A fun new game for game night Moratorium adopted by Newburg Township By H annah Wingert

hannah@fillmorecountyjournal.com

By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com

During a well attended Newburg Township meeting held at the Mabel Community Center, the township board adopted, by a 2:1 vote, an interim moratorium on new feedlots of over 500 animal units or the expansion of existing feedlots to over 500 animal units and on the construction of new non-farm dwellings in agricultural areas. The moratorium is effective as of the date of its adoption, August 23, for one year. Currently, Newburg Township does not have its own zoning

Becky Hoff is excited about the release of the Harmony-Opoly games. Photo submitted games that weren’t covered by the game space sales and other sponsorships were picked up by the Chamber. The Chamber members set to work designing the game board, cards, money, and playing pieces. Dawn Maroushek, a graphic designer with Letterwerks also worked on the project. Harmony residents Sharon Storhoff, Mary Beth Ostrom, and Kim Thompson all lent pictures to use for the game box. The First Southeast Bank of Harmony sponsored the paper money pieces for the game. The Harmony Area Community Foundation sponsored one of the decks of cards and the other

was sponsored by the Harmony EDA. The cards feature choices such as “hold a family reunion at Selvig Park� and “pay for preschool tuition at Fillmore Central.� The pewter playing pieces were especially fun to design. 521 Promo sent the Chamber a list of the playing pieces they already carried. From that list, the Chamber chose golf clubs, a train, a bicycle, and a music note. The other two pieces, an Amish horse and buggy and a tractor were custom designed. “It was just so much fun to work on, and I’m very happy See OPOLY Page 2 

ordinance, depending instead on the county zoning ordinance. A township can develop a more restrictive ordinance than the county’s. Five townships have more restrictive ordinances than the county zoning ordinance. The moratorium will allow the township time to appoint a committee of at least three members to conduct a study. The committee will look into whether the Fillmore County ordinance protects residents of the township sufficiently in its regulation of feedlots and other agricultural rural land uses.

State Veterans Cemetery Preston receives certificate of recognition By Barb Jeffers barb@fillmorecountyjournal.com

State officials visited the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Preston, Minn., on August 24, 2018, for a very special presentation, as the staff at the veterans cemetery was presented a certificate of recognition. The certificate of recognition was presented by Randy Reeves, Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs, with the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Also attending the event was Pamela Powers, U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs Chief of Staff; Brad Lindsay, Deputy Commissioner of Programs and Services with the MDVA; Robert Gross, Administrator of the Minnesota State Veterans Cem-

If you’re from Harmony and love board games, you’re going to want to add Harmony-Opoly, a limited edition real estate trading game, to your collection. Melissa Vander Plas, who sits on the board of directors for the Harmony Chamber of Commerce, first brought up the idea of creating a game based on the City of Harmony during a chamber meeting last year. She had heard of something similar being done in Mankato and thought it would be neat to have a game for Harmony as well. Becky Hoff, the director of the Chamber of Commerce, contacted Letterwerks, a graphic design company from Decorah, and they suggested using 521 Promo to create a board game featuring the City of Harmony. A Georgia based company, 521 Promo allows customers to design their own games for personal use, fundraisers, communities, etc. Before committing to the project, Hoff put out some feelers around the area businesses to determine if there was interest. Once she had established that people were interested an excited about the concept, the Chamber began to formally sell real estate spaces on the game board. In just a few months, all of the spaces had been purchased. “It worked out perfectly,� Hoff said, noting that they didn’t have to turn anyone away who was interested. When all was said and done, around 35 Harmony businesses had purchased spaces on the board. The chamber made sure to keep the price point affordable so everyone could participate, and they were happy with the results. The production costs for the

with the results,� Hoff said about Harmony-Opoly. The Chamber had originally planned to debut the games in November, but Hoff decided it would be better to complete the game design by mid-May to allow the Chamber time to focus on planning the Fourth of July celebration. Because of that, the games arrived in August instead. The games will be launched during the Chamber’s Ladies’ Night Out on September 13. Starting on that day, the games will be available to purchase at Kingsley Mercantile, Harmony Gardens & Floral, Boutique on Main, and the Harmony Visitor Center.

Monday, September 3, 2018

The cost for each game is $32 with no advance orders being accepted and cash or check only for payment. The proceeds from the Harmony-Opoly games will go to the Chamber. “We will use that for marketing and other various projects,� Hoff explained. The Chamber originally planned to order 500 of the limited edition, real-estate trading Harmony-Opoly games, but then added another 250 to the order, bringing the total number of games to 750. Due to production costs, they will not be restocked when they have all been sold. “I do think they’re going to go quickly,� Hoff commented. “People should buy them early if they’re planning to give them for Christmas gifts.�

Harmony-Opoly comes with all the standard pieces of a regular real estate trading game. Photo submitted

Rushford Council approves lot sale By Kirsten Zoellner The last remaining lot in Rush Creek Business Park, 900 Enterprise Drive, will be the future home of Volkman Auto Body. The City of Rushford received an offer, through Darr Realty, from Leigh and Kayla Volkman, and the council approved it unanimously at the August 27 meeting. The amount is comparable to other per acre values in the industrial area, due to a number of easements that run through the parcel. Volkman’s offer, $40,000 for the three-acre lot, which sits at the southern, cul de sac end of the drive. “It’s a simple and straightforward offer,� said realtor Rod Darr. “They’re not looking for anything special. There are no contingencies or financing needs.� Taxes on the sale will be prorated. The city only began paying property taxes on the lot this year. “It’s a little incentive for us, if the the council decides to get rid of it,� added City Administrator Tony Chladek. “Someone else will be paying the property tax.� Taxes on bare land parcels are in the neighborhood of $800 per year for the city, according to City Clerk Kathy Zacher. Survey work will need to be done on the lot, prior to the completion of the sale. “There are a lot of easements around this thing that gobble up a lot of the three acres,� noted Chladek. This includes 40 feet on the east, 15 feet on the north, 10 feet on the west, and 10 feet on the south. A gravel/grass lane currently extends south from the end of the cul de sac, along the west side of the lot, and gravel Reservoir Road runs east/west near the south end of the lot. Zacher indicated the fire department wants the ability to get up the roads if needed. Councilor Terri Benson questioned whether an improved road could be put in either location. Zacher indicated the road from Enterprise Drive may be straightened

out or improved at some point, but improvements, if any, would be minor. Darr questioned any future assessments on the parcel if either road is improved noting they would be an unforeseen financial burden for Volkmans. Zacher added that the city is not anticipating improvements at this

time. As for the cost of the survey, Chladek suggested the buyer share the cost of a survey with the city, with the buyer’s portion not to exceed $1,000. Darr didn’t foresee issues with the city’s contingency See LOT SALE Page 11 

Fillmore County Sports Volleyball Preview The 2018 volleyball season starts with a switchero. Kingsland embarks on its inaugural season in the SEC. They join M-C, Houston, Lanesboro, and SG in the East division. The SEC has 11 teams. T h e i r deparThe Trende ture from Report the TRC makes it a 12 team league (again). The top returning county team, the only squad Paul Trende to bring home hardware last year (SEC East champs, 1A East Runner-Up), is MabelCanton. The Cougars (28-6) were one of only two FCJ covered squads to finish above five-hundred. Fillmore Central (20-8) was the other. Those two strong programs will look to stay that way. Kingsland (14-18), R-P (10-17), Houston (7-14), Chatfield (6-24), and Lanesboro (5-26) will look to improve. There is only one coaching change of the seven schools. For the first time since 2010, Lonnie Morken’s Mabel-Canton Cougars enter the season having not won 30 games the year prior. M-C “settled” for a “measly” 28-6 campaign in 2017. They aced the SEC (14-0) and made the 1A East title game, falling to rival, eventual Section Runner-Up, Caledonia 3-1 (22-25, 25-23, 22-25, 19-25). The Cougars lost their top two hitters in All-SEC picks Savannah Slafter (274 kills) and Dakota Delaney (317 kills). But that is all that departed. All-SEC picks Maddy Michels and Kenidi McCabe return to lead a troupe that won’t be tall (as usual), but is still the favorite in the SEC, and a 1A East c o n t e n d e r. Maddy Michels Michels (5’6” Sr. MH), a two-time All-SEC pick and fouryear starter, is the team’s top returning attacker (207 Kenidi kills). In her McCabe first full year at setter, McCabe (5’4” So.) registered 1,008 assists (second most in a season in M-C history), adding 227 digs and a team-high 62 aces. Seniors Lexi Thorson (5’5” OH) and Hannah Snell (5’4” DS) also return. Thorson had a team-high 301 digs with 57 aces. The fifthyear starter already has over 1,000 career digs and was All-SEC as a sophomore in 2016. Snell returns 203 digs. Down in the junior class, Payton Danielson (5’3” OH)

and Avery Davis (5’8” RH) are returning full-timers. Danielson (145 kills, 57 aces, 249 digs) played all the way around. Davis had 95 kills. M-C returns four girls who notched over 200 digs. They have four regulars back who served at plus-90%. Sarina Stortz (5’9” Jr. MH), Lauren Wyffels (5’3” So. setter), Jordyn Newgard (5’4” So. OH), and Kaylor Soiney (5’3” So. DS) got some action last season. There will be some offensive re-booting but, as has been the case the last few years, M-C has a couple good athletes every grade. They have three tourney’s (M-C Labor Day, Class A Showcase, Brainerd) on top of the SEC schedule. Fillmore Central took a shot at M-C last season. The teams hooked up in the 1A East semis, where the Falcons’ season ended. Travis Malley’s girls were felled by the Cougars 3-1 (25-23, 17-25, 12-25, 24-26). FC went 11-1 in the TRC, taking second place, only falling to Caledonia. They finished 20-8, giving the program its fifth 20-win season in the last seven years. Some good kids graduated, including the top two hitters, All-TRC picks Cailey Rindels (257 kills, 387 digs) and Kaelyn Marzolf (256 kills). FC returns two All-league selections in third-year players Paige Donlinger and Madison Scheevel. Stacked on top of one another, the duo is less than 11 feet tall. Their numbers last year were thus impresPaige sive. ScheevDonlinger el (5’5” Sr. setter) had 721 assists, 268 digs, 85 kills, and 35 aces (96% serving). The thirdyear player Madison is over 1,000 Scheevel career assists. Donlinger (5’3” Sr. OH), also in her third year, exploded on to the scene with 210 kills, 329 digs, and 45 aces. FC has seven total seniors. Charity Daniels (5’10” RH > 96 kills) and Katrina Bergey (5’2” DS > 122 digs) were in the mix last year. Daysha Erickson (5’5” DS), Maddy Bakken (5’3” DS), and foreign exchange student Stella Schrüfer (5’9” OH) round out the crew. The Falcons also return starting libero Kjerstiana (K.J.) Corson (5’4” So.), who had big freshman year defensively (319 digs). She was All-TRC HM. The Falcons don’t have a ton of size. They come out of the gate with perennial powers Hayfield and Stewartville, then Big 9 squad Rochester JM, then Caledonia, then the Apple Valley Invite. They have two other tour-

neys (W-K, Rochester Exchange) and their TRC schedule. Hoping to make waves this year in the SEC are the Kingsland Knights. Team double-K went 5-7 in the TRC last year, 14-18 overall. It was another good rebound after Knight volleyball struggled for a number of years preceding 2015 and 2016. Kingsland ended last year losing to Caledonia 3-0 in the 1A East quarters. They took the Warriors to five games in the team’s regular season match-up. Sam Hanley returns for his second season. And why wouldn’t he come back. The SEC should offer up a few more wins and he has a trio of girls all approaching milestones. Looking to go from one conference, to another, and still be the top hitter, looking for 1,000 career kills, is senior Lauren Buchholtz. The 5’8’ outside hitter had a huge junior campaign, amassing 448 kills, 190 digs, and 57 ½ blocks. She topped 20 kills in a match seven Lauren times. And Buchholtz the ball should get to her often. Sister Ellie Buchholtz (5’8” setter) is also back. The sophomore had 688 assists Ellie Buchholtz last year, but will set and hit this year. Both Buchholtzs were All-TRC. Adding back-line continuity is fourthyear starter Taylor Zimmerman (5’3” senior libero). Zimmerman has been busy the past three years, with 285, 187, and 317 digs. The Knights will have to find a “second” hitter, as Kori Kruegel graduated (216 kills). Nora Jahn (5’6” senior MH > 73 kills, 52.5 blocks) was the Knights third leading hitter last year. Zimmerman and Jahn were All-TRC Honorable Mention. Jenna Schmidt (setter/ DS), Hailey Westphal (MH) and Rachel Hansen (RH) round out a six-girl senior class. The Knights have three in-season tourneys (M-C, Apple Valley, Rochester Exchange) to go along with their SEC schedule. After a number of years of good volleyball, Rushford-Peterson fell back some a season ago. The Trojans went 4-8 in the TRC, 10-17 overall. Nikki Schultz’s group was bounced 3-0 by Kingsland in a 1A East play-in contest. Four key players graduated off last year’s team, including their only AllTRC pick, Olivia Hoff. The Trojans will try to rebound behind this year’s eight-girl senior group, a pack headed by a pair of AllTRC HM picks Lauren Lawston and Kjersta Hinz. Lawston (5’8” OH) was R-P’s best all-around player a year ago, leading the team with 177 kills, adding 251 digs. She was the only Trojan with 100-plus kills. The athletic Hinz

(5’11” MH) had 58 kills and 41 ½ blocks. Setter Peyton Hoiness (5’6” Sr.) returns to command the offense (386 assists, 143 digs). Kaitlyn Bieberdorf (5’7” Sr. OH > 76 kills) is a fourth returning full-timer. Alyvia Eide (5’4” So. DS), Alora Wilkemeyer (5’8” So. OH), Jaelyn Connaughty (5’5” Sr. setter), and Kaleah Davis (5’10” junior RH) played in 25-plus games in 2017. Julissa Trejo (5’4” DS), Cora Bauer (5’9” RH), and Megan Oian (5’8” DS) round out the seniors. Improved attacking will be a key. Seven Trojans had 100-plus attacks last year with none ‘killing’ over .100. The Trojans have two tourneys, M-C and W-K. They play home-and-home series with both Chatfield and L-A. They have six road games, two away tourneys, with only one home contest, to start the season. Also looking to move back towards winning volleyball is Chatfield. The Gophers went 3-9 in the TRC, 6-24 overall (lost 3-0 to Red Wing in the 1AA East quarters). Taylor Salisbury has the distinction of being the only new coach for an FCJ covered team. She inherits a squad that had no All-TRC picks in 2017. Two underclassmen, Abi Hinckley (5’3” So. DS) and Kielan LaPlante (5’10” Jr. MH), were All-TRC HM. The duo gives Chatfield a returning statistical leader in four categories. Hinckley led the Gophers in digs (309) and aces (37), LaPlante in kills (186) and blocks (30). Three other Gophers to record over 100 kills are back. Senior Belle Berg (5’8” OH > 106 kills, 234 digs) is a third-year player while Paige Erickson (5’9” So. MH > 129 kills) and Mollie Henry (5’8” So. OH > 121 kills) got experience as freshmen. Alanna Goetzinger (5’10” Sr. OH) is a third returning front-line player. Chatfield had 636 kills last season. Returning players accounted for 585. The Gophers have three tourneys (Century, W-K, Cannon Falls). They have home-and-home series with R-P and L-A. Coach Salisbury is one of three sisters to be named All-TRC in volleyball. Gabrielle and Sheridan each were covered by the FCJ sports. Houston volleyball went 4-9 in the SEC last year, 7-14 overall. The Hurricanes were bounced 3-1 by Lewiston-Altura in a 1A play-in contest. Returning coach Brianna Meyer’s top returnee is Ariel Scanlan (5’7” senior). A third-year player, Scanlan gives the ‘Canes stability at the setter position. She was team double-H’s All-SEC pick a year ago Ariel Scanlan (322 assists, 53 aces). Houston has five total seniors. Gretchen Hill (5’4” libero > 150 digs) and Alyssa Rostad (5’4” OH > 103 digs) are returning starters while Kate Thompson (5’8” DS) and Arianna Florin (5’7” DS) round out the group. Underclassmen Becca Rostad (5’6” So.

OH) and Jenny Albrecht (5’11” Jr. MH) are a couple other key returnees. Albrecht played as a frosh, but missed some of last year to injury. Houston has just the Cotter Tourney in addition to its SEC contests. Lanesboro volleyball had a tough year in 2017. The Burros, after a couple of strong seasons, went 1-12 in the SEC, 5-25 overall. They were bounced by Schaeffer Academy 3-0 in a 1A East play-in game. Julie Schreiber is back to coach. Her only All-SEC selection, daughter Joelie Schreiber, graduated. The Burros do return All-SEC HM selection Peighton Prestemon (5’4”), a senior libero. She is one of two seniors with returning starter Lexie Johnson (5’8” OH). Mady Haugen (5’10” Jr. MH), Payton Benson (5’6” Jr. OH), Ella Cambern (5’6” Fr. setter), Sydney Taylor (5’7” So. RH), and Malia Tessum (5’6” Fr. OH) are five more returnees with varsity experience. The Burros have tournaments in Mabel, Winona (Cotter), and Wabasha in conjunction with their SEC schedule.

Hot Shots

Four of five county volleyball squads to open the season on August 23 came out winners. Kingsland got 39 combined kills from the Buchholtz sisters in beating Schaeffer 3-1. Lauren had 25 (kills) and 18 (digs). Ellie had a triple-double-plus (14 kills, 12 assists, 15 digs, 6 aces). Madison Scheevel had 32 assists and 18 digs, K.J. Corson 22 digs, as the FC beat Hayfield 3-1. M-C swept L-O, as six Cougars had five or more kills. Houston swept L/P, ending a four-match losing streak to the Athletics. The previous five meetings all also went at least four sets.

C ommentary What are political parties good for? Plenty, actually Minnesota counties receive source of powerful change in on occasion. Yet I’ve never felt $35.7 million in PILT payments By Lee Hamilton If you take a dim view of our our history. political parties, you’re in sterling company. So did George Washington. In his famous Farewell Address, he warned us against “the baneful effects of the spirit of [political] party.” A political party, he wrote, “agitates the community with illfounded jealousies and Lee H. false alarms, Hamilton kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption...” It’s safe to say he was not a fan. So it’s with some trepidation that I want to speak up in favor of political parties. For well over 165 years, they have played a key role in our representative government. They are the best stage I know for broad economic, political, and social change. It’s hard for me to imagine a democracy without them. This is in part because we live in a very different country from the one George Washington led. The United States today is not just geographically bigger, but immeasurably larger in both population and diversity. And that’s where our two great parties, for the most part, have excelled: they accommodate different interests, opinions, and views. Our system does not have enough consensus-building mechanisms; the parties are crucial to this. Strong political parties that can unite groups with different interests have been a Editorial Cartoon

Of course, more than building consensus within a party is needed. Even though the American people prefer bipartisanship, the parties too often prefer to lambast each other. But legislation passed on a party line vote rarely stands the test of time. To work properly, our system needs a broader consensus — and party-line votes do not provide it. The really effective legislation in our history — Social Security and Medicare, for instance — was passed with solid, bipartisan support. Our parties also play a lubricating role in the mechanisms of democracy. They get out the vote and educate voters. They teach many thousands of ordinary Americans what the nuts and bolts of democratic participation look like. They choose, train, and promote candidates who are (for the most part) worthy of holding public office. They play an important role in funding elections, financing the system, and giving candidates a platform. In short, they’re a personnel system for government office. To be sure, Americans divide rather sharply on their support of political parties — not just on which they support, but on whether to support them at all. Many avoid identification with them. Others become ardent loyalists. Still others follow them regularly, but not slavishly. At the moment, more people define themselves as independent than as a member of one or the other party, but the two parties together still command a majority of the electorate. I am a member of a party, and have certainly been disappointed in its performance

that my disappointment was grounds for abandoning the party. Nor, on the other hand, have I ever felt that my loyalty was grounds for despising the other party. I cringe when I hear a member of either party express hatred or accuse the other party of disloyalty. Both parties are patriotic, both want the best for their country — even if they have different ideas about what “best” means. That’s part of the democratic dialogue, after all. That’s why I also get uncomfortable with unswerving loyalty to any political party. I think political parties have to earn our loyalty by their performance. And in particular, by their ability to move the nation forward legislatively. George Washington was right, of course, in pointing out some of the risks of people joining together to form organized parties. But he didn’t fully recognize their role as consensus-builders — their concern with transcending differences and political factionalism and arriving at stances designed to appeal to political majorities both in elections and in legislatures. The most successful party officials I know have made consensus-building a priority, both within their own parties and across partisan lines. In a country as diverse and divided as ours, that’s not a baneful effect at all. Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar, IU School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice, IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Counties collect Payment in Lieu of Taxes for state-owned land not subject to property tax

Minnesota’s 87 counties are the beneficiaries of $35.7 million in aid that helps support public lands and provides a critical link in the state’s public recreation system, according to the Department of Natural Resources.

Annual payments for Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT), a property tax relief program that offsets revenues not collected on public lands, recently were distributed by the state’s Department of Revenue. Counties have received PILT payments annually since 1979 in place of property taxes on 5.6 million acres of state-managed lands and 2.8 million acres of county-managed taxforfeited lands. Dollars for the payments come from the state’s general fund. For fiscal year 2017 the DNR, primarily the Divisions of Forestry, Fish and Wildlife and Parks and Trails, paid $462,702.40 to Fillmore County for 17,004.46 acres. This is an average of $27.21/ acre for predominately forested land. For further information and frequently asked questions regarding PILT statewide go to this website: https://www. dnr.state.mn.us/aboutdnr/legislativeinfo/pilt/index.html.

C ommentary One Moment, Please... Dirty jobs

By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com Some of you may remember the TV show named Dirty Jobs starring host Mike Rowe. From 2005 to 2012, Rowe would tag along with people who had the dirtiest jobs Jason Sethre in America. He was outstanding at capturing the essence of a job in the most graphic of details, helping viewers appreciate all of the jobs that came with disgusting smells and physically demanding conditions. As I meander about the county, I learn so much from so many people. There are quite a few employers in our rural communities struggling to find people who know how or want to work with their hands. Nobody wants to get dirt under the fingernails anymore. Our society is guiding youth in the direction of working with computers, solely. Many schools have eliminated shop classes. Starting in seventh grade, I recall taking classes for woodworking, electrical, and metals. Spot welding, wiring, using drills and saws, I learned it all. And, then we had home economics classes, so I learned how to sew a pillow and a jacket, while also learning how to bake food like apple crisp.

Surprisingly, while I wasn’t crazy about the home economics classes, that experience has unexpectedly come in handy throughout my life. I just don’t care to brag too much about my fabulous sewing skills, if you know what I mean. We need more construction workers, electricians, plumbers, mechanics, and farmhands — just to name a few. We are reaching a point at which there is more work to be done than there are tradesmen to get the job done. And, while many of us think we are getting smarter because we have all of this technology at our fingertips, such as a smartphone, I would argue that we are actually getting dumber. There are some people who will call an electrician because they don’t know how to change a light bulb. Well, either they don’t know how, or they are too lazy to figure it out. Nonetheless, they are paying a professional to do something that is ridiculously easy. We have so many people who don’t know how to use a hammer or screwdriver. Adding to the challenge is the changing dynamic of the family farm. In years past, kids growing up on farms learned how to fix and build things with their hands. They passed that knowledge onto their children. With fewer farms and smaller farm families, we are steadily losing ground with the next generations. Today, with the absence of shop classes in schools, if your father was inept to the trades then you will most likely carry on his lack of knowledge. I recently heard a comedian talking about time travel. He said if he was sent back in time to the early 1900s, he could tell everyone about all of the incredible things that exist today, but he couldn’t tell anybody how it works. He concluded, “I have no idea how any of this stuff works. I’d be completely useless if I went back in time.â€? If you know of any young people contemplating a career path after high school, you may want to encourage them to go to a technical school to learn the trades. According to what I am hearing from local employers, the opportunities are abound. Low-income Telephone & Internet Assistance Do you qualify?

What to expect from Extension when calling about weed control options By Michael Cruse Extension Educator Fillmore and Houston Counties Controlling weeds – especially ones with invasive properties – is challenging. Part of my job is to help people make decisions related to weed control. Michael Cruse Here are some things you can expect when calling the Extension office looking for advice. • There is often no silver bullet to control the weeds we have today. Complete control takes time and work. And you will often need to use multiple approaches over several years. • The Extension office will not provide a magic formula for mixing chemicals for weed control. The only spot to find legal mixing options is on the label of the product you are using. • Suggestions of weed control methods from the Extension will include a range of options, for example cultivation/hand pulling, burning, crop rotations and chemical weed control. Extension is not biased for or against any specific method. My job is to educate the public about the inevitable tradeoffs that come with decisions on weed control. For example, how do we effectively control weeds while at the same time maintain and promote environmental stewardship? Here are some common suggestions I give — which often receive skeptical replies — and why I give them. Sometimes pulling weeds is the best option Manual removal of weeds — whether by mechanical cultivation, with a hoe or by hand — is time consuming, tough work. But certain circumstances make this approach preferable over others. Consider the following example. Wild cucumber has exploded this year. This vine grows on fence lines and windbreaks and has a pretty, vertically presented white flower. Wild cucumber is considered a native to North America but for many it is less than desirable to have growing on your property. On a small scale — e.g. in the windbreak on your home property — my suggestion is to pull whatever you can reach off your trees and pull the shallow roots out of the ground. People often laugh at me when I say this but consider the alternatives. Wild cucumber can be controlled using products like dicamba and gly-

phosate. But if these products touch vulnerable plants underneath the vine they have the potential to kill those plants as well. Some herbicides can even leach into the soil and be taken up by roots so it is a challenge to use herbicides underneath trees as well. Manual removal of wild cucumber might not be feasible at the large scale but it is certainly preferred when we want to save the vegetation underneath the vine. Spray weeds when they are small How small is small? Chemical weed control is typically most effective when weeds are two to six inches tall. Weeds become increasingly tolerant to herbicide applications the larger they get. This year was a prime example of how a wet spring can make spraying during that two to six inch window very difficult. Take giant ragweed for example. Giant ragweed is a common weed that is present in rural and urban settings all across the United States. Take a look down waterways, along fence lines and in unmown areas and you will see this plant. Giant ragweed has large leaves — upwards of 12 inches long and eight inches wide – with three to five lobes. It can be upwards of 12 feet tall and is a major source of highly allergenic pollen. This plant is often a problem in soybean fields when producers are unable to make a timely herbicide application. Producers then have to come back in with something aggressive — which may also hurt their crop — to try to control the larger ragweed plants. And there is no guarantee in this approach. After a chemical application like this ragweed will often look brown and dead but within a week or two can green back up and still produce viable seed. Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there Why is my office receiving so many calls about wild cucumber this year? Because their white flowers are very noticeable while going 60 mph down the road. But what weed do we not see this year or at least not as much of as in previous years? Wild parsnip. Last year wild parsnip covered the countryside in its yellow flowers but this year the visible population was significantly reduced. So do we still need to be concerned with wild parsnip? Yes. Wild parsnip is a particularly nasty weed. It is highly invasive and can cause significant skin damage to humans and livestock. It is rather easy to

identify when in bloom due to its yellow flowers. But as a biennial, it actually has two growth forms: a rosette and a flowering stage. The rosette grows close to the ground and can be very difficult to see in fully grown ditches and pastures. So just because we do not see it does not mean wild parsnip is not there. And if it is there we should still plan to control it this fall. We at the Extension office are more than happy to help you with your weed questions. But do not call us expecting easy, one time solutions. Be prepared to answer questions. Where is the weed growing? What other plants are in the area? Do you plan on harvesting any sort of crop or forage from that area? Answers to questions like this aid in the identification of the weed species and allow for better suggestions for removal and control.

MORATORIUM Continued from Page 1

will look into issues that lead to conflicts between owners of feedlots and of non-farm dwellings in agricultural areas. The township may decide to adopt a comprehensive plan and impose zoning regulations stricter than those within the county ordinance. The interim moratorium became an option for many who were concerned about the possible environmental damage they felt may result from the construction and operation of a large hog facility in the township about 10 miles east of Harmony. The proposed 4,980 hog farrowing facility, Catalpa LLC, is to be located on majority shareholders Al and Merilee Hein’s property. It is to be managed by Waukon Feed Ranch and the sows are to be owned by Holden Farms of Northfield. The concrete reinforced pit to be located under two barns would hold 8.9 million gallons of manure to be injected in the fall on at least 732 acres of cropland. The application of an expected 7.3 million gallons of manure each year in an area with karst geology has driven much of the controversy. The two-hour public hearing was guided by attorney Troy Gilcrest, who practices town and municipal law. At an August 2 township meeting a draft interim ordinance was presented. The attorney explained Minnesota Statutes give the township the authority to impose a temporary moratorium. Prior to the August 2 meeting, a lawsuit was filed by Al and Merilee Hein, owners of the proposed site of the farrowing facility, against the township,

Monday, September 3, 2018

the township board and chair Oswald Landsom and supervisor Mark Gjere. The lawsuit asked for the postponement of the meeting, during which language for a moratorium was to be introduced. The board members were accused of open meeting violations. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has been considering whether a more comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be required for the proposed farrowing facility before a permit is issued. An especially large number of written comments have been submitted to the MPCA during the comment period. A declaration from MPCA is expected in the coming weeks. Public Hearing More than 20 people spoke during the public hearing, most in favor of the moratorium which will impose temporary restrictions. Many wore “I support Local Control in Newburg Township� stickers. Issues of concern included the risk of air and ground water pollution and road damage. Lester Erickson, Newburg Township, supported a year long study due to the many caves and wells in the area. He seemed incensed by the lawsuit. Bart Seebach, Newburg Township farm land owner and attorney, admitted it was reasonable to expect more feedlots. Good people have swine operations, but they are not family run like it use to be. It is appropriate to do a study and impose reasonable restrictions. Pastor Pam Seebach added that their well is near a field where the manure is to be applied. The church well is vulnerable to nitrates. We should take the time we need to collect all the

information before making a decision on a facility of this size; she supports the moratorium. Irene and Glen Fishburn recently retired to Newburg and she opened a bakery. She was concerned about water quality. Michelle Hockersmith, Preble Township, wants time to make ourselves more knowledgeable. She expressed her support of “local control.� The size of the proposed facility concerned her; her biggest concern is water. Gayle Stortz expressed strong support for the moratorium. She and her husband Lawrence live one mile away from the proposed site. Her concerns were air quality and water quality and quantity. Their water from their well already has high nitrates. Minneapolis attorney Jack Perry is legal counsel for Al and Merilee Hein. He maintained that ERI (electrical resistivity imaging) has been done which can locate/identify karst, bedrock features, voids, etc. He added that manure management plans have been made and insurance protections are in place ($1 million policy naming insured as Newburg Township). There are plans to protect the roadway, to protect groundwater, and to indemnify the township if they get sued. The protections run with the land. He added it is correct to want control, but insisted a moratorium is not the only way to get control. He offered a settlement agreement which he maintained would make Catalpa the most regulated feedlot in Minnesota. Al Hein insisted the project has not had enough explanation, adding information should have been put out to the public earlier. He suggested a full explanation will show how environmentally friendly Catalpa is. He argued that hog manure is organic in nature and higher in nutrients than chemical fertilizers. Brad Herman, general manager Waukon Feed Ranch, said he is a property owner in Newburg Township. He asked the board and the crowd to look at zoning long term and the negative effect on the tax base if the facility is not allowed. There will be higher taxes without growth. He asked that the project be allowed to go forward with restrictions. Loni Kemp, Canton Township, lives two miles from the site. She hopes her township also will develop appropriate zoning regulations. Her concerns were that concentrated feedlots are a threat to private wells, streams, water quality, and destructive to our communities. She wants an open public process so we can have the kind of agriculture that can co-exist with our communities. Dayna Burtness said she supports the township officers and referred to the lawsuit as outrageous. C. J. Robinson, Norway Township, commended the supervisors for being well informed. He asked those invested in the facility why they don’t voluntarily do an EIS if the facility will be so environmentally friendly. He

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. said $1 million will not fix the aquifer once it is contaminated. Veterinarian Ross Kiehne, Harmony Township, said he was a fan of pork production and has been a swine vet for 19 years. He is not worried about his health and his house is near his brother’s hog facility. Larry Rogich, Newburg Township, complained of road damage due to manure transport from a dairy farm. Manure runs near his house attracting flies and sloshes off tanks into a sinkhole. Dan Dyrstra, Waukon Feed Ranch, noted there were a lot of changes in the hog industry in the ‘90s. He had an opportunity to come back to the area where he was raised north of Decorah because of these kind of operators. He maintained tourism is growing and co-existing with large farms. Cathy Newman, Preble Township, explained one of the fields where the manure is to be applied is about 100 feet from her well. She has been involved with raising hogs most of her life. She referred to Al Hein as an excellent neighbor, adding she has no problem with manure applications to the ground around us, as it is preferable to chemical fertilizers. She asked the board to read the settlement that has been offered. Bonnie Haugen, Canton Township, maintained the moratorium makes sense. It will give them time to set parameters and it is healthy to think about a cap, a limit on size. Andy Sollien, Mabel, was against the lawsuit. He asked those who were for the moratorium to stand; he told them we are proud of where we live. Township Board discussion Supervisor Steve Melbostad asked what this moratorium cost the township in the future. Where will the money come from? When will the study committee meet, how many members, volunteer or paid, and will they meet with the board or on their own schedule? He said he was perplexed; it is a lot to handle in a short amount of time. Gilcrest said there will be legal

costs for his services, publication costs, and enforcement will be a significant cost as with any ordinance. The study group should be volunteers, unpaid. If the board gets involved in planning and zoning there will be some cost in developing and adopting an ordinance. There will be some cost for administration, permitting. The committee will be appointed by the board, follow open meeting law, and have scheduled public meetings. They should keep minutes and report back to the township board. There should be more than one point of view represented on the committee, so the board hears more than one perspective. Melbostad commented that the township board gave up the right to regulate years ago, passing that to the county level. The county has personnel that does a good job. This will be a large undertaking for this board to handle. Gilcrest noted he had received an email suggesting the interim ordinance restrict new feedlots to 300 animal units and that it not include a restriction on new non-farm dwellings. Supervisor Mark Gjere stated there is nothing wrong with confined feedlots. We have to look at how we want our community to develop, the reason for residential restriction. Some townships restrict non-farm dwellings to preserve agricultural land. He recommended keeping both restrictions: for the size of feedlots and new nonfarm dwellings. Gjere said we don’t have much choice, after having listened to the people tonight. He moved to adopt the interim ordinance authorizing a study of planning and zoning and imposing a moratorium on feedlots and non-farm dwellings. The motion passed. A motion to adopt a resolution summarizing the interim ordinance for publication was approved. The moratorium will be in place 12 months and may result in the creation of a township zoning ordinance that is more restrictive than the Fillmore County ordinance.

and anticipated a closing date of October 11. In other news, Chladek indicated a recent meeting between himself and representatives from seven Fillmore County libraries was highly productive. The group is pushing the county for funding equalization. Recently, Southeastern Libraries Cooperating (SELCO) reviewed a number of pieces of historical data, as well as current circulation figures, in hopes of bolstering their cause. According to the data, typically the cities of Chatfield, Harmony, Lanesboro, Mabel, Preston, Rushford, and Spring Valley fund their libraries at 70%, while the county adds the remaining 30%. However, data indicates that just 60% of usage is by city residents, while 40% is non-city, county users. Library and city representatives met again Tuesday, August 28, with district Fillmore County Commissioners in hopes of making a positive adjustment recommendation to the county. Chladek noted at the August 27 council meeting that if the meeting was unsuccessful in achieving some push for change, library and city representative from all seven cities would join together to attend the upcoming County Commission meeting and request a place on the meeting agenda. “SELCO finishing up a threeyear contract. This is the time to make a change,� noted Chladek. “We’re recommending they take

the next six years and start closing this gap. We’re not asking them to do it all at once, but it will mean they’ll have to dramatically increase their funding level year to year. It’s time for a change. That’s the message.� Another recent meeting between the committee for Rushford-Peterson School facilities saw progress with a prospective buyer for the former elementary and high school facilities in Rushford. While the City of Rushford had begun to prepare a Plan B for the site, it’s temporarily on hold as the process with the prospective buyer moves forward. “We need to carry through the process,� said Chladek. “The next meeting is September 12. We’ll see where we are then and keep you posted.� Freshly added sidewalks along Pine Meadows drive, from Highway 43 to the new school site are nearly complete and should be so prior to the start of the school year. Approved by Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), the sidewalks provide a much-needed safe access for students. MnDOT has also approved the moving off crossing signs from the former facilities to the new crossing area, as well as new crosswalk striping. The department has suggested having assistance from volunteer crossing guards, coordinated by the school, would also be helpful. The Lions Club is currently discussing assisting in this role. Additionally, the speed in the area may be dropped from 35 miles per hour to 20 miles per hour when children are present.

Monday, September 3, 2018 “The school really took the initiative on that. Things really came together very nicely,� added Chladek. “This will also leverage possibilities with MnDOT in the future.� The council has also approved new language to Revolving Loan Fund guidelines, per Economic Development Authority recommendation. The change will add potential public use of revolving loan funds, strictly for economic development. “It’s a big thing,� noted Councilor Terri Benson. “This is about growth and development. It’s very clear and concise about what it can be used for.� Any approved use of the funds will also require a public hearing, according to the new language, something not currently done with other fund usage. “It’s not the same restriction of dollars. It gives you more transparency,� clarified Zacher. “It just gives us one more tool in the event something comes up,� added Benson.�It puts the tool in place in case there’s an opportunity.� A number of upcoming events for the city are currently planned and approaching soon. They include a Civil War presentation, put on jointly by the Lions Club and the Rushford Public Library Board, Root River Jams, and Taste of the Trail. The public is encouraged to watch for further details of the events. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Monday, September 10, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Chatfield City Council approves bond bid for swimming pool By Mary L. Allen The Chatfield City Council held a regular council meeting on August 27, 2018. Members present were councilors Pam Bluhm, John McBroom, Mike Urban, and Paul Novotny, along with Mayor Russell Smith, City Clerk Joel Young, and Deputy City Clerk Beth Carlson. Councilor Josh Broadwater was absent. Under the consent agenda, the minutes of the prior meeting were approved, along with the payment of claims and a request to close Fillmore Street the morning of September 9 from Third Street to Fourth Street for the kick off of the Chatfield Lutheran Church’s fall ministry. This would allow for the safety of the children involved. They also approved the approval of the WIT Boyz Loan Subordination contingent on the EDA successfully obtaining more information about the loan to value ratio of the WIT Boyz loan and making sure it still falls into the necessary parameters. Mike Bubany of David Drown Associates came before the council to share the result of the bids for the swimming pool bonds. He also stated that the Chatfield should be proud of their excellent credit rating and gave examples of their sound practices and gave them ideas

on how to become even stronger. Seven bids were submitted, which he said was very good. The low bid was given by Piper Jaffray. The council voted to approve the low bidder, Piper Jaffray. Kristi Clarke, consultant planner, brought forth three zoning issues for the council to approve. One was a zoning amendment that would allow garages for personal storage (not commercial storage) in the Rural Residential Zoning District that would fit within the existing uses of the RR Zone. The second issue concerned the Mixed Use Development amendment. Chatfield has approximately 14.04 acres designated as mixed use land. Mixed use land is that which can include a mixture of commercial and higher density residential. By establishing a mixed use zoning district property, owners are allowed more flexibility in developing their properties. The third zoning issue was about miniature domestic pigs being added to the animal ordinance. The zoning committee saw no concerns with this as they are considered a service animal and are largely considered an indoor animal. Owners must request a zoning certificate if not in a rural residential zoning district and

the pig may not exceed 22 inches in height. The council approved all three amendments and they will be given to Fred Suhler, city attorney, to redraft the edits into “city code.� Curt Sorenson came before the council with a proposal from the Chatfield City Charter Commission to change the council-manager form of governance to a city administrator position. The proposal is intended to separate the city’s legislative function from its administrative functions. The council approved the proposal to amend the City Charter of the City of Chatfield and scheduled a public hearing for Monday, September 24, 2018, at 7 p.m. to hear public comment regarding the proposal. Superintendent of City Services, Brian Burkholder, recommended Allan Roofing to replace the shop/fire hall roof and to reroof the stairway of the Thurber Building on the Fillmore Street side for a total of $33,875.00. This cost comes with a 15-year warranty. This was approved. He stated that the field day at the site of the planting of Kernza went very well and asked for approval to sell the three acres of the harvested crop for $200 an acre. See SWIMMING POOL Page 18 

Spring Valley pool repair discussed By Rich Wicks The Spring Valley City Council held a regular council meeting on August 27. All members were present (Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Mayor Jim Struzyk, Jessy Betts, Mike Hadland and city administrator Deb Zimmer). John Fenske, Parks director, spoke to the council about the leak in the swimming pool. He said the general location of the leak has been detected, and it’s on the “pavilion side� of the pool. Now that the pool season is over, he asked the council for direction regarding the repair work to be done, and when it should be done (this fall versus in the spring). Zimmer pointed out that in the spring of 2019, school will end sooner than usual, so the window of opportunity for pool repairs in the spring is somewhat narrow. Todd Jones spoke in favor of having the repairs done this fall. The council did not yet make a formal decision. Fenske will collect more information to bring to the next council meeting. Preliminary 2019 budget review was a main topic on the agenda. Zimmer pointed out that, “This is a very, very, very rough draft,� and she said the preliminary approval will be sought in September. Zimmer gave a summary of several of the larger changes from the 2018 budget, and explained the reasons for the changes. She said some new equipment is needed for the Streets department. Zimmer also said she expects an increase in the city’s expenditure for service from the county sheriff’s department, but she does not yet know any specific information about such an increase. She also mentioned a few items expected to be paid out of the capital funds, including a squad car and roofing at city hall. Zimmer also shared information and a spreadsheet on the levy analysis for the past six years, as well as projections for next year. Sue Puffer gave an update on the ambulance service, and said

they are expecting their new truck in the next six to eight weeks. Jessy Betts said he’s received complaints from citizens about woodchucks in city, so the city will look into getting traps set for them. He also said the city still needs to set a fee schedule related to the new ATV ordinance. John DeGeorge addressed the council regarding his candidacy for Sheriff of Fillmore County. He was accompanied by his campaign manager, Tony Weber. DeGeorge described his background, experience and the philosophy that he hopes to bring to the position. DeGeorge said open communication between the sheriff’s department and cities/citizens is one of his top priorities if elected, and he asked for feedback regarding anything about which the public has questions or concerns. No other citizens had signed up to address the council. Mayor Struzyk said, “Our EDA was looking at putting green space downtown, where the (Johnny Ringo bar) fire was. The VFW is kind of upset because they’re thinking of possibly building a building there.� He said he feels it would be unwise to spend money on a green space that would likely soon be removed. Deputy Rasmussen and Sheriff Kaase submitted a written report on sheriff’s department activity for Spring Valley for the month of July. The report showed 60 totals calls for the month, including 14 times that the officers assisted with the ambulance or fire department or another law enforcement crew, as well as a wide variety of calls, such as theft, property damage, stray dogs, stranded motorists, vehicle crashes, harassment, and scams. The meeting adjourned at 6:40 p.m. The next regular meeting of the council will be Monday, September 10 at 6 p.m. As always, the public is welcome.

We respect and applaud your commitment to serving Preston-area veterans and families, maintaining your cemetery to the highest standards, and providing great customer service to everyone that visits.” “I greatly appreciate it,” stated Gross, saying, “it’s truly an honor” to receive the certificate of recognition. “It’s a very heartfelt location up here, both based on what we do but also I think based on everyone’s reasons for being here and being a part of this,” commented Gross. “We wanted to come and we wanted to thank the supervisor and all of the team members here for your commitment to our veterans, but also for your generosity and hospitality in opening up this beautiful, beautiful cemetery to be a part of the story that we are telling across the nation about how our veterans are served,” noted Reeves. “My team came here to shoot the video that we did to be able to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the State Veterans Cemetery Program, but as soon as I saw that and as soon as I got the word back on the outpouring here, because I was going to be in the state, there was no

way that I would not have come to Preston and there is no way I would not have been here to recognize this cemetery and its staff and to also recognize and thank this entire community,” explained Reeves. “The film crew that came out did a great job, but the reason that video turned out so well is because of the people and the sincerity of those of you that are here serving veterans every day,” stated Reeves. “When I was invited to come to the Preston cemetery I was very excited to meet you all and see all the great things you are doing for our veterans and their families,” stated Powers. “It’s a really important mission taking care of our veterans and their families at a very difficult time,” noted Powers. Powers expressed to the staff at the veterans cemetery, “On behalf of the Secretary, we want to thank you guys for all you do,” and adding, “it’s a noble mission and I’m sure it’s not easy,” she said. Powers, who grew up in Prior Lake, Minn., told the veterans cemetery staff, “It’s good to be here, I look forward to learning more about what you do.” Reeves complimented Davids for his vital role in getting the veterans cemetery to Preston. “To me, there are two kinds of heroes; there are veterans and there are those who serve vet-

erans - thank you for being the hero in this community and to our veterans for putting the priority in the state house to make sure that this is here,” Reeves said to Davids. Davids is also on the Veterans Affairs Committee so it is clear how important veterans are to the state representative. “The State Cemetery Program and the State Veterans Home Program are the most successful state and federal partnerships across the entire federal government,” pointed out Reeves. “The two programs are things we can use as the models to push us forward to do all of those other things more and better together,” he said. Powers agreed, saying, “One of the things that is important to the Secretary is community and state partnerships,” as she elaborated, “there is so much more we can do on that end across the spectrum of supporting veterans,” including suicide prevention, homelessness, getting veterans employed and more. “Minnesota is a very veteran friendly state,” commented Lindsay, which is easily evident when meeting and talking with local residents. “Without the commissioner and many, many people like him our success would not have happened - we have been able to do a lot in conjunction with the VA,” expressed Reeves. “I want to compliment the commissioner and his folks for the wonderful job that they do,” stated Davids. Pike agreed as he also thanked Lindsay for all they do for our veterans. Gross thanked everyone for their support including the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs saying, “MDVA has been nothing but supportive to us in our endeavors.” He also noted that political involvement was crucial as he explained, “We couldn’t have done it without support from the legislation – plain and simple,” and also recognized the Preston/Harmony Memorial Rifle Squad, Patriot Guard and P.O.W. riders and the community for their commitment to veterans and their families. Following the presentation of the certificate of recognition, the officials received a tour of the veterans cemetery from Gross. Reeves, above all, wants to thank veterans. “Thank you for your service. Thank you for being that special 1% that serves our nation so that we can all be free each and every day. The fabric, really, of America, is each and every one of those veterans who goes and serves and then some day comes back to their community and serves their community and their nation for the rest of their lives built upon the foundation that they received during their military service,” he said.

Fillmore Central teachers prep for new school year By Hannah Wingert The Fillmore Central school board reviewed the preliminary enrollment numbers for K-6 at their August 28 meeting. Currently, there are 48 students signed up for the kindergarten class, 32 for first grade, 50 for second grade, 65 for third grade, 45 for fourth grade, 48 for fifth grade, and 59 for sixth grade for a total of 346 students. At this same time last year, 351 students were enrolled. High school principal Heath Olstad gave the report for Dean of Students Chris Mensink and noted that the numbers are not yet set in stone as there is still some movement among students, but he was happy with where they are currently. “We have some very strong numbers,” he said. Olstad also presented the numbers for fall sports. There are 62 participants in football, 60 in volleyball, 18 in cross-country, and 15 in cheerleading. “A few years ago, we didn’t have crosscountry, and now we have 18 participants,” he said, pointing out that the sports program has been a success. A memorandum of understanding with the teachers’ association was passed by the board allowing one experienced teacher to train the new seven new elementary teachers on how to use the Action 100 program within their classrooms. Another MOU was approved to allow scheduling high school communications teacher Joni Mehus for no prep for one quarter and double prep for another. Resignations were accepted and approved from elementary teachers Pam Jackson and Tris Tollefson, and custodian Matthew Gregg. A resignation effective on December 31 from Technology Director Neil Lundgren was also accepted with the board’s gratitude for his years of service and work bringing the school up to date with technology. “He’s done a lot for us,” board member Jim Love stated. Angie Kennedy was hired as a sixth grade teacher, Sheila Goetzke as a second grade teacher, Connie Lindstrom as a resource teacher for the elementary school, and Joanie Johnson as a long-term substitute for Karn Friedges. Sallie Merritt was hired as a part-time infant room teacher’s aide in the daycare. Kelsey Woellert was approved as the seventh grade volleyball coach. Art teacher Carrie Mathison was approved to teach independent study art courses to two high school students. The activity sponsors list

for 2018-19 was reviewed and approved. SADD is the only organization that does not have an advisor yet, but Principal Olstad was confident that one would be found soon. The non-certified staff for the upcoming school year was also approved. An open enrollment request was approved for a former student who now lives in the Chatfield school district, but would like to continue attending Fillmore Central. The board discussed options for the 24 60-year-old fluorescent light fixtures in the high school shop room. The fixtures are obsolete, and the bulbs and ballasts for them are no longer available anywhere. The only options are to replace them with new LED fixtures or to retrofit the existing fixtures to accommodate LED bulbs. Superintendent Keith presented several quotes from Morem Electric and Haakenson Electric. The cost for retrofitting would be considerably lower than replacing the fixtures completely. Board member Jim Love also pointed out that the project costs would be worth it over time as LED lights use less electricity and require less maintenance than fluorescent ones. The quote from Haakenson Electric in the amount of $2,900 to retrofit the fixtures was approved by the board. A placement agreement with St. Mary’s University allowing the university the option of placing students from their teacher education program at Fillmore Central was approved. The Truth in Taxation meeting was scheduled for December 18 at 6:01 p.m. with the regular school board meeting immediately following. The next Fillmore Central school board meeting will be held on September 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the elementary meeting room.

County courthouse security system By Karen Reisner Language which will become the Fillmore County Court Security Screening Policy was discussed at the board’s August 28 meeting. The policy is being modeled off of Dodge County’s policy. The policy states “weapons and prohibited items are not allowed in areas designated for court procedures and activities.” Commissioner Randy Dahl raised questions about the policy. Licensed on duty law enforcement officers and those with official business will be able to bypass the screening. Sheriff Tom Kaase noted that employees that come early

(prior to 8 a.m.) or after work hours (4:30 p.m.) will not be screened. Dahl said they should come during established hours. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman maintained that a lot of us come in on weekends to finish work. Screening will be ongoing Monday through Friday during regular county business hours and after hours while the judge remains on the bench. The policy states, “All persons entering area for court procedures and/or county business where there is a metal detector present will be directed to empty their pockets, remove or identify any and all objects that may be on their person.”

“Authorized personnel will be allowed to bypass the screening area by displaying proper credentials...” Commissioner Duane Bakke insisted the security system is designed to improve security. If court is in session, there should be an officer there all the time. If screening is done most of the time, it is better than before when there was no screening and better than the security that most counties have in the state. Dahl noted everyone will be screened when going to court. Now the public will only be allowed to enter the building through the main entrance to the lobby. Employees will be able to come in either lobby entrance. No other doors will be used to enter the courthouse. Judge Matt Opat issued a standing order in a letter dated May 8, 2017. The letter prohibits dangerous weapons within the Fillmore County Courthouse complex. His order does not apply to licensed peace officers or federally-authorized law enforcement agents when in the courthouse on official duty. Sheriff Kaase received approval for a work contract between STS (Sentence to Serve) and Forestville State Park. The contract is similar to past con-

tracts. He said there is $3,000 available for work to be done this fall. The board gave approval to sell stripped down sheriff department vehicles (being rotated out) through the Wisconsin auction. Kaase said the auction looked to be the best option for the sale of the vehicles. The installation of new stools

Other business in brief • The Public Service Committee reported that Sue Kester has several recommendations for new EMTs. She is also suggesting that it would be appropriate to consider finding accommodations within Thurber for EMTs who need a spot to stay while on call. Ryan Priebe reported to the committee that the fire department is recommending the purchase of a UTV (Utility Task/Terrain Vehicle) for the

department for rescues on the trails and for wildland fires. The department has money available in their capital goods plan. He also said the tanker has come back from getting the wrap on and should be ready soon. • John McBroom of the Park and Recreation Committee said their committee had had discussions about what the hours of the pool should be and what the closure rules should be. • City Clerk Joel Young discussed that the Rochester Area Harley Owners have a motorcycle ride each year and donate proceeds of that ride to local First Responders agencies. This year they have plans to hold registration for the event in Chatfield on September 8 from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and donate the proceeds to our ambulance service. The ambulance service will provide a free-will breakfast for the group at the Chatfield ambulance building that will be also be open to the public. A resident who lives near the elementary school has expressed safety concerns because of lack of signage (speed limit and school zone). These issues will be reviewed by staff. A property within Chatfield has been declared a public nuisance and Young asked and received approval of the board for flexibility to work on resolving this issue.

under her department and the auditor/treasurer department. County Engineer Ron Gregg detailed items in the Highway Budget which is divided into four separate accounts. Funds are being set aside for the Chatfield Shop. He reported that approximately $700,000 per year is being raised through the Local Option Sales Tax for local road improvements. Pam Schroeder, highway/airport office manager, reported on the Airport budget. She noted routine maintenance costs are about the same. Marty Walsh, EDA director, asked for funding in the EDA budget to pay for a housing study (last one published in 2008). The study will cost $20,000. He argued that it is not cost effective for cities to each do an independent study. Some other sources could pay a portion of the cost of a housing study. The county is also looking at having to do an overdue updating of its Comprehen-

Bakke suggested the comprehensive plan should wait until after the upcoming census. Vickerman will have a rough levy draft prepared in the next few days. County Program Aid will increase for 2019, up to $777,764. A separate departmental budget will be created for Courthouse Security.

On or about August 16, the defendant’s allegedly broke into, or tried to break into, multiple buildings at a rural Fillmore County residence in search of gas, allegedly stealing a gas can. The residence was that of a Minnesota State Trooper. Drake allegedly admitted that both defendants had been using methamphetamines.

On August 17, Michael Lee Drake, 28 of Lanesboro, and Matthew Ross Thompson, 43, of Fountain, appeared before District Court Judge Christopher A. Neisen. Drake and Thompson are each charged with Third Degree Burglary - Steal/Commit Felony or Gross Misdemeanor, a felony with a maximum

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Can a person park their camper/RV in the ditch of a highway? What about staying in a RV at a Mi n n e s o t a rest area? Answer: Leaving or parking a Troy H. camper or Christianson travel trailer in the ditch or on any highway right-of-way is illegal. A highway right-of-way typically extends near the top of the outside slope. It would only be allowed where signs designate it as a campsite. Commercial motor vehicle operators subject to hours of service regulations may stop and park continuously, for a period of up to 10 hours as necessary to comply with the hours of service regulations, at any MnDOT safety rest area or travel information center that has parking stalls designed to accommodate a commercial motor vehicle. All other motorists are permitted to stop at rest areas for up to four hours, where posted. Rest areas are essential safety features on the highway system that help address driver fatigue, a major cause of serious crashes. Their basic service is crash prevention. Studies show that a 15 to 20 minute break improves individual performance, even among sleep-deprived people. You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths. If you have any questions con-

cerning 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. Question: Can a state trooper write a traffic ticket for an infraction that they did not witness? Answer: A peace officer may arrest or issue a citation for some traffic violations and a number of misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offenses even if the officer didn’t witness it. The traffic infractions include: • Driving through columns of school children (within four hours) • DWI • Failure to stop at a railroad crossing (within four hours) • Failure to yield to an emergency vehicle (within four hours) • Railroad crossing violation (within four hours) • School bus stop arm violations (within four hours) • School cross walk violation (within four hours) If you witness any of the above violations, please report it to your local law enforcement agency, and it will be investigated. 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.

Federal match period extended for veterans home

Prior to the August 27 Preston City Council meeting, Cristina and Anton Welke and family, Plainview, announced that they had organized a baseball tournament to raise money for the veterans home, raising $4,500. Photo by Karen Reisner By Karen Reisner Just before the August 27 Preston City Council meeting, Cristina and Anton Welke and family, Plainview, announced that they had organized a baseball tournament to raise money for the veterans home. The deadline for receiving the 2:1 match from the federal government was August 24. However, that deadline has now been extended to September 28. The Welke family took it upon themselves to organize a fundraising event. Cristina said they hoped to raise $1,000 and were happy to announce they had raised $4,500. This was a way to celebrate both America’s pastime/ baseball and patriotism. A color guard opened the tournament that was specifically for raising awareness of the veterans home fund raising efforts. Three teams competed. Ron Scheevel, co-chair of the Preston Veterans Home committee thanked the Welkes on behalf of the committee, “We appreciate your efforts.” Mayor Kurt Reicks said, “On behalf of the city of Preston we thank you so much.” Anton responded that everyone loved it. 2019 Budget A draft of the 2019 budget was presented and discussed. City Administrator Joe Hoffman reported the budget as proposed would require a 2.41% property tax levy increase. Reicks questioned whether there will be more expenses for the veterans home that we don’t foresee. We have to look ahead. He suggested that it may be preferable to have a 4 to 5% levy increase in 2019 rather than possibly being forced into a larger 10% increase the following year to help fund a 2020 street project. Councilman Charles Sparks agreed. Reicks said we can always lower the proposed levy increase after

hearing public comment, but can’t raise it after the preliminary levy is approved. The draft presented included a $38,000 increase in the street improvement fund. Every $9,000 in the proposed levy is approximately 1%. Hoffman reported that health insurance increased by 7.1%, nearly $6,000. Salaries are to be increased 2.5%. Street lighting will cost $15,000 less due to savings from the conversion to LED lighting. Local Government Aid is essentially flat, up $189 to $497,442. This represents about a $13,000 increase since 2012. Police contract revenue will see an increase of $5,552 due to payments from Fountain and Lanesboro. The next meeting of the Preston City Council will be held on September 17. The preliminary levy will likely be adopted at that meeting. The preliminary levy must be approved no later than September 30. Other business in brief • A letter of support was approved for a grant application to be submitted by the fire department to the State Fire Marshal’s office to fund 90% of the cost for a washer/dryer to clean turnout gear. The machines costing $18,000 to clean the gear are part of a national effort to reduce exposure to carcinogens. If the grant is awarded, the 10% match will come from the fire department’s budget. • A variance was approved for Jeff Meigs to build a 36-foot by 45-foot accessory building at 513 Lincoln St. SE. With 12-foot sidewalls, the average height will be 14 feet. City code allows for a maximum average height of 12 feet. Planning and Zoning recommended approval of the two-foot variance. The property is zoned R-1. There is no dwelling on the property. There was a lengthy discus-

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. and noxious weeds can affect ones enjoyment of ones property if a neighboring property is not maintained. Sparks said there has to be a balance when the overgrowth is in one’s own back yard with the owner’s property rights. Overgrowth in an alley way and noxious weeds are different. Police chief Matt Schultz commented that the ordinance is enforceable to the limit the council wants it enforced. Hoffman said nuisance ordinances are enforced based on complaints. There is a specific process that begins with a written and signed

complaint. Maust noted a lot of the problem properties are owned by absentee owners and rented out. A letter is sent out to the property owner and the process is set into motion when there is no response. Hoffman will bring some complaints to the council on September 17 for the council’s consideration, as to whether to issue formal destruction orders. Just sending letters out to property owners has not been effective. • Two seats will be open on the city council at the end of the year. Charles Sparks and Robert Maust have filed for the city council. The general election is November 6.

sion during the public hearing. Planning and Zoning required one condition; the building must be moved back 57 feet from the property line (82 feet from the center of the road) to compromise with concerns raised by neighboring property owners. Meigs wants to use the shed for storage and wants it to have a high enough ceiling to allow a motor home to be stored in it. Councilman Robert Maust voted against the variance. • A variance was approved for Vicky Lynch, 105 St. Paul St. NW, to build a 17-foot by 17-foot attached car port on the west side of her house, as recommended by Planning and Zoning. She is requesting an 11-foot setback to the west and a 10-foot setback to the north. The property is zoned B-3. The city code setbacks would require 20 foot and 50 foot. There was no comment from the public or objection from neighbors. • There was a long discussion on the city’s weed ordinance. Hoffman said there have been several complaints. He wanted clarification and clear direction from the council on what degree of overgrowth and weeds should trigger enforcement. What is “rank vegetation” and excess growth.
