Two Lanesboro bridges slated for replacement in 2016 By H annah Wingert hannah@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Kjersti Anderson and Mike Dougherty presented the preliminary plans for the Highway 250 bridge replacement project to the Lanesboro City Council at their regular meeting on July 6, 2015. The Minn. Department of Transportation will be replacing two narrow through-truss bridges that cross the Root River on Highway 250. Because the bridges are in city limits, the DNR is required to go through the municipal process for project approval. The City of Lanesboro is expected to receive the final plans in a

also like to raise awareness and start a dialogue about the dam in Lanesboro, which the group says is “a historic landmark that is hugely important to the community & region” and needs extensive repairs. Brogan states “it’s a big deal” and the problem needs to be addressed. The Ellingson’s are no strangers to holding large events at their Gud-I-Nuff Campsites. From 2010 - 2012 the couple hosted a musical festival called “Scottifest” over Labor Day weekend, which similarly raised money for a child with medical problems. Their passion for Caleb and for the Lanesboro Dam inspired them to hold a large event once again with more organization and promotion to raise as much money as they can for Caleb and his family. The Hootenanny officially begins when the gates open at 1 p.m. on Friday and live music will begin at 6 p.m. The musical entertainment playing on the stage over the two-day Hootenanny will include The Fattenin Frogs, Ian Hilmer and Drivestation, The Weathered Heads, Push and Turn, Ventura Highway, Crooked Willow, Muus, Beet Root Stew, Michael Seiler, and a well-known local musician, Drew Sorom.

Monday, July 13, 2015

The Facebook page of the event states that “a ‘Hootenanny’ is an old country word for a party” and explains “Nowadays the word most commonly refers to a folk music party with an open mic, at which different performers are welcome to get up and play in front of an audience” but any way you describe it the event sounds like a great time with friends and family. Brogan says the entertainment at the Hootenanny could best be described as Americana/Roots music but “there will be something for everyone”, including “blues to reggae to rock to bluegrass”, he states. The musical acts will perform Friday 6 p.m. - 1 a.m. and Saturday 12 p.m. 1 a.m. Art/goods vendors will be on hand with interesting and unique items for attendees to check out, some of which include homemade soaps, jewelry, handmade bags, and purses. A staple of any festival is food and The Dam Gud-I-Nuff Hootenanny will have that base covered with Anthony’s Wood-fired pizza truck serving on Saturday from 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. And no summer get together would be complete without meat on the grill, so Mike and Sally Skjeie will keep the grill fired up both days and will be cooking everyone’s favorites. The couple will also be smoking pork and serving pulled pork

Work is scheduled to begin in May 2016 and be completed by October 2016. The total cost for the project is estimated to be $5.7 million. Council member Jason Resseman asked if there were any placards or plaques on the current bridges that could be saved and donated to the historical society. Anderson didn’t think that there were, but plans to verify that before the original bridges are taken down. City Attorney Thomas Manion reported that the second quarter of the fiscal year is on par with no changes to the budget. Local business owner, Jim Watson has requested permission to operate a transient ice cream cart on the sidewalks of Lanesboro. There is currently no clear ordinance regarding commercial sales on public rights-of-way. This has been a recurring problem for the city council throughout the years. Mayor Robin Krom noted that the council needs to be careful in constructing and passing an ordinance so as not to discourage commerce in Lanesboro. Attorney Thomas Manion has researched how other local cities handle their ordinances regarding commercial activities in public rights-of-way, but was unable to find many examples. After much discussion, a motion was made to table the issue until the August meeting. During the next month, City Clerk David Todd and Manion will work together to refine the current ordinance to clarify it. A request from Mrs. B’s Inn for an alcohol permit allowing them to serve 3.2 beer was approved. The city has received several complaints about properties with weeds and junk. City Clerk Todd sent letters with a copy of the ordinance regarding property clean-up along with pictures of

the problem areas to the property owners. The owners then have 10 days from the receipt of the letter to clean up their properties. Lanesboro resident Jim Watson addressed the council on the issue of people bicycling on the sidewalks. The city has an ordinance prohibiting bicycles on sidewalks, but Watson acknowledged that ordinances can be hard to enforce. He pointed out that most people are respectful of the other pedestrians using the sidewalks, but he has witnessed quite a few riding fast on the sidewalks, which can be dangerous. Council member Autumn Johnson reminded the council that there are painted signs on the sidewalks with a bicycle emblem with a line through it to let people know that they are not allowed to ride on the sidewalks. However, the signs are faded and need to be repainted. She also suggested adding more signs to the sidewalks so they appear more frequently. The council approved a motion to repaint the existing signs, add more signage, and request that the DNR repaint their signs indicating where the bike trail runs. The Buffalo Bill Days Committee asked if any council members would be interested in volunteering during Buffalo Bill Days this year. Several members volunteered. Johnson asked if the city has any regulations regarding air space above the city. She has received several complaints from residents about a privately owned helicopter flying very low over the city. Council member Tom Smith said that the owner of the helicopter was spoken to about the same issue last year. Residents are urged to call the sheriff’s department if the helicopter is seen flying low again. The case will then be turned over to the FAA. The meeting was adjourned and the next meeting will be held on August 3, 2015 at 5:30 p.m.

C ommentary School board member Thomas Trehus to run for House in District 28B By Thomas Trehus Education, transportation, and property tax relief top issues for Trehus. . . Thomas Trehus, Spring Grove school board member and fifth generation Houston County resident will run for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 28B. A longtime resident of rural Spring Grove, he will challenge the incumbent 12-term (non-consecutive) Rep. Greg Davids. Thomas Trehus said he is disappointed by the

special session in St. Paul and is running for State Representative because he believes Fillmore and Houston Counties deserve a more moderate voice in the legislature. “Here in Southeastern Minn., we work together as a community to get things done,” said Trehus. “I want to use my consensus building skills to help resolve the partisan gridlock in Saint Paul.” Thomas Trehus said he was disheartened to see the 2015 session end without compromise

on issues crucial to residents in District 28B. The legislature faces a special session because members refused to compromise with Governor Dayton on an education funding bill. Trehus was frustrated with the legislature’s inability to pass a sustainable transportation bill, tax bill, and a general lack of investment in Greater Minn. initiatives like broadband. In each of these areas, Rep. Greg Davids voted with his party leaders. “There was tremendous oppor-

A bad idea, retention elections for supremes By Karen Reisner Two back to back controversial rulings of the United States Supreme Court in late June sent some conservatives into a tizzy. The court by a 6-3 decision upheld subsidies for the A f f or d a bl e Care Act and Karen Reisner the next day in a 5-4 decision same-sex marriage was legalized. These decisions dismayed some people and were celebrated by others. Many cases the Supreme Court takes up are decided with a split decision. With these important cases the conservative side came up short, followed by outrage and an over reaction by some in my opinion. The most worrisome of these overreactions is the proposal for a constitutional amendment to have judicial retention elections for justices. This proposal was made by Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and GOP 2016 presidential candidate. In his

words this proposed amendment would read: a justice “deemed unfit for retention by both a majority of the American people as a whole and by majorities of the electorates in at least half of the 50 states will be removed from office.” The forefathers in Article III of the U.S. Constitution vested the judicial power of the United States in one supreme Court and inferior Courts. “The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior.” With the Judiciary Act of 1789 adopted in the first session of the First United States Congress the U. S. federal judiciary was established. The justices are tasked with interpreting the Constitution; they are the “final interpreter of federal constitutional law”. Politics enters into the judiciary system up front during the appointment process by the executive branch and the confirmation process by the Senate. The Supreme Court justices are then separated from the other branches of government providing checks and balances and the separation

of powers. Their appointments once confirmed are for life unless one chooses to resign, retire, or is impeached. Retention elections for justices would infuse even more political operators and more big money into our system of government, increasing the power of special interests. Retention elections of justices would impact their ability to make decisions based on their interpretation of law. Decisions will be distorted or twisted with political concerns. Justices need to remain independent from the influence of politics. Justices should not be burdened with a threat of loosing their jobs if their decision is unpopular. The justices have the freedom to look at the long term best interests of the country unencumbered with political pressures, unlike the executive and legislative branches. The fact that they have lifetime appointments ensures respect and maintains the integrity of the office, protecting them from retaliation for a particular decision which offends either side of our polarized political spectrum.

tunity this session to invest in our schools, our roads and bridges, and to provide tax relief to farmers and small business owners,” said Trehus. “In Saint Paul, I will work with my Republican and Democratic colleagues to do what’s right for Houston and Fillmore Counties.” As a Spring Grove Public School Board member, Thomas Trehus had hoped to see a greater investment in education from this legislature. From talking with parents and community members, Trehus understands how strong schools can impact the future of our region. Underfunding our schools undermines the future workforce of Minn. and places more burden on local property taxpayers. Before joining the school board, Trehus served the state of Minn. as a staff member in the Office of United States Senator Al Franken. He is currently a project administrator and compliance officer at Minnowa Construction, Inc. in Harmony.

The curious case of the Loony Left Kim Wentworth says: @SV80, Paul, LOLZ and the rest of the loony tunes around here- please read the article on your global warming trash talk. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/07/08/nobel-prize-winning-scientist-says-obama-is-dead-wrong-on-global-warming/

Editorial Cartoon

LOLZ says: There has not been this many unqualified clowns and criminal grifters from one party running for president since 1860. For some ironic and historical perspective, this was also the year that Lincoln ran. This is the scenario when a White affirmative action, coke head, frat boy tanks the economy and blunders into two illegal wars on the credit card. Up steps the black Harvard educated lawyer who cleans up the white man’s mess and rights the ship of state while being sabotaged and disrespected at every turn by a racist Congress. Now all of a sudden the poison of racist arrogance makes this collection of clowns and foreign born lunatic grifters believe that they are somehow qualified to be president of the United States of America. So who do they send? Jeb Bush to finish destroying America completely this time? And for those of you with short term memory issues- George was never elected. He was installed by a criminal, right wing SCOTUS. They really seem to think we are stupid. But then maybe they are right!

Preston approves street maintenance plan By Karen Reisner Jim Bakken, Public Works, outlined the 2015 plan for crack filling and seal coating numerous streets within the city at the July 6 meeting. Councilman David Harrison was absent. Two quotes had been submitted for the project. Bakken recommended the low quote from Pearson Brothers, Inc. in the amount of $44,932.08. He explained maintenance work to rout out cracks and fill them with joint compound to increase the life of streets is done about eight years after a street is constructed. The streets to be maintained were reconstructed in 2005 and 2007. After the cracks are filled, a tacky substance will be applied before aggregate is spread and packed.

The last maintenance work of this kind was done in 2011. City Administrator Joe Hoffman reminded the council that $45,000 was in the 2015 budget for street maintenance. The Pearson Brothers quote was approved. Other business in brief Hoffman informed the council that four windows on the west side of city hall leak pretty bad. The paint on the exterior of the building is also peeling in spots. The council by consensus agreed to let city staff retain a contractor to investigate the source of the leaks and to research options for maintenance of the exterior, determining the estimated cost of each. Ambulance director Ryan Throckmorton recommended that associated repairs be made to increase the ambulance garage door height from 10 feet to 12 feet. He had obtained estimates in 2014, but the work was held off due to the expense of replacing one of the trucks. The low bid received in 2014 was from Spring Valley Overhead Door in the amount of $2,337, which includes additional panel, new hardware, tracks, and opener. A new electrical outlet will have to be added and two feet of sheetrock above the existing door will need to be removed. Throckmorton estimated all the work could be done for about $3,000. Approval was given to

go ahead with the garage door project. The third payment to A-1 Excavating, Inc. in the amount of $53,942.90 was approved. The last lift of asphalt has been made on Bluff Country Court in the North Industrial Park. Some seeding and shoulder work is left to be completed. Work on the wear course of asphalt for the Twenty-14 project has been completed. Approval was given for the seventh payment in the amount of $149,261.53 to A-1 Excavating, Inc. for the north portion and $138,560.26 to Blitz Construction for the south portion. There still is some landscaping work left to be done. Neither payment is the final payment. Approval was given to continue purchasing the city’s property, liability, and workers compensation insurance through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. The council opted not to waive the statutory tort limits as recommended by city staff. An updated Memorandum of Understanding with the Southeastern Minnesota Emergency Medical Services was approved. Dues have increased from $450 per year to $700 per year. Main Street will by closed for Family Fun Night on July 9 and August 13 from 4-8 p.m. The next council meeting will be on July 20 at 8 a.m.

Mabel street and sewer project on track for completion By Hannah Wingert Curtis Marx from Davy Engineering updated the Mabel city council at their regular meeting on July 8, 2015. Marx reported that the project is on schedule and is expected to be finished by the substantial completion date of July 16. There will be some clean-up to do after that date. The rest of the paving will be done in August 2015 and finished in May 2016, after the materials have had a chance to set over the winter. Marx requested that semi trucks and trailers be kept from driving on Railway Road this fall as the road is very silty and is unable to be paved this year. City maintenance director Bob Miereau assured Marx that he’ll keep an eye on the road. Main Street failed a roll test earlier in the day because the material is saturated from the rain and still soft. Marx plans to repeat the test after a few hot dry days which should harden the road. The Main Street lighting project is going well. The bases have been poured and the conduits installed. The poles are expected to arrive on August 7 and will be set in place at that time. A partial payment to Jech Excavating was approved pending approval by Rural Development. Visu-Sewer submitted a certificate of substantial completion which was approved by the council. A zoning permit request from Dustin and Kayla Tollefsrud was received and approved. The City of Mabel has received another AED device. Three other devices are currently located at the school, the clinic, and the community center. The public library and the fire hall were both suggested as possible locations for the new device. After considering the hours of service, accessibility, and patronage, the council voted to place the AED device in the fire hall. City clerk Karen Larson advised the council that the water rates will probably be raised 2x2, 2x4have & to2x8 ads soon. She will have more information and numbers at next month’s meeting. Larson gave kudos to the residents of Mabel for conserving electricity during the 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. power-down initiative. Because of the city’s conservancy, the electric rates will not be increased at this time. Miereau had a conversation with Tri-County Electric concerning the alley on Melby Way. The alley is overgrown with trees that need to be cleaned up to free the electric lines. Tri-County gave

Miereau a quote for the project. Larson stated that since funds are available, this would be a good time to get the alley fixed. Council member Laura St. Mary asked if another quote could be obtained to be sure the city is getting a fair price. Miereau said that he had looked into several other companies, but Tri-County was the only one with all of the equipment needed. A motion was passed approving Tri County Electric to complete the project. Miereau reported that during the street and sewer project, quite a few home sewer systems were found to be connected and going through other homeowners’ properties. He noted that the residents were excellent to work with despite being inconvenienced. He is thankful for a community that works together so well. Mayor Jim Westby wished to thank the Lions Club for their generous donation of American flags to put up around the city. The city’s attorney, Richard Nethercut is in the process of drafting a letter that will be sent to residents who need to clean up or fix their properties. Westby asked that residents who have an issue to discuss should either call city clerk Karen Larson or himself rather than the city attorney as those calls cost the city money. Miereau asked about the possible purchase of a snowplow blade that had been tabled at a council meeting earlier in the year. The blade will cost approximately $12,000 and will be installed on the city’s larger truck. Having the wider blade will save time and money as the streets will be able to be plowed with fewer trips. The purchase was approved by the council. The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be held on August 12, 2015 at 7 p.m.

Carol and Lyndon lived in Fillmore before moving to Spring Valley, Minn. in 1949. Another move in 1975 brought them to Longmont, Colo. Carol married Robery Davis of Longmont in 1977. Their marriage was later dissolved. In 1963 Carol began working outside her home at the Spring Valley Tribune. After moving to Colo. she worked at the Longmont United hospital in the business office. Later she worked with her daughter Sonja at the Lloyd Stickelmeyer State Farm Agency in Longmont. Attending church, singing in the choir, as well as serving her church in other ways in all three communities in which Carol lived, was a very important part of her life. She loved the Lord and knew Christ as her personal savior. Tending to her vegetable garden, golfing, camping, hiking, roller skating, bowling, sewing, nurturing flowers and plants, inside as well as outside her home, was something she enjoyed in her spare time. Carol’s family looked forward each Christmas to the gift of jams and jellies she made from her home grown raspberries, grapes, and rhubarb. Traveling, learning about different people

An Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County and places interested her a great deal. A trip to the Holy Land was a great joy and wonderful experience for Carol.

hound (unknown type)/mix Female • Dog • Adult

Tinza is spayed, housetrained, and up to date with shots. Tinza is one of the dogs rescued from Pine Ridge reservation. She is estimated to be about 2 years old. Tinza loves people! She is a little unsure of children. We aren’t sure she was ever exposed to them so she would need some time to get to know them. Tinza is great with other dogs with proper introduction, though she is protective of her food. She also didn’t seem to know what cats are, so she would need a proper introduction to a cat and would probably do fine. All adoptable pets have been spayed/ neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Nancy Marie Niesen Nancy Marie Niesen 75, Houston, Minn., passed on to greener pastures on July 7, 2015, as a result of a year-long cancer illness. Nancy was born on June 21, 1940, to Phillip and Ruth Nancy Marie Niesen (Rank) Dickson. In 1952, she was adopted by her mother’s second husband, Earl Niesen. Nancy spent many years living on the Money Creek, Minn. farm with her grandparents, Marie (Wells) Rank Corey and Joseph Corey. It was there that she developed her love for country life and all animals, especially horses and cats. Nancy could recite the names of every horse and cat she ever owned. As a child, Nancy attended the Money Creek School and was baptized and confirmed at the Money Creek United Methodist Church. After moving to La Crosse, Wisc., she attended Central High School and graduated in 1957. Following graduation, Nancy worked as a dental assistant until her marriage in 1958 to her high school sweetheart, David Barrett. They moved to the Aurora, Ill. area and had one son, Bret Allen Barrett. During their years together, Nancy influenced David to take up her passion—quarter horses. Indeed, Nancy regaled us with many stories of horse racing at the quarter mile tracks. David and Nancy parted in 1970. In 1971 Nancy

Page 7

married James Bonds and purchased a farm on Vinegar Hill, outside of Money Creek. There, Nancy and Jim started farming, milking cows, and raising quarter horses. Jim died of cancer in 1974 and Nancy continued farming until 1976. In 1977, she married Lowell Ladsten. She and Lowell lived in Spring Grove and then Mabel, Minn. Nancy helped out on Ladsten’s Auto Sales car lot and worked at Rush Products (TRW) in Rushford, Minn., until TRW closed. Nancy and Lowell divorced and Nancy returned to live in Money Creek and Houston for her remaining days. While living in Houston, Nancy re-connected with an old friend, Roger Anderson. They spent many happy hours together watching movies, visiting with friends, and enjoying late suppers. Roger took care of Nancy during her final illness until her passing. Nancy loved her family, her home, knitting, cooking, and her two rescued cats, Tuffy and Trouble. She always had lots of flowers. She was a homebody, and would rather be at home than anywhere--reading, knitting, cooking, or working in the yard. Nancy is survived by her mother, Ruth Marie (Rank) Niesen, of Houston, Minn.; son, Bret (Dana Merworth) Barrett, of Artesia, N.M.; two grandchildren: Jessica Barrett, of Levelland, Tex., and Josh Barrett of Artesia, N.M.; and three great-grandchildren: Frankie and Dean Barrett and Coraline Fowler. She is further survived by a brother, Phillip (Kathryn Theisen) Niesen of Houston, Minn.; and nieces: Laura and Cynthia Niesen and their chilSee OBITUARIES Page 14 

Ostrander discusses parking for events By Rich Wicks All members of the Ostrander City Council met in regular session on July 7. Following the approval of prior meeting minutes and payment of expenses, the council discussed parking for events such as Uff Da Days and ball games. Members reported that in past years, there have been problems when vehicles park too close to the houses near the ball park, and there have been instances of people walking through the home owners’ yards. Mayor Nesler said he’d taken pictures to help determine the best solution, and he suggested that at the end of the street, the city should “open that up, move the posts back, and add a graveled area for parking” so that vehicles wouldn’t block the home owners’ driveways. After further discussion, Mayor Nesler summarized, “We need the parking there, we’ll use it a lot” and he urged council members to consid-

er options and come up with ideas to discuss at the next meeting. Public Works Director Jimmie Dean addressed the council, saying that the sewer plant is working well, and he said McCarthy will come and pull the well on Tuesday (July 14). He said McCarthy is “pretty confident it will take just a day” so there should be no real problems with water being available. Fire Chief Brian Milner updated the council on five new pagers which have been ordered for the fire department, and asked the council’s thoughts about planning for purchase of another pumper truck, as a back-up for the current pumper, and to help when two are needed. He said he’d seen a pumper for sale for about $10,000 and said, “It’s a 1992 model, pretty much like what we have now…Just something to think about”. Police Chief Tom Mosher gave

his monthly activity report, and highlighted the Potentially Dangerous Dog process, which he pointed out is a state law, not a city ordinance. He said it gives clear guidance for how to respond if dogs in the city are chasing people or behaving aggressively and not confined appropriately. Mosher also said his car’s radar was recently tested and recertified, which is required annually. The council discussed getting a smartphone for the Clerk, so the city would have voicemail, but decided to take no action at this time. It was pointed out that for city emergencies, law enforcement can always be contacted. The council reviewed the mid-year budgetary numbers, which Mayor Nesler summarized stating, “We’re doing good so far”. Council members asked about a few budget items, which were explained by the Mayor and Clerk. Most income and expenses are around 50% of the annual budgeted amounts. In New Business, it was discussed that the Ehlenfeldt property may need to have some digging done, which could require digging in the alley to get to the foundation. Mayor Nesler said, “He’s not going to do it until next year, so it’s just good to know it ahead of time.” Habitat for Humanity bike race will be in Ostrander of July 13, and will use the main park.

County to hire child protection worker with state funds By Karen Reisner The hire of an additional Child Protection Worker was approved at the Fillmore County Board’s July 7 meeting. The legislature in 2015 appropriated over $23 million annually to the Department of Human Services to be allocated to county agencies for child protection staffing and services. Early in the spring of 2015 the Governor’s Task Force on the Protection of Children released their final recommendations. Ninety-two recommendations were made, many of which will take

a long time to materialize and require legislative action. Community services director Beth Wilms said there currently is not enough staff for child protection, adding that counties have asked for funding for child protection. Fillmore County is to receive $80,000 to help meet state and federal performance measures. Eighty percent of the funding will be received now ($64,000) and twenty percent will come when performance measures are met ($16,000). Wilms explained that monthly face to face contact

with the child is required. Secondly, children are to be receiving services within their own home. The state’s new funding is to go toward new positions and new services. We will be looking for gaps in our services. Wilms admitted that at this point there are a lot of unknowns about the specific meaning of some of the language. Commissioner Duane Bakke noted that this was also an Association of Minnesota Counties initiative. Wilms added that a legislative task force will review efforts of counties and release a report in February 2016. Wilms questioned the sustainability of managing 92 recommendations or goals. Statewide an additional 334 social workers could be hired. She expressed her concern that there may not be any state funding for this new position after 2017. The hire of one new Child Protection Social Worker to be paid for with state funds was approved. In other community services department business, the hire of two intermittent home health aides was approved. Fillmore County is one of the few counties which still provides home health services. The two intermittent aides will receive no benefits. They will be on call to fill in when needed. Their pay will come from various funding streams including Medicare, VA, and Medicaid. Commissioner Randy Dahl

ment. Kolling pointed out that Fillmore County has the most community foundations. Nelson said SMIF has two new programs including a $3 million equity fund that can provide seed funding to support start-up businesses. The second new program is Preserving Our Heritage Program or the farm land retention program. In the farm land retention program SMIF retains gifted farmland as an asset, rents it out so it continues to be farmed. Use of the money from the land rent may at least in part be designated by the donor. SMIF requests an appropriation from the county of 10 cents per capita or $2,000. Reclamation and repairs of CSAH 8 north of Spring Valley will be done by Rochester Sand and Gravel. Their bid came under the engineer’s estimate, which was $1,108,413. The county will receive a grant from the Local Road Improvement Program in the amount of $750,000. The rest of the money will come out of state aid funds. Dahl thanked Gregg for his efforts in applying for the state grant. Gregg expects the work to begin later in the summer. At the June 23 meeting a bid from Alcon Construction in the amount of $224,023 was accepted to replace a box culvert in Preble Township. The company had contacted Gregg about the insufficiency of their dewatering plan since the latest water event

explained the two intermittent hires will help to maintain the current workload. Changes to the Burial Policy were approved as recommended. The county provides for an indigent burial “when a person dies without the means to provide for his/her burial, and the next of kin have no ability to pay for the burial.” The county will pay an additional $100 for a direct cremation or up to $1,600. The county will pay an additional $100 for an immediate burial or up to $1,900. Wilms noted there are very specific state guidelines. The county is mandated to provide for the final disposition of indigent persons. No funding is provided by the state. County coordinator Bobbie Vickerman noted that $6,000 had been budgeted for burials in 2015. As of this date, burial expenses are running over budget at $6,359. Other business in brief Jennifer Nelson, Vice President of Development, Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, and Sue Kolling, SMIF board of trustees member reviewed the organization’s investments in 20 southern Minnesota counties and specifically in Fillmore County. Fillmore County has supported SMIF since 1991. Since 2013 SMIF invested more than $220,000 into Fillmore County.

before their bid was accepted. The Alcon bid was more than $400,000 lower than the other bid from Minnowa Construction. Alcon has since made it clear that they are not prepared to construct the project for the original bid, but offered to do the work for the original bid of $224,023 plus a change order of $70,987.50. Gregg said they adjusted the engineer’s estimate up to $238,719, adding it was a little light previously to deal with the water flow at this site. Gregg recommended they proceed with Alcon Construction with the change order. Bakke asked if this isn’t just

a low water crossing? Gregg acknowledged that it was, but that the depth of water pooling is a concern. He added if they rebid the project the bid could be even higher. The change order was approved as long as Alcon does the work as the company has proposed. The board approved Karr Tuckpointing’s bid to do exterior repairs on all of the courthouse building for a total of $30,993. Estimates were provided for two separate portions of the building, in the event the board decided to do just part of it in 2015. Vickerman explained that there was only $18,000 in the Capital Projects Building fund. However, the county was going to receive an unexpected margin return from the county’s health insur-

Commissioner Randy Dahl suggested they budget for repairs on the county office building for 2016. Southeast Service Cooperative sent the county a check for $25,314.54. This is a margin return earned by the county in the 2014 plan year due to the county’s low claim history over the last two years. Bakke thanked committee and department heads for safety work which contributed to the lowering of costs. A portion of this unexpected money will be used to pay about $13,000 of the exterior repair of the courthouse building. The board approved a conditional use permit for a sand pit for Ryan Oian, Generation X Construction, LLC, Section 35, Holt Township, as recommended by the Planning Commission after a public hearing on June 18. The sand pit CUP will include 8.4 acres leased by Oian (Generation X) and owned by Conrad Erickson, Lanesboro. The sand is to be used for construction purposes and livestock bedding. Interim zoning administrator Cristal Adkins said Generation X provided a very complete application and a good operation plan. The CUP will have three conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission including no blasting, runoff must be controlled, and the operation and reclama-

Sheriff Tom Kaase explained that the agreement, formerly called the South East Minnesota Narcotics Task Force, is basically the same with some language clean up and a name change. The team includes the counties of Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha, and Winona and the cities of Austin, Kasson, Lake City, Red Wing, and Winona.

A letter had been received from Brett Clarke complimenting Deputy Leif Erickson on his efforts which resulted in the rescue of the family dog on a bluff outside of Lanesboro. Clarke wrote, “With the negative press that is common in depicting law enforcement, this experience helped me drive home the point to my own kids that these are the people we call when we get into situations that we either are not trained for, don’t have the equipment for, or just plain can’t do it.” The 1968 exhibit is open at the History Center in Fountain and will be there until early October.

Red Cross urges blood FSA county committee nomination period in donations to maintain summer Fillmore County now open blood supply Fillmore County USDA Farm This year, nominations and important federal farm program The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood in the weeks surrounding Independence Day to help ensure a sufficient blood supply now and throughout the summer. Many summer activities, such as vacations and travel, cause frequent blood donors to be less available to give during the summer. However, hospital patients still depend on volunteer donors to receive lifesaving transfusions – the need for blood does not get a vacation. Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with O negative, A negative and B negative. Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to patients with any blood type. Types A and B negative can be transfused to Rh positive or negative patients.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities: Harmony: July 14, 2015: 1

p.m. - 7 p.m., Community Center, 225 Third Ave. SW. Houston: July 13, 2015: 2 p.m. - 7 p.m., St Mary’s Church, 202 S. Sheridan St. How to donate blood Simply download the American

Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. About the American Red Cross The American Red Cross shelters, feeds, and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 % of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

elections will be held in LAA 3, which includes the townships of Arendahl, Rushford, Holt, Norway, Amherst, Preble, Canton, and Newburg. Producers may nominate themselves or others as candidates. Organizations representing minority and women farmers and ranchers may also nominate candidates. To become a nominee, eligible individuals must sign form FSA669A. The form and more information about county committee elections is available online at: www.fsa.usda.gov/elections. Elected county committee members serve a three-year term and are responsible for making decisions on FSA disaster, conservation, commodity and price support programs, as well as other

Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Tammy Martin, announced that the nomination period for local FSA county committees began on June 15, 2015. Nomination forms must be postmarked or received in the Fillmore County FSA Office by close of business on Aug. 3, 2015. “County committees are unique to FSA and allow producers to have a voice on federal farm program implementation at the local level,” said Martin. To be eligible to serve on the FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in an agency administered program, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the Local Administrative Area (LAA) where they are nominated.

issues. County committees consist of three to eleven members. “It is important that county committees are comprised of members who fairly represent the diverse demographics of production agriculture for their community,” said Martin. “All producers, including women, minority, and beginning farmers and ranchers are encouraged to participate in the nomination and election process.” FSA will mail election ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 9. Ballots are due back in the Fillmore County Office by mail or in person no later than Dec. 7, 2015. All newly elected county committee members and alternates will take office January 1, 2016.

Peterson school repurposing meeting set By Rich Wicks All members of the Peterson City Council were in attendance at the regular meeting on July 8. After approval of agenda, prior minutes, and June Claims and Receipts, the council was addressed by Chuck Ehler and John Linder, representing the school district. They suggested having some type of brainstorming sessions, to get a “grassroots” opinion on how to repurpose the Middle School after it is vacated. Mayor Tim Hallum then asked about having a “town hall meeting” to give citizens a chance to learn more and be heard. After discussing best calendar options, it was decided the meeting will tentatively be held on Thursday, August 6 at 7p.m. Mayor Hallum will check to see if David Kane can attend, and the city will announce the meeting so all interested parties have a chance to attend. Next, the council heard from Mike Bubany regarding the County State Aid Highway 25 project bond. He suggested an unrated bond, and handed out a spreadsheet showing the rate and annual payments. Bubany

was asked about the interest rate, and he said, “If you agree to this plan, this is it. Just under 3.95 %”. A citizen asked what the average citizen’s cost impact would be if this bond is approved, and Bubany replied, “Whatever you’re paying today, this bond will have no impact, because it’s already factored in”. The council voted unanimously to approve the bond option as recommended by Mike Bubany. The council then also adopted the Post Issuance Compliance Policy, which Bubany said is not required, but “strongly recommended” by the IRS. Travis Zenke then spoke to the council regarding moving the water main to the south side of Mill Street, and explained why this is a good change. He also spoke of the need for sand for bedding under the water service lines in areas where the soil is poor, but he said this would create a small additional cost. The council approve both of these items. Next, there was general discussion regarding water and sewer rates, including opinions shared by council members and other citizens regarding the fairness of the any plans that might

be considered, including how to bill businesses and citizens that are only here part of the year. It was suggested that water meters would be a way to bill according to usage, but it was acknowledged that there would be a cost for such meters and a larger cost for installing them. Mayor Hallum also encouraged the council to remember that the school will be closed in a couple of years, and to keep that in mind as rates are considered, since that revenue will end. The item was tabled for further research and consideration. In the Planning Commission Update, the council adopted the Building Over Easement Policy, and approved the Quarve driveway request, as long as “nothing of permanence” is built or added in that spot. Regarding the suggested movement of electric lines, it was determined that underground would not work, and that moving the electric pole should be checked by professionals. Councilor Dick Lee will contact Morem Electric to come look into it. Mayor Hallum asked that this be done promptly, and said a special meeting will be held after that, to consider approving the

Short summer meeting for Fountain council By Barb Jeffers The Fountain City Council made quick work of its agenda at the regularly scheduled meeting on July 2, 2015. All council members were present. Motion by Schott, seconded by Wangen, to approve the Consent Agenda items. Motion passed. Consent Agenda items included Minutes from June 4, 2015 regular meeting, treasurer’s report, monthly city bills, and fire department bills. City maintenance worker John Hanson will be taking vacation July 20 - 24. Lawn mowing needs to be done in his absence. The council will check for someone to do lawn mowing of the

twelve and a half acres that needs to be maintained during Hanson’s absence. A wet no-freeze valve plug needs to be replaced on the water tower. The cost will range from $6,800 - $7,300. Motion by Gudmundson, seconded by Ostby, to replace it. Motion carried. Rochester City Lines bus driver Greg Hoff has contacted Ronda Flattum, City Clerk, to alert the council of possible noise on second street from buses and also normal wear and tear on the streets if buses are re-routed to pick up riders at the city parking lot. He stated he will re-route the commuter buses if the council

approves. The council agreed to “give it a try” and approved the new bus route. The Habitat 500 bicycle ride will come through Fountain on July 14, 2015 and will come through again on July 16. The group sent their planned route to the council for approval. The route is coming in on County Rd. 8, onto Cedar Street, then to County Rd. 11, and on to County Rd. 30. The council approved the route. The Ronald McDonald Run will be in Fountain on Sunday, July 26, 2015. Main Street will be blocked off and the group is renting the community hall and serving food. Main Street will be

movement, to help speed up the process rather than waiting until the next regular council meeting. The council then accepted the resignation of Dick Lee from the Planning Commission, and he explained he’s doing that because his term on the council ends next year, and he feels with all of the projects upcoming, someone who will be involved longer should fill his spot on the Commission. He nominated Dave Colbenson, but Dave said his wife is expecting another baby, so he prefers not to take on the duty of the Planning Commission at this time. The council appointed Loren Rue to the Planning Commission. The council also discussed the need to appoint a Zoning Administrator, and voted to appoint the City Clerk to take on that role. Discussion of the city tagline was tabled until a future meeting. In new business, Dave Colbenson talked of setting up a “river clean up event” later this summer or fall. He envisions coordinating at least ten volunteers, so that one group could walk the riverbank while another group floated down the river cleaning up trash. It was suggested this could be coordinated with Trail Days, and there could be a BBQ afterwards for the volunteers. Dave will look into

finding enough volunteers. The council then considered purchasing a 60-inch “smart TV” for City Hall. Megan explained it is needed especially for times when maps are shown during Planning Commission meetings, and she said she’d checked prices, which range from about $550 to $3000, depending on features. After discussion, the council approved Megan to purchase such a TV at a cost of up to $1000. There was discussion of the need for a water softener for City Hall, and the pro’s and con’s of a system that uses salt versus non-salt softeners. The issue was tabled until prices are known. The council considered the need for new Christmas lights for the city. Dick Lee said many of the lights are 20+ years old, and don’t look good anymore. Gail Boyum said, “I don’t think the city can afford it, but what if we can get 28 families to donate $100”? She asked if it would be allowable for her to send out letters asking for such donations. The council approved this, and also said the Lions Club might be a possible funding source to approach. The meeting adjourned about 8:30 p.m. The next regular meeting will be August 12 at 7 p.m. in City Hall. All are welcome.

filled with motorcycles. Flattum will be taking PTO on Thursday, July 9, 2015. Fountain Police Chief Tom Mosher was unable to attend the meeting and will give his activity report for June 2015 at the August 2015 meeting. Flattum and Schott attended

the Preston Ambulance Services summer picnic. The ambulance service is struggling to get additional volunteers. The Hach Company installed the DO system at the WWTP on July 1, 2015. The system seems to be working well. Meeting adjourned.

Ask a Trooper

taught motorists to drive with their headlights on at all times, even during the day, so they can avoid the whole issue of when to have headlights on. Even if you think you have headlights on all the time, you might not. Turn them on manually; then you will know for sure. Daytime running lights cannot be used in lieu of actual headlights during the times that actual headlights are required to be on. During those required times of headlights, all the other lights also are required (e.g., tail lights, marker lamps, etc.). Those other lights are not always on when the so-called “automatic” lights are on either. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minn. send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester; Minn. 55901-5848. (Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@state. mn.us) Twitter: MSPPIO_ SOUTH

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: My car has running lights and I always assumed that meant my rear lights were on as well, but my husband let me know one day as he was following behind me in the fog that my tail lights were not on. Since Troy H. then, I have Christianson noticed that many other drivers must assume the same thing. You might want to let them know they need to actually turn on their lights during the day when it is foggy or raining. Thanks. Answer: We have been fighting that battle for many years now and I hear about it all the time from people. I have always

Harmony filled with fun on the 4th By Barb Jeffers The City of Harmony knows how to throw a party, which is the reason the city was filled with people from July 3 - 5, 2015. Each year the town has three days of fun-filled action and activities for its 4th of July celebration and this year was no exception. The celebration began on Friday, July 3 as Harmony Enterprises held an open house from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. Many area residents took the opportunity to tour the business and learn what kind of work is done there. An open skate at Wheelers brought many children and adults in to show off their skating skills and some to try it for the first time. Attendees were invited to dress in the clothing style of their favorite decade, bringing poodle skirts and bell bottoms to mind. The beer tent, which was located in Selvig Park, opened Friday and was open throughout the day as well as Saturday. The beer tent, sponsored by the Harmony Conservation Club, is always a popular place, with entertainment such as Karaoke DJ Joe, who had the crowd singing Friday night. The Harmony Conservation Club also sponsored the pancake breakfast to kick off the festivities on Saturday. The Harmony Fire Hall had table after table of people sitting down to enjoy a hot and hearty breakfast. Those who participated in the

Harmony Hustle needed that healthy breakfast to give them the energy to complete the 5K and the 1K Kids Challenge which began at the Harmony Visitor Center. The event was sponsored by the Harmony Lion’s Club and Chuggers ACS Relay for Life Team. Golfers were hitting the links by 9 a.m. on Saturday for the Best Shot 9 Hole Golf Tourney held at the Harmony Golf Course. Groups of friends and families took to the golf carts and enjoyed not only golfing, but spending time together as well. The 5th Annual Hammell Equipment Kiddie Pedal Pull was a fun and exciting time for not only the kids participating, but also for their families who were there to support them. Gavin Wangen could be heard cheering on fiveyear-old Parker, reminding him to steer “straight ahead” as Parker moved his way down the stretch, ultimately receiving a trophy to proudly take home. River Valley Pedal Tractor Pulls crew provides the children with an enjoyable and memorable experience. Something new this year was

the Wisconsin Spudmobile. The Spudmobile is an RV with pictures of potatoes on the outside and a wealth of information about potatoes on the inside. It was designed by Wisconsin Potato & Vegetable Growers Association who describe the Spudmobile as “the potato industry’s most comprehensive educational and informational resource center, on wheels” according to its website, wisconsinspudmobile.com. Those who visited the Spudmobile were given a bag of Wisc. potato chips, which were very tasty. The Spudmobile was sponsored by Harmony Foods and First Southeast

Bank of Harmony and Canton. Many took the time to appreciate the Gausta Art Display at the Harmony Visitor’s Center. Several works of Norwegian artist Herbjorn Gausta were on display thanks to the Harmony Area Historical Society. Toads were the star of the show at the Village Green as the Toad Races took place. Some toads jumped up and out the second they were let go while others were

not in such a hurry to get to the finish line despite the encouragement from the toad owners. Sisters Hailey Ballinger, age 6, and Mikayla Ballinger, age 5, each entered toads and cheered them on as their hopped toward the finish line. Selvig Park was packed full of fun activities and good food, which made it a central gathering place. Children could be seen tossing water balloons at the Water Balloon War and then partaking in mini golf, the Tiger Bouncer, and the bouncy house called Mutiny on the Bouncer. The activities were sponsored in part by the Harmony Area Community Fo u n d a t i o n and Schriever Farms. Kids and adults both enjoyed the frosty treats at the Fillmore County American Dairy Association’s Malt & Ice Cream Wagon and with flavors including raspberry, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and twist, the decision of what flavor to get was not an easy one. Hot items to please the hungry stomach were available in the park, such as the Harmony Lions Club’s brat, hot dog, and barbeque stand. The brats were being sold almost as fast as they came off the grill as the aroma drifted through the park and drew people in.

The Fillmore County Pork Producers’ pork burgers, Stumpy’s pizza, and the smoked pork chop dinner by the Harmony United Methodist Church also hit the spot for many hungry guests. All of the food was so delicious many people decided to stop at more than one vendor. The Mavis Kjarland Art Show in the High School Cafeteria was a busy place as people were eager to see the beautiful work by the 1957 graduate of Harmony High School. In this year’s theme of “Harmony Through the Decades” both the Kiddie Parade and Grand Parade had some entries highlighting their favorite decades. Kids with smiles on their faces put smiles on the faces in the crowd as the Kiddie Parade made its way down main street. Many children were dressed in red, white, and blue including Evelyn Ofstedal, age 18 months, and Kira Ramer, 1, who rode together in a red wagon and looked as patriotic and cute as could be. Both girls are granddaughters of Doug and Cindy Ofstedal of Harmony. Evelyn was visiting all the way from Tokyo during the 4th of July celebration in Harmony. The Grand Parade included many floats by local businesses, marching bands, local royalty, antique cars, tractors, motorcycles and much more.

Following the parade Selvig Park got busy once again with the “Little Blue Choo” giving free train rides to kids, courtesy of Harmony Telephone Company and Bluff Country Computer Works.

Good old fashioned fun was in store for the remainder of Saturday with the Chuggers ACS Relay for Life Team holding an ice cream social at the Fillmore Central High School Cafeteria, Nativity Catholic Church sponsoring bingo under the shelter in the park, and JEM Movie Theatre hosting a family friendly movie in the evening. DJ T-Wolf & The Midnight Howling Hour revved up those in and around the beer tent Saturday night with great tunes that everyone loved. The night ended with what is the highlight of the weekend for

Eating from your garden: Kale and Potato Gratin Earlier this year I planted four kale seedlings in my garden, and then totally forgot about them. Kale is a simple leafy green from the brassica family (which means it’s related to cabbages and broccoli, among other plants) and has been cultivated for over 2000 years. This vitamin and mineral rich vegetable was essential for sustaining humans and livestock through lean times and long winters. It’s tolerant of cold weather and grows as a bianin many climates.

The leftovers make a fine breakfast when scrambled up with eggs. If you’re feeling ambitious, try an omelet. My omelet fell apart, so scrambled eggs it was!

excess, I realized I didn’t have any good recipes to use up all these healthy, good for you green leaves. Recipes for kale chips and kale smoothies abound online, but neither were quite what I was looking for. Instead I turned to my favorite cookbook, ‘Joy of Cooking’. There I discovered a recipe for Kale and Potato Gratin. It uses up

Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter a 2 quart shallow baking dish. Prepare your vegetables: One large bunch of kale (about one pound) washed well, sliced, and deribbed. 4 medium Yukon Gold or all-purpose potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/8 inch rounds. 2 small onions, peeled and sliced into rounds. Directions: Steam the kale for about 8 minutes, until almost tender. Let it cool enough to handle and squeeze as much moisture as you possibly can out of it. Roughly chop the kale. Build up alternating layers of potatoes, onions, and kale (two layers each) in the baking dish, beginning and ending with potatoes. Dot each onion layer with: 2 tbls. butter 1 tsp. of minced fresh herbs (The book calls for tarragon, I used summer savory and was pleased with the result.) ½ tsp. salt ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper Pour 1 ½ cups milk or half-and-half over the top. Cover and bake until potatoes are almost tender and almost all of the liquid is absorbed. The book says 30-45 minutes, I say about one hour. Remove foil and run under broiler to brown top. Just a word of caution here - be careful if you’re using a glass pan. You’re really not supposed to broil glass pans, as you run the risk of shattering the pan if you do.
