August 7, 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). The main topic discussed was citizens’ concerns about tap water that is rusty and/or foul-smelling. Brian Malm, of Bolton & Menk Inc., shared basic information about how and why cities sometimes have such issues with the water, as well as options that may help solve the problem. He stated, “As the council had requested, we did some testing on the water, related to the iron complaints that you’ve been getting.” He explained that several residences, plus the city’s “raw” water (from the well) and “finished” water (from the treatment plant) were tested. He
shared information from a letter he’d sent to the city, which stated, in part, “Iron is not a regulated contaminant and does not pose a public health risk… While it is possible to construct centralized filtration systems to remove iron, most cities do not… simply due to the cost, which would be several million dollars and would not be eligible for any type of state/ federal funding due to the fact that iron does not pose a health risk.” Malm then summarized the testing results, showing that the raw water ranged from .23 to .32 mg/l (and this is within the historical normal levels for Ostrander’s raw water). The finished water tested at .32 mg/l. The residences ranged between .28 mg/l to 1.91 mg/l. The letter stated, “These results tell us that the high iron levels in the homes with the complaints are likely coming from iron See OSTRANDER Page 14 ➤
County jail future discussed BY K AREN R EISNER karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com
The annual Jail Inspection Report was reviewed at the county board’s August 6 meeting. The report is issued by the Minnesota Department of Corrections. The Fillmore County Jail, which is the second oldest in the state, was limited to a 90-day facility in February 2017. Sheriff John DeGeorge and Jail Administrator James Fenske felt there was nothing in the report that was unexpected.
Fenske called it a very good report overall. The jail was 100% in compliance with mandatory requirements and 90% in compliance with essential requirements. Old sinks and toilets have been replaced with stainless steel fixtures. Deterioration of the building was cited in the report. The structure lacks adequate program space (educational, vocational, and See COUNTY JAIL Page 2 ➤

recreational). Correction will require expansion or remodeling of the facility. There is no indoor recreation area. Fenske admitted there is a lot that is not functional and they plan to address issues as they come up. They will continue to improve to meet current standards. The building’s layout does not allow them to separate inmates based on classification, which limits the number of inmates it can house. Commissioner Mitch Lentz asked what our plan is for the jail in the future. DeGeorge said we do a pretty good job maintaining the facility we have. But, this building is not a long term option because of the way it is built. Commissioner Randy Dahl said the jail’s future has been discussed for 18 years. We need a new facility, but it has to be appropriate for the county. DeGeorge commented that we have the advantage of looking back over the years and population numbers in the jail which are cyclical. He noted we can learn from mistakes other counties our size have made. If you build a big jail, you have to staff it. Dahl added that the current bond the county is making payments on will be paid off in a few years.

Approval was given for the renewal of the MN Annual County Boat and Water Safety Grant agreement. The agreement runs from January 2019 through June 2020. The grant amount is $2,097.

C OMMENTARY Election integrity in America By Jeff Erding Wykoff, MN Here in America we are fortunate to have a system that encourages free and fair elections; or that is what we aspire to. We go to great lengths to protect the integrity of our elections, and rightfully so. The people who serve in government should reflect the wishes of We The People. America worries constantly a b o u t interference f r o m f o r e i g n Jeff Erding entities, as recently evidenced by the three year Mueller investigation that vindicated Mr. Trump and unwittingly revealed rampant corruption within Federal government agencies and the Clinton campaign. The investigation of that corruption is well under way and we must hope the guilty parties are punished. But are there equally serious threats from within to our Democratic Republic that must be exposed and dealt with? You bet. Andrew Cilek of the Minnesota Voters Alliance recently wrote about election fraud in Minnesota in the winter issue of Thinking Minnesota. Readers are urged to read the whole article, here is a brief summary. auditors have refused to provide information requested by Duane Quam of the Minnesota House Operations and Elections Committee Editorial Cartoon

On a national scale, Congressional hearings have revealed an insidious threat to fair elections by ultra-leftist on a scale that should shock and dismay us no matter our political affiliation. On July 19, 2019, Dr. Robert Epstein, at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology in California, testified in Congress about the ability of search engines and social media to exert unfair and biased influence on America’s elections. A staunch Democrat and Hillary Clinton supporter, Dr. Epstein has studied this issue closely for six years and has been relentless in his quest to call attention to this existential threat to our election process. particularly aggressive in voter influence, using answer bots, source suggestions, and other unfair methods biased toward Democratic candidates and issues that are exclusive tools: un-trackable and impossible to rebut. research by his team has pegged the number of votes influenced Twitter in the 2018 nationwide

Many other types of beverages will be offered including wine, ciders, sangria, spiked refreshers, and non-alcoholic drinks such as Lift Bridge sodas, mochas, lattes, coffee, espresso, and more.

or brunch options like scones, bear claws, and cinnamon rolls. Lunch and dinner choices include a smoked polish sausage or hot dog and sandwich options are Swedish meatball, chicken salad or pulled pork served on either white or rye bun. Each choice comes with chips, coleslaw and a pickle. Trout City Brewing also has merchandise available for purchase — beer glasses, hats, shirts and stickers, which are sure to be popular.

Business hours will be Thursday - Saturday from 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. and Sunday from noon - 5 p.m. A grand opening will be held at a later date once their own beer is ready to have on tap. “We are excited and happy to start a new business in a town that we really love so much,” states Anita, and they are very thankful for the support of family, friends and other businesses.

which was most recently used as an antique shop, was originally built as a bank and one of the many things that is distinctive to Trout City Brewing is the fact that of the two restrooms in the business, one of them is located in the former bank’s old 1880s safe. Beautiful transom stained glass windows emit a warm and inviting light that shines down on customers while they admire the grand old fireplace, high ceilings and original woodwork. Although the main part of the bar and the bar back at Trout City Brewing looks as though it has been in place for years, it was actually relocated from the Aroma Pie Shoppe in Whalan, Minn., after being used for decades by various businesses in that building. The renovation included making spaces for a brewing area and a kitchen as well. With the changes and improvements that have been made, Trout City Brewing has the
look and feel of a historic bar that, if a person did not know better, seems as though it has been a favorite of patrons for many years. Aside from seating in the main area there is additional seating in the breezeway and in the soon-to-be completed patio area. Each of the three seating areas provide a different vibe — each being relaxed and comfortable. “We want people to come in and feel at home,” explains Anita. Trout City Brewing currently has nine taps for beer and because they have a full liquor license, they can not only sell their own craft beer, but can also buy kegs of beer and serve other manufacturers’ beer, including Michelob Golden Light, Lift Bridge Mango Blonde, Mankato Mad Butcher and many other types of beer. Soon, approximately by Labor Day weekend, Trout City Brewing will have four of their own beers ready to serve. These include: 1) Easy Rider Blonde Ale — light in body, light in color,
Fillmore County has been home to our family for generations. Our family farm, Trailside Holsteins, has been a business in the Fountain community since 1977. The farm sits along the Root River State Bike trail, which presents a unique experience for both bikers and ourselves. Many days there are three generations working together to care for the land and the animals on our farm. Watching our children learn the values of hard work, animal husbandry and land stewardship is a truly rewarding experience. We contribute to many of the businesses in our area, including Foremost Farms (with a location in Preston), a milk cooperative in which we are members. Through a partnership with Foremost and Kwik Trip, every day one semi load of milk produced on our farm is delivered to Kwik Trip in La Crosse, WI. In about 48 hours after the milk leaves our farm you can find it in stores. We love living and working in Fillmore County and we hope others do, too. Dairy farms create 24,950 jobs in Minnesota and we are proud to be one of those farms. On a local level, every dollar we spend on our farm is multiplied 1.7 times on average in our community.

OBITUARIES Glen Feine On Sunday, August 4, 2019, Glen Feine, 63, retired to farming in heaven where he was immediately welcomed by his parents Vernon and Ethel (Sievers) Feine. He’s catching up with the farmers who have gone before Glen Feine him and relishing in the news that John Deere is the tractor of choice for plowing the heavenly fields. The weather is perfect, the soil is rich, and there is always enough time in the day to get everything done. While he is enjoying ideal crop growing conditions and machinery that doesn’t break down, his legacy will live on in the family he created with Marcie (Myers) who was by his side until his last breath. His children – Chrissy (Jerry Benedict), Bethany (Joe Notch), Amber (Jordan Rasmussen) and Mike – will reminisce about haying small squares and being woke up to the yell of “cows are out.” The grandkids – Kasity Bene-

dict (19), Evelyn Notch (9), Autumn Rasmussen (9), Nora Rasmussen (7), Elliot Notch (7), Jax Benedict (7), Gwen Rasmussen (4), and Silas Rasmussen (5 months) – will miss the quick grandpa hugs during chores. He will look down with a smile as they build another fort in the windbreak, climb the bales and dig in the fresh sand pile. Marcie, Amber, Jordan, his brother Jim and granddaughter Kasity will carry on farming the century-old family farm that has withstood many shifts and changes. Glen is also survived by his younger brother Randy of Winona, Minn. Glen was baptized May 13, 1956, confirmed May 10, 1970, and married to Marcie on July 2, 1977, at St. John’s Lutheran of Hart, Minn. Glen’s faith, family and farming were always his top priorities. Glen completed his degree in Farm Operation and Management from the Winona Area Technical Institute in June 1976. He eventually took over the century-old family farm from his dad (Vernon Feine). All will miss getting the rundown of what everyone is doing on the farm. And the neighborhood will be under a little less watch without Glen looking up

Legends Concrete, Inc. provided a bid to do the work at a total cost of $8,925. This is within the amount budgeted for concrete work. The repairs and replacements were approved as proposed.

August 5 was Schultz’s last day in office. After the city council meeting Schultz radioed in his official final sign off, bringing a long career in law enforcement to an end. Schultz made a farewell statement to the city council and staff and thanked everyone. Numerous family members and friends attended the swearing-in ceremony. Sass thanked

Lanesboro council welcomes new police chief By Hannah Wingert Retiring Police Chief Matt Schultz and incoming Police Chief Blaise Sass made a stop at the Lanesboro City Council meeting on August 5 before heading over to Preston for Sass’s swearing in. “On behalf of the city, thank you for your years of service, Matt,” Mayor Jason Resseman said. Schultz served as Preston’s police chief for 19 years. “I’m grateful for the years of good leadership, and a very good mentor over the last 17 years,” Sass expressed. A hearing was opened to discuss the sidewalk improvements assessments, but as there were no residents present for it, it was closed and the regular city council meeting was opened. Council member Autumn Johnson gave the Park Board update. New tables and chairs were recently purchased for the community center as money had been budgeted for the purchase. Johnson informed the council that there are some major issues with the plumbing in the bathhouse that need to be addressed and the wiring at the campground may need updating. The summer reading program at the Lanesboro Public Library has wrapped up for the year. The library will be applying for a $3,000 grant to install a motorized door in the library to make it accessible for all patrons.
Retiring Police Chief Matt Schultz introduces new Police Chief Blaise Sass to the Lanesboro City Council Photo by Hannah Wingert Any money that the Lanesboro Fire Department Relief Association makes from its lawful gambling is put into a City of Lanesboro account. The fund was originally set up to be used for the fire department, but that has changed over the years. “Our goal moving forward is that we’re both (the city and the fire department) very much aware of what the money is being spent on,” City Administrator Michele Peterson said. A resolution to that effect was approved by the council. Currently, the Fire Relief benefit pays $1,200 a year to each retired fireman. They asked the council to increase the
amount to $1,450, which will not require any extra funding from the city. The raise was approved. Areas of sidewalk on Calhoun Avenue, Hillcrest Street, and Parkway Avenue are in need of improvements because of safety concerns. The city will pay 50% of the costs and homeowners will be assessed 50%. The assessments were approved. Council member Chase Bakke brought up a traffic concern on Parkway Avenue. When pulling onto Parkway from either direction on Coffee Street, it is nearly impossible to see oncoming traffic. He asked if

it would be possible to make the intersection more open by removing several corner parking spots, adding that while he is aware of the limited parking in town, safety is more important. The matter was tabled to allow the members of the council to visit the location and consider options. The city received a notification from the State of Minnesota that updates were needed for the city’s sales tax ordinance. A sample ordinance was provided by the state and reviewed by City Attorney Thomas Manion. The council will review the ordinance and vote on it at the September meeting. Street Department worker David Haugen noted that several roads in town have developed significant cracks which need to be routered and sealed before winter hits. There is an immediate concern with Rochelle Avenue which is down to the bituminous layer. A bid from Asphalt Armor Sealcoating and Paving in the amount of $23,674.30 was approved for the project, which is less than the $30,000 originally budgeted for it. The parking issue on Auburn Avenue was discussed again with the consensus of the council being that one-sided parking wasn’t going to solve the problem. It was recommended that a yield sign be placed on Sheridan Street for motorists pulling onto Auburn, and that the curb be

painted yellow on the corner from Auburn and Sheridan to prevent people from parking there. The recommendations were approved. The Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to the city encouraging the hiring of a CEDA person. The matter had been discussed by the council before, but tabled for more consideration. “Sometimes we have to spend a little money to make money,” Mayor Resseman said. He has spoken with neighboring communities who utilize CEDA and found the consensus to be that the benefits are exponential. The annual salary for a CEDA representative to work with the city one day every other week would be $12,700. A motion was made and passed to hire someone from the CEDA. Peterson presented a new pay scale for city employees to the council which needs to be implemented by August 16 to keep Lanesboro compliant with state regulations. She noted that the 2020 budget numbers will reflect the updated pay scale. The Art Center requested permission to park a tiny house structure in front of the theater from October 8-11. Permission will need to be granted from MnDOT as well as it will be parked on a state highway. The council approved the request. A resignation from Historical See LANESBORO Page 10 ➤

the power to designate duties for that position. County Attorney Brett Corson said he is the one that makes legal recommendations to the board, insisting there should be further discussions. He disagreed with Goering, saying you have to have a process and follow the law. He wanted to discuss the statute and those duties designated by statute to the auditor/treasurer and those duties that can be assigned to a finance director. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman noted that the job description developed for finance director is the same as in two area counties. They have been operating with a finance director for years. She said there always is a back and forth between the finance department and the auditor/treasurer; it is called checks and balances. There should always be more than one person checking work.

Council member Bridget Harvey felt that it would be best to have people go through the regular process of getting on the agenda when

We have not had checks and balances and transparency for the constituents’ dollars. Two items on the agenda (classification of finance director position and salary set for finance director) were postponed to the next meeting until Corson has the opportunity to discuss his differences of opinion with attorney Goering and resolve those issues.

Her pay will be adjusted retroactively when these issues are resolved and her salary is set. Other business in brief updated Floodplain Ordinance and FEMA maps was held.

The change in the ordinance will limit expansion of some of they have a problem. Not all of the council members can make it to the meeting early enough for the community input sessions, and there’s a misconception that decisions can be made by the council during the sessions. Johnson pointed out that the sessions create the appearance of a possible violation of open meeting laws. A motion was made and approved to drop the community input sessions. Council member Johnson is being deployed for nine months, which gives the council the option of leaving her seat vacant during that time or appointing someone to fill it temporarily. “Because she’s serving her country as well as the City of Lanesboro, we should give her the opportunity to fill her seat upon her return,” Mayor Resseman said. The rest of the council agreed that it would be best to hold her seat. “I just wanted to say personally as the mayor, thank you for your service to our county foremost,” Mayor Resseman expressed. The next Lanesboro city council meeting will be held on September 3 at 6 p.m.

The origin and spread of Chronic Wasting Disease Brunch on the Bluff features U of M researcher Dr. Peter Larsen Dr. Peter Larsen, Assistant Professor, Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Minnesota, will be the featured speaker at Eagle Bluff Environm e n t a l Learning C e n t e r ’s Brunch on Dr. Peter the Bluff Larsen event on Sunday, September 8. Dr. Larsen’s talk: Chronic Wasting Disease of Deer: Historical perspectives, Current Research, and Future Directions will detail the latest science surrounding the origin and spread of CWD. He will highlight the unique ecology of the disease in Minnesota and outline ongoing CWD research initiatives at the University of Minnesota. Chronic Wasting Disease is a highly contagious neurological disease of deer. CWD was first recognized in Colorado in the 1960s and, since then, has steadily spread throughout white-tailed deer, mule deer, and elk populations in the United States and beyond. Decades of robust scientific research have documented that the cause of CWD is an abnormally shaped prion protein that spreads through an infected animal, ultimately colonizing the brain and causing cell death. Remarkably, the prion underlying CWD is shed through deer feces and carcasses and it can persist in the environment for years. CWD represents an immediate threat to the heritage surrounding deer and successfully confronting the disease will require cutting-edge technologies and close coordination from all stakeholders. “Chronic Wasting Disease is
a significant problem for deer populations in the Preston/ Lanesboro area of southeast Minnesota, affecting the recreational hunter and domestic deer farmer alike. With deer hunting starting in September, we believe CWD is a timely topic for our recreational hunting audience. We are grateful to have Dr. Larsen available to speak about this matter,” Eagle Bluff Executive Director John Torgrimson said. Dr. Larsen’s speech will be accompanied by a breakfast brunch. Doors open at 11 a.m. Guests may choose to bring an adult beverage of their choice. Tickets for this event are $35. For more information or to register, visit the “Upcoming Events” page at www.eaglebluff.org or call (507)467-2437. Attendees at the event can also sign up for complimentary postbrunch naturalist-guided hikes along Eagle Bluff’s trails. Brunch on the Bluff is sponsored in part by the Southeast Regional Sustainable Development Partnership through the University of Minnesota and the Lanesboro Community Foun-
dation. Eagle Bluff’s “On the Bluff” speaker series, now in its 15th year, is designed to give thought-leaders and experts in the environmental field the opportunity to discuss issues with the broader Eagle Bluff community. Located in the scenic bluff country of southeast Minnesota, Eagle Bluff is a nonprofit, yearround residential environmental learning center providing education programs and outdoor adventures to more than 16,000 children and adults each year.

that the water in her home is so orange that after she showers, she looks as if she has a “bad spray tan.” The council voted to approve having flushing done biweekly by Peopleservice (Rick Whitney). Brian Malm addressed the council regarding the proposed flood plain ordinance. He explained that the city would need to adopt such an ordinance in order to qualify for low-priced flood insurance. He added that due to regulations and resulting costs, it’s unlikely that anyone would build within the area designated as within the 100-year floodplain, but that he recommends the city adopt a flood plain ordinance. The council chose to schedule a public hearing on the issue, to be held at 6:30 p.m. on September 3, immediately prior to next council meeting.
Malm discussed the “construction walk-through” related to the recent infrastructure project. He shared a list of issues and concerns to be addressed, and council members added a few concerns they would like to have checked or fixed before the project is considered complete. Malm will address these with the contractor. The council reviewed the only bid that had been submitted for the city’s police cruiser. The bid was for $10,750, and the council voted to accept it. The council discussed the issue of some trees at the park, which are infested with insects. The council discussed the costs of treating and/ or removing the trees, and chose to wait until spring to address the issue, if still needed. The next regular meeting of the city council will be September 3 at 6:30 p.m., beginning with a public hearing on the flood plain ordinance proposal.
The Fountain City Council discussed an improved bus stop at the August 7 meeting. Pictured, left to right, are Councilors Ron Riesner, Dave Gudmundson, and Chad Wangen; Clerk Rhonda Flattum, Councilor Terry Hanson, and Mayor Jim Schott. Photo by Kirsten Zoellner By Kirsten Zoellner At the Wednesday, August 7 meeting, the Fountain City Council approved rescinding a decision made at the July meeting to utilize a PointWatch system as of August 1. The system, a remote monitoring system, is provided by MMS Environmental isn’t yet installed and running at the wastewater treatment plant. Instead, the council made a new motion to move forward with PointWatch. The council also approved entering into a three-year agreement with MMS Environmental. “They told me it was going good,” said Mayor Jim Schott in reference to the new company being at the reins of the city’s plant. After the plant was deemed non-compliant in 2016, the city struggled to regain compliance, finally finding success with PeopleService. However, ongoing frustrations regarding chemicals and costs at the plant eventually led the council to consider a new wastewater management agreement. A motion was made to proceed with the contract. Schott noted that until the PointWatch system is in place, MMS Environmental will rely on three weekly visits. “I just want to make sure everyone is on the same page on that,” cautioned Schott. Once the system is a go, on-site monitoring drop to just twice a week. The city can alter the contract to increase the number of weekly on-site visits should it be necessary. The MMS proposal included option one, in-person monitoring three times a week at a cost of $5,100 per month, an annual $61,200, while option two opts for usage of PointWatch remote monitoring, twice a month, at a cost of $4,850 per month, an annual total of $58,200. The City of Fountain would be responsible for the cost of all chemicals, pumps, repair and service to pumps, pumping/cleaning of lift stations, and
repairs to the plant. “I hope it keeps everything going like it’s supposed to be and no one gets fines,” stressed Councilor Ron Reisner. “I hope, or we’re back to square one,” added Councilor Dave Gudmundson. In other news, after discussions with City Attorney Frederick Suhler, the city is making plans to address its municipal parking lot to accommodate bus pick ups for those commuting to Rocherster via Rochester City Lines. This was the result of a citizen complaint to the city regarding vehicles weighing more than five tons using the street. “Under the provisions of the existing ordinance, any operation of a vehicle which weighs in excess of five tons is unlawful,” wrote Suhler in an email to the city. Two options for handling the situation were discussed. In the first, the council would authorize removal of the signs. Suhler maintained that enforcement of the limitation requires that the signs be present in order to enforce the ordinance. It was noted that using this option, a vehicle of any size could lawfully travel on the street. It was noted at the meeting that the sign was put in place due to traffic to the elevator, which is no longer in existence. It was further advised that this street is not a designated truck route. Clerk Rhonda Flattum suggested the city may want to review its truck routes. “Take all truck routes out,” said Schott, who was echoed by Councilor Chad Wagnen who
1st 3
suggested making the whole town a truck route. Councilor Ron Reisner also noted trucks don’t abide by signage and drive down streets anyway. The second option is to add language to the ordinance exempting certain kinds of buses from the weight limitation. Suhler noted this approach is used in the provisions of State law (s169.87) creating a number of exceptions for different types of vehicle from weight restriction. After discussion, it was determined the city would contact Suhler to amend the current ordinance. The council will review the item in September. Flattum noted that change in the ordinance would require a stepped process of notification, a public hearing, and finally approval of the updated ordinance. The municipal lot will see some improvements as the city looks to address bus pick ups further. The council approved the addition of a 10-inch culvert in the ditch on the northeast corner of the lot and a concrete walking bridge over it for passengers to board the bus. Appropriate signage for the stop will also be put in place. It’s unclear at this point whether or not a bus shelter will be added. A 2020 budget meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, August 28 at 7 p.m. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Wednesday, September 4, at 7:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

From a Homesteader’s Journal By Julie Little
The Gate When we first came, there was no line Between our neighboring lands Nothing to show this is yours, this is mine Depending on where you stand. The land we tamed, with seed and sod With trees and shrubs and flowers. But heavy hooves came plunder and plod Demolishing what was ours. A fence, agreed, would fit the need And bisecting acre and hill This wire weave, a permanent deed Set boundaries for good or ill. We drew the line, but placed a gate A welcome and a plea, Metal red said, “Don’t hesitate Open it, visit me!” For sad would be their history If fences proved divides Between us here, keeping you, keeping me Apart on our separate sides.

Rushford Village talks water woes and road repairs
The Rushford Village Council discusses project options with Derek Olinger, far left, of Bolton & Menk. Also pictured, clockwise from left, are Treasurer Judy Graham, Mayor Gordon Johnson, and Councilors Mike Ebner and Chad Rasmussen. Photo by Kirsten Zoellner By Kirsten Zoellner By now, it’s no secret that Rushford Village is looking at making some serious changes to South Rushford to mitigate water problems that have plagued the area this year. The council has been discussing the issues and possible solutions since 2016. The area is considered rural street type, without gutters and storm drains, and has a system of culverts and ditches in place to move water. However, excessive and increasing rainwater runoff has built up behind culverts and ditches, leading to overtopping of roads and lingering swampy spots. One instance this spring saw emergency efforts by the city and volunteers pumping water from the area. Engineer Derek Olinger, of Bolton & Menk, has indicated a main source of the troubles to be undersized and ill-positioned culverts, in addition to ditches that are too shallow to hold and move the water. Speaking to the council at the Tuesday, August 6 meeting, Olinger brought forth
a drainage analysis and suggested improvements that could address the bulk of the issues. On Sherwood Street, Onlinger noted the primary concern is the lack of positive drainage through ditches on the west side of the street. He suggested work begin on the north side of Highway 43 with the highway crossing. According to the analysis, “The proposed culvert and surrounding ditches need to be lowered by approximately two to two-and-a-half feet. This grading will require extensive grading to the north and into the adjacent agricultural field and residential property.” Bolton & Menk is coordinating with the state on this portion of the project. MnDOT is anticipating doing work on Highway 43 in 2023 and were already planning culvert improvement. They were notified about the study and can utilize Bolton & Menk data and incorporate it into plans. There’s been no official determination from the state yet. Work to the north and south of the highway
is the responsibility of the city. “It looks like they can help out in the scheme of things, but realistically, it’s a small chunk of the project,” said Olinger. There is a possibility for phasing, but realistically, portions of the project can only be done once other parts are completed. “Everything after the crossing depends on the ditch being lower,” he added. South of the highway, recommendations include deepening the ditch on the west side of Sherwood Street, upsizing driveway culverts, and lowering culverts to meet the new ditch grades. If driveway culverts are replaced, it will require replacement of road surface over driveway aprons. “Ditch grading along Sherwood Street will require extensive grading into the front lawns of properties along the west side of the road,” continued the analysis. Olinger noted the deepening and widening of these ditches went beyond the currently held right-of-way easement and the city would need to communicate the issues with property owners, seeking approval or temporary additional easements for the work. “We’re into people’s yards,” cautioned Olinger. “It’s just ditch grading and widening so we’ve got more depth. We’re trying to maintain 4:1 slopes, but it might be 20-feet into their property.” This grading would extend from Highway 43 to approximately 400 feet past the Sherwood and Goodrich Street intersection. Beyond this, two swales would be constructed to move runoff from the area. An agricultural field west of Sherwood Street appears to drain through a residential property and the swales would intercept runoff, sending it to the new ditches. Flooding in the area between Sherwood and Whitmore Streets, in the block immedi-
ately to the north of Prospect Street, is an ongoing problem as the area has no outlet and drains through ground infiltration only. Olinger recommended a new culvert crossing and shallow swale. The total estimated cost for all of the Sherwood related improvements is $353,000. On Goodrich Street, Olinger advised the city not to grade ditches deeper and wider, as modeling indicates the amount required wasn’t feasible. Instead, he suggested the city fill a portion of the south side ditches and install storm sewer through this area with concrete curb, gutter, and at least one catch basin. Near the intersection of Goodrich and Whitmore Streets, it was suggested the city lower the existing ditches and cul-
Page 21
verts to restore positive drainage to the new storm sewer. Curb and gutter had been considered, but modeling indicated far less improvement than anticipated. This is expected to be $125,000 of the total project cost mentioned previously. “We’re fighting grade here. It’s basically flat,” said Olinger. In the area of Meadow Avenue and Highway 16, existing culverts and grading make it difficult for water to drain. Olinger suggested a new culvert under the highway by way of jacking and augering so as not to disrupt the roadway. The culvert needs to be lowered over a foot in order for water to drain well. As previously discussed, a check valve could be inserted into the culvert to prevent water from river flooding to backflow through the culvert into the See RUSHFORD VILLAGE Page 22 ➤

area. In the northwest section of Meadow Avenue and Goodrich Street, installation of curb and gutter can aid in reducing the frequency of flooding and sediment washing onto properties. Meadow Avenue projects are estimated to cost $170,000. In the analysis, other options were also discussed. It was noted that the most effective method to address water issues is the con-

struction of urban section roads with a traditional storm system throughout the South Rushford area. This has been largely avoided due to associated costs. Mayor Gordon Johnson questioned whether or not there was any advantage for the city to own a high capacity pump. Olinger indicated he could run further modeling scenarios with a six-inch portable pump, but cautioned that during significant rain events, it still may not be able to keep up with the inflow of water, even pumping
10,000 gallons per minute. In a related topic, the city is considering 170 feet of curb to redirect water at the intersection of Goodrich Street and Meadow Avenue. This would be broken out separately from the rest of the projects. The estimated cost is $16,000. Rain continues to hamper other areas of the city as well, with gravel roads taking a big hit recently. State assistance may be available, but a declaration needs to be made by the state prior to any funding reimbursement.
The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. Photos and documentation of the areas were detailed and submitted to Fillmore County and will be forwarded to the state. In cleanup efforts, Arendahl Township has offered assistance to the Village in a job sharing exchange. While the council spoke favorably about opportunities working with the township, it was suggested that mutual aid agreements were put in place and that all hours and equipment logs were noted for work done cooperatively.

Amdahl Avenue dedicated in Lanesboro By Barb Jeffers A very touching dedication ceremony took place in Lanesboro, Minn., on Saturday, August 3, 2019, as the City of Lanesboro dedicated the road leading to the softball field as Amdahl Avenue, in posthumous recognition of Orval and Marie Amdahl, who were cornerstones of the community for many years. The softball field was recently spruced up by a group of residents and the school ball games once again are played
on this field, which hasn’t happened in years. Orval graduated from Lanesboro High School and then attended St. Olaf College. He was a teacher at Lanesboro High School prior to entering the Marine Corps and fighting for his country in WWII. Marie graduated from Lanesboro High School and Winona Teachers College. She taught school for four years while dating Orval.

Church in Lanesboro for 24 years and Sunday School Superintendent for Christ Lutheran Church in Preston for 10 years. Marie was honored for 70 years of membership in the American Legion, and was a volunteer with the Red Cross and March of Dimes. She was an active member of the Sons of Norway and was also a 4-H leader and Girl Scout leader, and involved in other activities. Orval was an active member in the Lanesboro American Legion, Preston V.F.W., Forty & 8, Boy Scouts, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Christ Lutheran Church, Sons of Norway and March of Dimes. Orval played first base on the Lanesboro baseball team for 10 years and was involved in ball field improvements years later. He and Marie both enjoyed attending sporting events in the area, including many days and evenings spent at the Lanesboro Ball Field. Orval and Marie had four children: Ronald (Diane) Amdahl, James (Kim) Amdahl, Karyl (Steve) Tammel and Ann O’Loughlin (deceased). The couple cherished time spent with their very large and loving family, including many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Orval passed away in February 2015 and Marie followed

in November 2017, leaving an absence in the hearts of their family and community. Many of Orval and Marie’s family members were able to attend the dedication and it was a very special occasion for each of them. “It’s a great honor for my parents,” stated their son Ron, who added, “They have been super supporters of Lanesboro and all of Fillmore County and they would be very honored.” “They would be proud,” commented Britt Amdahl, grandson of the couple. Among many others present for the naming of the avenue were Mayor Jason Resseman, Council member Autumn John-
and it still is to this day, and I think we have that attitude of service that he instilled in us all those years he was a member. “His sense of service was incredible — he served all his life — in the military, at the county level and at the local level. His service to the community was unbelievable — he did a lot for this community.” The Park Board started the initiative to dedicate the avenue and made a recommendation to the council, with the council approving their recommendation. “Orval and Marie are missed, however, now we will have a constant reminder of them as part of the history of Lanesboro,” states Peterson.
son and City Administrator Michele Peterson. Jim Haugen with the Lanesboro Park Board and the Lanesboro American Legion spoke eloquently about the couple, saying no one is more deserving to have the avenue named after them. He also shared a few memories and thoughts about his longtime friend Orval, who he got to know through the American Legion. Haugen notes, “He was very active in the Legion club, was instrumental in developing and setting up the county Legion board and he served on the board for years... He helped establish one of the most successful Legion clubs in the area
“I’ve never known anybody who had a street named after them so it’s pretty amazing to have your parents be the first one,” commented Ron Amdahl. “I think it’s very appropriate to recognize this particular avenue as Amdahl Avenue,” stated Haugen, and it was also fitting that there was a softball game taking place while the dedication occurred. It just so happens that Orval and Marie’s longtime home sits high on top of Lanesboro’s north bluff and overlooks the ball field, and now, Amdahl Avenue. “They’re here,” stated several family members. No doubt that Orval and Marie felt the love, and enjoyed the game.
