Fountain City Council hears recommendations for WWTP and Kipp Sande. Brian Oakley and Todd DeJournett with Barr Engineering were both mentors for the team. Brian made it clear to the audience that the students did all of the work on the project themselves. Nora Pederson explained the problem with the WWTP that they were given as an assignment at the beginning of the semester. The problem was that the effluent (liquid waste or sewage) levels of nitrogen were consistently going over 10 mg/L, which is the permitted amount allowed by the MPCA. Important features of the Fountain wastewater treatment plant were highlighted including: •High variable flow because it is a small town of about 400 people. •The Valley Design metal finishing facility accounts for about

The Fountain City Council met on Thursday, May 1, at 6 p.m. instead of the normal 7:30 p.m. in order to accommodate guests whom they hoped had answers the council has been looking for in relation to problems with the wastewater treatment plant. All council members were present along with City Clerk Ronda Flattum, Police Chief Tom Mosher, and city maintenance worker John Hanson. Others attending included City Engineer David Morrill, representatives from Valley Design, and a representative from PeopleService. Brian Oakley from Barr Engineering Co. began the Senior Design Presentation by introducing The Capstone Design Team consisting of University of Minnesota students Nora Pederson, Kathryn Klauch, Vicki Larson,

Lanesboro still searching for funding for dam By Jade Sexton jade@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The City of Lanesboro has been seeking funding to repair the damage to the dam since flooding caused damage in 2008. The cost of the project has only increased over the years with regulations requiring the repairs be made with historically accurate materials. Currently the project is expected to cost around $2.7 million. The city has approximately $900,000 in grant money for the project, which includes a grant from the Minnesota Historical Society that will be expiring in June. Todd is seeking an extension on that grant. He said the Minnesota Histori-
cal Society would be willing to extend the deadline if the city had matching federal money. According to Todd, the only federal money available is a loan from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture). The city has been trying to get help for the project through the state bonding bill, but Todd said the senate has decreased the bonding bill by a million dollars, meaning there is less money to go around for capital projects. Council member Tom Dybing said the appropriation money is determined by the head of the DNR, and Lanesboro’s dam project is on high priority. “We need to be thinking of a

Street Vacation Dan Anderson, developer of Church Hill Condominiums, has filed a petition for a street vacation. Anderson had previously approached the council about a joint agreement with the city regarding the parking lot. The property line currently goes down the middle of the parking lot, and the spaces are used by people attending church nearby. Anderson has petitioned for the city to vacate See LANESBORO Page 6

Prescription drug drop-off volume increases By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com
Sheriff Daryl Jensen reported at the Fillmore County Board’s May 6 meeting that participation in the 2014 National Take Back Initiative (Prescription Drug Drop Off Program) was way up from last year. The drop off program designed to give residents a safe way to dispose of unused or outdated drugs took place on April 26 at six locations including Rushford, Lanesboro, Chatfield, Spring Valley, Harmony, and the Sheriff’s Office in Preston. Jensen said during the last

collection they collected about 100 pounds. This year there was a very positive response with 220 pounds of drugs being dropped off. The drugs will be incinerated. Jensen suggested that the increased participation was in part due to information about the program being dispersed by cities via utility bills and the advertisements on KFIL radio. A digital in-car radio camera for the new 2014 Chevrolet Impala squad car was approved at the state contract price of $4,970 from Digital Ally. Jensen said it will replace the See COUNTY BOARD Page 15

40-60 percent of the incoming flow to the wastewater treatment plant and out of that 40-60 percent (which varies given the hour of the day and day of the week) most of it is the effluent from the finishing processes rather than bathrooms on site. •It is rare for a wastewater treatment plant to have a nitrogen permit limit in the State of Minnesota but given the karst geological conditions of Fountain the city is required to have one. •The plant does have a limited amount of aeration and recycling controls. •Prior to entering the WWTP most of the wastewater goes through septic tanks which lowers the BOD (essentially food for the microbes in the WWTP) and

so a carbon source called Micro C is added to the effluent of the plant. Nora Pederson then explained important terms when explaining the process at the WWTP. These terms are nitrification and denitrification. Both are part of a biological process that work together to eliminate nitrogen from wastewater. Nitrification is a process that occurs in the aerobic tank that converts ammonia to nitrate, which is toxic and why they need to get it out of the system. Denitrification is a process that occurs in the anoxic tank that converts nitrate to nitrogen gas which is then able to leave the water. Kipp Sande then explained that the team had determined that denitrification was not occurring. The root causes that the team feels are making denitrification not occurring are: 1) Dissolved Oxy-

gen (too much dissolved oxygen in the anoxic tank will result in the inhibition of Denitrification) and 2) The Sludge Age may not be high enough (when the sludge is too young the bacteria are not mature enough to efficiently and consistently perform denitrification). Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) is a measure of the biomass in the tank. The greater the MLSS the greater the sludge age. As the MLSS increased the total effluent nitrogen level decreased which is why the team believes the sludge age may be an issue. Kathryn Klarich stated that the recommendations by the Capstone Design Team include running a total suspended solids test (which will tell the MLSS concentration) one time per week for the rest of the plants life, and creating a variation in the MLSS
wastewater treatment plant but believe the recommendations given will solve the problem. The design team then thanked the city for the chance to work on such an interesting project and also to their mentors from Barr Engineering Company. Mayor Richard Kujath thanked the team for all the work they had done for the City of Fountain. All members of the audience that gave the Capstone Design Team a round of applause for their hard work, the informational presentation and recommendations. The council then returned to the remaining agenda items. Consent agenda items approved included minutes from the April 3, 2014 meeting, treasurer’s report, and monthly city bills and Fire Department bills. See FOUNTAIN Page 3
concentration as a test to see what the optimal MLSS concentration is. Kathryn also noted that these tests should be run in the winter as well as summer as the nitrogen is typically a lot lower in the summer. Vicki Larson then recommended that the city set up a couple testing days spread out over a one week period and also to test during overnight hours during this time as well due to the fact that the team believes the highest oxygen levels will be overnight. She also stated that air lift pumps may also be adding too much oxygen to wastewater and the team highly recommends the city purchase a monitor that can collect data 24/7. After performing testing and it is found these items are not the problems the team does have additional ideas for Fountain’s

Police Chief Mosher then gave his report to the council. On April 7, 2014 Officer Mosher attended a hands-on use of force training. On April 8 there was a report of raccoons under a deck. City Clerk Ronda Flattum and the Fillmore County Sherriff’s Department along with Officer Mosher received numerous phones calls in April from a couple individuals related to an assault that took place and items that were stolen. April 17 Mosher attended four hours League of Minnesota training. Mailed citation to individual for issuing a check on a closed account. On April 23, 2014 at 4:20 a.m. received a phone call that Willie’s Grocery and Locker had been broken into. A Kubota had been stolen in Chatfield then left behind Drury’s Furniture where a pickup was then stolen. The front window of Willie’s was broken with a cement block and several
hundred dollars worth of items were taken. The stolen pickup was also in Lanesboro for a short time and the suspects were interrupted trying to kick in a door. Police Chief Mosher worked with the Lanesboro and Chatfield Police Departments to come up with a suspect. By 11 a.m. the Kubota had been returned to its owner, the pickup had been returned to the owner and most of the stolen items from Willie’s were retrieved. Officer Mosher stated he took over 100 photos of the damage and other evidence. Some evidence was found 20 miles from Fountain. Officer Mosher has sent some evidence to the BCA for known comparison testing. Chief Mosher expects charges to be filed against the suspects soon. Officer Mosher wants to remind residents to keep things locked up around your home and invest in locks saying that “even a cheap lock helps” because if people have to break in they leave evidence behind.

C ommentary Logic of the left: Examining the mindset of ultra liberals By Jeff Erding “Only in America would people who want to balance the federal budget and follow the Constitution be demonized and labeled as “radicals” and “conservative wing-nuts!” “Quote from my friend Kerry, a businessman from British Columbia, Canada. Recent articles by syndicated columnists George Will and Charles Krauthammer have made note of a fairly recent phenomenon in America: If someone expresses an opinion or position in opposition to the left wing agenda, no attempt is made to engage them in a debate based on facts or reaJeff Erding son. The new tactic is to simply demonize them and their ideas by immediately attaching a negative label. If the topic is abortion, the pro-lifers are “ANTI WOMENS RIGHTS”. For supporters of traditional marriage, the label is “ANTI-GAY” or “HOMO-PHOBE”. If someone does not buy into human caused climate change [the new term since Global Warming has been disproven] they are ostracized as a “DENIER”. If one dares criticize President Obama or Attorney General Holder, you are branded “RACIST”. Unless, of course, you are a person of color, in which case you fall into the “RADICAL” or “WINGNUT” category or maybe both. That is why I’m so appreciative of the commentary by Luann Wilcox, in the April 21 Fillmore County Journal. In my most recent commentary, I pointed out the premise of Agenda 21 that private property is bad and the ownership of resources by Editorial Cartoon
individuals should be abolished and remanded to total government control. [Agenda 21 is full of nice ideas if you don’t care about liberty and personal freedom!] I went on to document the folly of the Green Energy policy that has gutted the economy of the European Union, whose members are now so weakened by the enormous cost of energy and their dependence on foreign oil they are powerless to resist Russian depredations in the Baltic region. I quoted some respected authorities who are experts on carbon emissions and climate and listed facts and figures with sources. Ms. Wilcox did not dispute any of the scientific facts and figures or list any alternative data. So what criteria was applied to criticize my article minus any facts or figures to the contrary? She said I “yelled at the readers” by using capital letters for emphasis. I used the words “radical” and “secular”. She labeled my premise of the destruction of liberty and private ownership of personal property by Agenda 21 as “blatantly false”, but she doesn’t explain why she thinks so. Indeed she cannot, because Agenda 21 clearly requires government ownership of all resources. She accused me of “name calling”, though I did nothing of the sort. In short, because I espouse conservative views and oppose the agenda of the far left, I am not a civil or welcoming person and have discouraged her brother from moving to an area infested with radical conservatives prone to rabid, anti-liberal rants in the local paper. Sorry about that. So where is the radical left on a number of issues of local concern? Cover ups and lies by the executive branch? Nixon was
forced from office for lying on a far smaller scale and rightfully so. But hold Mr. Obama accountable? No way! Despite overwhelming evidence of distortions and dishonesty, Ultra Liberals give him a complete pass. Wolf hunting? Radical Lefties are in complete opposition to killing any wolves despite the fact that people, moose, and the wolves themselves will ultimately benefit from controlled hunting in Minnesota. Construction of the Keystone Pipeline, which has passed every single environmental assessment and would be of tremendous benefit to American citizens? Radical Greenies oppose it on an emotional level even though there is no logical reason for that opposition. Where is the radical left on quarrying and mining, in particular mining and transporting so called Frac Sand, which by the way has been quarried and used for 150 years in this region without fanfare? Instead of applying normal and sensible rules to safeguard our streams, roads, and the health of the populace, they insist NIMBY!!! (Not In My Backyard). They whip up opposition beyond all reason and logic and seek to categorically deny the people that own the sand the right to market it at a profit. Should rules exist to protect adjacent neighbors and landowners from adverse effects? Certainly! All use of our precious natural resources, especially our soil and water, should be subject to systems and procedures that are cognitive of good stewardship. Transportation of products must always include safeguards for the health of citizens. But should the radical ideology of Agenda 21 prevent those who have labored for years to buy land or build a business the right to profit from their labor without due process? I think not! How about private gun ownership and “conceal and carry”
laws? The ultra-left, with leadership from George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Rahm Emmanuel and Barack Obama, tried to convince the public there would be dire consequences wherever conceal and carry laws were enacted. They predicted murder and mayhem the likes of which had not been seen since the days of the Old West! To date, 40 states have enacted laws that enable law abiding citizens the right to carry pistols for personal protection, and there have been dire consequences…for criminals! To the best of my knowledge, there has not been one licensed permit holder convicted of a gun related crime, despite the fact that tens of thousands of law abiding citizens now carry on a regular basis. Though those on the far left will never admit the correlation, crime rates have dropped dramatically everywhere gun rights for law abiding citizens have been expanded. Has anyone heard the Radical Lefties say, “Whoops. Guess we were wrong on that one.” Nope. And you never will, either. In closing, I apologize if I have offended anyone when I write articles filled with facts and figures that don’t fit the narrative of the radical left. My purpose is not to offend but to inform. If any individual wishes to engage in a fair discussion based on facts devoid of spin and emotion, I welcome the opportunity. If, however, someone is offended by a narrative that supports traditional family values, the Bill of Rights, our Constitution, honesty from our public and elected officials, and common sense energy and conservation policies, I strongly suggest you skip the articles written by me. I will not be intimidated into writing politically correct submissions just because people on the far left can’t stand to read the truth.

C ommentary SWCD commentary: Matching machinery size to the landscape By Brian Hazel, Lanesboro Tim Gossman, Chatfield Leonard Leutink Jr., Spring Valley Pamela Mensink, Preston Travis Willford, Harmony An article recently published by the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) in Iowa speaks to problems seen in Fillmore County where large equipment is being used to farm steep slopes. On these steeper slopes, it is necessary to match machinery size to the landscape in order to maintain traditional conservation practices. Large, wide equipment is difficult to maneuver around grassed waterways and terraces, so oftentimes these conservation practices are reduced or eliminated in places where they are most needed. Dr. Mark Hanna, Extension Agricultural Engineer at Iowa State University, says farmers need to consider what is best long-term for the land they farm. “In sloping areas that benefit from contouring, it is often not practical to use wide equipment used in flatter areas,” he said. “Tighter turns nearer the top of slopes can minimize the capacity effects of equipment that is too wide.” Although 24- or 48-row planters may be useful in the flatlands of south central and southwestern Minnesota, they aren’t a good choice for southeastern Minnesota. The maximum width that can be used on most steep slopes is 12- or 16-row planters in order to maintain conservation practices. Older terraces only have about 90 feet of farmable space between them making them difficult to maintain using larger equipment. Since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, farmers have been planting crops along the contour instead of up and down slopes and implementing other conservation measures on their farms to help reduce the risk of soil erosion and prevent crops from washing away. However, as farmers work more acres and change to larger equipment to improve efficiencies, conservation practices, such as grassed waterways and terraces, are perceived as production obstacles rather than necessary tools to protect their soil’s long-term productivity and sustainability. Attempts to compensate for this by running up and down along the waterways to avoid spraying them with herbicides can cause tire tracks that will wash any time it rains. Lack of adequate headlands (60 feet or more) needed for turning around larger equipment to stay on the contour leads to 24 or 48 rows being planted up and down the slopes at the field edges. Erosion causes soil to degrade over time reducing its pro-
ductivity. Top soil depth is reduced along with organic matter and nutrient availability. Unproductive soil leads to an increased need for inputs, which costs the farmer money in the long-term and increases the risk of nutrients running off or leaching which causes water quality problems. Most soils in Fillmore County can tolerate erosion of up to 5 tons per acre and still maintain productivity. That’s less than the thickness of a dime over an acre. If erosion rills or gullies are visible, the erosion rate far exceeds this tolerable rate of 5 tons per acre. That means lost productivity on those acres that has to be made up somehow with costly external inputs. Keeping smaller equipment around to use on the steeper slopes is one smart management choice that can be made. Some farmers keep 6- or 8-row planters to fill in the ends and corners left by bigger equipment. Utilizing GPS and variable rate technology can also reduce the risk of waterways getting sprayed with herbicide and can fine tune nutrient applications to reduce runoff and leaching. Auto-section control on planters can be used to work around conservation practices. These and other management alternatives can be used to maximize the efficiency of larger equipment while maintaining needed conservation practices.

Waseca High School... To the Editor, We share in the relief parents and friends of students at Waseca High School feel, who are now sitting around their dinner tables with their children instead of standing over a hospital bed or worse, attending a funeral. What almost occurred in Waseca sends again the message: school killings must end! As parents, we say to your readers there is knowledge that can end these tragedies and answer the question being asked over and over: HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by Eli Siegel, explains why John David LaDue was driven to amass an arsenal of guns and bombs with the intent to annihilate his family and fellow classmates: it is contempt, the feeling in people that says, “if I can make less of this and this and this, my glory is greater.” Lauren and Bruce Blaustein New York, NY

Information and opinions given at Kingsland community meeting svtaxpayer says: Start the meeting with the same old rehash about how great college classes and technology are. So what? Hear it at every meeting. The addition discussed is mostly gym and auditorium with some offices. Mostly no classroom space. No 21st century learning. Gyms are 19th century! To fit in 850 students, much will be lost. Rooms will have to be shared. Labs and libraries and other spaces will be eliminated to cram all the kids into existing space. Plus, everyone hopes their student’s room will be in the basement, stuffed into the old locker rooms, right? While we have three gyms and news-worthy Project Labs. Count classes and count rooms. It doesn’t add up. Use what we have or build CLASSROOMS, not gyms. And it’s already been heard ...if we do a referendum in the summer... Attendee says: I do think the meeting went well in terms of sharing information. But also feel that the board pres and some others talked around questions and did not answer them, a few times the pres in particular would answer one question and then turn around and say something different. Doesn’t make me very confident they know what they are doing. The grounds keeper was the most open and honest in my opinion. He said it truthfully, good and bad. I am thankful they had the meeting for many reasons. I am worried that they didn’t see not one person there seemed to be for going to one site. No one spoke up for it but many spoke against it and there were a lot of people there. I don’t think the board is currently listening to the people of the district. I hope I am wrong.

For example: ‘Todd Lechtenberg gave an update on finances and the budget. Approximately 70% of the budget has been completed.’ This is a matter of budget, fund, a big deal to the tax payers. Much more was said in the update. Details, details, details. Many times the FJC is missing in depth reporting and too much is left out. On the other hand, there are times within the same article that a topic that is nonessential is broadened. I am sorry to point out the negative, the FCJ certainly does many good things as well. I am offering a suggestion to a few of your reporters, broaden your writing skills or perhaps the editor can start giving more responsibilities to better or more experienced writers. At the very least, spread the story wealth so your publication is not as mundane. KingslandGrad95 says: EnglishTeacher, i find it ironic that you are commenting about the FCJ’s lack of details on certain aspects when you can’t even spell “English” correctly. If you think you can do a better job of reporting, why don’t you contact the FCJ about offering your services? See more comments at

a small strip of land. Todd said the petition is not valid, as there are not enough signatures. A petition requires a certain percentage of property owners, and this would include everyone that owns a unit in the building. He also stated the condo unit doesn’t want to pay for a survey if the city is not going to entertain a vacation. City Attorney Tom Manion said it would be hard to have good input at a public hearing without a description or survey of the property so they know exactly what portion of land is being discussed. Todd said he would contact Anderson and let him know they need more signatures, and the city would need a survey before moving forward. Chamber of Commerce Dee Slinde, the director of the Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber is working on beautification efforts, including replacing mulch in certain areas, taking care of the flower baskets and flags, and watering plants. She said they would like to have Andy Drake

help out and eventually have the city take on some of those responsibilities. She also said if the city had any money to spare to help they would be very grateful. Todd said the Chamber was asking for help covering the costs of mulch, and they need enough for 35 square yards. Smith asked if it was normal to replace the mulch every year, as they asked for money for mulch last year. Rahn said they need to get more information before making any decisions. Public Utilities Theresa Coleman from the Public Utilities Commission told the council she had recently spoken with Mike Davy from Davy Engineering about the water rates being structured to pay for the upcoming treatment facility. She said they will be changing the way they are currently billing. The base charge will be based on the average water usage for one full-time home. Coleman also asked the city to pass three resolutions declaring areas where there were water main breaks as local emergencies. This will allow the PU to bypass the bidding process and

find a contractor as soon as possible to get the water back. Weiser will be doing the work in these three spots. Councilor Tom Smith asked where the money was coming from, and she said Public Utilities will be paying for the plumbing and equipment, and the city will pay for the blacktopping. Smith added he had received some question about why the equipment was sitting at the locations not doing anything when it was supposed to be an emergency. Coleman said the heavy rain for more than a week put a delay on the project. When Smith asked about the contractor, Coleman said the Public Utilities has a lot of faith in Jim Peterson and Weiser. The total cost of all of the project is going to be around $100,000, with $22,000 of that being materials. Public Utilities will be paying the larger portion of that cost. The council passed all three resolutions. DNR Lease The DNR has been leasing an office at the Chamber of Commerce building, and the lease expires this year. Craig Blommer from the DNR explained to the
council the lease started 30 years ago when the museum basement was remodeled for their offices. The DNR later moved to the Chamber building, which has worked out well for them. Blommer said they would like to stay in Lanesboro and come up with a new lease agreement. City Attorney Tom Manion said the original lease amount was $166 per month. The space they are in now is about five times smaller than the space at the museum, but it is also 30 years later. Blommer said their office space is about 250 square feet, and they pay half the utilities on the building. He was not the person who does the negotiating, but he wanted to be sure the city would like them to remain, and he wanted to know a contact person. Rahn said the city is more than willing to allow them to stay, and that Blommer should contact David Todd about the negotiations. Heritage Preservation Commission Todd said there is a potential buyer for the Olivia’s Attic building, but there was a question about the mural painted on the west side. They buyers
would like to be able to change the sign, and Todd said the HPC decided they could change it as long as they keep the font and colors historically appropriate. The HPC also looked at getting some more historically appropriate signage at Merchant’s Bank. Also, the Heritage Preservation Awards have been finalized, and letters were sent out. Playground Equipment The new playground equipment will be installed starting on Monday, June 16, and will be completed by July 1. Lanesboro School has agreed to contribute $45,000 toward the cost of equipment and installation. Todd said the old equipment is not salvageable and will most likely be scrapped. Ambulance Lee Peterson, Ambulance Director, told the council about the three new defibrillators they received. He explained they received a grant from the county. One will be in the fire chief ’s truck, another in the ambulance, and the third one in a cabinet near the city office. They will be See LANESBORO Page 13

Preston street construction to start after Trout Days By Karen Reisner At the Preston City Council May 5 meeting, City Administrator Joe Hoffman provided updates on the Twenty-14 and Industrial Park projects. Contractors are expected to start Twenty-14 street projects on May 19. Construction for the street projects will occur between the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. No work is expected on Sundays or holidays. Construction should be substantially completed by October 13. Hoffman said the public will be kept informed as construction moves forward. Discussion moved on to the North Industrial Park street and utility improvements. At the time of the meeting, Hoffman had not yet been notified as to whether or not the city will receive Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) grant funds. The business development infrastructure grant could pay up to 50 percent of the cost of extending water and electricity to the Industrial Park. Proceeds from the grant if awarded are estimated to exceed $300,000. At the April 7 meeting Brett Grabau, Stantec, presented a feasibility report on infrastructure plans for the North Industrial Park which included a collection pond covering 1.9 acres. Councilman Robert Maust suggested
it would make sense to have the collection or retention pond on the east side of Highway 52 further down the hill to allow for more development in the park. Members of the council were generally in favor of having the pond on the east side of the highway. Grabau said at the April 7 meeting that it was theoretically possible to have the pond on the east side of the highway, but it would be more expensive. Hoffman said they have to make a decision as to where the pond will be located, adding the quickest option is to place the pond in the Industrial Park as originally proposed. Maust wanted to have the city engineer go ahead with a plan without the pond in the Industrial Park. Councilman Charles Sparks said until we know whether or not we will get the DEED grant, we should wait, adding “until it is approved there is no guarantee we will get the money.” Mayor Kurt Reicks commented that if the grant doesn’t come through, we will have to look at other options. Hoffman said they should hear about the grant later this week or next week. Other Business In Brief •A 15 year-old was hired to fill the city’s summer help position as recommended by staff. The two to three month employee does work that would not get
done without the extra help, for example, painting. There was some discussion about his age, as he will not be sixteen until July. Hoffman said there are a lot of things he can do according to the safety director. Councilmen Collett and Maust abstained because of the young man’s age. •The council approved a proclamation recognizing Emergency Medical Services Week as May 18-24. •Election judges were appoint-
ed for 2014 primary and general elections, including David Hokenson, Muriel Hanson, Dawn Ristau, Arthur Callanan, and Richard Petsch. Individuals serving as election judges have to go to a four hour training session. •The council approved the payment of the annual membership fee to the Southeastern Minnesota League of Municipalities, which includes cities in eight southeastern counties.

Culinary professional May Mylnczak will show us that brats are not just for the backyard barbecue with three very different renditions of the basic brat — brats with dijon fundue caramelized onion, brats topped with sauerkraut and a sesame ginger mustard sauce, and brats fired in beer batter with a chipotle aioli sauce. Mary will complete the sweet and savory selections with something decidedly sweet — chocolate pots de creme. But the experience of taste
doesn’t end there. Guests will enjoy samples from Rushford Peterson Valley restaurants, area vineyards, brewers and local beverage distributors. Foods you’ll be sampling include lefse appetizers, ribs, ice cream, chicken burritos, homemade pies, barbecued brisket, New York style cheesecake, and much more.

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende On Saturday April 26, at the Minnesota Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame Banquet, Chatfield’s Joel Viss and Travis Bartels were bestowed lofty honors. Viss was named State Coach of the Year. Bartels was name State Assistant Coach of Paul Trende the Year. Both of these awards are chosen from every wrestling coach, in every class, in the state of Minnesota. Chatfield’s twosome are thus the most honored high school wrestling coaches in the state, a humbling award for their hard work and their team’s dedication-inspired achievement. Viss had previously been christened Section 1A and Class A Coach of the Year, Bartels Section 1A and Class A Assistant Coach of the Year. The Gopher wrestling program won Chatfield’s first ever Class A wrestling title in dominating fashion in late February. The dream season came just one year after the Gophers had taken third at state. Congratulations go out to Coach Viss and Coach Bartels and all involved in the Gopher program.
Weather Warriors
It is a big shock for a Minnesota spring; the weather cancelled or postponed a great number of sporting events. Like last year (where snow was the culprit), activities directors were again put in shufflingmode to accommodate a weeklong batch of rain. The TRC baseball and softball seasons have been altered. North and south conference champions will be determined by the ten games played against fellow division opponents. Teams will attempt to play full schedules (two games against division foes, one against inter-division foes), but the former will be prioritized. All in all, the week featured Chatfield baseball, Abbey Loken, and a bunch of golf. Gopher Baseball a Team Thing Brian Baum’s Gophers have gotten off to an excellent start to the season. They’ve done so in workmanlike, star-less fashion. The most drama came in their losses, both by a single run. Chatfield is just one simple glove close away from having a lone loss (to superpower Wabasha-Kellogg). It has all come without starting ace pitcher Nate Skare setting foot on the mound. It has all come as a team effort. Through nine games, five Gopher pitchers had tossed at least seven innings. Five had victories. None of the
seven pitchers to throw had allowed more than two earned runs total. The staff gave up just ten earned runs (team ERA at 1.09). Eight guys had three or more RBI’s (Tommy Jech 10). Nine had at least five hits (Jake Neis 14). Eight scored at least four runs (Neis 12). The team batting average sat at .297. In games versus Dover-Eyota, Caledonia-Spring Grove, and Lewiston-Altura, it was a different handful of guys each night/morning. The Eagles were no match for Chatfield on Thursday, as the Gophers plowed thru D-E 15-5 in six innings. Eleven Gophers had a hit and eleven scored a run. Seniors Zach Eggers (3-3, 3 RBI) and Ben Pierce (3-3, 2B, 2 R, RBI) led the way. Sophomore pitcher Tristan Aguilar picked up his first varsity win (4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K; 2-2, RBI). An eight-run fourth inning made it 10-2 Gophers. D-E’s Dillon Lehman was 2-2 with 2 RBI. Chatfield then welcomed C-SG. Junior pitcher Ethan Woltz tossed a gem (6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K, Win). The only hit he allowed was a bloop single. Drew Hurley got the save. The duo allowed just three base-runners. They got help from an error-less defense. Offensively, the Gophers got an RBI-single from Neis, an RBI-double from Noah Grant, and an RBI-sac fly from Jech all in the third inning. The 3-0 lead held up as the final. Grant (2-3, 2B, RBI) was the only player with two hits. Neis reached base safely three times (1-2, SB, R, 2 BB). The Gophers then played L-A in a Saturday morning game. Jech grabbed a bat before he took to the mound. He gave himself some run support with a first inning 2-run double. It was a lightning rod for the Gopher’s early offense. Woltz followed with an RBI single. Dan Narveson followed that with a 2-run double of his own. A half inning into the game, Chatfield led 5-0. Jech took it from there. The strong right-hander went the distance (7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 5 BB, 6 K, Win; 1-3, 2B, 2 RBI). Neis (2-4, R, SB), Hurley (2-4, RBI), and another error-less defensive effort also helped the Gopher cause. Chatfield got their third win in as many days, 6 to 1. The wins put Chatfield at 7-2. With a couple doubleheader sweeps, the Gophers start the year 11-2. Loken Powers ‘Canes Past RP A couple of area pitchers (Morgan Malley, Samantha Bratland) have already put on some awesome performances. Lest anyone forget about Hous-
ton’s All-State Honorable Mention hurler Abbey Loken. The senior’s talents were on display as the ‘Canes battled RushfordPeterson. Loken had the Trojan line-up, save for Haley Mueller, in the palm of her hand. She struck out a season high 18 batters. Mueller (3-4, two 3B’s, 2 R, SB) had three of R-P’s four hits. With the game generously in hand (Houston up 11-2) in the seventh, Loken dished out some offensive punishment with a 2-run HR. The final was 13-4 ‘Canes. Loken (7 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 0 ER, 18 K, 2 BB, Win; 3-5, HR, 4 RBI, R) was a two-fold standout. One-two hitters Alyvia King (0-2, 3 BB) and Becca Proudfoot (3-5, 3 RBI) each scored three runs. Six errors hurt R-P’s cause. The Hurricanes improve to 3-4. R-P falls to 1-5. Golf Teams Stay Busy Golf was the most active sport of the week. Athletes were able to tolerate the light rain, drizzle, and cool temperatures. FC’s teams stayed hot. The boys downed R-P (168-184). Trevor Barnes (39) medaled. Alex Lange (FC), Jordan Miller (FC), and Hudson Stensgard (R-P) each shot 41’s. The Falcons then moved to 7-0 with wins over Kingsland and Chatfield (162220-226). Connor Morem (39) medaled.

Part 2: Mabel-Canton senior class trip diaries 2014 Day 4 By Abby Hanson and Mason Henry Wake up calls came at 6:45 a.m. We loaded the bus at 7:30 and left the hotel at 8 a.m. We first headed to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home. The 43-room mansion was surrounded by botanical gardens and had two long terraces on either side. These served as walkways, as well as a way to collect water. Underneath the terraces were an ice house, stables for horses, a wine cellar, and the kitchen. Guests that visited Monticello at the time hardly ever saw slaves because they were always working under the terraces. After seeing the extravagant mansion, we loaded the bus and drove to Richmond, Va. We drove down Monument Boulevard and saw statues of famous generals, including Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee. Our next stop was the 5-star Berkley Hotel for lunch. Jamestown was our next stop. We learned all about the first settlement in America. We visited one building where they did glass blowing. Everyone was able to take a lot of pictures, including the familiar “falling down the well” pose. We even spent a few minutes on the beach of the James River. Next we went to our hotel and
had time for supper. Our final trip was into Old Williamsburg for a candlelit evening of colonial dancing at the Capitol. It was fun to see the difference between the professionals and our classmates dancing! Afterward we walked through the town to the public stocks. Here we could put in our head and hands, or our feet, to see what it was like to be a prisoner back then. Our final destination was back at the hotel where we were finally able to take a break after such a long day. Day 5 By Christine Lee, Chelcie Busch, and Kaysey Lund On day five we visited Colonial Williamsburg, Va. We started off with a tour of the Governor’s Palace. The Governor’s Palace was a very big building filled with bright- colored walls and numerous bedrooms. After the tour we were given a couple hours to tour on our own. We split into groups and began to visit small buildings set up to look like they were from Colonial times. Some places to visit were the Mental Institution, Jail house, Apothecary, and the Bakery. People who worked there were dressed up to look like they were from that time. This made it seem as if we were a part of that time as well. It was interesting to see how they lived back
Monday, May 12, 2014 then. In Williamsburg there is the famous College of William and Mary. This is a college filled with many above- average students. We stopped at this college to eat and also get a feel for what the campus looked like. After enjoying our lunch on campus, we took off on the bus for a couple hours to Shirley Plantation. Shirley Plantation is settled next to the James River. There has been 11 generations of the Hill Carter family that have lived in the mansion that sits on Shirley Plantation. A Carter family still lives in the house today. We were given a wonderful tour guide, Julian, who gave us a tour of the inside of the mansion. May we just say, the house was beautiful. After getting a tour of the house, Julian took us outside where he had us play a game that was normally played during that time. We were enjoying beautiful weather, and we would have played the game for hours if it weren’t for our next activity. After leaving the beautiful Shirley Plantation, we took off to our next hotel in Fredericksburg, Va. We made it to Fredericksburg around 6:30 p.m. Most of the senior class went swimming until it was time to go back to the rooms. Although we fit a lot into one day, it will always be a day to remember. See next week’s Fillmore County Journal for the next entries in the Mabel-Canton senior class trip diaries.

Houston Robotics Team presents its trip to World Championship in St. Louis By Angie Rodenburg The Houston School Board had a very busy meeting on May 6. In attendance was the Houston Robotics Team that told the board about their trip to the World Championship in St. Louis. Team members Lilli Carlson and Evan Heintz said that even though they did not receive an award at the World Championship, they did have a lot of fun. They also informed the school board of the fundraising plans the team has for the summer. The students have already done a tremendous job of garnering community support for the program, as they were able to get 65 sponsors to fund their trip to St. Louis in only a matter of two weeks. The team plans on continuing to rally community support to ensure that the program has the budget they need to participate in the years to come. The team will be required to build an entirely new robot next year and the team plans on converting the robot they used this year into a t-shirt shooter for the summer parades. The school board congratulated the team once more on their tremendous achievement of making it to the World Championships in their first year. Principal Todd Lundberg also brought a request to the board to hire a Robotics coach and grant the team a budget of $1,000. The team was coached by volunteers this past season, however, Robotics coaching is a time consuming job that volunteers cannot be expected to fulfill. Principal Lundberg also noted that a $1,000 is very minimal for the program and estimated that the yearly budget will be between $8,000- $15,000. The majority of the budget will be acquired by fundraising,which is a key component to the program. The school board will vote on the proposal at the next school board meeting. At the meeting Jason Ludwigson, who works with Technology Integration at the school, presented a project proposal on behalf of Martin Momsen, Houston High School science teacher, and himself to restore a prairie ecosystem. The plan is to restore the prairie system by reestablishing a native prairie on the grounds of Houston High School that students in Momsen’s Environmental Science class could maintain and study. Ludwigson and Momsen had a few locations in mind to reestablish the prairie ecosystem. A few suggested locations were back by the old volleyball court, in the front of the school, and along the pond by the football field. The school board voiced concern about tall grass areas being a fire hazard and asked that Ludwigson and Momsen talk with the Fire Chief and Facilities Department before the board votes on the matter. Board member Bonner
ended the discussion saying, “The educational value [of the project] is amazing.” Principal Lundberg also presented a request to the board to have Houston High School produce a musical of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” for the 2014-2015 school year. The last musical that Houston High School produced was “The Sound of Music” in 2008. The proposal included a request for $5,669.50 to cover the director and music director salaries, royalty fees, and supplies. The board will vote on the proposal at the next school board meeting. Principal Lundberg also sought board approval for the Junior/ Senior trip to Washington D.C. that is scheduled for November 29-December 5, 2014. The board will vote on the proposal at the next school board meeting. At the meeting, the board voted on and approved to house two owl statutes that will be provided by the Legacy Grant given by SELCO. The grant is for owl six statues that will be spread throughout the town. The pieces will be an artistic interpretation of six owl species found in the Houston area. The board also approved Houston’s membership in the Minnesota State High School League and approved Q Comp to continue as the Alternative Teacher Professional Pay System for Houston Public Schools. The board also took a look at the first draft of the superintendent contract for Krin Abraham, who accepted the position. The contract, once finalized and signed, will be tentative until Abraham’s superintendent licensure is complete. The meeting came to a close with board member Bonner saying on the board’s behalf, “We want to thank our teachers for the great work they do.” The next Houston School Board meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 20 at the Houston High School Library.

A little of this, A little of that. By Kathy Little Nancy Drew, Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple and Kay Scarpetta are my detective heroes. Since I love to read mystery novels, I start to think of these characters as real people who are exceptionally bright and who have family, friends and even hobbies! Nancy Drew drives her sporty roadster when not detecting. Sherlock Holmes plays his violin in off hours while Miss Marple knits and Kay Scarpetta cooks. As a long time fan of “Law and Order”, I have perfected “police speak” for investigating crime. For instance, I know that in order to solve a case it is necessary to determine motive, means and opportu-
nity. I hope you readers will help me solve this mystery: WHY DO PEOPLE STILL COOK? It is a fact that cookbooks are still being published and sold. Just check out Barnes and Noble. Techies can consult various cooking sites on the web. Cooking shows abound on television. I prefer to consult cookbooks and have at least 30, plus folders and boxes full of recipes from NEWSPAPERS and magazines. Some of my favorites are vin-
Popovers
3 large eggs, room temperature 1 1/2 cups whole milk, room temperature 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 1/4 tsp. salt vegetable oil nonstick cooking spray Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a popover pan on rack in lowest position. Whisk eggs and milk in a large bowl until very frothy (about 1 minute). Add flour and salt to egg mixture and whisk until smooth but with still some small lumps remaining. Carefully remove popover pan from oven and coat with cooking spray. If you are using a regular muffin tin, only coat and fill the outer cups and reduce baking time by 5 minutes. Fill popover cups 3/4 full. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce oven temp to 350. Bake 20 minutes more until puffs are golden brown and dry to the touch. Turn them out on a wire rack immediately and poke a small opening with a paring knife in the side of each. Serve immediately with butter and whatever. Makes 6 large popovers or 10 small popovers, if using a muffin tin.
tage like “Aunt Bea’s Cookbook” from the Andy Griffith show. At Goodwill I recently purchased “The Soprano Family Cookbook”, complete with family pictures and stories. You must remember Tony and the gang (mob). It is amusing and may even become a collectable and increase in value. But back to the mystery question. There are enough restaurants and prepared frozen microwaveable food that nobody should have to turn on a stove anymore. When the first TV dinners appeared in stores, some predicted the demise of home cooking. It didn’t happen. Kitchens are bigger, better and more expensive than ever. Cooks keep on cooking. What is their motive? Perhaps, money, health, or creativity? So on to means. Every kind of cooking utensil is available (even cooking torches), famous cook or chef designed pots and pans abound , and stainless steel appli-

ances are all the rage. As for opportunity: sit down family dinners, birthdays, holiday meals, brunches, lunches, showers, and potlucks provide ample situations to showcase culinary ability. So search your conscience. Lie detector tests will not be given. Only you know why you continue to cook. I would love to hear your confession. I have to continued to cook because I have spent money on all the cooking toys: china, crystal, chargers, linens, napkin holders, place card holders, nut cups, and even knife rests. If I don’t use these

items that take up a lot of room in our house, I will be relentlessly interrogated by my husband as to why I buy stuff we really don’t need and never use. I will not be allowed to call my lawyer, and he will sentence me to “life without shopping”. I have my defense memorized. Since my last purchase was a popover pan at a garage sale (my friend Carolann Collette has two of these, both purchased at garage sales), I baked popovers using Martha Stewart’s recipe.

Ostrander City Council Keep SAFETY at the top of your spring home organizes community meeting improvement project list By Jackie Horsman When the Ostrander City Council heard from Brian Malm, of Bolton & Menk, in regards to the new sewer and water treatment center there was a lot to take in. So much that Deputy Mayor Pam Kunert suggested Bolton & Menk representatives visit with community members during a ‘town hall’ type session. Malm was open to this suggestion and it was agreed a meeting would occur in June, date yet to be determined. The project, on track for 2015, is a big but necessary undertaking for the city. At a projected cost of just over $6 million, the council heard from Bolton & Menk as well as Laurie Balata, a representative from Rural Development. Balata explained rough numbers and projections, determining the city would be eligible for roughly $2.7 million in grant monies. These monies include a grant from Fillmore County in the amount of $1.5 million. It was also determined a loan could be secured for nearly all of the remaining costs for the exception of approximately $350,000. However, the city will most likely be eligible for other grant programs that would absorb
the remainder of the project. Rural Development recommended an increase in community bill costs, suggesting $55 per month for water and $55 per month for sewer. This would total a $110 monthly bill. Mayor Pat Nesler noted the suggested increase is $50 more than what citizens pay now. Balata recommended increases over time and Balm agreed to draw up an increase timeline for the council. The proposed increase gave Deputy Mayor Kunert the opportunity to again reiterate the importance of an educational meeting for the community. The council also heard from Wolf’s Den owner, Lynn Dempewolf. Dempewolf asked the council for an outdoor dance permit as well as possible use of the community center and/ or small park area next to her business. Dempewolf explained a fundraising effort was being arranged for the Larry Vreeman family. The hopes are to start a city park fund in honor of the late Larry Vreeman. Plans are already underway for an all day event on June 21 that would include children’s activities hosted by a local 4-H club, a bean bag tournament, a 5k, silent auction and other activities. The evening would host a parking lot dance at the Wolf’s Den. The council was on board and in agreement with event. Uffda Days will be held the last weekend in July and the city of Ostrander is looking for volunteers to sit on the planning committee. If any citizens are interested, they are welcomed to contact City Clerk Chris Hyrkas.
ROCHESTER, Minn.– Whether landscaping or planting trees, shrubs or flowers this spring, Minnesota Energy Resources reminds everyone “safety first” and to call 8-1-1 or click to contact GOPHER STATE ONE CALL before any projects involving digging begins. Utility locate specialists will come to the requestor’s home, locate and mark all underground utility services in yards free of charge. No matter where residents live, the natural gas, electric, cable TV, water and sewer lines may be buried underground. The 8-1-1 GOPHER STATE ONE CALL is a coordinated, one call center that was established to keep digging accidents from happening. At least two working days are required for locates prior to beginning a digging project. “Contacting 8-1-1 is a state law and it requires notifying GOPHER STATE ONE CALL before you excavate,
grade, trench, dig, drill, auger, tunnel, scrape or plow,” said Jeff Larson, Senior External Affairs Manager at Minnesota Energy Resources. “Excavation means anything that moves, removes or displaces earth, rock or other material in or on the ground. Residents are reminded to leave an 18-inch buffer zone on each side of a marked facility,” added Larson. Projects that require a call could also include installing fence posts, digging a post hole for your mailbox, posting temporary yard signs, pounding stakes for temporary party tents and building a deck. Nationwide, a utility line is damaged once every three minutes and one-third of these incidents are caused by failure of the homeowner or professional excavator to call 8-1-1. The misconception is most home owners think the 8-1-1 hotline only
applies to contractors who use large construction-style power digging equipment. The unfortunate result, according to Larson, may be serious injuries and disruption to natural gas or other utility service to entire neighborhoods. Minnesota Energy Resources has 4,500 miles of underground natural gas pipeline and about 203,800 lateral services going to homes and businesses in Minnesota. This year marks the 26th anniversary of excavation safety in Minnesota. Either dial 8-1-1 or submit a locate request through the email-a-locate system on line at GOPHER STATE ONE CALL http://www.gopherstateonecall. org/.

Eagle Cliff Campground to host first-time blood drive over Memorial Day weekend Red Cross cooling towels and special T-shirts offered to all presenting donors Eagle Cliff Campground is partnering with the American Red Cross to kick off the Red Cross “100 Days of Summer. 100 Days of Hope.” campaign by reminding eligible donors that their support is needed. On May 24 and 25, Eagle Cliff will host a blood drive to help ensure patients have the lifesaving blood products they need this summer. In appreciation, all presenting donors will receive a Red Cross cooling towel and special T-shirt, while supplies last. “We are so excited to start the camping season off this year by hosting a Red Cross blood drive,” said Emily Spende, owner, Eagle
Cliff Campground. “Making a blood donation with the Red Cross is an easy way to extend hope and help ensure lifesaving blood products are available for patients here in our community and across the nation.” Eagle Cliff Campground blood donation opportunities: •May 24 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Eagle Cliff Campgrounds in Lanesboro •May 25 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Eagle Cliff Campgrounds in Lanesboro Vacations and summer activities often result in a decline in blood donations during the summer.

Minnesota ranks second in U.S. for bicycle-friendly states ST. PAUL, Minn. – Kicking off National Bike Month, the League of American Bicyclists today announced that Minnesota ranks as the second most bicycle-friendly state in the nation. Minnesota has consistently ranked in the top five since 2008. “This ranking is recognition of the work on behalf of bicycling being done by both the public and private sectors throughout the state,” said Dorian Grilley, Executive Director, Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota. “It is not only because of the good work that is being done by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, but because the Department of Health, Explore Minnesota
Tourism, Department of Natural Resources, other public agencies, local governments and many of our state’s businesses, both big and small, are all engaged in making bicycling better in Minnesota,” Nearly half of Minnesotans rode a bicycle last year, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation 2012 Omnibus Transportation Survey. The Bicycle Friendly States ranking is based on key indicators, including infrastructure and funding that provide safe places to bike; education and encouragement programs that promote cycling; and passage and enforcement of bicycle-

of June, July and August, about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what patients need. The trend is particularly noticeable around holidays like Memorial Day. “100 Days of Summer. 100 Days of Hope.” runs through September 1. All summer, the Red Cross will encourage at least two more donors to give blood at each Red Cross blood drive – above what is expected. Individuals can visit redcrossblood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to choose a day to donate and help sustain adequate supplies over the summer months.
How to Donate Blood Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and
weight requirements. About the American Red Cross The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

friendly laws that make it safe and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities to ride. “We are excited and encouraged to see real progress in states like California, Minnesota and Utah,” said Andy Clarke, president of the League of American Bicyclists. “Overall, we still see a lot of opportunity to realize the huge potential of bicycling to promote health, economic development, and quality of life.” Washington remains the top ranked state for the seventh year in a row, followed by Minnesota, Wisconsin, Delaware and Oregon. Minnesota received its ranking because of many reasons, including: • Partnerships among several state agencies and local/statewide advocacy groups that are encouraging increased commuter and recreational bicycle use and leading the Safe Routes to School program. • Recognition as the “Best Trails State” in the nation in 2012. The state features more than 600 miles of paved trails managed by the Department of Natural Resources. The DNR adds about 10 miles of paved trail to the system each year. National, regional and local governments manage thousands of additional trail miles. • Nice Ride Minnesota, the first large-scale bicycle sharing system in the nation, expanded into St. Paul in 2012.The program has more than 1,500 bicycles and 170 kiosks in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Expansion is also planned in Greater Minnesota. • The Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota, Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota published “WALK! BIKE! FUN!” — a comprehensive curriculum with engaging lessons for kids in kindergarten through sixth grade. Through classroom activities and on-the-bike skills practice, instructors can teach young people how to travel safely in their communities. • The state has high rates of bicycle commuting and recreational use. • The nationally recognized bicycle safety education campaign, “Share the Road,” helps improve awareness of bicycle laws for both motorists and bicyclists. Several state agencies, including the departments of Health, Natural Resources, Transportation and Tourism invest in bicycling as an
important component of Minnesota’s transportation system. Bicycle tourism has a positive impact on Minnesota’s economy and being physically active can decrease the risk of a variety of diseases such as heart disease and stroke, diabetes, depression and certain types of cancer. “This year’s bicycle friendly state announcement is a great acknowledgement of the dedication and commitment of our many agency partners, advocates and bicyclists from across the state towards making Minnesota a bicycle friendly state,” said Tim Mitchell, Minnesota Department of Transportation bicycle and pedestrian coordinator. He said the Minnesota Department of Health has helped elevate interest in biking in the state. “Their Statewide Health Improvement Pro-
gram has assisted more than 250 communities to increase access to bicycling and walking opportunities over the past few years, making the healthy choice an easy choice.” Mitchell said while the ranking is a great achievement, there is work to do. “We can do even better,” he added. “The best way to continue to improve is to learn from constituents who use the highways, bike lanes and shoulders to bike. MnDOT is asking the public’s input into developing a statewide bicycle system plan. Feedback will help MnDOT identify and recommend routes, improve existing facilities in the bike system and more effectively address the needs of bicycle riders in the state.To participate, interested persons can go online at www.mndot.gov/bike.

RASA summer theater production auditions upcoming Rushford Area Society of the Arts will be holding auditions for this summer’s community theater production of ‘The Butler Did It”, on Thursday evening, May 15, at 6 p.m., and Saturday, May 17 at 9 a.m. in the Rushford Peterson High School Theater. There are roles for five men and five women – all adult. This is strictly a comedy with no music. The play will be directed by Kathleen Bryant of Winona. If you have any questions regarding the auditions or the production, please call Brenda at 507 864 7525. The production will be held July 16, 17, 18, 19, & 20 at the Rushford Peterson High School Theater, with rehearsals to
begin on May 25, 2014. This comedy parodies every English mystery play ever written: but it has a decidedly American flair. Miss Maple, a dowager with a reputation for “clever” weekend parties, invites a group of detective writers to eerie Ravenswood Manor on Turkey Island where they are to impersonate their fictional characters. The hostess has arranged all sorts of amusing incidents: a mysterious voice on the radio, a menacing face at the window, a mad killer on the loose. Who is that body in the wine cellar anyway? Why do little figurines keep toppling from the mantle? Then a real murder takes place, and Miss Maple is
outraged. She offers an immense reward to the “detective” who can bring the killer to justice. And what an assortment of zany would-be sleuths! When they’re not busy tripping over clues, they trip over each other! Laughs collide with thrills, and the climax is a real seat-grabber as the true killer is unmasked, and almost everyone turns out to be someone else!

Area businesses work together to bring local options at Fillmore County Wedding Show By Jackie Horsman Small business owner, Trisha Christoperson, is full of vision. She started her business, Sweetie Cakes, out of her home with the idea of bringing a local option of baked delights to southeast Minnesota communities. Featuring only made from scratch treats, with original recipes and a whole lot of talent, Sweetie Cakes is well on its way to success. Within a year of starting out, Trisha was renting kitchen space from another small business owner in the area and devising a plan to help other local businesses achieve success. Christopherson organized the Fillmore County Wedding Showcase, which is believed to be the first of its kind for the county. The show, held on Saturday, April 26 at the Kingsland High School gym in Spring Valley,
Minn. featured only local businesses that offered services in wedding event planning. For engaged couple, Sawyer Hanson and Marisa Bite, it was a treat to entertain the idea of supporting the local economy as they make their plans for their dream to come true. Sawyer’s mother, Lisa Hanson, explained she had brought the couple there so they could understand the importance of what was offered in the area and support the businesses that support the local communities. Christopherson reached out to several businesses throughout the county and neighboring small counties in hopes of creating a business helping business atmosphere and relationships, while being able to create awareness to consumers. Much of what a couple would need or
want for their special day, if not everything, can be found right in their own backyards. From photographers to caterers, Christopherson thought of everything and local businesses that stepped up will reap the benefit of participating. Dawn Sloan, owner of Radiance Photography in LeRoy, Minn., was excited to be a part of the showcase. She explained how keeping low package pricing has been an advantage to her business. Understanding the competitive market and the tendency for consumers to naturally look in larger cities for services, she prides herself on her relationships with her clients. Getting to know them, making them comfortable; these are the things that make great photos. When a couple feels natural and has a good rapport with
their photographer, it makes for beautiful and real memories to be captured by Sloan. Char Carlson, of Spring Valley, was one of the vendors on hand for the showcase. Carlson has been an ordained minister for seven years. With the ability to customize a wedding ceremony however a bride and groom envision it, Carlson is able to perform a ceremony just about anywhere, including her own home. Her motto is, ‘Your wedding, your way’, and she prides herself on living up to that when
it comes to joining people in matrimony. A great first run by Christopherson, the Fillmore County Showcase featured a fashion show that included the newest and trendiest wedding day fashions. There were multiple prize packages given away to attendees as well as samples and/or special package pricing available to only those who attended. For a couple like Hanson and Bite, the intimate setting and the ability to speak to the actual

Living in a small town and helping local small businesses and organizations succeed is one of the most rewarding feelings for me. Being a part of that success is something you can’t find everywhere.”

Gabby Kinneberg began working in her local community at a young age. Growing up on a dairy farm and having a mom run a local pizza restaurant gave her the best of both worlds. She was interested in marketing and advertising at a young age and didn’t even know it. After graduating from Fillmore Central High School Gabby went to Winona State University originally to be a teacher but then realized Mass Communications-Advertising was where she wanted to be. During her senior year at WSU, Gabby began freelance writing for the Fillmore County Journal and also delivered papers to various locations around Winona County. After graduation Gabby moved back to Preston and began working for SMG Web Design as a Website Consultant and Social Media Specialist. She then moved down to the print side of the business as a Graphic Designer for the Fillmore County Journal as well as Perfect Glossy. Being able to help businesses and organizations succeed through advertising is a huge passion of Gabby’s. Being out in the community at a young age has helped develop Gabby’s passion for marketing and community involvement. When she isn’t at work you will find her helping out with some kind of community activity.

Artist Adam Manley to come to Lanesboro LANESBORO, Minn. - Mixed Media Artist Adam Manley will be Lanesboro Arts Center’s 39th Artist in Residence: May 17-31, 2014, working on a public art project involving place and history and architecture. PUBLIC INVITED to participate on Saturday, May 24 in downtown Lanesboro 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. From Portland, Maine, Adam Manley will be Artist in Residence with Lanesboro Arts Center May 17-31, 2014. Manley’s work is about how we interact with and understand our surroundings. “I see our sense of place as linked inextricably to the familiar objects, structures, architecture, and infrastructure of our surroundings,” says Manley. While in Lanesboro, he will be creating a structure with materials and objects found in ‘our place’ of Lanesboro and southeast Minnesota. He is inviting the public to interact with the structure that he has
created by entering it one at a time, and providing a series of documentations of themselves, and their own connection with agricultural life, architecture, history, or pursuits. This public interaction will take place on Saturday, May 24, from 11 a.m. -2 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. in downtown Lanesboro, in front of the AceTek building (formerly Ace Communications). Visitors will be invited to write, record sound, and photograph themselves at the time of the interaction, and all of this documentation will be compiled as a part of the project. “I’m interested in getting as much input as possible, and this invitation is open to all participants, no matter how connected they are with these things.” The artist hopes that he can glean some inkling of the importance and relevance of agriculture and its vernacular architecture and objects through this collection of information. “It is my hope that the objects
I make will instill a mix of emotions in people. Many of my most recent works contain elements of fear, safety, watchfulness, wonder, humor, and confusion simultaneously. My goal is that the objects themselves will offer the viewer an opportunity to rethink his or her own comfort zones and senses of place.” For more information about Adam Manley’s project, contact Sara Baskett at Lanesboro Arts Center, 507-467-2446 / info@ lanesboroarts.org. Trained in furniture making, design, construction, and general building of things, Adam Manley creates human scale sculptures and objects that are meant to speak of and interact with the landscape and those that inhabit it. Manley is interested in the wide expanses of land and space that we inhabit. Having grown up in the Adirondack part of Upstate New York and exploring the various natural and manmade areas of the Northeast and
The FCJ reaches over 13,000 household each week. some throughout the West, he has a natural fascination with these spaces and how we inhabit them. In his sculptural work, he plays with the sense of place that exists in everyone. Manley employs recognizable man-made forms from familiar settings in order to create objects that warp this sense of place. He uses altered scale, juxtaposition of disparate imagery, and carefully chosen settings within the landscape to force the viewer to reassess his or her surroundings and reconsider their perspectives of the spaces that they are accustomed to. His website contains more descriptions and photographs about these kinds of projects: www. adamjohnmanley.com. Since its inception in 2001, Lanesboro Arts Center has brought 38 artists to Lanesboro for Artist Residencies. Adam Manley’s project was awarded one of two 2014 Residencies by a panel of arts professionals, from a pool of forty applicants. In Lanesboro, Minnesota,
the Lanesboro Residency Program provides opportunities for emerging artists to create new work and integrate work into the local community. Lanesboro Arts Center Residencies include stipend, lodging and studio space. Annual application deadline is June 30. For guidelines or more information, contact Lanesboro Arts Center, 507-467-2446 / info@lanesboroarts.org / www.lanesboroarts.org/cac-artist-in-residence. php. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund. Special thanks to Frank Wright and AceTek for providing studio and installation space for this Residency. The Lanesboro Arts Center serves as a regional catalyst for artistic excellence and educational development in providing diverse art experiences for people of all ages.
Performance season opens on Blood donors give patients the chance to create a lifetime of hope Dreamacres Farm The Dreamery Rural Arts Initiative opens its season on DreamAcres Farm (outside Wykoff, Minn.) with Bluegrass music by Duluth’s own Riverside Bog Stompers on May 16 at 8pm in the farm’s barn. The event is pay-what-youcan, and follows wood-fired pizza service out of the farm kitchen. All ages are welcome to open the season with lively, foot-stomping sounds. The season continues the following Friday, May 23, at 9 p.m. with a staged play-reading by former Lanesboro resident and Commonweal ensemble member Carla Noack. Noack reads Grounded, a one-woman play by George Brant about about a female fighter pilot who is reassigned to operate a military drone. The plays looks at the broader implications of the transition to drone warfare through a
plausible fictional contemporary story. Noack performed the play in February in Kansas City. Audience should note the play contains adult content and is recommended for ages 18 and over. A discussion of the play will follow the reading. The Dreamery Rural Arts Initiative is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting and expanding arts experiences in rural Fillmore County, and to making use of renewable/sustainable energy sources to do so.
