“The years have gone by fast,” comments Roy, noting that not only has he had repeat customers for years and eventually customers’ children, but in some cases he is on the fourth generation of cutting hair in families. Roy has customers that come from near and far to get their hair cut. Gary Christopherson of Eyota, Minn., has been coming to Roy’s Barber Shop for about 30 years and enjoys visiting with Roy during his cuts. Bernie Nelson, of Byron, Minn., has been a customer of Roy’s for approximately 40 years and says he not only comes for a haircut but also for what he calls “therapy,” which he explains is not gossip, “because what we say is true,” he says with a smile. Roy offers other services beyond haircuts, including zipper repair, small upholstery Come Enjoy Music!

across the street from his current location, as he notes, “I bought out Jim Rogers, who was a well established barber, and had a shop in the front of the movie theatre,” and Roy remained in that location until the fall of 1979 when he moved to 123 Main St. S. When asked what has been the best part of his work, Roy says it’s the public, as he enjoys talking with people and getting to know them. “It’s been an interesting occupation,” says Roy, adding, “I got to meet a lot of wonderful people,” then laughs and states, “sure, now and then you come across an unpleasant person,” but when that happens, “you just move faster,” he chuckles. There may be some gossip that goes on in the barber shop, but Roy says, “I keep that to myself,” saying, “what you hear here stays here,” so no worrying about conversations traveling to the local coffee shops!

Roy Lange of Roy’s Barber Shop in Chatfield, Minn., is just a shave away from celebrating 50 years as a barber. January 2, 2017 will mark 50 years since Roy and his twin brother, Ray graduated from barber school. “It was brother Ray’s idea,” states Roy, explaining that while both were working in Lake City, Minn., machining engine pistons for Gould, Ray said, “You and I should be looking for a cleaner line of work,” and he thought barber school would be a good fit for both of them. The two attended barber school in the twin cities and rented a small apartment ten blocks away. The apartment was on the tenth floor and had a murphy bed that came out of the wall. “The nice thing about it was you never had to make the bed,” Roy says, laughing. The furnished apartment with all utilities included was $70 a month. After graduating from barber school in 1967, Roy served a year-and-a-half apprenticeship in White Bear Lake, Minn., while his brother completed his apprenticeship in Redwing, Minn., before the two were ready to set out on their own. In March of 1969, the two brothers each bought a barber shop on the same day. Ray bought his shop in Spring Valley, Minn. in the morning, paying $1,200, according to Roy. That afternoon Roy bought his shop in Chatfield for $1,500. Roy’s original location was

Rushford Village hits at completion for south Rushford project By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The Rushford Village council, and residents of South Rushford, are patiently awaiting completion of infrastructure upgrades that are part of a $878,000 improvement project. A long time coming, the project was aimed at continuing efforts to get the city’s paved roadways back to maintainable conditions and includes substantial roadwork in South Rushford. However, the project has been sluggish and the contract’s official substantial completion date of September 17 is rapidly approaching. “Everybody here in this room is a little concerned that

McHugh isn’t going to be able to meet the deadline,” stated Project Engineer Josh Pope, of Bolton & Menk. Pope conceded that additions to the project were made, including a culvert and widening on Highway 43/ Whitmore Street, as well as the reconfiguring and paving of the Nordic Lane cul-de-sac paving. Weather has also hampered the project, but both the city and residents have seen a noticeable absence by the contractor on the project site. “In terms of resident feedback, there again, everybody that’s been impacted shares the frustration that the project has gone on this long,” added Pope.

jobs like tractor seats and small truck seats, as well as clock repair. Roy, the “senior businessman” of Chatfield, was recently named honorary grand marshal of Chatfield’s Western Days parade, where he and his wife Kathy enjoyed a ride in the parade. “Nobody has been here as long as I have,” says Roy, adding, “goes to show if you stick around long enough you get to the top of the pile,” he says in his usual lighthearted manner. Things have certainly changed since Roy attended barber school, as he says, “The barbering occupation is a dying breed,” saying there are “very few barbers anymore” compared to when he began in the profession. “There are only three barber schools in Minnesota - two in the cities and one in St. Cloud,” and, “they can’t even

keep the schools full”, says Roy because “tuition is awful high,” making it more difficult for anyone interested in becoming a barber. “Tuition is $10,500 for nine months of schooling” notes Roy saying “when Ray and I went it was $666,” and the barber school they attended only lasted six months. Roy, 73, says he and his brother thought they would retire at age 80, but they may have to keep working beyond that now according to Roy, because “there is a barber out east that is 103 and still cutting hair two days a week” and if he can do it so can the Lange brothers. However long Roy continues cutting hair, he will undoubtedly always have a full appointment book.

Powell receives 2016 Established Artist Grant Lane Powell of Harmony has been awarded the 2016 Established Artist grant through the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council (SEMAC)! Individual artists are eligible to apply for this award every three years. Mr. Powell last received this award through the McKnight Foundation back in 2013. Since that time, the composer has completed six other private concert band commissions for Minnesota schools. All of them were created to highlight and honor a specific cause or group in Minnesota. This project is a concert band composition titled “Spiritual Reflections.” The piece will be between four to five minutes in length and be contemporary in nature. The music and accompanying program notes will celebrate the story of where we live in the 11 county SEMAC region, the band programs and parent support groups that play a vital role in our area schools and communities, and the spirit of the students and
other musicians who are part of these groups. The music is to be based on the concept of light reflections on the water, reflections of the positive attributes in school music groups, and the spiritual reflections of those in the school and community. This idea was created after the composer learned of the anniversary of the Lake City Band and Band Parent Group and the untimely death of one of its band members during their summer marching season, Kaite Goihl. Throughout these events, the community and band have demonstrated a shining spirit in their resilience. This is a way to honor this community, while providing an outlet for other communities in the SEMAC region to do the same with their own performances at a later date. All school band programs in the region will receive a copy of the score and parts to supplement their school music libraries free of
charge. The capstone event will be a world premiere performance of the work by the Lake City High School Concert Band on Thursday, March 23, 2017. The collaborating director from Lake City is Mr. Paul Holland. “I am extremely humbled to receive this award,” Powell said, “and am eager to collaborate with Mr. Holland and the Lake City community on this project. Special thanks and recognition should go to the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council and local arts boards for their continued support of the creation of new art in our area.” “Music composition is something I enjoy doing in my free time. It provides an outlet for my creativity. Some people read, write journals, paint, etc. - I write music for bands, while hoping to help other people in any way I can.” Mr. Powell is employed at Harmony Enterprises, a global waste solutions company in Harmony, Minn.

C ommentary Social media’s challenge to democracy By Lee Hamilton I’ve been involved in politics for the better part of a lifetime, and have spoken at a lot of public meetings over the years. There’s one question, I think, that I’ve heard more than Lee H. any other: “If Hamilton I want to be an informed citizen, which sources of information should I consult?” For many years, I had a set answer for this. Read one or more of the respected national news sources, I’d respond: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, the Financial Times, The Economist, etc. I’m not sure how good that answer was at the time, but I know for certain it would be woefully inadequate now. Younger people, in particular, get far more of their information from social media than from traditional news
sources. The internet and social media have upended our expectations of what it means to be well informed. Platforms and websites that take advantage of online and mobile connectivity are like a firehose, providing enormous quantities of information, opinion, news, statements, videos, images, analysis, charts, graphs — all of it instantly available. Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and other platforms have become the way many of our citizens communicate. They have become a force for mobilizing large groups of people to apply political pressure on short notice. The question is, what impact does this have on the public dialogue, and on representative democracy? Clearly, these are powerful tools. As the rise of the Tea Party and the alarm over price increases for the EpiPen demonstrate, they can galvanize large, energetic groups of people who oppose a specific target. They make more informa-
The great American stew pot By Eric Leitzen I was once told that the old idea of the “American Melting Pot” was a little... off. In reality, I was told, America is more like a stew: each of the ingredients add something to the entire ensemble, but overall retain their own structure. Eric Leitzen America is much the same, with little outEditorial Cartoon
posts of culture here and there because America doesn’t force assimilation. Where you might see some potato or carrot, you see the Amish, the Norwegians, and us cranky Krauts. What makes America so great is that we don’t force the whole stew into a blender, because any cook can tell you trying to put hot stew into a blender will just make it explode. If you must blend a stew, either wait for it to cool down or use an immersion blender. It may take longer, and you actually have to
tion quickly available from more sources. They make it possible for users to do their own factchecking (I can tell you, it’s quite intimidating as a speaker to watch members of the audience checking up on what you just said). They allow people to get into the action and take part in political dialogue. They give citizens multiple ways to engage the attention and interest of policy makers — and give policy makers multiple ways to gauge public opinion and seek to understand the interests and needs of constituents. They’ve brought new groups into the public dialogue who were not there before, adding fresh voices to the process and broadening our understanding of what it means to be American. But if information has become more ubiquitous and powerful, so has misinformation. It spreads rapidly, passed along from user to user with no check. Posts tend to have no room for nuance; arguments can be explosive and arguers aggressive; drama and hysteria plunge into the thick of things, but at least there won’t be an explosion. You can’t expect the stew to go by your timeline or your personal wants, unless you want boiling liquid on your ceiling... and maybe some people do. So you have your ingredients, and you prepare them: you first partially cook some of the ingredients with a little oil, add what will become the gravy, and leave it on to cook for a long time. If you’re patient, you have an amazing dish... but what if someone looked at that stew pot and said, “I bet I can do it better” by gussying it up?
fuel polarization; special interests can’t help but take advantage of the context-free nature of social media. All of this makes it far more difficult for policy makers to sift through everything coming their way on any given topic. If a significant portion of the information that’s available consists of misleading graphs, false facts, misstatements, and outright lies, the process of arriving at good policy becomes fragile and laden with traps. Which is why the sheer quantity of information bestowed on us by social media does not necessarily improve the quality of public dialogue. It does not always help citizens make good choices. And that’s really the key question: Does the ubiquity of information available through social media really help citizens understand complex issues, weigh competing arguments, and reach discriminating judgments about politics? Or does it overwhelm them with bursts of information that is so mixed as to quality that people simply throw up their hands — or,
worse, charge full-tilt ahead based on a false understanding of reality? The answer, of course, is that it’s a mixed bag. The jury’s still out on whether we’re becoming better citizens because we have more information and opinion at our fingertips. Certainly, the information world we live in today is putting more stress on individual voters to make discriminating choices and on our representative democracy, which rests on institutions that were designed in the 18th and 19th centuries. Our political process has proved resilient over centuries, and has served us well. But social media pose a powerful challenge. They’ve brought great gifts and equally great risks, and we’d be prudent to be cautious. 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.
What if someone saw a perfectly delicious, if humble, dish and decided it needed more? What would being greedy in this kitchen get you? Let’s say this person wants to add a buttery crust to the top of this stew, making it more like a Great American Pot Pie. Now, there’s nothing wrong with a pot pie, in theory, and I’m sure we all appreciate a good crust/ gravy combination. The only problem is that the crust is going to take some time to make, so you’ll have to try to speed up the cooking on your filling to make up for it. So you take the 90% on the bottom and turn up the heat. In making this crust, you had to cut some of the butter out of the stew beneath. Now, the meat or the vegetables get burned, but that’s okay, this person says, because the crust will make it all worth it. It’ll be so decadent, such a sight to be seen, that everyone will forget if the stuff underneath it is slightly burnt. There’s just one problem: in this person’s quest to make the crust the envy of all, he added too much butter. To be blunt, the upper crust is too rich. As a result, putting in the oven will yield disaster: the crust will fall apart, and the stew underneath will boil up from the bottom, only speeding the destruction of the upper crust. Soon, instead of a tasty treat, you have an oily mess because the ingredients weren’t distributed properly. In this person’s quest to make something that looked super cool and fancy, it all ended in mushy, burnt nastiness. So don’t always try to reinvent the wheel. Make sure your Great American Stew Pot
gets enough oil, and don’t send it all to the top. If you must have an upper crust (and you can, that’s okay) make sure you make it of strong stuff, and go easy on the richness. It might turn out to be a teeny bit tougher up there on the top, but it’s worth it to not have an underneath on fire and an upper crust that can’t support its own weight. It’s a recipe for disaster from the get-go, no matter how badly you want it to succeed. I know that sounds a little harsh, but it needs to be said, because when you have soggy, oily mush on top of burned filling, no one wins and, if you leave it the heat in long enough, hoping that will help re-form the upper crust... then everything winds up burned in the end.

C ommentary Letter about response to Haugerud letter... To the Editor, Erika Haugerud is entitled to her opinions, but she can’t make up her own facts. Her recent letter tried to suggest State Representative Greg Davids doesn’t work with members of both parties. This is untrue. Davids put together a tax relief bill this session that was supported by 89% of Republicans and Democrats in the Legislature - including every DFL senator. That’s the definition of being bipartisan. If not for a governor who puts politics over people and vetoed a tax bill over light rail, we’d all be seeing the results of Davids’ hard work.

Haugerud also appears to be a big light rail supporter, and actually makes the claim that rural Minnesota wouldn’t have to pay for the Southwest Light Rail line that derailed a special session for tax relief, bonding, and road and bridge funding. Erika, do you know where the money comes from to construct, maintain, and repair light rail lines from here til eternity? Minnesota’s taxpayers. All of them, not just Metro. It cannot be denied that Governor Dayton killed your tax relief for farmers, small business owners, college graduates and working families over light rail. It cannot be denied that rural tax dollars will be used to fund Minneapolis light rail. And it cannot be denied that State Representative Greg Davids continues to fight for the needs of Fillmore and Houston counties, and has done so by working with members of both parties. Facts are facts, and Erika Haugerud’s letter was not only misleading but simply untrue. Sincerely, Doug Baker Lanesboro, MN

According to Pope, the contractor has left the site temporarily or has at least been unseen. “There’s a lot they could have been working on that they have not,” said Councilor Rich Smith, a South Rushford resident. “I haven’t seen them anywhere. That’s the biggest complaint I’ve heard. It was a nice week. Where are they? Why aren’t they working?” “Not including possible weather increases, they probably are due some increase to that date,” added Pope. “But,
even with that said, we issued a notice to the contractor this morning that, ‘Hey, we are concerned and please be aware that should you not meet contractual obligation, there is a clause of liquidated damages, which for this project is $850 per day. It’s not a penalty; it’s a recognized damage recovery.” Pope explained to the council that this method protects the contractor through awareness of contract parameters and consequences and it serves the city by recovering financial damages for lack of completion. He indicated it is difficult to quantify the damage, so reason-
Monday, September 12, 2016 able damage estimate amounts are determined pre-bid. Wherever the date is determined, for every day the project is not substantially complete, the city will recover $850 per day via deductions to the contract amount. “We’re hopeful that if nothing else, it grabs their attention. We do feel that they should act accordingly. It’s still achievable,” continued Pope. “We were all told by the contractor at the end of May that we expect the project to be done in mid-July and here we sit. That’s where the concern certainly lies on our part.”

As for project standings, Pope indicated that concrete contractor Knuston Construction Services, of Rochester, has been secured by McHugh. “We were told they were going to start work today, but they held off for the weather. We have our fingers crossed that we’ll see them on site to do concrete the work,” said Pope. Upon concrete completion, another subcontractor will be mobilized and brought in by McHugh to reclaim the specified roadways, followed by paving. The final completion date for the project is October 1. After that date, there are still

liquidated damages, but at a reduced rate. “There are steps and policies in place within the contract to see this thing moving along. If they don’t, there is recourse there. We do feel they can meet their deadline, we’re just very hopeful they take the appropriate action to meet all of that,” stated Pope. In other news, the city has set the preliminary budget for 2017 at $425,000, including $20,000 in Local Government Aid. According to City Clerk Mary Miner, it’s likely that the city will come in a little under budget for 2016. The city will See RUSHFORD VILLAGE Page 10

RUSHFORD VILLAGE
County to trim 2017 Budget
set the final levy amount in December. The city has been approached by Jen Hengel, representing the Rushford Peterson Valley Chamber of Commerce, regarding a grant that’s being submitted by the Root River Trail Towns. The grant is being coordinated with Fillmore County Public Health and is aimed at securing funding for a community bike program. If the Village participates, it will be the fifth of the nine trail towns to do so. The $3,000 per city program makes bikes available for rent by visitors and residents over the age of 18 to increase outdoor recreation and mobility. It includes bike, helmets, racks, and $500 budget for bike maintenance. Bikes are rented and then returned to same town in which they were checked out. For collateral, user’s credit card information is collected. An option to hold user’s driver’s licenses is being looked at for cities without merchant credit card processing capabilities. “I had three people ask this morning that have asked if we have bikes for rent,” stated Hengel. The Rushford Public Library board willing to take on lending program for bikes, as it isn’t an option for the Chamber to take on responsibility of the lending portion. If the Village approves participation in the grant application, it would be submitted in October and the bikes would arrive next spring. The Village will wait until the next meeting to make a formal decision. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, September 20, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
By Karen Reisner At the September 6 meeting of the county board, the commissioners, by consensus, set a goal to limit the levy increase to less than 6 or 7%. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman reviewed preliminary numbers for 2017. Vickerman said based on what each of the departments presented, before any changes are figured in, the levy increase could potentially be over 15%, or about $1.4 million. She called it a beginning point. Chairman Marc Prestby maintained, “I’m not in favor of a double digit increase.” To get from 15% to about 6% will involve some tough decisions. Commissioner Randy Dahl commented that there have been several really lean years when the board kept the levy increase near 0. This put off doing some things that will have to be done. The levy increase last year was about 5%. Vickerman explained the county’s phone system can not be repaired as it is, and if it goes down, it will have to be replaced. Commissioner Duane Bakke said if we don’t budget for that possibility and the phone system goes down, funds to replace it will come out of infrastructure reserves. The board will approve the preliminary levy on September 27. From that point they can reduce the levy, but not increase it before

approving the final budget and levy in December. County program aid will be $604,428, or a $67,816 increase from last year. Commissioner Harry Root raised the issue of safety and card readers. He asked if anything is going to be allocated for security? Vickerman noted that the Sheriff’s budget includes about $72,000 for a full-time employee for the courthouse. Commissioner Mitch Lentz commented that you can’t secure a building with several entrances with one person with a gun. Card readers to secure the entrances would probably come out of the infrastructure budget which has been used for tuckpointing county buildings this last year. The proposed budget for the infrastructure fund showed a 43% increase. The sanitation fund also shows about a 60% increase which, in part, could pay for a compactor to save on transportation costs over the long term. The EDA fund proposal had the largest percent increase, including money to support AcenTek applications to secure state grant funds for rural broadband in the greater Lanesboro and/or Rushford areas. Using reserves for this purpose will reduce See COUNTY Page 11

the proposed levy by 1.5%. If AcenTek secures the grant money, the company will pay the county back over several years, replenishing the reserves. Human Services has the second largest budget, with a proposal to have a 15% increase for 2017. Vickerman said she worked with Public Health, Social Services, and Veterans on their budgets. She praised all of them for the work they did on the budgets. She added that they are doing a great job making sure we get our dollars back through reimbursements when possible. It was noted that federal reimbursements have been reduced over the last few years. Vickerman stated that they have cut quite a bit from Human Services already and if they cut more they will have to determine if there is a service that isn’t required.
Citizens input Bonita Underbakke, Holt Township, expressed her dismay at the board’s intention to make significant cuts in proposed budgets. She encouraged the board to make decisions for a healthy, strong future and to be willing to fund it. Underbakke suggested that commissioners are too concerned about their own reelections, if they were to raise taxes. She ended her statement asking them to “fund our needs for a healthy future.” Other business in brief • Approval was given to pay $52,596 to Zuercher Law Enforcement Technology Group (LETG) for in squad software and professional services.

Fillmore County Sports The Cougar Redundancy Principle By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal. com The last time a Mabel-Canton volleyball team started the season with a loss in their first ten games was 2010. Thus, it wasn’t any surprise ( r e d u n - The Trende Report dant) the #3 Cougars won a two hands-full without a blemish. They beat G-E 25-4, 25-6, 25-8 Paul Trende (Coranda Vickerman 15 assists, 7 digs, 3 aces; Savannah Slafter 8 kills; Dakota Delaney 6 kills; Courtney Graves 5 kills; Lexi Thorson 5 kills, 4 aces; Payton Danielson 17-18 serving, 5 aces; Kenidi McCabe 9 assists, 12-12 serving, 6 aces). Last year’s SECWest champion Schaeffer Academy fell 25-18, 25-23, 25-11 (Slafter 12 kills, 10 digs; Vickerman 16 assists, 11 kills, 10 digs; Danielson 11 digs, 17-17 serving, 2 aces). M-C then handled things at their Labor Day Tourney. Of their six pool play matches, only Grand Meadow made 20. The Cougars swept GM (25-18, 28-26), Cotter (25-9, 25-15), Brainerd (25-16, 25-10), Waukon (25-9, 25-11), R-P (25-12, 25-15), and Spring Grove (25-17, 25-16). The final saw the Cougars go over the Larks (headed by former M-C stand-out Tori Lind-Burmester) in straight sets (25-16, 25-9). Tourney leaders were: Vickerman (56 kills, 88 assists), Slafter (50 kills, hit .500, 41
digs), Danielson (38 digs, 12 aces), Thorson (51 assists, 36 digs), and McCabe (36 digs, 10 aces). The wins moved the Cougars to 3-0, 10-0 on the year. Vickerman surpassed 2,000 career assists.
‘Canes Comeback Highlights Week One Football
The first week of football saw many of the games go down as tentatively planned. The best game saw Houston pull a double-digit fourth quarter comeback versus Randolph. The team exchanges scores and two’s (8-0, 8-8, 16-8, 16-16) to start. An Andrew Wenstrom to Carsyn Gunderson 14-yard TD pass gave the Rockets a 22-16 halftime lead. A Charlie Willie 9-yard TD run put the Rockets up two scores, 28-16, heading to the fourth. But Houston seniors Harry Chiglo and Wesley Johnson hooked up early in the quarter on a 56-yard scoring pass. Chiglo’s 2-point run made it 28-24. Midway thru the stanza, Joey Fishel’s 6-yard run put the ‘Canes ahead. A Johnson interception sealed things a bit later. The Hurricanes avenged a 2-point loss last year (10-8) with a two-point win this year. The final was 30-28. Chiglo (4-9, 129 yards, TD, INT passing; 14-47, 2 TDs rushing), Fishel (23-95, TD rushing) and Johnson (2-80, TD receiving; INT) keyed the double-H attack. Wenstrom (13-23, 213 yards, 2 TDs, INT, 18-89 rushing), Willie (27-67, 2 TDs rushing), and Brandon Ratzlaff (8-182, TD receiving) led the Rockets. First downs were 15 apiece. Yardage was close; Houston 342 total yards (213 rushing, 129 passing),
Randolph 369 total yards (156 rushing, 213 passing).
Burros Burn to 3-0
It wasn’t that long ago Lanesboro volleyball struggled to win. Now, they are as formidable as any (save M-C) in the SEC. The black and orange burned thru a pair of league foes to start the season 3-0. Randolph fell 25-12, 25-11, 25-15. Seniors Haley Polin (11 kills, 3 aces), Lexi Melander (27 assists, 21-21 serving, 5 aces), and Cassidy Ruud (8 kills, 16 digs), junior Joelie Schreiber (6 kills, 3 aces) cued the charge. Lanesboro then took down one of the three SEC teams they lost to a season ago. The Burros trekked to Lyle and fought past the Athletics 27-25, 25-18, 18-25, and 28-26. Lanesboro trailed set four 24-22. Melander (24 assists, 13 digs), Ruud (7 kills, 19 digs), and Schreiber (7 kills, 3 aces) led the way. First year Coach Julie Schreiber is thus far undefeated (3-0).
Falcons Fight thru Scheduling
It wasn’t out of the question FC volleyball could start the year 0-3. Their opening opponents combined for 58 wins a year ago (returned good players). Two beat FC in 2015. But after a loss to ranked Hayfield, Travis Malley’s girls notched two good TRC wins. Downing last year’s co-league champion W-K (in Wabasha) was big. FC rallied to win 3-1 after a tough game one (12-25, 25-21, 25-21, 25-13). Senior Kenzie Broadwater led the way (team-high 13 kills and 23 digs). Paige Bennett (8 kills), Kaelyn Marzolf, Cailey Rindels, and Kelsey Berg (7 kills each) gave FC great ‘O’ balance. Tayah Barnes (22 digs, 16-16 serving, 2 aces) and Paige
Donlinger (16 digs) defended while Bailey Barnes (22 assists, 11 digs) and Madison Scheevel (19 assists) keyed the 6-2 attack. FC then went thru R-P 25-21, 25-16, and 25-14, avenging a sweep last season. FC finished set one on an 11-2 run (annulled a 19-14 R-P lead). Broadwater again led the way (8 kills, 12 digs, 13-13 serving, 2 aces). P-Bennett (4 kills, 18-18 serving, 5 aces) was FC’s best server. T-Barnes was busy defensively (16 digs). B-Barnes (12 assists) and Scheevel (10 assists) did the setting. Kensay Clobes (6 kills), Ashley Agrimson (6 kills), Savannah Skalet (18 assists, 7 digs, 3 aces), and Mikayla Crawford (9 digs) led R-P. Top hitter Brianna Koop sat out (injury). The Falcons are 2-0, 2-1.
Hot Shots
Weston Whalen, Talon Peterson, and Brenden Kerns topped the century-mark rushing and scored twice as M-C’s line manhandled LeRoy-Ostrander in a 48-20 win. R-P’s defense yielded zero points on three BP first half red zone possessions, Noah Carlson rushed four TDs (178 yards), and sophomore Landon Skalet completed seven of his eight passes for first downs, as the Trojans beat BP 26-6. Riley Means accounted for both Falcons scores (63-yard TD run) as FC nipped JWP 14-6. LFC girls cross country finished 11th of 28 at the large-school St. Olaf High School Showcase. Nine of ten teams ahead of LFC were Class AA. The Burros five runners each finished top 100 (480-girl field). Savannah Skalet and Kensay Clobes combined for 16 aces as R-P beat L-A. Amber Chapel had 12 ½ blocks in a Houston loss to L/P. Ariel Scanlan stuffed the stat sheet (8 kills, 22 digs, 13 assists, 29-31 serving, 4 aces) in Hurricane 3-2 loss to GM.

With the beginning of the new school year, Chatfield Elementary School is excited to implement our new visitor management software. We will be using the Raptor software to check visitors in and out of the building. This software will scan a visitors driver’s license or other state issue ID and Raptor will instantly screen for registered sex offenders in all 50 states and can also screen individuals with restraining orders and custody issues. When a visitor is cleared, Raptor prints a badge featuring the visitor’s name, photo, date and time, and destination. This is one other way for us to be sure your children are safe at school. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the elementary office.
Please join us on Saturday, September 10 for the final movie in the park! It is looking beautiful with sun and 73 degrees. Please join us in City Park for

Preston Historical Society announces raffle winners
A little of this, A little of that. By Kathy Little The dreaded invitation on fine paper with a beautiful bluejay arrived in the mail today. I knew it was coming, but I had done my best Scarlett O’Hara, “I’ll think about that tomorrow” routine for a couple of weeks! Now there was no denying it any longer! My options flashed through my brain. I was certainly attending this milestone class reunion, but there were a few problems. I knew that a facelift or Botox injections were out of my price range and pain tolerance. I knew I didn’t have enough discipline to lose 20 pounds. That left me with only ONE option: find the perfect outfit that would make me look younger, thinner, taller, and very sophisticated. When I asked my husband, who was in the same class, what he was wearing, he replied with a straight face, ”Clothes.” Then he fled, avoiding another rant about my wardrobe woes. Janet Jackson may have had a “wardrobe malfunction” during a Super Bowl game, but I have had “wardrobe train wrecks” in the past. One occurred in 9th grade home economics class when we had to sew a dress and model it at a style show. My “C+” creation was a percale purple floral dress with a round neckline, puffy sleeves and rows and rows of rick-rack. I wore the dress only once in the style show and then used that dress as dust rags. With that humiliation in
mind, I decided a marathon shopping expedition was needed until I found the perfect outfit. After explaining some of this to my husband, he replied, “Calm down. Nobody really looks at what old women wear.” He meant this to be comforting! It did not work. After literally several days of shopping in La Crosse, Winona, and Rochester, I was exhausted and frustrated. What to do? I felt like Chicken Little waiting for the sky to fall. Perhaps someone would cancel the reunion due to age related problems. Highly unlikely, because most of my classmates seemed like hearty, healthy folks. Maybe I could go to a counseling session to relieve my anxiety and rebuild my self-esteem. Then I remembered that I was a counselor! Maybe I could counsel myself. I decided to become philosophical about this situation. Maybe other classmates had the same worries. With luck, they would show some signs of aging, too. Maybe other classmates just wanted to relive their youth by coming together after much time had passed. With this in mind I came up with this recipe.
The Preston Historical Society conducted the drawing for the winners of the recent raffle fundraiser at their August Society meeting. Proceeds from the raffle will be used for Historical Society projects. The Society would again like to thank F & M Community Bank for providing matching funds of $1,000 (a dollar for each ticket sold).

- Bentzen
I would like to thank all
who kept me in their prayers and wished me well during surgery to remove a brain tumor (pituitary) and eight-day stay at the Mpls. VA Hospital. I want to especially thank my mom, Bettie Gulbranson, my girlfriend, Jen Huiras, and my daughter, Ashley Miller for the long hours and watching over me. I will never forget them for it. I began treatment at Olmsted Medical but the expenses were huge and my insurance company decided not to pay them. I was able to eventually get into the VA Hospital. It will be a long road to fully recover and I will be out of work for quite some time. So, friends convinced me to open an account to help with expenses. It is
Recipe for a Relaxing Reunion
Do not wear a Spandex body suit to make yourself look slimmer unless you plan never to eat, drink, or sit down at the reunion You will need to take several shallow breaths just to talk. Do not wear extremely provocative (skimpy) clothing or dye your hair the color of the rainbow unless you enjoy that kind of notoriety. Do not talk about your recent safari to Africa or your trip to the Great Wall of China unless you are willing to allot equal time to listening to a fellow classmate talk about his recent vacation to Wisconsin Dells. Do not talk about the upkeep on your vacation villa in Italy or condo in Paris unless you are willing to allot equal time to listening to a fellow classmate talk about repainting his one residence in Minnesota. Do not wear all six pieces of your diamond jewelry to the reunion. Most of us will assume they must be fake. Do not show more than five or six pictures of your wildly successful, multi-talented, falling down gorgeous children and grandchildren unless you are willing to extend that courtesy to other classmates who have equally successful, talented, gorgeous children and grandchildren. Braggers, bullies, and whiners often had to play alone on the elementary playground. Those personalities do not improve with age. DO listen sincerely to classmates for 5 to 10 minutes. If they go on longer, politely excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. No one will question this excuse since we all need to use the restroom more often as we age. Remember, kindness, compassion, and a good sense of humor never go out of style. These classmates were your very first friends. Remember the good times.

Preston discusses 2017 budget By Karen Reisner City Administrator Joe Hoffman presented some possible adjustments to the 2017 budget at the city council’s September 6 meeting. Councilman Dave Harrison was absent. The initial draft of the budget was discussed at the August 23 meeting with a $54,000 levy increase over last year, or 6.77%. Hoffman noted there was no increase in health insurance premiums, but none had been figured into the initial draft of the budget. Hoffman’s adjustments would leave the operating budget unchanged, but would make adjustments to the bond payment for the Twenty-14 Improvement project. There is a $129,282 project surplus available from the Twenty-14 project. He admitted there usually is not this large of a surplus. Any surplus is usually left in the debt service account to bring down payments on the bond over the life of the bond. Using the surplus over a period of years keeps the payments level. Using the surplus in this way would allow the bond payment of over $153,000 from levy dollars in 2017 to be reduced. Other monies that will go toward the total bond payment include assessments and sewer, storm water and water fees. Hoffman suggested adjustments could bring the total levy for the Twenty-14 project for 2017 to $112,167. However, he went on to explain that the storm water account, is in deficit. He outlined
three options for the storm water account, including raising storm water fees, levying funds for the storm water account or allowing it to run in deficit. If $22,028 was levied for the storm water account and all the other changes he listed were made, the levy increase for 2017 would be 4.32%. Hoffman had one more item for the council to think about. He questioned whether they should levy for repairs to city hall and/ or the Dairy and Farm project. If $20,000 were levied for one or both of these projects, the levy increase for 2017 would be back to about 6.5%. Hoffman said the architect hired for city hall repairs requested quotes for a new roof, EIFS (insulation and stucco) on the north wall, and a new metal canopy. Plans went to a variety of contractors last week and quotes are due on September 15. The quotes should be discussed at the next meeting. Funds could come out of the Capital Reserve fund. Hoffman suggested they may need to bump that fund up and discussed possibly replenishing the fund by levying $45,000 each year. No action was taken this day on the budget. The preliminary levy will have to be approved by the end of September. It can be lowered but not raised before approving the final budget and levy late in the year.

coordinator for the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, updated the council on SMIF projects. She noted this year is the 30th anniversary of the non-profit. They are committed to helping the workforce and the future workforce through their programs for early childhood and economic development. SMIF provides training for home-based child care providers. In 2015, they supported the Driftless Fly Fishing Company in Preston. SMIF’s efforts in community development help keep small towns moving forward. Starting in July, SMIF will focus more on rural and small communities. Hoffman said we certainly appreciate the participation of SMIF with the Preston Community Foundation. The city has allocated $500 to SMIF each year for over a decade. Councilmen Charles Sparks and Robert Maust said we get a lot more back than we pay in. The council voted to increase the allocation to $750 for 2016. • Hoffman reported that MnDot has inquired about a possible settlement of the dispute over the outstanding invoice from 2005. The city’s final cost for the Highway 52 project was $762,454. The city paid to MnDot $686,204. The balance is $76,250. The final bill was submitted years after the completion of the project and the council felt the statute of limitations had run out. Of the balance not paid, over $56,000 was for MnDot engineering and about $20,000 was do to changes made. MnDot has suggested working out an agreement
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
where most of the engineering would be written off. Any payment is 30% the responsibility of the city and 70% Preston Public Utilities. By consensus the council asked Hoffman to work out an agreement with MnDot. Hoffman discussed two scenarios concerning a future street project for 2018 or for 2020. Waiting until 2020 will see a reduction of other debt payments. However, delaying the project longer may result in increased costs and increased interest. No action was taken. • Police Chief Matt Schultz recommended the replacement of his current vehicle (2007) that has transmission issues with a used 2014 Impala costing about $14,000 (24,000 miles). This would allow the replacement of his vehicle without increasing the annual funding for squad replacements. The purchase of the used vehicle was approved. • A resolution adopting an ordinance to opt-out of the state statute for temporary family health care dwellings (granny pods) was
Page 21
approved as recommended by Planning and Zoning. Councilman David Collett voted no. Hoffman said the state law effectively overrides local zoning ordinances. If there is interest in allowing these kind of mobile dwellings, the normal process to change the zoning ordinance will have to be followed. • A request from Aaren Mathison to close the 400 block of Spring St. NW and the 300 block of Franklin St. NW for a block party on September 25 from noon to 8 p.m. was approved. • The recent Thursday storm that clocked the worst winds in 15 to 20 years was discussed. There was a lot of damage around Preston, including power poles. Crews worked through the night. Hoffman praised them for their work and their good attitude. Mayor Kurt Reicks noted there were a lot of positive comments from the public. Hoffman encouraged people to call in power outages, as they rely on phone calls to get any outages on a list to be repaired.

Lanesboro holds public hearing to discuss granny pods By Hannah Wingert A public hearing to discuss the Minnesota Statute for “granny pods” was held prior to the Lanesboro City Council meeting on September 6 at 5:15 p.m. Each Minnesota city can choose to opt out of the state ordinance allowing granny pods. EDA member Michael Brown pointed out that Lanesboro’s ordinance regarding situations like the granny pod one is 27-years-old and outdated. “The ordinance seems to be designed to drive people out of the community,” he said, noting that Lanesboro does not have any assisted living facilities. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously agreed that it would be in Lanesboro’s best interests to opt out and rewrite the old ordinance to be specific to the city’s needs. The first public hearing was closed and a second one was opened to discuss the proposed improvements to Lanesboro city streets Auburn Avenue South between Whittier Street East and Zenith Street, Circle Drive between Auburn Avenue South and its eastern terminus, and Zenith Street between Auburn Avenue South and the eastern intersection of Maple Drive. Before the floor was opened for comments, Mayor Krom asked City Administrator Michele Peterson to address a flyer that had been circulating Lanesboro with misinformation about the cost of the street improvements and the affected number of citizens. The project will benefit 63 parcels in the affected area, and taxes will not be doubling as a result of the project. Peterson went on to say that there is currently a total of 757 Lanesboro residents with 376 households. Brian Malm of Bolten and Menk reviewed the proposed project with the council and visitors to the meeting and presented several alternatives. He was also able to conduct a neighborhood meeting several weeks ago and address concerns from residents. The project is split into two phases which could be done as one project or in different years. The alternatives to the project to bring costs down were narrowing the road, which would not allow for on-street parking or doing a mill and overlay, which would merely defer the project for another 10-15 years. Lanesboro resident Peggy Hanson pointed out that the map showing the condition of the streets in Lanesboro indicated that there are other areas in need of repair as well and asked how the city plans to address that. She also asked why the residents in the project repair area were only being assessed 20% instead of the standard 35%. Peterson replied that, due to some of the larger lots in the area, it was more logical to assess at a lower rate and also noted that nothing is set in stone yet. Another member of the audience asked what would happen if nothing were done with the streets in question and was told that if no improvements took place, the roads would be reduced to gravel in a few years. “I’ve never seen construction costs go down,” Malm said when
asked what the cost of doing the project now versus later would be. A resident of the project area said that she thought that was a moot point as what really matters is if the city can afford to do it now. She also mentioned that she wouldn’t mind living on a gravel road. Another Lanesboro resident asked if there was a policy in place that would allow people with hardships to take a longer time to pay for their assessments. Peggy Hanson noted that Minnesota has a property tax refund program that’s available if property taxes are too high in relation to the homeowner’s income. “I don’t want no curb and gutter,” Lanesboro resident Everett Johnson declared to applause from the audience. Mayor Robin Krom thanked everyone for coming to the meeting and expressing their opinions before closing the public hearing and opening the regular council meeting. The date of the Coffee Street East closure request was listed incorrectly as September 14 in the council agenda. City administrator Michele Peterson noted that the correct date is September 24. Jason Resseman reported that the Historical Preservation Committee plans to begin cataloging the historical homes and buildings in Lanesboro and is considering having placards available to historical homeowners for purchase to hang on their homes. An ordinance regulating and enforcing parking restrictions on the west side of Kenilworth Avenue was approved. Currently, drivers park diagonally which does not allow enough room for emergency vehicles to get through. The ordinance will require drivers to parallel park instead.
The council discussed the possibility of opting out of the State of Minnesota’s “granny pod” ordinance. A motion to opt out and ask the Planning and Zoning Commission to research ways to update Lanesboro’s ordinance was approved. Council member Tom Smith suggested that the council schedule a special work session that would be open to the public to discuss the proposed street improvement proj-
ect. “We have a lot of homework to do,” Mayor Krom commented about the information and opinions expressed in the public hearing for the matter earlier that evening. The 2017 preliminary budget was reviewed and approved. The council approved a 5-year lease with the Prestemon family to relocate the city’s brush dump to their land. The cost is $100 a month with annual payments. Six proposals from engineer-
ing firms for the position of city engineer were reviewed. Council member Smith asked if having a city engineer would incur more bills and wanted to be sure that the city would not be spending money on things it could take care of itself. Peterson assured him that she would always discuss questions with the city maintenance workers first and would only utilize the city engineer when necessary. The council voted to hire Bolten and Menk for the job. The next meeting will be held on October 3 at 5:30 p.m.

road rage. It is suggested that when you see the “lane closed ahead” sign and traffic backing up, stay in your current lane up to the point of merging. At that point, take turns with other drivers to safely and smoothly ease into the remaining lane. When traffic is heavy and slow, it is much safer for motorists to remain in their current lane until the point where traffic can orderly take turns merging. Studies show that the “zipper merge” works the best to keep traffic flowing, especially when there is a lot of traffic, by: • Reducing differences in speeds between two lanes • Reducing the overall length of traffic backup by as much as 40% • Reducing congestion on freeway interchanges • Creating a sense of fairness and equity that all lanes are moving at the same rate The “zipper merge” also helps prevent road rage from drivers who intentionally go slow in the lane that is closing, and blocking other drivers from passing or getting through. That is against the law. Lane blocking or impeding traffic fines are approximately $139.00 and the offense goes on your driving record. We are watching out for lane blockers in all situations. 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 con-

Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce reduces staff LANESBORO, MN. — As of August 31, the Lanesboro Area Chamber of Commerce eliminated the position of director of business, held by Shirley Mulder. For the time being, the chamber will maintain a three-quarter time position for Director of Tourism Cheryl Krage along with two part-time staff in its visitor center downtown. “We cannot re-open the director
of business position at this time because of financial constraints,” said Chamber Board President Sandy Kiel. She added that the board of directors will continue to assess staffing needs and will consider augmenting staff once the chamber’s finances are more secure. “We thank Shirley for her contributions to and support of this community through her dedicated work at the Lanesboro Area Cham-
ber of Commerce,” she said. The Lanesboro Area Chamber of Commerce promotes its members and local attractions through a printed visitors guide and on its website, www.lanesboro.com. In the past five years Lanesboro has been highlighted in numerous national articles, most recently in “40 American Towns You Haven’t Heard of But Should Visit ASAP,” in the July issue of Country Living Magazine.

I’m a kitty girl named Harper, one of three kittens who were lost in the woods. When we came to the shelter, we were very little, so a nice volunteer took us home to care for us. I like to play, and I’m an expert climber, but I like attention more than playing. I’ll put a happy song in your heart with my cuteness and sweet purr-sonality. I have a face everyone can love! How’d you like your very own minstrel? That’s what a “harper” is! Once upon a time, anyway, that’s what it meant. Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $15 + tax
