Unique shop open in Wykoff

Peterson council addresses County 25 concerns

Whether you consider yourself a horse lover, a cowboy, or an equestrian, there is a newly opened business in Wykoff, Minn. that has people stopping in to find decorative and useful products. And if you are not the cowboy type, there are still many unique items to choose from.

The Painted Pony opened in March of 2014 at 106 Gold Street in Wykoff with a wide variety of useful and decorative items which are taken in on consignment.

Owner Sherrie Schmidt likes horses and knows a lot of people who like horses, so when she wanted to open a business, a western themed store was what she naturally was drawn to.

Schmidt says she has “always lived on a farm”, so after moving into town, being at The Painted Pony gives her the feel of the farm while living in town. The name of her business came together after trying to think of a name herself and asking friends and family for suggestions. A woman she works with suggested the name The Painted Pony and Schmidt decided that would be the name she would use.

Different types of clothing can be found in the store including shirts, vests, and jackets at reasonable prices with sizes ranging from child to adult. Much of the apparel is versatile and not necessarily western but could be pieced with western outfits.

There are home decor pieces such as homemade signs which include sayings such as “cowgirl tough” and other craft items. Gift items for the horse

With another packed house, Wednesday, September 24, the Peterson council attempted to iron out project details, cost, and funding concerns regarding the 2015 County State Aid Highway 25 reconstruction. Discussion has been contentious at times, as the roughly 200-person community tries to weigh the impact of the county-mandated project. The scope of the project has been flexible and reduced in some measures, but the city council has opted to keep many of the project options in the discussion to get a better balance on what’s needed and what’s simply advantageous because of the timing.

Currently, the project’s plans include a total reconstruction of County 25 Mill Street, from River Street to Church Street, and along the south portion of Church Street. Reconstruction includes roadway, curb, gutter, catch basin, and sidewalks.

Church Street will remain a “rural section,” utilizing ditches for drainage, instead of curb, gutter, and catch basin. A cooperative agreement is in place with the county for a 50 percent cost share of the curb, gutter, and sidewalks. Additionally, the 106-year old water main under the roadway is scheduled for See PETERSON Page 25 

Two bus stops in town will be added to the Lanesboro School bus routes starting in October.

The Lanesboro School busing policy states the school buses will only pick up students that live at least one mile from the school. At the August school board meeting, Lori Anderson asked about adding two extra stops in town so students who live on the edges of town won’t have as far to walk.

The students living in those areas could walk to the stops instead of all the way to school.

Chairman Dave Ruen believed there would be many kids that would benefit from two bus stops in town. There are a few things

that need to be considered, such as whether or not there is room on the bus. The drop-off and pick-up will not be less than half a mile from school, and the stops can only be on current routes.

The stops will be posted on the school web site.

Superintendent Jeff Boggs said they would like to avoid picking up students too early in the morning. Also, if there is no room on the bus, other arrangements will have to be made.

After the new routes are started, they will have a better idea of what is needed.

County Sets Preliminary 2015 Levy

By Karen Reisner The Fillmore County board, at their September 23 meeting, set the preliminary budget/levy. The levy numbers can be reduced, but not increased, when the final levy is set in December. The increase in the levy for 2015 now is 4.9 percent.

The budget for 2015 is $25,835,574. The portion that is levied is $8,869,552. The increase from 2014 in the levy is $434,347. County Program Aid from the state has been cut $140,000 for 2015. Chairman Duane Bakke noted that this is the first time for several years that the levy hasn’t been reduced by using reserves. Last year the county used $192,939 in reserves. Bakke said that we need to keep the reserves from going any lower. No reserves will be used to reduce the levy for 2015. The fact that no reserves will be used and the loss of a significant amount of Program Aid made it a challenge to keep the levy increase down to where it is. Levy dollars for 2015 represent $425.07 per capita.

County coordinator Bobbie Vickerman said that the department heads were very helpful and good to work with on the budget.

Greenleafton Wastewater Project The county board approved a number of items to move the

Greenleafton Wastewater Project forward. Stantec engineer Brett Grabau reviewed items that are needed to have the grant money certified. Two bids for the Operation and Maintenance contract were considered. The board approved the low bid from Gopher Septic.

Bakke noted that these were estimates, rather than a ‘not to exceed bid’.

Two bids had also been submitted for the construction contract. The low bid submitted by Generation X Construction, Inc. in the amount of $999,540.50 was approved.

Grabau said this was close to the engineer’s estimate. The award of the contract was made contingent on getting funding from Minnesota’s Public Facility’s Authority (PFA).

Approval was given for a form detailing the expected annual operation and maintenance costs. Adjustments will be made annually as needed. It was noted that all of the homeowners in Greenleafton have agreed to use the system from the beginning.

The loan amortization schedule was approved. The county will pay one percent interest on the loan. A resolution for estimated service and system establishment charges and a schedule for collecting was approved. About six weeks ago an interest rate for homeowners was approved at three percent,

unless their portion is paid up front. The loan to the county is for 20 years. Homeowners in Greenleafton, unless paid up front, will have payments included in their tax statements to pay for the wastewater system.

Zoning administer Chris Graves noted the zoning office does require an application for a permit. The $1,800 application fee will be paid by the county as the land owner. A 20 year operating permit was also approved which is necessary for systems of 2,500 gallons or more.

Southeast Minnesota Chemical Dependency Pilot Project cooperative agreement was approved.

However, Social Services Manager Neva Beier and Community Services Director Beth Wilms explained that after the extension period they will stop doing the pilot program. Region 10 will no longer participate, just Olmsted and Winona Counties. Wilms said participation in the smaller counties has been minuscule, so the smaller counties are withdrawing because of the cost. Beier said people in Fillmore County will be able to use managed care options to get treatment.

•Sheriff Daryl Jensen reported that Fillmore County will be hosting CornerHouse Forensic interview training. Jensen said they will have an opportunity to train six people of their own. County Attorney Brett Corson agreed it was an opportunity and commended

the Sheriff’s Office and Social Services for getting the three and one-half day training in Fillmore County. He said it will save money in the long run since they will be able to use their own officers and social workers as experts, instead of hiring outside experts. Jensen said having it here will save three to four thousand dollars.

The cost will be passed on to others coming into the county for the training.

•An application for Wellness Incentive Funding from Southeast Service Cooperative to support local wellness and health activities in an amount of at least $19,900 was approved.

Bakke commented that he preferred they keep the money and use it to lower premiums.

However, if the county doesn’t accept the funds, it will just go to other cities and counties.

LANESBORO

Continued from Page 1

Clarke presented the board with the annual report on curriculum and instruction, a state mandated report. He spoke of the MCA testing requirements in math and reading, and how Lanesboro relates to the state averages. Clarke said they want to be sure there is growth in the test scores and abilities, but also be sure the kids who are proficient are still growing. At the elementary school, scores are strong in reading and math, at or above average in most cases.

Extracurricular activities help with things like test scores, and Clarke noted that most students are in one or many of them.

There is great participation in those activities.

Board member Dave Lawstuen asked if there will be any changes as far as graduation requirements. Clarke said the trend is more. Boggs noted that requiring

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

more credits from the core classes will affect the electives and other things they would like to see the students do.

Personnel Co-curricular contracts were approved. Katrina Schuneman was approved for band, Traci Pederson as a Sp. Ed. aide, Sharon Boyum for choir, Melanie Haugen for ½ cheerleader coach, Julie Jensson for ½ cheerleader coach, John Smith for senior advisor, Kristi Ruen for FFA advisor, Holly Clarke for junior advisor, Jared Pierce for second Assistant football coach, Rochelle Gathje for FCCLA, Heidi Knepper for junior concessions, and Kristen Overland for class play director.

Elementary Art Stena Lieb approached the board about the art program at the elementary school. The teachers at the elementary school are to incorporate a half-hour of art every week, but Lieb has not seen it on the schedules of her chil-

dren. She is concerned the state art standards are not being met.

Lieb explained the state standards for elementary are divided into grade sections, and the needs must be met for that grade section. Grade levels can collaborate with each other to meet those needs. The standards include things like critiquing each other’s art work.

“It’s not just doing a craft project,” said Lieb. “It’s more involved.

It involves critical thinking.” She added that art can be incorporated into any subject.

Other business The board certified the maximum proposed levy. The amount can be decreased before December, when a final decision will be made.

The board passed a resolution for the general election in November.

The October meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 14 at 8 p.m.

C ommentary R-P Schools are right in the ballpark

By Andy Prinsen There has been concern voiced lately, and rightly so, over the size and cost of the proposed new Pr e K - 1 2 t h grade Rushford-Peterson school to be voted on this coming November. I believe that any investment of this Andy Prinsen size in our community should be in the “ballpark” in both size and cost with comparable projects that have occurred locally.

I think the new school facility

just completed in Wells, Minn., for the United South Central School District (USC) would be an excellent example to compare. The United South Central School district has a PreK-12th grade population of 625, they built a school that is 161,000 square ft., and it cost 28.8 million dollars. Using Rushford-Peterson’s PreK-12th grade population of 724, a building with the same square footage per pupil as USC would put us at 186,502 sq. feet. Now, as we know, the new proposed PreK12th grade Rushford-Peterson School building is designed to be 166,000 square feet. This basic comparison shows us that the new proposed PreK-12th grade

Rushford-Peterson building is certainly not “too big” and is actually smaller in square footage per pupil than the comparable USC school facility built in this region of this state.

It would be unwise to use square footage averages from other states, especially ones located in a slightly different climate, due to their differing designs. Many school districts in America located in more moderate climates do not have gymnasiums (or hallways) for their elementary or middle schools because they can be outside on playground courts all year round, so their square footage averages would be much smaller.

In comparing the cost, the USC

facility in Wells cost 28.8 million to accommodate 625 PreK12th grade students. Using this information, our 724 PreK-12th grade students’ facility should cost approximately 33.3 million dollars in 2011 (USC quote for facility in 2011, passed referendum in 2012, broke ground in 2013, facility opened in 2014), add three years of interest to adjust to today’s cost, which a local contractor told me that five percent inflation per year on supplies and labor was conservative (the USC superintendent of schools said construction costs went up 10-15% immediately after they got their quote), and you come up with an updated cost of 38.61 million dollars. The proposed PreK-12th grade RushfordPeterson School facilities quoted cost is 38.1 million dollars, so it is

Letter to the Editor regarding R-P Schools Chuck Ehlers and the school board have made the comment that the people of Rushford aren’t like their ancestors because we don’t want to put any money towards the school.

The problem, as I see it, is that they have not given us the option to fix the old school. If I remember this correctly, Chuck said that it would cost $8 million to get the school back up to good repair and that was pretty much the end of discussion.

They have had meetings with architects to figure out what they should do and always came up with …. build a new school. My sister-in-law was on one of those committees and she said that the architect wouldn’t even listen to the people. The options were so pathetic that of the nine proposals they were given to remodel the school, they rated them all a 1 out of a possible 10. As for the plan for building of a new school, they rated it a 2. They made it sound like the committee was all in favor of that. The school board wants a new school and it doesn’t matter what the people of this district want. They won’t even give us the

option to remodel. It’s either build or nothing. Meanwhile they keep letting it get worse and worse to a point where there will be no other option.

Shame on them. Didn’t we elect them to listen to the people?

They want $38.2 million to build a new school. I don’t see anything in that amount for what it will cost to get rid of the old schools or take care of the old schools until someone buys it.

The location where they want to build is a safety hazard. It’s right on a corner. Will parking be in the field across the street from the school? They would then have to cross the road on a blind spot. This is much more dangerous than the present school. Someone said that there could be an overpass bridge built. I don’t remember them saying anything about a bridge in the quote. And would the kids use it anyway.

We have a beautiful stone building in Rushford. It is sad that they have let it go like that. We have a good gym and a beautiful stone facade that would cost a lot of money to replicate in a new building. Is there any funding out there regarding repair of historical

buildings?

Comments have been made that they need a new school because there just isn’t enough room. They have made it so dysfunctional, that I can see why the teachers, parents, and kids think that they need more room.

With just a few minor adjustments, it wouldn’t be crowded any more and the security could easily be taken care of. We also wouldn’t have to build more areas to house the kids.

I have talked with people who have been lead to believe that repairing the existing school is not even an option because the building is in such bad shape, which is just not true! I toured the school with several construction workers in our group and they did not see it as un-repairable. This is not being represented to the people in an honest way.

Write a referendum in such a way that the citizens of the district are given a choice of building new at $38 million or update and repair what we already have at $8 million. Give us ALL the options and then let us decide!

Letter about R-P school referendum To the Editor, The Vote Yes R-P Committee knows that there may be people out there who want to support this fall’s school referendum, but are afraid they won’t be able to handle a property tax increase.

If you’re worried about the affordability of the referendum, we urge you to look into the programs outlined below.

Minnesota Property Tax Refund If your adjusted gross income is less than $105,500, homestead and agricultural property owners can qualify for a refund of up to 80% of a property tax increase caused by the proposed referendum. It is intended to reduce tax burdens for homeowners with relatively low incomes and relatively high property tax burdens, and offers a slidingscale refund based on your income and property tax burden, with a maximum refund of $2,580.

Special Property Tax Refund If your property taxes increased by more than 12% and more than $100 from one year to the next, you may qualify for a state refund equal to a portion of the increase. There is no income limit for this refund.

definitely in the “ballpark”.

I think we should also compare our projected cost with two recently passed referendums for construction, which didn’t qualify for the flood relief equalization funds. The Pine Island School District recently passed a 39.75 million dollar referendum that was to add ONLY a PreK-4th grade building and auditorium, and the Kasson-Mantorville School District also recently passed a referendum for an addition and renovations at a cost of 39.8 million dollars. Based upon this information, the cost of the proposed facility here in the Rushford-Peterson School District would seem appropriate and certainly not out of line. We cannot afford to pass up this funding opportunity from the state.

If you itemize deductions for federal income taxes, you may deduct all property taxes paid. Therefore, any increase in property taxes will reduce your income state and federal tax liability.

Senior Citizen Property Tax Deferral If you are 65 or older and have a household income of $60,000 or less, you may be eligible to limit the maximum amount of property tax you pay to 30% of your total household income.

This program also provides predictability because the amount of tax you pay will not change for as long as you participate in it.

To determine your eligibility for these programs, complete Minnesota tax form M1PR, available online at www.taxes.state.mn.us.

C ommentary In search of truth and courage

By Yvonne Nyenhuis I always feel sad when I see the furry bodies of animals that didn’t make it safely across the road. I imagine their fear and pain at the moment of their death.

One day as my husband and I cruised along “CounYvonne ty 8” ,I saw a Nyenhuis dark lump to my right. I was promptly gripped with anguish. It triggered in my mind the habitual response, visual pictures of the tires crushing the life out of a frightened animal.

On closer examination I saw that the object of my concern was a pile of rags!

Once I dreamed that my husband was mean to me. In the morning when I woke, for a full hour I continued to pout and carry a grudge. Understandably, my husband was puzzled. What happened in my dream had no basis in reality!

As a child, my sisters and I hiked through the Pennsylvania countryside. I remember standing in the middle of the railroad tracks. On the horizon the tracks “appeared” to converge.

It has always intrigued me that “perception” is often seductive and divorced from reality. I find it alarming that our politics are driven by “perception” and the “truth” is often compromised in the process. Public opinion is manipulated sometimes with tragic results. Fear is an effective tool. The invasion of Iraq was precipitated with the

warning “The smoking gun may become a mushroom cloud!”

Meaningful to me is the parable of “the wise man who built his house upon a rock. The rains came, the winds blew and beat upon that house and it fell not because it was founded upon a rock.” Further we are cautioned ,“There was a foolish man who built his house upon the sand. The rains came, the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it!”

We are living in dangerous times intensified by a flood of technology that has engulfed us. When we fought the war with Germany and Japan we were fighting countries.

Today we are fighting a twisted ideology that is pervasive throughout the world. It is fueled by hate and fear in the hearts and minds of individuals. Our challenge is to somehow remain whole, and not allow fear to blur our thinking and cause us to act rashly.

My husband Glenn and I have been watching the Ken Burns timely documentary, “The Roosevelts”. In many ways there are parallels in the struggles of the thirties and what is happening today. The courage with which Teddy, Franklin and Eleanor confronted the challenges in their lives is truly inspirational and fosters hope for us today. Their story is one of triumph over adversity.

This is a message we need to hear: we can overcome the great evil that is threatening us.

We like to think we have control over our lives. We seek order in society by establishing laws which protect our rights and honor the rights of others.

When Glenn and I were raising our three boys we enrolled them in sports programs from the time they were six. We saw sports as a metaphor for life. There are rules,

there is oversight to see the rules are carried out, and there are penalties when the rules are broken. The game is defined by the rules. There would be no game without rules.

When an artist paints a picture he chooses the size of the canvas.

With each brushstroke he adds more limits. Without limits there would be no picture.

All of us give our lives form and meaning by establishing boundaries. We choose a profession and where we live. We align ourselves with a religion or political party.

We need to be mindful that we are one piece in a giant puzzle. What we do influences those around us. As parents we lead by example. If we want “peace on earth”, we must begin with our own families. In a relationship one partner should not seek to control or dominate the other. No wife should need to fear her husband’s anger. Children should not need to fear the wrath of their parents.

If we want them to resolve conflict without violence, we must show them the way.

At home and abroad violent action is frequently seen as “strength”. “Restraint” is considered weakness. In the novel, “War and Peace”, the hero was asked what he would do if he was in a position of power. He answered, “I would hesitate!”

Syrians have been at war with each other for six hundred years and they aren’t any closer to solving their problems. Putin is fomenting unrest in the Ukraine. He is not a “strong leader”. He is a bully.

Alone, our country cannot defeat ISIL. We need a coalition of nations who are willing to confront the forces that vow to destroy us.

Together we can cut off the source of money and arms to the enemy, “starve the beast!” Will our country and the rest of the world be able to work together? Or will we repeat the mistakes of the past?

Public meeting for repurposing R-P school complex in Rushford, Minn.

RUSHFORD,Minn.-September 25, 2014 – The Vision for Repurposing the R-P School Complex subcommittee is holding an open house to share concept sketches developed over the past month. The open house will be held on October 2, 2014 at 6:30 pm in the R-P Theater.

The public is invited to attend the open house to better understand the concepts being proposed and to ask questions of the subcommittee. These concept plans are the subcommittee’s ideas on how to redevelop the R-P school complex following a successful referendum. The subcommittee is aware that the concepts would have to be adopted by a developer who will have to determine the economic feasibility of any plan.

The subcommittee has contacted local and state-wide developers who

indicated there would be interest in such a project in Rushford. The possibility of mixed use housing, continued community uses, and the possibility of historical tax credits all combine into making a redevelopment project feasible.

The subcommittee is made up of school, city, and business leaders in Rushford. The project is being assisted

by Mr. David Kane, of Kane and Johnson Architects, Inc. Mr. Kane has over 40 years of experience, primarily in outstate Minnesota, with a strong background of redeveloping historical properties.

Upon successful passage of the referendum, a school and city planning effort will continue until a developer comes forward with a plan that meets the needs of the community.

In response to Brett Kues commentary To the editor, Recently a guest commentary in the Fillmore County Journal said that if United South Central School District (USC) in Wells, Minn., could build an EC-12 school for $28.8 million, Rushford should be able to do the same. I talked to USC Superintendent Dr. Jerry Jensen and learned that, as usual, we need to look beyond the numbers to explain why the R-P school will cost $38.165 million — more than the recently-opened school in Wells.

When the USC referendum passed in 2012, they had 600 EC-12 students. Their recentlyopened, beautiful 161,000 square foot building can comfortably serve the 680 students they now have enrolled. (Of note: more students than anticipated switched from other schools to USC once the new building was completed.) USC has space for more growth, but rooms like the elementary physical activity center would have to repurposed

into a classroom. In contrast, R-P currently has 724 EC-12 students and is planning a 166,000 school for an estimated 750 students with flexible growth space to accommodate many more.

So, R-P has more students and is planning a 3% larger school at a cost that is nearly 33% higher.

Does that mean the R-P plan is extravagant? No. Dr. Jensen said the USC school contracts came in just before construction costs began increasing dramatically, and their architect and construction management team estimated it would cost 15-20% more if they were starting the school today.

Plus, Wells Concrete, located in Wells, built the exterior structure a very competitive price, a 5-10% luxury that R-P schools won’t have. Those three things — size, timing, and local concrete — explain the majority of the cost difference. And the largest of these — timing — reinforces why the time is now to pass the R-P referendum.

Fillmore County Sports Treacherous, undefeated, and showcased

hook on September 25th in a huge showdown with conference title implications.

Showcased A year ago, Fillmore Central volleyball went to the Class A Showcase in Burnsville and showcased itself. The Falcons won the prestigious tourney. Mabel-Canton might’ve made a bigger impact had their seniors not missed Saturday’s action. This season, both teams were again invited to the lauded volleyball get-together.

They again played some of the best teams in the state, competing hard, winning as often as they lost (3-3). Each began by going 2-1 on Friday in pool play. FC (#8) beat Carlton (25-15, 25-15) and Sebeka (25-20, 20-25, 5-1) while losing to Southwest Christian (2025, 25-23) in a re-match of last year’s state title game. M-C (#6) beat Heritage Christian Academy (25-22, 26-24) and Nevis (25-5, 25-19) while losing to #10 Central Minnesota Christian (26-24, 25-27, 0-5). Both the Falcons and Cougars made the 8-team championship Gold Bracket. FC downed Mayer Lutheran (17-25, 26-24, 15-9) to move on to the semis.

The Falcons then fell to #7 New Life Academy (22-25, 23-25). A loss to #3 Tracy-Milroy-Balatan (9-25, 20-25) had them finish fourth. M-C played their ‘best match of the tourney’ in falling to #7 New Life Academy (2225, 25-18, 13-15) in the quarters.

In the consolation semis, M-C trailed Mayer Lutheran 13-9 in set three (22-25, 25-23) only to get the game (17-15) and match win.

They then lost to Martin County West (22-25, 20-25) to take sixth.

New Life won the tourney. Martin County West, Heritage Christian Academy, Mayer Lutheran, SW Christian, and Carlton all are just outside the state top 10. Morgan Malley (31 kills, 81 assists, 60 digs), Sammi Bakke (29 kills, 9 blocks), Leah Scheevel (27 kills), and Tayah Barnes (72 digs) led FC. Sara Vettleson-Trutza (58 kills, 41 digs), Coranda Vickerman (140 assists, 35 digs, 11 aces), Savannah Slafter (29 kills, 45 digs, 38-38 serving), and Lexi Thorson (67 digs) led the Cougars. FC is 12-5 (6-0). M-C is 18-3 (8-0).

Trutza, led M-C with a seasonhigh 17 kills. Vickerman tallied 37 assists, 11 digs, and four aces.

Graves also had a season-high in kills with 13. Savannah Slafter chipped in six kills. Lexi Thorson was 18-19 serving with 9 digs. Lanesboro was led by Rachel Kimball (7 kills), Melander (17 assists, 10-10 serving), and Ruud (4 kills, 9 digs).

TRC Undefeated Just about midway through the volleyball season, Fillmore Central and Chatfield sit atop the TRC standings. Each is undefeated in conference play with FC holding a ½ game lead. The Falcons moved to 6-0 with wins over L-A (25-17, 25-22, 25-20) and P-E-M (25-21, 25-11, 25-17). Against the Cards, Morgan Malley (6 kills, 19 assists, 16 digs), Leah Scheevel (10 kills), Paige Bennett (7 kills), and Tayah Barnes (13 digs, 16-16 serving) led the way. Against the ‘Dogs, it was Malley (18 assists, 15-16 serving, 4 aces), Scheevel (7 kills), Bennett (8 kills), Barnes (4 kills, 12 digs, 14-14 serving), Sammi Bakke (5 kills, 8 digs, 2 blocks), and Sara Schultz (10 digs) in a team effort.

Chatfield, meanwhile, took care of business versus Cotter (25-11, 25-17, 25-13) and Southland (2519, 25-12, 25-22) to move to 5-0 in the TRC. Kirsten Keefe, who made the transition to setter this season, had a big night (32 assists, 9 digs, 15-15 serving, 6 aces) versus the Ramblers. She kept Sheridan Salisbury (8 kills, 10 digs), Maddy Kammer (8 kills, 10-10 serving), and Brook Irish (6 kills) happy. Maddie Talamantes led the Gophers with 12 digs (14-14 serving). Versus Southland, game one was tied 14-apiece. From that point through the end of game two, Chatfield out-scored the Rebels 36-17. They got the 3-0 sweep without the services of two starters, Kammer and Brooke Adler. Keefe (28 assists, 13 digs, 11-11 serving) again set the table. Irish (12 kills, 4 blocks) was a force. Salisbury (8 kills, 15 digs), Danielle Kramer (8 kills), and Talamantes (10 digs) helped Dorn, Miller Run through Hurricanes out.

Chatfield is 6-4 overall.

By Paul Trende Treacherous Two-Step Lanesboro volleyball endured some unenviable scheduling, a twonight set of matches with ranked powers FC (#8) and M-C (#6).

The Falcons were up first.

Fresh off a disappointing W-K t o u r n e y, FC went through Lanesboro 25-11, 25-21, and 25-11.

Things w e re n’t nearly as dominating as in Paul Trende the past two seasons, where the Burros only got to double digits twice in six games.

Set two was actually tied at 17 and the Burros were as close as one (21-20) before FC grabbed victory. The Falcons got good efforts from veteran players Morgan Malley (24 assists, 7 digs, 3 aces), Leah Scheevel (11 kills), and Sammi Bakke (7 kills). Lanesboro was led by Olivia Haug (5 kills), Cassidy Ruud (4 kills, 8 digs), Lexi Melander (9 assists), and Olivia Rogers (9 digs).

The Burros then took a trip to Mabel. The Cougars were impressive. It is easy to win when you overpower your opponent early.

The combined M-C runs to start the three games was 21-1 (10-1, 7-0, and 4-0)! After ten total points each game, M-C led 9-1, 9-1, and 7-3! Game one saw the Cougars get a trio of emphatic Sara Vettleson-Trutza kills, a pair of Hannah Nolte kills, a pair of Courtney Graves kills, and three Coranda Vickerman aces in amassing their first ten points. All told, M-C procured 19 points via kill in the set. Vettleson-Trutza had the rare eight kill game, Vickerman the rare 16 assist game! The Cougars cruised to a 3-0 win (2511, 25-9, 25-18). The name that cascades off the tongue, Vettleson-

The Trende Report

ing 22-0 early in the third, Brett Hoskins intercepted a Will Semmen pass deep in Burro territory. A few plays later, on 4th and four from the 5-yardline, Hoskins trekked towards the goal on a run play, but he fumbled through the end zone, ending the drive and the threat. Dorn’s long run then made it 30-0. The only thing left for Lanesboro in “The Battle for the Bell” was to see if they could pitch a shut-out. Twice in the fourth quarter, reserves kept Houston’s from scoring from inside the ten.

The Burros kept the bell, rang it, and grabbed a 36-0 victory. They moved to 3-1 on the season. GM (4-0), Randolph (3-0), and Spring Grove (3-1) round out the SEC top four. Dorn (11-137, 4 TDs) and Millar (16-180, TD) did the damage on the ground. Hoskins (16-73 yards rushing) led the Hurricanes. The teams combined to go 3-11 for 18 yards and 2 INTS thru the air. Houston drops to 2-3.

Hot Shots

Tenth-ranked R-P football whipped 3-and-0 Goodhue 39-13.

Alex Vix rushed for two TD’s and returned an interception for a third. He nearly had a fourth TD, a 108-yard pick six, but it was negated by penalty. He finished with 100-plus yards in INTreturns nonetheless. The Trojans are now 4-1 on the year. They trail only Caledonia (5-0) in the SFA Blue. M-C running backs Keyser

Wenthold and Wayne Ross combined for nearly 300 yards rushing and 6 TD’s as the Cougars downed L-O 47-24. Ross now has 15 TDs in five games. The Cougars are 3-2. Houston volleyball won a pair of SEC games including a 3-2 match over Spring Grove. They are in second place in the SECEast (6-2, 9-4 overall). Brianna Koop had 10 kills, 16 digs, and 4 aces, and Bailey Holien had 11 kills, to lead R-P to a 3-0 sweep of Cotter. LFC girls cross country notched their third second place team finish in a row in falling to only Austin at the Lake City Invite.

The Packers finished 1-5, notching a perfect C-C score. Leah Ruen (8th) led the Burro-Falcon stable.

All five finished top 20. At the Pine Island Invite, LARP’s Hunter Herber (5th), Dylan Linder (7th), and Bailey O’Hare (10th-girls) all finished top ten. Chatfield’s Karen Gomez-Ruiz finished 9th at the Jim Flim Invite.

Keep Young Athletes Healthy and Fit

In today’s age of health and fitness, more and more kids are involved in sporting activities. Although being part of a football, soccer or Little League team is an important rite of passage for many children, parents and their children could be overlooking the importance of proper nutrition and body-conditioning needed for preventing injuries on and off the playing field.

“The majority, if not all, sports are good, provided that the child prepares appropriately,” says Dr. Timothy Ray, a member of the American Chiropractic Association’s Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness. “Without proper preparation, playing any sport can turn into a bad experience. There are structural and physical developmental issues that need to be taken into consideration before children undertake certain sports.”

Highly competitive sports such as football, gymnastics and wrestling follow rigorous training schedules that can be potentially dangerous to an adolescent or teenager.

The best advice for parents who have young athletes in the family is to help them prepare their bodies and to learn to protect themselves from sports related injuries before they happen.

“Proper warm up, stretching and strength-training exercises are essential for kids involved in sports, but many kids learn improper stretching or weight-lifting techniques, making them more susceptible to injury,” says Dr. Steve Horwitz, an ACA member from Silver Spring, Md., and former member of the U.S. Summer Olympic medical team. “Parents need to work with their kids and make sure they receive the proper sports training.”

“Young athletes should begin with a slow jog as a general warm-up, followed by a sport-specific warm-up. They should then stretch all the major muscle groups,” says Dr. Horwitz. “Kids need to be instructed in appropriate exercises for each sport to prevent injuries.”

Proper nutrition and hydration are also extremely vital. “While an ordinary person may need to drink eight to 10 8-ounce glasses of water each day, athletes need to drink even more than that for proper absorption. Breakfast should be the most important meal of the day. Also, eating a healthy meal two to four hours before a practice or a game and another within one to two hours after a game or practice allows for proper replenishment and refuels the body,” adds Dr. Horwitz.

Young athletes today often think they are invincible. The following tips can help ensure your child does not miss a step when it comes to proper fitness, stretching, training and rest that the body needs to engage in sporting activities.

Encourage your child to • Wear the proper equipment • Eat healthy meals • Maintain a healthy weight • Drink water • Drink milk • Avoid sugar-loaded, caffeinated and carbonated drinks • Follow a warm-up routine • Take vitamins daily • Avoid trendy supplements • Get plenty of rest. from the American Chiropractic Association

Lanesboro celebrates Homecoming 2014

By Barb Jeffers The cooler weather and leaves changing color not only mark the beginning of fall but also homecoming season for area schools. Lanesboro High School in Lanesboro, Minn. held coronation Monday, September 22, 2014, which brought many residents and visitors to the school’s gymnasium.

As the band played, keeping everyone entertained, the excitement grew until 7 pm when the program began. McKenzie Hanson, daughter of Lisa Benson and Bill Hanson, was master of ceremonies and began the program by introducing the royalty and crown bearers who all looked very nice in their suits and dresses.

Queen candidates were: •Bailey Gartner, daughter of Tom and Mikki Gartner •Alexis Jorgensen, daughter of Britt and Erin Amdahl and Matt Jorgensen •Claire Peterson, daughter of Joe and Jody Peterson •Rosie Jones, daughter of Lisa Jones •Kelsey O’Koren, daughter of Joe and Jane O’Koren King candidates were: •Zach Voeltz, son of Dennis and Debby Voeltz •Liam Dorn, son of Patty Wigg and David Dorn •Matthew Luck, son of Ron and Shaune Luck •Will Semmen, son of James and Brenda Semmen •Kyle Lawstuen, son of David and Debby Lawstuen Crown bearers were Jeweleanna Lidke, daughter of Holland

Lidke and Barry Churchill, and Cooper Hovland, son of Mark and Kayla Hovland. The kids did a wonderful job performing their duties as crown bearers and enjoyed watching the skits along with the rest of the audience.

Before the King and Queen were crowned, the seventh through twelve grade each performed skits, which were quite comical. Winners of the skits were: first place - tenth grade, second place - seniors, and taking third place was the seventh grade.

Following the skits, the King and Queen were crowned. The Lanesboro High School Homecoming Queen is Claire Peterson and Homecoming King is Kyle Lawstuen. Both were very surprised and happy when last year’s King, Kole Ruud crowned each of them. Last year’s Queen, Regan Howerton, was unable to attend, so Ruud stepped in to crown both the King and Queen.

Many events were included throughout Homecoming week, including a Cross-Country Invitational at the Root River Golf Course, junior high football in Grand Meadow, Minn., junior high volleyball at home versus Spring Grove, B squad football in Grand Meadow, B squad volleyball at home against Spring Grove, and varsity volleyball on Tuesday.

Additional sporting events took place on Thursday with junior high volleyball, B squad volleyball and varsity volleyball teams all playing in Grand

Meadow.

Students participated in “Dress Up Days” during Homecoming week, which they really enjoyed. Monday was pajama day, Tuesday was America day, Wednesday was wacky day, Thursday was class colors day, and Friday was spirit day.

Friday was a very festive day for the Burro’s, with a Homecoming parade at 1:30 in the afternoon. Grade school kids were all smiles for friends and family who lined the street ,while the seventh through twelfth grade students showed off their floats. The royalty had fun riding on fancy cars while they smiled and waved for pictures.

Following the parade, a pep fest took place in Sylvan Park, which always gets the football team and their supporters ramped up and ready for the big game.

The booster club held a pork barbeque beginning at 4:30 pm.

Friday afternoon and served the delicious food until halftime of the game. As the Fillmore County Journal went to press before the Homecoming football game was played, we can only imagine it was a hard fought and exciting game, no matter what the outcome.

A homecoming week packed full of fun and exciting events provided many memories for all students, from Seniors to the Kindergarten class, as well as friends, family, school staff, and many others in the community.

Morgan Malley Fillmore Central Volleyball

FC volleyball finished fourth at the prestigious Class A Showcase. Senior setter Morgan Malley was the Falcons’ MVP, leading her team in kills and assists, while ranking second in digs.

Her efforts are a big reason why FC is a volleyball force and why they sit atop the 3-Rivers conference (7-0).

Where did the summer go?!! Even as I write…in the first sentence we are enjoying the summer side of the road…heat and humidity; the next sentence we’re already on the autumn side of the road…cool and crisp. It’s time to move that favorite sweatshirt to the front of the closet and enjoy a walk in the colorful woods of SE Minnesota.

Most of the garden has been harvested and it’s too late to plant the fall crops of radishes, lettuce or spinach… next year we will start sooner. But there’s still the planting of next years garlic crop, soon to happen down the road. Paul Schmidt plants at least 25 varieties of organic garlic in the fall… some for commercial use, some for the Garlic Festival, some for the Farmers Market and of course some for me. He promotes this herb with a t-shirt that says “Garlic Is Life”!

Who doesn’t like the aroma of garlic added to whatever dish you’re cooking…not to mention the taste and healthy benefits of this herb.

While cooking with garlic adds so much to your dish, eating garlic raw is another thing. Raw probably has more benefits, but the odor coming out of your pores and on your breath could very well ward off vampires (or someone sitting next to you). A Yiddish proverb says “A nickel will get you on the subway, but garlic will get you a seat”. Anyway, you might want to reconsider eating a raw garlic clove, if you are going out in the public. But in case you forget and eat that healthy clove of garlic right before you leave the house, drink a glass of milk to neutralize it. It does work and it’s probably the only thing that will.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

Monday, September 29, 2014

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

“Monster Bash” to begin soon Fillmore County police reports The “Monster Bash” Haunted House is a fundraising event for the Fillmore Central Music Department. In 2011, Fillmore Central band director, Lane Powell and Monster Bash chairman, Jay Masters discussed the idea of a large scale fundraiser for the department. The first Monster Bash was held in 2012 and was an enormous success. There were over 100 people who donated their time and talents to construct the haunted house, make props and man the event on the evenings it was open. Business owners, private individuals and other non-profit organizations joined together to help the students raise over $9,000. The Monster Bash Haunted House is the largest fundraiser for the music department and has grown in size, participation and excitement every year.

All rooms and hallways have a specific theme. Some have live actors, some do not. The Monster Bash Haunted House is MUCH more than dark areas with people with a mask jumping out at you. The rooms have detailed décor, with black light paint ($50/quart), outdoor scenes, fog and many scares for young and old alike. The event this year is themed, “Monster Bash CarnEVIL of Fear.”

2014 marks the third year for

the event and it promises to be the biggest and best haunted house so far. The event draws people from Rochester, Byron, and Winona, Minn., Waukon, Iowa, and LaCrosse, Wisc., along with many other communities, many coming every year. Several guests have called it the best haunted house they have ever seen. All guests are surprised at the size and attention to detail that goes into the structure. Hundreds of hours go into the planning, organizing, building and painting of props and the structure itself.

This year there will be 20 people working the haunted house each night. Some will sell tickets, concessions and Monster Bash tee shirts, but most will be inside the haunted house.

The Monster Bash kicks off with a “less scary” night on Friday, October 17. The less scary night is for young children or adults who want to experience the fun without the fright. We will open at 4:30 p.m. that day and stay open until 9:30 p.m.

The Monster Bash will then be open from 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday through October 31.

For more information contact Lane Powell at (563) 203-0219 or Jay Masters at (507) 2733143.

“Ask a Trooper”

but you have 10 days to display them. For example, if the registration tabs are October 2014, the tabs must be purchased by October 31, 2014. You then have ten days (November 10, 2014) to get them on the license plates.

I would also like to add vehicles must display the month of expiration in the lower left corner of each license plate and the year of expiration in the lower right corner of each license plate.

A portion of state statutes were used with permission from the Office of the Revisor of Statutes. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Trp. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW Rochester, MN 55901-5848 or reach him at troy.christianson@ state.mn.us.

Question: My registration tabs for my license plates are due. Is there some leeway when I have to purchase those?

Answer: This is a good question and I have learned something myself along the way.

Minnesota Troy State Stat- Christianson ute 168.09 says: “A vehicle registered under the monthly series system of registration shall display the plates and insignia issued within ten days of the first day of the month which commences the registration period.”

Let me clarify: The registration tabs must be purchased before the end of the month,

replacement.

Some residents have spoken out about the replacement of the main, especially the Church Street section, but project engineers maintain that it will be the most advantageous time. County engineer Ron Gregg noted that the county would like to see everything under the roadway repaired and replaced so the road does not have to be torn up again in the future, however, he acknowledges that those decisions rest with the council.

County Commissioner Randy Dahl agreed. “To say it’s not going to cost you more in the future is not really accurate. The lowest cost is when the county does the road while the project is underway.”

Work on the roadway could have a substantial impact on the aged main. Engineers stated

mains are typically seven feet below the road way and reconstruction includes roughly four feet of soil. Without knowing exact depths on the mains, by settling on original design, the project runs the risk of damaging the mains through vibration, compaction, or direct accidental contact. “There’s more of a chance with close proximity,” added city clerk Megan Grebe.

“It makes me very nervous,” responded Gregg.

Moreover, the water main size is inaccurate. The city is already aware that the four inch main does not provide enough capacity and pressure for fire protection. SEH Yaggy project engineer David Strauss suggests that an eight-inch main is typical.

If the city chooses to go ahead with the Church Street main replacement, the main may be relocated from under the roadway into the right-of-way to ease future access issues.

Monday, September 29, 2014 The other controversial issue, sidewalk replacement, was also discussed. Project engineers maintain that with the changes to roadway elevations, the city should replace all County 25/ Mill Street sidewalks to match the elevations of new curbs and gutters, as well as Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, eliminating steep slopes and other potential issues. Doing so would also reduce the cost of the project. Strauss noted that complete replacement allows greater flexibility with the project if engineers are not required to design around sections of remaining sidewalks. With utility trenching requiring the removal of twenty foot sections, having small sections of remaining sidewalks in the design could also drive up contractor bids, as the work would be more tedious and time-consuming.

missing, or under four inches of sod, may also see replacement. Engineer surveys determined that the sidewalks are in the right-of-way, so the city will not need unanimous property owner permission if the sidewalk portion is approved. Another option for Church Street walkways could include widening the road to add a four-foot paved shoulder on either side. The impact of this on reduced ditch drainage would need review.

The city has authorized engineers to proceed with an updated feasibility study, to be presented at the Wednesday, October 22 council meeting. Following approval of the study, the city will hold a public improvement hearing on the project included all aspects; water mains, sidewalks, and proposed electrical work. After the hearing, the council will need to order the improvements in order to facilitate the design phase. Once design is to 60 percent, engineers will bring draft designs to the city for review. Once plans and specs are approved, the process can move to a bidding phase.

“Stay on board with the schedule,” added Gregg. “Urgency is needed to get good early bidding. I urge the council to keep

the ball rolling.”

Financial consultant Mike Bubany, of David Drown Associates, was on hand at the meeting to discuss fincancial impacts and possible revenue streams for the project. With all potential aspects considered, the potential project cost could reach $590,000.

A portion of the project, including water main and sidewalks, will be assessed to property owners. After county funding, the city will use general obligation bonds for funding.

However, the city is considering using a portion of water utility revenue to fund the project as a strategy to keep the tax rate down. Peterson’s current tax rate is 74 percent, and along with water and sewer rates, is one of the lowest municipalities in the area. “Even so, people are used to paying ‘x’ and it’s going to take a change,” added Bubany.

“We still have chances to change things,” added councilor Gail Boyum. “It’s a fluid thing.”

“We have to consider the wealth of the people that we’re having this done to,” added councilor Dick Lee. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Wednesday, October 8, at 7 pm, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

DEED accepting applications for broadband grants ST. PAUL, Minn. – State officials are accepting applications for funding to expand broadband infrastructure in areas of Minnesota that don’t have adequate high-speed internet service.

Governor Mark Dayton signed into law the $20 million Border-to-Border Broadband Development Grant Program in May. Under the measure, groups can apply for up to $5 million in funding to build out broadband infrastructure in their communities. Applicants must have at least a 50 percent funding match for their projects.

“Border-to-border access to reliable high-speed internet coverage will be essential to Minnesota’s continued economic growth,” said Governor Dayton.

“These competitive grants will help move our state closer to that important goal.”

The Office of Broadband Development within the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is managing the grant program and application process.

“Our goal is to ensure all Minnesotans have access to broadband,” said DEED Commissioner Katie Clark Sieben.

“Thanks to Governor Dayton and the Legislature, the state now has a fund dedicated to spur the development of highspeed internet availability for Minnesota consumers, businesses and schools.”

The Office Broadband Development, which was created during the 2013 legislative ses-

sion to direct broadband planning and policy statewide, held meetings in seven Minnesota cities this summer to discuss the proposed application process for the Border-to-Border Broadband Development Grant Program and to obtain feedback.

Eligible applicants for grants under the program can include incorporated businesses and partnerships, political subdivisions, Indian tribes, Minnesota nonprofits, cooperative associations and limited liability corporations.

Applications must include information on the location of the project, the type and quantity of infrastructure that would be needed, the total cost of the project, and the sources of funding that will supplement any grant award.

Application materials and other details are available on the DEED website at http:// mn.gov/deed/about/contracts/.

DEED is the state’s principal economic development agency, promoting business recruitment, expansion and retention, workforce development, international trade and community development.

Jennifer A gumbel, Attorney What is a corporate farming report and why do I have to do one?

The State of Minnesota prohibits most entities like trusts, corporations, LLCs and limited partnerships from owning farmland. The reason? They want to make sure large agribusinesses and investors aren’t driving up the cost of farmland and ensure that local families have ownership of farmland. There are many exceptions, including for family farm entities. Many entities qualify for this exception.

However, these entities need to file a corporate farming report with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Entities merely renting agricultural land also need to file a report and landowners are required to notify the state on the form whether they are renting to an entity, and if that entity has filed its own report.

This requirement has been around for years, but the State hadn’t had a great way of either informing landowners of the requirement or enforcing it. Two recent changes to the law now require entities to make the report in order to obtain the additional estate tax exemption for qualified farmland and homestead classification for property taxes. A corporate farming report form is available on the Minnesota Department of Agriculture website and our office has assisted many in making this required reporting.

What is Thermal Mass and how does it benefit walls built with ICF’s?

The concrete core of an ICF wall acts as a solid mass that has some unique benefits that save money on heating and cooling costs. The center monolithic concrete core is sandwiched between two layers of 2 1/2” to 3 1/4” EPS foam that separates the concrete core from the outside changing temps and significantly reduces the flow of heat through the wall. ICF walls essentially have very high storage capacity with very low thermal conductivity, so they provide very useful levels of thermal mass. The high thermal mass is very beneficial to stabilize interior temperatures from the big swing we have in outside temperatures in our climate. ICF homes heating and cooling systems can be downsized from wood framed houses, which means less energy consumption, which saves money all year long and makes for a more comfortable home.

What value does a stream, river, or pond add to land?

Quality water frontage can add a great deal of value to a given property, with the key aspect being “quality”. Generally speaking, people like the idea of having a water source on the property. They add beauty, attract wildlife and can provide additional enjoyment. The first thing to consider is what recreational or functional value does the body of water provide? A spring stream, sparkling as it flows over limestone riffles and teeming with trout has widespread appeal for both the aesthetics and angling opportunities. The question here is whether it is private or does the DNR own a public fishing easement for that stretch of the stream? Private streams typically add more value.

One somewhat hidden drawback to trout streams is in the case where you need to cross them with a road/driveway. Designated trout streams have a protected waterway classification and require special permitting for any modification of the stream. A significant bonus would be having a buildable site overlooking a stream or pond.

Because of the various building restrictions, this type of building site is very rare. Things to watch out for are slough ground, flood plain and wetland classifications. Even when looking at land for hunting/ recreation, buyers are cautious when it comes to wet, low ground because a wet year can really limit their ability to use the property.

I have a gun for home defense. Is there anything else that I should also have?

A gun is an essential part for anyone’s home defense.

However, the most important thing anyone needs for home defense is to be prepared with a safety plan.

You should go about this with your family in the same sense that you do a fire drill or weather related emergency. If you suspect you have an intruder in your home your family needs to know how to act and what is expected of them—and PRACTICE with your family. There are a few other items to consider as part of your safety plan that can assist in providing yourself with added safety: cell phone (for quickly calling 911), a bright flashlight, and a light mounted on your home defense gun (being able to quickly identify a threat is vital). Do you have a safety plan?

monitor the moisture levels of your corn silage and high moisture corn, and harvest it at the proper moisture levels. For corn silage, we recommend 63-69% moisture and 26-34% moisture for HMC. If either gets too dry, digestibility will be impacted.

Once it’s harvested, save more of the nutrients by using a silage inoculant or acid-based stabilizer. I recommend Biomax® 5 bacterial inoculant for greater corn silage stability and Silage Savor® Plus, an organic acid-based silage stabilizer for forage crops and high moisture ground corn. Greater stability results in less spoilage, more available nutrients, greater palatability, and higher dry matter intake. The result: higher production and potentially a better return on your investment.

Additional prohibited use in the Ag District

By Karen Reisner The Fillmore County Planning Commission at their September 18 meeting held a public hearing on the proposed added language to 604.01 Prohibited Uses (Ag District) #1. The new language will further restrict the Ag District from being rezoned.

It has been prohibited to do an activity which will require a change in the Zoning Map from the Ag District to a Commercial District

or to an Industrial District unless it is within one-half mile of a city limits. The additional language will now extend that prohibition from Ag District to a Residential Agricultural District, Single & Two-Family Residential District.

There was no comment from the public on the proposed additional prohibition. Zoning administrator Chris Graves said the intention of the language change is to keep ag land in agri-

culture. The commission unanimously approved the change and sent it on to the county board for their consideration.

The planning commission then had a lengthy discussion on other language changes under consideration. One was 405.09 Exceptions to Non-conforming Uses.

No action was taken and no specific proposed language change was drafted. The discussion had to do with an existing structure that

If a non conforming structure is destroyed should the property owner be allowed to rebuild in that same location as long as it doesn’t encroach any further into the setback without a variance? Or, should a property owner of a nonconforming structure be allowed to add on to a dwelling as long as it doesn’t encroach any further into the setback without a variance? Graves made it clear that a dwelling could not be rebuilt or added on to if it was in a flood plain, declaring, “we do not allow

The commission also discussed restrictions in the Ag District for constructing a new dwelling on land that is 65 CER or greater.

Graves asked the commission to consider a change to Section 803 #2 of the Septic Ordinance.

He insisted it was confusing and could be interpreted in different ways. The section deals with establishing an escrow account to bring a non-compliant septic up to code

in the event of a sale or transfer of property. No action was taken.

Board of Adjustment Mary Rouse, Norway Township, had applied for a variance so her existing dwelling could be replaced with a new home within the 1,000 foot setback of an existing feedlot. She is selling her property and a possible buyer would like the option to replace the existing dwelling with a new home.

The feedlot, which is 438 feet from Rouse’s house, is owned by Doug Lind. Lind was the only speaker from the public during the public hearing for the variance. He started by saying Mary has been a great neighbor before laying out his concerns. He wanted to know how long the variance would be in effect. He was informed that the variance will be recorded and go with the property.

Graves explained that the home is a nonconforming structure because it lies within the required

Pet of the Week

setback. Therefore, a variance is needed before a building permit can be accepted. Lind had questioned why the specifics of a building permit was not required first, before the application for a variance. Lind also had questions about the septic and well. Graves said the septic will have to be compliant and sized appropriately.

The variance was approved with the condition that a new home would not be any closer to the feedlot than the existing dwelling and that it would be built on the same side of the road as the existing dwelling.

The Planning Commission discussion on 405.09 Exceptions to Non-conforming uses was related to the Rouse variance request.

The current ordinance requires a variance application if a property owner wants to add on to or replace an existing structure that does not conform to a required setback. A possible change to the ordinance didn’t get beyond the discussion phase.

Chatfield looks to the future

By Karen Reisner Chatfield councilors, at their September 22 meeting, were joined by the Planning Commission, the Economic Development Authority (EDA), and some city staff members to hear presentations that may broaden their perspective for the city’s future.

DMC, John Murphy Murphy, public affairs Mayo Clinic, spoke on the long term strategy plan known as Destination Medical Center (DMC), which is part of the business plan for Mayo Clinic’s future. He said their competitors, including Cleveland Clinic, John Hopkins, and Harvard Hospitals are working to replicate the “Mayo Model”.

DMC provides a strategy to create the places that people want to visit and the experiences that make them want to return, including the provision of services inside and outside the clinic. Improving experiences for clinic visitors encompasses, but is not limited to, choices for transportation, housing, dining, entertainment, and recreation.

Rochester is a city of 106,000 residents that hosts 28 million visitors per year, which is more than Orlando or Las Vegas.

Rochester has the third largest issuance of patents per capita in the United States. Murphy asked, “How do we keep that brain power?” He maintained that transportation is key.

DMC is a 20 year plan. It is expected that roughly $6 billion will be invested by public and private over the 20 year period. It is estimated that 35,000 to 40,000 new jobs will be created (16,000 at Mayo Clinic). The state should gain roughly $3 billion new tax dollars, of which about 10 percent is to return to the city of Rochester. The economic impact should spill over to parts of Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

Murphy asked if Chatfield is ready to support that growth with its schools, workers, and housing, while keeping its identity as a community.

Journey to Growth, Gary Smith Smith, Rochester EDA, explained that Journey to Growth is a five year regional plan. The goal is to diversify the regional economy. It is now 40 percent dependent on Mayo Clinic. He maintained that at the end of 20 years we don’t want to be more than 40 percent dependent on Mayo Clinic. The focus of Journey to Growth is on growing other sectors of the economy.

Several target areas listed by Smith to achieve their goal include advanced health care, computer systems, food manufacturing, tourism, and transportation equipment manufacturing. Goals include the expansion and diversity of the regional economy, engaging, retaining and attracting top talent, and working toward a cohesive and connected region.

Smith insisted, “It will take all of us working together.” DMC is one piece of the plan. The intention is to capitalize on the momentum that DMC will create.

Chatfield Comprehensive Plan, Kristi Clarke

Clarke, Planning and Development Coordinator, explained the process of developing a Comprehensive Plan for the city (20142050). The plan is a framework and a vision for the community, plus a land use plan. It should be completed this year or early next year.

The plan provides a guide for future planning and zoning decisions, provides a direction for the EDA board, and a guide for the city council. The plan has three components including 1) community context or where we are (demographic information), 2) goals and policies or ‘where we want to go’, and 3) a land use and policy guide or how do we implement where we want to go. Clarke said they are now working on the second component.

Clarke said 18 percent of the city is in a flood plain and is open space, providing a lot of potential for

outdoor recreation. The Center for the Arts, when fully operational, is expected to welcome 7,700 visitors per year. Members of each of the boards present were asked to write down their vision for Chatfield’s future, which will be used to help develop the second part of the plan.

Other Business In Brief •Mayor Russ Smith read a proclamation he had signed recognizing National POW/MIA Recognition Day, September 19.

•On September 25 the city will be showing their appreciation to legislators for the $5.3 million included in the 2014 Capital Investment Bill.

It will be held where the funds are to be used, at the Chatfield Center for the Arts. The money will fund the 2015 work program for Phases II and IV. Plans for Phases III and V will also be shown. City clerk Joel Young said the predesign process is substantially complete.

THANK YOU

The family of Marcia (Eickhoff) Udenberg would like to

Thank everyone for the love & support shown to Marcia and our family since her ovarian cancer diagnosis and now, her death. Words cannot begin to describe how much we appreciate it. A special Thank You to the nurses and doctors at Methodist Hospital, Mayo Clinic Gonda 10, Griffin-Gray funeral home, Pastor Meline and the people from Zion Lutheran Church for serving the lunch. Also to Shannon Knoepke for singing the Lord’s prayer. Marcia would have been proud. Also, a huge Thank You to the Stewartville Booster Club. The “Marcia” stickers the football team will have on their helmets is an awesome idea. Thanks also to all Marcia’s Stewartville friends. You’ve been such great support to Marcia and now, all of her family.

A statement from heaven:

I just want to let you know that I made it home. The journey wasn’t an easy one, but it didn’t take too long. Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh & new. I wish that you could close your eyes and that you could see it too. Please try not to be sad for me.

Try to understand, God is taking care of me. I’m in the shelter of his hands. Here there is no sadness, no sorry or no pain. Here there is no crying and I’ll never hurt again. Here it is so peaceful when all the angels sing...
