Leather and Pipes ride to Lanesboro By Barb Jeffers
barb@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The Leather and Pipes Motorcycle Run visited Lanesboro, Minn., on August 17, 2013 during this year’s sixth Annual fundraiser for the event with riders raising money for cancer awareness and to help find a cure. The Leather and Pipes Rally began when a very special person was taken from this earth by Lung Cancer. Mike Bell, who grew up in Pine Island, Minn., married a Lanesboro native Carolyn “Kayno” Borgen and the couple built a home in Oronoco, Minn. Mike was a partner in Dimension Plumbing and Heating in
Rochester, Minn., and loved to ride his motorcycle in his spare time. Mike also enjoyed hunting, fishing, and golfing. Mike’s Mother-in-law, Julia Borgen of Lanesboro, Minn., quickly comes to tears when speaking of Mike stating that Mike was a “very outgoing and friendly guy” and enjoyed spending time with friends and family including his wife and three children Devon, Renee, and Jake whom he loved very much. Mike passed away on July 22, 2007 at the age of 50 after a 12 month battle with Mesothelioma. Following Mike’s death his lifelong friend, Mike Fogarty, knew he needed to do something in Mike’s memory and
so began the Leather and Pipes Rally Against Cancer in 2008. “Pipes” relates to Mike Bell’s work with Dimension Plumbing and Heating and also the pipes on not only Mike’s motorcycle but the pipes of all of those who ride in his memory. The Leather and Pipes Rally does not include only motorcycles however. Anyone who wants to participate is welcome whether it be on a motorcycle, in a car, on a bus, or anything else. Mike Fogarty explains that the Rally is not only to honor Mike Bell but anyone who has been lost to cancer or is battling cancer. On the website for the Rally, See LEATHER Page 3

Fillmore County Coordinator Karen Brown announced at the board’s August 27 meeting that the state mandated property tax levy limit requires the county to levy no more than it did in 2013 or a maximum of $8,435,205. In other words the county has to have a 0 percent increase or less. The state mandated levy limits are one time limits on property taxes levied in 2013 and payable in 2014. The state has put the levy limits into effect for counties with a population exceeding 5,000 and for cities with a population exceeding 2,500. Commissioner Chuck Amunrud said due to the mandated levy limit, “We are going to be left with few options.” Commissioner Duane Bakke noted that $923,263 of the property tax collected in the first half of 2013 went to the state. Chairman Randy Dahl said over 30 percent of property tax levied
on commercial property goes to the state, adding that the county’s taxes are capped and the state’s are not. The percent the state gets goes up every year. As of August 27 prior to the meeting, the levy increase had been reduced to 7.81 percent or a total preliminary 2014 levy of $9,094,065. The county did get some good news, however. For budgeting purposes they had used a 10 percent increase in health insurance premiums. Brown received an e-mail during the meeting telling her that the health insurance premium increase will be 2.5 percent. This is a total savings of $117,679 for the county. Commissioners continued the process of trimming department budgets. Budgets reviewed this day included Highway Departments, Airport, SWCD, and Water Quality. The proposal to budget for the purchase of highway equipment See COUNTY Page 20
Rushford Hypersonic seeks and gets controversial funding By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com
A full house packed city hall for the Monday, August 26 council meeting in Rushford, Minn. The joint meeting of the council and the Economic Development Authority (EDA) included a public hearing regarding futher funding of Rushford Hypersonic. After weeks of discussion by the EDA, it was recommended that the city approve a $145,000 subsidy loan financing the lowscale production of products for

distribution. For some in attendance, it was just the same old story. Hypersonic has to date received $500,000 in funding through the EDA Revolving Loan Fund, the maximum amount allowed to one company. Those funds, according to Rushford Hypersonic President Jay Skranka, were utilized for research, design, development, and fine tuning for testing. This funding would allow the company to begin production of its See RUSHFORD Page 21 Dirty

Fillmore Central prepared for new school year By Jade Sexton The Fillmore Central School Board approved a couple of purchases at their regular meeting on August 27. Superintendent Richard Keith explained the five-year lease on the copy machine at the high school will expire in October. They have three options: they can renew the current lease at $500 per month, purchase the current machine for around $4,000, or return the machine. Keith received quotes for new machines from local vendors, and he recommended going with the lease option from EO Johnson Copiers. He said the price will be locked in for the five-year lease, along with a maintenance agreement. The new lease should save the district money. The board also approved the pur-
chase of a 2013 Dodge Caravan SE from Nelson Auto in Fergus Falls. This purchase is to replace the van they had to sell last year. Principal and Dean Reports Principal Heath Olstad informed the board the HVAC project at the high school is complete and everything is ready for the new year. There will be an open house August 28, 4-6 p.m. in the K-6 building and 6:15-8 p.m. At this time, students in grades 9-12 will receive their laptops and be given the options to pay a monthly fee to take it home, pay nothing and keep it at the school, or pay a monthly lease to eventually own the laptop. Athletic Director and Dean Chris Mensink gave the numbers for fall sports. There will be 68 participants in football, 52 in vol-
leyball, nine in cross country (with Lanesboro), and 12 in cheerleading. Mensink also said enrollment is up slightly this year, from 302 last year to 319 this year. Personnel The board accepted resignations and approved hires of several staff members. The resignations of Lara Graves, Title I Teacher; Jeannette Burns, MS Math Wizards Coach; Melissa Laue, SAC Aide; Laura Vatland, SAC Aide; and Linda O’Connor, Daycare Aide were all accepted. Ellie Skaggs was hired for a Daycare Aide, Melinda Daniels as Lead Custodian in the Harmony building, Sheryl Spencer as K-3 paraprofessional, and Kayla Carroll as 3-6 paraprofessional, and Terisa

and all the trimmings as well as making a donation to the cause. Next year’s route has not yet been decided but will surely be an even larger ride. Mike Fogarty is quick to point out that he does not organize this large event alone saying that it could not happen each year without a lot of help from his wife, Norma, Greg and Sherry Johnson, and countless friends and family including Mike Bell’s four sisters and two brothers. The Rally could also not happen or raise the money for cancer research without its corporate
sponsors, who all are listed on the website, and without donations from generous people. The love of family and friends and the passion for riding motorcycles that Mike Bell experienced in his lifetime continue in his honor by the Leather and Pipes Rally which may help to cure cancer someday and save another family from losing a loved one too soon.

C ommentary Be better By Eric Leitzen For those of you who don’t know how this “biz” works (and yes, I’m being sarcastic), I write these articles and submit them on the We d n e s d a y before the paper goes out. This time around, that We d n e s d a y happens to be the TwenEric Leitzen ty-Eighth of August, and with it being the year 2013, there has been much news and talking done about the significance of this day. Exactly 50 years ago, a man stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and gave a famous speech about having a dream. You all know which one, especially if you’re anywhere near my age, where the name “Martin Luther King” was about as well known as your Letter about “Love is Love” To the Editor, Going through a few back issue of the Journal, I just read the cover story from August 12 -- “Love is Love.” I offer you a hearty CONGRATULATIONS and thank you for choosing to run that story -and on the cover, no less! Having volunteered many hours on the “Vote No” campaign, I am very aware that there was, sadly, some opposition to marriage equality in Fillmore County. The decision to run this article was courageous in the face of that and, I believe, helpful to an inevitable change in attitudes. As a loud and proud “straight ally,” I thank you again. And to the beautiful brides -- I wish you a lifetime of love, as well as all the other benefits us heterosexual couples receive. Adrienne Sweeney Lanesboro, MN Editorial Cartoon
own parents after five years of primary school. It’s not like there wasn’t a reason: Martin Luther King, Jr. was an incredible American and deserves to have his name remembered, and the sad circumstances of his death only adds to the legend. We have a contemporary of MLK serving in Congress right now, a Mr. John Lewis from Alabama, who was actually beaten for his beliefs in Civil Rights during the 1960s, and yet the name Martin Luther King still rings out above all others, partly because of the speech he gave 50 years before I sat down to write this. Yes, I’m writing this the day it is due, in fact only a few hours before, but I have struggled with just how and why and where to pay tribute to this man and this speech as any good historian should do. Unfortunately, the fact that I have struggled with the what and why of this article
uncovers a bigger problem, in that 50 years after that titanic struggle for Civil Rights I’m still not exactly sure what I can and cannot write here that won’t anger someone somewhere for some reason… and that is a little troubling. They marched on Washington and gave those speeches 50 years ago so I wouldn’t have to worry about saying this or that about so and so or a certain community and readying my shield for some kind of counterattack. One of my college professors rode buses down in Alabama, in full view of horrific violence and danger so I wouldn’t have to sit here and stare at a computer monitor for days asking myself “Can I really send THIS article to them? Nah, it’s too controversial.” Talking about these same topics a halfcentury later shouldn’t be controversial anymore. John Lewis took a beating so it wouldn’t be. Martin Luther King died so it wouldn’t be. So why is it that we
haven’t gotten better yet? There’s been a lot of talk over the past few years about certain Amendments. The First and Second get a lot of screen time on the Talking Head Networks, and occasionally you’ll have someone cite the Tenth in the defense of “States’ Rights,” and even lately the Fourteenth has come up after the Supreme Court’s recent Voting Rights ruling, along with the Fourth in discussions of Mannings and Snowdens. My personal favorite, however (and if having a personal favorite Constitutional Amendment doesn’t make me the Alpha Nerd, I don’t know what will), is the Ninth Amendment, passed in the original Bill of Rights and a mere one sentence long. In essence, it says that yes, you have the right to this and that, because this is a free country, but also remember that you cannot use that right to, and I quote, “deny or disparage” any rights held by other people.
So, by the time you read this, the anniversary will have already passed, but that does not mean the message or legacy of Reverend King needs to be forgotten. Please, in the next generation or two, can we turn this country into a country that follows the Ninth Amendment, and a country where I don’t have to agonize over just exactly what to say when it comes to talking about the freedoms of certain sections of the population? I really shouldn’t have to couch my words and rely on euphemisms 50 years after the “I Have A Dream” speech when I’m talking about the content of that exact speech, not after how far we’ve come. So please, take it upon yourself one by one to do just one little thing to do right by Dr. King and Mr. Lewis and all the generations of patriots not yet known for their struggles and bravery. Be better.
In Washington, ideology need not reign supreme By Lee H. Hamilton As I speak to people about the Congress, one question arises more than any other: Why is Congress gridlocked? People are perplexed and disappointed with its performance, and are searching hard for an Lee H. answer. Hamilton The roots of Congress’s dysfunction are complex. But the fundamental reason is that real differences in ideology and principles about both government and governance exist among the voters. At heart, the reason it’s become so hard for Washington to act is that the two parties are being
driven by fundamentally incompatible views. Conservatives place a heavy emphasis on liberty, individual freedom, and self-reliance. They have little confidence in government’s ability to play a role in improving society or the economy, and many of them look upon government as destructive, a force that undermines our basic freedom. They are fearful of centralized power, opposed to redistribution of any kind, and opposed to new government programs — or even to improving existing government programs they’d rather see cut. They reject entirely the notion of raising taxes or imposing new regulations on the private sector. Moreover, a belief has taken hold among some conservatives
in recent years that compromise and accommodation are betrayals of their cause. This has put great pressure on GOP leaders not to budge in their negotiations with the White House and Senate Democrats. Meanwhile, on the “progressive” side — a label that has come to supplant “liberal,” in part because Republicans in the 1980s and 1990s were so effective at demonizing liberals — there is much greater emphasis on using government to narrow economic disparities and help those at the bottom of the income scale. They emphasize its role in providing equality of opportunity for all and individuals’ responsibility to the commu-

nity around them. Because they have more confidence in government as a constructive force, they have no trouble with the notion of expanding government’s scope to improve Americans’ lives. In fact, unlike conservatives, they think government can expand freedom when it’s properly applied, by reining in the power of monied interests. While they do not favor a radical centralization of power in the federal government, as some conservatives charge, they are See WASHINGTON Page 5

more willing to accept government action — and the legislative compromises that make it possible. Because they have less confidence in the market to solve all problems, they support both the taxes they believe necessary to run programs they like, and regulations to limit the private sector’s more predatory impacts on the environment or society. The gap between these views
appears unbridgeable. It is not, nor are the differences between the two sides as wide as they appear. That is because most Americans find themselves somewhere between the extremes, able to see merit in both conservative and progressive ideas. When I was in office, I often found myself thinking that many of my constituents were conservative, moderate, and liberal all at the same time. That hasn’t changed. As a whole, Americans do not
want excessive government or heavy-handed bureaucracy, but they do want programs that help them, like Social Security and Medicare. They are dedicated to both individual freedom and opportunity and to community obligation, and they don’t see them as mutually contradictory. More than anything else, especially these days, they want to see moderation and cooperation from their political leaders. There may be dysfunction in Washington, but the system can
still work. When policy makers gather (I’ve seen this countless times) ideology fades, pragmatism rises, and the question becomes, What can we do to fix the situation? That’s where most Americans find themselves. They do not see government as evil, though they are often disappointed in its practice and its practitioners. They are wary of excessive government, but again and again they turn to government at some level to help solve the problems they complain
about, and they want it to work effectively and efficiently. In the end, Congress usually ends up about where most Americans are and want it to be. So I’m not surprised to find how, when dire problems confront them, both conservatives and progressives in Washington find their inner pragmatist. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

The Gambles specialize “in entertaining, musicinfused, funny, thought-provoking, redemptive, soul stirring and imaginative theater.” For more than 15 years, the two have been creating and performing their original works. After graduating from Bethel University with degrees in theater and music, the couple has settled their family in Minneapolis. Though, family life doesn’t slow them from continuing to perform

Fund will support arts focused activities in three key areas: 1) Arts and Arts Access, 2) Arts Education, and 3) Arts and Cultural Heritage. SEMAC encourages applicants to research and develop proposals that incorporate two or more of the key areas with an emphasis on creating lasting partnerships among regional nonprofit arts organizations and other nonprofit groups. In addition to eligible arts organizations, nonprofits that do not have arts as a primary focus, such as schools, senior centers, community education, cultural groups and colleges are invited to apply. Future funding of Arts and Cultural Heritage Grants depends on appropriate use of current funding. SEMAC urges arts organizations, non-arts organizations with an arts component, and government entities to apply. First-time applicants must attend a proposal drafting session. Three sessions will be held. To learn more or to sign up, email staff@semac.org or call the SEMAC office at 507-2814848. Presenter/Production Assistance Grants Proposals for Presenter/Production grants offer funding up to $3,000 to qualified applicants. Matching funds are required. Presenter Assistance grants are intended to help regional arts organizations and educational institutions sponsor appearances by touring artists or companies who have demonstrated high lev-
to give ‘em something that will refresh their spirits, challenge their assumptions, entertain their socks off and inject some hope into their lives.” Theater for the Thirsty will be entertaining those in Fillmore County with the show “The Rough and the Holy,” a one man play about uncovering the life of Jesus, “the friend of sinners.” In this production Gospel characters, such as Peter, Simeon, Judas and Mary Magdalen to name a few, are brought to the stage in a creative and powerful way that is sure to leave an impact.
Each of these characters will explain who Jesus was to them, maybe helping you formulate the answer to this question worth pondering. The show is September 14 at 7 p.m. at the Rushford Lutheran Church. Tickets are on sale now, $5 adults/$3 for kids under 12 and Thrivent members. Ice cream sundaes will be served following the performance. Tickets are available at the door, however reservations for Theater for the Thirsty’s “The Rough and the Holy” are recommended by calling Becky Stocker at 507-8752344.

Bosco is a gentle giant. He is very sweet and mellow. The people who had him before guessed him to be 8 years old, but I think he is about 5-6 years old.

Fillmore County Sports Volleyball Preview/Blue blasts off By Paul Trende Volleyball Preview Just like on the gridiron, the beginning of the 2013 volleyball season is marked by changes. As of fall sports, the WinonaCotter Ramblers (a former HVL school) are now officially in the 3-Rivers. They bring the league up to 12 teams. Three county schools have new coaches, Nikki Schultz (R-P), Jackie Whitacre (Kingsland), and Chris Knutson (Lanesboro). This season will also be the first in quite some time where Wabasha-Kellogg and Caledonia don’t have strangleholds on both the 3-Rivers and Sub-Section 1A/1AA races. With players like Emma Lange, Maria Fruechte, Katie Cavalco, and Kalyn Biever graduated, said races are opened up. MabelCanton, Fillmore Central, and Chatfield all have a very good shots at filling said voids, at pushing towards championship greatness. In Mabel, as it pertains to the Southeast Conference, volleyball championships and greatness go hand-inhand. Lonnie Morken’s Cougars went undefeated in SEC-play enroot to their 15th straight league title. Belle Sand They finished with a 31-6 record, were 1A-East runner’s-up (lost to W-K 3-0). This year, M-C has a standout senior class of long-time varsity players. Three-time SEC POY (two-time All-State Honorable Mention) Belle Sand leads the cast. What the 5’7” OH lacks in height, she makes up for in jumping ability, arm-speed, and talent. Sand led M-C with over 300 kills and digs last season (went over 1,000 kills game one
of the 2013 season). Joining her are fellow All-Conference players Carly McCabe (5’4” S) and Lydia Geving (5’8” OH). Libero Christine Lee (5’4”) and Sara Lind (6’0” MH) complete the M-C returning senior five-some. From there, M-C lacks varsity experience. But the Cougar’s are still the heavy SEC favorite. They’re very capable of winning 1A-East. They begin the season ranked #6 in the Class A polls. One team M-C will have to get thru in 1A East is neighbor Fillmore Central. Denise Case’s Falcons (26-6) finished in the 3rd place in the 3-Rivers last year, and seemed destined for the SubSection finals. They led M-C 2-0 and 9-2 in set three of the semis, only to fall in five sets. FC can either forget that game, or use it Taylor Case as motivation. Either way, the Falcons are a team to reckon with. Steady and angular 5’11” senior OH Taylor Case (All-Conference, All-State HM) leads the Falcons. Taylor is the top returning kill-artist in the 3-Rivers and the only returning player to amass 300 kills and digs last season. Joining her are returning A-C players Morgan Malley (5’8” Jr. S) and Victoria Peterson (5’7” Sr. OH), plus returning starters Leah Scheevel (5’9” Jr. MH), Sammi Bakke (5’11” Jr. MH), and Kaitlynn Aug (5’11” Jr. RH). The FC troop returns intact save for one (libero Chelsea Rislove). The Falcons have size, experience, talent, frontline depth, and they’ve played together a long time. It wouldn’t be unlikely to see them climb higher than a pre-season #14 ranking, to grab some kind of a championship.

In Class AA, Chatfield is also ranked (tied at #10). The Gophers finished last season with a 21-10 record. They were 1AAEast runner’s up, falling to Caledonia 3-0. Unlike rival FC, whose strength is its front-line offense, Troy S w a n c u t t ’s Alex Duxbury Gophers’ strength is defense. Led by probably the best back-line in the 3-Rivers, two-time All-State libero Alex Duxbury (Sr), and juniors Maddie Talamantes (5’6” OH) and Kirsten Keefe (5’7” All-Conference), scoring on the Gophers was, and will be, tough. The key for Chatfield to somehow get past the 1AA finals (where they’ve fallen the past two years) is getting steadier offense. That assignment pry falls on senior Camille Rasmussen (5’9” OH), and juniors Maddy Kammer (5’9” OH), Brook Irish (5’11” MH), and Keefe (who’ll play all the way around). Sheridan Salisbury (5’8” So.) could also get in on the act, but she will share setting duties with sister Gabrielle (5’7” Sr.) too. The Gophers are talented, experienced, and versatile. Maybe most importantly, they don’t have to deal with Caledonia’s Fruechte and Lange come Sub-Section’s. That puts them in an opportunity-ripe position. In Rushford, Nikki Schultz is probably in the most opportunistic spot of the three new Fillmore County volleyball coaches. She inherits a team that returns the biggest number of pieces from a year ago, and the most talent. Kendra Crawford (5’6” Sr. Libero, All-Conference) can stave off attacks like few others in the 3-Rivers. She led the league in digs a season ago. Fellow senior Keela Brand (5’5” DS) returns to join her on the Trojan back line. Up front, Sierra McNamer (5’9” Sr. RH), Kate MacKenzie (5’8” Sr. OH), and Bailey Holien (5’10 Jr. OH) all took swings last season. The only problem is, they weren’t lead swingers. A graduated Amy Todd was the Trojan workhorse, leading the team in kills, aces, and blocks, the conference in kills and aces. That’s a lot of production to replace. R-P has finished the past two seasons with 20-plus wins (22-11 last season). Yet they still didn’t get out of the first round of the 1A East play-offs (lost to Goodhue 3-1 last year). Coach Schultz comes from Wabasha, a program that has yearly reservations in the 1A East finals. R-P fans are hoping she can take her new team to that level. In Spring Valley, Jackie Whitacre takes over the Knights. Kingsland got a play-off win last year, but then were W-K’s quarterfinal sacrificial lamb (3-0) on its way to a Sub-Section title.
The Knights finished the season 12-17. Whitacre inherits a squad that lost 11 players to graduation. She does get the services of experienced seniors Brianna Musel (5’9” OH), Haley Colton (5’3” OH), Kailynn Hamersma (5’7” MH), and Rialie Fenske (4’11” DS) back. From there, it’s a cast of varsity-unproven players. The Knights will be small, but Whitacre hopes to win games with conditioning and teamwork. She is familiar with her squad. Whitacre coached her girls on B-squad, and thus she is ‘comfortable with (them) as athletes and as young ladies ready to prove themselves at (the varsity) level.’” The Houston Hurricanes join the Fillmore County Journal coverage fray. The ‘Canes lost to Kingsland last season 3-0 in a 1A East play-in game, and finished with a 11-17 record. Senior hitter Abby Loken is head coach Steve Kinstler’s crown jewel. The 5’11” Loken is already the Houston alltime regular season, and career leader Abbey Loken in kills, and will only add to her records this season. Kyla Olson (5’4” DS), Natalie King (5’9” MH), Heather Lundberg (5’8” Sr. OH), and Brianna Kerrigan (5’9” OH) are four other seniors with experience who’ll be the rotation this season. Kinstler likes the positional depth he has (7 seniors and 7 juniors), and the versatility it gives him to ‘try different pieces of the puzzle.’ Houston pry won’t compete with the M-C’s of the SEC world, but they’ll look to keep pace with the Spring Grove’s. In Lanesboro, Chris Knutson takes over the Burro volleyball program. She brings experience to her work. Knutson coached Lanesboro volleyball in the late ‘90’s are early ‘00’s. She inherits a squad that won just one game a year (1-17) and fell to Spring Grove 3-1 in a Sub-Section 1A play-in game. That means there really isn’t anywhere to go but up. The Burros have four seniors, three of which were starters. Kaia Hongerholt (5’8” OH) is a versatile talent who will play all the way around the floor. Madi-
son Ming (5’9” OH) and Regan Howerton (5’10” RH) also started a season ago and will play up front. Juniors Olivia Haug (6’0” MH) and Steph Erickson (5’5” Jr. S) also have experience. After a one-win season, the Burros are playing it week-to-week. They have to, as it’s definitely an evolving-process after last season. The good news it, ‘they’ve forgotten about it’ whilst ‘keeping a positive attitude.’ The Burros are ‘ready.’” Blue blasts off One couldn’t have thought up a better start to a new football season, and a new football conference, then pitting the top two teams from last season, the top two pre-season teams this season, against each other right away. Chatfield and Caledonia battled twice a year ago, Caledonia handing the Gophers their only two losses. The two teams christened the start of S.F.A Blue Division by butting heads in game one of the 2013 season. And the game lived up to the hype. Chatfield, not the ballyhooed Warriors (the defending threetime state champs on a 41-game winning streak), looked impressive early. A 49-yard run by standout senior tailback Jake Neis set up score number one, a Nate Skare to Alex Bradt 2-yard connection on 4th and one from the two. A series later, Skare critically hit Drew Hurley for 24 yards on 3rd and eight, which led to a 1-yard plunge by Neis. After one quarter of play, the visiting Goph’s led 12-0. At that point, Caledonia had just one first down. The Warriors had two really big sequences in the game. The first came midway thru the 2nd quarter. On 4th and 10 from the Warrior 49, Caledonia punter Mason Ashbacher (#74 mind you) couldn’t handle the long snap. He did, pick it up the low ball and rumble his way for an 11-yard gain and a first down. Two plays later, Ryan Pitts made the Gopher special teams gaffe hurt. The senior tailback floated a perfect 38-yard halfbackpass strike to wide receiver Sam Schulte, making it 12-7. Later in the quarter, junior QB Mason DeMorrett hit Adam Goetzinger See SPORTS Page 13

from 11 yards away and, at the half the top-ranked Warriors led 13-12. Chatfield rallied the wagons. With their first possession of the second half, they got the ball to Jake Neis. The crafty Neis created magic by weaving and then darting his way to a 59-yard TD run (18-13). From there, the game stalled. Chatfield had a golden opportunity with under 8:00 to play: first and ten at the Warrior 11. They were turned away on downs. Caledonia’s second big sequence, the biggest sequence of the game, came a few minutes later (under 5:00 to go). Starting at the Gopher
28, DeMorrett completed four straight passes for a total of 43 yards. Up until that point, he was 6 for 22 and had yet to complete back-to-back passes. Still, with 4:19 left, Caledonia faced a 4th and six from the Chat 29. DeMorrett’s toss to the right was errand, but pass interference was called (a critical whistle). It kept the Warrior drive alive. Six plays later, DeMorrett punched the ball into the end zone from one yard away. With 2:11 left, Caledonia led 19-18. The game was then sealed on the third play of the Goph’s ensuing drive. Nate Skare tried to throw a screen, but it was intercepted by Warrior d-lineman Jacob Nielsen. And that was all she wrote. By a final of 19-18, the defending champs
snuck out a victory. Gopher fans can point to the (questionable) pass interference call (and probably rightfully so), but the boys of the Chosen Valley shot themselves in the foot on special teams and in the turnover department. On top of the punter-first-down play, Chatfield missed three extra points and a field goal. The Gophers also had five turnovers (to Caledonia’s one). Take away one of those miscues and the Gophers probably win. Take away half of those miscues, and they win with room to spare. Chatfield out-gained Caledonia 404 to 249 including holding a 290 to 80 edge on the ground. Chatfield’s lines controlled the trenches. Tailback Jake Neis started his
Peterson set for a big trail town celebration By Kirsten Zoellner The Taste of the Trail, now in its third season, is a Root River Trail premier event. Showcasing nine towns along the trail, during various weekends, the event is the culmination of unique events, the beauty of the natural surroundings, and the bountiful tastes that can be found from restaurants and growers in the area. Peterson’s celebration is slated for Saturday, September 14 and is jam-packed with a little something for everyone. Dubbed “A Celebration of Farm Life and Wildlife,” the event kicks off at 10 a.m. in downtown Peterson and runs until 3 p.m. Eight vendors will have locally grown goods or full meals available and six are slated to present free samples. Local restaurant Burdey’s Café will showcase tastes of the fall harvest. Chef Steve Burdey is planning to serve samples of roasted and curried Butternut squash soup, while wife Kristin, who is famous for her pies, serves up homemade dessert delicacies. Just down the street, in the refurbished bandstand, just south of city hall, local band Highway
30 will entertain with country music while the Fillmore County Cattlemen will serve their popular grilled hamburgers. Also nearby, Whitlock’s will feature a taste of raw honey and Ostrem’s Sweet Corn will have samples of uniquely delicious corn jelly, in addition to fresh sweet corn for sale. Across Mill Street, Geneva’s old-fashioned ice cream shop will have eight flavors of their Chocolate Factory ice cream for sample, as well as $1 cones. Also in Geneva’s, award-winning Biggin’s BBQ will offer up a mouth-watering sampling of pulled pork, smoked turkey, and smoked pork. Full meals will be available. Just up the street, Chiggy’s will offer a wide sampling of Oktoberfest brews and fall wines. Outdoor on the Chiggy’s deck, an Amish market of baked and canned goods and produce will be on hand. For further entertainment, you can walk or take a quaint $1 Amish buggy ride from the Peterson Station Museum to the city park pavilion. Down at the park, at the south end of
Fillmore Street, various farm life and wildlife presentations be held throughout the day. New this year is the English Gardens Fiber Mill and Sheep Farm of Caledonia, Minn. A fullservice cottage fiber mill providing washing, picking, carding, pin drafting, spinning and felting, the farm is home to heritage Blue Faced Leicester and English Leicester Sheep. Beginning at 10 a.m. with a sheep shearing demonstration, the farm will highlight the process from fleece to useable product. Also scheduled are spinning, carding, felting, and knitting demonstrations. A wide array of wool fiber products will be available for purchase. Another highlight of the wild side, from 10-1, includes a visit from Cody the Buffalo of Money Creek Buffalo Ranch in Houston. Part majestic, part gentle giant, Cody is always a hit! Owner Buffalo Gal will be available to answer questions, for photos, as well as having several buffalo products available for purchase. If that doesn’t thrill you enough, Naturalist Kery Erickson of Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park will present a live rattlesnake demonstration, including feeding (a feeding time announcement will be made that day). Fellow naturalist Mike Donker will educate and fascinate with a hands-on wildlife demonstration, including skulls, furs, and feathers, all found in Root River

senior year brilliantly. The elusive 5’10” 185-pounder was the best player on the field, carrying the ball 22 times for 187 yards and 2 TD’s. Gopher junior wide receiver Drew Hurley also made plays, catching three passes for 79 yards. DeMorrett was the Warriors gutty hero. He completed just 13 of 32 attempts for 130 yards, a TD, and INT, whilst rushing for another score.

We can hardly wait,”

The first story, Hold the Boat, is the story of a boy trying to sneak onto Noah’s ark. How the Groo Grew, the second tale, centers around monsters, forgiveness, and sibling rivalry. The production wraps up with The Tale of the Three Trees, a classic folk tale. The entire production is free of charge. An evening performance is slated in Rushford at Rushford Lutheran Church. Tickets for the evening performance are $5. “This year is going to be so great,” notes Peterson organizer Gail Boyum. “We’ve already heard that people will be coming from far and wide for the day. It’s a lot of fun for the whole family.”
This year’s events will feature a sheep shearing demonstration as well as several other farm life and wildlife events.

Becky’s Food Tales By Becky Hoff
Tomato Season - A Tale of Irrational Gardening Tomatoes are easily my favorite thing to grow in the garden. Every year I have to try new heirloom varieties in my quest for ‘The Perfect Tomato.’ This year I have no less than 11 varieties planted in the back yard garden. Some are favorites that I have planted before like Pink Brandywine and Amish Paste. Others are new to me- Cherokee Purple, Pineapple, and Cherry Roma. I realize that this may seem like a lot, but it
never seems like enough to me. My tomato obsession has me casting a critical eye on my back yard, trying to find space for yet another raised bed. My husband thinks the garden is big enough, but then he is the one who has to build those new garden beds in the spring! I’m going to confess something here: I’m not really a rational person
Cherry Tomato & Oregano Chicken
2 pints of cherry tomatoes About 1/4 cup olive oil (don’t use the extra virgin stuff here, something suitable for high temps is better in this recipe) 5 crushed or pressed garlic cloves 1/2 tsp (or more!) crushed red pepper flakes 2 TBLS chopped fresh oregano (Or marjoram, or basil, or parsley... Just grab whatever is growing good in your garden, though I really recommend oregano or marjoram for this dish.) 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts Salt and pepper to taste Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. (I know, 450 seems high. But trust me!) Season chicken with salt and pepper, and lay in a lightly oiled baking dish. Toss tomatoes, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes and olive oil together in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle top with more salt and pepper. Roast uncovered for about 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes are blistered into a state of delicious perfection.
when it comes to my garden. Every winter I make grids, and plans. I discuss them (to death) with my husband. I review my notes from last year, and revise. A sensible plan is drawn up, and then I start looking at seed catalogs. This is where many people run into problems. Picture it- it’s dreary and cold outside. The Christmas ornaments have long been packed away, and each grey day blurs into the next. You just shoveled out the end of your driveway for the second time that day. Then you open the seed catalog. The colors are bright, the descriptions make you long for warmer days. Each variety of plant sounds better than the next, and you start thinking that you need to try every single one. You begin to order your seeds, and the list of vegetables and flowers that you must plant gets longer and longer. Last winter was particularly blah, so I got a bit carried away. This is how we ended up with 30 tomato plants in the back yard, and nine more in buckets. (And don’t get me started on my pepper plants!) This year the tomatoes have been very slow to come, so I’m glad I

went overboard. As I’m sure others have noticed, the tomatoes really seem content to stay green this year. The cool night temperatures of August received no affection from me! Hopefully September will bring better weather, and a good quantity of ripe tomatoes. I am happiest when I have more tomatoes than I know what to do with. When tomatoes are in full swing, my husband and I use them up making BLTs, pasta dishes, fresh salsas and salads. I will slice tomatoes and dehydrate them, making ‘sun dried tomatoes’ that last all winter in airtight jars. And then there are the canning recipes: salsas, bruschetta in a jar, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes. Every year I dig through my recipe

books and the internet looking for new ways to use up my tomato bounty. And when inspiration and creativity fail me, I just freeze them or share them with friends and family. Some seasonal foods you can easily get your fill of; sweet corn is delicious, but I really only need to eat it a few times per season to be satisfied. Eggplant and zucchini are great, but you can only think of so many ways to prepare them. But tomatoes? I never get tired of tomatoes. The following recipe is a good way to use up your cherry tomatoes, as it calls for a good two pints. It’s delicious served with focaccia bread to sop up the juices. Add a nice garden salad and you have a well rounded meal!

Livestock: Life long passion By Megan Kiehne Dedication and commitment can lead to great achievement as proven by Ashley Bue, Fillmore County 4-H’er and livestock shower. As soon as Bue was old enough to show beef cattle at the Fillmore County Fair, she was in the arena. Loving the atmosphere of competitions, she continued to show and be involved in beef cattle. “Showing and raising live-
stock will allow you to make friendships that last a lifetime, along with gaining knowledge in your project area and learning valuable life lessons while having fun.” Ashley continued, “My favorite part of showing livestock is sharing my knowledge of the beef industry with younger members and the public. Through this, I hope to instill a passion for livestock like older members did for me
Pricing Corn Silage By Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educator for Fillmore/Houston Counties Due to the late planting dates and a cooler than normal growing season this year, many corn fields will probably be harvested for silage. There is potential for corn in these fields to be too immature for proper corn silage harvest. How should the value of corn Jerrold Tesmer silage be adjusted for immature corn? Typical calculation methods for pricing normal corn silage include: 1 Relative feed value of known forage market. •Silage ($/T) = ¼ to ½ value of hay •Silage ($/T = 8 times the price of a bushel of corn. If already harvested,
then 10 times. 2. Feed replacement or substitution costs 3. Use market prices for energy, protein, and digestibility (NE of corn, soybean meal, hay) 4. Contracted price above the cost of production (280 – 320 $/A). If the corn is immature a quality adjustment factor for maturity might be necessary. Some University of Wisconsin work suggests: Pre-tassel = 90 percent; Silk = 80 percent; Soft dough = 85 percent; Early dent = 90 percent; ½ kernel milk line = 100 percent; and Black layer = 90 percent Two “quick and dirty” ways to estimate corn silage yield are: •Based on Grain Yield…for stressed corn, about one ton of silage per acre can be obtained from each five bushels of grain per acre. For example, if you expect a grain yield

when I was their age.” This past July was the last time she could show at the Fillmore County Fair and advance to the State competition. Participating youth are eligible for a scholarship called the Minnesota Livestock Breeders’ Association 4-H Auction Scholarship. This was brought to Bue’s attention as she was able to advance to the state level. Over 140 applications were submitted into the Livestock Breeders’ Association’s
office. The applications were weighed based upon their leadership and achievement in youth livestock programs, as well as their involvement in the local community. Over 150 young showers received 4-H Auction Scholarships at the State Fair in the past decade to attend the college of their choice. In 2013, two new levels of scholarships were available at $1,000 and $2,000 per award. Only 10 of each scholarship was awarded
at the Auction. Ashley was one of the recipients of a $1,000 scholarship. The scholarship was awarded on Saturday, August 24 at the Purple Ribbon Auction in the AgStar Arena at the Minnesota State Fair. Ashley commented, “Raising and showing livestock has taught me many life lessons. For me, livestock will always be a part of my life. With my experience through 4-H and FFA, I will be able to continue my passion of livestock.”
of 50 bushels grain per acre, you will get about 10 ton/acre of 30 percent dry matter silage. For corn yielding more than 100 bushels per acre, about one ton of silage per acre can be expected for each seven to eight bushels per acre. •Based on Plant Height…if little or no grain is expected, a rough pre-harvest estimate of yield can be made by assuming that one ton of 30 percent dry matter silage can be obtained for each foot of plant height (excluding the tassel. On this basis, “waist-high” corn 3-4 feet tall will yield about three to four tons per acre of silage at 30 percent dry matter. Sample Weight Method A more accurate way to estimate yields is to weigh the corn plants from a portion of an acre (1/100th) in several spots of the field. To do this, determine row width, then cut corn plants in one row for a certain length according to row width in the following table:
Row Length Row Width 32.50 ft. 30” 28.75 ft. 36” 27.50 ft. 38” 26.25 ft. 40” Next, weigh the amount of whole corn plant material cut in pounds. Divide the pounds harvested by four. That’s the estimated tons produced per acre. Follow this method for several areas and average the results. In order to obtain actual tons harvested, weigh each wagon load or
count how many feet of silage went into a silo after settling. If you know the silo size, how many feet of silage was put up and what the moisture was, silo charts can be used to calculate tons stored. Dividing stored tons by acres harvested will give you the yield per acre. The information above was obtained from work done by University of Wisconsin Corn Agronomist Joe Lauer, and UW-Extension Agriculture Agent Greg Blonde.

The state auditor guidelines are to maintain a fund balance of 35 percent to 50 percent of expenditures. •Gerry Krage, Bluff Country Housing and Rehabilitation Authority, reviewed the history of the organization and improvements they have helped facilitate over the years. Currently, in the city of Preston DEED money will help rehabilitate 15 owner occupied homes ($22,000 per home) and the 16 unit Vesterheim Apartments. There are several funding sources for the rehabilitation of the apartments. Together, there will be an infusion of $1.4 million into the city of Preston and Fillmore County. Krage recognized that money is tight all over, but requested an annual appropriation from the county of $5,000. He reported
that Houston County has appropriated that amount. Commissioner Tom Kaase insisted we should find the $5,000 for the appropriation. Dahl said they do good work and it should continue. The appropriation for 2014 was approved. •An additional server for the county to be purchased from IBM was approved as recommended by the Technology Committee. •An $800 purchase for an upgrade to ArcView from ProWest was approved as requested by the county recorder and recommended by the Technology Committee. •An access permit to tillable and non tillable land for Gary and Cindy Krahn to CSAH 38, Section 36, Sumner Township was approved.

This past Thursday, August 22, the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council (SEMAC), on the recommendation of their Board of Directors, awarded a series of individual artistic grants to applicants from all over the region. One of the recipients included Mr. Lane Powell, from Harmony, Minn. Mr.Powell received a full $5000 grant from the McKnight Foundation. Lane is a composer of concert band music and is the Director of Bands at Fillmore Central Schools. The grant proposal is unique in that it allows for Mr. Powell to
compose a piece of concert band music that consists of themes based on Southeast Minnesota culture, geography, and history. Once composed, this piece will be electronically delivered free of charge to every school district in the SEMAC area. These school band directors will be able to prepare and program this piece of music at their spring concerts without any charge to their districts. This will be a piece about Southeast Minnesota, written by a Southeast Minnesota composer, being performed by students who live and learn in Southeast Minnesota!
Powell has written several pieces for concert band. These works have been published under the C.L. Barnhoue, and Powell Music labels. He has also received commissions to compose pieces from bands in Illinois and Minnesota and his pieces have been purchased and performed by school bands in all of the lower 48 states. The music for this grant project will be composed this fall and distributed to area schools in mid-winter. Powell would like to graciously thank the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council and the McKnight Foundation for this opportunity.
Fillmore County Advocates are awarded grant The Preston Area Community Foundation recently awarded a $3,000 grant to Fillmore County Advocates. Fillmore County Advocates is a non-profit victim services agency that provides advocacy and support to victims of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, violent crime, hate crimes, domes-

RUSHFORD
Continued from Page 1 coated drill bits for industrial use. Fastenal has provided a letter of intent to the company regarding the product but no purchase or distribution agreements are in place. “We have amazing, wonderful technology here. We’ve spent six years developing the technology to take Nano particles, to take a product a product and make it better. This will help bridge the gap into production,” said Skranka. Contrary to what some thought, this funding will not provide new machinery. Instead, it will fund a carousel component that will be inserted in existing machines to allow for greater consistency in the product. “We’re working on repeatability to a consistent performance standard,” he added. The bits themselves, when coated, are remarkable. When compared to a standard carbide bit, which drilled 60 holes before wearing out, the Nano-coated bit drilled 1,500 holes and under inspection, the 1,500th hole was no different than the first. Still, not everyone was sold. The initial loan to Rushford Hypersonic is in a period of forbearance. “My concern is where the $145,000 will be spent. Will it be spent in a logical way and will there be a way for us to get something out of this as a city?” asked Mitch Bublitz. “This is all well if it works, but if it doesn’t, do you have a plan?” “We were skeptical, too,” responded EDA chair Tom Driscoll. “But the arguments were persuasive when weighed against the alternative of letting this company languish. We tore this thing apart, went through everything, asking every possible question given the history of this company and the city. It’s in the best interest of the city to assist the company.” “We’ve hit a few stumbling blocks,” added Skranka. “The patent is from the University of Minnesota. It didn’t work quite as expected. If it would have, we wouldn’t be asking for the funding.” Since the patent problems, Hypersonic has restructured their board and have adopted a business plan suited to the materials they can use and including small volume manufacturing. Just who the company owners
and stakeholders are was another issue of contention. “If these numbers are true, we should follow through here. Are they going to personally guarantee it? Are they committed?” The company’s work has been funded by the city loan, a SMIF loan, and by private investor. While Skranka wouldn’t comment much on the investors, he alluded to the fact that if something tangible is put forth as a product, investments in it will follow. The security on the loan is the equipment held by Rushford Hypersonic. “We will be secure against this loan,” added Driscoll. “And we’ll find a way to share in the success of this company. Even if there are a few bumps, the projections are impressive. We’re trying to protect the interests of this city. We want to be extremely careful. Part of this risk analysis is finding a way to help them succeed. To coin a phrase, we’re already in bed with this company.” “One of the benefits is to get Hypersonic successful, then make an investment in the town,” added RinTek President Kevin Klungtvedt. “This is an investment in Rushford’s future.” “If what you say is true, I’d invest. If I invested and it wasn’t true, I’d own your house,” stated Bublitz. “I’ll go on record that I’ll personally borrow you the $145,000 if they’ll personally guarantee it.” No one took Bublitz up on his offer, but Skranka alluded that he was confident in the product and stands behind it. The EDA loan process, it was pointed out, doesn’t operate like a bank with personal collateral. Following the public hearing, which lasted over an hour, the city took the issue to decision during regular business. “We’re violating the policy of no more than $500,000 to one company,” noted City Administrator Steve Sarvi. “We’ve done this with one other company, but their loan was not in forbearance. Because of the exception of policy that would be needed to grant Hypersonic’s loan request, the EDA has required additional security on the loan.” A lien on 2 percent of the Class A stock will be held by the EDA until both the total amount due, $636,000, is repaid. In addition, the city is finalizing a royalty amount, which is looking like $.03 per drill bit. The minimum royalty paid would

Monday, September 2, 2013 be $3,300 per year and the maximum of $50,000. Should the production phase work as expected, the company will start cranking out bits in 60 days, with an additional 30 days to fine tune the process. The goal is to create 10,000 coated drill bits per eight-hour shift, with one shift per day, a $40,000 a month profit to the company. It is possible that up to three shifts could be added should the need be present. “If successful, down the road, are you going to come back and ask for money for a building?” asked Councilor Roger Colbenson. “That scenario would be different,” responded Skranka. “Our goal here is to become selfsustaining.” “We’ve said loud and clear, you’re going to have to find future infusions of cash,” said Driscoll. “This just starts that revenue stream.” “We’ve got $2 million invested in research and development. We’re looking for a small capital investment to get this to a tangible project,” noted Skranka. City attorney Terry Chiglo, who had initially given approval to the language of the subsidy to Hypersonic, temporarily halted that approval prior to the council vote. “If the bits don’t sell or aren’t made, your security is no better than we have right now,” he cautioned the council. “Because of the reference tonight of $2 million in investments, which I wasn’t aware of, I want it certified that the city is first in collateral in case of liquidation. The other requirement that I’d recommend is that this company will comply with the EDA loan policy.” The council approved the funding in a 4 to 1 vote, contingent on Chiglo’s recommendations. Final closing documents still need to be drafted. The clock is now ticking on Hypersonic’s self-given 90-day window to churn out the product. It appears the community will certainly be watching. In other news, the city has moved forward with the Family Dollar project. The council has approved the site plan review based on a Planning Commission recommendation. The city has also entered into a purchase agreement with SMR Acquisitions Company for FD Rushford Minnesota Miller Circle LLC. The purchase includes 1.22 acres of land (block 2, lot 1) in the Himlie Business Park. The amount recaptures the value of the land and utility improvements. Deed work, soil reviews, and other associated costs were all paid for by the company up front. The closing is scheduled for August 30. The site is expected to be completed March of 2014, with opening in the spring. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, September 9, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Lanesboro man accused of unauthorized practice of law Foxx are likely to what have contributed to the dismantling of Williams Junior’s rights to practice law. In 1981 the Baltimore Afro-American newspaper reported a story on a case where Williams Jr. forged two checks belonging to Foxx, each in the amount of $5,000, and deposited them into his personal bank account. Williams Jr. was working as Foxx’s attorney at the time. Foxx claimed in the article to be helping out Williams Jr. after apparent conflicts with Mickey Rooney and Lou Gossett. There are currently three cases with alleged charges against Williams Jr. that are pending. Charges include Attorneys – Unauthorized Practice of Law, a misdemeanor level offense which carries a maximum penalty of 90 days imprisonment, fines of $1,000, or both. One of the cases involves William Junior’s participation in helping detail bylaws for the National Trout Center in Preston, Minn. Williams Jr. was said to have been operating under the name “Williams Consultancy.”
Seventy-one year old David Welford Williams Jr., of Lanesboro, Minn., made an appearance in Fillmore County Court. Williams is accused of practicing law in an unauthorized manor, which in this case is considered a misdemeanor level offense. Though David Williams Jr. may be having a rough time with the law, his father was one who actually sat on the bench as a U.S. District Court judge for years. David Williams Sr. died of complications of pneumonia in May of 2000 at the age of 90. He was the first African American judge, according to the LA Times, to serve west of the Mississippi River. According to records Williams Jr. attended undergraduate school at Stanford University in California where he also attended Stanford University Law School. Williams Jr. was admitted to the State Bar of California in June of 1968, but in October of 1981 was listed as “Not Eligible to Practice Law.” Following that date he was listed under a “Resigned” status.

Chatfield approves parcel split
off track. He said the city was not in the position to speculate about other issues down the road. He said the proposed parcel size of 3.43 acres meets the minimum requirement for lot sizes. Young said he had been presented with someone’s plan to develop 40 or so acres a few days before speaking with Bucknell. He agreed the only question before this body is the split, noting we will do what we can to help them through other steps in the process. The split was approved. Councilor Robert Pederson stated that it was great that people were interested in moving to Chatfield, Minn. and bringing in business.

City clerk Joel Young noted it is zoned rural residential which allows for agricultural uses, adding it would be up to the Planning Commission to deal with whether or not a business would be allowed. Bucknell was concerned about the maintenance of the street in the winter as Mrs. Bucknell runs a day care. He was interested in the possibility of developing the nearly 40 acres on the other side of the road. After some detail about the couple’s plans, city attorney Fred Suhler suggested they were getting

Spring Valley briefed about SE AgStar announces winners of Minnesota Initiative Fund Purple Ribbon Video Contest By Gary Peterson Jennifer Nelson representing the Southeast Minnesota Initiative Fund appeared before the council and explained the objectives of the organization in the coming year. She said that the priorities would be Economic Development and Early Childhood. Funding for the projects will come through SMIF to individual Counties. Fillmore is in line for approximately $80,000. Board member Sue Kolling said that Farmland Retention will be another subject. That consists of farmers that give a gift for land in hopes that it will be retained by members of the family to keep values and traditions in the rural area. David Wetter appeared before the council to address the possibility of having their property annexed into the city of Spring Valley. His property 2310 West Tracy road is currently surrounded by the city. As part of the action Mayor Struzyk said he would be meeting with Public Utilities next month to discuss providing water from utilities and sewer to be provided by the city. There is approximately 11 acres that serve as open space for the eight horses on the property. There will be a conditional use
permit that will have to be obtained through the Planning and Zoning Commission for final approval. The upcoming budgets and work sessions to deal with LGA funds which have decreased over the past three years. The South Park might be seeing some permanent toilets in the near future to get rid of the porta potties. The city is currently spending $500 per month for rental of the Porta potties. The council discussed the hesitancy of people at the park to use the portables and inquiring into the costs that might be realized by making the upgrade. The concession stand came up as a discussion item. The city is considering to hire part time summer help to work in the stand. Mayor Struzyk said that perhaps different church groups could volunteer to staff in and donate their hours. Spring Valley Ambulance Association received permission from the Council to send one of their ambulances to Grand Meadow, Minn. to take part in a disaster drill in September. Council didn’t have a problem if it didn’t result in some staffing issues in Spring Valley.
Mankato, Minn. – AgStar Financial Services, a value-added financial services company owned by its client-stockholders, announced the winners of the second annual Purple Ribbon Video Contest, a contest held to encourage youth to showcase their role in agriculture. The three winners of AgStar’s Purple Ribbon Video Contest are: Rosemary Edberg (14-15 year-old category), Paul Aarsvold (16-18 year-old category), and Richell Mehus (19-21 yearold category). They were each awarded a $500 scholarship from the AgStar Fund for Rural America. Three runners-up were also awarded a $100 scholarship. Winners were announced at the Minnesota State Fair before the 4-H Auction on Saturday. “These young adults are the future of agriculture,” stated Joe Deufel, executive vice president and chief credit officer at AgStar. “By offering these scholarships, we’re recognizing youth for their hard work and encouraging them to continue their dedication to a life in agriculture.” Call today to receive your paper today! 765-2151
Contestants created a twominute video detailing their preparations of livestock for the fair. In their submissions, youth were also asked to highlight either the importance of agriculture or its impact to the world for a non-agriculture audience. Contestants then competed for “likes” on their videos, and the winners of each age group were awarded the scholarship.
