home of the United Brethren Methodist Congregation until 1950 when it was closed. For many years it was the meeting place of the Masonic Lodge and is now a gathering place for an early morning coffee, a little lunch anytime of the day, or a place to meet after a day’s work is done. Shannon Snow, prep cook and daughter of the owner, is thrilled with the historical connection of Comforts of the Past. She shares, “I like the fact that in the time period this building was constructed, neighbors came together to build. It’s neat to think that Almonzo Wilder was probably involved with this building.” The beauty of the stained

Anytime can be “coffee time” in Spring Valley since Wayne and Joanie Musel have opened the doors of Comforts of the Past August 15, 2016. The idea of sharing her gifts came to Joanie in 2013 when employment conditions changed and Wayne began thinking about retiring from his roofing position at Schwickert’s in Rochester. “I wanted to give back to the community in a way I know best,” states Joanie. “Cooking for a big family and using family recipes combined with my love of people, coffee, music, and the Vikings came together in this new business.”

The months which ensued between this initial wish to open a business and the opening day were filled with details. Wayne comments, “After buying the building, we were surprised to find the stained glass windows covered by insulation and panel board. When you take a building built in 1891, many design changes and structural details need to be looked at. It’s been quite a job, especially hard boarding the kitchen and we’ve got a lot more projects we want to complete.” The coffeehouse is still “a work in progress” as the Musels muse as they reflect on the transformation this structure has made over the years. This building was constructed as a church in the late 1800s and

CPS of Harmony has reasons to celebrate By Barb Jeffers barb@fillmorecountyjournal.com
Crop Production Services of Harmony, Minn., is close to having their new building which will store and mix dry fertilizer complete. This is reason enough for the company and its employees to celebrate, which is why they will be hosting an open house, but the business will also recognize local heroes in September, as well. The new building on the site of CPS was in the initial planning phase in the winter of 2015, with construction getting underway in the spring of 2016. With only a few minor details remaining the building “should be done by September 15, 2016,” states CPS manager Chad Phillips. A new building was needed to increase efficiency, as the existing building used for dry
fertilizer had “run its course,” says Phillips, adding, “it was time” to upgrade to a larger, more modern building which will also result in improved customer service. The new building is 220 x 180 feet and holds 10,000 tons of fertilizer. Some of the features of the new building include larger capacity, natural lighting, LED lighting, and infloor heat. Phillips notes that the in-floor heat “helps keep the building clean,” as the floor will not be wet so clean up of dry fertilizer will be much easier. In one end of the building is the enclosed dry fertilizer receiving bay. From there, the fertilizer is sent by conveyor to be dropped into large bins for storage and to keep different fertilizers separate. The other end of the building is where the See CPS Page 14

C ommentary Governing in 2017 By Karen Reisner Our new president will be inaugurated on January 20, 2017. Leading and governing, especially after this election cycle, will be extremely challenging. Neither candidate has the Karen Reisner trust of even a majority of the electorate; neither will have a mandate. We hear over and over that this is a “change” election. How each of us defines “change” probably covers a wide spectrum of definitions. Change can be for good or for ill. For me, the change I long for is compromise. Our new president needs to lead, to patch together the divisions deepened over the last year, to heal the country, and to set a course for the country’s future. Members of Congress have to be willing to work with the president; to create legislation that is good for the country and the country’s future. They and the president have to face the reality that getting just 60-80% of what they want is a win. We citizens have to be satisfied with laws that may not be perfect in our opinion, but serve the greatest number of people. Putting together legislation is like making a stew, not all ingredients are going to please everyone, but the final product is edible and nourishing. Healing the country will be more difficult with modern media. The new media which has grown extensively over the past 20 years has often driven wedges between groups and ideas. Tweets are not news; they are opinion. Talk radio and more recently “news related” websites and blogs have gained a Editorial Cartoon
loyal following, a following that only gets their news from one source, a source that beats the drum for a particular, narrow world view. Unfortunately, many of these media outlets make up their own facts and drive distrust of reputable news outlets. They don’t look at all sides of an issue. They contribute to division and a hardening of beliefs, tending to discourage any kind of compromise. It is up each of us to do our homework and check into the veracity of the information being presented. Certain American institutions make our country work, not perfectly, but are necessary for order and our way of life. Gallup conducted a poll in June of 2016 to rank our confidence in American institutions. The following institutions are ranked from the institution with the greatest confidence to the least: military, small business, police, organized religion, medical system, Presidency, U.S. Supreme Court, public schools, banks, organized labor, Criminal Justice System, television news, newspapers, big business, and on the very bottom, Congress. This ranking demonstrates how difficult it will be to lead and to bring members of a divided Congress together to solve the serious problems we face. Congress has failed to deal with immigration, the ballooning debt/budget, entitlement reform, tax reform/closing loopholes, fixing the healthcare law, job creation/retraining, and on and on. If legislation aimed toward rebuilding America’s deteriorating infrastructure was passed and signed into law, it would provide jobs and boost the economy. Congress is more polarized
than ever, partly do to gerrymandering and partly due to the failure of voters to participate in primary elections. Low turnout in primaries allows more extreme candidates to move on to the general election. Bipartisan redistricting could lead to the election of more moderate candidates, who could help move legislation that is in the best interest of America’s future. Governing requires a different skill set than campaigning. Experience is definitely a plus, even necessary. A smooth transition from the Obama administration to the new administration is a must. Anything less weakens national security and the economy. The new president must be prepared to govern from day one. My greatest fear is that the country will be so splintered politically after the election that continued dysfunction in government is inevitable. Our country is stronger when we are united. No one has all the answers. Listening to a variety of viewpoints is healthy. It is better to get a percentage of what one wants, than nothing at all. The status quo, which has been governmental dysfunction, causes stagnation and leads to disappointment. The notion floated by one candidate that the elections will be “rigged” is dangerous and could lead to even more distrust. It is important that we trust that our president is legitimate. We must trust reputable news outlets. The legitimate media is a necessary element to a functioning democracy. Legitimate media outlets cover both sides and provide transparency. It is important to get news from more than one source. Most of us will be satisfied with all levels of government when they actually work and things get done, even if we don’t agree with everything.

Letter about the need for new ideas and progress... To the Editor, I am voting for Thomas Trehus for state representative because he understands that for rural Minnesota to succeed, our leaders need to work together for all of us, for One Minnesota. Our district is not going to get the education and transportation funding or capital investments we need unless our legislators can work with, not against, legislators from both the rural and metro areas. Our long time representative, Greg Davids, and his Republican caucus have been playing the divisive card in St. Paul and all it has brought us is gridlock. No tax bill for two years in a row. No bonding bill this year. No sustainable solution for funding roads, bridges or mass transit. No progress. Rep. Davids pleads for credit for passing his tax bill through the Legislature. Close but no
cigar. First, due to last minute decision-making the tax bill contained a $100 million mistake so the Governor did not sign it into law. Then the House bonding bill was also late and everything fell apart. Most observers agree that the stubborn refusal of Davids’ Republican caucus to support the Southwest Light Rail line (even though rural taxpayers would not have to pay for it) is the reason for the utter failure of the Legislature and the Governor to do their job this year. The Republicans took control of the House in 2014 by pushing division between rural and metro Minnesota. This is not a good long term strategy for rural citizens. It is time for a change. We need new ideas, not someone who has been in office for 25 years without meeting the needs of all of his constituents. We need progress. We need Thomas Trehus. Erika Haugerud Preston, MN

C ommentary The cost of the EpiPen price increase By Senator Amy Klobuchar There’s a cost that comes with the 450% increase in the price of EpiPens. Parents worry that they won’t be able to afford their child’s medication. They drive to pharmacies Senator Amy miles away Klobuchar from their homes just to get the best deal on EpiPens. School nurses watch as families weigh the risk of sending their child to school without this life-saving medication because they cannot afford it. I heard from one family whose child’s allergy is so severe that it takes two EpiPens to treat an allergic reaction. That means the family has to pay for two EpiPens for school, two more to have at home, and an additional two for the grandparents’ home. Sure, it’s expensive. But they do it because the alternative is terrifying. I experienced that firsthand. My daughter, Abigail, is one of millions of Americans who suffer

from a life-threatening allergy. I’ll never forget the scary day we discovered Abigail’s nut allergy. She had eaten a cashew and suddenly started to swell up. We were worried her throat would close as we rushed her to the emergency room. She now carries an EpiPen with her everywhere. The EpiPen saves lives and provides peace of mind for patients and parents. However, an alarming and unjustified rise in the price of this medication has put lifesaving treatment out of reach for many of the consumers who need it most. In 2009, two EpiPens cost $100. Now, Mylan Pharmaceuticals is charging as much as $600. And as anyone who relies on an EpiPen knows, that $600 isn’t a one-time expense. EpiPens must be replaced every year whether they are used or not, because the medication in the device expires. So what caused this dramatic price increase? Here’s one possible answer: It’s happened at the same time that Mylan has gained more market power. Last fall, a competing drug was recalled from the market, and a generic version failed to receive approval this spring. That leaves people with severe allergies with no practical choice but the EpiPen. That’s why, as Ranking Member of the Antitrust Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I have called on the committee and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate these outrageous price increases. Days after I called for these investigations, Mylan announced

it would expand its EpiPen patient assistance programs. While this action by Mylan is welcome relief to many who are struggling to afford this lifesaving medication, it won’t fully address the root of the problem. The burden of the EpiPen price increases and other prescription drug increases – including vital medications like insulin and Naxolone – persists for American families, taxpayers, and employers. We cannot rely on public outcry as the only solution to high prescription drug prices. And I’ve introduced multiple pieces of legislation that would help protect American consumers from the rising prices of prescription drugs. EpiPen packs cost hundreds of dollars less in Canada; Senator John McCain and I have introduced legislation that would help Minnesota families save money. The Safe and Affordable Drugs from Canada Act would require the Food and Drug Administration to establish a personal importation program that would allow people to import a 90-day supply of prescription drugs from an approved Canadian pharmacy. Other bills I’ve introduced would change current laws that give pharmaceutical the upper hand in bargaining prices for prescription medication, expand access to cost-saving generic drugs, and deter pharmaceutical companies from blocking cheaper generic alternatives from entering the marketplace. It’s this simple: If you have a life-threatening illness then you should have access to affordable lifesaving medicine. But with the price of EpiPens on the rise, that’s not the case for many who suffer from severe allergies. The cost for families is too high. That’s why I’m going to keep fighting to bring the price of prescription drugs down.

Back to school...for parents, too! By Tim Penny Yet again, summer went by too quickly. As backpacks are reloaded with new notebooks and pencils and kids don new school clothes and gym shoes, at Southern Mi n n e s o t a Initiative Foundation (SMIF), Tim Penny we’ve been seeing some older faces filing into classrooms. Caregiver education is the main goal of SMIF’s Parenting Matters: A Workplace Education program, which began in 2012 and has received new investments to expand its curriculum this past year. Parenting Matters is typically offered in worksites over the lunch hour, allowing working parents a convenient way to attend these “caregiver education” classes. Sessions cover topics like strengthening social emotional development, identifying and managing emotions, teaching self-control and problem solving, dealing with strong emotions, reducing stress at home, and literacy development. As anyone with kids knows, schedules fill up quickly and energy is a commodity in short supply by the end of the day when many parenting classes are held. Cost can also be a prohibitive factor. These factors are compounded for single parent families or in homes where both parents are working. Furthermore, we are seeing more grandparents playing a larger role in raising their grandchildren. The Foundation sought to overcome conflicting work schedules, time commitments and cost of traditional caregiver education courses by partnering with employers to offer classes in the workplace. So far, 21 Parenting Matters sessions have been held at workplaces and engaged with over 350 parents at no cost to caregivers or employers. Social emotional skills trainings are given over five lunch-hour sessions. Since literacy is another big focus area for SMIF, Profinium and Fred and Shelley Krahmer provided a grant to help the Foundation add a session on

early literacy development. “The personal and social benefits of reading to young children are well established, but in our busy days, all too often we put our kids in front of televisions or tablets instead of engaging their growing minds with books,” said Fred W. Krahmer of Krahmer Law Office in Fairmont. Not only do the Parenting Matters sessions benefit parents, but employers, as well. Increasingly, workers are incentivized by non-monetary benefits such as flex time, development opportunities and other efforts that acknowledge a work-life balance. In addition, smart employers realize that when things are going better at home, workers can be more productive at their job. According to the Families and Work Institute, employees who are dual-centric (meaning they place the same priority on work and their personal/family life) have the highest ratings for feeling successful at work. Through Parenting Matters, SMIF provides a trained parent educator, incentives for parents to participate, learning materials and connections to local resources. Furthermore, participating employers are recognized by SMIF as “Family Friendly.” Studies continue to show that it’s not just hard academic skills that are necessary for long-term success, but “softer skills” that prepare children to cooperate, listen, think critically and engage in the world with a sense of curiosity. Art Rolnick, past researcher from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, estimated that every $1 invested in high quality learning can return $16 dollars back to society. As with all we do at SMIF, the larger goal is to work toward regional vitality. Our children are our future workforce. By helping parents and caregivers feel more comfortable with things like emotional regulation and equipping them with new tools on how to get their kids off to the best start possible, we are working toward long-term prosperity. I welcome your comments and questions. You can reach me at timp@smifoundation.org or (507) 455-3215.

glass allows light and mood to flow throughout the three floors available at Comforts of the Past. The loft area allows a more casual setting and may be ideal for small meetings like a book club. Joanie says, “We are Vikings fans and will have parties during the football season, but not on Sundays when we are at the games ourselves. Plus, we are planning on October 31st to have football on the big screen in the lower level and a party for Halloween on the main floor.” “It’s more than just a place for getting together,” remarks Manager Sarah Osterhus, a Spring Valley native. “We want to educate people about the varieties of coffees available today, especially cold brew and nitro coffee. I hope people will find Comforts of the Past a place where they can meet and talk. There can never be too many places for people to get out and our location is ideal!” The parking for Comforts of the Past is just north of the coffeehouse. “Lance and Diane Sikkink sold us the lot to the north,” says Wayne. “We put in special handicapped parking and ramps and have a deck out the back if people want to sit outside.” The idea of working in her hometown appeals to Sarah, who greets most people who enter the cafe by their first name. “I grew up here and have always come back here.

here and it feels so good to be able to give back to this community by providing a place for people to get together, for lunch or meetings or even to sit and have some down time while waiting for school or a practice to get done where wifi and phone charging are available. It was just time for a coffeehouse in Spring Valley.” Joanie is amazed at seeing her dream become a reality and feels the hand of God is helping them each day. “Divine Inspiration is center in Comforts of the Past,” states Joanie. “So many times I have seen signs encouraging me to step forward.

This is just one of the WWII Warbirds that will be on sight during the 2016 SpectaculAir Warbirds Expo. The Stinson L-5 Warbird was a WWII era liaison aircraft used by all branches of the U.S. military. Capable of operating from short unimproved airstrips, the L-5 “Sentinel” delivered personnel, critical intelligence and needed supplies to the front line troops. On return flights, wounded soldiers were often evacuated to rear area field hospitals for medical treatment, boosting the morale of combat troops fighting in remote areas. Photo submitted

socialscenes A View From The Woods By Loni Kemp ©SallyKeating2011
After the deluge I stir from sleep in the night, hearing a loud thrumming of rain on the roof. I turn over, glad we closed the windows at bedtime. By morning, the barely lightened sky keeps us dozing later than usual. The rain has ended, but the morning remains dark. I rise, already thinking of the mounds of cucumbers and tomatoes I plan to put up that day. A quick peek outside reveals a sopping world, and drifts of acorns and debris crossing the sidewalk, revealing a high water mark of overland flow over our hilltop yard. I think to myself, that must have been quite a downpour. It is good to have it so wet out, to help me resist the temptation to spend the morning out tending the garden, and instead deal with the harvest at hand. I start with a
new try at fermented pickles, and set the highly–seasoned jars in the pantry to cure, with tops covered in cheese cloth. The rest of the cukes are hand-sliced and packed in hot vinegary–sweet liquid, then sealed and refrigerated. The radio is announcing rivers and levees overflowing their banks in Decorah and Granger after a record-breaking eight-inch rainfall, estimated to occur only once in a thousand years. Bad news of dangerous roads and flooded homes follows. I put my nose to the grindstone and chop up a half bushel of tomatoes, along with peppers, onions, garlic, lime juice and vinegar. Fresh salsa goes into the fridge, and the rest is cooked and divided for freezing.
Roast the Garden
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel and halve an onion, and cut criscrosses 1/2 inch deep. Cut the top off an unpeeled head of garlic to expose the cloves. Cut a medium zucchini, a yellow summer squash and two carrots in 2 inch chunks. Seed 2 peppers and cut into large chunks. Toss all in a roasting pan with olive to lightly coat. Salt and pepper. Roast for 50-60 minutes until edges start to brown. Let cool a bit, then cut the veggies into bite sized pieces. Serve with toast or grilled meat, or just top with tzatziki or salsa.

By now I am beat, and I stroll outside for a break. The rain gauge has an astounding 4.7 inches, but also astounding is that nothing has fallen over in the night. The bean tower and twelve foot tall cannas still stand proud. I keep my eyes down and tie up broken pepper branches. I pick a dozen flopped over Gladiola stalks for a bouquet. Still, I am oblivious until my husband says, did I see the driveway? New gullies were dug by rushing water along the paved part, and masses of gravel wash down the unpaved part. We take a walk down to the decrepit county bridge, slated for urgent replacement this fall, and finally I take in the significance of what this rain has done. The vegetation along the creek banks is smashed flat some 15 feet higher than normal, where rushing waters flowed the night before. A dead tree is hung up under the bridge, and the scrim of debris from the highest flow is lodged right under the bridge floor. Any higher and the road would have flooded. Our neighbors large driveway culvert did not fare as well, and required immediate repair with loads of rock and gravel. On the plus side, an old water heater dumped into our creek at least 40 years ago is pushed down stream, out of our view. I wonder how far it went before lodging in someone else’s view? Days later, I try to hike back into the woods to check out how Weisel creek upstream from the bridge fared during the rain. The forest floor was nearly washed clean of last year’s dead leaves, and bulbs of spring ephemerals were partially exposed. When I hit the valley floor, five-foot stands of nettles sent me scuttling back toward home before I could reach the creek. A week later, we chatted with friends in the living room, and they comment on the cozy wood stove, and how cozy the feeling must be in the winter. I glance at it, and realize that night of the rainstorm, water had leaked in from the roof, down along the chimney, and rusted the top of our wood stove. A day that started out all about my plans turns into a day of creeping realizations that nature always take charge, whether we acknowledge it or not.

fertilizer is loaded for customers, which is also enclosed. Phillips explains how the metered control system works, saying, “This system coordinates - each bin is a different fertilizer - with the control system it meters out,” giving an example, stating, “for a particular field if we need 1,000 lb of this product, 800 lb of another, and 2,000 of another, it will meter itself out so by the time it goes in the truck it’s all weighed up and ready to go” so drivers can just pull under the conveyor. Increased efficiency is the

highlight of the new building as, “We went from taking a half hour to 45 minutes to unload an incoming semi to less than 10 minutes to unload,” states Phillips. “Customers are excited, especially because it will increase our efficiencies,” comments Phillips saying, “it’s a big deal” to our employees and our customers. Another time saver to increase efficiency and also improve safety is electronic monitoring. “With this building we have implemented electronic monitoring in our trucks and applicators,” states Phillips, explaining that they can look on Google earth and see where their trucks

are so when a truck is on its way back they can have the next load ready for it. This also increases safety, as drivers are not on their radios calling in to the office. With so much additional storage space compared to the previous dry fertilizer building, CPS will be able to capitalize on the markets by purchasing products when prices are low and passing that savings on to customers. The added storage space also means the company can have enough product on hand for spring when demand is high. DCG Peterson Brothers Construction of Sioux Rapids, Iowa ,was the general contractor on the project and several local contractors were utilized, including Bruening Rock Products of Decorah, Iowa, Morem Electric of Harmony, Davis Construction of Canton (excavating), and Canton Plumbing & Heating. Phillips, who has been employed by CPS for several years, stepped into the role of manager at the Harmony site on May 2, 2016, as longtime manager Keith Haugen decided to relinquish the position. Haugen, who began at CPS in 2008, remains a valuable member of the team at CPS in Harmony. “I have a very good mentor,” says Phillips, referring to Haugen. Phillips grew up in Granger, Minn., and graduated from Fillmore Central school in 2004. He and his family live in Lanesboro, Minn. Phillips states that since the project of the new building was underway when he became manager, there are several employees who played an integral role that should be recognized. Haugen, who has been in the business in one form or another for fifty years, Randy Mayer and Dean Walsh. A Community Open House will be held at CPS on Thursday, September 15, 2016 from 4-6 p.m., where “the community is welcome to come by,” states
The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. Phillips, as the new fertilizer building will be open “for people to check it out and ask questions” of employees who will be wearing bright orange shirts for easy recognition. Ice cream will also be served at the event. Also, one day prior to the open house, on Wednesday, September 14 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., Crop Production Services will host a police, fire and EMT Appreciation Lunch. Anyone in those professions can stop by and have grilled hamburgers and brats “just to say thanks” for all they do, states Phillips. CPS is a very large company with 750 retail locations in the United States, approximately 400 in Canada, as well as locations in South America and Australia. The parent company of Crop Production Services is Echelon. Although CPS is an international company, the office in

Harmony is a local business. Crop Production Services of Harmony employs 15 people, which rises to approximately 30 -35 during peak season. These employees come from in and around the Harmony area. Several fathers work with their sons at CPS in Harmony including Phillips and his father, making it a true family atmosphere. The staff at CPS in Harmony and their customers look forward to the conveniences and efficiency of the new building. “Everyone’s excited to get that first load of fertilizer brought in” to the building, says Phillips. CPS is located at 13723 Hwy 52 S. in Harmony. Hours are typically 7 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., but during spring and fall seasons, the hours are extended as needed.

Recycling 101 By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator The Environmental Protection Agency of the United States has made a lot of this information available for me to share with you. I LaVerne C. realize you Paulson have heard or read some of this material more than once before, but a little review is sometimes good. Throughout the United States, the recycling rate is about 34%. The State of Washington is in first place with 50% and Minnesota is in the top five with a little more than 40%. As you know, the residents of Minnesota and we, here in Fillmore County, recycle a lot of stuff. However, nationally, we landfill more than 54% of the stuff we throw away, much of the

stuff that scores of businesses throughout the state could use to make new products more economically. Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. Recycling benefits your community and the environment. The more we recycle, the less is sent to landfills. Recycling conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals. Recycling prevents many forms of pollution, saves energy, and reduces the need to collect new raw materials. Recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change. Recycling helps sustain the environment for future generations. Of course, recycling helps create well-paying jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries in Minnesota and throughout the United States. Here is some information on plastic bottles that I would like you to think about. Every day, consumers discard more than sixty million (60,000,000) plastic water bottles. These bottles litter highways, clog waterways, or end up in incineration and landfills. Plastic, buried in landfills can take up to 700 years to decompose. Meeting consumer demand for water bottles in the United States requires more than 15
million barrels of oil each year for manufacturing, transport and disposal. That is enough oil to fuel nearly 1,000,000 cars for an entire year. Plastic bottles are one of the least recycled materials in the United States. The Recycling Institute states that very few plastic bottles sold in the United States were recycled in 2004. If every American household recycled one out of every ten HDPE bottles, this would keep 200,000,000 pounds (one hundred thousand tons) of plastic out of landfills every year. Recycling plastic water bottles means less need to manufacture new plastic from petroleum resin, and less trash that ends up in landfills, streams, lakes, ditches, and parks. Recycled plastic is made into plastic bottles, other plastic containers, plastic lumber, clothing, insulation for sleeping bags and ski jackets, flower pots, and car bumpers. Please make every effort to get those plastic bottles out of the garbage and into a recycling container, and don’t forget to landfill the caps. Living here in the Midwest, we seldom think about what goes on in the Pacific Ocean, but we must keep in mind that large floating plastic island, possibly the size of Texas, that is growing larger each year. This is certainly not good for the ocean nor the plants and animals that live there.

Harmony High School Class of ‘56
The Harmony High School Class of 1956 held their 60th class reunion on July 5 aat the K-town Tap in Kendallville, Iowa. Out of a class of 40 graduates, 14 class members and their guests were in attendance - bringing the total number of celebrants to 21. The class member attending from the farthest away was Kay Armstrong Crafton form Huntington Beach, Calif., who was the 1956 class valedictorian. The event was held at noon to allow all attendees, as elder drivers, to get home safely before dark. David Jones shared a documentary on the life of Dave Madden, who contracted polio and spent 16 of his 37-year-long life in an iron lung. David, a survivor of polio himself, spent many of his first years in the medical field as Dave Madden’s personal attendant. It was a story in the lives of these 1956 graduates that was very meaningful to all of those in attendance. The owners of K-town Tap were extremely hospitable and served delicious, reasonably priced food and assisted with a smile when asked to help. The class of 1956 attending are shown above. In the back row, left to right: Gerald Johnson, Dick Burt, Robert Miller, Gladys Elaine Fishbaugher Jones, Kay Armstrong Crafton, June Scheevel Jansen, and Barbara Johnson Bergan. In the front row, left to right: Jerry Scrabeck, Gary Grebin, David Jones, Larita Trouten Baaken, Patricia Jones Wendt, Emily Todd Burt, and Allen Haugen. Photo submitted

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.
Fillmore County Sports 2016 Football Preview By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal.com The 2015 high school football season saw five of seven Journal covered teams post The Trende winning Report records. Many of the same t e a m s return keys pieces. The 2016 should again be competiPaul Trende tive for FCJ squads. There are some district changes. LeRoy-Ostrander is back (after a one year hiatus). AldenConger and Glenville-Emmons are combined. They will also play in the 9-man South-East district, but 11-man play-off football. Their addition to Section 2A moves Blooming Prairie back to Section 1A (making it an 8-team section). The new U.S. Bank Stadium is done and ready to host the MSHSL football play-offs (semis and finals) again. For the first time in 17 years, (former) KFIL radio man Devon Krueger won’t call an area game week one (or otherwise). The Fillmore Central Falcons were the last county team standing in 2015. FC procured its first ever football play-off #1 seed, and made its first ever section title game under head coach Chris Mensink. The Falcons fell to Goodhue (after downing the Wildcats in week three). FC finished as section runner-up, a ten-year best 9-2 (6-1 in MidSoutheast East). They lost a pair of All-District players (Tyson Ristau, Trace Tollefson). A 16-man senior class with multiple three year starters and A-D players Riley Means (5’8” Riley Means 195, QB/LB), Justin Ristau (6’1” 246, OT/LB), and Sam Rustad (6’2” 161 WR/DE > 5 receiving TDs) returns. Means, the rare QB/LB combo, led FC on each side of the ball (1,030 yards, 11 TDs, 3 INTs passing; 280 yards, 5 TDs rushing; team-leader in tackles, 3 INTs). They get help from thirdyear senior Justin Ristau starters Drew Tienter (6’4” 233 T/DT), Jacob Thomas (5’10” 288 OL/DL), and Walker Ward (6’0” 248 OL/DL). The junior class is headed by A-D players Brady Ristau (5’9” 167 RB/LB, 419 yards, 5 TDs), the team’s
top returning rusher, and Luke Ristau (6’3” 203 OL/DE), the team’s top sacker (6). Michael Kotek (Sr. 5’9” 166 TB/LB), Sam Peters (Sr. 5’8” 125 WR/ DB), Devin Whitacre (Sr. 5’10” 220 OL/DL), Matt Lutes (Jr. 5’9” 153 TB/LB), Josh Peters (Jr. 5’8” 149 RB/LB), and Nate Haugerud (Jr. 5’10” 152 TB/LB) also have experience. FC has 40 out (16 senior, 12 juniors, four sophomores, eight freshman). The Mabel-Canton Cougars enter the season off their best win total (7-3, 6-2 in SouthEast) since 2008. M-C fell to Spring Grove in the 9-man semis. Karl Urbaniak lost two All-District players (Alex Mengis, Mitch Kuhn). He brings back a pair of third-year 1,000-yard running backs. It is the last hur- Wayne Ross rah for rumbling A-D seniors Wayne Ross (5’9” 215 RB/LB) and Gus (Weston) Whalen (5’10” 180 RB/LB). Whalen (1,136 yards, 11 TDs, 14 total TDs) led the team in rushing. Ross, a twotime A-D selection led the entire South-East Gus (Weston) in scoring Whalen (1,009 yards, 21 rushing TDs, 23 total TDs). Each, with another 1,000-yard season, would top 3,000 career rushing yards. Also back are A-D HM players Drew Wyffels (5’7” 140 sophomore QB/DB) and Blake Henry (5’11” 170 sophomore OL/DL). M-C’s third senior, Talon Peterson (5’10” 150 RB/DB), plus juniors Brenden Kerns (5’9” 160 RB/LB), Pierce Lind (6’0” 180 OL/DL), and Logan Richardson (5’9” 170 OL/DB) give the Cougars a good returning corp. M-C has 20 out (three senior, eight juniors, six sophomore, three freshman). Last year, the RushfordPeterson Trojans just missed a second straight Section title game. After beating Goodhue in the regular season, R-P fell 21-20 in the 1A semis. They finished at 6-4 (5-2 in MSE-E). Coach Davin Thompson lost three A-D guys (Noah Dahl, Kyle Weidemann, Matt Culhane). Two return. Last year’s work-horse, senior Noah Carlson heads the cast. The most dangerous player in the district, Carlson (6’1” 180 RB/S) tallied over 1,100 yards rushing and 17 total TDs a year ago (839 and 12 over final four games). Also speedy is R-P’s other returning A-D athlete, senior Lukas Rasmussen (5’9” 150 DB/WR > 4
INTs). Landon Skalet (5’9” 145 sophomore) and Landon Goree (5’11” 165 RB/LB) split quarterbacking duties a season ago. Each figure into the offensive mix. Juniors Dawson Dahl (6’1 175 RB/ Noah Carlson LB) and Jake Paulson (6’1’ 170 WR/LB) also were full-timers. Seniors Ethan Anderson (5’10” 235 OL/DL), Preston Lecy (6’1” 190 OL/DL) and Austin Brand (6’2” 180 OL/DL) will lead the trenches. The Trojans have 32 out (ten seniors, eight juniors, eleven sophomores, three freshman). For the sixth straight season, the Chatfield Gophers kept it at or above five-hundred in 2015. Jeff Johnson’s crew finished at 6-4 (5-2 in SE-White play), losing to Caledonia in a 1AA semi. The Gophers lost three A-D players (Aaron Paulson, Riley Ahern, Carter Duxbury). They return just one A-D player in the form of Parker Fossum. The sizey (6’3” 195 RB/ WR/DE) and speedy senior had a fine junior year (781 Parker Fossum rushing yards, 8 TDs; 153 receiving yards, 12 total TDs). Dillon Bance (6’0” 155 QB/ DB) returns for his second-plus year under center. He is one of four A-D HM seniors, with Kevin Bradt (5’10” 180 OL/ DL), Spencer Mandt (6’0” 210 OL/DL), and Alex Pagel (5’9” 170 TE/DL). Chatfield trenches will be plenty experienced. Justin Sexton (Sr. 6’2” 320 senior OL/DL), Isaac Thompson (Sr. 6’1” 245 OL/DL) and Cole Asleson (Jr. 6’1” 200 OL/ DL) also started last year. Jake Mandt (Jr. 5’4” 160 RB/LB), Ben Ihrke (Jr. 5’10” 165 RB/ DB), and Nick Maki (Sr. 5’9” 140 CB/WR) are back at skill positions. Chatfield has 35 out (13 seniors, nine juniors, 13 sophomores. Lanesboro football had a down year by their standards in 2015 (4-4 in S-E, 4-5 overall). A loss to Houston in the 9-man quarters concluded the Burros first sub-par season in over a decade. One A-D player (Steven Rein) graduated. James Semmen’s crew will look to re-group behind their two returning A-D guys, seniors Collin Scott (6’1” 170 RB/LB) and Cole Schwichtenberg (6’1” 170 QB/CB). Scott (840 yards, 6 TDs rushing; 346 yards, 11 total TDs) was one of the South-East’s top rushers (despite an injury). Schwichtenberg accounted for 21 total TDs (612 yards, 13 TDs rushing; 500 yards, 8 TDs passing). Jared Troendle (6’2” 280
OL/DT), an All-District HM player, Shane Sorum (6’1” 245 T/ DT) and T.J. Ruen (6’0” 255 OT/DT) are a trio of big Collin Scott seniors up-front. The Burros have just 18 out (six seniors, four juniors, five sophomores, three freshman). Houston got on the plus side of .500 last season for the first time since 2009. The Hurricanes fell to Grand Meadow in the 9-Man semis. They finished at 6-4 (5-3 S-E play). The double-H’er’s lost three All-District players (Tylor Nelson, Garrett Paulson, Jeremiah Johnson) and two HM guys (Trevor Lundberg, Nathan Lee). Dale Moga cedes the head coaching job to Cody Hungerholt. Junior Brady Happel (5’11” 165) is the squad’s returning rusher (464 yards), scorer (8 rushing TDs, 10 total TDs), and tackler. Senior Harry Chiglo (5’7” 145) returns at quarterback after an injury cost him most of his junior year. Zach Schneider (5’8 “125 junior RB/DB), Jaytin Millen (5’10” 150 sophomore RB/LB), Joey Fishel (5’11” 165 sophomore OL/DL), the squad’s second leading returning tackler, Cody Carpenter (5’10” 150 junior TE/LB) and Cullan Olson (5’8” 185 junior OL/DL) are other key experience. Houston has 35 on their roster (six seniors, nine juniors, 12 sophomores, and eight freshman). The Kingsland Knights will look for a win. They’ll look to do so for new coach, multiple year assistant, Brent Stinson. The Knights went 0-9 last season (forfeited a first round playoff game to RP). Kingsland did score double digit points in all but two played games (something that didn’t occur the previous two seasons). They lost their lone All-District player (Reece Eickhoff) to transfer. The Knights will have 31 out (eight seniors, seven juniors, eight sophomores, eight freshman) after just 23 last season. A few key players will be senior Isaac Miller (5’11” 180 OL/DL), and juniors Jackson Rindels (6’0” 160 RB/LB), Ethan Fenske (6’1” 160 QB/ FS), Matthew Woods (6’1” 195 OL/DL), and Jordan Beck (6’3” 180 OL/DL). Woods is the top returning rusher, Beck the top returning receiver.

Boys Cross Country Preview
The 2015 boys FCJ covered cross country season was headed by the exploits of a Dylan and a Dillon. Each return to head their teams in 2016. LARP runner Dylan Linder was the sole county boys state qualifier. The senior will look for an encore to a junior year where he finished top 20 in all but two races and top five four times. He finished ninth at the section 1A meet and 69th of 176 at state. He is LARP head Dylan Linder coach Matt Kingsbury’s top returner. Behind Linder (and a graduated Hunter Herber), the Tro-Cards were the highest finishing county guy’s team at the TRC Meet (5th of 10) and at Sections (12th of 23). Chatfield was next best (6th TRC, 15th Sections). Chris Frye’s top runner, junior Dillon Nolan, will look for an encore to a sophomore Dillon Nolan season that saw him finish top 20 each of his last five races (6th at TRC, 19th at Sections). Freshman Brady Woltz is another key Gopher back. LFC finished 9th (TRC) and 16th (Sections). Seniors Casey Olson and Michael Harrison are Ellen Cullen’s top returnees. Kingsland finished 10th (TRC) and 23rd (Sections). Erin Milz’s top returnee is senior Zach Buchholtz.

Following the guidelines below will help keep children safe around school buses. School Bus Safety Tips for Motorists • Motorists must stop at least 20 feet from a school bus displaying red flashing lights and/or its stop arm is extended. This is important not only when Troy H. approaching Christianson a school bus from the rear, but also when approaching the bus from the opposite direction on undivided
Page 21
roads. • Red flashing lights on buses indicates that students are either entering or exiting the bus. • Motorists are not required to stop for a bus if the bus is on the opposite side of a separated roadway (median, etc.) — but they should remain alert for children. • Altering a route or schedule to avoid a bus is one way motorists can help improve safety. In doing so, motorists won’t find themselves behind a bus, potentially eliminating risk to children. • Always reduce speeds in and around school zones. • Watch and stop for school crossings and pedestrians — the law applies to all street corners and for both marked and unmarked crosswalks (all street corners) — every corner is a crosswalk.

11 DAC clients, with seven or eight working at the store each day. “They’re very proud of their work and love to greet the customers. They love seeing familiar faces,” commented Weiss about Thrifty Threads DAC employees who hail from Harmony, Spring Valley, Wykoff, and Preston. The employees enjoy helping with the construction of the handwoven rugs for sale at the store as well. “I love the folks and the customers. I’ve watched a lot of children grow up,” said Brand about her 19 years working at Thrifty Threads. “This is a great community where

everyone’s good to our people.” The DAC strives to help its clients be as integrated and engaged in their communities as possible. Thrifty Threads helps it to reach that goal. Other employment services are available doing general janitorial work at local businesses. Each enclave, or work crew, goes out to jobs with a support person to encourage and praise them for their hard work. “We’re always looking for more work and ways to assist local businesses,” Weiss noted. A few of the work sites that the DAC currently visits are the Preston Serviceman’s Club, Preston Public Library, Eagle Bluff Learning Center, Good Earth Village, and

Gundersen Health Care. The Fillmore County DAC, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, is run by a governing board of about eight volunteer members, some of whom are long-term. They work hard to advocate strongly for what the DAC needs. “We’re proud of the many years the DAC has been in existence and of all the hard work that the direct support staff does everyday. We’re always looking for ways to recognize and thank them for their work,” Weiss remarked. The DAC’s mission statement is to provide person-centered planning and service delivery that allows for individual ability and interest in employment services, recreation, socialization, and community engagement so that all persons receiving services may maintain and improve their enjoyment and quality of life. They believe in the personal worth and dignity of every individual and work to enrich their lives and help them maintain roles as valued community members. “We provide a very necessary
Three Sisters
service to the community, and the DAC is an extremely important part of each person’s life that we serve.” Weiss went on to explain how it was originally started for children with special needs in Fillmore County, but as the public school became integrated with more services available, it turned into a program for adults ages 18 and up. “Some of the individuals have been here since they were small.” she added. “It truly is their home.” The proceeds from Thrifty Threads stay at the DAC and help to support it. “We greatly appreciate all of our customers
and donations,” Weiss expressed. The DAC is also very grateful for cash donations which help it continue to operate. Thrifty Threads is open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm. They ask that donations are gently used and of good quality to keep recycling costs down. Drop-offs are accepted during store hours although arrangements can sometimes be made if the donor can’t make it before the store closes. For more information on Thrifty Threads or the DAC, contact Lori Weiss at lweissdac@centurytel.net or (507) 765-3378.

Ladder safety should not be learned on the fly. Climbing on a ladder might be the most dangerous thing you do all year. Foot and ankle fractures can result from unsafe ladder use. Make sure you have the balance and strength to use a ladder. Take the time to secure it properly. Don’t stand above the marked level and always wear lace-up shoes or boots. Check our website for more ladder safety tips.

School Bus Safety Tips for Children Parents should discuss and demonstrate pedestrian safety with their children and reinforce safe crossing after exiting a bus: • When exiting a bus, always look to be sure no cars are passing on the shoulder (side of the road). • Make eye contact with the bus driver and cross when the driver signals that it is safe. • Look left-right-left when coming to the edge of the bus to be sure traffic is stopped. Continue to watch for changes in traffic while crossing. Traffic safety is a two-way street and everyone has an investment. You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, Minn. 55901-5848. Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@state.mn.us or Twitter: MSPPIO_SOUTH

Doug and Deb Ristau family named Fillmore County 2016 Farm Family of the Year
The Ristau Family received the Farm Family of the Year award during the recent 4-H Awards and Recognition ceremony. Pictured are, left to right: Brady, Kelsey with son Hunter Woellert, Doug, Deb and Katie Ristau. Photo by Barb Jeffers The Doug and Deb Ristau family has been named Fillmore County’s 2016 Farm Family of the Year by the University of Minnesota. Doug and Deb purchased a 320-acre farm in 1987 with a small 30-cow Herford herd, which they purchased from the previous farm owner, and were part owners of a 60-cow Holstein herd with Doug’s parents. In 1995, they began custom raising Holstein heifers for up to seven different herds. The milk cows were sold in 2000. In 2005, they put up two 1,200 herd hog finishing barns. Later, they bought Doug’s parents farm and another acreage from a neighbor. Today, D&D farms currently owns 560 acres and rents an additional 180 acres of cropland and 90 acres of pasture. They also raise 240 acres of corn, 175 of soybeans, 25 of oats and 100 acres of hay. They have 85 Sim-
mental and Simmental/Angus cross beef cows in their spring calving herd and 35 in the fall calving herd. All three of their children have a registered Simmental herd which they care for and show at various shows in the state. Doug and Deb also custom raise about 600 pigs a year and have a small 20-ewe sheep flock. Each family member has a say in the major day to day activities along with the purchasing of bulls and cows. Doug is responsible for the daily chores, planting, spraying, hauling, drying and baling of crops. Deb has a full-time job for Fillmore County and also does a lot of the combining in the fall and chores for the sheep. Kelsey (daughter) knows most of the cows by heart and is responsible for most of the recordkeeping on them. Katie (daughter) helps with the crop decisions and
