Preston, home of The Driftless Fly Fishing Co. By Barb Jeffers barb@fillmorecountyjournal.com
This is no fish tale. There is a new business in Preston, Minn. that may reel you in hook, line, and sinker. Well hook and line anyway. No sinkers involved here. If you, a friend or family member loves to fly fish or have always wanted to learn now is the time and The Driftless Fly Fishing Co. is the place. Melvin Hayner has loved fly fishing his entire life, learning from his grandfather who was a fly tier and fly fisherman. At the age of 9 Melvin learned to tie flies and has never stopped. Originally from Oregon and then living in Michigan he moved to Minnesota and has been fishing the southeast area of the state for the last 22 years. With all of Melvin’s knowledge and love of the sport of fly fishing, it naturally progressed to Melvin who started his web-
site minnesotaflyfishing.com in 2004 along with starting a guide service for people interested in learning to fly fish or those who know how to fly fish that like to have an experienced guide along with them. For the last 10 years Melvin has been thinking about buying a building and opening The Driftless Fly Fishing Co. but was waiting for the time to be right. With his children grown, a new job in Rochester, and the perfect building available, Melvin felt everything was coming together to open the business he has been thinking about for so long. The Driftless Fly Fishing Co. offers guided fly fishing trips in southeast Minnesota including the South Branch of the Root River, which is listed in Trout Unlimited’s Book of America’s 100 Best Trout Streams, according to Melvin. Preston Area Chamber of Commerce members welcomed Melvin Hayner, owner of The Driftless Fly Fishing Company, with a ribbon cutting on April 4. See FLY FISHING Page 2 Photo Mitchell Walbridge

All gear, flies, tackle, personal instruction, digital photos of your catch, and streamside lunch are provided with each trip. Families are welcome whether beginners or experts in fly fishing. Melvin is a family oriented and patient instructor who enjoys teaching the art of fly fishing to persons of any age. Melvin has received prestigious guide endorsement from The Orvis Company, and The Driftless Fly Fishing Co. is the only authorized Orvis dealer in southeast Minnesota and Hayner is one of only two Orvis endorsed guides in Minnesota. The Orvis Company began in Vermont in 1856 and is one of the oldest fly fishing companies in America. The Orvis Company has grown to have endorsed lodges and guides around the world. Orvis is committed to conservation, says Melvin, adding that the Orvis company donates 5

percent of its pretax profits to conservation causes and organizations. The endorsement by the Orvis Company is of great importance as it brings The Driftless Fly Fishing Co. and the city of Preston to the eyes of the international community. When anyone in the world looks up information about where to find a guide endorsed by the Orvis Company or to find the Orvis brand of equipment and accessories, The Driftless Fly Fishing Co. in Preston will appear along with others from all around the world. Streamside lunches include sandwiches, chips and salsa, desserts and drinks. Once in awhile on colder rainy days Melvin says they have been known to break out the grill and cook up some brats as well. While enjoying lunch Melvin and his clients discuss techniques, flies, weather conditions, etc. Spending a day on the water in an 18 foot Old Towne canoe with family and friends while

learning the art of fly fishing from an expert, all while enjoying the beauty of southeastern Minnesota, sounds like a perfect day for anyone who loves to fish or loves the outdoors. Hayner states that the Preston EDA, everyone involved in tourism in the area, and the National Trout Center organization have been very welcoming and convinced him that Preston was the right place at the right time. Business has been great since The Driftless Fly Fishing Co. opened. Hayner is beginning to book up for spring and summer guide trips already so if you are interested it is better to book your trip early rather than to wait. Hayner states that The Driftless Fly Fishing Co. will be doing some schools and promotional free lessons during Trout Days in Preston this year, which will be a great experience for novices and experts of fly fishing. At this time hours are 7- 9 p.m. during the week with weekend hours being 8 a.m.-9 p.m. These hours will be extended in the near future. The Driftless Fly Fishing Co. is located at 208 St. Paul Street, Preston, Minn. To book your guided fly fishing trip or for more information visit minnesotaflyfishing.com or email Melvin at melvin@minnesotaflyfishing. com. Melvin’s phone number is (507) 327-4276.

Teal ribbons In 2001, April was first observed nationally as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) and the color teal was chosen as the official color in representing sexual violence awareness and prevention. In communities all over the United States, advocacy programs are making a concerted effort during April by planning activities that will bring awareness and assist in the prevention of sexual violence. Sexual violence is 100% preventable. Statistics show that every two minutes, someone in the United States is sexually assaulted and that 44 percent of victims are under the age of 18. Together we have the power to change those statistics and together we can take
a stand to end sexual violence. To honor the victims of sexual violence, DFO Victim Services and Fillmore Family Advocates, with the support of our area city councils, have hung teal ribbons in nearly every town within Fillmore County as a visual reminder of SAAM. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted or would like to talk with someone, please contact DFO Victim Services at 507-765-2805 or our 24 hour crisis line at 1-877-2890636.

Early the next morning, the TriCity Challenge, a run, bike, and golf triathlon gets under way. The event, developed in two tiers depending on length, is held on the paved Root River State Trail. Tier 1 encompasses a 4.7 mile run and 24 mile bike ride, while Tier 2 is a more moderate 2 mile run and 12 mile bike. Both tiers end with play of 9 holes golf at Ferndale Country Club.

In the relay, the events will be split between the three participants. “This option allows people to take on events they want, with one running, one biking, and one golfing. It would be great to have something like three generations of a family take it on,” adds Ledebuhr. Check-in for the triathlon begins at 7 a.m. at the Rushford Depot. Participants will leave their bikes and be transported to their designated start point in Peterson where the run portion will begin. Following the run returning to the depot, the bicycle segment will commence. Depending on the chosen tier, the ride will head to either the Root River Trail bridge between Rushford

Pieper endorsed for Minnesota State House 28B Jon Pieper received the DFL House District 28B endorsement in Rushford on Saturday, April 5, 2014. Pieper and his wife Sarah own the Old Village Hall Restaurant in Lanesboro, Minn. They have three children attending school in the Lanesboro School District. Pieper also owns a farm in Jefferson Township, Houston County. Dennis DeKeyrel, Senate District 28 and Fillmore County DFL chairman from Harmony, cited Pieper’s business and family background as strengths of his campaign. “Jon and Sarah were both born and raised in southeast Minnesota. They are the parents of three school age children, and like all parents and grandparents, Jon and Sarah want what’s best for their children. Jon owns a popu-
lar, well-established restaurant in Lanesboro. He understands the importance of balancing property taxes and the cost of the infrastructure it takes to grow and support businesses. Jon’s family has lived in the area for four generations, and he’s committed to making sure it remains a place where the next generation of his family and our families and can live and prosper.” Julia Massman, Democratic National Delegate from Caledonia, Minn., emphasized Pieper’s family and farming background. “Perhaps some of you don’t know Jon, but my husband and I know him as a part of the farm family of Bernie and Wanda Pieper of Caledonia. They are fine people. You would be proud of Jon to represent you in St. Paul.”

C ommentary One Moment, Please... Congratulations Abigail Hanson By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal Cell: 507-251-5297 jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com I would like to be the first to publicly congratulate Abigail Hanson, a senior at Mabel-Canton High School, for being selected as the recipient of the Jason Sethre 2014 Journal StudentWriting Project Scholarship. Since 2010, the Fillmore County Journal has contributed a combined $2,500 to the collegiate aspirations of Abby Stocker (Lanesboro), Kevin O’Donnell (Rushford-Peterson),
Jennifer Quanrud (Fillmore Central), Mitchell Walbridge (Lanesboro), and Cody Hendrickson (Fillmore Central). Each of these graduates has received $500 from the Journal to use toward their college education. This scholarship opportunity is easily narrowed to a select few because only those who participate in the annual Journal Student Writing Project are eligible and may apply for the scholarship. Journal Student Writing Project Now in its fifteenth year, we worked with eight students from area schools this year. We always encourage participation from the English departments of all area schools, since this presents an opportunity for stu-
Journal Writing Project:
How is my community unique? By Abigail Hanson What images and memories do you recall when you think of fall? Many might say the fall colors on the trees, while others think of the cool weather, hot cocoa and soup. Maybe you think of the Abigail Hanson apples and pumpkins ripening in the trees and fields, or the fun you’ve had while picking them! You could think of the delicious foods you can make with them, such as apple pie, apple cider, apple crisp, and caramel apples along with pumpkin pie, frosted pumpkin bars and roasted Editorial Cartoon
pumpkin seeds. I think of the fall foods because my passion for baking started with fall baking when I was a young girl, and it is still with me today. I remember my family going out and we would pick apples in the orchard, always wanting to pick the best, the reddest or the highest in the trees. I also remember going to buy pumpkins and picking the biggest one from the field. I remember carving pumpkins and baking pies, cakes and cookies with my mom, sisters, grandmas, cousins and aunts! The house always smelled wonderful when the pumpkin pie was baking, and we would always sneak a taste of the frosting for the pumpkin bars as we frosted
dents to learn how to relate to audiences while expressing their opinions. In a way, the Journal Student Writing Project is an education itself -- monitored by a panel of over 24,000 print readers and endless online readers. What we say in print has more staying power than what gets shared on the Internet (even on Facebook!), and it always comes with greater responsibility. Ultimately, print journalism is held more accountable than most other media; especially online only. The participants of the Journal Student Writing Project are often wearing their opinions on their sleeves and putting themselves out there in front of critics abound. But, this boldness and thoughtful approach takes courage, and this is what all of us need to consider when expressing our opinions. Many people will never write a Letter to the Editor, while a select
few will write many. When we broadcast our messages, we need to realize the significance. What we say matters. All of us. But, we also need to realize is that it defines us in the eyes of our observers. How do we want to be perceived? Hopefully, this year’s group of Journal Student Writing Project participants experienced feedback from what they shared in the pages of this newspaper. Whether friends, family, teachers, or a complete stranger, hopefully someone gave them some food for thought or encouragement. If you will be a senior in the next school year at a high school in our circulation area, please keep your eyes open for the Journal Student Writing Project scholarship opportunity. Usually, we begin promoting the program in August of each year. This Year’s Recipient Abigail Hanson was selected as this year’s recipient of the
them! My grandma would let us use her Kitchen Aid mixer to mix the cookie dough, cake mix or frosting. As I said, I love to bake and cook, too! So, of course, the food and baking is my favorite part of fall. Although I enjoy baking a good, old, delicious smelling apple or pumpkin pie, I also like to try new recipes! Some of the recipes I enjoy trying include a creamy pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin cupcakes, moist chocolate chip pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes, sweet pumpkin cinnamon rolls, pumpkin cookies, smooth pumpkin parfaits, apple cider pancakes, apple bread, apple pie cheesecake, apple donuts, frozen apple sundaes, a gooey caramel apple parfait, or apple cookies! These aren’t traditional recipes for most people, but that is what I love about them! I like to
try new things, so that maybe someday I can make these recipes traditions of my own. With Thanksgiving coming up I hope that you will try a new recipe to share with friends and family like I have done in my past so that maybe you can start a new tradition too. I love baking and I hope you do too! The only difference between when I was young and now is that now I have a Kitchen Aid mixer of my own! Abigail Hanson is a senior at Mabel-Canton High School. She is one of 8 area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its fifteenth year.

C ommentary One good turn By Eric Leitzen After six years of searching following my graduation from college and my semester of student teaching, I have landed a full time job. Despite five years experience as a teacher, the position is not in education due to both a cultural and governmental Eric Leitzen shift against the liberal arts and social sciences, along with education in general. I and others like me entered college with the promise of teaching jobs more plentiful than the buffalo of old, but when we exited college we’d found that Buffalo Bill Bear Stearns and the Wild Lehman Brothers had all but wiped the jobs out. As such, I spent the next halfdecade in limbo, and am finally hopeful and excited about my new full-time job in logistics in the field of organic produce. Finally, at age 28 3/4, my wife and I can settle down and start a family. We’re not the first generation to have these problems. My grandparents fought through Hell on Earth in World War II, and before that spat in the face of the Great Depression to finally come out on top, in their little houses made of ticky-tacky and their picket fences and RCA Victor television sets and Tang and Ozzie & Harriet. My generation, the Millennials, have spent the years since the Financial Meltdown of 2007-2008 being tortured by society around

PAUL, Minn. – Senator Jeremy Miller of Winona, Minn. plans to take advantage of the state legislature’s Easter/Passover break next week to travel around Senate District 28 and meet with residents, schools, businesses and nursing homes. “Meeting with and listening to the people who are directly impacted by state laws and regulations and working together to find workable solutions is a critical part of the legislative process and one that I really enjoy,” said
Miller. “Many of the residents I will be meeting with have called my office, emailed in and have even visited me at the Capitol to share their stories. It is very refreshing for me to be able to visit with them in district and get a firsthand look at how legislation affects their businesses, schools and communities.” Senator Miller’s schedule is as follows: Tuesday, April 15: •2 p.m. Sauer Health Care, Winona

Fillmore County Sports Spring Sports Preview
By Paul Trende Baseball Preview Last year’s baseball season ended with upstart Fillmore Central/Lanesboro making a surprise trip to Austin. They were the last county ‘ball’ team standing. But the Falcons, and four of the other five Fillmore County Journal covered baseball squads, finished below five hundred for the season. It means there is certainly room for improvement in 2014. Chatfield baseball highlights the county’s diamond action. The Gophers, under Brian Baum, were the only plus-500 team (11-7). Their campaign ended with a loss to FC/L in the third game of the 1A East tournament. With their entire pitching rotation returning intact, Chatfield should again be very competitive. Fourthyear players, seniors, Nate Skare (P/1B) and Jake Neis (P/SS) lead the way. Skare is one of the best throwers in the 3-Rivers, Neis one of the best shortstops and lead-off men. Junior Tommy Jech (1B) rounds of the pitching triumvirate. The Gophers also have experienced players in Zach Eggers (Sr. IF), Drew Hurley (Jr. IF), Noah Grant (Sr. IF), Sawyer Prinsen (Sr. C, if his back is healed) and Ben Pierce (Sr. OF). Keith Larson’s FC/L Falcons are pretty much void of varsity pitching experience. Nick Ebner and Jake Tammel graduated, and Josh Jones is out with an injury. FC/L also lost starting shortstop and lead-off man Niko Anderson to track. The Falcons will thus be led by returning senior starters Andy Love (3B), who has a propensity to get on base, Clay Olson (C), Nick Powell (OF) and Garret Boggs (2B). After that, it will be all new or nearly new guys. The Falcons started last season 2-10, then went 3-2 in the play-offs. They lost to Hayfield in the Sectional final four and were 1A East runner-ups (5-12).
The GMLOK Bulldogs, after a one-win in 2012, doubled their total in 2013 under first year coach Brad Reiter. They finished 2-11, losing to Lake City in the 1AA East quarters. One of their two wins was over state consolation winner WabashaKellogg. Senior Isaac Tangen pitched that win and is back. Trenton Bleifus (senior, SS/P), a four-year player, also returns as an offensive- Trenton Bleifus defensive anchor. Quinn Larson (So. OF), Blake Olson (Jr. 2B), Josh Shorter (So. C), Doug Sabatke (Sr. DH/1B), Wyatt Richardson (Jr. OF), and Isiah Bubany (Jr. P/OF) also played or started a season ago. Jacob Rindels (Jr. IF) is back after playing as a frosh. In Rushford, the Trojans went 3-11 last season, losing to FC/L in the 1A East quarters. Head Coach Dan Mlsna’s top player is ace pitcher and (probably) best hitter Cale Stensgard, a third-year guy. Fellow seniors Riley Vitse (OF) and Ross Anderson (1B) also started a year ago, as did Jonnie Koenen (Jr. IF). Vitse Cale Stensgard was part of the Trojans’ pitching rotation. Parker Dittman (Sr.), Logan Dittman (Sr.), and Mason McManimon-Myers (So.) also saw action in 2013. The Trojans will be minus one key returning starter. Zach Ansell (Jr.) is out with a knee injury. In the SEC, Mabel-Canton went 3-13 a season ago and lost to W-K in the 1A quarters. Houston went 3-11 and lost to Chatfield in the 1A quarters. The Cougars will be led
by seniors Noah Manning and Collin O’Bieglo. Juniors Keyser Wenthold, Wesley Richert, and Jon Selness are also key returning players. Houston will be led by the large senior corps of Christian Sires, Peter Jergenson, Evan Scheck, Brady Ramin-Pierce, Mason Drake, Tyler Hoskins, Chase Krenzke, and Dylan Lee. M-C is coached by Karl Urbaniak, Houston Jason Carrier. The teams comprise half of the SEC schools with stand-alone baseball programs (Lyle/Pacelli and Schaeffer Academy). The ‘Canes’ three wins last season were against M-C while two of M-C’s three wins were against Houston. Softball Preview A season ago, softball outshined baseball in the county. The girls out-won their analogous boys at every school. Chatfield, FC/L, Houston, and RushfordPeterson all finished above five hundred. Yet, the play-offs were a disappointment for nearly all. After starting 12-0, earning a state ranking, winning the TRC South, and finishing the regular season 16-2, the Chatfield Gophers were three-and-done (17-4). FC/L, after a 13-3 regular season, was one-and-done, as was Rushford-Peterson (10-9). Only Houston (13-5) made a deep play-off run. The Hurricanes finished the season as 1A East runners-up. They made it to Austin, losing to Hayfield in the ‘one-loss’ game. Houston has a new coach in Dean Sonsalla. They have the same pitcher in Abbey Loken. The hard-throwing senior can keep the ‘Canes competitive nearly single-handedly. She’ll throw to battery mate Becca Proudfoot (Sr. C), two of only three seniors on the squad. Alexa Horihan (Jr. 3B), who hit second a year ago, Morgan Beckman (Fr. OF), and Lizzy Tippery (Jr. OF) also return. Tippery and Horihan are the only two juniors. Houston has just six sophomore, juniors, and seniors combined. Chatfield’s Jeff Johnson is probably one of the more blessed coaches in the area. On top of a state champion football team, he has a very experienced and talented softball team. His pitching rotation returns intact, with Brook Irish (Jr. 1B/OF) and Jennifer Hanson (Sr.) leading the way. He has strength up the middle, with Shelby Bernard (Jr. third year starter) behind the Sidney Irish plate, Sidney Irish (Sr. fourth year) at shortstop, and Kirsten Keefe (Jr. fourth year) in centerfield. Megan LaPlante (So. 3B) and Maddy Larrabee (Jr. OF) also are returning starters. The Gophers hit the crap out of the ball early last year. They should again be a 3-Rivers favorite, a Sub-Section
favorite. As experienced as they are, Sidney Irish and Hanson are the only seniors. Fillmore Central/Lanesboro and Rushford-Peterson’s seasons’ each start with an oddity. Each doesn’t return a would-be returning all-conference player (R-P Kendra Crawford, FC/L Taylor Case). The Falcons will ride the arm of fourth-year junior pitcher Morgan Malley, who doubles as lead-off girl. Helping head coach Tris Tollefson in the hitting department is Taylor PierceSprenger (OF), who was a good bat as just a frosh. Steph Erickson (Jr. Morgan Malley SS/second P) is also a key player. Kaitlynn Aug (Jr. 1B), Shelby Ebner (So. C), Gabby Brazee (So. 3B), and Megan Hendrickson (So. 2B) also saw action a year ago. The Falcons are senior-less with seven juniors. For Jeremy Tesch’s Trojans, senior third-year catcher Keela Brand leads the way. She is R-P’s best bat, though sophomore Lauren Hadley (OF) can also smack the ball. Haley Mueller (OF) and Hunter Dunbar (1B) are a pair of seniors with experience. Brooke Johnson (So. IF) also played in 2013. She is one of three Trojans (Savannah Skalet, Kayla Hanson) with ‘P’ next to their name on the mshsl. org webpage (replacements for Crawford on the mound). The Trojans are very young. Brand, Mueller, and Dunbar are the only upperclassmen (juniors or seniors). In Spring Valley, John Fenske’s GMLOK Bulldogs lost to Caledonia-Spring Grove in the 1AA East quarters last year. They finished at 3-17. The ‘Dogs have four girls who enter their third year of varsity action. Seniors Haley Colton (3B), Rialie Fenske (C), and Kailynn Hamersma (OF), and junior Jamie Stevens (P/IF), give Fenske an experienced nucleus. Hannah Corson (Sr. OF), Shelby Erding (Sr. OF), Taylor Sanford (Sr. IF), Alayna Meskill (Fr. P), and Courtney Schmidt (Fr. IF) also have had lots of diamond time. Meskill pitched, and Schmidt led-off and played shortstop, as 8th graders. The Bulldogs have six seniors, more than FC/L, R-P, and Chatfield put together. In Mabel, Kati Tweeten has good numbers in Cougar-land including six seniors and five
juniors. M-C went 4-11 last year, losing to Chatfield in the 1A East quarters. They return eight of nine starters, a cast headed by 1-5 hitters Coranda Vickerman (Fr. IF), Abby Hanson (Sr. SS), Lydia Geving (Sr. C), Hannah Nolte (Jr. 3B), and Ashlyn Dahl (Jr. 2B). After that, Chelcie Busch (Jr. OF), Kourtney Coyle (Sr. OF), and Sara Lind (Sr. P) also return. Lind was M-C’s pitcher a year ago. The Cougars are one of three SEC schools with a softball team (Houston, Glenville-Emmons). Track and Field Preview A year ago, seven county athletes participated in the state track and field meet. Five of those had highly memorable experiences. Six of the seven return this year, highlighting a noteworthy run, jump, and throw scene. In Chatfield, Jeff DeBuhr (now coaching both boys and girls) has the speedy services of Maddy Kammer, Autum Erickson, and Ashley Baker, the powerful (and speedy) services of Jayme LaPlante, back (among others). Kammer was 400-meter section and state champ. With Erickson, Baker, and Mariah Bell (who is out with a knee injury, likely to be replaced my Maddie Talamantes), the foursome was 4x200 section and state champs. Maddy Kammer They also took 4th at sections in the 4x100. Baker (3rd) and Erickson (4th) were top five finishers at the sectional individual 100-meters as well. Karen Gomez-Ruiz (6th 3200, 4th 4x800), Talamantes (6th 300-hurdles, 4th 4x800), See SPORTS Page 11

and Mikaela Bray (Pole Vault) were also sectional competitors a year ago. The girl’s squad was Section 1A true team second place. LaPlante, meanwhile, carried the Gopher boys’ torch, qualifying for state at both throw events. He was state runner-up at the discus. Jayme holds (and just reset) the Chatfield discus record. In Rushford, Gary Wade has an army of track athletes (42 guys, 48 girls) for R-P-H. Freshman Noah Carlson was his sole state qualifier. Carlson was Section 1A triple jump champion. He finished 7th at state. He competed in three other sectional events too (5th 400-meters, 4x100 and 4x200 teams). Senior Austin O’Hare looks to cap his exceptional distance career. A two-time crosscountry state entrant, O’Hare just missed trips to state a year ago in the 1,600 (3rd) and 3,200-meters (3rd). Other top male returnees (section 1A qualifiers) are Dan Thorson (4x100, 4x200), Tyler McLellan (Long Jump, 4x100, 4x200), and Matt Culhane (Discus). On the girls’ side of things, Jordan Honken (3rd Pole Vault), Anna Sweet (5th 100-meters), Elizabeth Loken (5th, Discus), and Ashley Agrimson (Long Jump) are the top returnees (section meet qualifiers). The R-P-H girls’ true team placed fifth in 2013. In Lanesboro, the L/FC/M-C track and field program has a new head coach, Jared Pierce (taking over for Lori Anderson). They also had one state entrant a year ago, junior thrower Olivia Haug. Haug was section 1A discus champion. She

Additional returning girls section meet qualifiers are Kiera Olson (3rd 3,200-meters), Kenzie Broadwater (100-meters, Long Jump), Bailey Ruen (1,600-meters), and the 4x800 team (Kendyl Bennett, Sara Ve t t l e s o n Trutza, Leah Ruen, K. Olson). For the boys, only seniors Gabe Decker (3rd Pole Vault) and Olivia Haug Quentin Case (110-hurdles, 300-hurdles, 4x400 team) own the distinction. L/FC/M-C’s boys finished 4th at the true team event last season. In Spring Valley, Amber Uhlenhake’s Kingsland Knights are the opposite of R-P-H. They are less an army and more a small smattering. Junior sprinter Lacey Schwartz (100-meters) and sophomore distance runner Erica Earley (1,600-meters) are the only two returning Knights to have qualified for the Section 1A meet a year ago. Golf Preview The county sent two individuals to the state golf meet in 2013. It returns two state qualifiers (even after one graduated). Hudson Stensgard of R-P and Sam Ross of Houston tied for 4th at the Section 1A meet and thus earned trips to state. Ross finished tied for 27th, Stensgard tied for 52nd. Sam Ross Brad Holten’s Fillmore
Central boys were the last team standing (1A East runner-ups, section 3rd place). The Falcons return top 16 sectional golfers Jordan Miller (9th-tie), who co-medaled at the sub-section meet, Trevor Barnes (12th-tie), and Alex Lange (16th-tie). The Trojans (third), coached by Mike Honken, were two strokes back of FC (second) at the 1A East meet. They beat FC by 14 strokes at the 3-Rivers meet. With Charlie Krambeer, Chad Christian, and Kyle Weidemann back, to go along with Stensgard; R-P and FC again look collision-bound. Lanesboro returns its top golfer, Liam Dorn (12th at sections). Kingsland and Chatfield’s top returnees are less distinguishable. On the girl’s side of things, Fillmore Central headlines the action. The Falcons had five individual sectional qualifiers, and all five return for head coach Lane Powell. Katie Tammel (8th), Laura Donney (9th), and Keeley Tood (13th) placed top 15. Tammel and Donney just missed on trips to state. Grace Miller and Skyelar Veiseth also made the sectional cut. Kingsland will likely not field a complete team, but Karli Bly and Megan Back are good. Bly finished fourth at sub-sections (withdrew from sections). Back took tenth at sections. Chatfield boasts a quality twosome also, Morgan Henry and Paige Isensee. Each finished in the top 20 of the 3-Rivers meet. Isensee qualified for the 1AA section meet. Houston’s top gal golfer Kelly Jerviss (12th as sections) returns. Lanesboro best golfer Johanna Bearson graduated. Rushford-Peterson has a girl’s golf team.

County of Fillmore Third Judicial District Court File 23-CV-14-74 TO: ALL PERSONS WITH A LEGAL INTEREST IN THE PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING DELINQUENT TAX LIST A list of real property in Fillmore County on which delinquent property taxes and penalties are due has been filed with the Court Administrator of Fillmore County. This list is published to inform all persons that the listed property is subject to forfeiture because of delinquent taxes. The property owner, taxpayer, or other interested person must either pay the tax and penalty, plus interest and costs, or file a written objection with the Fillmore County Court Administrator.

Commonweal continues Fillmore/Houston County Free Nights LANESBORO, Minn. — The Commonweal Theatre Company announces performance dates for its 2014 Free County Night Program. Theatre lovers living and/or working in Fillmore or Houston Counties are invited to attend the classic American comedy Arsenic and Old Lace on Thursday, May 15th; the incredible journey of Around The World in 80 Days on Thursday, June 26th; the Tony Award-winning romantic comedy Arcadia on Thursday, September 18th; and the madcap romp Every Christmas Story Ever Told (and then some) on Thursday, November 20. This season the Commonweal is renewing its commitment to
local charities through a “pay it forward” approach. As a nonprofit, the Commonweal relies on generous donations from audiences and corporations to sustain programming; in turn, the Commonweal extends that generosity to the community five nights a year with free tickets. The intention is to remove any cost barrier for Commonweal’s closest neighbors to attend their local professional theatre. The 2014 Season will again take the Pay it Forward concept a step further and encourage patrons to contribute items to a social or service organization chosen specifically based on a theme within each play. The opportunity to
donate will be available for the entire run of each production, but primarily focuses on those patrons who attend the complimentary performances. Previous Pay-It-Forward events have been very successful. In 2013, the Commonweal collected more than 300 books on behalf of The Southeastern Libraries Cooperating, and nearly 100 new art supplies during The Last Night of Ballyhoo, donated to the Mayo Eugenio Litta Children’s Hospital. For the Commonweal’s first production of the season, Brand, the partner charity is The March of Dimes. Donations of new packages of preemie-sized dia-
pers, and/or knit hats and blankets will be welcomed at the theatre from April 10 through June 13. All donations will then be donated to the Neo-Natal Units of Rochester hospitals. All Pay it Forward performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and, while admission is free of charge to residents and employees of Fillmore and Houston counties, seating is limited, and reservations are strongly recommended at least two weeks in advance. There is a limit of four free tickets per household. Free County/Pay it Forward Nights at the Commonweal Theatre are made possible with support from the Houston Dental Clinic, Thrivent Financial
for Lutherans, POET Biorefining, Post-Bulletin, Gundersen Lutheran, Go Yoga Jane, and Rushford Community Foundation. Funding for Commonweal Theatre’s programming is provided in part by a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, through an appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature, a grant from the McKnight Foundation and other private funders. For more information about the 2014 season, visit www.commonwealtheatre.org. To reserve tickets for a free performance, contact the box office at 507-467-2525 or send an email to tickets@commonwealtheatre.org.
Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council receives ExpoCulinaria - an experience of statewide recognition for effective use of legacy funds Taste - to be held May 17 in Rushford WILLMAR, Minn. – Conservation Minnesota and Minnesota Citizens for the Arts recognized the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council on Thursday at Arts Advocacy Day for the impact the organization is having statewide utilizing funds provided by the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. In 2008, the voters of Minnesota overwhelmingly approved the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment which added 3/8 of 1 percent to the state’s sales tax, and dedicated the revenue to projects that would help preserve the state’s arts and outdoors legacy. Since the legacy amendment was voted into existence, Conservation Minnesota and Minnesota Citizens for the
Arts have traveled around the state highlighting the places in the state where the funds are best being put to use to serve the intent of the amendment. Be it with cleaner lakes, expanded trails or public art projects, every resident of Minnesota has benefited from the program. The Minnesota State Arts Board and each of the 11 Regional Arts Councils will get “Legacy Partners” awards for effective and extensive use of public panels to make grant decisions. Between them, the 12 agencies worked with 768 people providing more than 34,000 volunteer hours of expertise on the best use of arts state dollars. These volunteers bring expertise in the arts

and nonprofit management. “Other agencies should look to the Arts Board and Regional Arts Councils on how to effectively use public input in decision making,” said Sheila Smith. “While no process is perfect, their work takes place in transparent, open meetings and has resulted in great impact in arts access statewide.” “For the past few years, our organizations have been singling out communities that have done a good job of utilizing Legacy funds, and this year, we decided to include the State Arts Board and Regional Arts Councils and some other organizations as a nod to the tremendous work they are each doing,” said Paul Austin, Executive Director of Conservation Minnesota. Robin Pearson, Director of the Council, said, “SEMAC happily accepts this award on behalf of our dedicated volunteers who give so freely of their time to ensure the integrity of public funding.” This year, the organizations have also chosen to single out Ducks Unlimited, The Minnesota Land Trust, The Nature Conservancy, The Three Rivers Park District and a number of municipalities for their exceptional work in utilizing Legacy funds for the betterment of the state. Neither Conservation Minnesota nor the Minnesota Citizens for the Arts receives any funding from the Legacy Amendment. The Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council serves nonprofit arts groups in the counties of Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Olmsted, Mower, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, Winona in Minnesota. Their grants and services are funded, in part, by the voters of Minnesota, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Minnesota Citizens for the Arts is a statewide arts advocacy organization whose mission is to ensure opportunity for all people to have access to and involvement in the arts. MCA organizes the arts community and lobbies the Minnesota State Legislature and Congress on issues pertaining to the nonprofit arts and conducts original research. MCA works with over 42,000 arts advocates in Minnesota. www. mncitizensforthearts.org, @MNCitizen. Formed in 1984 as the Minnesota League of Conservation Voters, Conservation Minnesota now exists as a collection of related organizations dedicated to helping connect Minnesotans who care about conservation with elected decision makers throughout the state.

Becky’s Food Tales By Becky Hoff
Longer Days Require Quick Cooking The days are growing longer, and I am having no trouble at all filling up those extra daylight hours. Yard work, spring cleaning, part time jobs, taking walks, meetings, appointments, clubs and more! Gone are the endless and empty days of winter, and good riddance I say! Still, it has become clear that I need more quick and easy meal
ideas. A meal of grilled cheese and tomato soup is great, but only the first few times you serve it. After that, you need to dig out the cookbooks, fire up the search engine and consider your options. The crock pot is always your friend when it comes to quick
Basic Quick Brine for Chicken Breasts
(This makes enough for four decent sized boneless skinless chicken breasts.) 2 quarts water ¼ cup kosher salt (use half that amount if using standard table salt) ¼ cup sugar Mix brine ingredients, taking care to dissolve salt and sugar. If you would like to have your chicken cook evenly, it is best to pound your chicken breasts to a uniform thickness before putting them in the brine solution. Pound them to about 3/4 inch in thickness. When I do this, I stick them in a plastic bag and give them a good whack with a heavy bottomed skillet. If you are having a bad day, this is exceptionally satisfying. Add your chicken breasts to the brine and soak them for 30 minutes. You can use this time to fix some side dishes, such as a salad or sautéed vegetables. Oil that grill, and be sure to have it good and hot when the brine time is up. Remove the chicken from the brine, give it a quick rinse, and pat dry. Grill chicken over direct and mediumhigh heat until done. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side. You can add any dry spice you like to the chicken before grilling.

meals. A few minutes prep time in the morning and you will reap the reward of a tender roast, a stewed chicken or a satisfying batch of chili for dinner. Yet these all sound like cold weather meals, and it is SPRING! Let’s leave the crock pot in the cupboard and clean off the outdoor grill, shall we? Boneless skinless chicken breasts are a great choice for grilling. They’re lean, tasty and convenient! But, they do have a tendency to dry out when grilled, and they can stick to the grill if you’re not careful. A quick brine, and oiling the grill grates will take care of these problems for us. I suggest grilling up several chicken breasts at one time and using the leftover chicken to fix quick salads, pasta dishes and sandwiches throughout the week.
Thank You!

Peterson approves assessment policy By Kirsten Zoellner For some months, the city of Peterson has been pouring over the details of a proposed assessment policy in regards to the 2015 County 25 project. The council had previously discussed setting the cost share at 50 percent city and 50 percent property owner. Financial assistance for the project is being provided by the county for sidewalks, curb, and gutter. There has been confusion over whether this financial assistance would be applied to only the city portion or over total project cost. Consultant Mike Bubany, of David Drown Associates, cautioned the city that adjusting the assessment policy to reflect additional assistance be applied to total project cost, could lead to unfair situations on other projects in the future. Councilor Gail Boyum laid out some numbers to give the council a clearer vision of what was being proposed, but noted that the numbers are strictly estimates and are subject to change. A 50 percent cost share of the work in question is estimated at $74,649.63 and linear footage along Mill Street/County 25 is 2003.34 feet. Without assistance, the cost for the work equates to $32 per linear foot. Using the example of a homeowner with 100 linear feet of property along the roadway, Boyum noted that the $3,200 cost may not make sense in Peterson, as it would in a similar situation in a maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment, fines of $14,000, or both. Vandyke also faces one alleged count of Traffic - DWI - Operate Motor Vehicle Under Influence of Alcohol, one alleged count of Traffic - DWI - Operate Motor Vehicle - Alcohol Concentration 0.08 Within 2 Hours, and one alleged Count Drivers’ Licenses - Driving Restrictions - Alcohol/Controlled Substance; Violations, all which carry maximum penalties of one year imprisonment, fines of $3,000, or both. Finally, Vandyke also faces one count alleged - Open Bottle Law - Drinking and Consumption - Crime Described and one alleged count Drivers’ Licenses - Driving Restrictions - Drive/ Operate/Control Motor Vehicle Without Ignition Interlock, both which carry maximum penalties of 90 days imprisonment, fines of $1,000, or both. Roger Charles Martino, 49, of Preston, Minn., appeared in Fillmore County Court on March 31, 2014 facing one alleged count Check Forgery - Falsely Endorse and one alleged count Check Forgery - Offer/Possess With Intent to Defraud, both which carry maximum penalties of five years imprisonment, fines of $10,000, or both. In a separate case, Martino faces one alleged count of Theft - By Check and one alleged count Theft - Find and Appropriate Lost Property, both which carry maximum penalties of five years imprisonment, fines of $10,000, or both. See COURTS Page 29
larger municipality. “Our big entryway is Mill Street. I feel like the city should participate in that. Our street is critical and we all benefit from it,” said Boyum. After further council discussion, a 70/30 assessment policy, with any additional assistance first applied to the city portion, was approved unanimously. Still unclear is whether property owners will have additional options to pay for the improvements other than up front or by putting on their property taxes, with added interest. It was noted that other municipalities have allowed for partial prepayment and options to pay the principal off at a later date. The council will iron out that matter further. The next step in the project, now that the assessment policy is in place, will be setting actual costs through engineering. Also up for discussion at the April 9 meeting were possible changes to the current chicken ordinance, the Peterson Committee for the Arts, and resolution of a signage dispute along Mill Street. In the first, talk of changing the current ordinance was presented by Councilor Dave Colbenson and revolved around allowing for additional rotation licensing and/ or family licensing. The current ordinance allows for the keeping of 5 hens on a property, with consent by abutting property owners. The proposed rotation licensing would allow those authorized to keep backyard chickens to increase their flock to a maximum of 10 hens, for a period of six months. This would allow for the brunging in of new birds before having to cycle out the older hens, so as not
to disrupt the egg production of that flock. A family license, would likewise allow for a maximum of 10 hens, but would allow a property to keep that number year round. The council will discuss the issue further at the next meeting. The Peterson Committee for the Arts, while newly named, isn’t a new thing, according to Councilor Gail Boyum. The city council has essentially filled the role in the past, but by naming the acting councilors as such, the city of Peterson is able to seek out and attain potential grant funding aimed at increasing awareness of the arts within the city. Boyum has recently sought out $3,000 in funding through a statewide grant. If approved, the city will use the grant for the purchase of a sound system for its restored bandstand. The site is home to a number of events throughout the year, most notably a summer concert series. Lastly, it appears the city may have resolved an issue regarding signage along Mill Street, in front of Chiggy’s Liquor Store. Councilor Dave Colbenson met with owner Kathy Chiglo to try and address the issues. “I tried to see the best of two worlds and what popped out in my mind is the safety concern of loading trucks. Can we find a compromise and designate that as a loading zone?” Councilor Barry Erickson suggested the area in front of Chiggy’s and the post office be instead designated as 10 minute parking to allow for a broader usage. It was also noted that a “No Parking” sign at the site isn’t needed and further confuses the issue, as does yellow paint along the curb. Erickson stated that the city had painted See PETERSON Page 25

grey over the yellow along the curb, but it had worn. The council agreed to remove the “No Parking” sign, to repaint the yellow curbside grey, and to change the signage to read, “10 Minute Parking, 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. , Monday-Saturday.” In addition, the councilors will speak with the business owners along Mill Street to let them know the plans for the area.

Lanesboro to put decals on windows of abandoned buildings By Jade Sexton The Lanesboro EDA (Economic Development Authority) would like to place some historic decals in the windows of empty buildings in the downtown area. The window decals would help to improve the look of the buildings and the downtown, helping them not look so vacant. This would be done with the approval of the property owners. The decals will be purchased from Kelly Printing in Preston. They can cover two windows for $800, which will be paid by the EDA with money coming from the Chamber and Public Utilities. “I would like to see the property owners pay for part of it,” said Mayor Steve Rahn. “We’re making their property look better.” Councilor Tom Smith noted the property owners are contributing to the chamber with dues. Jason Resseman said he has seen the decals and they are very nicely done and look great. The council approved. Well project There has been a 6-week delay
in the start of the well project due to frost melting and muddy roads. Todd said they are still planning on being done by the end of June. There is a barn on the site that needs to be removed, and Todd said Phil Holtergaard is interested in taking the barn down and using the wood. This would save the city the expense of removing it themselves. It was approved to allow Holtergaard to remove the tree. He can work up until the time the contractor needs access to the area, at which point the contractor will remove whatever remains. Parking Spaces Phil Dybing asked the council to put up a 30-minute parking sign in front of the corner grocery store. There is already a sign right on the corner, but the council agreed to put up another so there are two spots. Councilor Tom Smith asked about enforcing the parking time limit. Mayor Rahn said it’s more of a common courtesy, and you would hope that people would respect it. Todd added the cost of the sign is very inexpensive. Brush dump Dybing also spoke to the council about the brush dump, and some concerns he has. “I understand the value of it, and that it needs to be taken care of once in a while,” he said. His concern was the location, as it is close to downtown Lanesboro and when it must be burned, there is a lot of smoke. Mayor Rahn said they have been brainstorming different locations for a long time, but there aren’t a lot of options with land the city owns. Dybing said he just wanted to bring it up to see if there was any other location. Girls Day Out Sarah Pieper approached the council with some additions to the Girls Day Out event on May 3. It will be the third year for this event, and Pieper wanted to be sure they had all the permits they need. Pieper said there will be music in the afternoon, and it will be a quiet group of people, not a large band. Eric Bunge has given her permission to use his lot for the music. There will also be a sidewalk sale, and Pieper was wondering if the $25 sidewalk sale permit was for all businesses involved or if they each need to purchase a permit. Todd said it should be good for everyone. Pieper asked about insurance needs as well, and Manion suggested she check with the city’s insurance provider to find out what is covered. There will also be a walking fashion show as well, with businesses providing their own models to walk around modeling merchandise. Pieper said if things go well, they will include these events in the fall with the next Girls Day Out. The council approved the events contingent upon the insurance and meeting the permit requirements.
Chamber of Commerce Dee Slinde, the new Director of the Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce, updated the council. She said they are continuing to work on ways to promote the city. The chamber would also like to work together with the EDA. She noted the city’s 202 plan, the EDA’s plan, and the Chamber’s strategic plan all have many goals in common and it would be beneficial to work together on them. Church Hill vacation Todd informed the council there would be a petition for a vacation at Church Hill coming soon. After recent discussion with Dan Anderson about the parking at Church Hill Condominiums, Anderson has decided to petition to have a portion of the roadway vacated. Councilor Tom Smith asked if it would be possible to sell the five-foot strip of land to him instead of vacate it. City Attorney Tom Manion explained the city doesn’t own that strip, it’s just a right-of-way. No more discussion will be held until Anderson files the petition. Street Closures The council approved a few requests for street closures due to events coming up. Jennifer Rogers requested closure of the alley near her house for a graduation party. Barbara Keith asked for two parking spaces to be blocked in front of the St. Mane Theater for a street dance. Jason Resseman asked for a street closure on Fillmore Ave from Sheridan to Whittier. They will be having a block party on August 31. Street Plans City employee Andy Drake
asked the council if there were any plans for street repairs in the near future. He said the city hasn’t done any major street repairs since Whittier Street in 2008. Drake said he could help put together a street plan, and he could show the council the streets that need the most work. Mayor Rahn said the city has accrued $130,000 from the sales tax, which is designated for street repairs. There is also $40,000 in the road maintenance/repair budget. “We used to spend $40-50,000 a year, and we stayed on top of things,” said Drake. Drake is going to put together a priority list and see what can be done with $170,000. The next major street repair is Zenith Street, which is scheduled for 2015. Park Board resignation The resignation of Orville Amdahl from the Park Board was approved. The council also approved a thank-you ad for the newspaper to show appreciation for his years of service. Other business The council approved the purchase of a Dell Computer for the city office at a cost of $1,600. The city is paying 30 percent of the cost and Public Utilities paying 70 percent. The council approved the library’s request for access to the softball field for the Rhubarb Run on June 6. A liquor license and gambling license were approved for Buffalo Bill Days. The Local Board of Appeal and Equalization meeting will be April 14 at 5:30 p.m.

By Hannah Wingert The Mabel City Council met on April 9, 2014 at 7 p.m. All council members were present except for Kirsten Wyffels. Shawn Welty and Mark Davy from Davy Engineering were present at the meeting to present the council with the bids for Proposals 1 and 2. Proposal 1 was for the Sewer and Water Rehabilitation and Spot Repairs project which Davy Engineering recommended awarding to Jech Excavating, Inc for their bid of $1,263,913.12 pending Rural Development concurrence. Proposal 2 was for the No-Dig Lining and Spot Repairs project which Davy Engineering recommended awarding to Visu-Sewer, Inc for their bid of $119,322.50 pending Rural Development concurrence. A motion passed to accept the recommendations. Mark Davy informed the council that the City of Mabel is currently over budget for engineering costs due to having to re-bid projects four times. The engineering contract needs to be updated in order for the city to be reimbursed for the additional engineering costs by Rural Development. The minutes from the March 12, 2014 meeting were reviewed and approved. The monthly bills were reviewed and approved for payment. Public Works Department Director Robert Miereau spoke with several of the homeowners on Cherrywood Drive. Due to the configuration of the street and the difficulty in obtaining easements, he recommended putting blacktop millings down on the road and culverts where necessary rather than putting in curbs and gutters. The homeowners he spoke with were amenable to the change in plans. The Recreational Vehicle Ordinance was reviewed and updated prior to the meeting. A permit will now be required for recreational vehicles to be driven within city limits. A copy of the updated ordinance will be given out with all permit applications and will also be sent out with
utility bills. A summary of the ordinance will be published in the Mabel News Record. The city lot at 112 North Lyndale Street was appraised. The council agreed to sell the lot. Bids will be accepted until noon of May 14, and the bids will be opened at the beginning of the city council meeting that evening. Several Mabel residents had requested that handicapped parking spots be made available by BBG’s restaurant. The council passed a motion to turn the first two parallel parking spots into handicapped parking. Public Works Department Director Robert Miereau updated the council on the tree program. He’s not sure what the species of trees will be available yet, but the trees will be purchased from Village Farm and Home. Mabel residents interested in participating in the tree program are asked to call City Hall for more details. Mabel City Clean-Up Day is scheduled for May 10 from 8 a.m.-noon. An announcement will be sent out in the utility bills. Several individuals have expressed interest in an extra water meter to avoid paying sewer charge when watering their lawns and gardens. The council will work on determining charges for the extra meters at the next meeting and tabled the issue for the time being. A motion was passed to put up three Yield signs at the intersection of Karlil and Hagan Streets. Miereau has a spec sheet for the water meter project and will tailor it to the City’s needs before putting the project in the newspaper for bids. The Household Hazardous Waste Collecton for Fillmore County will be held the first Tuesday in May and October this year at the Resource Recovery Center in Preston from noon-5 p.m. The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be held May 14, 2014 at 7 p.m.

details to the county board at their April 8 meeting about the National Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative for drug collection. Jensen explained that with participation in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) program there will be drop off boxes at six locations including Chatfield, Harmony, Lanesboro, Rushford, Spring Valley, and the sheriff’s office in Preston. The collection of prescription drugs will have a very minimal cost to the county, only for drop off boxes and transportation to the incinerator. The collection will take place on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is a safe way to dispose of unwanted, unused, and expired drugs. Commissioner Tom Kaase explained that this disposal method prevents individuals from flushing drugs, which allows
best not to flush any drugs. Kaase added that no questions will be asked when drugs are dropped off. Jensen maintained that the program helps to keep these prescription drugs out of the hands of young people. The DEA’s intention is to have a convenient and safe method of disposal and to educate the public about the potential abuse of prescription medications. Other Business In Brief •County Engineer Ron Gregg presented three bids for construction on CSAH 35 in Harmony. The low bid from A-1 Excavating, Inc. of $930,189.75 was approved contingent on approval by the City of Harmony. It was 3.5 percent higher than the engineer’s estimate. •Kaase reported on the CSAH 1 right of way meeting recently held in Spring Valley, saying it was
a good meeting. He praised Gregg on his presentation to the 80-90 people who attended to have their questions and concerns addressed. Gregg noted that county surveyor Jeff Brand worked on the maps that were part of the presentation. •A $25 group annual membership payment for 2014 was approved for the Southeastern Minnesota Association Regional Trails (SMART) program. •ITC Midwest LLC’s request to terminate the lease agreement adjacent to the substation at Spring Valley was discussed. The company has not used the property as expected to house vehicles and equipment. They have offered to make the 2014 payment of $2,200 and to complete the fence or to remove it. Commissioner Marc Prestby was concerned about the language concerning the fence. It was decided to bring it back at the next meeting after they get more information. •A transfer agreement for AEDs was approved and will be required to be completed before AEDs will be given to collaborative members.
Long-anticipated Preston Family Dollar opens its doors April 10 By Mitchell Walbridge Anticipation for the opening of Preston’s Family Dollar store has been building for months, and finally, after months of waiting, the first customers were able to make their way through the front doors at 8 a.m. on Thursday, April 10. Although this was not the official grand opening for the store, there was considerable customer traffic last Thursday morning. Elizabeth Strain is the Preston store’s general manager. Strain has several years in retail experience and is greatly looking forward to the months ahead as Family Dollar establishes its presence in the community. Strain, along with a tentative staff size of eight to 10 employees is just as excited as the customers. However, the staff size is subject change by either fluctuating or downsizing as needed. “People have been really excited,” Strain commented. Construction groundbreaking took place on September 1, 2013, with Norwood Commercial Construction doing the majority of the project. On April 1, the project team was able to enter the store for the first time, designing and detailing the interior retail, office, and storage spaces. In just 10 days, the majority of set up has been completed and Family Dollar is ready to serve the public. Area Operations Manager Brian Carriker was also present at the store on Thursday, overseeing the finishing touches on Preston’s Family Dollar initiation. “We’re really glad to be here and I think the area is really going to enjoy what we have to offer,” stated Carriker. Carriker oversees 17 stores in the region. Strain explained the Preston
Family Dollar store’s official grand opening is scheduled for Saturday, April 19. Keep your eyes peeled as flyers will soon be arriving in your mail boxes offering great coupons offers and deals. Also, on April 19 the store will have some door prizes to give away as well as samples
of products for sale. Though Family Dollar opened at 8 a.m. on April 10, the regular hours are seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information on Family Dollar’s products and sales, visit www. familydollar.com.

Preston reviews industrial park feasibility study By Karen Reisner City Engineer Brett Grabau, Stantec, presented his feasibility report for the North Industrial Park and utility improvements at the Preston City Council’s April 7 meeting. Preston attended to an unusually long agenda involving four public hearings associated with Dairy & Farm and Gehling developments north of Highway 16 and west of Highway 52. The North Industrial Park is to be located in the southwest quadrant of the Highway 16 and Highway 52 interchange. Grabau noted that a couple of businesses are interested in breaking ground this summer in the proposed North Industrial Park. The possible commercial/industrial development of the two interested businesses combined with the possible annexation of the Dairy & Farm and Gehling properties has brought about utility extension discussions by the EDA and the Utility Commission. The feasibility of the extension of utilities to serve parcels on both sides of Highway 16 was part of the study. There would also need to be improvement to a proposed roadway for the Industrial Park. Access would be off Golfview Drive setback off of Highway 16 for the Industrial Park. Storm water improvements will be a large part of the development. Grabau explained that with the additional hard surfaces, storm and water retention will be required. He proposed a retention pond requiring 1.19 acres of the Industrial Park. Councilman Robert Maust suggested the collection pond be moved to property on the other
side of Highway 52 to reduce land usage, which is limited in the proposed Industrial Park. There is potentially room for only three lots, possibly just two. He insisted that run off could be controlled without a pond on the top of a hill. Grabau agreed that theoretically Maust’s suggestion would be possible, but more expensive. Mayor Kurt Reicks was in favor of moving the placement of the retention pond saying it would be great to get the pond out of the industrial area, adding the pond would be further out of town. Reicks said that with the Veterans Cemetery coming, our vision of Preston has to be different than seeing three weedy ponds when coming into town. He maintained that citizens are not pleased with the two Highway 52 ponds that we already have. City Administrator Joe Hoffman commented that we are assuming costs are the same to treat water off site as on site. Grabau was in the end directed to look into another option for the storm water containment pond, to see if it could be feasibly built on the other side of Highway 52 further down the hill and to see if MPCA would approve. Estimated utility improvements for phase 1 and 2 water main and utility improvements would total $482,895. Two options were discussed for site improvements. The higher cost would have more roadway and was estimated to be $531,043. The lesser cost would produce less roadway at $413,104 and was initially recommended by Grabau. However, if the storm water con-

tainment pond was moved, this could change that recommendation. Total expenses for land, streets, water, and sewer were estimated to be about $696,911. Total revenues including lot sales, TIF, and DEED grant were estimated to be $572,177. This would leave a deficit of about $125,000. Mike Bubany, Drown and Associates, said the maximum risk to the city is about $300,000, but it is more likely the $125,000 figure. He suggested the benefit gained by installing the infrastructure is the incentive it will have for business to come to the city, to open things up for further development north and west of the city. Maust maintained that we have to look at the bigger picture. Bubany added that taxpayers will have a little skin in the game to open things up. Reicks added that development in Preston is moving north of the city. A DEED grant could pay up to 50 percent of the cost of extending water and electricity. Hoffman said they estimated a possible grant of over $300,000. Resolutions were unanimously approved to apply for business development infrastructure grants to support public infrastructure for the Industrial Park and for the Preston Dairy & Farm Association. It was noted that the $125,000 not covered by revenues could be added to the bond to be obtained for the 2014 street improvement projects. That figure could be increased if the suggestion to move the containment pond added additional costs. Public Hearings During all four public hearings there were no comments from the public. •Business Subsidy Policy Hoffman explained that the city’s business subsidy policy was adopted in 2004. Staff recommended the adoption of a new business subsidy policy with criteria that is better suited for today’s developments. Bubany said the new policy will provide more flexibility. The new developments will eventually increase the city’s tax base, but not necessarily add new jobs. A resolution to approve the new policy was approved. •TIF District number 7 During the second public
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
hearing concerning Tax Increment Financing District number 7, Bubany explained how a TIF District works. For redevelopment purposes the TIF could last up to 26 years. Property taxes on the value of the properties as they are today will continue to be paid out to the city, school district and county. Ninety percent of taxes collected due to the improved value (increased market value) will be reimbursed to the companies (Preston Dairy & Farm and Gehling Auction) each year when collected until the number of years in the TIF agreement is up or until redevelopment costs have been returned to the companies. The risk is the developer’s and not the city’s. The estimated costs to be paid for with TIF are for land acquisition and site improvements ($341,631). Bubany noted the companies would not likely want to be annexed into the city without the TIF. The TIF will draw them into the city improving the city’s tax base after the TIF agreement is satisfied. Consideration to establish TIF district number 7 will be made at the special city council meeting to be held on April 9. The TIF district can not be established prior to the annexation of the two parcels. •Subsidy Agreements Two more public hearings were held on proposed business subsidy agreements with Preston Dairy & Farm and with Gehling Auction. Bubany reviewed basic terms for each agreement noting what will be the responsibilities of each company and the city. The city would agree to extending sewer and water contingent on receiving a state grant from DEED. Ninety percent of the tax increments generated from the redevelopment of the properties will be used to repay a maximum of $150,000 for each business over a period of up to 20 years. The city council will act on each of these proposed agreements at their April 9 meeting. Other Business In Brief •The ambulance service will be holding a fundraiser open house on May 16 at the Fire Hall. Tickets ($15) for a steak dinner prepared by Fillmore County Cattlemen’s Association are available. Ambulance director Ryan
Page 27
Throckmorton explained that a $25,000 competitive grant from the American Heart Association for rural Minnesota could be applied for to implement 12-Lead cardiac monitors. He said the grant is a one time opportunity. Throckmorton said one cardiac monitor costs $32,000. However, with the grant it would be discounted and two monitors could be purchased for $45,164. After the grant, the ambulance service cost would be $20,164 for two monitors. He said that with Wi-Fi connections, a patient can be treated while being transported and sent directly to the cath lab, bypassing the emergency room. The council approved the purchase of two monitors subject to receiving the grant. •The EDA recommended approval of a $5,000 loan to Melvin Hayner for the Driftless Flyfishing Company. The loan from the revolving loan fund was approved. Three housing incentive applications had been received for rehabilitation work on homes. All three were approved as long as all guideline qualifications are met as recommended by the EDA. Rehabs must have a minimum investment of $5,000. Incentives in the program could total up to $1,330. •Teal ribbons are being placed around the city in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Annexation Final The Preston City Council convened a special meeting on April 9 to complete business regarding the annexation of the two parcels northwest of the Highway 16 and Highway 52 intersection owned by Preston Dairy & Farm and Gehling Auction. City administrator Joe Hoffman confirmed that notice was received on April 8 that the Chief Administration Law Judge of Minnesota approved the annexation of the parcels. With the annexation finalized the council passed a resolution establishing TIF District number 7. Two separate resolutions were then adopted completing the process by approving a business subsidy agreement between Preston Dairy & Farm and the city of Preston and by approving a business subsidy agreement between Gehling Auction and the city of Preston.

B&B Olympic Bowl spruces up with remodel By Barb Jeffers Walk into B&B Olympic Bowl in Preston, Minn. and you will be bowled over by the new look. The restaurant side of the business has been through a transformation from floor to ceiling. Paul and Shelly Hanson purchased B&B Olympic Bowl in September of 2009 and made improvements at that time with new lanes and an addition. Now, in the fifth year of ownership, they have made another major improvement by remodeling. The remodeling project began on January 6, 2014, which Shelly says “was the coldest day of the
year”, creating challenges but the work moved forward and remodeling was completed on March 26, 2014. Carpentry work was done by Ron Schroeder of Quality Construction of Preston, Minn. Ron installed a new wood ceiling using hackberry which adds character and a sense of space to the room. A new wood floor made with ash was also installed by Ron Schroeder. The floor is innovative and has a very interesting look. Schroeder explained he implemented a new technique for flooring which is a way of
getting the “old barn board look” with new wood. He states that when wood is initially cut a large circular saw is used and the blade leaves marks in the wood. Normally these marks are planed out to make the wood smooth. With the type of floor Schroeder installed at B&B Olympic Bowl the marks from the saw blade are not totally planed which gives the floor “more depth and a rustic look” says Ron. Poplar wood was used for the trim and painted black to match the decor. Wood was purchased from Root River Hardwoods of Preston and Shelly states that
Marty Sveen of Root River Hardwoods was very helpful in putting everything together for the project. New furniture was purchased and a large booth was installed ,which also contributes greatly to the updated and improved look. Room for the large booth was created by changing the doorway to the kitchen and moving the till. Two new cabinets were built by Paul Hanson and Ron Schroeder. Duane Gilbertson of Duane Gilbertson Construction of Fountain, Minn. installed Granicrete countertops to cabinets and also used Granicrete on the Lazy Susan’s in the center of the tables. Granicrete gives the look of granite, marble, concrete, or other various stone at a fraction of the price. A new front door was installed and windows looking into the bowling lanes from the restaurant were replaced giving patrons a great view of bowlers. Freshly painted walls of red and orange
compliment the floor, ceiling, and furnishings and bring the look all together. Shelly said choosing the paint colors was not an easy task but the end result is a perfect match for the room. Brian Ostby of Fountain, Minn. did the stonework on the fireplace, which draws attention from anyone entering the room and provides coziness during the cold months of the year. Electrical work was done by Haakenson Electric of Preston. Others local businesses the Hanson’s found to be helpful were Hahn Lumber of Harmony, Minn. and Napa Auto Parts and Hardware of Preston, Minn. Shelly states that all of the contractors were great to work with and did an amazing job. Shelly plans to decorate the freshly painted walls with old photographs of Preston and the Preston Historical Society is searching for photographs for her to use. Paul and Shelly’s daughters See REMODEL Page 29

were also involved in the project with Shelly saying that Shawna, age 24, pushed for the project and Lindsi, age 21, had the idea to install the large booth. It means a lot to have their family involved in the remodeling venture also. Although the look of B&B Olympic Bowl has changed, the tasty food has not. The same great menu items are available as always, the only difference is the scenery. Shelly says they have received nothing but great comments from customers. She laughed and said, “Some of the regular customers said they feel they should eat on the other side now because they are ‘too dirty’ to sit in the remodeled area” but Shelly adds “We couldn’t do it without them.” While looking around the remodeled room Shelly stated “Nothing in here is the same.” And people really take notice. She feels that the customers of B&B Olympic Bowl appreciate the change and hopes that they will come to a Customer Open House on April 30, 2014 following a ribbon-cutting by the Preston Chamber of Commerce. B&B Olympic Bowl will be serving food from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. on that day to show their appreciation to their customers and also to the contractors who performed the work. Shelly commented that she hopes the contractors can be present during the Open House for customers to talk with about the work they did. Door prizes will also be given including Twins tickets and tickets to the Commonweal Theatre in Lanesboro, Minn. B&B Olympic Bowl is located at 401 Kansas Street NW in Preston. The phone number is (507) 765-2522.

Recycling 101 By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator About 40 percent of Minnesota garbage is organic waste and much of what you send to landfill is quite compostable right in your own back yard. But, why would you want to compost your garbage? Well, perhaps it is fun, perhaps it is relatively easy, perhaps you are tired LaVerne C. Paulson of sending all that stuff to the landfill, or

perhaps you want to make an additive for your lawn and gardens that your plants will just love. Composting can save you a bit of cash by using less garbage bags and the finished product, ready for your garden, is more or less free. You will reduce the amount of waste that is created by your yard, your garden, and your kitchen by converting leaves, grass, and kitchen scraps into a usable soil amendment. Compost frequently reduces the need for additional fertilizers and makes a good mulch for new plants. And, if done correctly, there are no foul odors in the process. The Minnesota Composting Council and Blue Bag Organ-
ics have stated that plants grown in compost-rich soils require less watering because of the increased infiltration and storage capacity of root systems. The reduction of water run off, evaporation, and water usage by weeds is significant. Research has shown that the application of compost can reduce the need for watering by 30 to 70 percent. Please take a few minutes to check out composting on the web and see how it would work for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I am also available for presentations to church groups and civic groups concerning recycling, as well as composting in Fillmore County, free of
charge. Here are some statements dealing with how we impact the environment. Ninety percent of atmospheric mercury that falls into Minnesota lakes and streams and makes some of our fish unsafe to eat comes from outside the state. Aluminum is a durable and sustainable metal. Over twothirds of aluminum ever produced is still in use today. It can be recycled over and over again. In 2009, Minnesota recycled 38,500 tons of aluminum. One hundred ninety two thousand, five hundred tons of bauxite was left in the ground by recycling that amount of aluminum.

field day is located 8 miles south of Preston on County Road 17 (watch for signs). The event is free of charge, and no pre-registration is required. Winter rye was blown on with the fall application of potash and phosphorus and then worked it in with a Turbo-Till disk.

Jessica Bronson, Fillmore County NRCS District Conservationist, will talk about different financial assistance programs for cover crops. Funding to support this event is provided by the National Wildlife Federation Cover Crop Champion Grant in cooperation with the Fillmore Soil and Water Conservation District and University of Minnesota Extension.

Gopher News A Quilt for Caleb
Congratulations to Shelby Isensee for her Honorable Mention Award at the District Level Lions Peace Poster contest! Great job!
A quilt made for Caleb Eide from Ms. Overland’s Kindergarten Class (2013-2014).
Post Bulletin’s Randy Chapman was a guest reader at last Friday’s Reading Blitz. Randy, thank you so much for reading to our kids and for your advocacy of K-12 schools! Go Gophers!!
FFA NEWS
In March, Chatfield FFA submitted its National Chapter Award Application to state to be judged and compared with other chapters and potentially earn a chance at advancing to Nationals. This award application showcases the events that the Chatfield FFA puts together each year that further leadership opportunities for students and the chapter as well as those events that focus on improving our community. We are pleased to announce that Chatfield received a gold ranking, the highest at the state level and will be advancing to Nationals for judging this summer! Chatfield FFA members will walk on stage and receive an award given to the top 10% of chapters throughout the state in April at the MN State FFA Convention. Chatfield was also selected as one of nine finalists in the Chapter Exchange of Ideas Award Program with our Jared Hammell Memorial Volleyball Scholarship Tournament Activity and will be creating a presentation for display at State Convention where the nine will be judged and an overall winner chosen.
STATE SCIENCE FAIR Five students represented Chatfield Public Schools this year at the Minnesota State Science and Engineering Fair March 29th through April 1st in Bloomington—Matt Dietz (12), Justin Friedrich (12), Luke Dietz (9), Bennett Gathje (8), and Lincoln Salisbury (7). Approximately 500 middle and high school students participated in this year’s fair.
Congratulations To Our New National Honor Society Inductees! We Are Very Proud Of You!
This is an original work of art created by local artist Joe Chase to commemorate the state championship victory of Chatfield’s own football team this school year.

CONgrATulATIONS
to Mariah Pederson and Nicole Herrli, who have been chosen as Chatfield High School’s KIMT Scholastic All-Stars for 2014! The girls will be honored at a banquet and featured on KIMT commercials in May. Thank you to all who voted!
The Physics Class has been learning about projectile motion and building catapults for the past few weeks. Monday was our “launch day”. With the catapults they built, students launched a ping pong ball and after measuring the time in the air and the horizontal distance, they calculated the horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, total initial velocity and launch angle. Physics in action! It was a successful example of project-based learning for this group.
