Chuck Ehler looks forward to retirement, but will miss kids
Memorial Day Ceremony
BY LEAH HIMLIE news@fillmorecountyjournal.com
In the past few years it seems like many teachers in the Rushford-Peterson school district have retired, and now it is time for Superintendent Charles (Chuck) Ehler to retire as well. He has been at R-P for 12 years and has made a great impact on the school and community. Though his career will end in Rushford, it began in Mabel, Minn., when he graduated from Mabel-Canton High School in 1969. After graduation, Ehler went to Winona State University (WSU) to get his bachelor’s degree in history and instructional media. He graduated from WSU in 1974 and was hired as the media director in the South Winneshiek school district in 1976. He worked in South Winneshiek for 31 years in a variety of positions. In addition to being the media director, he was also the boys basketball coach, boys golf coach, acting high school principal, and elementary and middle school principal. During this time, he went back to school at the University of Northern Iowa for his master’s degree in education and principal K-12 endorsement. In 1992 he got his sixth year certification from WSU. Ehler moved to Rushford in July 2007. He had been hired as the superintendent of the Rushford-Peterson school district despite having no prior experience in such a position. One would think that would be difficult enough, but Mother Nature disagreed; she added to the challenge with the flood
Chuck Ehler has enjoyed his time with R-P kids, but is looking forward to relaxing and family time in his upcoming retirement. Photo submitted of August 2007. Ehler was faced with the task of preparing everything for school in September. He did not back down from the job. He was able to start up school in a timely manner, thereby achieving something important: trust within his new community. Securing the funding for both Rushford’s and Moose Lake’s new schools was another tremendous achievement for Ehler. It took a lot of hard work, community support, and a little of what he called
“divine intervention,” but the end result was worth it. The community has a beautiful new school, and with the new school has come an influx of new kids. Ehler stated that he will miss the constant contact with the kids, especially their hugs and high fives. Though the position of superintendent comes with perks such as those, it is a very busy job. He mentioned that See EHLER Page 2 ➤

he has not able to do everything he and his family have wanted because of all the demands of his job. “It’s time for me to give back to my family,” he said. This response is not a surprise to many people who know him. Many students and staff have seen him helping the custodians wipe off tables after lunch or picking up trash on the floor. Samantha Cunningham, the art teacher at R-P, said of him: “He has a heart of gold. A servant’s heart.” Ehler has no specific plans after his retirement, only calling it “a different phase of life.” He will not have to constantly manage his time as he does while working, so he will be able to relax and enjoy things as they come. Ehler is very grateful for the support he has had here throughout the years from the school board, committees, staff, and many more. He feels truly blessed to have been given the opportunities he has had. These last 12 years have been full of many challenges and rewards, and he will be greatly missed at Rushford-Peterson Schools.

Laura Christensen steps in at SWCD By Rich Wicks If you’ve stopped in to the Fillmore County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) office lately, you may have noticed a new face. That’s Laura Christensen, who was recently hired as district administrator. Laura explained, “I am replacing Donna Rasmussen. She’s been here a long time and has been a really big part of this district, so I have big shoes to fill… Donna has helped mentor me, and she’s been wonderful.” “I’m coming from up by Duluth, in Carlton County, where I worked as a technician, and I have lots of diverse experience all over the state. I grew up in southwest Minnesota, on a farm.” Laura pointed out that she earned a degree in Biology from Bemidji State University, with minors in environmental science and wetlands ecology. Her work experience totals six years in this field. “I have also worked at a watershed district in central Minnesota,” she added. When asked about her new position, Laura stated, “I used to be very much in the field, doing different conservation projects, and now I’ll mainly be managing staff and our budgets.” She explained that she’ll be working with nine staff members at the SWCD, and some have worked

there for decades, so she truly appreciates all of the expertise they bring. Fillmore SWCD also has a five member board of supervisors. In explaining what the SWCD office offers to the community, Laura said, “We are here to help landowners implement conservation projects. A big focus is with agriculture. We do things like grass waterways. We help provide technical as well as financial assistance.” She also mentioned that the SWCD can work with municipalities such as townships. The Fillmore SWCD is also involved with low-interest loans, educational programs, stormwater management, soil health, bacteria testing, grazing management, feedlot runoff control, windbreaks, nutrient/ manure management, trees and tree supply sales, State Cost Share Program, private well testing, cover crops, Reinvest in Minnesota, forest management, and many other projects/ services.

ferent grants, from the DNR and from MPCA and various other entities.” Because of this, she said political and legislative changes can have a great impact on the SWCD grants. Laura stated that the SWCD is here to help, and welcomes any questions, as well as welcoming anyone to come in and find out more information. The office is at 900 Washington Street NW in Preston, and Laura pointed out, “This is a great hub.

Although Laura has only been in Fillmore County for a few weeks, she said she’s been impressed by the friendliness she’s noticed, and she looks forward to continuing her outdoor pastimes, including hunting, fishing, and biking. She added, “I’m extremely excited to be here and serve the people of Fillmore County.”

C OMMENTARY Working together for greater impact By Tim Penny President/CEO Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation At Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF), our tagline is “Collaborating for Regional Vitality.” Whether we are working with partners in early childhood, economic development or community vitality, we do our best to complement Tim Penny what others are doing in those arenas so that collectively we can have more results than we would have separately. This spirit of collaboration was brought to life at our inaugural Sprout! events that were held earlier this spring. These events, which we hosted in Cannon Falls, Spring Valley, Kasota and Fairmont, were an effort to bring our many resources directly to more people in our region, while celebrat-
ing the partnerships that have had an impact on the place we call home. It was energizing to see so many people come out to learn about SMIF and to visit with each other. At each event we heard from several of our partners who spoke about the important work they are doing in the region, and how partnering with SMIF has enhanced that work. Joya Stetson from Community Economic Development Associates (CEDA) spoke about some of the initiatives that have led to stronger structural support for entrepreneurs in rural communities. Through a 2018 Economic Development Grant from SMIF, they created a program in Stewartville to provide rental assistance to new start-up businesses. They have already had two entrepreneurs successfully utilize the program which has resulted in three new jobs. They have also been able to educate 24 entrepreneurs by offering free educational opportunities to the public. Heather Millard, the Early Childhood Coordinator at Saint Charles Public Schools, talked about the
growth in early childhood that she has witnessed over the years in her community. In 2012 SMIF helped start an Early Childhood Initiative, which eventually led to more funding to hold free events for families, deliver welcome bags to new babies in town, and the hiring of a community liaison who supports early childhood in the community and the school. They have also been able to purchase curriculum and supplies for child care providers and they have received grants to provide free books to students. Angel Uribe, owner of Stages of Change Center in Mankato, talked about her experience in SMIF’s Prosperity Initiative, a program that promotes inclusive entrepreneurship and minority-owned business growth. Through the program she was connected with a business coach, financial planning tutorials, and other important resources and tools that allowed her to reimagine what her business could be. As she likes to say, when she started her business she used to look up and think that the sky
Four Minnesota cities awarded PFA Funds totaling $17.93 million
Sacred Heart $1,619,782 This project consists of rehabilitation of the city’s wastewater treatment plant. Funding for this project comes from a Water Infrastructure Fund grant of $615,370, a SCDP grant of $490,000, a $331,504 USDA Rural Development grant and a $182,908 USDA Rural Development loan. Arden Hills $568,809 This project consists of the installation of a water main extending along Highway 10 from Highway 96 to Highway 35 W. Funding for this project comes from special legislative appropriation of $500,000 and $68,809 from the city. The Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA) provides financing and technical assistance to help communities build and maintain public infrastructure that protects public health and the environment and promotes economic growth. Since its inception in 1987 the PFA has financed $4.5 billion in public infrastructure projects in communities throughout Minnesota.
The Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA) approved $17.93 million in loan and grant funding for water infrastructure projects in Minnesota. Funding was approved for Faribault, Winnebago, Sacred Heart, and Arden Hills. “Clean drinking water is a necessity for every Minnesotan family and business,” said Governor Tim Walz. “These PFA dollars are a great investment in our communities and pave the way for future growth.” “Water projects like these help insure that current and future water infrastructure needs are being met,” said Steve Grove, PFA chair and commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). “The PFA is a critical part developing communities for future business growth.” Faribault $10,205,719 This project consists of the con-
struction of a new drinking water treatment plant, demolition of a pump house and ground storage reservoir and well improvements. The funding for this project comes from a Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWRF) loan of $10,205,719. This 1% loan is expected to save city residents $1,061,989 over the cost of market rate financing. Winnebago $5,543,786 This project consists of the replacement of sanitary sewer and water mains in the northwest part of the city. PFA funding for this project comes from a $2,157,161 loan from the Clean Water Revolving Fund (CWRF) and a $2,786,625 DWRF loan. Together the 1% loans are expected to save city residents $622,946 over the cost of market rate financing. The final $600,000 comes in the form of a DEED Small Cities Development Program (SCDP) grant.
is the limit, but with the help of the Prosperity Initiative, the sky is now her point of view. I left each of the Sprout! events in awe of what our partners have been able to accomplish over the years, and I am humbled that SMIF has been able to play a role in supporting those efforts. As our past board chair, Jean Burkhardt, so eloquently stated, SMIF is like the bassline in music, and the communities in our region are the treble line. The bassline is the steady beat that keeps things going so that the treble line can do impactful work. When all of these notes work together, the result is beautiful music. As always, I welcome your comments and questions. You can reach me at timp@smifoundation.org or (507) 455-3215.

Fillmore County Sports Cougars Grab Second East Title in Three Years
athlete of the week
By Paul Trende In the early 2010s, MabelCanton softball had some very lean years. H e a d THE TRENDE C o a c h REPORT Kati Bergey captained the ship through all of it. Said ship is now sailing through fruitful Paul Trende waters. In the midst of their third straight winning season, for a second time in three years, M-C has captured the 1A East softball title. The Cougars (2-seed, 11-6) went through Southland, Goodhue, and then upstart FC/L to earn a trip to the Section 1A Final Four. The Rebels (8-seed, 0-17) were dispatched in the quarters 14-4 in six. M-C had a 6-run first and drew 10 total walks. Jordyn Newgard (2-4, 2B, 3 RBI, 2 R), Molly Lee (2-3, 2B, 2 RBI, 3 R) and Hannah Snell (2-4, 3B, RBI, R) had a pair of hits. Emily Carolan got the win (6 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K). Goodhue (3-seed, 9-7) then came to town. M-C had three-run first. The Wildcats got as close as 3-2 (2 ½ innings) and 5-4 (4 ½ innings), but the Cougars prevailed 7-4. Kenidi McCabe (2-3, 2 RBI, R) and Carolan (2-4, RBI) had multiple hits. M-C had just six as a team, but 12 other runners reached (7 walks). Carolan (7 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 3 K) got the win. The Cougars (13-6) then trekked to Wabasha for the 1A East title game with
FC/L (4-seed, 7-14), which upset 1-seed W-K. A fast M-C start put the game on ice early. Two-run hits by Lexi Thorson and Carolan in the first sparked a 5-run inning. By the end of the third, M-C led 9-0. They won the 1A East title, final score 9-2. Thorson (2-4, two 2B, 3 RBI, R) and McCabe (3-3, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R) had multiple hits. Payton Danielson (1-3, 2B, RBI, R), and Carolan (1-3, 2 RBI) also drove in runs. Carolan allowed just three hits (7 IP, 2 R, 0 ER, 5 BB, 1 K, Win). Kelsey Biel and Addie Peters had RBIs for FC/L. Lauren Mensink and Krista Jorgenson scored runs. In the three games, the Cougars out-scored their three opponents 14-0 in the first inning. The Cougars (146) head to Austin to play West 1-seed #2 in Class A W-E-M (20-0).
Gophers Make Sixth Straight Trip to Austin
It is maybe the toughest section in the state. The Final Four will be a dogfight. Chatfield softball will be a part of it. The #9 in AA Gophers are again set to play in Austin. Their sub-section run included wins over C/ SG, L-A, a loss to #2 Cotter, but then a win over St. Charles. The Warriors (7-seed, 7-11) were an easy fell, 16-0 in five. Junior pitcher Lexi Chase notched a grand slam perfect-game combo (3-4, 2B, GS-HR #2, 5 RBI, R, 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 10 K, Win). Frosh Peyton Berg had a huge day (3-4, two 2B, HR #3, 6 RBI, R). Belle Berg (3-4, RBI, 2 R), Alanna Goetzinger (2-3, 2B, RBI, 2 R), and McKenna Daniels (2-2, 2 R) added multiple hits. A semifinal with L-A (3-seed, 15-4) was then a

grind. The team’s regular season meeting was a nine-inning 1-0 Gopher win. The play-off game took 12 innings. Four times (6th, 8th, 10th, 12th innings), with runners in scoring position, the Cardinals intentionally walked B-Berg to get to clean-up hitter Goetzinger. Finally, with the bases juiced in the twelfth, the senior blasted a single to right field, scoring Abby Nosbisch (1-3, 2B, R), for the walk-off win. The battle of Chase (12 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 2 BB, 21 K, Win) versus Olivia Funk (11 1/3 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 8 BB, 5 intentional, 11 K, Loss) was won by the former, who set a career-high in strikeouts (topping 20 Ks set in the regular season meeting). Only one Cardinal reached scoring position. It set up a third straight 1AA East final with #2 in AA Cotter (1-seed, 20-2). After 4 ½ scoreless innings, the Ramblers used Gopher errors, then a 3-run home run by Alison French (3-3, 3 RBI, R), to post a 5-run fifth. Cotter grabbed its second straight 1AA East title, 5-0. Chase (2-3, two 2B) had both Gopher hits (4 1/3 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, Loss). Isabel Northrup (7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 14 K, Win) commanded the Gopher line-up. Chatfield turned right around and played St. Charles (4-seed, 16-7), who the Gophers swept (9-2, 6-2) in the regular season, for the 1AA East runner-up spot. The Saints plated one in the first. A 2-run Mia Pierre home run made it 3-0 in the third. Peyton Berg’s tree-killing no-doubt 2-run home run, and McKenna Daniels’ pretty-far 2-run home run, gave the Gophers life, a 4-run fourth inning (ending a 19-inning, one-run scoring span). SC took a 5-4 lead a ½

inning later, but the Gophers posted a 5-run fifth. Chase’s beleaguered arm then preserved the lead. A 9-5 win made the Gophers 1AA East Runner-Ups. P-Berg (2-3, HR #4, 4 RBI, R), Daniels (2-3, HR #3, 3 RBI, R), Chase (2-3, RBI, R), and Goetzinger (2-2, 2B, 2 R) had multiple hits. Chase grabbed the win (7 IP, 10 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 5 K). She pitched 23 1/3 innings over two days. The Gophers (18-5) will face 1AA West Runner-Up Z-M (19-4).
Hot Shots
FC/L softball won two playoff games to make the 1A East title game. Krista Jorgenson pitched both wins. Versus 1-seed W-K in the semis, the Falcons got two seventh inning runs for a 5-4 win. After falling to M-C, FC/L and W-K played again. Hannah Storlie hit a go-ahead sole homer in the sixth (2-1). W-K scored two in the seventh for the walk-off win. Halen Schwendinger hit a homer as R-P baseball beat Houston in play-off action. Hurricane Jaytin Millen and Chatfield’s Seth Allen hit home runs in play-off defeat. The Gophers lost on a walk-off single. LFCMC’s Emma Breitsprecher (100-H, 300-H, P-Vault, 4x400) had four first place finishes at the Sub 1 track meet. RPH’s Triton Meldahl (110-H, 300-H, T-Jump, L-Jump) qualified for the Section 1A meet four times, Brady Gile (T-Jump, L-Jump, 200) thrice. GMLOKS’ Hailey Hindt (100-H, 300-H, H-Jump, 4x200) and Lauren Buchholtz (100, L-Jump, 4x100, 4x200) qualified four times. LARP boys golf took second to La Crescent at the TRC Meet.

Spring Valley to keep policy coordinator By Rich Wicks The Spring Valley City Council met in regular session on May 29. Members in attendance included Mayor Tony Archer, Luan Ruesink, Chris Danielson, John Dols, and City Administrator Deb Zimmer. Mike Hadland was absent. No visitors had signed up to address the council. The council discussed an issue that’s been brought up before regarding whether or not the city should have a specified contact person (policy coordinator) within the Fillmore County Sheriff’s department. Until now, the city has chosen to have this position, because it allows that person to be the main liaison between the city and the department. Because of the upcoming departure of Jessy Betts, the city’s options now are to eliminate the policy coordinator position for Spring Valley, or to have it filled
by sergeants (supervisory staff within the department). John Dols made a motion to continue the position, and have it filled by the applicable sergeants. Luan Ruesink responded, “My thought on the situation is to dissolve the position and divide the responsibilities up between the three deputies.” She explained that since the two sergeants live outside of Spring Valley, and generally work nights, she fears it may be tough to reach them promptly during daytime hours. Deb Zimmer said something to keep in mind is that if the policy coordinator position is eliminated, the city would most likely no longer get the monthly activity reports, and there would generally not be a member of the department at city council meetings. Jessy Betts addressed the council, explaining that the main advantage to having the position is, “Simply that you’re
talking to the people that can actually make a difference with any problems you have… Doing it with the three (deputies) in town, they’re just going to have to go back to the sergeants.” Betts said the only real advantage to eliminating the position is the cost savings. But he explained that some small towns choose not to have the position; it just depends on what each town decides they want. Zimmer shared that without a policy coordinator, the city might contact a deputy, who then might have several days off, and she said it’s possible the message may not be promptly forwarded to the other deputies. But she said the policy coordinator has a duty to communicate any such messages to all applicable personnel. After discussion, the council voted to continue with the policy coordinator position, using the two

sergeants, as assigned by the sheriff. Brian Holtz, representing the engineering firm of Bolton & Menk, spoke to the council about the ongoing issue of the Brian Owens property. He summarized that the matter had been discussed at the council’s recent work session, and he said in order to do a “land swap,” there would be considerable expense, possibly in excess of $10,000. He said the two options are, “Do nothing, or my recommendation is, I think what’s fair on all parties, is reducing his assessment to 66 feet, for an easement giving you true legal access to those culverts and that drainage way.” He said it’s essentially a trade, adding, “That doesn’t change ownership, it just gives you true legal access forever… to essentially do all the stuff you’re doing now.” The council voted to pursue the plan as suggested by Holtz. Zimmer brought up a concern that the city was informed of,
Fillmore Central wraps up school year and preps for next one By Hannah Wingert At the May 28 Fillmore Central School Board meeting, Principal Heath Olstad reported that all of the seniors participated in the May 26th graduation ceremony. Of the 38 students graduating, 18 plan to attend a fouryear college or university, 10 plan to attend a two-year technical or community college, nine will be joining the workforce, and one is entering the Air Force. The spring concerts were well attended by the community and demonstrated the students’ and music teachers’ hard work throughout the year. The local banks will be continuing the mini grant program through the 2019-2020 school year which helps fund many of the field trips and other programs at the school. Resignations were accepted from high school teacher Jeffrey Dick, elementary teacher Karn Friedges, paraprofessional Shelly Wahl, daycare teacher Lori

They are safe now, and ready to find their forever homes! April seems to get along well with other dogs, and may enjoy having a doggie friend in her new home. She and Andrew do not need to be adopted together, but they do love each other, so it’s an option if someone was interested!

regarding recent door-to-door soliciting by workers from the Edward D. Jones Company. She explained that Spring Valley has an ordinance prohibiting doorto-door solicitation, but a representative of ED Jones asked if this could be waived since the company is simply trying to determine whether or not to open a branch office in Spring Valley. After discussion, the council voted to not waive the ordinance regarding this. The council considered two bids received for use of the “hay grounds,” and accepted the higher bid, from Tom Lentz. John Fenske reported that the swimming pool got painted, and it should be ready soon. John Dols and Mayor Archer each voiced appreciation for the quick action by the fire department in dispatching storm spotters during the recent severe weather warnings. The next regular meeting of the council will be Monday, June 10 at 6 p.m. As always, the public is welcome. ball, and baseball with Lanesboro was approved as well as one with Mabel-Canton for wrestling.

When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see? By Pailey Gordon I am going to ask you to do something that may seem a little crazy, but hear me out. I want you to get up from wherever you are reading this and go to the closest mirror you have. I want you to look in the mirror for at least a minute, tell yourself out loud all the Pailey Gordon things you love about yourself. If you catch yourself thinking about something negative just stop, breathe, smile, and go back to listing positive things you see. Do this for about one to two minutes the first couple of days or until you are comfortable with going longer, before long you will be doing it for five minutes without a problem. For some, this may be very easy. For others, this may be a bit of a struggle at first. This is called the “mirror technique”; it helps you boost your self-esteem and helps reflect a good selfimage.

on themselves and how you view yourself can greatly impact the lifestyle you live. If you have a good amount of positive selfesteem, it will lead you to have a healthier lifestyle because you will want to take care of yourself and you also tend to check in with your mental health more often. If you have a poor amount of good self-esteem, you will not be taking care of yourself as well as you could. Most people start to not care about how they feel about themselves or they beat themselves down to the point where it interferes with their mental health. Not only can positive selfesteem make you feel happier, it can also can improve your communication skills, confidence, and motivation. You will be more decisive and set higher goals for yourself. According to letsreachsuccess.com, many successful people do this technique even after they have achieved so much. The reason why? They know that this little habit can help them and reaffirm that they are doing great. A problem people run into with this exercise is they don’t know what to say, so I have a

You can start by reaffirming your good qualities that you know you have such as: “I am kind.” “I am proud of who I am.” “I am friendly.” “I trust myself.” Another thing you can do is, if you feel comfortable with this, find the things about your physical appearance that you like such as: “I like the color of my eyes.” “My hair looks healthy.” “My skin is very clear today.” The other thing you can do is say positive things that will/did happen during the day, such as: “Today will be great.” “I deserve the best.” “Good things will happen today.” When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Soon you will see a confident, comfortable person looking back at you. It may take a while to get there, but you can and it can change how you see not only yourself but everyone around you.

Rushford reviews bonding, project bids By Kirsten Zoellner While the agenda for the Tuesday, May 28 Rushford Council meeting was shorter than normal, there was plenty of discussion, particularly of the city’s upcoming street and utility improvement project. The affected areas of the project include East Grove Street, Walnut Street, North Burr Oak, and Lamplighters Lane. Total project cost is $1,754,969. The negotiated sale of the bond is $1.8 million. Financial Consultant Mike Bubany, of David Drown & Associates, was on hand at the meeting to discuss the terms and the proposals for bonds that were received. The city council has approved the proposal from United Bankers’ Bank at a net rate of 2.2712% over a 10-year term. The other two proposals came from Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc. and Northland Securities, Inc. “Bidders often couple with other companies behind the scenes. When United Bankers’ Bank called and said they intended to bid separately, I knew that was good news,” noted Bubany. In preliminary planning for the project, Bubany had estimated a conservative 2.9% interest rate. “I built a little fluff into rate and we did bet-
Financial Consultant Mike Bubany, center, addresses the Rushford Council May 28. Also pictured, left to right, are Councilors Terri Benson and Sally Ryman, and City Clerk Kathy Zacher. Photo by Kirsten Zoellner ter than the fluff,” he said. “If you look at what happened, the purchaser didn’t take anything and said we’re gonna get paid on the other side. They’re selling principal payments for premium and there are yields you’re going to benefit from.” The average levy amount to cover the bond is $77,000. The city has a self-set debt per capita limit of $6,000 and this new bond keeps total debt under that level. The city did seek a reevaluation of bond rating through
Standard and Poor’s for this bond. While it was hoped the city could regain the A+ rating it once had, due to recent increases in financial reserves, it was reaffirmed at A-stable. “Years ago it was [A+], but the city dwindled cash reserves. Since then, you’ve worked hard to rebuild reserves and stayed budgetary flexibility and management is perfect,” said Bubany. One of the reasons the city rating remained the same was a noted “weak debt position,”
Permit for recycling center considered By Karen Reisner At the May 23 meeting of the Planning Commission, K. Rodney Beer presented his plans for a concrete recycling center to be located in Section 21, York Township. Zoning Administrator Cristal Adkins explained the conditional use permit will be issued under regulations for a quarry. Beer plans to crush concrete on the site, but will not be doing any blasting. Duane Bakke suggested a condition be put on the CUP for this site, which would only allow concrete recycling. If in the future, someone would want to do additional activities, someone will need to come back to the commission to have that permitted. Beer described drainage plans to create a basin to allow any sediment to settle out. Uses for the crushed material include base material for driveways and subgrade material. He plans to stockpile concrete, bringing a crusher in every couple of weeks. There were no comments from township supervisors or the public during the meeting.

The commission unanimously approved the CUP with two conditions: the quarry area will need a surveyed boundary and no blasting is allowed. After the survey is completed, the CUP application will go to the county board for their consideration. Adkins spoke about a loophole in the ordinance regulating septic systems. As the ordinance currently reads, if property is transferred with no exchange of money the septic system is not required to be inspected because the property isn’t being sold. The ordinance language will need to be amended so inspection is required when the property is sold and also if just transferred. Board of Adjustment Tristen Girolamo, Section 23, Harmony Township, had applied for a variance to allow the construction of a dwelling on land with a crop equivalency rating over 65. The state has a 150-foot right of way off Highway 44 in this location. Adkins suggested it would be better to have the variance for cropland than trying to get a variance from the state. Andy Bisek said he would rather see the dwelling built in the wooded area with a variance from the state. Gary Ruskell noted the location is near the Harmony city limits and the driveway is already there in the cropland location. There was no comment from township supervisors or the public. The variance was approved with a four to one vote (Bisek voted no). Ray Gingerich, Section 27,
Bristol Township, requested a variance to construct a temporary dwelling on land with a crop equivalency rating greater than 65. His son Joe wants to build a shop house with a future plan to build a permanent home on nearby property that will not need the variance. The “shouse” is intended to eventually be a shop without living quarters. Adkins said the area where they intend to build the permanent house does not have enough room for more than one structure (land is steep beyond this area). There was no comment from township supervisors or the public during the meeting. The variance was approved unanimously.

according to Standard & Poor’s. However, Bubany noted other cities with double AA+ status whose debt is also categorized as weak. “They look at debt per capita, debt to reserves, debt to market values… it’s just their term for a specific ratio,” added Bubany. “The second reason out of your control — local economy,” he continued. “They feel there’s not enough growth potential. If we improve debt position it could have upward push, but we all know you’re staring a number of projects in the face.” “Financially speaking, it doesn’t make much difference. The point is, financially, had you gotten an A+, you could have patted yourselves on the back, but it wouldn’t have changed much.” He estimated that in 10 basis points, the higher rating might have made a difference of $9,000 difference over the course of a 10-year term. In other news, the council has approved an update to the floodplain ordinance, following updated Federal Emergency Management Agency and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources mapping. A public hearing will also be held on the ordinance. The new mapping will go into effect August 15. “There are reasons we’re making these changes,” stated City Clerk/Treasurer Kathy Zacher. “It’s just the ordinance now. Then, we decide how involved we’re going to be in helping people in the affected areas. If
Page 19
we’re proactive and help people address these things right away, some of them might be really simple.” Zacher indicated that projected mapping might not be accurate to surveyed mapping and that Letters of Map Amendment can be put forth by affected property owners. “If we feel an obligation to help not just with physical, but with paperwork, either way it’s going to help the homeowner if we take the lead. First we need to get the ordinance in place.” The Airport Commission is seeking proposals for a Fixed Base Operator. Similar to an airport engineer contract, which is federal, the state suggests the city should review potential opportunities for operator contract every 10 years. The position is not paid, but the operator will receive perks negotiated by the Airport Commission, including use of hangar space. Submission deadline for the contract is June 1 through July 31. During the reports/updates portion of the meeting, Zacher updated the council on the proposed updates to the city’s tobacco ordinance. She stated that Brenda Pohlman, of Fillmore County Public Health, is waiting for the state to come out with its ordinance/policy language before the county determines theirs. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, June 10, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to

Routine business at County Board By Karen Reisner County Engineer Ron Gregg presented four bids for the concrete overlay project on CSAH 1 south of Ostrander and north of Ostrander to CR 39 at the board’s May 28 meeting. He added that approval has been received from the MnDOT Office of Civil Rights. The board approved the lowest bid from Croell, Inc. in the amount of $3,516,637.47. This bid was just slightly lower than the engineer’s estimate. The bid is locked in for next year, although the project could be done this year. About $2,080,000 of this project will be paid for with federal dollars. Approval was given to enter into an Airport Maintenance and
Operation Grant contract with MnDOT. The ongoing contract allows the acceptance of grant money that comes in for maintenance and operations. The board authorized the county engineer and highway/maintenance airport office manager Pam Schroeder to execute the contract. The county has scheduled weed spraying on a two year rotation. Spraying county roadway ditches in the north half of the county is planned for this year. Other business in brief missioners’ Warrants was approved unanimously. Chairman Duane Bakke said they were “messed up.” They will need to be corrected for the next board meeting.

Rep. Walz “has taken over the legislative branch.” Minority leaders felt they were not included in all of the negotiating process. The 13 special session bills that were passed will go to the governor’s desk to be signed into law in the week following the passage of the budget. Walz’s proposed 20 cent gas tax increase was dropped during the negotiations, which the democrats supported in order to provide a stable, long term funding source for roads and bridges. But, the medical provider tax supported by Democrats and opposed by Republicans was extended indefinitely at 1.8%. It was slightly reduced from the 2% tax which had been scheduled to expire at the end of this year. This revenue goes into the Health Care Access Fund for medical assistance.

Burnetts receive preservation award By Karen Reisner At the May 28 Chatfield City Council meeting, Chris Giesen, chairman of the Heritage Preservation Commission, presented this year’s preservation award to Rocky and Melissa Burnett. May is preservation month. The commercial building at 208 Main was restored and preserved. The Burnetts recognized the building had good bones and brought new life to an old existing building. It is now the home of their business Big Girl Stickers and Stems. Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation Alissa Oeltjenbruns, SMIF, thanked the council for their past support. SMIF has invested $5 million annually in the 20 counties of south central and southeastern Minnesota. Chatfield received a grant to its arts group from the small town grant program.

Oeltjenbruns maintained there is a shortage of child care in the region and we need to fill the gap, in part, by helping home-based child care providers. Eight thousand kids don’t have a place to go for child care. City Clerk Joel Young said SMIF has been a solid presence for a long time. The city could increase its contribution for next year.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: The driver’s training manual says to have both hands on the steering wheel. First it was “two and 10” and now with airbags they say “nine and three.” The question, is it a Sgt. Troy H. law that you Christianson must have both hands on the wheel? I have never seen that as a law and if so there sure would be a lot of violations. I’m thinking if it is the manual, it must be a law. Answer: There is not a law requiring both hands be on the steering wheel or what position they are to be in when operating a motor vehicle. The Minnesota driver’s manual provides a suggestion for vehicles equipped with airbags. They suggest you keep your hands on the eight and four o’clock or nine and three o’clock positions – avoid the 10 and two o’clock position. Keep your thumbs turned out on the steering wheel. Try to maintain at least 10 inches between yourself and the steering wheel. Front passenger seats should be moved as far back as possible. Read your operator’s manual before driving or riding in a vehicle equipped with airbags. For more information about the use of seat belts, airbags, and car safety seats, Safety Office of Traffic Safety Website at ots.dps.mn.gov. Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission are going to require the driver to take one hand off of the steering wheel to shift gears. My suggestion is to keep both hands on

the steering wheel as much as possible, your eyes to the road, constantly scanning the road, shoulders and ditches. I would also recommend checking your rearview and side mirrors often for approaching traffic. You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Or reach him at, Troy.Christianson@state.mn.us.
