Ag drives Preston growth with $4.1 million investment

Five years in the making, Preston Dairy and Farm has climbed the mountain atop a plan strategically executed in the name of growth.

Terry Rindels, Manager of Preston Dairy and Farm, shared the details of how this ag-driven cooperative arrived at the former Gehling Auction Co. location.

Back in 2010, the Preston Dairy and Farm Board of Directors asked Terry what he had in mind regarding a five year plan.

After operating at the Fillmore Street location, near downtown Preston, for more than 45 years,

Rindels suggested to the board that they had outgrown their space and needed to build a new facility.

While it may have seemed like a risky consideration, the growth of Preston Dairy and Farm warranted a need for expansion. As Rindels said, “We have experienced considerable growth,” further adding, “we outgrew where we were.”

At the Fillmore Street location, they had a lack of storage and they couldn’t get the product out the door fast enough. It was a matter of logistics.

erative has grown in volume and customer-base.

Rindels, who has been with Preston Dairy and Farm for over 23 years, has managed the cooperative for the past 10 years. While he’s a modest man, under his leadership, the organization has experienced phenomenal growth to the extent that they need more help to go along with their new facilities.

At the Fillmore Street location, with a combined 8,400 square feet, they operated with a fertilizer shed, mill shed, and chemical storage.

Ostrander speed limit discussed

By R ich Wicks rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Ostrander city council met in regular session on September 1. Members present were Erin Brugh, Pam Kunert, Mayor Pat Nesler, and Clerk Chris Hyrkas.

Following the Pledge of Allegiance and approval of the consent agenda, the council heard from department heads.

Public Works Director Jimmie Dean stated that “Everything’s running well” despite heavy rains last week, and said some repair/ maintenance parts are on order.

Dustin Tart (Maintenance) asked about placement of the park bench, which CHS has donated in memory of Larry Vreeman.

The bench is to be placed at the park. Jimmie Dean said they’d scouted out a spot south of the pavilion and between the trees. He said if this location is

approved, the city will need to simply call Gopher One prior to digging to install the bench.

The council OK’d this placement. Mayor Nesler also asked Dustin to please sweep grass off sidewalks after mowing.

Police Chief Tom Mosher updated the council on news in his department. He said the state has implemented a new system called the Minnesota Adult Abuse Reporting Center (MAARC) which he said connects to social services, human services, and law enforcement agencies. Chief Mosher informed the council that a property on the north edge of town has been taken over by a bank, and will now get mowed and cleaned up.

He reminded residents to always lock homes, buildings, and vehicles to help prevent theft or break-ins. Chief Mosher then See SPEED Page 8 

Rushford Village considers bond for pavement plan

By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The city of Rushford Village has long known that it’s behind on maintaining public roads.

Over the last few years, the city council has actively worked to develop a plan to reconstruct or rework specific roads and put all on a maintenance plan. In 2013, the council had a detailed Pavement Management Plan created, complete with road condition surveys, mapping, and a 10-year outlook. The $1.2 million plan was struck down in 2014 by a citizen petition. Now, more than a year since the petition, the council is once again looking at bonding for the project or portions of it.

“We recognize that maybe we didn’t present it well last year, since it was overridden by a petition,” stated Mayor Gordon Johnson. “Maybe we didn’t explain that we weren’t raising taxes. We didn’t identify the fact that whatever we pay every year now is what is going to pay this bond back. I believe that what with what we have budgeted for road work, that is a true statement.”

Bolton & Menk Engineer Josh Pope was on hand to discuss his perspective of the project and options for doing the work. “It’s not going to hurt doing it all at once. From an engineering perspective, it makes sense to go ahead and attack it all in one See PLAN Page 6 

Fountain American Legion Auxiliary folding

By Barb Jeffers After many decades of service, the Fountain American Legion Auxiliary has disbanded.

During the Auxiliary’s final meeting on August 27, 2015, members signed paperwork surrendering their charter, Unit #492.

Reasons cited for folding the Fountain American Legion Auxiliary were as follows: 1) Difficulties getting the work of the American Legion Auxiliary accomplished; as the active members of the auxiliary are older women, it is difficult for them to get to events.

2) There are only a few paying members attending meetings; According to Unit President Lynn Larson, “last time there were five

people” at the auxiliary meeting.

3) Average age of members; most active members are in their 80s and 90s and not many younger members are active.

4) Active members do not want to accept the elected and appointed positions; since there were so few active members, many of the women had to hold officer positions for many years and some members were forced to hold two positions at the same time.

In August 2015, as the Fountain American Legion Auxiliary folded, there were 22 members of the unit, according to Larson.

2014-2015 officers for the Fountain American Legion Auxiliary were: President - Lynn Larson Vice President - Alvira

Klockeman Secretary - Myrna Little Treasurer - Lynn Larson Chaplain - Marge Bremseth Members at the time the unit disbanded included Lynn Larson, Alvira Klockeman, Myrna Little, Marge Bremseth, Winnie Klockeman, Dorothy Himli, Fern Drury, Mary Dohrmann, Vera Redalen, Averlene Marzolf, Jody Benson, Ann Klockeman, Kelsey O’Koren, Helen Tangen, Barb Tust, Kristen Schommer, Sharon Asleson, Brenda Chiglo, Jenna Chiglo, Katelin Ehler, Anna Marie Roche, and Diane Johnson.

The Fountain American Legion Auxiliary had been in existence since WWI and “after WWII they called a meeting” and became active again, says Little, who is a 70-year member of the auxiliary, having joined in 1945.

Little states “everyone was in WWII”, which explains why the group had its peak membership following WWII with over 50 members, as many people joined the auxiliary following the war.

Also included were “junior

made and Preston and Dairy Farm has completely relocated to their new home to better serve their patrons.

Terry credits his team at Preston Dairy and Farm for making this entire transition possible. “We’ve got a real good clientele; loyal.

And, really top-notch employees.”

The team at Preston Dairy and Farm is gearing up for an open house event on Wednesday, September 9, 2015, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with pork burgers served by the Fillmore County Pork Producers. During this open house, visitors will be able to tour the new multi-million dollar facility.

members” who were daughters of members of the group. In 1957 membership dues were two dollars for members and one dollar for junior members. Today the yearly dues are $25.

When asked how they feel about disbanding, the women have mixed emotions. Little said she is “kind of sad about it” but said they knew it was coming as they had made the decision at their May 7, 2015 meeting to surrender their Unit Charter.

Member Winnie Klockeman, who is 93 years of age, talked of their meetings saying “nobody gets there anymore” as it is getting too difficult due to age, and her sister Alvira, age 97, who has been an auxiliary member for 70 years, adds “we have our meetings during the day and they are working” she says of the younger members.

As two of the members, Fern Drury and Winnie Klockeman, now live at Traditions in Pres-

ton, Minn., they are no longer in Fountain to attend meetings easily.

The Fountain American Legion Auxiliary was very active in years past and participated in many community events. These activities included attending members’ funerals, poppy day, bake sales, serving for auction sales, yearly birthday party for the Fountain Legion, donated money to various organizations, and more.

The auxiliary also sent Christmas and birthday cards to veterans at the Mosher Veteran’s Home in La Crescent, Minn. with one dollar in each card “just to make sure they got mail”, states Marzolf.

And “we always had a Christmas party” says Little, which everyone always looked forward to and enjoyed.

The women also took part in Memorial Day programs in the See AUXILIARY Page 8  Clara House of Harmony (Formerly Heritage Grove)

Soccer at the high school level?

By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal. com Publisher’s Note: Due to an error in the layout process with last week’s newspaper, we are Jason Sethre reprinting this commentary since it was missing a significant amount of the content. We apologize for any confusion.

About six years ago, working closely with Fillmore Central Community Education staff,

my wife and I started exploring the opportunity for a youth soccer program.

Along the way, I discovered Josh Krage had played soccer as a youth and while serving in the Army. Josh was interested in getting a program set up at Fillmore Central, as well.

As we talked to more and more parents, interest grew.

So, we promoted our firstever summer youth soccer program, and drew in a small crowd of 23 youth soccer players from ages 3 to 12.

After about six years of developing the program, we are now hovering around 90 youth soccer players from ages 3 to 12 enrolled in the seven week long

Laudato si’ brings people together

By Amanda Larsen Rochester, Minn.

Pastor, Lanesboro and Wykoff United Methodist Churches A priest, an environmentalist, a county comm i s s i o n e r, an artist and a welder enter the building and find seats at Amanda Larsen a table. No . . . this isn’t the beginning of a joke. This is the beginning of a conversation on Laudato si’, the new encyclical published by Pope Francis in late May. Mary Bell and Linda Tacke (former nun) both read the encyclical and, after several discussions, wanted to talk with other people about this lengthy Editorial Cartoon

statement on the environmental crisis facing our earth. They began inviting people to join them for dinner and a discussion.

The group quickly swelled to 23 people who spent nearly four hours together on August 26 in Linda and David’s condo in Lanesboro storytelling, planning, and hoping for change.

At the heart of Laudato si’ is an invitation to participation by the whole human family to change together. Pope Francis writes, “The urgent challenge to protect our common home includes a concern to bring the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change.” Later this month, Pope Francis will address both the United Nations and joint houses of congress in preparation for the global climate summit in

summer session that always starts the first Tuesday after Independence Day. Each year, we tend to draw players from towns far beyond the Fillmore Central School District, including Chatfield, Lanesboro, Spring Valley, Wykoff, and even Decorah.

As we’ve been developing our soccer program, RushfordPeterson Community Education has been attracting a nice crowd of players, as well.

The past two years, we have coordinated one Saturday morning game between Fillmore Central and RushfordPeterson kids. Going to practice is never the same as playing in a real game. It challenges them to learn the game and it elevates their level of interest.

Thanks to Jennifer Hengel, who coordinated and coached the R-P kids, we were able

to assemble two games this year based on two different age groups.

We’d like to have more games, but there are always scheduling conflicts.

I have often had parents ask me if there is a chance we will have soccer available at the high school level some day.

I like the idea of offering soccer in the school districts throughout this area, but there are several things to consider.

Soccer is a fall sport. In many of our school districts, some sports teams are not getting the numbers they’d like.

I fear that football, volleyball, and cross country could suffer.

If we offer too many options, will it take away from another program? Maybe. Maybe not.

I don’t know.

Right now, based on enrollment, I could see Fillmore

Central, Lanesboro, and Mabel-Canton combining to form a soccer team, just like they do with some other sports throughout the year.

Otherwise, Chatfield has the largest numbers, with class sizes ranging from 70 to 100 students. After that, I’d say Rushford-Peterson could put together a soccer team, based on their enrollment. They always seem to have a high level of sports participation, too, which helps.

For there to ever be a successful high school soccer program in this area, it will take more schools starting up their own programs. Otherwise, how far will one team have to drive to play a game?

And, a good program, quite frankly, has to start with parental leadership and involvement.

Paris this December.

The group discovered that people have unique reasons for caring about the environment. While the Pope’s document brought the group together, each person shared experiences and motivations for wanting to be part of seeking change. Some reasons were scientific, some spiritual, some economic, and some simply for the sake of beauty.

The group also discovered they wanted to be a part of something more. Dozens of ideas were shared ranging from community composting in Lanesboro to proposing a new economic system that recognized the interconnections between the poor, the environment and consumption and measured “gross domestic happiness”.

At 9:30 p.m., as the group made their way to their homes, each person agreed to tell the story of the evening’s gathering to two other people and ask them

for their ideas. They recognized they would not do this alone. In the words of Pope Francis, “We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for others and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it.”

C ommentary Letter about shameful!...

To the Editor, At Tuesday’s meeting (Sept.1) the Board of Commissioners discussed the CP (Canadian Pacific) Rail expansion. Attorney Jandt had received a letter in response to a letter he had sent to CP. In a nutshell, CP informed Houston County that no matter what the county decided regarding permits, federal law takes precedence over state and county laws.

Basically, they are just coming to the county to be nice, but it doesn’t really matter as they do what they want.

The Board had granted a CUP a few months back, but later CP Rail decided to shift the line 1000’ to the north to save cost from a large wet land instead only affecting a smaller wet land area, which in turn affects the driveway of a county resident. Due to this new knowledge, Commissioner Zmyewski made a motion to rescind the original CUP; seconded by Commissioner Kjome. He made it clear to the other Board members that no matter what they decided, CP indicated they would do what they wanted anyway, but he wanted to be on record that he votes to protect the citizens’ health and safety.

Guess what? Even though it would make no difference to CP Rail, Commissioners Storlie, Walter, and Schuldt ALL voted AGAINST the motion!

They clearly do not have the best interests of their constituents as their priority. Nor do these three seem to have the will or intention of enforcing the conditions of any conditional use permits they grant.

SHAME ON THEM! Do we want leaders like that?

Letter about Bullies Among Us?...

To the Editor, Those who attended the August 27, 2015 Houston County Planning Commission meeting witnessed a disturbing spectacle. There was a malicious oral attack on committee member Rich Schild by chairperson Dan Griffin. Fireworks erupted when Schild attempted to correct the minutes from the July 23, 2015 meeting regarding a misrepresentation of his motion.

The confrontation erupted when Griffin accused Schild of falsifying his original motion, which failed on a 4:2 vote.

Griffin instantly transformed from a reasonable meeting leader into an infuriated bully. His attitude and behavior was unprofessional, intimidating, and disrespectful. Griffin’s performance as the Planning Commission

Gas Buddy August 31- Average retail gasoline prices in Minn. have fallen 19.4 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.44/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,856 gas outlets in Minn. This compares with the national average that has fallen 12.8 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.47/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy. com.

Including the change in gas prices in Minn. during the past week, prices yesterday were 89.2 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 17.7 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 19.5 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 96.4 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

“Nationally, gas prices saw their largest weekly drop of the year,”

Chair was reprehensible! There is no place in our Houston County government for this behavior from an elected official, and certainly not from someone in an “appointed” position. His “job” is to run the meeting in a professional, objective manner, and extend courteous, respectful treatment to every Planning Commission member as well as the public in attendance.

Due to poor audio quality, the county recording couldn’t be used to resolve the conflict.

A Houston County resident offered a recording of the July 23 meeting with better audio quality. Commission member Larry Hafner was the voice of reason and did the right thing when he recommended viewing the citizen’s recording to help resolve this issue. Bullies are not effective leaders!

The national average now stands at its lowest point since April, a fitting way to close out the summer driving season with Labor Day approaching. While oil prices rallied late last week, I don’t yet expect it to impact pump prices, as they still have some catching up to do with the drop in crude oil prices. Since June 30, oil prices have fallen 23% while retail gasoline prices have fallen about half that amount, so gasoline prices will move lower again this week,” DeHaan said.

Letter about response to Jeff Erding’s commentary...

Peanut says: Just going to throw in my two cents here- it’s frustrating to read people blaming anything and everything on the lack of God or church. Being a good ‘church person’ does not translate into being a good person, there are some serious disgusting thugs that go to church. There are also some wonderful people who do know the difference between right and wrong and have *gasp* never been to church.

Bottom line: You don’t need to go to church to be a good person, or to know right from wrong. People leaving the church isn’t the problem.

Bob Burkholder says: Peanut, you are right. I know plenty of people who do not attend Church that happen to know right from wrong, I hardly ever attend Church (and I am FAR from perfect). But believing in GOD has stopped ME from doing some pretty nasty things to stupid people a time or two. Why are Atheists so sensitive when it comes to Religion? If you don’t believe in it... Why does it bother you so much? Do you go around complaining about all the people who believe in UFO’s or do you just have a problem with Christianity like the rest of the world does right now? Honestly not trying to be unkind here, but I don’t even give grief to people who claim to be Satanic, it’s their belief and they have a right to believe what they want. Just trying to understand the issue Atheists have with those who choose to believe. future says: Many atheists and agnostics go about their daily lives completely fine with people following whatever deities they want. What drives atheists and agnostic communities to “have a problem” is when people use religious justification for public policy (teaching Creationism as science, opposition to same sex marriage, etc.).

On a separate note, I question the true morality of people who are only “good” because of a promise of eternal salvation or fear of eternal damnation. One should treat fellow human beings with dignity and respect because it is the morally right thing to do, without having to invoke a deity to reign in some inner darkness.

Peanut says: I personally don’t identify as a Christian, but I don’t consider myself an Atheist, either. I have absolutely no problem with people going to church or having a belief in God. Having a church community can be a huge benefit, and religious beliefs serve as a moral compass for many. Christianity is popular in this country, and it works for a lot of people. It just doesn’t happen to be the path for me. (Or many, many other people.)

Having said that, I think a lot of people grow up very insulated in their church beliefs and don’t realize that it’s not the only way, or that IT IS OKAY for people to not be a Christian.

Some people then try to force their religion down the throats of non-believers, or insert church views into government. They don’t even realize that they’re getting carried away, because they were never taught that differences are okay.They talk of America being ‘a Christian nation’ when there are a lot of different faith (or non-faith) groups in this country, in addition to the first amendment which states that Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion. When these things happen, it tends to annoy me. Some might view that as ‘having a problem with Christianity’, but I personally do not think it’s the same thing. I have a problem with people or groups of people who try to overstep boundaries, regardless of religious affiliation.

Peterson adopts new water rate; moves on ADA compliance issues Aspy says: So we’re paying for sidewalk on a dead-end street for a building that ALREADY HAS an accessible entrance (just needs a handicap parking sign), but were making seniors and a family with a disabled child walk down a highway? Brilliant!

shot.” Pope went on to discuss benefits of economy of scale; essentially that projects will see savings overall if larger in size, aiding in maintaining infrastructure more effectively. “There are all different sorts of avenues we can explore.”

The remainder of what hasn’t been done from the initial plan, Option 1, could be done in 2016 if bonded. The bond and future maintenance, typically five to seven years beyond initial project work and beyond, could then be paid for using funds already designated through the tax levy.

Option 1 for 2016 Pavement Management Improvements calls for overlay of the following streets: Nordic Court, Plummer Street (from Darr Avenue to the end), Whitmore Street (from Prospect Street to Goodrich Avenue), and Hillview Drive. Complete reclamation of five streets is also included: Whitmore Street (from Goodrich Avenue to Highway 43), Plummer Street (from Main Street to Darr Lane), Goodrich Avenue (from Sherwood Street to Main Street), Ridgeview Road, and Main Street.

proposed cost of Option 1 is estimated at $1.185 million.

Several of the city’s streets were or are scheduled for sealcoating or overlay work this year. This included crack sealing and seal coating on Laura Lane, Oakview Loop, Meadow Avenue, East Hayes Street, East Goodrich Avenue, Sherwood Street, and Money Creek Road. Overlay scheduled included Meadow Avenue, East Goodrich Avenue, Prospect Street, and Darr Avenue.

Should the council continue to “piecemeal” the projects, it faces increased costs, such as mobilization and materials, as well as falling further behind in maintenance. “Say we just keep going one road at a time and we’re standing at $120,000 a year. But now in five years, we’ve got four other roads done and have to incur all those maintenance costs, in addition to another road,” added councilor Hamilton Peterson.

The council was encouraged to talk with financial consultant Mike Bubany, who helped structure the last proposed bond.

“If we did it all, we could get back on track,” noted Johnson.

“Then, we can start on a maintenance plan.” It was motioned and approved for Pope to give preliminary numbers to Bubany to get the ball rolling on a proposed bond.

The council has also continued to move forward a second fulltime position within the Public

Works/Maintenance Department. Mayor Johnson, Clerk Kristina Mart, and Public Works/ Maintenance Supervisor Travis Scheck met in August to determine if a part-time or full-time position would best serve the city’s needs and what that position would entail in qualification requirements. Johnson noted that it was agreed the applicant would need to obtain necessary water and sewer licensure and hold a valid Class B license with air brake endorsement, at a minimum.

Once posted, the position will be open to applications until September 18. No set start date has been decided for the position, in effort to maintain some fluidity with candidates’ current work schedules.

With that new position, the city is also looking to reduce the need for employee contracts, specifically stating position requirements. While the council noted the importance of having a contract for the first year with the city, during the probationary period, it was agreed that contracts could be voided after that time. Position requirements with the city would then fall under written policies in an Employee Handbook.

Additionally, the council noted that having performance reviews done prior to September each year, instead of on the anniversary of the employee hire, would help alleviate problems with paperwork and including

An Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County pay, benefit, or licensure increases into an already set budget.

Councilor Dennis Overland will contact the League of Minnesota Cities to obtain a handbook that could be modified with existing Village job requirements to create a handbook and policy.

The council is also looking forward to the 2016 budget. The city must certify its maximum preliminary levy at the second meeting in September. The final levy must be certified to the county in December.

Last year, the council had considered a $400,000 levy, raising it $50,000 from the previous

year. The amount was eventually dropped and certified at $375,000. The city was “blindsided” by increased costs in 2014, such as refuse pickup, in addition to seeing continued reduction, as much as 20%, in Local Government Aid. In preparation for setting the preliminary levy at the next meeting, the council will review current budgetary fund allotments, as well as CD investments.

The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, September 15, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Bolton & Menk Engineer Josh Pope clarified how Pavement Management Plan projects and maintenance could be laid out in one bond issue, should Rushford Village proceed with bonding for completion of work on streets. Also pictured is Village Clerk Kristina Mart.

asked the council to consider a resolution to allow him more access to court records. He said there is no cost if the council approves this resolution. After brief discussion, the council OK’d the resolution.

A citizen (Phil) addressed the council with two complaints.

First, he said he’d requested a visit from a deputy on an issue, but no officer ever showed up.

When asked, he admitted he hadn’t called a second time. Second, he spoke about the recent posting requiring him to have his dog vaccinated, licensed, and spayed/neutered. Chief Mosher asked who was stating that dogs needed to be spayed/ neutered, and Phil said the city’s letter stated that. Chief Mosher retrieved a copy of the letter and offered it to Phil. Mosher read the letter, which had been posted at the LifeStyle Apartments. Chief Mosher explained, “Nobody’s ever been told to spay or neuter” their dog (by the city of Ostrander). Mayor Nesler summarized that requirement was just to have dogs vaccinated and licensed, and he suggested that Phil would be better off to meet the requirements rather than complaining about whether or not other residents have complied.

The council approved special assessment after reviewing the water usage data from 211 N.

Main Street.

Chief Mosher then addressed the council about the speed limit near the city park. He said a citizen asked what it would take to get the limit lowered from 30mph to 20mph. Mosher said unfortunately, cities do not have the authority to change such speed limits on their own. He said the Minnesota DOT has a system in which they monitor actual traffic at a site, and then determine the appropriate speed limit using a standardized formula. Mosher told of another town that wanted a speed limit lowered, but after DOT monitoring, the speed limit was actually raised by 10mph. Erin Burgh asked about setting up a monitor to show motorists how fast they are actually driving. Mosher said such units cost about $30,000 each. He said rather than go through the uncertain process with the DOT, he suggests he will simply try to monitor the area more frequently, but he also asked residents to please, “Get me license numbers, or a vehicle description” (of vehicles driving too fast) so he can follow up and find out how widespread the problem is. He also said, “I’ll talk with the individual who brought up this issue” and explain why the city cannot lower the speed limit.

The council discussed setting a date for Preliminary 2016 Budget Meeting, but due to two council members being absent, the council opted to wait until

The council also tabled consideration of renewal of liquor licenses for Susie’s Roadhouse and Wolf ’s Den. The council discussed the Ostrander Nursing Home question of whether a sidewalk could be installed from the east side of the nursing home to the west side of the pavilion, to make it easier for nursing home residents and families to get to the park.

Erin Brugh asked, “Are they asking the city to do it, or would they do it? As long as we don’t have to pay for it, it would be OK.” The council then discussed whose responsibility ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the new sidewalk would be. No formal action was taken.

The council then discussed a request by Jamie Holt for a hearing regarding her water bill.

Clerk Hyrkas said she will talk with Holt and explain the cost of such a hearing, to see if Holt still wants to pursue this.

area. Winnie Klockeman said “we did anything that was patriotic”, as that is the heart of the auxiliary program.

Himli commented “and don’t forget all the parades we marched in”, to which all of the ladies reacted and said “oh, yes, the parades - we were always in the parades!” as the memories started flowing between the members.

Members of the Fountain American Legion Auxiliary are able to transfer their membership to another active local unit of their choice. Himli states that she will transfer to the Lanesboro, Minn. unit, and Larson is considering transferring to the unit in Chatfield, Minn.

The ladies say that most of them will still stay in contact through church and other activities such as the Fountain Senior Citizens, who meet the first and third Monday

of each month and every Saturday morning for breakfast at Los Gables in Fountain. Some of the women will also see each other frequently, as they are members of the Fountain Study Club.

As has been the trend with many smaller auxiliary units, the Fountain American Legion Auxiliary is gone. The members talked about how the younger generation, for the most part, does not seem interested in keeping up the traditions that have stood for so many years.

Some of them say it is because there are not as many people involved or affected by war as there were during WWII. But our veterans are here and are still coming home.

These veterans and heros will benefit from the services the auxiliary offers in the years to come.

Please consider joining your nearest American Legion Auxiliary to keep it strong for future generations.

attended elementary and junior high schools in Calif., Guam, and Utah before his father retired from the Air Force and the family settled in Chatf ield, Minn. He g r a d u - John D. “Bud” ated from Hanson, Jr. Chatf ield High School in 1971.

Bud farmed with his family after high school, and then joined the Navy. He first served on the USS Oak Ridge and was stationed in Rota, Spain. While in Spain, he bought a motor scooter and spent days off exploring Europe – where he fell in love with the feeling of “the wind in his hair and the bugs in his teeth”. From the Oak Ridge, he was transferred to the supercarrier the USS Nimitz. After his active enlistment, Bud remained in the Navy Reserve for a period of time.

On February 25, 1978, he married his soul mate, Susan Earleen Trapp. They loved traveling by car and motorcycle, riding their horses, and raising their two beautiful daughters on their farm near Chatfield. Family and friends were always the center of their lives.

They enjoyed hosting holidays and card parties, and their lives were filled with adventure and laughter.

Bud will be remembered by

all for his loving nature, his determination and his sense of humor. As a member of the Masonic Lodge and as a Shriner, he shared his talents to support charities such as the Shriners Hospital. Though he experienced many health problems, he always accepted the challenges – changing careers from electrician to welder to building utilities mechanic to accountant as he adapted to his physical limitations. Of all the jobs he had through his life, though, his very favorite was being Grandpa. His grandchildren brought him great happiness and always brightened his day.

Bud is survived by his wife, Susan; two daughters Amanda (Joe) Uhler and Nancy Hanson both of Rochester; his parents, John and Vera of Chatfield; his brother, Donald (Lydia) Hanson of Chatfield and sister, Karen (Lester) Trapp of Claremont; and his grandchildren, Sakura and John Rene’; as well as many friends and extended family. He was preceded in death by his brother, Dennis Hanson.

Funeral services was held at 11 a.m. on Monday, August 31, 2015, at Riley Funeral Home in Chatfield. Visitation took place from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. A Masonic service was held at 9:30 a.m. A committal service followed at the Orion Center Cemetery.

Riley Funeral Homes in Chatfield is assisting the family with arrangements. Condolences may be shared with the family at rileyfuneralhomes.com

There were 12 third graders that participated. They went to the Preston Bowling Alley and bowled and also had pizza with a cop. Then they went to Family Dollar to shop for school items. Some of the things they got were back packs, school supplies, and two pairs of jeans. It was a great event for the

child and the cop.

They talked about the Salvation Army Facebook.

They also talked about the $800 that was given to the schools is Fillmore County for their milk break program. They have started seeing thank yous in the papers from the schools.

On Sunday, the Wykoff United Methodist Church held a joint worship service at the Historical Church in Lenora.

After the service we had a potluck meal. Lenora is a beautiful church in a beautiful location.

Our sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Edna Winslow of Fillmore, who passed away on August

22. Funeral services were held at the Fillmore Free Methodist Church, with Paster Mike Hopper officiating. She is survived by a sister, Hazel (David) Vesey of Rochester; four daughters: Marie (Ken) Baker of Wykoff, Inez (Dar) Halverson of Rochester, Deb (Gary) Albrecht of Wykoff, and Brenda (Scott) Rain of Fountain.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

Fillmore County Sports

By Paul Trende After one week of high school football, only two teams were left unbeaten. After two weeks of football, the same is true. Fillmore Central remained perfect by ending a los- The Trende ing streak Report versus RushfordPeterson.

MabelCanton used a dominating running game to bruise Paul Trende past rival Lanesboro to also move to 2-0.

A Whale-n of a Performance The Mabel-Canton Cougars can run the football. Coming off a 2014 campaign where they nearly had two 1,000-yard running backs, M-C looks well on their way to getting rid of the ‘nearly’. In week two, in a big rivalry game with Lanesboro, the Cougars turned to their ‘nearly’ running back, 900-yard rusher in 2014, Weston Whalen. In one two hour span, the 5’9” 160-pound junior chalked up over ¼ of a thousand yards.

Whalen four times ripped the Burro defense for touchdown runs.

In nearly per- Weston Whalen fect increments of 20, he scored from 20, 41, 60, and 81 yards. All told, Whalen racked up 265 yards on just 14 carries (amazingly not a career game; he had 284 versus Lyle/Pacelli last year). Backfield mate, 2014 1,000-yard rusher, Wayne Ross, had a pair of scores of his own (1 yard, 35 yards). He finished with 20 carries for 153 yards. The Cougars pounded out 489 yards on the ground. M-C jumped out 22-0 only to lead 22-8 at halftime.

A year ago, the Cougars, also in Mabel, led the Burros 21-0 at halftime only for Lanesboro to rally and have a shot at winning the game on the contest’s final play. Mitch Kuhn’s interception preserved the Cougar win. No Cougar had to be Mr.

Hero in 2015. M-C put up a pair of unanswered third quarter touchdowns to lead 36-8.

They moved to 2-0 overall and in South-East district play courtesy of a 42-16 victory. It is their first 2-0 start since 2009.

The Burros, for a second week, were led by junior running back Collin Scott (15 carries, 117 yards, 60-yard TD run, 2-35 receiving). Cole Schwichtenberg (4-7, 44 yards passing, 14-52, TD rushing) and Steven Rein (14-66 rushing) helped out. The Burros fall to 0-2.

Falcons Means-ing Business In week one of the football season, Fillmore Central’s Tyson Ristau ran wild in versus J-WP. In week two, versus county rival RushfordPeterson, the senior tailback was at it again. But he got plenty Riley Means of assistance.

The FC special teams made multiple plays. The Falcon defense pitched a shut-out. Junior quarterback Riley Means, playing only his second varsity game under center, threw as many passes for scores as for incompletions. The 5’9” 182-pounder was 9 of 12 for 155 yards and 3 touchdowns. He was on, twice hitting Sam Rustad (5 yards, 10 yards) for scores (the junior wide receiver’s only receptions). The other score sealed the deal for FC. Leading 20-0 in the third quarter, a touchdown-negating double-penalty, plus a sack, had the Falcons facing a third and 33 at the FC 34. One perfectly executed Means to Ristau screen pass later, and Ristau was in the end zone for a second time. It made the score 26-0 heading the fourth. For the first time since FC’s last really good team, 2011, a span of four games, the Falcons downed R-P. The final was 33-0. T-Ristau finished with 200 all-purpose yards (25-143, TD rushing; 2-57, TD receiving). Trace Tollefson (3 receptions, 56 yards) and Brady Ristau (11 carries, 30 yards, TD) helped out. The Falcon special teams had a fumble recovery on the opening kick-off (B-Ristau), a blocked punt (Drew Tienter), and a muffed-punt recovery (Justin Ristau). FC’s defense

gave up 145 total yards while the offense racked up 298. R-P’s top yardage getter was Kyle Weidemann (5 carries, 44 yards). The Falcons move to 2-0 overall, 1-0 in the Mid-Southeast East subdistrict. It’s their first 2-0 start since 2011. R-P falls to 0-2, 0-1.

FC Volleyball Rallies Past Hayfield

The names are very much different. The formula no longer includes lots of Malley, Scheevel, and Bakke. A new team mixture has been concocted for defending 1A East champion Fillmore Central volleyball. To start the 2015 season, a fresh group of girls took to the court. They persevered to a highly-competitive, very good win over statevote-getter Hayfield. Juniors Paige Bennett (5 kills) and Tayah Barnes (9 digs) led the charge in set one. A Barnes five-point serving session midway flipped a 13-10 deficit to a 15-14 lead.

FC stayed in front for the 25-21 win. Set two featured eight ties. FC led 18-14, but Hayfield closed things on an 11-3 run for a 25-21 win. In set three, after a 5-0 run, FC again seemingly was on the verge, up 19-14. But the Vikings, good in their own right (1A West runner-up in 2014), surged to a 7-1 run and a 21-20 lead. The Falcons, though, were the first to set point. Thrice they had a chance at the win (24-21, 24-22, 24-23), but no dice. The Vikings went to their best player, sophomore Maggie Streightiff. She authored a couple kills over the final four points. After some extra volleyball, Hayfield grabbed the 27-25 win, a 2-1 lead. The set featured eleven ties and eight lead changes. Set four had the Falcons starting fast (5-1), Hayfield reeling them in (7-7), FC surging ahead (13-8), dido on the reeling in (22-22).

FC got to set point via a Bennett kill (24-23). Streightiff replied (24-24). A Kelsey Berg kill and a Cailey Rindels block in succession granted FC the 26-24 win, tying the set (2-2). In game five, Hayfield started quick (5-1), but got reeled in (8-8). A five-point Bailey Barnes serving session put the Falcons in front (11-9).

Back-to-back Bennett kills (two of five in the set) put FC at game point (14-11). Twice, Hayfield denied FC of victory. But at 14-13, a Viking double-hit gave the new-look Falcons a big five-set come-from-behind victory (3-2; 25-21, 21-25, 25-27, 26-24, 15-13). A year ago, FC lost in five sets in Hayfield.

Paige Bennett was the hitting star, leading all attackers with 21 kills (.298 efficiency). The 5’10” junior added 15 digs. Fellow junior Tayah Barnes led all defenders with 40 digs. She was also 27-27 serving. B-Barnes (23) and Shelby Ebner (18) split the assists. Berg (9 kills, 11 digs, 3 aces, 19-19 serving) and B-squad call-up Rindels (6 kills, 1 ½ blocks) also were big in

the Falcon effort. Hayfield was led by sophomore stand-outs Streightiff (15 kills, 15 digs, 20 assists, 2 blocks, 2 aces) and Carrie Rutledge (10 kills, 23 digs).

The match featured 26 ties. In sets two, three, and five, the losing team saw four-point leads evaporate.

Hot Shots

A pair of county football teams redeemed week one losses with week two wins. Houston football rode Jeremiah Johnson (two TD runs, four interceptions on defense) and Nathan Lee (22152 rushing) to a 20-12 win over Lyle/Pacelli. They are now 1-1 in the South-East District/overall. Chatfield got back to playing like-sized opponents. The Gophers hitched their running game to stud backs Parker Fossum (34-152, TD) and Carter Duxbury (15-111, TD) in dispensing with Dover-Eyota 30-19 on the Eagles new field turf.

Lanesboro volleyball redeemed a play-off loss last year, downing Schaeffer Academy 3-1. Senior Rachel Kimball led the way with 8 kills and 5 aces. Fourthranked Mabel-Canton volleyball downed LeRoy-Ostrander 3-0.

Dakota Delaney led the Cougars with 11 kills while Coranda Vickerman was everywhere (8 kills, 18 assists, 6 digs, 3 aces).

Houston lost to Lyle/Pacelli in five sets, but got 15 kills and a ridiculous 17 ace blocks from Kelly Jerviss in defeat.

Houston’s Jeremiah Johnson had a pair of short TD runs and intercepted Lyle/ Pacelli QB Brady Lester four times in helping the Hurricanes to a 20-12 win.

Amazingly, the senior hasn’t played football since the 8th grade. He had a pick in week one giving him five on the year.

Harmony area dance director gets local youth ready to “unlock their potential” Vicki Musel attended the 2015 Just For Kix Annual Convention with over 153 Just For Kix Youth program directors from Minn., Nebr., Mont., Ill., N. Dak., N. Mex., Tex., Iowa, Wis., Colo., Oreg., Wash., and S. Dak. The 2015 Directors Convention was held at Forestview Middle School and The Legacy at Cragun’s Resort on August 2-4, 2015.

Vicki Musel is the new Harmony Just For Kix Director.

“Changing lives one dancer at a time”, Just for Kix is more than just dance, it is where memories are made. Vicki stated, “At convention, I learned some

amazing ways to make dance fun for kids while growing their dance skills. Their future is my passion and I look forward to helping them to realize and attain their dreams! I was able to work with the dancers assisting last year and am amazed at the growth in each of our dancers at the end of the dance season.”

The convention offered multiple educational and programming classes to assist in furthering the director’s dance curriculum and sessions on resources for program development.

One of the director favorites is learning choreography for the

upcoming performance season.

Classes offered included: hip hop, jazz, kick, lyrical, pom, musical theater, ballet, and novelty.

Julie Davidge, the Just For Kix Youth Programs manager, said the overall experience allows for the directors to come to Brainerd to collaborate and engage with the directors from across the country. “Bringing all of our directors together is a highlight of our year. We take care of business for the upcoming season and discuss ways to continue to inspire and motivate our dancers,” Davidge said.

New scholarship for R-P students honors Art Miller The Rushford Community Foundation is pleased to announce the establishment of The Arthur Miller Community Service Scholarship to be awarded for the first time in spring of 2016.

The scholarship was established by family and friends of Arthur Miller (1908-2005) and the Rushford Area Community Foundation to honor the life and memory of this dedicated public servant who did so much for the Rushford area.

It is also intended to honor the selfless spirit of volunteerism like

that of the hundreds of friends, relatives, and strangers who came to Rushford’s aid for months following the flood of 2007.

Rushford-Peterson seniors will be invited to apply beginning in early 2016. The recipient will be selected on the basis of academic merit, a history of community service volunteer activities, and, especially, on a one-page essay described in the application.

One scholarship of $1,000 will be awarded and paid directly to the post-secondary school chosen by the recipient to be used for tuition and other college fees.

Miller lived an active life as a businessman, public servant, U.S. Naval Officer, health care administrator and newspaper columnist. Those lucky enough to have known him recall a man who embodied the spirit of community service. Miller served terms as mayor and councilman, county commissioner, and more.

Miller’s love for his community

was evident in the newspaper columns he wrote later in life where he commented on local issues and reminisced about the past. He was a mentor and friend to several generations.

Giving back to his community through volunteerism was a priority to Mr. Miller. Just two years after his death, the Rushford community experienced firsthand the miracle of volunteers following the flood of 2007. This flood resulted in over two-thirds of homes being affected, as well as nearly all local businesses. Immediately after this tragedy struck, volunteers starting pouring into town to help with clean-up and eventual rebuilding. The city owes a debt of gratitude that can never really be repaid to these hundreds of people, many of whose names will never be known, who came from all parts of the United States to help in our time of need.

SEMAC awards arts grants On August 18, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council (SEMAC) awarded 21 grants for a total of $93,910 in funding to applicants throughout southeastern Minn. This included ten Individual Artist grants for $50,000 and 11 General Operating Support grants to arts organizations for $43,910.

socialscenes Real Bites

By Jason Sethre

Meat and music To quote Billy Crystal acting as Larry in Throw Momma from the Train, “The night was sultry.” Yes, a little humid, so maybe sultry is an overstatement.

On the eve of Friday, August 21, 2015, I had a hankering to venture out to Onion Fest at Dream Acres in rural Wykoff (Fillmore). My wife and I had never been to Dream Acres, and I thought it might be a nice little getaway for our family on

a Friday night.

After navigating the windy roads of County 8, we arrived to find a long line of vehicles occupying both sides of the highway. I’m going to take a wild guess on this and estimate that there were more than 150 vehicles filling the roadsides, driveway, and grassy areas available on the property of Dream Acres.

Since we had never been to Dream Acres before, we weren’t quite sure of where to go as we

Engagement

McCabe ~ Hareldson Jerry and Kim McCabe of Lanesboro and Diane Hareldson of Preston proudly announce the engagement and upcoming wedding of their children, Samantha Jean McCabe and Caleb Joshua Hareldson.

Samantha is a resident assistant at Traditions in Preston and a bartender at the Root River Saloon in Lanesboro.

Caleb is a laborer with Mastec of Rochester.

walked down the driveway.

To our right, we saw a small building with a sign that said, “The Inconvenience Store”. We talked about it, but didn’t stop to check it out. We were more concerned with finding a seat and ordering a pizza.

As we moved in the direction of a hillside where a large crowd was congregating, a young man greeted us and explained that they were out of pizzas but still had other baked goods.

Onion Fest started at 5 p.m. and we didn’t arrive until about 6:40 p.m. The young man told us that they normally make about 70 pizzas, and they had already sold 100 pizzas. They were sold out.

OK, now we had to refer to a back-up plan, because this was part of our supper plans.

So, we debated two restaurants in which we had not visited. It was either Estelle’s Eatery in Harmony or Smokey

River BBQ in Lanesboro. Both were a hike from Dream Acres, and we decided that we wanted to come back for the surprise performance at the barn that was scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m.

We flipped a coin, and that coin led us to Lanesboro.

When we arrived at Smokey River BBQ, I saw brisket on the menu, my mind was madeup. The best brisket I had ever eaten was made by my neighbor, Rick Dahly. And, I don’t recall having brisket ever since, so I was long overdue for a dose of brisket.

My wife and children ordered their meals, which were hearty.

When my brisket dinner was presented, I couldn’t believe the amount of meat I was about to devour. Seriously, I’m guessing there was one pound of meat staring right back at me. In addition, I loaded up with two hot sides of beans and potatoes.

Throughout our supper, my wife kept commenting on the portions.

OK, for those of you looking for man-sized portions, Smokey River BBQ is the place to earn your man card. After consuming my brisket dinner, I was ready to grow a beard, enter a lumberjack contest, and then build a log cabin by hand.

But, instead, we loaded up our family in our vehicle and roadtripped back to Dream Acres for the big show.

Upon our arrival, we realized there were even more people there than when we first visited.

We could hear the show from the road, and we couldn’t wait to see what Onion Fest was all about.

Along with others arriving for the show, we brought chairs and blankets. When we got settled in, we scanned the crowd and noticed people from all over the area. I saw friends from Preston, Lime Springs, Chatfield, and Peterson. And, there were many others I didn’t recognize.

The show was underway, and hillside crowd was glued to the performance. I’m not going to give anything away, but I will tell you that it was interactive and very entertaining. You’d have to see the show to appreciate it.

While watching the show, a gentleman was announcing to the crowd that a pizza was ready.

He’d yell the name of the person who ordered the pizza, and someone would claim it.

As we watched the pizzas pass us by, my wife and I kept talking about how we need to come back to Dream Acres to try their pizza. These pizzas were huge and looked delicious.

We already decided that we need to make it a point to arrive earlier next time, and we’d like to visit Dream Acres again yet this year. Unfortunately, we only have so many weeks left before their season comes to a close. According to the Dream Acres calendar, they have an event with wood-fired pizza every Friday night until October 30, 2015.

So, we’ll put Dream Acres on our list again. And, between now and then we need to visit Estelle’s Eatery in Harmony.

The days and weeks seem to fly by, but there’s always time for good eats, right? If not, then we’d better make time.

Recycling 101

By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator I recently wrote several articles concerning the different types of recyclables in Fillmore County.

I continue to get questions concerning what is recyclable and what is not. Today I am going to discuss this once again in a shorter form. I hope this answers a few more of your questions.

When I walked into LaVerne C. Paulson the Recycling Center today, I was greeted by a full bin of recyclables. From what I saw,

Monday, September 7, 2015

at least seventy-five percent of the content would be cardboard.

However, I know that mixed in with hundreds and hundreds of pounds of cardboard are the bottles, cans, other forms of paper.

I saw only one black plastic bag, one piece of styrofoam, and no plastic grocery bags. To a recycling person, it was a more than welcome sight. It was a bin of very clean recyclable material to be shipped off to the Twin Cities to be made into new boxes, bottles, cans, and various other items.

When recycling different forms of paper, please keep in mind that all clean cardboard is recyclable. However, any paper box or carton that is meant to be kept in the refrigerator or freezer is not. That thin plastic coating to keep them from falling apart doesn’t recycle. The fibers in egg cartons have lived their seven

New county highway map

By Karen Reisner The county board approved the printing of 5,000 copies of the new official Fillmore County Highway/Tourism Map at their September 1 meeting. The new maps will soon be available at a cost of $3 per map. Commissioner Harry Root was absent.

County engineer Ron Gregg reported that all corrections have been made. Business Impact

Group (BIG) charged $4,285 to design and create the map. The maps will be printed at a cost of 63 cents per copy.

The county now owns the digital map files which can be updated at a reduced cost when the map supply runs out.

2016 budget Ron Gregg maintained that the Highway Department has completed a lot of projects in

take care of that with a neat ringremoving tool.

Again, as I mentioned last month, do not use plastic bags of any kind for your curbside recycling, do not throw recyclables in plastic bags into the county containers, and do not throw plastic bags filled with recyclables into the bins here at the recycling center. All plastic bags should be taken home, landfilled, or taken back to a store that collects them for recycling.

Some styrofoam has a chasing arrow symbol on it. The number inside the symbol is “4”. It is not recyclable in Fillmore County.

It must go into the landfill. I have read there is a place in the Twin Cities that bales styrofoam and sends it someplace to be recycled. It is not feasible to send a truck from Fillmore County to the Twin Cities with a load of

foam. Try to use as little styrofoam as possible, as in coffee cups and carry out boxes. Styrofoam takes up a lot of space in landfills and it take years and years for it to decompose. Burning it is certainly not an option.

There are several other topics I would like to discuss with you at this time, but they will have to wait until the next article in a few weeks.

For you who bring your clothes and such to the Salvation Army containers here, there are now larger signs above the containers with larger print that are much easier to read.

The fall Hazardous Household Waste Day is scheduled for October 6 from noon until 5 p.m. It is not too soon to start gathering your unwanted and unneeded stuff and get it out of your house.

recent years. This year they have rehabilitated 14.5 miles of road, replaced six bridges, and improved a section of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 8 with Local Road Improvement funds. In 2014 municipal projects were completed in Preston, Spring Valley, and Harmony. In 2016 the first of three phases of CSAH 1 north of Spring Valley and CSAH 3 through Ostrander are scheduled to be done.

The Local Option Sales Tax

was approved in 2014. Collection of the tax began in January to improve roads and bridges that do not receive state funding. About $325,000 has been collected as of the end of July and Gregg anticipates about $600,000 to be collected during all of 2015. This money is expected to be used to replace two bridges and to seal coat eight miles of road. Gregg told the board that he appreciated their

support.

Included in the Highway Department’s 2016 budget was funding for an additional hire for the department, an engineering tech. The department’s budget includes funding to purchase a new tandem truck, a pull behind roller, and a wheel loader.

Veterans Service Officer Jason Marquardt asked that his position be taken from .8 to ful-time.

Don’t forget to recycle your empty paper towel rolls and toilet tissue rolls, as well as bath soap boxes and wrappers. In the last month, we have had hundreds of books, hard cover and paperback alike, dropped off. Yes, they are recyclable.

Questions still arise concerning plastic bottles, plastic jars, and other plastic containers. If there is a “1” or a “2” on the bottom of the container inside the “chasing arrows”, it is recyclable. Any plastic caps and covers must be sent to landfill. The little rings below the cap can stay on the bottle. It is too dangerous to try to cut them off.

He said he would be willing to decline health insurance from the county, which would make the change in hours almost a “wash” in cost. Community services director Beth Wilms expects that the opening of the State Veterans Cemetery next fall will initially increase traffic in the Veterans Office.

Other departmental budget requests reviewed included Airport, Public Health, and Human Services. Lantha Stevens, Public Health, noted that her department provides the only homemaker services in the county. Revenues are down for this. Commis-

sioner Randy Dahl commented that we know what we should be getting for reimbursements which is not what we actually are getting. Vickerman said we need to capture every dollar where we can. Some departments have increased revenues to offset expanses. She expects the budget can be cut with some adjustments in Human Services and fuel expense reductions in the Highway Department.

Wilms noted that the only increased allocation from the Department of Human Services is for Child Protection.

Chairman Duane Bakke said we are “still not where we want to be on the levy.” He questioned whether the levy will have to

be higher to offset the reductions in County Program Aid from the state. CPA has been reduced $76,735 for 2016 on top of a reduction of $140,000 for this year. Dahl maintained that the state aid reductions over the last few years are significant.

He suggested it will take a 4% increase to keep moving forward, anything less will require cutting somewhere.

As of September 1, if all departmental budget requests were granted, the levy increase for 2016 would be over 11%. County coordinator Bobbie Vickerman suggested adjustments to bring the levy increase to about 5%.

This would require reducing the proposed budget by $585,647.

Additional personnel requests by department heads included a full-time engineer tech (Highway), full time security officer (Sheriff), full-time tech (Information Systems), and .8 to fulltime VSO (Veterans). The cost to complete all the personnel additions or changes would be $220,225 for wages and benefits.

Vickerman said a 10% reduction in health insurance is already shown in the numbers. The reduction was due to the median age of employees. Vickerman will work with some of the department heads to identify some additional ways to reduce 2016 proposed budget numbers in the coming week.

Ask a Trooper

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Has the law requiring vehicles operated on roadways to have sound suppression devices (mufflers) been Troy H. changed?

Christianson I see vehicles with straight pipes, motorcycles with straight pipes, and hear many others that sound as if they have no suppression.

If the law is there, why is it not enforced?

Answer: The law has not changed. This is what the Minn. State Statute 169.69 states: “Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with a muffler in good work-

Monday, September 7, 2015

ing order which blends the exhaust noise into the overall vehicle noise and is in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise, and no person shall use a muffler cutout, bypass, or similar device upon a motor vehicle on a street or highway. The exhaust system shall not emit or produce a sharp popping or crackling sound. Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with such parts and equipment so arranged and kept in such state of repair as to prevent carbon monoxide gas from entering the interior of the vehicle. No person shall have for sale, sell, or offer for sale or use on any motor vehicle any muffler that fails to comply with the specifications as required by the commissioner of public safety.”

The law does not specifically answer how loud a motorized vehicle can be, but it

does say that a vehicle must have a good working muffler that prevents “excessive or unusual noise”. So any cutouts or bypasses, straight pipes, or rusted out mufflers and exhaust with holes are all illegal. After market mufflers, sometimes called “glass packs” or “cherry bombs”, can be an issue as they may produce “a sharp popping or crackling sound”.

Some counties and cities have local noise ordinances. Some of these cover the amount of noise, duration of noise, and source sound other than ambient noise that affect residents. A noise ordinance defines which sounds are and are not acceptable at any given time so that residents can live comfortably with the sounds that they hear. Some of these are effective during certain times of the day, usually applying at night. So depending on

Can you zone promotions per Zip Code?

Yes, we do it all the time for businesses and organizations all throughout Fillmore County. And, we only charge a fraction of what the USPS charges with their Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) program.

If you were to insert a single sheet (8-1/2” x 11”) promotion in our newspaper, the cost of insertion would be 5.25 cents each. Meanwhile, the USPS would charge you over 18.2 cents per piece for the same size promotion. So, we are only charging 29% of what you would pay for the same marketing piece to reach the exact same households with a zoned Zip Code program. If you have any questions about our zoned Zip Code program, please contact me at 507-765-2151. I will gladly explain your options for target marketing at a Zip Code level.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

Smithsonian exhibit debuts in Minn.: connects communities through water and the humanities Minn. is the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Water is a part of our identity, our culture, and our history. Water/Ways, a new and exciting exhibition and community engagement tool from the Smithsonian’s “Museum on Main Street” (MoMS) initiative in partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center, will be touring greater Minn. communities in 2016-2017. The initiative is designed to reconnect Minnesotans to our water and the need to become more actively involved in its protection by using, in addition to science, the tools of story, history, faith, ethics, and the arts.

Minn. is one of only five states chosen by the Smithsonian to launch this new traveling exhibit. Beginning in June 2016, the Water/Ways tour will start in New London/Spicer. Six greater Minn. communities will explore the meaning of water - by telling their local water stories and collectively envisioning their water future. The Minn. host sites for Water/Ways are: • New London/Spicer (Kandiyohi County) Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center. June 25 - Aug. 7, 2016 • St. Peter (Nicollet County) Nicollet County Historical Society. Aug. 13 - Sept. 25, 2016 • Red Wing (Goodhue County) Goodhue County Historical Society. Oct. 1 - Nov. 13,

2016 • Sandstone/Pine City (Pine County) Audubon Center of the North Woods. Nov. 19, 2016 - Jan. 1, 2017 • Lanesboro (Fillmore County) Lanesboro Arts. Jan. 7 - Feb. 19, 2017 • Detroit Lakes (Becker County) Becker County Historical Society. Feb. 25 - Apr. 9, 2017 “Water/Ways is a conversation about water, a series of events in our host communities, and a collection of educational resources.

It encompasses the community of communities through our shared resource-water,” stresses David O’Fallon, President of the Humanities Center. “This is not just an exhibit.”

Water/Ways reveals the central nature of water in our lives by exploring how Americans use water, how water unites communities, how water affects every element of life, and how Americans care for our water and protect this valuable resource for the future. The MoMS program is a partnership of the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and state humanities councils. MoMS engages small town audiences by bringing Smithsonian traveling exhibits like Water/Ways to their communities. Through a year-long engagement process before the Smithsonian exhibit arrives, communities will con-

vene leadership across sectors, create companion exhibitions, and conduct local story-collecting initiatives. Host communities will also create media projects to facilitate communitywide conversations and develop high-profile programs, events, and stewardship projects about water and its value to the community and the state. The support and dedication of Water/ Ways’ key local partners-the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS), and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH)-will frame and continue the discussion and community involvement around water long after Water/ Ways has visited.

“Minnesota’s water quality has come a long way from the days when raw sewage flowed untreated into rivers, but there is still a lot of work to be done,” said Britt Gangeness of the MPCA. “Protecting water is a complex problem, but when people work together using scientific knowledge, local solutions and community networks we can make progress. The community networks and cultural perspectives that are a part of the Water/Ways project are crucial steps for getting there.

Water/Ways will tour Minn. from June 25, 2016 through April 9, 2017. For more infor-
