The 31 million dollar question

Over the next several weeks leading up to Election Day on November 6, 2018, the Fillmore County Journal will provide candidates in contested races in our coverage area an opportunity to answer questions that we hope will be of value to voters. On today’s front page, we are presenting two candidates vying for Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer. Both Brian Hoff and Heidi ‘Bly’ Jones were presented with the same questions with a 100 word count limit per answer. Readers can also look for these Q & A write-ups on www.fillmorecountyjournal.com, where the conversation will continue. - Jason Sethre, Publisher of Fillmore County Journal

four incidents this year in the first eight days of school,” she said in a statement to the board. “That’s not a very good track record.” The students wear a sticker designating which child care center they are to be bussed to. However, Halvorson maintains students are being dropped off a block or more away, in an area

with no sidewalks. She further added that students have been dropped at the wrong child care location, missed busses which have arrived earlier than scheduled, and have been left with or walked with no supervision. She suggested the district use one of 17 vehicles registered to the district to bus the children or modify routes to better accom-

modate the children’s needs. She further suggested the district contract with a different bus company that will comply with drop off specifics. “It is not very good odds. Please can we do something to take care of the safety of these little ones?” she asked. See SUPERINTENDENT Page 2 

Since 1856

Since 1901

The Monday, September 17 Rushford-Peterson School Board received several complaints from local childcare providers. During the time for public comment, Heidi Halvorson and Chellsey Olson brought forth a number of safety con-

cerns for the children under their care utilizing the district’s bussing service. According to Halvorson, this year, Bernard Bus Service has begun to drop off students at a designated location rather than at her childcare center, as has been done since 1993. The children range from three to five years of age. “There have been

Olson’s comments were similar, noting five incidents in the first 10 days of school. “I have the same concerns,” she began, before describing the incident of one, young student. “It was his first day of school, his first day at my daycare, and his first day on the bus; that’s not a very good first day of school,” said Olson. “Why is the driver not checking the sticker that’s right on their shirt?” Olson went on to note that she’d spoken directly to Bernard Bus Service requesting the children be dropped at her center. “I was told that if I told anyone he was accommodating my concerns, he could change it right back. I don’t put up with threats like that. That is not what’s best for the kids.” Olson noted she had not spoken to Halvorson about the concerns. “That’s five incidents in 10 days; 50%. If you were performing at 50%, I don’t know if you’d have a job very long,” added Olson. “Please keep in mind this company and the service, or lack thereof, when deciding what’s best for the district.” Superintendent Chuck Ehler indicated he would discuss the matter with Bernard Bus Service and find a workable solution.

In other news, the board has formally approved a policy for the trapshooting team. An issue for several months now, district administration, including Ehler and Athletic Director Dan Bieberdorf, and trap shooting coach Colby Lind, have developed a policy regarding the team, its status, and any funding. The team will maintain its status as a recognized school event. “The district will assist the trap shooting team participants and coaches in securing donations. We hope to have the volunteer coaches (from the previous year), and others to assist with the program. Through a collaborative and cooperative effort, a positive fund balance can and will be achieved and maintained by following these guidelines,” read the policy. Participants will pay a $125 fee and an online registration fee of $35. Actual costs to participants will likely be reduced by fundraising. For the state Clay Target Tournament, participants will pay the entry fee, lodging and meal expenses. These costs may be offset by fundraising as well. For the state high school Clay Target Competition, the district will provide transportation, lodging, and a $10 per meal stipend. When it comes to pay for

coaches, they will reimbursed for all expenses incurred for the team. If the season ends with a positive fund balance, after event and competition expenses are met, the board will consider pay for coaches. This includes one head coach, two assistant coaches, and one range safety officer. “The criteria is spelled out,” said Ehler. “In the event that we’re in the black and able to reimburse the coaches, we will do so.” Board Director Dean Mierau, who has previously noted his support of paying trap shooting coaches similarly to other activity coaches, made reference to a vote by the board to approve $3,500 for part-time positions, including choreographer, musical director, vocal director, and assistant technical director, related to the upcoming school musical. “I think it’s only fair that we do the same for trap shooting.” Ehler acknowledged Mierau’s concerns, but no further discussion was held. “I feel confident we can make that work,” said Ehler. “It takes away some of the gray areas; everything is spelled out.” The board also discussed the timeline for the hiring of a new superintendent. Ehler will not seek renewal of his contract at the end of the 2018-2019 school year. A tentative timeline has been detailed and includes the mailing of flyers and posting of the position November 26. Applications will be due January 11 with review of applicants to begin the following week, narrowing applicants to three to five candidates. Interviews will begin the first week of February and by the end of February the committee will expect to have finalized their choice. Ehler suggested school and community visits for the candidate by conducted with any second interviews held in March. A final recommendation is tentatively scheduled for mid-March

Ehler suggested five members of district leadership, all school board members, four teachers, one paraeducator, one custodian, three members of district office staff, the district administrative assistant and school social worker. “With a new school, I would think we could find some good candidates,” said Board Director John Linder. Board members Jon Pettit and Bonnie Prinsen suggested the committee possibilities were heavy on administration and district staff, rather than teaching staff or community members. “I’m trying to look at the big picture and think community input is important. You can represent an area without the entire area there,” said Prinsen. “I think there’s some other considerations in making the committee workable.” The committee suggestions will be finalized in the coming months. In the Superintendent’s Report, Ehler discussed recent enrollment data. Last year, there were 645 students K-12, and an additional 28 students, ages four to five, in the School Readiness program, three students in

Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), and three foreign exchange students. Thus far in the 2018-2019 school year, numbers indicate 685 students K-12, with an additional 22 students, ages three to four, and 45 students, ages four to five, in the School Readiness Program, six students in ESCE, and two foreign exchange students. The increase of 40 students, grades K-12 this year is a notable achievement for the district. “It’s our highest enrollment in the last ten years,” said Prinsen. The district is estimating 2019-2020 enrollment at 676 students. The school board has approved setting the preliminary 2019 levy at the maximum amount. That decision is based off recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Education and financial consultant Ehlers & Associates. This can be lowered before certifying the final levy to Fillmore County in December, however, it cannot be raised beyond that amount. An informational public meeting for the Operating Referendum will be held Monday, October 1, at 6:30 p.m., in the R-P auditorium. The next regularly scheduled board meeting is Monday, October 15, at 5:30 p.m., in the forum room. The public is encouraged to attend.

C ommentary Conservatives and Liberals By David Webb, MD Lanesboro, MN In his commentary of September 10, Jeff Erding gives a fair description of pragmatism, which however he erroneously conflates with conservatism, and then proDavid Webb ceeds to give his own highly distorted view of liberalism. Better to stick to accepted dictionary definitions of terms and to let proponents of various ideologies speak for themselves rather than to put words in their mouths. From the Oxford and Merriam-Webster dictionaries and Roget’s thesaurus: Conservative — cautious, adherent to tradition, deferential to authority, favoring stability, opposed to change. (Note to liberals: conservative is not synonymous with and does not necessarily connote uncaring, bigoted, racist, fascist, or antiscientific.) Liberal — generous, openminded, tolerant, respectful of individual rights and freedoms, rational, progressive, open to change. (Note to conservatives: liberal is not synonymous with impractical, unpragmatic, lawless, anarchist, communist, or antireligious.) According to conservative authors and scholars, such as David Brooks, William F. Buckley, Roger Scruton, and George Will, conservatism is an ideology that arose during the Age of Enlightenment. In France, England, and her colonies, Enlightenment thinkers, such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Locke, and many Editorial Cartoon

of the founding fathers of our nation, rejected the divine right of kings, proclaimed the essential worth of all human beings, posited that free individuals could come together to establish order by making a social contract, i.e., that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. Conservatives (called Tories in England and the colonies) fundamentally disagreed with such liberal ideas. They argued that individuals could not just come together to govern themselves, but rather that the institutions of family, schools, communities, nations, and religion, which they deemed their “sacred space,” were necessary to constrain human nature and to establish order, and that individual freedoms justly derive from established order. For liberals, the cardinal virtue was critical thinking, for conservatives, obedience. As Scruton put it, “The [chicken or egg] question of which comes first, liberty or order, was to divide liberals from conservatives for the next 200 years.” At best, the two have agreed to disagree with a measure of civility; at worst, disagreement has led to wars. A shame, because most conservatives and liberals probably desire the same ends — peace and prosperity, the basic necessities of life for ourselves, the prospect of better lives for our children — and differ only in their perception of the best means of achieving those ends. What does the historical perspective of conservatism and liberalism have to do with today’s ultramaterialistic, “greed-is-good,” Trumpian neoconservatism, or

for that matter with austere, “market economy,” Clintonian neoliberalism? Not so much in my opinion. To lie and cheat whenever it suits one’s selfish purposes, to commit adultery, to sexually assault women and brag about it, unrepentantly and unapologetically are not lessons I was taught in my conservative Republican home or Sunday school. Draconian enforcement of laws which benefit one’s self and flagrant disregard of laws which do not is not the rule of law that I was taught in civics class, but rather a perversion of the law. In violation of international and U.S. law, to impede refugees fleeing persecution from seeking asylum, to deceive the parents regarding their rights, to rip away their children, and to detain them separately in concentration camps is a flagrant assault on the “sacred space” of family, community, and nations. Yes, it is a good thing that the two principal belligerents blinked and that we walked away from the brink of nuclear conflagration with North Korea. But what about Afghanistan, Syria, Palestine, Yemen, and Iran? Yes, it is a good thing that unemployment is down. How much better it would be if all those employed were earning living wages and that the present uptick in the economy did not come at the expense of a greatly increased national debt with which we’ll saddle our children or the severe environmental degradation that threatens their very survival. One can only hope that come November, enough conservatives and liberals will have realized that the Emperor wears no clothes, will vote his lackeys out of office, and will then hold the newly elected persons’ feet to the fire to govern properly.

The just shall live by faith By Aaron Swartzentruber Greenleafton, MN “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among Aaron Swartzyou?” (Galaentruber tians 3:1) The Apostle is writing to a people that believe in Christ, that Christ paid for their sins but now they’re trying to perfect their salvation by their own works. In other words they were trying to have a better “hope of salvation” or “possibility of salvation.” Christ alone wasn’t enough for them anymore. In Verse 2 he asks, “Did you receive the Spirit by the law or by faith?” They already know the answer and he knows it. They received the Spirit by faith. Now Verse 3, “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” If you are trying to get to heaven by Christ plus your works you are foolish. Now that’s not just that fanatical nutcase Aaron Swartzentruber telling you that! It’s God’s Word telling you that. Verse 6: “Even as Abraham ‘believed’ God, an it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Verse 9: “So then they which be of ‘faith’ are blessed with ‘faithful’ Abraham.” But wait a minute, James 2:2122 says “Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon

the altar? Seeth thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?” That looks like a contradiction at first. But James’ whole point is that faith without works is dead, it’s not the real thing. Faith alone saves but the faith that saves is never alone. Saving faith produces works; works don’t produce saving faith. Faith alone justifies us before God but the works justify us before man. It may be that you’re justified before man because of your works but you’re not justified before God because you’re not trusting in Christ alone for your salvation. Here’s what Jesus said to that crowd, “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father (will of the father, see John 6:40) which is in heaven. Many will say, “Have we not prophesied in thy name and done many wonderful ‘works.’” And then will I profess unto them, I never new you.” (Matthew 7: 21-23) Why? Because they do not have faith in Christ’s blood atonement alone. That’s like Cain and Abel. Abel brought a blood offering and Cain brought an offering of the work of his own hands. The New Testament confirms that Abel was righteous because of his offering. That’s Hebrews 11:4. Killing animals at that time was a very uncommon thing. When Adam and Eve sinned, God had to kill animals for skins to cover them up. That’s how Abel knew that God requires the shedding of blood for the remission of sin. His offering didn’t justify his sin, his “faith” in his offering made him righteous. His offering pointed to the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Back to Galatians 3, Verse 10, “For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, cursed is everyone that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” The law is a curse to us because we haven’t kept it. Or maybe you have, I know I haven’t. Verse 11, “The just shall live by faith.” Verse 13, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law.” Verse 14, “That we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” I love the book of Galatians! It’s so liberating! I feel like shouting a blessed hymn that’s stuck in my mind: Blessed be the name! Blessed be the name! Blessed be the name of the Lord! Let all the redeemed sing it. Until next time...

C ommentary Devil’s Advocate…The 6th Mass Extinction By Aaron Bishop Harmony, MN If you want evidence of the very first mass extinction event on Earth, begin by looking below your feet here in Fillmore C o u n t y. Most of us live near Aaron Bishop limestone from the Late Ordovician Period. The diversity of ancient life (fossils) you may find significantly diminishes as one moves into younger rock formations. This is because 85% of species that were alive during the Ordovician Period went extinct in a short period of time, literally causing the end of an entire geologic period. A University of California study from 2015 illustrates that life on Earth existed 4.1 billion years ago, pushing back the previously recognized age of 3.8 billion years. Since then, there have been five mass extinction events, where life on Earth was almost extinguished in a relatively brief time. Extinctions are ongoing throughout the fossil record, so what’s the difference between a mass extinction and background extinction? According to dictionary.com, a mass extinction event is: “The extinction of a large number of species within a relatively short period of geological time, thought to be due to factors such as a catastrophic global event or widespread environmental change that occurs too rapidly for most species to adapt. At least five mass extinctions have been identified in the fossil record, coming at or toward the end of the Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous Periods. The Permian extinction, which

took place 245 million years ago, is the largest known mass extinction in Earth’s history, resulting in the extinction of an estimated 90% of marine species. In the Cretaceous extinction, 65 million years ago, an estimated 75% of species, including the dinosaurs, became extinct, possibly as the result of an asteroid colliding with the Earth.” This is different than background extinction levels which are defined by the same website as: “The ongoing extinction of individual species due to environmental or ecological factors such as climate change, disease, loss of habitat, or competitive disadvantage in relation to other species. Background extinction occurs at a fairly steady rate over geological time and is the result of normal evolutionary processes, with only a limited number of species in an ecosystem being affected at any one time.” We are living in the 6th mass extinction event. Whether we’re in its midst or just its dawn is a question for paleontologists and current extinction researchers. A Stanford University study from 2015 illustrates that even the most conservative estimates place extinction levels today at a rate 100 times higher than what is considered background extinction norms. There has even been a study of the studies on the loss of biodiversity. Published on September 12, 2018, scientists amassed almost 13,000 scientific articles from the last 15 years and proclaimed no additional scientific data is required to recognize the fact of such biodiversity loss, and that the only way to expect any change is for political action. Within the summary of the article: “Their initial conclusion is indisputable: the remaining

threats to biodiversity today were already identified nearly 40 years ago, when they were quoted the ‘evil quartet.’ They are (i) habitat destruction (ii) overexploitation of resources, i.e., overhunting or overfishing for example; (iii) introduction of invasive species; and (iv) co-extinctions that may be triggered by these factors. To these four well established threats we may add the concern of climate change, which further destabilizes natural environments.” The article concludes: “The major obstacle is the demand for concessions even more favorable to resource exploitation rather than to nature protection, despite timid scientific recommendations.” Because humans are more dependent on biodiversity than many perhaps realize, Gerardo Caballos, a lead author from the Stanford University study states: “If [biodiversity loss] is allowed to continue, life would take many millions of years to recover, and our species itself would likely disappear early on.” There isn’t a debate in the scientific community that the current loss of biodiversity is extremely dangerous to the survival of our own species. Recognizing this as a priority is crucial but tough, because who wants to hear it? And few understand the urgency and ramifications. For lighter reading, I recommend journalist Elizabeth Kolbert’s book The 6th Extinction. Cheers. And, please vote.

The status of mainstream journalism By Stan Gudmundson Peterson, MN Dear mainstream media (MSM) journalists and writers supposedly concerned about freedom of the press. Many of us are sick and tired of you and people like you. As a virtual Col. Stan arm of the Gudmundson left, you have no credibility. That is part of the reason that, no matter what the Trump-haters daily accuse him of or throw at him, we don’t pay attention to you anymore. You say Trump is trying to suppress freedom of the press. That is absolute nonsense. Meanwhile, you say virtually nothing about how great the economy is doing; expanding at a rate not ever accomplished under Obama. While Nobel Laureates earlier told us that such performance wasn’t possible. Good things are happening. You are ignoring or reluctantly covering them. He’s fighting back against your phony stories, lies, fake news, and never-ending criticism. You ignore far more serious criminality right under your noses to focus on a fairytale supposedly involving the Russians. Which would be, even if true, absolutely trivial compared to what else went on. I am glad he is at your throats. Meanwhile the same people say nothing about social media shutting down conservatives. But it’s Silicon Valley so it’s okay. Nothing to see here. We are also completely fed up with your acceptance of double standards in law enforcement. It doesn’t seem to concern you that there was a brazen attempt by unelected government officials to overturn an election. That is treason. One way or another, many on the left are still trying to accomplish that. You are still trying to help them. It doesn’t concern you that a special prosecutor’s office is madeup of blatantly anti-Trump attorneys and investigators. But they have found a criminal and now they need to find a crime. As I said, right under your very noses is evidence of truly serious criminality. Lois Lerner and her efforts to stifle conservative organizations were just the very beginning. She belongs in prison. Hillary. Highly classified material on an unsecured server and other devices. This really sticks in my craw and irritates me to no end. Why? Because I once had clearances like hers and know what they mean. I know how dangerous it is to handle very highly classified materials inap-

propriately. Plus, I could have been in prison for literally the rest of my life had I treated classified information the way she treated it. Scandalous? Doesn’t come near to describing what she did. And outrage doesn’t come close to describing how most of us, who hold or held these kinds of clearances, think about what she did. And your slimy excuses to exonerate her. If you only knew. The list of criminal malfeasance by Hillary and the left is almost endless. We don’t need to review that, but people do need to understand that the left is doing everything they can to regain and keep their power. This includes open-border immigration policies that would completely change the make-up of the U.S. electorate. And completely change our country. Into something we can’t even imagine though California provides a hint. The mainstream-press is composed of crybabies, whining because they can’t take the welldeserved heat. They might have a case to make if we could watch the news or read news articles and not be able detect any political bias. We can’t though can we? If the mainstream press can convince us that they are neutral and have no political axe to grind, maybe we will pay attention to them again. Maybe we won’t view them with the contempt that many of us currently have for them. Freedom of the press however, is sacrosanct. No matter how miserably biased the MSM is. The fact is, you don’t like us, and we don’t like you right back. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo recently said, “We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great.” Isn’t it interesting to see what Democrats really believe about America? Final point. Since Trump is simply a reflection and manifestation of his supporters, would there be a change in the electorate If Trump is forced from office? If that happens, the left will not like what follows. Drain the swamp! MAGA!

Preston adopts 2019 preliminary levy By Karen Reisner At the September 17 Preston City Council meeting, the 2019 preliminary levy was adopted. During an August meeting, City Administrator Joe Hoffman had presented a draft of the 2019 budget and levy. At that meeting the draft budget provided for a 2.41% levy increase over the 2018 levy. There was some discussion then about providing an additional cushion to reserve some funds for future projects. Hoffman reminded the council that preliminary levy numbers are used to calculate property tax estimates. Mayor Kurt Reicks noted that the final levy figure can be lower but not higher. In his opinion reserving some funds for unknowns that may come up due to the veterans home or new housing projects is reasonable. Council members agreed. Councilman David Collett sug-

gested setting a levy increase at 5%. The preliminary 2019 levy was set at $942,045, which is a $44,859 increase over the 2018 levy. This 5% increase was approved unanimously. The additional dollars ($23,248) will be placed either in street improvements or a contingency fund. John DeGeorge Captain DeGeorge is running for Fillmore County Sheriff, a four-year term beginning in January 2019. He lives with his wife and two children on his wife’s family farm near Bratsberg. He has lived in Fillmore County his whole life. DeGeorge began in law enforcement when he was 19 with the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office. Since then, he has worked his way up from deputy sheriff, to undercover narcotics, to patrol sergeant, and to his present position, Captain/lead investigator. His leadership style requires

establishing good open connections to people/communities. DeGeorge is talking to city councils, fire departments, ambulance personnel, and other civic groups in that effort. DeGeorge wants to work on the front end/prevention. He would like to introduce a Fillmore County Criminal Prevention Program. There would be no cost to the county, as investigators do some things to this end already, but the program would add structure. 2019 street projects Jim Bakken, Public Works, discussed possible mill and overlay maintenance projects that could be done in 2019. The three major areas included Chatfield Ave., Washington St., and Park Lane. Councilwoman Holly Zuck asked if these projects could wait another year. Bakken said they could, but if they are put off too long they no longer will be good candidates for a mill and overlay. Hoffman noted there are no assessments for a mill and overlay. Councilman Charles Sparks did not believe they should fall behind on maintenance. Zuck explained that a Housing Committee is looking at areas where housing could be expanded and would require the least amount of additional infrastructure. Additional affordable housing will be needed for workers at the veterans home. It was decided to table a decision on 2019 street work until late in the fall or into the winter, after the Housing Committee makes a recommendation. Other business in brief • Gary Hellickson and Charles Aug, C & G Properties, are considering buying a property at 312 Spring St. NE. Hellickson explained that they are requesting a variance to convert a very nice garage on the southwest corner of the property to a dwelling. Planning and Zoning held a public hearing on the request for a four-foot setback (code is 15 feet) and a 2.5 foot rear setback (20 feet required by code). P & Z recommended approval of the variances. The property is zoned R-3.

Page 7

After determining that violations exist, the council issued a “destruction order” for each of the three properties. If after seven days the issue is not addressed, the city may hire someone to bring the property into compliance. The cost will be the property owner’s responsibility. • Approval was given to share the cost 50/50 with the Servicemen’s Club for the purchase of 184 new flags for 2019. The city’s share is $1,060. • Approval was given to share the cost of a contract with the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association to provide safety coordination for the city and the utility. Safety Coordinator Mark Hottel is shared with 11 other communities. He is in Preston two days per month. The city’s share of the cost is estimated to be $7,245 for 2019. The total cost is shared with the utility, 45% city and 55% utility.

Hellickson said they are planning on building another dwelling on a concrete pad already on the property. The intention is to offer both dwellings eventually for vacation rentals, for example for weekend bicyclists. The variance requests were approved. • A proposal to clean out and slope the south ditch to drain water from west to east on Cottage Grove Ave. was approved. The cost estimate offered by Scheevel & Sons is $1,585. Bakken said this is the cheapest solution to allow water to drain to the east and to eliminate ponding. • There have been complaints from residents on three properties for violating Ordinance 245, noxious weeds and rank vegetation. Citizen complaints start the process. City staff, Hoffman, and Police Chief Matt Schultz have inspected the properties. A written report was submitted to the council.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. John was then self-employed as the owner of The Craft Shop in Spillville, selling homemade wood items, antiques, and Czech imports. On October 29, 1977, he was united in marriage to Mary Housker at Mabel First Lutheran Church in Mabel, followed by a memorable celebration and dance at the Inwood Ballroom in Spillville. For several years, John and Mary lived north of Decorah on a small, well-landscaped acreage. In most recent years, they moved to Decorah and opened Java John’s Coffee House where he established his reputation as “Java John.” He had many interests and hobbies including model railroading, woodcarving, flying model airplanes, riding motorcycles, cars, playing cards, gardening, taking nature photos, and making cement flower pots. His hobbies were his way of connecting with people. He loved to share his model railroad with kids (nieces, nephews, Cub Scouts); he enjoyed countless hours with his flying buddies; he shared his art of cement projects by donating all proceeds to hospice; he carved, then distributed Christmas ornaments to family and friends for over 15 years; but most of all, he adorned the home he shared with Mary with his many beautiful works of art.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

Chatfield High School remodel nears completion - open house set By Mary L. Allen The Chatfield School Board had their first meeting in the new Forum Room, which is an elevated tiered room for lectures and larger group gatherings. Each board member had their own microphone so that the entire room could hear the meeting. All members were present except for Amy Jeffers. Also in attendance were Superintendent Ed Harris, Administrative Assistant Lorri Lowrey, and Business Manager Karol Lyons. Student representatives Katie Ihrke and Mollie Henry came later in the meeting. There were no board reports. New elementary principal, Shane McBroom noted in his report that he thought the implementation by the staff of the Gopher Time curriculum was a great experience and praised the staff for the smooth opening of school. The elementary has had

their first fire drill and are starting ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) classroom procedures. NWEA testing has started and will be used to help and support instruction through the school year. During PLC (Professional Learning Community) time this year, teachers will continue to work on their Love and Logic curriculum that was facilitated in their workshops by Andy Johnsrud before school started and these groups will continue to work with him. Randy Paulson, high school principal, first gave a huge thank you to all staff members (teachers, paras, janitorial, kitchen, technology and administrative assistants) in the high school for their extra effort in having a successful start to the new school year and their patience and understanding during the demolition and construction process. Getting the school ready for the first day far exceeded his expectations because of the work of the staff. The construction manager, Ryan Schwab, shared with Paulson how nice the staff was to work with. They were the best and most flexible staff he has ever worked with. This is truly a compliment to them. The new cafeteria is working out well. Juniors and seniors are enjoying their own space since

it is a quieter and calmer setting. Since seventh and eighth grade eat at separate times, there is more space in the gym or the outside area for them to play, which has created a safer environment. Homecoming Week begins next week with planned evening activities and dress up days during the school day. Last year Gopher Fest was introduced to involve the younger students. It will be held again this year on Friday, September 28 from 3:30-6 p.m. after the pep fest. The Homecoming dance takes place on Saturday evening. Superintendent Harris also commented on the effort of all involved to make the start of school so successful. There are still some finishing touches to be made and the fitness and wrestling rooms should be ready by the end of October. An open house will be scheduled for November 8 from 5-7 p.m. in conjunction with the Veterans Day Concert so that the public may tour the new and remodeled facilities. Harris would like to set a date for the school board Activity Committee meeting to discuss fundraisers, a parent code of conduct, and facility use prioritization. Coaches and other interested parties would be invited to attend as well. On October 9, HVED (Hiawatha Valley Education District) will

Under the consent items, the board approved the last board meeting minutes, the Elementary Parent/Student Handbook and the Elementary Professional Handbook. Also approved were the Extra-Curricular Activities Handbook, High School Student Handbook, High School Professional Handbook and the High School Discipline Matrix. School fundraisers for 2018-2019 were approved along with the hiring of Blake Carrier, junior high football coach and the posting for the ninth grade girls basketball coach. Under new business, the only bid for snow removal was awarded to Hammell Equipment. The

preliminary certification of the projected levy payable in 2019 was approved for the Truth and Taxation meeting in December. Also approved was the Purchase of Service Agreement for the Transportation of Children and Youth in Foster Care Placement and the MSHSL Foundation Grant for Student Participation. Superintendent Harris updated the board on the acquisition of the Highway 52 easement by MnDOT. They needed to acquire the easement to install handicap ramps to access the path for their Highway 52 improvement project. MnDOT is paying the appraised value for the easement plus compensation for the loss of one tree that had to come down for the project. The board approved this proposal. The meeting was adjourned and the next meeting will be October 15.

business owner for 21 years. I currently serve on the Audit Committee and Endowment Committee at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Spring Valley. I am a homeowner and a Fillmore County taxpayer and know the value of a dollar and the importance of fiscal responsibility. How can you help the Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer’s Office improve if you are elected to this position? My 11 years in the Fillmore County Assessor’s Office has provided a good deal of insight into the needs of the office through inter-departmental processes that take place between taxes and real estate transactions. This insight, when implemented, will allow for a cost effective and efficiently run government office. Please describe your leadership style. I was a successful Track and Cross Country coach for 25 years, as well as Minnesota State High School League Track and Field Official for the past 27 years. Much of my coaching style and skill sets from being a coach and official will help in instilling and creating a well-oiled team, not only in the A/T office, but this team approach should translate well across other inter-related departments and government agencies within the county and outside of Fillmore County.

says “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?” What experience do you bring to this position? I have nearly 35 years experience working with the public, a variety of lenders, government units and agencies while handling insurance and banking duties, human resources, appraisals/assessments and related duties. I have experience in management, sales and marketing, customer service, claims handling and adjusting, employee benefits, real estate appraisals, loan underwriting and inspections, and farm and residential construction. I am an analytical decision maker and creative problem solver with the ability to work independently and as a team member. I currently serve as the Region Representative to the State Ag Committee for the Minnesota Assessors (MAAO). The Auditor/Treasurer position combines the skill sets of a CPA and personnel management, managing Fillmore County’s checkbook budgeted for $31 million in 2018. Over the course of your career, how have you prepared yourself for this responsibility? I have served nine years as a school board member in Wykoff and Kingsland. Besides the experience listed above, I was a self-employed

tions, and much more. I have completed the Auditor/Treasurer courses at the MN department of Revenue and am certified for Property Tax Calculations, Board of Appeals and others. My previous banking industry, budgeting and auditing experience is essential since we are the central finance office for the county. As a legal assistant, I became acclimated with State Statute, a vital trait, as a majority of our duties are mandated by legislation. My education and vast experience have directly molded me to succeed as your Auditor/Treasurer. The Auditor/Treasurer position combines the skill sets of a CPA and personnel management, managing Fillmore County’s checkbook budget for $31 million in 2018. Over the course of your career, how have you prepared yourself for this responsibility? I’ve assumed many responsibilities within our office at one point or another and am prepared for the challenges in assuming more. Currently, I calculate rates and taxes for proposed and certified. It’s also my responsibility to disburse the monies received to each district and fund within the county, a yearly average of $30 million. I prepare supportive documentation for governmental entities and auditors. I’ve put in valuable time in research, training to ensure accuracy and compliance with mandated legislation. As a leader, I combine the desire for personal growth for each employee with the passion to succeed as team. How can you help the Fillmore County

Auditor/Treasurer’s Office improve if you are elected to this position? Several issues will come into focus. We are converting to a new property tax system in the near future. In depth knowledge of the system, jobs we need to accomplish, and staying abreast of any foreseeable issues is important for a successful transition. With the additions to the 2020 elections, resources and training will pursue to ensure we have dedicated staff for both elections and daily operations. Being properly trained to confidently fill each role and not “burning the candle at both ends” are equally important to prevent errors as well as deter valued employees from considering employment elsewhere. Please describe your leadership style. To manage employees, one must understand the duties they’re tasked with. After providing the resources, employees should be updated, valued, and entrusted to complete tasks effectively and confidently. When we succeed as individuals, we surpass succeeding as a team. Prevention and taking responsibility to correct errors when they arise is imperative and I will do my due diligence to resolve them. A leader continues to grow by mutual respect, acknowledging ideas, weaknesses, strengths, and continuous planning for the future. I am that passionate leader. I am certified, trustworthy and principled. I look forward to serving as your next Auditor/Treasurer.

Kingsland sets levy PR Plan

Rachel Hanson and Jenna Schmidt highlight Kingsland FFA happenings. Photo by Rich Wicks

By Rich Wicks The Kingsland School Board agreed upon an Operating Levy PR Plan during their regular board meeting on September 17. Board members present included Doug Plaehn, Ann Oeltjen, Heather Betts, Leah Stier, Tiffany Mundfrom, and Superintendent James Hecimovich. Jackie Horsman was absent. Superintendent Hecimovich summarized that as part of the PR plan, Kingsland will share statistics, publish information via newspapers and flyers, participate in Facebook live discussions, Blackboard Connect, and hold community “question and answer” forums. He added, “And then tying our levy to something tangible like developing our trades program here at the high school. We’ve done a great job of addressing kids going to college, but 60% of kids graduating from schools in Minnesota will either go into the trades, through a certification program of two years or less, or straight into work.” The board discussed the Memoradum of Understanding (MOU) for HOSA (formerly Health Occupations Student of America, but now known as Future Health Professionals). The board voted to move for-

ward with the MOU. Hecimovich informed the board about the proposed Cooperative Athletic Agreement for GMLOKS. He stated, “All member schools feel that this is a good agreement at this point.” The board voted to approve it as proposed. Business Manager Amber Herbrand addressed the board, encouraging them to certify the maximum levy authority as presented. The board unanimously voted to do this. As part of the consent agenda items, the board approved a number of hirings (substitute van driver Phillip Bussman, JH volleyball assistant Megan Hendrickson, substitute paraprofessional Brenda McRoberts, theater director/drama club advisor Sarah Kohn, crossing guard Kayla Duxbury, and head dance team coach Becky Bicknese), resignation of van ride-along Mari Blanchard, and “lane changes” for Alyssa Humpal, Kayli Hareldson, Angela Forland, Baily Mahowald, and Amanda Lorentz.

New initiative for conservation planning Hello, my name is Dan Wermager, with the Root River Soil and Water Conservation District in Caledonia, Minn. I want to get the word out that there is a new initiative for the entire Root River Watershed, with two priority areas being Torkelson Creek Watershed (in Fillmore County) and Money Creek Watershed (in Houston and Winona Counties). It is a mutual effort between local, state, and federal government. The purpose of this initiative is to get more conservation planning done with landowners and producers. A conservation plan is a guide that helps you to manage your land in the best way possible. It gives you ideas The Root River SWCD announces a new initiative for the Root about best management practices River Watershed. (BMPs) that you may want to Photo submitted implement in the future. These are practices designed to treat Preston Class of 1948 reunites a variety of resource concerns, including soil erosion, soil health, and water quality degradation. I would be happy to come out to your land to meet with you and do a walkover, and then work to create a conservation plan together. If you then choose to move forward with some of these BMPs, I will be there to help with that as well, and can help you get signed up for the cost share program that best fits your needs and goals. I will be reaching out to landowners The Preston Class of 1948 held their 70th class reunion in our priority areas soon, but Wednesday, September 12, 2018, at Twigs Tavern & Grille if anyone is interested in more in Rochester.

"when the Visit Bluff Country Magazine

Started publishing their magazine and distributing it, there was no comparison." Electronic edition available at www.visitbluffcountry.com

“When we opened up the Historic Scanlan House Bed and Breakfast Inn 33 years ago in Lanesboro, there was hardly any literature available on the area for the tourists. There were several different publications that tried to capture this audience through articles and advertisers. However, when the Visit Bluff Country Magazine started publishing their magazine and distributing it, there was no comparison. I have been an advertiser in this guide ever since! Have never missed a year! I have watched this publication go from a newspaper format to the beautiful glossy full color format that it is today. I think it’s the best publication offered in our area! At the Historic Scanlan House Bed & Breakfast Inn it is displayed in each one of our guest rooms and of course, in our lobby. It is our go-to guide for all of the things available for our guests in the entire Bluff Country area. It’s a treasure chest of information for them, containing maps to get from town to town and trail maps for biking and hiking. Showing them where to eat, where to drink and where to play! What else does one need? Keep up the great work Visit Bluff Country Magazine!” Kirsten Mensing, Owner at Historic Scanlan House, Lanesboro, Minnesota To advertise in the 2018-2019 Visit Bluff Country Magazine, call 507.765.2151 or email ads@visitbluffcountry.com

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: I heard one of my neighbors got pulled over by a State Trooper for driving his combine down the road. The Trooper told him he needed a pilot car. Is this true? Troy H. A n s w e r : Christianson Farm equipment may be driven or towed to the left of the center of a roadway only if it is escorted at the front by a vehicle displaying hazard warning lights visible in normal sunlight. The equipment also must not extend into the left half of the roadway more than is necessary. Some of those combine headers are quite big. So if someone is not being escorted, they would be required to remove the header and tow it on the highway. Motorists traveling on Minnesota highways this fall need to be aware of large farm equipment transporting crops to markets, grain elevators and processing plants. Farm equipment is large and heavy, making it hard for operators to accelerate, slow down and stop. The machines also make wide turns and sometimes cross over the center line. In addition, farm vehicles can create large blind spots, making it difficult for operators to see approaching vehicles. All of these factors can cause serious crashes. During 2015-17, 386 traffic

Monday, September 24, 2018

crashes took place on Minnesota roads involving at least one farm vehicle, resulting in six fatalities and 166 injuries. Of the six fatalities, three were farm vehicle riders; of the 166 injuries, 57 were farm vehicle riders. The biggest factors contributing to farm equipment/vehicle crashes are inattention, and speed. Motorists should always slow down and use caution when approaching farm equipment. Motorists should: • Watch for debris dropped by trucks hauling crops. It is safer to brake or drive through debris than to veer into oncoming cars or off the road. • Wait for a safe place to pass. • Wear seat belts. • Drive with headlights on at all times. Farm equipment operators should: • Use lights and flashers to make equipment more visible. • Use slow-moving vehicle emblems on equipment traveling less than 30 mph. • Consider using a follow vehicle when moving equipment, especially at night. You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, Minn. 55901-5848. Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@state. mn.us,

Representatives of MnDOT will be available to answer questions and provide information from 4:30-6 p.m. at the Grand Meadow Community Center, 116 Grand Ave. E. in Grand Meadow.

closures of intersections during the paving operation. Crews will also replace three box culverts and five pipe culverts along Highway 16. During the culvert work, Highway 16 will be closed to through traffic and detoured to Fillmore County Road 8 to Mower County Road 2 to Mower County Road 7 into Dexter. Highway 63 will remain open to local businesses. During the September 25 open house, people may drop by at any time during the session to talk with the project manager and other MnDOT staff, learn more about the project and ask questions.
