Rushford approved R-P site plan; landowner continues to object By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The Monday, September 14 Rushford Council meeting had several in attendance, including Rushford-Peterson District Superintendent Chuck Ehler, R-P School Board Chairman John Linder, and Ron Spoden, Landscape Architect with architectural and engineering firm ATS&R. According to the agenda statement, site plan details have been under review for several months by ATS&R, Otomo Engineering, Public Works, and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Included in discussion were setbacks, parking, handicapped parking, loading berth, drainage, land disturbance regulations, utilities, landscaping, traffic flow, and general plans. The council discussed preliminary site plans at the August 24 council meeting, but tabled a decision pending clarification of certain items. The new plan review highlighted updates and clarifications, as well as subsequent agreements

ATS&R CE – “In compliance with all city ordinances, rules, and regulations.” ATS&R and Otomo Engineering have worked cooperatively on clearing up detail items, although the city notes there are still some details, including double checking calculations, which need to be checked. Included in the clarification were details on utilities, specifically water utility. According to engineer’s comments, the city is not requiring the installation of ductal iron waterline, although it is preferred. Should plastic piping be used, a tracer wire would be required. The city plans to assume control of the ductal iron water main after installation only on the east and west portions of the building. This portion contains “stub-outs” and will be provided to allow other residents to connect to the main via lateral line instalSee RUSHFORD Page 15

Berg says “many of the athletes are on a limited budget and cannot afford the costs associated with travel expenses” to attend competitions. Berg explains “we count on generous donations to assist each athlete so they are able to participate with no financial barriers” and adds that “your contribution will help us reach one more person, one more athlete” that will be able to compete. The athletes train and compete here in Minn. and “our athletes are inspiring” and “take our breath away every day with their spirit, strength, resiliency, determination, and enthusiam”, says Berg.

Berg says “through sports, our athletes celebrate their abilities, not their disabilities” and have a great time while being active. According to Berg, “Special Olympics Minnesota is founded on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy, and benefit from participation in individual and team sports, adapted as necessary to meet the needs of those with intellectual and physical difficulties” and this fundraiser will give our athletes right here in Fillmore County the funds necessary for them to compete. Berg asks area businesses and residents to “please come and support our team” as the athletes are ready, willing, and able to compete.

Mabel-Canton high school ranked as Reward school
By Hannah Wingert The Mabel-Canton school board met on September 15 at 7 p.m. All board members were present. They extended congratulations to the student athletes for the great fall season.

Dean of Students Michelle Weidemann gave her report to the board. She noted that school got off to a good start this year. The elementary school has been ranked as a Celebration school and the high school has been ranked as a Reward school. The high school is the only school in the region ranked as a reward school and it is an honor to receive such a high ranking. The homecoming coronation will be held on September 29 after the girls volleyball game. Fifty students have joined FFA this year. Weidemann said that, as of October 1, the SAC program will not have any children registered for the morning session before school. The afternoon session has 7-9 kids everyday after school. The board decided to send a letter to parents notifying them that as of October 1, the SAC program will not be offered in the mornings. Weidemann will ask SAC coordinator Sue Morken if she would be willing to have the program open during calendared late starts, which occur every other Wednes-
day morning. Backer noted that there are currently 252 students enrolled at Mabel-Canton. There are eight students in need of an English Language Learners class. Currently, the district does not offer that program, but Backer is looking into starting a class with a qualified ELL teacher. The next meeting will be held October 20 at 7 p.m. The Truth in Taxation meeting will be held at 6:01 p.m. on December 15, followed immediately by the regular board meeting.

C ommentary We need to look at the foundation before buying the “house”! By Yvonne Nyenhuis The Donald Trump charade reminds me of a comment I heard many years ago, “If someone runs down the street wearing long red underwear and carrying a Yvonne pitchfork there Nyenhuis will be those who will follow!” Never has a candidate talked so much and said so little! If we are to keep democracy a prevailing force in our country, we must sustain an informed electorate. Our children and grandchildren will inherit tumultuous and rapidly changing events as the future opens before them. If we are wise we will prepare them to meet the challenges they will face through education. If they are disdainful of government, succumb to cynicism and apathy, the vision of government “of the people” will die and darkness will fall upon the earth. Students today must be given the tools they will need to cope. They need to be taught critical thinking, prudence, and restraint. The media tends to fan the flames of controversy. The “war on women”, science versus religion, the struggle between labor and industry, bombs or diplomacy and of course “big” government versus “small” government. Passion is a good thing, but it needs to be tempered by reason. In decision making, we need to pursue truth, facts and evidence. Our actions have consequences as plainly evident in our invasion of Iraq. I remember Wolfowitz maintaining that the war in Iraq would be paid for by the oil wells. Is Donald Trump serious when he promises to build a wall between Mexico and the United States and assures us that the Mexicans will pay for it? Editorial Cartoon
Students going through school must be taught about the structure of government, the process by which legislation is achieved, and how laws provide a framework for our daily lives. I recall my eighth grade civics teacher raising his fist in the air and thundering “If you don’t remember anything else, I want you to remember ‘Habeas Corpus!’” Habeas Corpus states that if arrested, we can not be held without significant evidence of wrongdoing. It should here be noted that after “9-11”, the Patriot Act was made law in an effort to tighten national security. This law weakens the writ of Habeas Corpus, permits discrimination against Muslim Americans, and infringes on our civil liberties. How we vote makes a difference. If Al Gore had become President in 2000, we would not have invaded Iraq, we would not have drafted the Patriot Act, and we would be further along in developing alternative energy. Our current candidates for President like to talk about the importance of “leadership”! They are euphoric as they describe their vision for the future once they take over the White House. In reality the President must have the support of Congress in order to advance his (or her) agenda. There are 535 members of Congress, each with their own loyalties and convictions. The President also will be sought out by members of the Pentagon, Wall Street, Corporations, and Foreign countries. The most valuable trait a President can have is “good judgment”! As Rudyard Kipling wrote, “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you - Yours is the earth and everything in it and, which is more, you’ll be a man my son!” One of the first tests a candidate has on being nominated to represent his (or her) party is choosing a running mate. John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin in 2008 was a flamboyant and
dramatic gesture. John McCain tends to be impulsive and take risks. If they had won, Sarah would have been a “heartbeat” away from being President. Now there’s a sobering thought. Sarah Palin running this country staggers the imagination! Yet in November, voters cast their votes, 66,882,230 in their favor! Daily we hear cries throughout the land against the establishment, against Congress, and the government. It’s as if those who reside in Washington come from another planet! The Government is us. We are the Government! All of the 535 members of congress are sent there by us. They come from our neighborhoods, our communities! We pay their salaries! We elected a Democrat to be President in 2008 and again in 2012. In 2010 impatient voters fueled by unrealistic expectations installed Republicans in the House of Representatives, causing their party to have a majority. For five years I have listened to the talking heads in the media criticize the President. At times their narrative has been drowned out by the roar of an angry public complaining about “obstructionism” in congress. It is said to be the most ineffectual congress in the history of our country. Filling the House with Republicans who are in direct opposition to everything the President stands for is probably not a wise strategy for “getting along”, solving problems, and moving the country forward. It appears that Republicans have two speeds, stop and reverse, but this shouldn’t surprise us. They are doing what they were sent there to do. The bigger betrayal in the mid-term election resulted from Democrats who failed to vote! We have wasted the last five years blaming the President and blaming Congress but the responsibility for what is happening in Washington is the result of our own choices. We brought this on ourselves!
One Moment, Please... Boots & Badges progress By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com On a daily basis, I run into people who are curious about where our team is at in the process of publishing Boots & Badges: Honoring Fillmore County Veterans. And, in all scenarios, I share the Jason Sethre challenges we face with publishing a weekly newspaper while also assembling a compilation of generations of military history for Fillmore County. Ideally, it would be nice to have a cloning machine, so our clones could work on the weekly newspaper while we work on the Veterans book. But, that’s not an option, yet. Instead, our staff balances the daily grind of the weekly newspaper while intermittently changing gears to work on “the book” as it has come be known in our office. Adrienne Britson has her part. Ellen Whalen has her part. I have my part. And, Jana Olson, our Creative Director, works solely on the book -- removed from all aspects of the newspaper. Adrienne, Ellen, and myself are teetering between the newspaper and the book -- more so Adrienne and Ellen, at this point. But, Jana has the responsibility of laying out every page of the book, a tremendous challenge by all measures. With over 3,000 Veterans represented in the book, we don’t take our responsibilities lightly. Nothing less than perfection is expected by those who have Letter about “ dirty hippie...” To the Editor, Just couldn’t let Eric Leitzen’s reference to John Lennon as a “dirty hippie” go by without comment. Eric is right in recognizing Lennon as a Boomer icon. His song “Imagine” was an anthem of hope for many of us. Lennon’s take on what is possible in this world, given enough commitment to wage peace instead of war, continues to inspire. His death was yet another blow to a generation that lost its dreamers and peacemakers one by one. Where the “dirty” is in that I don’t know.. Lynne Farmer Rushford, Minn.
A Great Read!
entrusted with a piece of their family history. While working on Boots & Badges: Honoring Fillmore County Veterans has been a new experience in itself, it has also made our newspaper better in ways probably not recognized by the general public. For the sake of the newspaper, some things we’ve discovered with this project is that it has required more cross-training, which is usually a good thing. While Jana was regularly involved in the layout of the newspaper prior to this project, others have had to step in to fill her role. In many ways, the book has made our team stronger, more experienced, and more knowledgeable. And, this process has also helped us to realize how much we look forward to having Jana become a part of the newspaper again. But, at the end of the day, when people ask any of us how the book is coming along, we all keep thinking about the finish line. We will be approaching the finish line in the near future, sending the book to press, and then sharing the final product with everyone. And, based on the pages of the book that I have seen in production mode, we are looking forward to an outstanding finished product -- something to be treasured, in all regards. Thanks again for your patience. We are looking forward to sharing Boots & Badges: Honoring Fillmore County Veterans with everyone in the very near future.

Preston council dissects 2016 budget proposal By Karen Reisner A nearly three hour September 10 special meeting of the Preston City Council allowed the council to closely examine each department’s proposed budget. The council will certify the 2016 budget at its September 24 meeting to be held at 8:30 a.m. A recent draft of the budget would require an 8.33% levy increase. If the council decides to go ahead with conduit financing to assist with a senior living project in Rochester (Madonna Meadows and Madonna Towers), a one time payment for administrative costs could be used to reduce the budget further, requiring a levy increase of about 5%. A public hearing on the conduit financing will also occur on September 24. Police chief Matt Schultz said the only significant change in the police department budget was $20,000 for new equipment.

requires squad cars to have e-charging. Paper tickets will no longer be accepted. Schultz suggested that the department may be able to get used state patrol computers for free, which would reduce the cost to $4,500 per squad car. Without the capital outlay budgeted for e-charging the police department would have had a budget reduction due to a reduction in total salary expenses. Ambulance director Ryan Throckmorton explained there was little change in the ambulance budget. The city’s portion of the fees paid to the ambulance service is $9,982 or $7 per capita. This number has not changed since 1999. The city provides about 5.5% of the service’s total revenue. Throckmorton said that expenses are up significantly and it is time for a per capita increase to keep up with inflation. The ambulance service reimburses Preston $3,000 per year for office space and associated expenses. City administrator Joe Hoffman noted that the service had a significant fund balance for years, but now has a full time director, has replaced ambulances, and purchased other equipment which together have greatly reduced that fund. Public works director Jim Bakken said there was a $9,200 increase in the equipment fund. With an aging plow truck Bakken expects to have to purchase a new truck costing at least $170,000 in 2017. He suggested it would be best to eliminate two of the three oldest trucks, replacing one. Two pick-ups with plows owned with the utility would be more suitable for work within the city. The other truck would be scheduled to be replaced in 2023. He maintained that it is best to make sure there is money in the capital outlay fund, so they are not forced to borrow from the street maintenance fund for necessary purchases. Due to upcoming bond payments for the 2014 large street project, no money
will be set aside for the street maintenance fund in 2016. Park budgeting was also reviewed by Bakken. The capital outlay budget is unchanged at $10,500 for mowing equipment and swimming pool repairs. Hoffman noted the increase from $500 to $1800 for tennis courts was to build a reserve to resurface and repair courts when it becomes necessary. He said the building of that reserve is at the council’s discretion. Tourism director Sarah Wangen updated the council on tourism promotion activities that she is working on. There will be a completely newly designed brochure. Advertising in the brochure will provide $1,900 in revenue. The budget for special events was slightly increased, due to a planned bicycle riding event. The budget for advertising and salaries has been increased. Wangen said she was actively participating in the Trail Towns group. EDA director Cathy Enerson noted there was 0% change in her budget from last year. There was an increase in her contracted services which was offset by a decrease in the development incentive fund. Library director Beth Anderson stated that expenses and salaries go up every year. These increases are out of their control. She said the lift has broken down, which was installed in 1996. Bakken said they are waiting for parts. The carpet and the canopy need to be replaced, possibly also the lift. Councilman Robert Maust asked about the $134,000 in the library reserve fund. Councilman Charles Sparks noted that much of that is Memorial money that has to be used for designated purposes. Maust noted that the library budget showed the largest percent increase for 2016, asking if it could be reduced to a 4% increase. Anderson suggested that it would require a reduction in acquiring library materials and these materials

are what make a library. Maust asked if the Memorial money could be used for capital outlay. Anderson said money in reserves will be used for the carpet and canopy and this money is not part of the 2016 budget. Maust suggested that the $1,500 budgeted for capital outlay and the $1,000 budgeted for new equipment be zeroed out. He wanted to have those expenses come out of the Memorial funds. National Trout Center coordinator Richard Enochs said the NTC board has decided to hire a consultant (to be paid by the hour) to teach board members tools and techniques for successful and effective fund raising. The intention is for the board to do the fund raising themselves. Up to $10,000 has been budgeted for the consultant. Maust asked about the fact that there is $10,000 more in the NTC checking account at this point in the year than last year. Enochs said they have reduced expenses substantially with his being the only salaried position ($12,000). The other major expense is rent for the building. He maintained if the center is going to be successful in the long term, the board members will have to do the fund raising. Maust asked why the city should donate the same amount to the center next year as it did last year when the NTC has more money in its account. Enochs said with reduced personnel costs, if the consultant delivers, there could be a substantial surplus next year. He assured Maust that they will come to the city if the fund raising is a success, therefore, requiring less city support. The city’s donation (city and EDA) budgeted for the NTC for 2016 is $30,500. Mayor Kurt Reicks maintained the NTC has decreased expenses and is looking to the future, suggesting the council wait and see what happens with the fund raising. Maust argued that he was against funding the center the budgeted amount when the center has more money in its account than it did last year. George Spangler said the consultant
Page 5
will be paid partly in 2015 and partly in 2016. Hopefully, we won’t spend all of the $10,000. The little bit of surplus this year is due to less personnel, adding that expenses have been static over the last three years. Spangler noted that the center is legally restricted to not show a profit (501c3 status). He maintained that it took the National Eagle Center 15 years and Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center 30 years to become self sustaining. Preston benefits from the people the center brings into the city. He argued against cutting city support. At this time, we don’t know the potential of the board’s fund raising. Enochs reminded the council that $400,000 in Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage grant money will be used to restore the Root River and provide better access within the Preston city limits. He suggested this money would not be flowing into Preston without NTC involvement. Maust and councilman David Collett disagreed. Councilman David Harrison stated, the fact is, they are showing some surplus at this time and that is a good sign. He continued saying he can understand their hesitancy in guaranteeing that a specific amount can be raised through fund raising. He said it is too soon to be cutting back on the city’s donation. Maust said it is going into the seventh year and the council was told it would be five years. Reicks commented that everything doesn’t always work out as planned, suggesting they keep the funding where it is another year. Sparks added that we have seen some improvement, something has to start kicking in, then we can start weaning them off. Reicks reported for the Fire Department, saying basically the only change in the budget is salary related increases. Sparks commented, after hearing from all the departments, seeing what the departments are planning, makes it a lot clearer than just seeing the figures on a page.
Rushford Village approves preliminary levy increase By Kirsten Zoellner The 2016 budget was at the forefront of the Tuesday, September 15 Rushford Village Council meeting. Last year’s $375,000 levy has been the starting point for budget discussions, but the city has been cautious about not limiting future revenue as the financial hits keep coming. The city has been losing some $20,000 in Local Government Aid each year as state aid for cities
continues to fall. In addition, costs are rising, including a $18,000 whammy the city received from Harter’s Quick Clean Up Services for contracted garbage pickup. Pavement management of the city’s streets also continues to be a front-running priority as the city tries to get a handle on a maintenance schedule for deteriorating roadways. A bond issue estimate from financial consultant Mike Bubany notes annual payments for

a 10-year bond on street improvements could be $140,000. “That’s not adding anything,” stated Mayor Gordon Johnson. “This is strictly maintenance.” Clerk Kristina Mart relayed that Bubany advises the city to put as much into 2016 as possible, at a minimum covering what could be a first bond payment. The council discussed the need to up the funds directed from the levy to roads and several levels were discussed. “I’m inclined to set it at $425,000. We can bring it down if we can,” said councilor Dennis Overland. “I don’t think we want to see anything lower than that starting out,” echoed councilor Chad Rasmussen. Clerk Mart agreed it was a good starting point. City Treasurer Judy Graham stated she wasn’t as concerned about numbers at this point of the year, as information on final amounts isn’t revealed until the end of the year. “We’ve got some variables,” added Johnson. “I think you’re within reason to look at that number and say, ‘That’s where we start.’”
Overland motioned to set the preliminary levy at $425,000 with the caveat that the council work diligently to reduce the number if possible. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously. “Hopefully, we can come down from there.” The city will set the final levy in December. The amount can be lowered, but not raised, from the preliminary levy amount. The city has seen good work on ongoing projects. The Tuff Lane bridge replacement, with box culverts, is nearly complete. Additionally, blacktopping work is proceeding on schedule. There was some setback with work on Cooperative Way. Work to repair failing concrete panels and to do joint sealing began August 18 with contractors Pember Companies, Inc. and Fitzgerald Excavating. A problem has arisen with the joint sealing estimates. “It’s not a good deal,” noted Public Works/ Maintenance Supervisor Travis Scheck. According to Scheck, Pember Companies, Inc. had estimated the See ViILLAGE Page 13

athlete of the week
By Paul Trende Already midway through the high school football regular season, and one thing is certain. No county team will go undefeated. Two entered week four The Trende 3-0. They Report lost. Two entered at 2-1. They won. It left four teams, Fillmore Central, MabelPaul Trende Canton, Chatfield, and Houston all at 3-1 on the season. Foss and Dux Dominate PI The Gopher football team made their head coach Jeff Johnson happy. Chatfield trekked to his high school alma mater and thoroughly dominated Pine Island. Led by junior tailback Parker Fossum, and senior fullback Carter Duxbury, the Gophers blanked the Panthers 33-0. Duxbury, a 6’2” 200-pounder, had 9 carries for 102 yards and three rushing TD’s, plus 6 receptions for 100 yards. Thirteen of his fifteen touches produced either scores or first downs. Fossum, the Southeast White sub-district second leading rusher, nearly put together his third consecutive 30-100 game. The 6’3” 190-pounder had 29 carries for 103 yards plus a leap-steal-and-go 55-yard interception return TD. Dillon Bance was highly efficient (9-12, 106 yards passing), hooking up with Noah Brogan on an 8-yard scoring play. But the Gopher defense was the real star. PI accrued three
first downs on their second possession, their only three first downs of the game. The Panthers overall were held to total 78 yards, ten in the second half. The win was Chatfield’s third straight. They are 3-0 in sub-district play, 3-1 overall. That’s tied with #1 Caledonia (3-0, 4-0) atop the district. Third place Triton (2-1, 3-1) looms in week five. ‘Canes Score 46unaswered, Down A-C Houston spotted new district foe Alden-Conger an 8-0 lead before ripping off 46-unaswered points. The double H’er’s downed the Knights 46-24 in South-East district play. Tylor Nelson was 6 of 7 passing for 121 yards and 3 TD’s. He hit fellow seniors Jeremiah Johnson (52 yards, 13 yards) and Trevor Lundberg (37 yards) for scores. Johnson totaled three receptions for 72 yards while intercepting his seventh pass of the season. Nathan Lee had 12 carries for 156 yards and two TD’s (27 yards, 40 yards). Garrett Paulson (25 yards), another senior, and Jaytin Millen (36 yards), a freshman, added rushing TD’s. Paulson finished with 10 carries for 60 yards, Millen 10 carries for 83 yards. Houston racked up 490 yards of offense, 369 on the ground. Alden-Conger got 159 yards and 2 TD’s rushing from Lucas Van Engelenburg. The win is the ‘Canes’ third straight after a narrow 10-8 loss to Randolph in week one. They had three wins all of last season. It’s their first 3-1 start since the Section runner-up squad of 2009. It sets up a week five match-up with fellow 3-1 squad Mabel-Canton. The two teams are part of a three-way tie for second (with Randolph) behind 4-0 clubs #2 in 9-Man Spring Grove

Just three weeks into the volleyball season and six of the seven FCJ covered teams have already gone five sets. Of the total 21 best-of-three matches, eight have gone five sets. Chatfield and R-P got big comeback wins. Gophers Rally Big Past Caledonia It marked a pretty tough stretch of volleyball for the Chatfield girls. Coming off a 3-0 sweep by very tough Class AAA squad Rochester-Mayo, the Gophers took on Caledonia and promptly dropped sets one and two. They were barraged in game one (trailed 18-1), not earning a point until a Sheridan Salisbury kill that made it 23-6 Warriors. Caledonia won 25-7. Set two was competitive, but five Gopher service errors,
and a 5-1 Warrior run to end the game (25-20), had Chatfield on the wrong end of their first non-tourney five-set losing streak in a long time. But there’s an adage about it always being darkest right before the dawn. The teams put together a competitive game three (eight ties) right up until Gopher senior Brooke Adler took over. The 5’10” outside hitter accounted for six straight Chatfield points, turning a 17-17 tie into a 23-18 lead. Chatfield prevailed 25-20. Game four was all Chatfield. The Gophers took advantage of a number of Warrior hitting errors, including three in a row three times. They evened the contest with a 25-14 win. Game five was a microcosm of the match. Caledonia led 4-1. Adler took over with four kills in six total points, giving Chatfield a 7-5 lead. The Warriors retook the lead 11-9. Chatfield scored six of the final seven for the 15-12 win, the improbable come-from-behind (7-25, 20-25, 25-20, 25-14, 15-12) victory! They won games three-thru-five after leading just once (2-1) in games one and two. Seniors Adler (20 kills), Salisbury (17 kills, 15 digs), Maddy Muller (42 assists, 18 digs), Danielle Kramer (6 kills, 22 digs, 17-17 serving), and Megan LaPlante (20 digs) led the way. The Gophers move to 2-0 in the TRC, 2-1 overall. Trojans Deja-Vu Bulldogs A year ago, R-P’s volleyball team trekked to Plainview to play the Bulldogs. R-P took set one, PEM sets two and three, before the Trojans rallied in game four and five to take the match in five games. In a near exact repeat, the 2015 match between the two clubs went the same way. R-P grabbed set one (25-19) before PEM took the 2-sets-to-one lead (22-25, 17-25). The Trojans then again rallied in games four (2518) and five (15-10) for the three-

and #1 GM. FC, M-C Fall In one of the area’s marquee week four showdowns, Class AA #6 Lewiston-Altura (3-0) overpowered Class A #10 Fillmore Central (3-0). FC stayed in it for a quarter, recovering three Cardinal fumbles. But L-A scored 35 second quarter points. They prevailed 45-13. Ryan Flathers (12-96, 3 TDs) led a Cardinal rushing attack that totaled 382 yards. Brady Lange (5-88, TD) and Bradley Miller (10-82) also neared 100 yards rushing. Peyton Schumacher (7-11, 81 yards) tossed TD’s to Cullen Neeck (20 yards) and Taylor Matzke (15 yards). FC got an 82-yard Trace Tollefson second quarter kick-off return TD, and a 22-yard Riley Means to Sam Rustad TD pass (the junior’s third catch, third score of the year). Means (5-13, 105 yards, TD, INT passing; 8-45 rushing) led the Falcon attack. FC played without leading rushing RB/LB Tyson Ristau (toe). They are now 2-1 in sub-district play, 3-1 overall. That is tied with Goodhue (2-1, 3-1) behind Lewiston-Altura (3-0, 4-0). Meanwhile, Randolph scored 28-unaswered points out the gate versus M-C. The Cougars got to 28-14 at halftime but fell 42-22. Rocket senior David Speight connected on 23 of 28 passes, for 321 yards, 4 TDs, and an interception. Drake Speight (10-130, 2 TD’s receiving) was his favorite target. The senior (11-53) added a rushing TD. Billy Siebenaler (18-102 yards, TD) led the Rocket ground game, while Charlie Willie Jr. (51-yards) and Connor McElory (6-yards) caught TD passes. Randolph racked up 533 total yards to M-C’s 394. Trailing, the Cougar running game was held to 254 yards. Wayne Ross had 20 carries for 125 yards and a TD. Freshman QB Drew Wyffels was 6 for 19 for 140 yards and scoring strikes to Talon Peterson (35 yards) and Pierce Lind (3 yards). Mitch Kuhn added 96 all-purpose yards (5-48 rushing; 2-48 receiving). M-C falls to 3-1 overall and in sub-district play ahead of a match-up with fellow 3-1 squad Houston.
sets-to-two win. Brianna Koop (19 kills, 14 digs, 6 aces) led the way for R-P. Savannah Skalet had 29 assists, Mikayla Crawford had 30 digs. Tatyanna Bronk (13 digs) and Carissa Bieberdorf (13 digs, 20-20 serving) were also actively defensively. The Trojans were able to offset a PEM attack that saw Haley Dessner rack up 35 kills, Morgan Shindelaar 15, and Amber Kingsley 11. Last year, R-P scored 101 total points, PEM 93. This year it went R-P 104, PEM 97. The victory was the Trojans’ ninth. They are now 9-3 on the year, losses coming to state ranked clubs Wabasha-Kellogg and Mabel-Canton (twice). They are 2-1 in the TRC.
Hot Shots
Behind Noah Carlson’s allaround big-play abilities, R-P football downed Hayfield 31-6 to improve to 2-2 overall (2-1 in sub-district play). Lanesboro got win #1, hammering West Lutheran 62-20. Cole Schwichtenberg had five TD’s including four rushing scores. Mabel-Canton volleyball (ranked 4th in Class A) easily downed Hope Lutheran and Houston to improve to 12-0 on the year (5-0 in the SEC). Coranda Vickerman had 8 kills and 21 assists versus the Patriots. Vickerman and Savannah Slafter combined for 13 kills, 13 aces, and 33-33 serving versus the Hurricanes. Dakota Delaney added a season-high 14 kills. R-P volleyball rode Brianna Koop (16 kills) to a revenge sweep of Houston. The ‘Canes beat the Trojans a year ago. FC hohummed through La Crescent to improve to 1-1 in the TRC, 2-1 overall. Lanesboro fell in five sets to Spring Grove. Rachel Kimball had 13 kills and 20 digs, Cassidy Ruud 27 digs.

Chiropractic Care for pain
The term “pinched nerve” is somewhat of a catch-all phrase that is commonly used to describe the pain associated with a variety of conditions from subluxations, to tunnel syndromes to the referred pain from trigger points. Most of the time, what is called a pinched nerve is actually an irritated, or inflamed nerve where the nerve itself is not actually pinched. In most cases, nerves become irritated and inflamed when the bones, joints or muscles of the spine are not in their proper position, or are not moving properly. This condition is called a “subluxation”, the treatment of which is the specialty of the doctor of chiropractic. There are instances when nerves do become ‘pinched’, such as in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Sciatica and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. In each of these cases, injury, spasm or inflammation of the surrounding muscles and connective tissue causes the nerve to become compressed, resulting in pain. These conditions are referred to as “tunnel syndromes.” Treating tunnel syndromes is more complex than treating a simple spinal subluxation, but they usually respond very well to chiropractic care; especially when combined with other physical therapies, such as exercises and stretches. Trigger points are very tight “knots” of muscle that form when muscles are either chronically overworked or injured, and are often experienced as a pinching or burning pain. Trigger points will commonly cause pain that radiates to other parts of the body, which is also known as referred pain. The successful treatment of trigger points usually requires a combination of chiropractic care, stretching and a form of deep tissue massage called ‘trigger point therapy.’ It is very important that the cause of any form of pain be properly diagnosed. This is especially important when nerves are affected as severe or long term irritation, or compression, of a nerve can lead to permanent nerve damage. If you have been told that you have a “pinched nerve” it is very important that you seek professional care from a doctor of chiropractic as soon as possible. Contact us today!
By Karen Reisner Deb Jorgenson and Wendy Kirchner thanked the city of Chatfield for its help in making the 2015 Relay for Life a success during the council’s September 14 meeting. The city’s crew helped to make the event run smoothly. Over $162,000 was raised for the fight against cancer which was the third highest amount raised in Minn. The organizer’s goal was to raise $150,000. About 650 people were served dinner and over 200 were served the 4 a.m. breakfast. Over 325 participated including 30 teams, 8 of those teams were from Chatfield. Jorgenson and Kirchner said the event will be held on July 8 in 2016; this date was approved by the council. Councilor Robert Pederson commented that the luminaries really set it off. There were 2,593 luminaries. The committee will be meeting this month beginning the planning process for next year. Public Works City engineer Tom Kellogg reported that they had received bids for both fiberglass and aluminum aerobic digester covers to be installed on a holding tank at the Wastewater Treatment Plant to prevent freezing of the sludge. Kellogg noted that the engineer’s estimate was $91,000
for fiberglass and $109,000 for aluminum. He commented that the aluminum is a significantly better cover. The council approved the lowest bid from Engineering America, Inc. at $104,700 for an aluminum cover. Kellogg discussed Margaret St. storm water issues. He said councilors Pederson and Paul Novotny had visited the site with him. A solution discussed was a containment system upstream which is estimated to cost up to $50,000. Kellogg discussed a Storm Water Capital Improvement Plan which begins with “the city of Chatfield faces a number of stormwater challenges”. He pointed to several financing options. One source of financing to be considered is a storm water utility fee which would help fund regional improvements. He said in Chatfield a $30 fee could generate $67,000 per year or a $90 fee could generate $200,000 per year. In the study it was estimated that it could cost a total of $3 million to fix the numerous stormwater problem areas throughout the city. The study assumes half the funding will come from the general levy, special assessments, development, and grants. If the other half was stretched over 10 years it would

City Clerk Joel Young noted possible funding sources for the stormwater capital improvements will be discussed at future Public Works Committee meetings. Other business in brief Kristi Clarke, planning consultant, recommended the final plat and site plan for the Chatfield Lutheran Church be implemented. It will create two lots which are both owned by the church. Neighbors and agencies were notified for comment. There were no negative comments. Five conditions will be met. A grading plan will need to be submitted for approval to address stormwater issues and the owners will remove unused aprons for driveways and alleys and replace them with green space. The final plat and site plan was approved as presented. The first consideration of Ordinance #418, Sidewalks (repair or reconstruction) was approved. The ordinance amends the Chatfield City Code. Mayor Russ Smith proclaimed September 18 as National POW/ MIA Recognition Day. Citizens are encouraged to fly the POW/ MIA flags respecting those Americans who were held in captivity or whose fates have never been resolved. Michelle Olig submitted a letter of resignation as swimming pool manager effective at the end of the 2015 pool season. She has served as pool manager for about a decade. Young noted that the council will need to certify the 2016 preliminary budget and levy at the September 28 meeting. He said the city will be getting an additional source of revenue next year from the state through the small city assistance program to help with street maintenance and improvements. The 2015 legislature authorized $12.5 million to be divided among cities with fewer than 5,000 residents. Young said this aid comes after many years of lobbying legislators.

Semcac’s Senior Nutrition Program an asset to Mabel By Hannah Wingert The Mabel City Council met on September 16 at 7 p.m. Mayor Jim Westby was absent. Advisor to the Mabel-Canton junior class, Jordan Nelson, was present at the meeting along with the junior officers to ask permission to use the city streets and Steam Engine Park for the 5K walk/run fundraiser. The 5K will be held on October 10 from 4:30 to 8 p.m. The council approved the request. Carolyn Freese gave a presentation on Semcac’s Senior Nutrition Program. The program has been running in Mabel for quite some time now and people are starting to forget about it. As it does not have an advertising budget, Freese asked for the council’s help to spread the word and gain publicity. The program offers Meals on Wheels
and Senior Dining. Both programs enable seniors to stay independent and in their homes longer. The social aspect of the Senior Dining is a big asset, as well, and helps combat mental decline. Seniors receiving Meals on Wheels also get safety checks. The meals offered are healthy, balanced, and low cost. No one is ever turned away because of an inability to pay and a free will offering is accepted for meals. Seniors are welcome to order a second meal to eat later at home and alternate foods are offered for those with diabetes or other dietary restrictions. Freese pointed out that a common misconception about the Senior Dining Program is that it is welfare, but that it is completely separate. As Mabel does not have a grocery store, the Senior Nutrition program is essential to the community. A public hearing was held to discuss

the sewer and water rate increases. City Clerk Karen Larson recommended increasing the base water charge from $5 to $10 and the usage rate from $3.95 per 1,000 gallons to $6.04 per 1,000 gallons. She recommended leaving the base sewer charge at $20 and noted that many cities charge $40 to $50 so Mabel’s rates are relatively low. Larson recommended increasing the sewer usage rate from $5.20 per 1,000 gallons to $6.20 per 1,000 gallons. The council approved the rate increases effective as of October 1, 2015. The minutes of the August 12 meeting were reviewed and approved. The bills were also approved. After the meeting in August, several council members reviewed locations for a handicapped parking spot by the post office. It was decided to eliminate the current spot and replace it with a
handicapped parking spot between the post office and Mabel Clinic, as it can be utilized by both businesses. An application for a zoning permit from Tyler Tweten for replacing his roof and fixing the driveway was approved along with a zoning permit from Nathan Manning for replacing siding and windows. The council discussed the possibility of installing security cameras at the community center. Larson will ask a representative from the alarm company to attend a future council meeting to answer questions. A public hearing will be held during the regular meeting in October to discuss a new ordinance regarding street parking and snow removal. The council meeting was rescheduled from October 14 to the 21st due to a football game on the 14th.

The council reviewed the 2015-16 proposed budget and levy. The levy will increase 2.87%. The proposal was approved and the final budget will be presented at the December council meeting. The EDA has requested to borrow $10,000 from the electrical fund to remove asbestos from several downtown buildings. The council approved the loan. City Maintenance Director Bob Miereau will do a walk-through with Kurt Marx from Davy Engineering on Friday, September 18. They will inspect each property and yard affected by the street project and will present a punch list to Jech Excavating. Miereau noted that he recently acquired samples from 10 homes in Mabel for a round of copper and lead testing. None of the tests exceeded the action level and no further testing is needed at this time.

ing that the $437,126 budget will remain the same as last year, with minimal shifting between funds. The construction fund was not spent last year, so it is continuing to build for use in future projects for the city. Peterson commented that the water and sewer rates are going to need to be bumped up in the future due to repair needs in these areas. Mayor Edwards commented that with three new houses going up in town, it should help spread out the taxes to more households. The resolution was accepted by the council unanimously. Police Officer David Breault presented a resolution to authorize the police department to sign the Master Subscriber Agreement for Minnesota Court Data Services for Governmental Agencies. He explained that this will make it easier to have access to court records as they work toward a paperless system. The resolution carried. Breault also asked for a donation of $1,250 to support the Victim Coordinator position at the county attorney’s office. The person in this position assists victims through the court system, as well as helping with other needs such as obtaining restitution or locating a place to live. The motion to approve the donation was carried. Peterson moved on to discuss the Grant Street alignment bordering a 70 acre parcel owned
by the city. She would like to survey both sides of the 66-foot easement marked for the field in order to reduce the likelihood of unintended trespassing on private property. There is grant and aid money available for a survey, so the city will not have to pay for it. Breault commented that without marking the easement, there will be continue to be issues about whether or not someone is trespassing. The motion to allow Peterson to pursue survey bids passed. Nine owl sculptures on display throughout Houston were purchased with a grant completed by the Houston Arts Resource Council (HARC). Though not all the sculptures are in public right-of-way locations, the city has been asked if they want to accept them as city property. There was discussion as to whether the city can own sculptures if they are located on private property, and the consensus was that they can be owned, rather like “they are on loan to private property owners”, said council member Tony Schultz. City ownership would ensure that the sculptures are taken care of in case of damage, and Mayor Edwards suggested sending a letter to notify property owners of who to contact if there is damage to a sculpture or if they want one removed. The motion to accept ownership of the sculptures if HARC chooses to donate them to the city was approved. Randy Thessing then told the council that the state is changing

Monday, September 21, 2015 its fluoridation level concentration from an average of 1.2 to .7. He is not able to comply as of yet, because of the need for different equipment to check the fluoride level. Mayor Edwards asked, “How does the fluoride get in there?” Thessing explained that it is added at the wells, but he can’t get in to test it at this point. At a later date, he can either inject a more diluted amount, or buy a different pump. For now, he applied for a variance to the state because of the need for a new pump. Peterson reported on a meeting with FEMA about the flood levee recertification. One issue was that Houston’s levy system includes 1,200 feet of Highway 76. This portion was never analyzed by the Corps of Engineers, and now they require it to be proven as sufficient protection against flooding. Peterson explained that she will be working with the MN DOT for soil boring and elevation checks. She is confident that it will work out, and if there are any issues, the Corps should be willing to help out as they were the original designers. The deadline for recertification is January 2017. Tessing next commented on the city benches. Approximately 4 ½ of the benches have been sponsored, but the plan was to order six in order to get the best price, to be sure the benches all match, and to get them placed correctly. He asked for approval for the order of all the benches, though not all have yet been sponsored. Council approved the request. Minutes were approved, and the Animal Control Contract was discussed. “She’s been pretty prompt when I’ve needed her. She’s a good asset,” commented Breault, referring to Marcie Jenson. It was agreed to continue the contract. The council moved on to department reports, starting with Connie Verse for the Nature Center. She presented the fall hours, and talked about the plans for next year, including getting more children’s programs started at the schools. Mayor Edwards asked, “Are you having fun?” to which Verse responded, “I’m having a blast!” Liz Gibson-Gasset has been busy with a multitude of projects at the library, including the summer reading program, the Apollo Music Festival, and Bitty Baby storytime. She has been in the process of applying for grants to replace the public announcement marquee and the computers within the library. She also has a plan to implement a library book bike by next summer to bring books into the community. Nate Bailey has been contacted about building the bike. Gibson-Gasset reviewed the procedures to follow with cash donations and grants that come to the city intended for the library and other departments, so that the library board follows the appropriate method. Mayor Edwards complimented both Verse and Gibson-Gasset on their dedication to programs that involve the families of the community. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, October 13, at 6 p.m. at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

cost at 1,000 feet at $7.25 per lineal foot. Roughly some 3,350 feet will need to be done. Bolton & Menk Engineer Josh Pope, who has been the city end of matters, advised the city to proceed with the joint sealing. Pember offered to reduce the number to $7.10 per lineal foot, but the cost is still excessive to Pope. Pember is contractually obligated to have the corrective work completed by September 15. It is unclear how the joint sealing will proceed at this point. The council also discussed a resolution dealing with fence disputes and the settling of differences. According to City Attorney Tom Manion, the state statute allows the city to request more information if there is a dispute and to facilitate a meeting between parties via written notice. One or two members of the council would be deemed, “fence viewers”, to make an official determination. Additional professionals, such as legal counsel, fencing contractors, and Public
Page 13
Works/Maintenance Director Scheck and Zoning Administrator Pettit, can also be brought in for opinion prior to a decision. Due to the costs associated with information gathering, the facilitation of a meeting, and the hire of any professional opinion, the city is within rights to set a deposit amount, to be paid by the applicant requesting the fence involved in the dispute. This amount covers those potential costs, but any unused amount will be refunded to the applicant. Filing and professional fees can range greatly and while the city doesn’t want to impose hardship on the applicant, the amount must be reasonable. The council unanimously approved setting the deposit amount at $350. Official “fence viewers” in disputes will be Mayor Johnson and councilor Hamilton Peterson. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, October 6, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
Fountain City Council “has no choice” By Barb Jeffers The Fountain city council met on September 10, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. in the city hall. All council members were present. All of the residents of Elm Street attended the meeting to find out the council’s decision on whether they would vacate a 50 foot portion at the end of the road, and keep it unused, or open the road for use as requested by Tom Tienter, of Chatfield, Minn., who recently purchased property adjacent to Elm Street. City Attorney Scott Springer attended the meeting on behalf of the city. No other attorney was consulted on the matter, as Springer did not feel it was a conflict of interest that his firm, Springer & Gumbel, P.A. handled the closing on Tienter’s purchase of his property. Although Tienter has other access to the property, Springer stated “because it’s a platted city street and it gives access to the property, if you were to not carry it out, then the city would have some liability” and said “I think your kind of in a pinch - the law requires you to keep it as a street and finish it off” adding “your hands are kind of tied in that fashion”. Council member Jim Schott asked Tienter if he had a plan, or what he plans on building on the property. Tienter stated “no, because it hasn’t been brought to zoning yet” but stated the shed he plans on building would be 32 x 64 feet. Schott then stated the council would have to open the road saying “we have no choice”. Donna Ulwhelling, who lives at what has been the end of Elm Street, asked the council how all of the snow will be removed in the winter to which Kujath replied “that’s an issue we will have to address at the time” and added that City Maintenance worker, John Hanson, “has already mentioned to me that he was concerned about snow removal”, he said. Motion by Schott, seconded by Ostby, to finish the grade on the north end of Elm Street with a width of twelve feet and a length of
50 feet. Motion carried. Two ten yard loads of rock will be placed at the end of Elm Street to finish the road. Mayor Kujath noted that there is a sewer main and a gas line in that area, saying “that’s another issue for the city is we have an easement to work on that sewer line, and we have to be able to get to it to work on it” which the council will have to look into. Consent Agenda items included Minutes from the August 6, 2015 regular meeting, Treasurer’s report, monthly city bills/Fire Department bills, and Rochester Sand & Gravel. Motion carried. Made a donation to Taste of the Trail in the amount of 200 dollars for this year’s event. Police Chief Mosher gave his report for August. August 18 - attended a meeting on Minnesota Adult Abuse Reporting Center (MAARC). August 29 - report of approximately 50 motorcycles on main street racing and doing burnouts. When a Fillmore County officer arrived there were no motorcycles in town. Charles Shea has requested to have an alley opened between his property and Fountain Lumber. Shea would like the alley to be extended to connect to another alley “which will create another snow removal issue, too”, stated Kujath, and more rock will have to be hauled in. Andy Drake would like to plant two maple trees in the boulevard of his house. The council has no opposition to the trees being planted. A resident noted to City Clerk Ronda Flattum that the fire hydrants in town could use fresh paint and offered to volunteer their time to paint them. Reviewed the contract with PeopleService. There is a choice between a regular service contract and a full service contract. Flattum will contact PeopleService for more information before a decision is made. Motion by Schott, seconded by Gudmundson to approve the 2016 proposed budget. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned.

Obituaries Randy Dean Hatleli Randy Dean Hatleli, also known as Bearhunter, 54, of Rushford, Minn. passed away on Sunday, September 13, 2015, at The Good Shepherd Lutheran Home in Rushford, following a several month battle with Randy Dean Plasmablastic Hatleli Lymphoma. Randy was the son of Merle and Florence (Skarstad) Hatleli. He lived in Rushford all of his life. Randy graduated from Rushford High School in 1979, and received his associate degree from Rochester Community College. Even though Randy suffered from Cerebral Palsy since birth, he was very ambitious and was seldom without a job during his adult life. He worked for the DNR, ORC in Winona, Tri-county Record Newspaper in Rushford, and worked for Walmart in Rochester and Winona for 15 years until he needed to retire due to failing health. Randy was an active member of the Rushford JayCees for a number of years, where he held various offices in both the local and state level. He was a member of the Rushford Lutheran Church. Randy was also honored to be the 33rd Torch Carrier for the Special Olympics Festival. Randy is survived by two sisters:

Randy was preceded in death by his parents and his nephew, Alan Mundfrom. Randy had chosen to donate his body to research at Mayo Clinic in the hope that in doing so, it may help others with medical issues such as he dealt with during his lifetime. A celebration of Randy’s life was held at Rushford Lutheran Church in Rushford at 11 a.m. on Thursday, September 17, 2015, with the Rev. Roger Michaelson officiating. Visitation was one hour prior to the service at the church. Those who knew Randy came to share memories and a lunch with his family in his honor. A private burial service will be held at a later date. Randy’s family prefers memorials to be directed to the Good Shepherd Lutheran Home in Rushford. Hoff Funeral and Cremation Ser-

of flowers, gardening, and birdwatching. Family and friends remember Helen as a friendly conversationalist who at times could be “one tough broad”. Back in the seventies, she drove a Dodge Coronet 440. What looked like an average family sedan had a monster V8 under the hood. While Darold was putting up the annual Christmas lights extravaganza, Helen was firing up the lefse iron or baking “Ma’s Christmas cookies”. Helen had an eye for antiques and loved to go to auctions with Darold. She and her friends had a “birthday club”, as many of their birthdays fell in the same month. To celebrate, they’d meet up at the West Concord Muni for a drink or two. In addition to her husband of 57 years, Helen was preceded in death by her parents and by her twin brother, Harlan. She is survived by her son, Mike (Susan); grandson, Wyatt; sister, Evelyn Drinkall; four nieces; and many grand-nieces and nephews. The family wishes to thank the first responders and medical professionals who cared for Helen, particularly Jane Hill and the staff of Wellington Adult Care in Dodge Center.

lation. The school will maintain control from these points around the back side of the structure. Adjacent landowner to the school site, Glen Palecek, was present at the meeting and presented the council with a letter noting a violation of his access easement of 66 feet on the south and east boundary of the school site. Palececk has presented several such letters at both school district meetings and city council meetings. He maintains his legal counsel has advised him that the school is infringing on his access rights by putting several items on the plan, such as a concrete turn around, signs, and one hydrant, in the easement which he states is to remain clear at all times. This tug of war has put the city in the middle of the issue as conditional use permits have been issued, the property has been rezoned, and plans have been formulated. However, after discussion with City Attorney Terry Chiglo and legal sources at the League of Minnesota Cities, City Administrator Steve Sarvi noted that the issue of the letters and their relevancy is a private issue between the district and the landowner. Chiglo has advised the city to approve the site plan, subject to documents worked out between parties. “It gets us out of the middle,” he added. Should a legal issue be determined at a later date, the process can be delayed or halted through the issuance of building permits. “They assure us we haven’t violated any rights.” The school district had no comment on the letter and list of impediments to the Palecek access easement, having not reviewed it with legal counsel. “It’s been the school’s position that there is no encroachment on easement. It’s a private access,” responded Linder. “It is not something the council would be involved in. The avenues to remedy the issue wouldn’t involve the city. All you need to consider is if the site meets standards. The letter doesn’t affect what’s before the council.” Some back and forth debate continued as Spoden clarified that the plan allows clear access via a 24-foot paved roadway and a 15-foot gravel roadway. Palecek again noted the easement must remain clear and stated his belief that the plans are illegal based upon violation of his easement rights. Palecek main-

tained he had not received the final site plan until August 12 and that all other plans were deemed preliminary. “This is a private matter. The landowner has remedies to address the issue as he’s threatened to do many times. It’s not the council’s problem; not the city’s problem,” responded Linder. Still, some questions remained. “Help me understand. If the list is anywhere near accurate, how does that square with the language? My gut tells me, I don’t want to get the city in the middle of something,” noted councilor Vern Bunke. “I’m trusting you’re not trying to cause harm to any other citizen. That land is important to the city to our strategic plan, our comprehensive plan,” he added to the district. While Spoden stated there are elements there, the district continues to maintain is it not infringing on right to egress and regress. According to the district, rather than a loss to property, Palecek will see improvement to his property access. “He’s on the winning end of the deal,” said Ehler. “We’re very concerned about access to their property,” noted Sarvi. “The point is, in your minds, does he still have access to the property? The district has done something to add some value to the property. We’ve pushed 8-inch water main closer and adjusted plan to ensure that access is there. You have to try and balance these things. We have the school on record talking about perpetual access, they’re going to ensure access will remain,” he continued. “At the core, there has been no diminished value by action of government. Hopefully, all will win at this.” The council approved the site plan in a four to one vote, with councilor Roger Colbenson opposed, subject to restrictions and easements of records. The council also met with new Public Works Director Roger Knutson to discuss how projects are moving along with Knutson at the helm, as well as the hiring of a new Public Works position. “Now is the time to find out if I’m moving in the right direction,” stated Knutson. The council has been receiving weekly updates from the director, which have been appreciated by the council as a great communication piece. There have been significant ongoing topics for the department, including the Emerald Ash Borer
Page 15
infestation, ongoing levee maintenance and work, and street repair and maintenance. “We’re trying to get a handle on a little bit of reorganization,” added Knutson. Per Knutson’s recommendation, and AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) bargaining guidelines, the council has declared a vacancy of Public Works position, Maintenance Worker 1. The council has approved posting of the position, internally for five days. After, if there are no internal applicants who meet necessary criteria, advertisements will go out publicly. The proposed selection process and criteria to be used, including a mandatory process for scoring and ranking potential employees, has been used successfully many times and will meet guidelines as established in the city’s personnel policy, bargaining unit agreements, and state and federal law. Administrator Sarvi noted the methodical process for someone to fill the position and stated the ad will need to emphasize technical aspects of the position, including a valid driver’s license, with ability to obtain a commercial driver’s license within six months, ability to obtain and maintain Class D water and Class D wastewater licenses. The council will need to authorize posting of the position publicly at the next meeting if there are no internal applicants. In other news, the city has approved the sale of two vehicles. One sealed bid was received August 13 for the Public Works Department’s 2007 GMC pickup. The minimum bid requirement was $8,500 and the bid received, from Reliable Pest Management, was $8,600.10. The Police Department’s 2012 Chevy Tahoe squad car will be sold to St. Cloud State University, MN Highway Safety & Research Center. The city was approached by St. Cloud State to utilize the vehicle for training purposes. The sale of $12,500 includes a $11,000 cost for the vehicle and $1,500 for equipment, including emergency lighting, control box, push bumper, and the rear partition. The sale price exceeded the amount received by the city’s last purchaser. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, September 28, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Sue’s Muse By Sue Ommen
Gilbert - searching for a service dog The day has begun. My husband swings his bare feet off the bed and greets our black lab, who is dancing about next to the bed. “Get my socks, Gilbert,” he commands, and the dog excitedly scampers off to the adjoining bathroom and retrieves a sock. He soon appears with the sock dangling between his jaws; tail wagging. Go get my other sock,” he asks and Gilbert eagerly does, as if retrieving socks is a huge game. Next he asks Gilbert to retrieve first one shoe and then another. He complies each time to a “Thanks, buddy”. Another day, unable to find clean socks, Gilbert nudges aside the lid of the laundry hamper and happily retrieves a pair of smelly socks. Of course, he is a dog, and in his opinion, the smellier the socks the better. We chuckle at his antics, but think his sock hunt pretty clever. In fact, Gilbert is more than a clever dog. My husband has had diabetes for over 50 years and no longer feels the symptoms of low and high blood sugar. Gilbert is no ordinary pet, but a highly trained Diabetic Assistance Dog. Now four years old, his black coat is sleek and shiny and his intelligent eyes bright. He has been part of our family for two years, alerting Lu as often as 10 to 12 times a day. Our quest for help started almost two years ago, when desperate for
a solution to the out of control low blood sugars my husband had experienced for some time, our daughter searched the Internet. She found an organization located in Virg., charging $25,000 in payments over three years for their well-trained retrievers. Calls to several owners gave voice to stories of their success and satisfaction with the well-trained dogs. We contacted the organization and signed up. Thus began the search for funds and ideas for fundraisers. We were connected to other applicants who chatted online about their various projects, such as appealing to corporate sponsors for matching funds, selling wristbands, community fundraisers, and golf tournaments. It all sounded exhausting and a huge energy drain. Ken Gunderson, a member of the local Lions Club, contacted the parent organization for a contribution. In this manner, we found out about Can Do Canines, a nonprofit Minn. organization that Lions Clubs support. The relief at not having to put countless hours into organizing projects for funds was immense.

enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities by creating mutually beneficial partnerships with specially trained dogs. Training is provided free of charge to qualified applicants. The only expense is an initial entry fee of $50. Money for training is raised by fundraisers put on by the organization. Can Do Canines train service dogs to increase the independence of those with diabetes, hearing loss, autism, physical disabilities, and seizures. Lu filled out the application with basic information about himself, a medical release form, and names for a professional reference, as well as three personal references. Gilbert had all ready been born into a litter of Labrador retriever pups, all with names beginning with G. When we found out one of his sister pups was named Gina, our immediate response was, “Oh no, it would never work to have a dog named Gina, as our daughter already claimed that

name.” In fact, when Gilbert eventually did arrive, Gina had a serious talk with him. “Gilbert,” she said, I’m sure you and my dad will become good buds. I just want you to know we have a special relationship. I’m right up there in my dad’s affections. I want to make it clear you’re not going to replace me.” Gilbert listened intently, ears standing upright and dark head cocked.
He seemed unimpressed with this declaration, but understood all the same. After her little speech, Gina scratched Gilbert’s back, and they became friends. This series of columns on Gilbert’s place in our lives will be interspersed with information about Can Do Canines and the training of their dogs with Lu, and in general. However, Gilbert will clearly be the star and his stories will play a prominent place.

Houston School Board reviews plans, projects, and power outages By Beth McManimon The Houston School Board met September 15. Kevin Kelleher was absent, and there was no public commentary. Board member Michaeleen Bonner had questions about some of the bills to be paid, including a $4,000 bill for wiring the high school library. Board member Mimi Carlson asked, “These computers, where were they before?” When it was explained that the computers had been moved from across the hall, she continued her line of questioning, wondering if wireless could have been used. Superintendent Abraham clarified that the computers are not wireless, but Chrome Boxes, which are a much better fit to use with the online MNVA. Bonner asked about how often payments are made to Infinite Campus (the student management system), which was stated to be $27,000 per year. Bills were then approved. Also approved were contracts with Heidi Erickson (MNVA MS teacher), Amber Hackman (MNVA MS teacher), Brandy Haglin (MNVA HS teacher), Rebekah Jorgensen (MNVA math teacher), and Mary Ness-Buzzell (MNVA HS teacher). Amy Hanson has resigned her paraprofessional position, and Anna Frauen-
kron’s paraprofessional hours have been adjusted. Superintendent Abraham then discussed staff development goals, stating that the percentages were calculated using last year’s results. Bonner commented on the decline, and Abraham agreed there was a slide, but the 2017 goals remain the same, and “we are going to need to make a bigger jump this year”. Carlson suggested a meeting to set goals for the board, and that the superintendent’s goals should be determined by those set by the board. “I think you’re doing it backwards if the superintendent sets her goals before the board does,” she stated. Board Chairman Tom Stillin indicated his willingness to plan a small committee meeting, and Bonner commented on the need for aligned goals. The district goals and test results are to be submitted December 1. Local numbers were presented for kindergarten through 12th grade as 1,623. Abraham believed this number would bump up a bit since students could still enroll by September 10. Last year, the numbers were 1,543 at this time, so there was a jump of 80 full-time students. “That’s a positive sign,” Abraham noted. Carlson asked, “Do we receive the same funding
for elementary and high school students?” Abraham explained there is more funding for high school students, where the numbers were up. The elementary and middle school levels were lower than last year. Long-term facilities maintenance was the next topic on the agenda. Abraham reported that she met with Unesco and spoke with the project managers for the two projects. The Energy Services Agreement (ESA) deals with items that can be improved through enhancements that will pay for themselves with the energy savings, such as recommissioning the HVAC system at the high school. These projects will begin this fall. The Project Services Agreement (PSA) deals with items that are construction based, such as the new HVAC system at the elementary school. These items are waiting for bidding and bonding to be completed. Abraham spoke about the ductwork in the elementary school, and the sensible plan to put in a false ceiling that would be aesthetically pleasing for the building. Her plan is to have bids with alternates in place by January, so the board can view the options and decide on the bid they are most comfortable with. “It’s a huge project,” Abraham
commented. The District Technology Plan has been rewritten and approved by the board. The plan is referenced in the World’s Best Workforce Plan and is part of the plan to maintain a 21st century school. Extra Principal Duties was also approved, along with four policies dealing with student discipline, bullying prohibition, student sex nondiscrimination, and internet acceptable use and safety. When Bonner asked how the bullying prohibition was operating, Abraham noted that high school students are not allowed to use their Chrome Books until they have signed the bullying prohibition page. Abraham noted that the MDE put all three phases of the LongTerm Facilities Maintenance plan in their levy certification plan. This includes the ESA, PSA, and building addition plans. Since the building addition has no aid attached to it, it would all be levied. She asked that the board state their intent to remove Phase 3 (the planned addition to the building) from the levy certification. Abraham explained that the building addition is still part of the ten year plan, but that it would be wiser to take Phase 3 off the funding plan for now. Abraham also asked to
Whalan tackles zoning issues at September 14 council meeting By Steve Harris Thorny issues around the town’s zoning work, a preliminary announcement of next year’s tax levy increase, and a 2016 Trail Town event were discussed at the September 14, 2015, meeting of the Whalan City Council. Attending the meeting were Mayor Rory Berekvam, council members Dave Rahn, Margaret Chiglo, and Everett Johnson, and City Clerk Lolly Melander. Council member Jim Gustavson was absent. Nearly a dozen town residents and visitors were also present. After unanimous approval of previous board minutes and the monthly treasurer’s report, Whalan property owner Butch Culbertson asked the council about recent personnel changes made to Whalan’s Zoning Committee, why it takes so long for zoning decisions to be made, and to confirm whether those zoning meetings are open to the public. His questions led to vigorous discussion on zoning matters in Whalan, and specifically on recent actions of the zoning committee. The council reviewed the list of “permits not required” by the
Zoning Committee (roof, windows, siding/paint, flag pole, doors, buildings on skids), and “permits required” (carport/lean to, shed/detached garage, additions to house, porch/decks/patio, driveway, fence, mailbox—no charge, sidewalk—no charge). The council voted unanimously to remove mailbox and sidewalk from the “permits required” category. “We’re all still in a learning curve in many ways,” said Mayor Berekvam, who assumed his position on the council in June after the resignation of former Mayor Larry Johnson who had moved out of the town boundaries. “This zoning work can be difficult, and we’re often faced with trying to find people to take on those responsibilities,” said Berekvam. Whalan residents Joan and Ernie Johnson also addressed the council to express their frustration about a recent sidewalk repair project on their property that ran into zoning and permit delays. The next meeting of the Whalan Zoning Committee is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2015, at the

Whalan Town Hall. In other Whalan City Council business Whalan City Clerk Lolly Melander reported that the preliminary tax levy for 2016 has been set at 8%, a figure that will be finalized by the December meeting. “It can go down from there, but not up,” she explained, noting that last year’s process saw the levy reduced to 1%. Wes Harding from the Trail Towns Committee reported strong attendance for the September 12 “Taste of the Trail” event in Whalan. “We had 29 volunteers, five vendors, and many happy attendees,” said Harding. “It is

hold a special meeting on September 29 in order to make sure that MDE has the correct plan in the system before the September 30 deadline. The motion was made to remove the building addition from the levy certification, and approved. “There will still be a flurry of activity,” Abraham commented, detailing the plans for the elementary and high school buildings. Because both buildings will be closed or partially closed for the summer, Chairman Stillin thought there should be a pre-plan to find out what goes on in the buildings during that time so alternate arrangements can be made. “The first day of school came and we were in the dark,” Abraham described opening day. A power outage in the morning could have been stressful, but “I was so incredibly impressed with our staff and our students,” she noted. High school students in the gym thought to hold up their cell phones as Mr. Lundberg continued to teach class, and the second graders said it was the coolest first day of school ever. Power was restored by 8:45 a.m. The next regularly scheduled school board meeting is October 6 at 6 p.m. at the high school. The public is encouraged to attend.
hard to estimate the number of people who came through Whalan that day, but it may have approached 2,000. The vendors were pleased with their sales, and we’re very grateful for the hard work of the volunteers.” He reported to the council that the event is now selfsustaining financially. “We appreciate the community support,” he added. Harding also reported that the Root River Trail Towns Committee will sponsor a bike tour of Bluff Country July 7-10, 2016. Whalan has been asked to be the host town for the riders on the evening/ overnight of July 7, with bikers arriving that afternoon/evening. Whalan will pro-
vide breakfast for them on Friday, July 8. (Jerri Gustavson has agreed to cater that breakfast). Musical entertainment may be part of the Friday evening festivities. The City of Whalan will not have a financial expense for the event, explained Harding, which is being organized by a local biking group. The number of registrant bikers for this first-time event is presently estimated at 50-100. The next meeting of the Whalan City Council will take place on October 12, 2015, at 5 p.m. at the Whalan Town Hall. The next regular meeting of the Whalan Council will take place at the Town Hall on Monday, September 14, 2015, at 5 p.m.

Secrets to keeping an organized shed Despite other intentions, homeowners often turn their garages into storage centers for random, little-used items, leaving little to no room for the tools and even vehicles that actually belong in a garage. Such homeowners may turn to sheds to store their garage overflow and keep yard equipment at the ready, but storage sheds are not immune to clutter, and homeowners may find the very structure erected to keep them organized requires a bit of organization itself.
229 Main St. N Chatfield, MN 55923 507-867-1605
A well-organized shed can save homeowners time and energy, as it’s easy to abandon or delay a project if you can’t find that pair of work gloves you stashed. The first step to any organizing project is to take everything out of the shed and determine just what needs to go back in. Items that do not belong in the shed should be moved to their rightful locations or tossed in the trash if they’re no longer needed. Make a pile of anything that will be kept, a separate one for donations and a third for

garbage. Take inventory of what you have so you know whether you’re missing any items or you have something and do not need to purchase another. Now that the entire shed is empty, you can assess just how much room you have. Utilizing vertical and overhead space effectively can free up areas on the floor for larger equipment. Shelving, racks, pegboards, and any other materials that enable you to hang or store items off the floor are good investments. Visit your nearby home improvement retailer to find items that can simplify your storage. You also may be able to put scrap wood to use to make your own storage shelves or a work bench. Extra kitchen cabinets can be installed in the shed to organize additional items. In order to remember where items go, label or sort them accordingly. Some people like to take organization a step further by tracing the outline of tools hung on the wall so they can be placed back in the same spot after use. This also serves as a visual reminder of which tools are missing and which ones need to be purchased. Don’t forget to utilize shed doors as additional storage space.
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
Hang frequently used tools, such as rakes and shovels, on the inside of the doors so they will always be easily accessible. You also can repurpose storage solutions designed for other areas of the home. For example, magnetic knife holders can be mounted to a shed wall to keep paintbrushes organized. These holders also can be used to keep many small metal tools tidy. Metal funnels can hold twine and string. Thread through the narrow end of the funnel for a handy dispenser. Keep dangerous substances off the floor and out of reach.
Page 19
Gasoline, chemical fertilizers, and other potentially dangerous substances should be stored high up to keep pets and children safe. Make sure the shed floor is sturdy and level. This makes it easier to neatly store larger items. Roll in the lawnmower, wheelbarrow, and any other cumbersome items. Now that more things are mounted vertically, you should find that you have more area to move around. Taking the time to clean and organize a shed can help make anyone more productive.

your landfill garbage. For your safety and the safety of the people working at the event, paint cans that are rusted and leaking should be placed into another container or a plastic bag or two. Aerosol cans, oven cleaners, antifreeze, lawn care products, bug killers, weed killers, all forms of rodent poison, motor oil, outdated fuel (gasoline and diesel), adhesives, and tar are all household hazardous wastes that you don’t want stored in your garage, under your sink, or in your basement, or for that matter, dumped down a gopher hole in a remote site on your property. There are still some mercury thermometers floating around out there. Please bring them to us and we will gladly take them for correct disposal. There are thousands of button batteries used by Fillmore County residents each year, but most of them are finding their way into landfills. Button batteries, like the kind used in hearing aids, even though quite small, contain some not-so-nice elements that may sooner or later, find their way into our drinking water. A set of hearing aids will use up to a hundred batteries each year, which will account for a sizable amount of poison. Burning batteries have been known to explode and cause serious injury. When batteries are burned, they send poisons into the air to fall back to earth with different forms of precipitation. These poisons are polluting our lakes, streams, fields, and forests and sooner or later will find their way into humans by way of the food chain. The same is true for rechargeable batteries that contain cadmium, lithium, lead, and several other elements you don’t really need accumulating in your body. If a battery is rechargeable, it must be recycled. If you have a neighbor or two who are unable to attend this event, check with them to see if they have any items that need disposing and bring those items along with yours. They need to get that stuff out of their house. That is why we classify these materials as hazardous. As usual, explosives, medical waste, business waste, and radioactive waste will not be accepted.

Fences can provide privacy and transform backyards into calming places to relax and unwind. But fences also may lead to disputes with neighbors if installation is not carried out with etiquette. Always place the fence within your property lines, which can be determined by examining a land survey for your home. Inform your neighbors of your intention to erect a fence, and give any concerns they might have substantial consideration. Face the more aesthetically appealing side of the fence outward to the street and to neighbors’ yards. In addition, maintain the fence once it is installed so it does not become a neighborhood eyesore that irks your neighbors.
The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.
There will be the usual charge for tube lights, CFLs, ballast, tires, appliances, and e-waste, but this may be a good day to get rid of these things, as well. If you have any questions con-
cerning the collection of Hazardous Household Waste in Fillmore County, please don’t hesitate to call the Resource Recovery Center at (507) 765-4704 or e-mail me at lpaulson@co.fillmore.mn.us.

provide nutrients for the tree. But wet leaves can be a safety hazard and leaves left on the lawn through the winter can pose a threat to the grass. These are just a couple of reasons why so much effort is placed on leaf clean-up in the fall. The following are some creative ways to recycle leaves that fall from your trees in the weeks to come. Mulch: Shredded leaves can make for a great amendment to fertilizer for garden beds and even the lawn. Leaves lying on the grass can be mulched into small pieces with a mulching mower so they don’t choke the blades of grass. Leaves also can be broken down with a string trimmer, a leaf blower that has a vacuum function or a commercial shredder/ chipper. Add the shredded leaves to a compost pile or use them to fill container plants before adding regular potting soil. Insulation: Collect leaves to mound over delicate perennial plants and shrubs. The leaves will add more warmth to the soil and may help plants make it through harsh winters. Just remove the leaves slowly when spring arrives so that the soil underneath can

Inexpensive ways to boost a home’s curb appeal Curb appeal can go a long way toward making a home more attractive to its inhabitants, as well as prospective buyers, once the house is put on the market. Improving curb appeal is a goal for many homeowners, and while many projects aimed at making homes more aesthetically appealing can be costly, there are ways
for cost-conscious homeowners to improve their properties without breaking the bank. Put your green thumb to use. A well-maintained landscape can dramatically improve a home’s curb appeal. Pay attention to the plants, shrubs, and trees throughout your property, watering them during periods of little rainfall and
You’re ready to buy a house. All you need is the financing. You’ve come to the right place.

trimming them when necessary so your lawn does not look like an overgrown, neglected suburban jungle. Professional landscaping services can help you maintain your property, but even if your budget does not allow for such an expense, you can still make sure your landscape adds to your home’s appeal by keeping a watchful eye on the property and addressing any issues that arise. Maintain your lawn through the colder months of the year as well, making sure no one walks on the grass when frost has settled, as doing so can produce dead spots throughout the lawn. Redo your front door. While their eyes may initially be drawn to a well-manicured lawn, prospective buyers will eventually find their way to the front door. If your door is especially old, consider replacing it. If your budget does not allow for such an expense, you can still give your home’s front entrance an entirely new look by installing some inexpensive molding around the door before giving the door a fresh coat of paint. Molding around the front door can make an entrance more impressive, while a new coat of paint can make a home feel warmer and more vibrant. Plant flowers. Another inexpensive way to make a home more appealing is to plant some colorful flowers around the property. Line walkways with flowers native to your region, as such plants will last longer than exotic alternatives that may not be capable of adapting to the local climate. In addition to lining walkways, hang window boxes filled with colorful flowers or plants outside naked windows. Doing so can make windows seem larger and add some color to your home’s exterior. Another creative way to make use of colorful flowers is to place a few planters at the foot of your driveway and painting the numbers of your address on the planters. This can be both effortless and inexpensive, but it can instantly make a home more inviting to prospective buyers. Spotlight certain parts of your property. Many homeowners focus on improving the curb appeal of their property during the daytime hours, but you can take steps to make a home more appealing at night as well. Solar spotlights placed around trees and other attractive features in your yard can shed light on those areas of your property you’re most proud of, even after the sun has gone down. Solar spotlights won’t add to your energy bill, as they are powered by the sun, and they can make certain accents on your property stand out at night. Improving curb appeal may sound like a significant undertaking, but there are many ways budget-conscious homeowners can make their home’s exterior more appealing without going broke.

northeast Iowa and have spent time working for Iowa State University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the USDA. My family and I are really excited to be in the area and cannot wait to meet everyone and get involved in the community. With the approach of harvest season and the start of Farm Safety Week, I wanted to write a little about farm safety today. Farm safety is a year-round endeavor, but comes to the forefront during critical periods like harvest and planting seasons. During these times it is important to think about the dangers of farming and some of the simple steps we can take to prevent tragedies. • Be safe on the roads. With fall harvest season approaching, the amount of large farm equipment on our roadways will increase dramatically. Every year people are seriously injured or worse in traffic accidents with farm equipment. If you see an implement on the road, be prepared to slow down and when you do pass, try not to pass where implements may be turning across traffic, such as at field driveways and intersections. Farmers - make sure your flashers and slow moving vehicle signs are visible, especially at night. • Be safe off the roads. Our fields are littered with hazards that can cause a range of problems for producers, from minor equipment repairs to serious physical harm. Know the fields that you are working in, such as where the tile lines and terraces are. The long grass next to field driveways can be deceptive, take an extra second and make sure you know where the edge of the driveway is. And be sure to look up as well. Power lines can be reached by many of the large implements used today. • Take the opportunity to teach children. Children are little information sponges, even when we may not want them to be. Be careful of the risky activities you take in front of children when on the farm, they may decide that risky behavior is okay. Instead, take five minutes out in the field or by the grain bin to show a child potential risks and teach them how you actively reduce those risks. • Know when it is time to take a break. Midwesterners pride themselves on being hard workers and, especially during harvest time, will push the hours longer and later. Make sure you know when to take a break. Whether it is a nap in the cab, a walk around the combine, or actually calling it a night, taking a break can help prevent many accidents. It is also important that you take care of yourselves physically by drinking plenty of water and eating some healthy snacks. • Let others know what is going on. Whether you are going out to cultivate the back forty or changing chains on equipment in the front yard, make sure someone knows where you are at and what you are up to. No one can check on you quickly if they do not know where you are at. Also, carry a phone or some other communication device that you can use to get in contact with others when in trouble. • Be careful where you dig. From putting in field tile and drilling wells to replacing fencing and cleaning out ditches, farmers, and contractors are constantly digging in the agricultural landscape. Underground utilities may be lurking where you are digging and damaging such utilities can be detrimental to your health and your bottom line. Use the Call 811 service, as the law states in Minn., before excavation and the potential for digging mishaps will drop significantly. • Protect yourself and others. You are
the leaders in your farming operation and it is up to you to set the tone for everyone else in the operation. If your tractor or combine only has one seat, make sure no one else rides along with you. This can be tough for children who love to hang out during harvest but in the case of an accident it could save their lives. Wear the proper clothing and safety gear. Loose
clothing can get caught in PTOs, which can lead to catastrophic injuries. Hearing can easily be protected by wearing the proper devices. And if you or someone else is in an accident that requires medical attention, seek it out. With a little bit of patience and a little forethought, we can all be safe on the farm. Have a great harvest everyone!

in deep-pit pig buildings has been significantly reduced since the peak of this problem in 2009, foam still can occur. Tragically, that resulted in two fatalities earlier in 2015. To prevent an explosion or a flash fire, ventilate or exchange air in the barn to dilute the concentration of methane gas in the air. The presence of foam bubbles on top of liquid manure in a deep pit contains about 70% methane. Any activity that disrupts the foam releases this stored methane or natural gas can be dangerous. Methane is extremely explosive when between 4 and 15% of the air by volume. If you are not sure if foam is present or if there is only a thin layer, take precautions. Always check for foam when there is any interruption in normal activities. This includes changing (turning) groups of pigs, running soaking nozzles or power washing, agitating and pumping liquid manure in the pit, or any maintenance work (such as welding) inside the barn. These activities disrupt the foam and release methane. If foam is detected in the manure pit prior to any of these activities, immediately take these precautions: Run the exhaust fans in the barn to at least the mild weather or fall/spring ventilation rate. This will provide roughly 25 to 35 air exchanges per hour in the barn or, for a grow-finish barn, 30 to 40 cfm/pig. Use of wall fans are preferable in addition to pit fans, since the airflow rates from pit fans are commonly compromised or reduced significantly by high manure levels in the pit and duct transitions on pit fans. When foam is present, eliminate all ignition sources inside the barn: pilot lights or electrostatic spark on water and space heaters, sparking switches on lights and nonenclosed electric motors, welding, grinding, cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. Extension and research personnel from the University of Minnesota, Iowa State University and University of Illinois developed warning stickers in English and Spanish to post inside pig barns. Stickers will be available from pork producer associations in all three states. For more information, visit http://z.umn.edu/manurestorage.

There are some vehicles that are allowed to display only one license plate: motorcycles; a dealer’s vehicle or vehicle intransit; a collector’s vehicle with a pioneer, classic car, collector, or street rod license; a vehicle that is of model year 1972 or earlier (not registered as a collector vehicle), and is used for general transportation purpose. License plates cannot be displayed in the front windshield or the rear window, they must be displayed on the front and rear of the vehicle. All plates must be securely fastened so as to prevent them from swinging, displayed horizontally with the identifying numbers and letters facing outward from the vehicle, and mounted in the upright position. The person driving the motor vehicle shall keep the plate legible and unobstructed and free from grease, dust, or other blurring material (dirt, mud, snow, etc.) so that the lettering is plainly visible at all
times. It is unlawful to cover any assigned letters and numbers or the name of the state of origin of a license plate with any material, including any clear or colorless material that affects the plate’s visibility or reflectivity. This also includes obstructing license plate brackets that block the state of issuance and tabs. License plates issued to vehicles must display the month of expiration in the lower left corner of each plate and the year of expiration in the lower right corner of each plate. Why do we have two license plates? First and foremost, it is the law in Minnesota M.S.S. 169.79. From a law enforcement perspective it is safer to have two plates. For instance… • If an officer needs to run vehicle information • It makes a suspect vehicle easier to identify if it is encountered from the front or the rear. • If a suspect vehicle is backed into a parking spot it is more easily identified. • Identifying a suspect in a crime (from surveillance images) is easier with front and back plates. • A robbery • Kidnapping • Homicide • A gas drive off If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minn., send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, Minn. 55901-5848. (Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@ state.mn.us.) Twitter: MSPPIO_SOUTH.

Belated, Belated Thank you!!!! We, Keith and Joanne Halverson, want to Thank everyone for their “Prayers” since January 9, 2015 when Keith had his Major Stroke. Thanks to the Mabel Ambulance Crew for their prompt response and safe trip to St. Mary’s E.R. in Rochester. For our son-in-law, Jay, for coming over to assist before we left and for our daughter, Jessica, following us to Rochester to be with us. Thanks to Jay’s family, his mom and his sister’s families for caring for Jay and Jessica’s children so Jessica could be with us and our son, Andrew while we were in Rochester with Keith. We have two wonderful children, Jessica and Andrew, and thankful for them and their families. Thanks to Pastor Mary Woudby for visits, prayers and communion while Keith was at St. Mary’s and WMC, Decorah, IA. Thanks to Msgr. Donald P. Schmitz for his prayers and visits at St. Mary’s. Thanks to Msgr. Pual Heiting for his prayers, calls and cards. Thanks to our niece, Lynne Groves, for her hospitality and her extra room while Keith was at St. Mary’s. Thanks to our nephew, Neil Halverson, for grinding feed and caring for our steers while Keith was seeing how he’d recover. Keith was in Rochester 1/9/15 through 1/21/15 when he was transferred 1/12 to WMC Transitional Care. After a few days at WMC Keith decided to sell the steers. After 10 days at WMC he was able to pivot from bed to WC. Before that they used a sling to get him up into recliner. Once in WC they were able to start him on the RT300 rehab bike which they hooked up electrical stim to his left arm, shoulder, and hand which sent pulses to Keith’s muscles to contract and retrain his brain to actually move his arm and hand. He received excellent care and therapy and worked very hard with therapy and as a result was able to come home on March 20, 2015. He then had home care, P.T. and O.T. for four weeks and then back to WMC for outpatient therapy through the end of June 2015. He is on his own now with rehab. We are so THANKFUL he is home with us and doing as well as he can with all his HARD WORK. Our prayers and yours were answered. Thanks again!!!
