for online
research. The Giants of the Earth Heritage Center in Spring Grove will receive $5,750 for Phase I research for its Ola and Per Exhibit. This will allow for the hiring of a qualified consultant to research the history of Peter Rosendahl and his Ola and Per cartoon in preparation for a future exhibit. The grants are awarded from an appropriation by the legislature from the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Bandtown Friday Night Jam August 11 in Chatfield
The Bandtown Friday Night Jam is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at Chatfield Western Days on Friday, August 11. Photo submitted
Rain or shine. That’s the motto of the Bandtown Friday Night Jammers. When the rain descended upon the Jammers last August, the audience moved the benches inside the band shell or people listened from their cars and the Jam went off as scheduled — with surround sound! With all of the talented musicians that came to play, the audience was not disappointed. Western Days is just around the corner, and the Bandtown Friday Night Jam is set for Friday, August 11 from 5:30-7 p.m. This will allow those who wish to pick up a sandwich at one of the food booths to walk over and enjoy the music. Play-goers will be able to hear most of the Jam before walking over to Potter Auditorium to get their seats for the play. On the docket is a line-up of local musicians that are sure to entertain!

torical data, gasoline prices on July 31 in Minnesota have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.05/g in 2016, $2.62/g in 2015, $3.35/g in 2014, $3.57/g in 2013 and $3.57/g in 2012. Areas near Minnesota and their current gas price climate: Wisconsin - $2.28/g, up 2.8 cents per gallon from last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.25/g. Fargo - $2.08/g, up 4.1 cents per gallon from last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.04/g. Twin Cities - $2.27/g, up 2.7 cents per gallon from last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.24/g. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The upward climb at pumps across the country has largely continued as crude oil prices rallied and stand within striking distance of $50 per barrel,â&#x20AC;? said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rise in oil has come due to unrest and concern over the political outlook in Venezuela, a major supplier of crude oil to the U.S., due as well to Saudi Arabiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s export cut to six million barrels per day. Add on top of it U.S. oil inventories that have declined over 50 million barrels from March and you have a recipe for a continued rally in gasoline prices in much of the country. Watch for some volatility in oil and gasoline prices in the weeks ahead, especially with whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in Venezuela. August will likely feature the summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest gasoline prices.â&#x20AC;? For LIVE fuel price averages, visit http://FuelInsights.GasBuddy. com.

Fountain contends with treatment plant timeline Notice: An incorrect ad for Gundersen Harmony By Kirsten Zoellner The proposed timeline for Fountain’s wastewater treatment plant project has hit another roadblock. After the plant was designated out of compliance by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) compliance since October 2016, a corrective action plan was submitted and approved. The city was unable to meet the timeline laid out by the plan due to unsecured funding options. Now, it appears staterequested modifications to the plan will put the project farther back. At the July 5 meeting, Richard Parr, Senior Project Manager for WSB & Associates, indicated the city may be ready to bid out the project in October, with a late season construction start. That timeline is being hampered by state requests to modify the city’s application. Parr detailed these changes at the Wednesday, August 2 council meeting. MPCA wants the city to move forward with plans and specs and if an agreement is reached, MPCA wants to replace the standing stipulation agreement with a new permit. The review process is lengthy though, including drafting of the permit, 30 days for review and comment, and a minimum of 60 days for public notice. “We may bid out late this year, at the earliest,” noted Parr. “Our previous plan is probably out the window.” Parr did state that pushing the timeline back may allow the city to negotiate a longer schedule to get the project completed. “We’re not guaranteed the money this year,” added Parr. He intends to clarify the likelihood that the city could attain Public Facilities Authority (PFA) funding. “If not this year, are we higher up for next year?” Parr still maintains that funding through PFA is a better mechanism for the city than a USDA Rural Development loan. “What they’re asking us to do is to take the old application that was submitted and mark it as amended. The main thing is they want us to say construction is being proposed,” said Parr. This also raises the application fee another $1,240 on top of the $1,240 already submitted. The state is also pushing for heat exchangers in the project. “The bottom line is they want to bring the temperature of the water up,” said Parr. This option may have some hidden problems of its own, however. In addition to the requests, the state wants to designate the City of Fountain as Class A wastewater, rather than Class B. This pushes the requirements and the ability to operate it to a substantially greater level. The exchangers, class designation, and a permit all carry additional possibilities for future city issues, according to Rick Whitney, of PeopleService, who the city contracted with in 2012 to assist in mitigating problems. “Once a permit becomes a permit, it stays a permit until the end of time. The cost between a Class B
operator and a Class A operator is huge. Use caution on what gets put in the permit. Use caution on how you approach timelines,” warned Whitney. “Obviously people signed off on a plant that didn’t perform as it was designed to function. Whatever changes are going to be made, make sure they’re beneficial to the city. Be aware of hidden costs,” continued Whitney. Whitney also made a point of detailing the heater option, being clearly in favor of utilizing bioaugmentation instead, as the city currently does. “Put it in the permit. If I can get a nine for nitrates or I can get a four with bio-aug-
mentation, I’d rather not squeak by with the system and would rather put lower nitrates back in that stream or creek. I don’t want my hands bound. There’s science behind it,” he said. According to Parr, there is very limited use of heat exchangers in systems compounded by cold weather treatment. On the flip side, bio-augmentation is being successfully used across the country. “Keep fighting the battle and do what we can to make it feasible for the city,” added Whitney, who also stated his irritation by being See FOUNTAIN Page 24

indicated that letters regarding property ordinance compliance were sent to every property owner in the city. Despite the heading stating such, several residents contacted the city or its councilors seeking clarification as to why they were out of compliance. Flattum reiterated to the council that all property owners received the letter. She and Public Works’ John Hanson will be reviewing properties on an individual basis on or after August 14. Those who are out of compliance will be discussed with the council at the

The county has offered a $24,000 annual contract providing two hours of patrolling per day. At an informal meeting, the Preston Department indicated it could provide 2-3 hours per day at at comparable cost. Fountain wants

September 6 meeting. The city has opted not to change its licensing for pets. The council had considered a lifetime license in effort to cut down on clerical work related to it, but it was determined that keeping it as an annual license may be beneficial to pet owners. “It reminds people to make sure shots are up to date,” stated Flattum. “We have to look at why we’re doing it. Is it to make money? Or is it to protect our residents?” She indicated that 97 licenses were given out in the last license year, which runs from June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018. “At one time, we were overrun with dogs. It did take care of that,” added Mayor Richard Kujath. Currently, the city ordinance states that properties may have up to three pets (including indoor cats or dogs). Both dogs and cats must be licensed. Outdoors, pets must be penned or leashed at all times. The city will have final meetings to discuss the future of policing. As of the August 2 meeting, the city formally accepted the resignation of longtime Fountain Police Chief Tom Mosher. For several months, the city has worked to prepare for Mosher’s retirement, considering maintaining its own force contracting with the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Department, or contracting with another municipal department for con-

rent, are also independent of law enforcement investigations. Those involved in injury and fatal crashes generally include (when applicable): Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, Medical Examiner/Coroner, State and Federal Occupational and Safety Health Administration (OSHA) along with other emergency services agencies. Depending on the type of unit(s) involved in the crash, other agencies may also be involved: • Aviation Accidents: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) • Rail/Transit Accidents: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA) • Marine Accidents: United States Coast Guard, State or local waterway or harbor police • Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Accidents: Pipeline and Hazards Materials Safety Agency (PHMSA), State pipeline regulator, Minnesota Duty Officer
As you can see, many different investigators and agencies can respond and investigate certain types of incidents depending on where, when, how and what was involved. Law enforcement agencies throughout the country understand that teamwork is very important in all incidents and investigations.

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: When does the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) get involved with crashes? Answer: The Minnesota State Patrol notifies the NTSB on the following types of Troy H. crashes.

The NTSB will then determine if they are going to send a team to investigate. NTSB investigators employ procedures similar to those utilized by law enforcement.

Great need for quality child care in rural Minnesota Human Services Assistant Commissioner Jim Koppel recently visited Cedar Mountain Cougar Childcare Center in Franklin, Minn., to emphasize the importance of quality child care, and highlight businesses and communities coming together to address the need for child care. “Without consistent, quality child care, children often struggle and are not prepared to enter kindergarten, and parents often are unable to go to school or work as a result,” said Koppel. “We need to help ensure children are well cared for and educated in safe, stable, nurturing learning environments.”
According to Koppel, state government has a critical role to play, including: • Supporting child care programs with tools, materials and guidance through the Parent Aware quality child care rating system • Providing financial support to families with low incomes through the Child Care Assistance Program • Providing state tax credits to families for child care expenses; this year, Gov. Mark Dayton and the Minnesota Legislature expanded the credit to cover 55,900 families, providing more than 42,800 Minnesota families an average additional

tax saving of $342 a year, worth a total of $35.8 million in the first biennium. Businesses and communities play a role as well. Franklin Industries, a collaborative group of business leaders, helped build the Cedar Mountain Cougar Childcare Center, which opened in December 2016, to meet a community need. The program currently serves 29 children. The center is currently working with Parent Aware and accepts families on the Child Care Assistance Program. “The Cedar Mountain Cougar Childcare Center is a great example of people coming together to meet a need for child care,” said Koppel. “It’s a model of how communities can solve a problem and address needs. While state government
plays a critical role, families, businesses and communities do as well. Across the state, the number of providers is declining – there were 12,449 licensed child care providers in 2012 and 10,599 in 2016 – making it difficult for families, particularly in Greater Minnesota, to find care. Cedar Mountain Cougar Childcare Center is filling that need. The center’s Executive Director Jody Rose, who operated a family child care business for two decades, echoed that, stating challenges in providing quality child care include difficulty in hiring qualified teachers, struggles for families with low incomes to pay for child care expenses, and need for scholarships and other financial supports for families. “We are thankful for the
scholarships and other financial supports for our low income families, however there are many families in rural Minnesota that miss those income guidelines by a few thousand dollars or there is not enough money allocated to help those who qualify,” Rose said. “Those families struggle to pay for quality child care because they cannot afford it and often times end up staying home with their children instead of going to work. It would be nice to see Parent Aware scholarships and other financial supports expanded to help more of these families.” Currently 16,000 Minnesota families with 30,000 children are enrolled in the state’s Child Care Assistance Program, receiving financial support to help pay for child care expenses. “We all have the same goal in mind: To ensure children are well cared for and have a healthy development,” said Koppel.
