Lanesboro business owner receives Historic Preservation Award
Peterson implements consequence for non-compliance BY K IRSTEN ZOELLNER kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The City of Peterson is making good on consequences recently instituted for non-compliance to city ordinances. For more than a year, the city has taken steps to clarify ordinances and policies and beef up ability to follow through on correcting situations. This includes non-compliant vehicles, discontinuation of utility services, and a recent look at revised Minnesota Basic Code that covers many of the city’s ordinances. Administrative citations were mailed to three property owners regarding vehicle violations. As per ordinance, they were cited for failing to comply with regulation on location, non-current licensing, number of vehicles stored outside, being inoperable, or any combination of these.

At the May 6 Lanesboro City Council meeting, owner of Granny’s Liquor, Lori Bakke was awarded the Historic Preservation Award for her extensive work and research making sure that her building stays historically accurate. A representative from Smith Schafer & Associates gave the 2018 audit presentation for the council and the Lanesboro Public Utilities Commission. The city’s financial statement was fairly stated, and expenditures remained relatively similar to the previous year. Mayor Jason Resseman read a proclamation declaring May as Arbor Month in Lanesboro and urged residents to help care for
trees so that future generations can also enjoy them. Lanesboro Fire Department Chief David Haugen reported that the fire crew battled two back-to-back structure fires at the beginning of 2019. They are looking into doing a live burn at a building near the school as it is scheduled to be torn down. The school has already done a lot of the asbestos abatement on the house so it should be ready to burn soon. Haugen also gave the public works report. The asphalt plant recently opened up for the year so the crew will be working to fill the potholes around town. “This winter has been an extremely hard year on our roads,” Haugen said about the potholes. “I’ve never seen anything like it before.” Haugen
also noted that it can be tricky to inform Lanesboro residents exactly when the city will be burning at the brush dump due to wind and weather conditions frequently changing, but he does his best to keep them in the loop while utilizing Facebook and other means of communication. He wished to stress to the public the importance of leaving grass clippings and leaves in the proper pile at the brush dump as well as not leaving anything behind that does not belong there. He often finds garbage at the brush dump which he then has to haul away, costing the city money. There was a request to paint the 10 minute parking spots in front of Granny’s Liquor with See LANESBORO Page 2 ➤
vehicles’ licensing was obtained from public property. Each of the citations equates to a $50 fine per vehicle. A second citation will be given for every vehicle that remains 30 days after the first citation. A $75 fine will be imposed for a second citation and 15 days given to correct the issue. Fines continue to accumulate and increase per each citation per vehicle. Likewise, 18 disconnection to utility services notices were mailed from city hall, along with April utility billing. This includes residential property only. After some discussion, it was determined that the ordinance applies to businesses as well and letters to businesses not current on payment will be mailed May 20. See PETERSON Page 15 ➤
Mabel council hears parking compliant BY R ICH WICKS rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com
On May 8, the Mabel City Council held a regular city council meeting. Members in attendance included Adam Wilder, Gary Morken, City Clerk Karen Larson, Kirsten Wyffels, and Terry Torkelson. Mayor Jim Westby was absent, so Torkelson led the meeting. A citizen, Don Kleiboer addressed the council about a concern with a neighbor. Kleiboer said his neighbor appears to be operating an automotive body shop at the property, and often has several vehicles parked in the driveway and on the street, which causes a parking space problem. Kleiboer asked if the city could please check to see if something can be done.
After Kleiboer departed, the council, along with City Attorney Gregory Schieber, discussed the issue. It was pointed out that the property is zoned Residential, so a business should not be operating on the property, without a permit. There was also discussion regarding the need for any vehicles parked on the street to be currently licensed, per state law. The council asked the sheriff’s department to help monitor this situation. Torkelson summarized, “We’ll dig into this some more.” Regarding a previously addressed issue of mosquito control, the council heard from Bob See MABEL Page 7 ➤

diagonal yellow stripes so they can be easily distinguished from regular parking spots. Business owner Lori Bakke mentioned that customers have complained to her that they can’t tell which spots are 10 minute parking only. Haugen recommended not painting the spots with diagonal lines as those often indicates handicap parking spots. The council approved a motion to have Haugen decide how to properly mark the spots to indicate the parking restriction. The park board interviewed two applicants for the part-time seasonal position with the parks department and recommended that the council approve the hiring of both, as the budget will allow it and it would be beneficial to the city. The council approved the hirings of Connor Ruen and Logan Jenssen. It was noted that the EDA board is currently not compliant as city ordinance states that it should be made up of three citizens and two council members. Currently, only one city council member is serving on the board. For some time now, it has been difficult to find and keep members of any kind on the board. The council approved a motion to change the city ordinance to allow the EDA board to be made up of a total of three individuals, two citizens and one council member.

A resolution recognizing the Lanesboro Art Campus and their work in Lanesboro was read. It also stated that the City of Lanesboro supports the efforts of the Lanesboro Art Campus and named John Davis, founder and director of Lanesboro Arts, as the official Arts Ambassador of Lanesboro. The city’s contribution for 2020 to the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation was discussed. In the past, the council has voted to donate $250 to SMIF provided the money is used within Lanesboro. Council member Tom Smith recommended that the amount be raised to $500 in 2020. The council approved the recommendation. Director of the gravel road bike race The Filthy 50, Trenton Raygor spoke to the council about moving the event from Stewartville to Lanesboro. He had already asked MnDOT and Fillmore County, both of which had decided it would be feasible to do so even with the road construction happening this summer and fall. The race, which would take place on gravel roads around Lanesboro, is planned for October 12 and around 1,000 riders are expected to participate. Raygor asked the council for permission to close Parkway and Coffee Street for six and one-half hours on the day of the race. “To put on an event that’s truly welcoming and kind of world class, it takes a little extra, and that’s something we
Call the FCJ at 507-765-2151 to advertise or offer news tips!
want to pursue with the closing of that block,” he said. The proposed closure would start around 10 a.m. and the streets would re-open at 4:30 p.m. Mayor Resseman noted that parking is a huge issue in Lanesboro, especially on weekends which means that the closure could be an inconvenience to local residents and business owners. Owner of Granny’s Liquor, Lori Bakke was in favor of the event being held in Lanesboro, despite the parking issues. “I think it would be in our best interest to see if this is something we could do. I just think it would be a great opportunity for us businesses,” she said. Council member Bridget Harvey agreed. “I think it will be logistically challenging, but beneficial,” she added. Raygor said that, if approved by the council, he plans to make this an annual event in Lanesboro, one which he believed would bring a lot of business to the city and would fill up the local B&Bs and other lodging facilities for that weekend. “They (the riders) would probably take over the entire town,” he said. Mayor Resseman asked that the event planners be sure to keep open lines of communication with city staff and emergency departments. “I think that’s going to be a critical aspect of this,” he said. He also asked that local vendors be utilized before bringing in vendors from out of town. Raygor agreed to both requests. The council approved a motion
to allow the street closure for The Filthy 50 on October 12. Several funding options are being explored for the road repair that needs to be done in Lanesboro. Funding applications have been submitted to MnDOT. Mayor Resseman recently had the opportunity to attend the Mayors Association Conference and was surprised at the reputation Lanesboro holds at a state level. He found that many of the people he spoke with were impressed with how Lanesboro is run and even try to emulate it in their own cities and towns.
City Administrator Michele Peterson noted that she was impressed with how the city staff handled the February 24 blizzard. “Kudos to everybody,” she said. “They did an amazing job for our community.” Peterson recently received her certification from the Minnesota Municipal Clerk’s Association. The council congratulated her on her achievement. The meeting was closed for staff annual reviews. The next Lanesboro City Council meeting will be held on June 3 at 6 p.m. with a time for community input at 5:45 p.m.

C OMMENTARY Devil’s Advocate… The lies they tell U.S. By Aaron Bishop Harmony, MN When you truly know someone, you can generally tell when they are lying or not telling the entire truth. It’s more difficult when you don’t know someone, and harder still if you admire them and often agree with their point of view. It’s easy to let our guard down, because let’s be honest, Aaron Bishop trust isn’t a bad thing. That doesn’t mean too much trust can’t get us into trouble, especially when it concerns those admired figures that we grew up seeing on TV or hearing on the radio. With that in mind, how can we defend ourselves from false or misleading claims that we are told by certain elected officials in their efforts to obtain, retain, or regain power?
How can we apply skepticism without becoming overly distrustful of everything? In the final interview before his death, astrophysicist Carl Sagan sat down with television journalist Charlie Rose and provided some insight on the matter. Interview with Charlie Rose, 27th of May 1996: SAGAN: “My feeling, Charlie, is that it’s not that pseudoscience and superstition and New Age so-called ‘beliefs’ and fundamentalist zealotry are something new. They’ve been with us for as long as we’ve been human. But we live in an age based on science and technology, with formidable technological powers.” ROSE: “Science and technology are propelling us forward at accelerating rates.” SAGAN: “That’s right. And if we don’t understand it, and by ‘we’ I mean ‘the general public,’ if it’s something that, ‘Oh, I’m not good at that, I don’t know
anything about it,’ then who is making all the decisions about science and technology that are going to determine what kind of future our children live in? Just some members of Congress? But there’s no more than a handful of members of Congress with any background in science at all. And the Republican Congress has just abolished its own Office of Technology Assessment — the organization that gave them bipartisan, competent advice on science and technology. They say, ‘We don’t want to know. Don’t tell us about science and technology.’” ROSE: “Surprising. What’s the danger of all this?” SAGAN: “There are two kinds of danger. One is what I just talked about. That we’ve arranged a society based on science and technology in which nobody understands anything about science and technology, and this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or
It’s crunch time here at the Capitol!

differences, of which there are many. Prior to the House and Senate passing budget proposals, Governor Walz released his budget proposal, which is closely aligned with House Democrats. One of the more notable areas of disagreement is the amount of new revenue that is being proposed by House Democrats and Governor Walz in the way of new taxes and fees. The House and governor are proposing to raise more than $12 billion in taxes and fees over the next four years. Those revenue increases include income and busi-
ness tax increases ($4 billion), transportation tax increases like the gas tax and tab fees ($3.9 billion), the health care provider tax that is paid when people go to the doctor or hospital ($2.55 billion), paid family leave taxes ($2 billion), and more than $275 million in other fees. According to a recent Star Tribune article, a Department of Revenue analysis confirms that the lowestincome Minnesotans would be hit hardest by Gov. Walz’s tax plan. The tax proposal from Senate Republicans takes a much different approach. Our plan
later, is going to blow up in our faces. I mean, who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don’t know anything about it? And the second reason that I’m worried about this is that science is more than a body of knowledge. It’s a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we’re up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along. It’s a thing that Jefferson laid great stress on. It wasn’t enough, he said, to enshrine some rights in a Constitution or a Bill of Rights. The people had to be educated, and they had to practice their skepticism and their education. Otherwise we don’t run the government — the government runs us.” Carl Sagan didn’t have a crystal ball to know how relevant his words would be today. There
have always been those who take advantage of the blind trust of the general public. Thinking scientifically, i.e. skeptically, about what we’re being told is a form of self-defense against the onslaught of false narrative and opinionating. The United States of America is a republic; a representative democracy. Individuals vote for candidates to bring their voices to the legislative and executive bodies. Checks and balances exist between the three branches of government purposefully established to protect Americans from tyranny. But even these checks and balances have their limits. Lies and half-truths have weakened the legitimacy of our great republic and eroded the trust of the electorate. The ultimate check and the final balance to this American experiment is an educated, informed, and engaged public. Cheers.

would hold harmless or reduce taxes on virtually all Minnesotans, including a reduction to the second-tier income tax bracket for middle income Minnesotans. It also continues to phase out taxes on Social Security income to help encourage seniors to stay in Minnesota when they retire. Senate Republicans began this effort in 2017. This proposal doesn’t ask working Minnesotans to pay more by raising the gas tax, tab fees, the health care provider tax, or paid family leave taxes. In terms of general fund spending, the Senate is proposing about $47.7 billion. The House and Governor Walz are just shy of $50 billion. All three proposals are increases from the current general fund biannual budget of about $45.5 billion. While the overall spending amounts are much different, many of the priorities are the same, including education, transportation, and protecting vulnerable citizens. The major differences in the budget proposals are the significant revenue increases and the overall spending increases proposed by the Governor and House Democrats compared to the proposal from Senate Republicans. If you have any questions about the budget bills we are discussing or any other legislative issue, please don’t hesitate to contact me any time. Your feedback is extremely important to me and I encourage you to share your input. You can send me an email at sen. jeremy.miller@senate.mn or call my Capitol office at (651) 296-5649. It’s a great honor to serve as your State Senator.

C OMMENTARY Journal Writing Project
One single smile By Maddie Smith “Life is short; smile while you still have teeth.” This is something we have heard, but do we really follow this wise advice? The first facial pattern humans exhibit as infants, smiling, is the universal expression of happiness. Not only does showcasing your Maddie Smith grin make you feel good, but it brings light to others’ days. Even though we don’t typically notice ourself curve the sides of our mouths, smiling plays a role throughout our entire day. Regardless of age and sex, everyone have the strength in their facial muscles to smile a bit more. One smile at a time, the world becomes a better place. When you meet someone new, what is the first thing you notice about a person? In an article by Bogdan Orthodontics, a poll finds that 47% of people notice a person’s smile before
any other feature, and people tend to recognize each other based on this smile. Not only does smiling make you appear more approachable and outgoing, but it’s even more contagious than the flu. Have you ever found yourself frowning at the sight of someone else’s grin? The act of not reciprocating a smile takes a conscious effort. A series of psychological studies have found that people naturally express the same emotion as another who is smiling. That being said, featuring your teeth front and center will benefit you and a majority of those around you. After all, we Americans buy 14 million gallons of toothpaste every year, so I would say we are MINT to show off our one-of-a-kind grins! Assuming you appreciate a good pun, your body is currently releasing endorphins. These endorphins brighten your mood, boost your immune system, and make you feel better overall. In your relationships, people tend to trust people who smile more. These same people
tend to be more successful in their career. With a lower heart rate, blood pressure, and stress level, smiley people tend to live longer lives. As infants, humans are able to smile. As children, we smile roughly 400 times a day. Whether or not this seems like much, it is exponentially more than the average adult, who only smiles 20 times a day. Breaking this number down even more, there is a significant difference between men and women. While women smile a modest amount of 62 times in a 24-hour time frame, the magic number for males is a mere 8. Ideally, however, each person should only smile once a day. I’ve heard it said that, “you are never fully dressed without a smile.” Therefore, if you wake up with a smile on your face and keep it bright all day, you are, without a doubt, fully dressed. Socially, people who smile tend to be considered unprofessional, and flamboyant men may be mislabeled or judged, but as we age, our rapidly-declining beam could be credited to more. Our daily inconveniences, constant exposure to bad news, and the attitudes of those tend to overwhelm our mood and overall happiness. The difference
between optimism and pessimism could mean the world to how we live. Teaching yourself to respond properly in negative situations is essential to happiness. Help others accomplish their goals and avoid negative remarks. If you think you’re having a “bad day,” ask yourself, “is the day actually bad, or are you letting five minutes that went wrong make the entire day bad?” Believe it or not, you can improve your mood even by faking a smile, and, over time, you may find more and more people calling you a “smiley” person. Most things that happen to us are beyond our control. Life is 90% what happens to you and 10% what you make of it. Take your 10% and let your smile
change the world; don’t let the world change your smile. Even through the hardest of times, there is always a reason to smile. Spreading happiness with your smile is one of the easiest ways to brighten someone else’s day. In your relationships, throughout your career, and at the doctor, people who smile live better lives. It’s no myth that it’s easier to smile than frown, so why wouldn’t you to strengthen your face muscles and release some stress? After all, one single smile could be the simple curve that sets the world straight... with or without teeth. Maddie Smith is a student at Fillmore Central High School. She is one of eight area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its 20th year.

Burial took place in Burr Oak Cemetery. Visitation was 4-7 p.m. Thursday, May 9 at Fjelstul Funeral Home in Decorah and on Friday one hour before the service at the church. Alice Lorraine (Albertson) Wilbur was born on April 12, 1920, the eleventh of 12 children, to Henry O. and Ella Theresa (Espeseth) Albertson at home on their farm in Lincoln Township, Winneshiek County, Iowa. She was baptized at the Lincoln Lutheran Church near Ridgeway, Iowa. Her grade school education was in Winneshiek and Howard Counties. At age 13 she went to live with her oldest brother Ole and his wife Gladys, which enabled her to attend high school. She was active in 4-H and joined Burr Oak United Methodist Church in 1938. She graduated from Burr Oak High School in 1937. Luther College became coeducational in 1936 by admitting women. She entered Luther in 1937, in the second class of admitted students that included enrolled women. Alice graduated from Luther’s two year Elementary Education course in 1939.

Bob Mierau explained
that the city received a letter with suggestions from Davy Engineering, which states in part, “The city must replace the Floodplain Ordinance in order to continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program… After the ordinance is written for Mabel, we recommend sending it to DNR for their review.” Davy Engineering also suggested a few changes in the ordinance, specific to Mabel’s situation. Mierau and Schieber will meet and work on a draft of the ordinance to bring to the council’s June meeting. After the council gives preliminary approval, a public hearing will be scheduled this summer. Karen Larson shared a draft of a “complaint form” that she designed, based on examples she had reviewed from several other cities. One side of the form shows the city’s policy, and the opposite side has a form to be filled out. Council members voiced satisfaction with the form, and it was approved for use. Any interested citizens can access the forms at the clerk’s office, and the form will eventually be available online as well.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
County continues with Enterprise Fleet Management By Karen Reisner The management program for law enforcement vehicles was evaluated after being in place for about a year at the county board’s May 7 meeting. Wong Nystrom, Enterprise Fleet Management, was asked by Sheriff John DeGeorge to put together a four/five year budget plan for the board’s consideration. The budget plan shows the amount needed per year to support law enforcement vehicles. This amount could still be affected by vehicle inflation costs. It was emphasized that this is not a typical vehicle leasing program. The vehicles are purchased on a monthly installment plan. Nystrom said it is structured as a financed to own program. Fleet Management holds title to the vehicle until it is paid off or the county decides to sell it.
Dr. Michelle Carstensen provides background information on CWD and describes ongoing efforts to limit the spread of the disease. Photo by Karen Reisner The management plan calls for a four to five year rotation of the vehicles depending on how they are used; investigator vehicles are rotated after five years. Nystrom maintained the whole cost of ownership of vehicles needs to be considered, including maintenance cost and resale value. Rotat-
ing vehicles on a four/five year plan is expected to reduce maintenance costs and increase resale values. DeGeorge said the department doesn’t have the time or resources to do what Enterprise Management can do. Nystrom added, “We give you data driven information; you (the board) control all decisions.” Commissioner Mitch Lentz argued that if this program is good enough for law enforcement, why not look into using it for all county vehicles. Chairman Duane Bakke wants to continue to be provided with an annual update. A continuation of the program was approved as recommended by law enforcement committee. Nystrom said he could provide an analysis regarding the value of using the program for other county vehicles.
Chronic Wasting Disease update Dr. Michelle Carstensen, leader of the wildlife health program, DNR, provided a background on CWD and ongoing efforts to limit spread of the disease. CWD is a slowly progressive brain disease caused by a mis-shapen protein. The prion disease is spread from animal to animal affecting deer in our area. This disease affecting whitetail deer and their larger relatives is in 26 states, three Canadian providences, Norway, Finland, and Sweden. It is 100% fatal. The disease “is having a negative effect on long-term deer densities in other states.” The prevalence is over 40% in Wisconsin. Twothirds of the counties in Wisconsin are CWD infected. Carstensen said we want to avoid that in Minnesota. The first infection found in southern Minnesota was in a captive elk farm near Pine Island in 2010. The infection is persisting in the Preston/Lanesboro area and spreading outward. Forty-six deer have tested positive in Fillmore County since 2016. Four positive deer have been found in Winona County since 2018. Prions can remain infectious for years outside of a host body, as they bind to the soil, especially clay soils. There have been 553 deer with a negative test for the disease donated in southeast Minnesota. Bluffland Whitetails Association (SE Minnesota) helped with the donation program “Share the Harvest.” Carstensen explained the next steps include evaluating the data in Minnesota and neighboring states and implementing strategies to minimize the spread of the disease. There were two comments during the Citizens Input portion related to this subject. John Zanmiller, Bluffland Whitetails, thanked the board for allowing access to county land for CWD management activity. Valuable data is collected and myths are dispelled. Several bills are before the legislature. Zanmiller hopes the courage the board showed is contagious to the legislature. Jim Vagts, Bristol Township, said wildlife is important. His estate plan passes his farmland to his family. CWD is an important wildlife issue. He noted that we are fortunate to have a proactive DNR and they need our support. He commended the board for cooperating with the DNR. He said there was an extensive harvest of deer on his property. “I am doing my part to combat the situation and I need the cooperation of my neighbors and government agencies. We don’t want to let happen what has happened in Wisconsin, with a 40% infection rate.” Other business in brief son updated the board on the Amish Subsurface Sewage Treatment System case. The court found for the government. There

is more detailed information on this case decision in the May 6 issue of the Fillmore County Journal on page 11. Corson called it a good decision for Fillmore County. The plaintiffs have 60 days to appeal the ruling. The county’s ordinance allows for an alternate system, a “gray water” system for Amish (a smaller septic tank and drain field). The Amish will also need to have a compliant outhouse. Corson said the ruling will help protect groundwater. Corson was asked about enforcement. At this point, he hopes Amish will voluntarily agree to comply with the ruling and the county ordinance. city of Preston and the county regarding the tax forfeited Preston Oil Products property was approved. The city agrees to have the tanks removed and have soil samples taken at the city’s expense within the next six months. The city has already approved the agreement. Gregg requested that all bids for the reconstruction of Grosbeak Rd. from Highway 16 to the Lanesboro Fish Hatchery be rejected due to funding issues. All bids were rejected. Gregg said the DNR expects the project to be fundable next year. Approval was given to award the replacement of a bridge on CSAH 12 to Icon Construction, the low bidder at the amount of $441,557. This is a federal project. The engineer’s estimate was $516,822.15.

Brian Hoff hasn’t earned his AMA certification at this point. Blagsvedt has both an AMA and a SAMA certification. She has signed a contract to work four to 16 hours per week at $100 per hour as an independent contractor to provide the AMA certification until Hoff gets his certification. Board members didn’t feel her services would be needed even four hours per week. Hoff noted the Department of Revenue suggested a minimum of four hours. Hoff will try to get his AMA certification by July 1.

Kingsland to expand Life Skills
Jackie Horsman thanks Denise Erichsen for her years of service to Kingsland. Photo by Rich Wicks By Rich Wicks The Kingsland School Board held a “work session” on May 6, with all members present (Board Chair Jackie Horsman, Kyle Rader, Maranda Emig, Natasha Howard, Tiffany Mundfrom, Leah Stier, Superintendent James Hecimovich, and Student Representative Zachary Queensland.) Work sessions generally include discussion, but no formal actions. Jackie Horsman brought up a request she’d recently heard when meeting with students. She stated, “The students brought it up… like, we want the type of class that’s going to teach us about life skills, and budgeting, and how to find an apartment, and how to apply for jobs, and what are my options after school, how do I apply for college, what types of trades can I go into, how do I apply for loans.” Board members voiced support for expand-

ing Kingsland’s offerings in the areas of Life Skills and the Student to Work program. There was discussion of possibly offering students the opportunity to work as a student crossing guard. There was also discussion about offering a job fair at the end of the school year, to help interested students find summer jobs. Several board members called it a “great idea.” The board considered an idea to possibly split the current activities and athletics director position. Horsman pointed out that this is considered a part-time position, but it involves a very demanding schedule, especially with evening events and weather-related re-scheduling. She pointed out, “We should always be looking at things, maybe it changes, maybe it doesn’t, but we should always be looking at opportunities where maybe we could do things better, more efficiently,

more effectively, for less money. We always need to be exploring thise opportunities.” She also said she feels the current situation is “setting someone up to fail,” and she added, “I feel strongly that we need to do something, but I don’t know what that is.” Kyle Rader voiced his agreement, and suggested splitting the position in two (an athletic director and an activities director). The board voiced agreement in speaking with the current activities and athletic director to get feedback on what works, and what should be changed. Horsman also started a discussion about a concern from some parents regarding the rescheduling and/or relocating of some sporting events. She explained that per Kingsland’s traditional practice, and in tandem with how most other areas schools handle this issue, “They don’t really make that decision until 2 p.m. Parents get that notice, and they’re at work… Parents are like, ‘My kid has no money to eat, what time are they going to be home now, how do I do all this?’” After discussion, Horsman stated, “Just before the season starts, especially when you have those seventh or eighth grade of junior varsity teams, communicating to the parents that this is our procedure, so always be prepared. I think communication would clean up a lot of this.” The board discussed using social media to more effectively communicate job openings at Kingsland. Depending on the specific positions open, Kingsland may use Blackboard Connect, Facebook, or other options. Retiring teacher Denise Erichsen was in attendance at the meeting, and the board thanked her for her many years of service. She was presented with a farewell gift from Kingsland. Tiffany Mundfrom stated a concern about some sporting uniforms and equipment that is “handed down” for junior high teams to use when high school teams get new gear. She said the uniforms tend to be too large for some junior high athletes, but her main concern was some of the protective equipment, especially for sports such as softball, baseball, and football. Superintendent Hecimovich said he would look to “phase in” the purchasing of such equipment for junior high teams. Several upcoming events were noted, including band/ choir concert on May 13 at 7 p.m., scholarship awards night on May 14 at 8 p.m., DARE graduation (sixth grade) on May 15 at 10 a.m., baccalaureate on May 15, and graduation on May 17 at 7 p.m. The next board meeting will be on Monday, May 20 at 6:30 p.m. As always, the public is welcome at all open meetings. Over the summer, while the building is being worked on, school board meeting will be held in the temporary SACC office.

Railroad history sign for trailhead By Karen Reisner Sheila Craig, Preston Historical Society, described plans for the placement of a railroad history interpretive sign at the trailhead during the May 6 council meeting. The intention is to locate the 4’x6’ sign north of the caboose. Plans call for an overhanging roof with lights. It is estimated to cost $5,500 for the sign, installation and lighting. The Preston Area Community Foundation will contribute $2,500 and another $2,500 is pledged by the Historical Society. The bid includes landscaping and concrete. Craig said they are working with Ron Schroeder. The interpretive sign is the brainchild of Jon DeVries. He has secured permission for use of pictures and maps that are to be displayed on the sign. The Milwaukee Road’s influence on Preston is detailed. The second side of the sign recalls a day in the life of the railroad. At the bottom of that side is a remembrance of those that worked on the railroad. Permission was secured from Milwaukee Road to use logos and colors on the sign. Mayor Kurt Reicks stated it will be a great addition, as people have a lot of questions about the railroad cars and why they are there. Unanimous approval was given to allow the Historical Society to install an informational sign at the Trailhead. Craig added the Historical Society has a 25-year lease for the old school house, which it uses as a booth during the county fair. Also, the society will hold its seventh annual tractor ride this fall. Discussion ensued about using the old Preston Dairy and Farm building for storage of the society’s artifacts. Councilman Robert Maust reported the board of Dairy and Farm said it is fine to use the building under their ownership until the city takes ownership. Maust said at this point there is no need for electricity or water, just in need of a dry storage facility. Reicks
maintained there is no need for the council to approve use of the building for storage until the city takes possession of the building. Other business in brief between the city of Preston and Fillmore County for the removal of tanks and soil testing on the tax forfeited Preston Oil Products property was approved. Councilman David Collett voted no. The council approved the hiring of Chosen Valley Testing at an approximate cost of $6,000 (Collett voted no). They will supervise and subcontract the work, excavation (removal of pumps, piping, and tanks) and soil sampling. The samples will be analyzed. If there is contamination, the state will eventually clean up the site, funded 100% with state funds (Petro Fund). When the site is clean, the city could attempt to purchase the property from the county. Hoffman explained this process could take two to three years. The state will look for a responsible party before cleaning the site; if no responsible party can be located the state will clean up the site. requested a temporary easement on a portion of the former Anderson land adjoining the veterans home site. The easement was approved unanimously. Ten acres of the land purchased for the veterans home was approved to be rented for use as cropland during the 2019 crop season. Ron Gehling will pay $200 per acre for use of the land. Hoffman explained this is the most economical way to maintain the property. The earliest any construction will begin is the spring of 2020. the hire of Ilene Edwards, Lisa Brainard, and Ann Thacher as seasonal workers at the visitors center. ings will be held on May 20 and June 3.

PETERSON
Continued from Page 1
Minnesota Basic Code, a comprehensive document of ordinances for cities under a certain population size, was updated for 2019. The city has created a committee for reviewing the revisions, as well as determining which specific city-created ordinances should be kept. At a minimum, these will include the ordinances for non-compliant vehicles, discontinuation of utility services, and the keeping of chickens within city limits. The
committee includes Mayor Tim Hallum, Councilor Loren Rue, City Clerk Chris Grindland, and resident Carlin Symons. Prior to the May 8 council meeting, two ordinance-related concerns were voiced by citizens. The first concern was regarding dust and air quality, specifically what’s dubbed as “fugitive dust” by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The concern noted dust and debris from the feed mill in Peterson. It was noted that dust particulates are to be minimized or mitigated during unloading, loading, clean-
Harmony Chamber celebrates Harmony Gardens & Floral new greenhouse
Harmony residents joined Harmony Gardens & Floral on Saturday, May 4 for the Grand Opening of their new greenhouse.

This event marks the beginning of the third season of operation for the business. Current hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m, Monday through Saturday.

The second concern was the amount of wood that can be stored on a property. “There’s not an ordinance or zoning restriction that I know of, but it’s something we should take a look at to be sure,” said Rue. The committee will review this issue as well. The issue of dogs and cats running at large in the city was also addressed. An ordinance prohibiting it is in effect and a letter will be sent to residents with pets in violation. Public Works Director Rick Lee was in attendance at the meeting and brought forth his own concern for ordinance-related issues, specifically the discharge of stormwater, via sump pumps, into the city sanitary sewer system. Ordinarily, the city sees 18,000 gallons of water through its system in a given day. During recent winter thaw and spring storms, the city saw several instances in excess of 70,000. “We had one day with 130 gallons in one hour. The pumps ran steady,” said city maintenance worker Pete Erickson. “We had so many days in a row that were extremely high,” noted Lee. “The engineer said it’s a bunch of different things; basements, manhole covers… when runoff overflows manhole covers. It was a really odd spring with so much ice and snow melt. A lot of it comes from the bluff here.” Rue clarified that many residents have basement sump pumps that may go into sanitary sewer rather than outside. “Is there an inspection you can make?” According to Minnesota Basic Code, surface runoff or groundwater connections are prohibited. It reads, “No person shall dis-
Peterson Mayor Tim Hallum, left, and Councilor Loren Rue listen to discussion of recent water issues at the May 8 meeting. Photo by Kirsten Zoellner charge water or cause to be discharged any unpolluted waters such as storm water, ground water, roof run off, subsurface drainage such as that from floor drains, sump pumps, cisterns, field tile or any other recognizable source or any type of private, commercial or industrial cooling water to any sanitary sewer.” It was determined that city hall would contact residents, along Church Street in particular, to inquire about the pumping and draining of basement water. In other public works news, the city will pay the upfront cost of improving electrical service to city hall and the city garage. Currently, the city has 100amp service. 200-amp service is required for the types of events and activities held in the city. The city was quoted $4,809 to install the increased service to city hall, including a new box on the upper level of the basement, add 50-amp service on the exterior of city hall, add two, 50-amp and two, 20-amp outlets outside, and two add an outlet to back of the garage.

The Friends of Peterson, who organizes city festivals and activities, fundraising for the city, has agreed to reimburse the city for the cost in five years or less, making payment as able. In new business, the city approved the purchase of flowers to adorn the bike trail. The flowers are maintained daily by resident and volunteer Nancy Atkinson. The flowers will be purchased with donated funds. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Wednesday, June 12 , at 6 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Scenes
A little of this, A little of that. By Kathy Little “Better late than never” and “Better never late” are two philosophies of time. I favor the first while my husband prefers the second. I realize that being on time is important, but sometimes things happen that make it impossible. For instance, when I was a counselor in Winona, I traveled between seven buildings. The train tracks are in the middle of town. That means anyone might be held up by a train. There have been many drivers who thought that they could beat the train and died. Now they have gates that prevent even attempting that risky behavior. Literally, better late than never would be the best choice! For people attending school or punching a time clock, the pressure is on to be on time. Tardy slips are handed out. Employees are docked pay or even fired. “Better never late” would be a better choice in these situations. Time management classes and books abound on how to be punctual and productive.
The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.
My husband’s idea of punctual is actually to be early. He used to get ready before me, and then sit in the car and honk the horn to “hurry me up.” This caused conflict in our relationship. Then there were several times we sat in parking lots for 20 to 30 minutes waiting for a restaurant to open. Sometimes we saw the end of the first showing of a movie before the second one began. This caused conflict in our marriage. Of course, “Miss Better Late than Never” also caused some conflict. He doesn’t like to walk in late to church or crawl over people in a dark movie theater. Then there were the perfectly planned times when we would have been on time except we got lost, ran into a detour or had to wait for a train to pass. Then I got the lecture about start-
Almond Rhubarb Coffee Cake
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar 2/3 cup vegetable oil 1 egg 1/4 tsp. almond extract 2 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda 1 cup milk 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh rhubarb or frozen rhubarb, thawed 3/4 cup sliced almonds (toasted) 1/3 cup white sugar 1 Tbsp. butter, melted Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two round 9-inch cake pans. Beat together brown sugar, oil, egg and almond flavoring in a big bowl with an electric mixer on medium until smooth. In another bowl, stir together flour, salt, and baking soda; add to the sugar mixture alternating with milk, beating until smooth after each addition. Stir in rhubarb and 1/2 cup of the almonds. Pour into prepared pans, spreading evenly. Stir together white sugar and butter in a small bowl. Add the remaining almonds. Sprinkle over batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Let cool in pans on wire rack. Serves 16, or 8 if you freeze one.
ing earlier just because things happen. Perception has a lot of power in the passing of time. Time flies when you’re having fun, not so much when you are having a tooth filled. My first battle with time occurred when entertaining and trying to get all the food cooked on time. Crockpots and microwave ovens help with this because I only have one oven. I wouldn’t want two ovens because I can barely keep one clean. Multi-tasking is important in cooking, as are kitchen timers. I have an old-fashioned one just like my mother had because the digital ones are so confusing. I also have an old-fashioned watch and alarm clock. Resetting digital clocks after a power outage is a pain. My brain doesn’t do digital! I guess I am an old-fashioned woman. I resent having to get any new appliance that I have to read a manual to figure out how it works. Time waits for no man (or woman). Time is money. A stitch in time saves nine. I am starting to sound like Old Richards Almanac. Thank you, Ben Franklin! Another old saying about relationships is “Pick your battles.” We have compromised on time management in our marriage. At least no one sits in the car and honks at me anymore. Here is a timely recipe which will hardly take any time to cook!

Rushford Village approves engineering study By Kirsten Zoellner The City of Rushford Village has been grappling with storm water issues in South Rushford for some time, but this spring’s rapid thaw problems spurred the city look for options at mitigation. Derek Olinger, engineer for Bolton & Menk, was on hand at the Tuesday, May 7 council meeting to discuss a study proposal. The plan is to define and work with a drainage model, after collecting topographical conditions, to better understand the current level of service. “Obviously, we all understand it’s poor,” stated Olinger. Once the study is completed, the city can work with
engineers to determine improvement plans. This could be in the form of culvert upsizing, ditch mitigation, diversion of water flowage, or any number of price range of other options. The cost of study is not to exceed $18,000. “It’s difficult to chew on, but realistically this is trying to put together some options.” “High water is getting more and more common. We owe it to the citizens of South Rushford,” noted Mayor Gordon Johnson, who has worked with the council to assure residents they are weighing concerns. “There are some alternatives that are going to cost a lot of money, we all know that, but

there might be some things that cost less that can have a real impact,” added Olinger. Preliminary work now will also aid in any future residential building in the area. While the city has made it well-known that they’re seeking out any and all possible financial assistance, Olinger noted storm water grant funding almost nonexistent unless it’s related to the treatment of storm water runoff. “There’s not a lot out there for conveyance of water, but we have people at Bolton & Menk that continue to track funding options,” he stressed. In addition, the city is partnering with Community Economic Development Associates to seek out options. The council unanimously approved the proposal. Once surveying is done, it’s likely the analysis could be ready by the end of June or early July. Olinger also spoke to the council in regards to a planned Highway 30 upgrade. Initially, the highway, from Rushford and west, had been earmarked for a larger project in 2022. With the road’s condition rapidly deteriorating, Minnesota Department of Transportation has now determined the road will be milled and overlayed. Work is scheduled to start this summer. “They made it sound like at one point there were detours planned and culvert replacement, but, now they’re just looking at just overlayment and patching areas,” stated Olinger, which drew a chuckle from one on the council who suggested that hopefully, enough people would read the minutes and call their representatives to voice their concerns. In planning and zoning news, the city has received the conditional state-approved floodplain ordinance from the Department of Natural Resources. The next step will be a public hearing on the ordinance. It will then be sent back for final approval. With-

The date for the hearing is May 21. Zoning Administrator Jon Pettit also shared with the council that a recent letter to the city was petitioning for a amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance for
Oakview Loop subdivision only. An earlier application from a resident was denying by the Planning and Zoning Board for not meeting ordinance requirements. The property owner then spoke with legal counsel who directed the resident to write to the city requesting the ordinance amendment. See THE VILLAGE Page 24 ➤

Fillmore County Sports Wild Season Continues, Bulldogs Sit in First
Play at the plate. Houston catcher Alyssa Rostad is in perfect position (though the ball isn’t), as she goes for a tag on GMLOK’s Rylie Groom. The Hurricane senior had a 3-run double though, to help Houston to a 6-5 comeback win (See Houston Steals Win With 6-run Seventh). Photo by Paul Trende By Paul Trende It has been crazy. GMLOK baseball entered the week of April 30 in the midst of a THE TRENDE wild seaREPORT son. An 8-1 start is probably their best ever, tying the program’s best win total the Paul Trende last 14 years-plus. There were three eight-inning victories and a pair of seventh inning holds (including squandering a 9-0 lead versus L/P, then winning 10-9 in walkoff fashion). Another week, more madness. On Monday, the Bulldogs took a loss at Stewartville. Drew Copley was strong on the mound through five (1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K, ND, 1-3, 2B), but left due to a pitch count. Cousin Zane Stier went all eight innings (3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K, Win). The Tigers won 1-0 with a walk-off hit in the bottom of the eighth, handing GMLOK its first ‘L’ in extras. Houston (2-8) then nearly wrecked the Bulldogs (8-2) mojo. GMLOK won the team’s first meeting 12-0, but a re-match saw the ‘Canes score six in the fifth to lead 8-5. It was 9-5 heading to the bottom of seven. The first three Bulldog hitters reached on playable balls (scoring a run). A Dylan Lunning hit then plated two, making it 9-8 (no outs, man on second). An out and a strikeout seemingly had Houston expiring. But the strikeout reached on a passed ball. With runners on first and third (one out), Dustin Copley hammered a
walk-off 2-run double to center (second GW-RBI of the year). The Bulldogs survived 10-9! Nick Ramaker (3-4, 2 RBI, R), Lunning (2-4, 2B, RBI, R), and Dustin C. (1-4, 2B, 2 RBI) did damage on ‘O’. Christian Millette collected the win. Jaytin Millen (2-4, 2B, 2 RBI) and James Hongerholt (2-2, RBI, 2 R) led Houston (2-7, 2-9). Next for GMLOK was a rematch with L/P. The Athletics led 3-2 and had the Bulldogs down to their last out. But Reid Kruegel and Nolan Skifter singled back-to-back. Already with a solo home run, Bulldog top hitter Drew Copley blasted a 3-run go-ahead home run off the Marccusen Park scoreboard! Millette threw four pitches in
the bottom of seven to get the win. GMLOK grabbed its 10th victory, 5-3! Drew C. (2-4, 2 HR (3), 4 RBI, 2 R, 6 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, ND) led the way. Kruegel (2-4, 2 R), Jacob Welch (2-3), and Skifter (1-3, RBI, R) helped. Dakotah Rostad’s Bulldogs then smacked AC/G-E 17-1 in five innings. Kruegel (4-5, 2 RBI, 2 R) hit his first career home run. Freshmen Dustin C. (4-4, 2B, 3 RBI, 3 R, 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 K, Win) and Nick Eickhoff (2-3, 2B, 4 RBI) drove in 7 runs. The team had 20 hits and drove in all 17 runs. Getting some help from Schaeffer and Randolph (6-1, 9-1), which handed Spring Grove (6-3, 7-3) three losses, GMLOK (8-0,
11-2) leads the SEC over the Rockets.
Houston Steals Win With 6-run Seventh
Hot Shots FC/L softball had a 4-1 week with four one-run wins. The Falcons beat R-P twice 4-3, Southland 10-9, and D-E 4-3. Hope Sexton had a ninth inning walk-off RBI suicide squeeze in game two versus the Trojans. Eighth-ranked Chatfield softball (6-1, 7-2), after scoring one run in nine innings versus L-A, responded by scoring 29 in nine innings versus FC/L (12-0) and C/SG (17-0). Lexi Chase pitched a five-inning perfect game versus the Falcons, striking out 14 of 15. McKenna Daniels added a home run, Carlie Berge 5 RBI. Versus C/ SG, Alanna Goetzinger, Belle Berg, and Peyton Berg all had 4 RBI. Wyatt Pruter medaled thrice as Kingsland boys golf won three meets to improve to an SEC best 5-0, 7-0. FC’s Madison Scheevel shot a oneunder-par 35 to post the lowest girl’s score of the week/ year. Nolan Mueller went seven innings (improved to 4-0), as R-P baseball beat W-K 4-3. Alyssa Rostad hit a grand slam home run and had 5 RBI, but Houston softball fell to Onalaska-Luther 10-6. GMLOKS boys and girls track each won their small-school home invite. All four girls relay teams took first. LFCMC’s Emma Breitsprecher had three first’s (100/300 hurdles, H-Jump) and a second (P-Vault) at the St. Charles Invite.
It appeared over. Already up 1-0, GMLOK softball scored four in the bottom of the sixth to lead Houston 5-0. Bulldog Pitcher Lily Hughes had tossed a no-hitter through five, a onehitter through six. What were the chances the ‘Canes would amass seven hits and six runs in an inning (the seventh)? Four of Houston’s first five hitters reached. Just one run scored (5-1). The ‘Canes were down to their last out with runners on first and second. Gretchen Hill then singled to load the bases. Alyssa Rostad followed with the game’s biggest hit, a three-run (off the glove) double to deep left center. Houston trailed 5-4. A-Rostad moved to third on a wild pitch. Becca Rostad walked. Then the game’s next huge (gutsy) play; lefty 8th grader Olivia Beckman laid down a pop-up-deadened bunt. It would’ve been a close play at first (probably safe), but the throw went into right field. Both Rostads scored (Becca all the way from first). Melanie Schultz’s crew went ahead 6-5! GMLOK went quietly in their seventh. Houston stole the win. A-Rostad (2-4, 2B, 3 RBI, R) broke up the no-hitter in the sixth, in addition to her seventh inning hit. Jeana Hahn (2-4) also had two hits, both in the seventh. Richelle Botcher (7 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, 1 BB, 1 K) picked up the win. Rylie Groom (2-3, two 2B, 2 RBI, R) and Zoe (4/29 - 5/3) Scrabeck (2-3, R) had two hits M-C 1, Spring Grove 11 [6] for the Bulldogs.

Ostrander reaches agreement on feedlot By Rich Wicks May 5, the Ostrander city council held a regular meeting, with all members in attendance (Stephanie Start, Dan Hellerud, DJ Start, Vernon Thompson, Mayor Pam Kunert, and City Clerk Wendy Brincks) as well as city attorney Jennifer Gumbel. The council heard from Gumbel regarding the Farm Animal Ordinance and related concerns. She stated that the Zoning Committee met and made a recommendation. She said, “The Zoning Committee and the landowner were able to work out an ordinance that is going to work for the landowner while regulating his feedlot…to promote the health and safety of citizens.” The council voted to approve the Settlement Agreement as presented, as well as the proposed Animal Ordinance and Feedlot Ordinance. Brincks brought up the damaged sign in front of the community center. She said the wood has deteriorated, and the sign had actually fallen over, but has been propped back up. She said it’s likely to fall over again at some point, and could be a safety concern. The city will check into costs to replace the sign. Brincks also brought up that Fowler’s has closed, so the city needs to determine where to purchase gasoline for vehicles. After discussion of several options, the council voted to set up an account with Casey’s for all city vehicle
gasoline needs. Wendy Brincks reported that the Wastewater Treatment Plant is “running smooth.” Fire Chief Dustin Johnson said he is still seeking more firefighters, and he suggested anyone interested contact him, or they can obtain an application from the city clerk. The Sheriff’s Department submitted a written summary of activity for the month of April. There was discussion about the city’s police equipment, which is no longer used. The council agreed to donate both guns to the Sheriff’s Department, as well as the bulletproof vest, if it is found to be non-expired. The council discussed an issue regarding the property of Nathan Cole, regarding Nuisance parking and storage. The city has sent a letter to Mr. Cole, who was in attendance at the meeting. A question was brought up about the city’s ordinances regarding this; Brincks said the ordinances have been unchanged for at least 10 years. DJ Start said he is concerned that there are other property owners who also are in violation of the ordinance. Brincks said this is something the Sheriff’s Department looks into annually. Brincks said that regarding the leftover pieces of well casing, the city needs to find a way to get rid of them. She said Waste Management has offered to take them and
give the city credit based on the total amount of iron. Stephanie Start suggested possibly using four of the pieces to install “protective posts” around the new generator and life station, to prevent damage to the equipment. The council approved these plans. The council discussed the possibility of purchasing a speaker system for use during council meetings, so that all in attendance could better hear what is being said. Brincks shared that she had done some looking around, and found a highly-rated system with two microphones, at a total cost of roughly $300. The council voted to approve this purchase. Ostrander was informed of receiving a $200,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Housing and Urban Development. There will be upcoming meetings regarding how to use these funds. The council also discussed bringing in rock, and grading the alley behind the bars, since it has been noted to be in bad shape. The council voted to approve this. Brincks reported regarding the recent citywide cleanup event, saying, “It actually went extremely well.” A reminder was given about the upcoming primary election for commissioner, on May 14. The next regular meeting of the city council will be June 4 at 6:30 p.m. The public is welcome.
The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.
THE VILLAGE
Continued from Page 21
Rushford Village Attorney Tom Manion questioned whether or not the lot was unusual, in relation to others within the subdivision, creating a need to address practical difficulties. Pettit noted the lot is unique based upon only where the home was constructed on the lot. Due to water flow, Pettit indicated a small area on which the property owner could construct a garage, due to water flow, but that in doing so it would create the need for another driveway and crossing of underground private utility. The Planning and Zoning Board will take the matter under further review. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, May
21, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

It’s a super-sized Stand Still Parade Plan for a full day of fun at this year’s super-sized Stand Still Parade on Saturday, May 18 in Whalan, Minn. Activities will take place from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. The cornerstone of the day is the Stand Still Parade. Grab your walking shoes and walk around the parade as it stands still from 11 a.m. until noon. There will be cars, trucks and tractors, the Lanesboro High School Band, the Whalan Museum and much more! Don’t miss past Stand Still Parade grand marshals who will be in place behind the American Legion Color Guard. A little trivia: Who was the first grand marshal of the Stand Still Parade? Again this year, there is plenty of entertainment for all ages. From 10-11 a.m., enjoy Sister
Luv, four sisters who have been singing together for most of their lives, at the main stage and Wellespring at the gazebo. Following the parade, from noon until 3 p.m., the Vintage Tones (full name—The Vintage Tones of Spielzeiten Und Pausen) will take the main stage performing ‘50s-’60s-’70s favorites. You may be able to discover some new local talent at the Whalan’s Got Talent talent show starting at 3:30 p.m. From 5-7 p.m. the Dixieland Pickup Band will be playing American Dixieland jazz from, you guessed it, the back of a pickup. Then, take off your walking shoes and put on your dancing shoes because the Rutabaga Brothers will be getting everyone on their feet at the
Soil compaction – An annual springtime issue By Michael Cruse Extension Educator Fillmore and Houston Counties Soil compaction is an annual spring time concern for farmers, gardeners and anyone else working on wet soils. But what is compaction and why is it such a concern? Michael Cruse First, think about what a healthy soil looks
like. If you could dig up a column of healthy soil without disturbing it, you would find a balance between solids and pore space. The pore space would be partially full of water and also contain room for gases. The solid material would be a mix between minerals and organic matter. This combination of solids, liquids, and gases allows plant roots to grow, access minerals, and exchange gases with the atmosphere. Now, think about taking that same column of soil and com-

street dance. As always, food is a highlight of the Stand Still Parade. Start your morning off with an Egg McWhalan and a cup of coffee. You might want to head over to the gazebo for Norwegian delicacies, lefse and rommegrot. After the parade, grab a hot dog, hot turkey sandwich or a brat. Don’t worry, we didn’t forget those who have a sweet tooth. Wonderful homemade desserts and ice cream treats will be available along the trail while supplies last. Coming later in the afternoon? Try a BBQ pulled pork or chicken sandwich and chips. You shouldn’t have to go away hungry from this year’s Stand Still Parade. Take time to stop and visit the vendors along the trail. You can peruse everything from original paintings to lures and even visit
with an author. The fun continues from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with train rides for the kids. From 10:30 a.m. until noon check out Balloons by Kevin, a leading Midwest balloon artist. The Kids’ Pedal Tractor Pull will keep everyone entertained starting at 1 p.m. The always popular Pie Eating Contest will take place at 5:30 p.m. near the Aroma Pie Shop. Check out the face painting, Duck Pluck, Petting Zoo, and the Bungee Trampoline. Feeling lucky? Buy one or more $1.00 tickets for the 50/50 Raffle. Fun and entertainment for everyone! Brand new this year is the street (trail) dance which will take place from 7-9:30 p.m. by the main stage. Dance to the music of the famous Rutabaga Brothers, an R&B combo who will, according to their website,
“put taps in your toes and smiles on your faces.” Since you probably won’t be dancing the whole time, be sure to bring a lawn chair so you can kick back and enjoy the music. Beer sales will be available from 6-9 p.m. — be prepared to show your ID. Let’s end the day with a bang! Literally. Get ready to ooh and ahh because the super-sized Stand Still Parade will conclude with fireworks at approximately 10 p.m. at the Cedar Valley Resort. You will need that lawn chair that you brought to the dance to relax and enjoy the fireworks. It will truly be a super-sized day in Whalan on May 18! We hope to see you there. (By the way, Adeline Larson was the first Stand Still Parade Grand Marshal in 1996.)
pressing it into a smaller space or volume. You would have the same amount of solids but less pore space. Furthermore, the solids that are there may have been crushed and are now smaller and packed tighter. We have effectively created a space where it is harder for roots to grow, to access water and nutrients, and to exchange gases with the atmosphere. All three of these are essential for healthy plant growth. So how does compaction happen? Soil compaction can happen in any number of different ways – from driving heavy equipment on a field, having a hard driving rain on unprotected soils, or by humans and animals
just walking. And it can happen at different locations within the soil – at the soil surface, below a plow layer, or on the side walls of planting furrows. And what makes soils more vulnerable to being compacted? In general, in our area the wetter a soil becomes the more likely it is to become compacted if a pressure is applied to it. This is obviously a great concern in the spring when you combine snow melt and regular rainfall with the need to get crops planted. While getting crops planted in a timely manner is important for maximizing potential yield, creating compaction issues while planting that crop can offset all of the advantages of planting early.
Remember this basic rule of thumb for deciding if your field or garden is too wet to work in. Pick up some soil from the field or garden. Now press that soil between your hands and release. If the soil stays in a ball, then it is too wet. If it crumbles apart you are good to go. And remember, not all compaction is bad. We need good seed-to-soil contact for our crops to germinate well. We accomplish this in part by pressing the soil around seed that has been placed in a furrow. That is what press wheels are for on planters. The trick is to not press too hard and to wait for the correct environmental conditions so our compaction does good and not harm.
PFA awards over $28 million in water infrastructure projects Funding will support five projects in Greater Minnesota The Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA) approved $28.35 million in loan and grant funding for water infrastructure projects in Minnesota. Funding was approved for Crystal Bay Township, Fertile, Glenco, Glenwood and Rice County. “I’m working hard to rebuild infrastructure in every corner of our state,” said Governor Walz. “I’m excited that $28 million dollars will be going directly to these greater Minnesota communities to help improve their water quality. Everyone in Minnesota deserves clean
drinking water – regardless of their zip code.” “These PFA dollars are a valuable resource to communities all across Minnesota,” said PFA Chair and Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development Steve Grove. “Investing in infrastructure shows that these communities are eager to serve current and future business and workforce needs.” Crystal Bay Township, $60,000 This project consists of assessing potential wastewater treatment options
