Local bear hunter tags possible record holder By K irsten Zoellner kzoellner@fillmorecountyjournal.com
When you think bear hunting, you may get the image of a burly, north woodsman holding a large rifle while stalking a massive beast. You may be surprised then to meet Jennifer Nolte, of Chatfield. The smallframed mother of three young children is hardly the stereotypical hunting image, but her skills with a bow are nothing less than impressive. Nolte, along with husband Chad and friend Tim Melver, of Preston, recently returned from a hunting excursion in Ignace, Ontario with quite a
tale to tell. While the trio is still awaiting official news, following a 60-day wait period, Jennifer may have tagged the largest black bear ever shot by a woman. There’s no doubt that the bear will at least make the top ten record book. With the season opening this past August 15, the trio made arrangements to hunt through an outfitter. The way the system works is much different than the lottery-type hunting here, due to the high number of bears in Ontario. “The outfitter purchases a permit for a 150 square mile piece of land in a bear management area,” says Melver. “It’s wild
hunting, on provincial land, exclusively open to only nonresidents, and we purchase our tags through the outfitter. It’s actually really affordable.” While it was Melver’s fourth bear hunting trip, it was the Noltes’ first bear expedition. In two days, Melver says the trio saw six bears and they tagged their bears in three days. To some it may sound terrifying, being only 12-15 yards away from the bears in nothing but a portable tree stand, but Black Bears are not See BEAR HUNT Page 13

The city has received a detailed summary report following a Business Retention & Expansion (BR&E) Needs Assessment by Economic Development Authority (EDA) member Tom Driscoll, Joyce Iverson, and City Administrator Steve Sarvi. Formed in the spring, the BR&E group is seeking to not only demonstrate the municipalities interest in strengthening the business community, but to identify any red flags within that community immediately. The process began the careful structuring of a quality survey geared at the area’s approximate 260 businesses. Once a varied cross-section of the business was identified, 26 surveys were sent out. Then, appointments were set up with the businesses and in-depth interviews were conducted. From there, the group took the 3,200 points, plotted them into a worksheet, studied
the answeres and categorized them into a system. “This isn’t the Holy Grail, but it does provide a pretty good snapshot of the area,” noted Sarvi. Driscoll agreed adding, “We tried to capture the comments, sentiments, flavor of where we’re at with our business community. No one has objected to the process or the recommendations.” The recommendations rang clear, according to Driscoll, who encouraged that a second round of surveys could be sent to collect further data, focusing the snapshot further. They included training, marketing and promotion, and singled out a few red flag areas. In terms of training, local businesses would make significant use of hospitality training for their staff. Driscoll encouraged that municipalities “pony up and provide” this service, See RUSHFORD Page 3 Comment on this article at www.fillmorecountyjournal.com

Fillmore Central School Board approves staffing changes By Jade Sexton The new school year is off to a great start for Fillmore Central students, who started school early this year due to a project being done at the high school next summer. Principal Heath Olstad said everything is running smoothly. At their regular meeting on August 28, the school board approved several staffing changes for the new year. The resignation of Special Ed. teacher Julie Siebenaler was approved, as well as the hire of Barbara Cihak to take her place. They also accepted the resignation of Terisa Scrabeck as Title I
paraprofessional, and approved her hire for the 4/5 School Readiness teacher. The new Title I teacher, Laura Graves, was approved. Christina Bothun was hired as the ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) Parent Educator, and Connie Lindstrom was approved for the Response to Intervention teacher at .4 FTE. Tracy Ward was approved for a Special Ed. Paraprofessional position. Aubrey Johnson was approved for a paraprofessional position, and she will be doing special ed. billing and office work as well. Angie Haugerud was approved for a part-
time Community Ed. position. For sports, Ashley Case was approved for a 9th grade volleyball coach. Athletic Director Chris Mensink said there are now five coaches for the 57 girls in volleyball in grades 7-12. It was approved to allow additional assignments for two high school staff; Becky Mueller and Levi Olstad for additional math help for students, and Brady Grewe for adaptive Physical Education 45 minutes a week. A contract was approved for Melissa Simonson for a Mental Health Therapist for the Root River

RUSHFORD

taking a leap on organizing it. The idea of a Tri-City marketing strategy continues to be a concept that is also favorable to businesses. “I looked at US survey data and DEED payroll data and analyzed it, compared to Lanesboro. It showed that the Rushford area has a deep economic foundation, much more so than Lanesboro. Peterson and the Village also looked very strong. It’s a very positive message. We came through the recession well, came through the flood well. A three-city marketplace is dynamic and strong.” Driscoll went on to encourage further cooperative ventures and partnerships with the three cities and business working together as a united entity. “Geographical boundaries exist, but economic boundaries do not. Rushford may be at the center, but you need to recognize the economic strength of the others.” Three red flag issues emerged from the survey. The first of which is several “legacy businesses,” which are currently for sale in the area. “It’s clear that losing these businesses would greatly impact the snapshot,” cautioned Driscoll. “We need
to develop a plan to implement a successful sale, and hopeful replacement, of these businesses. We also need to provide incentives to ensure businesses hang around.” The water pressure on the north side of Rushford, which was recently documented by a water study, was also highlighted as a problem area. Driscoll suggested the city use the EDA to aid in finding a solution to the issue, which would certainly impact the number of businesses in that area, as well as providing improved fire flow capacity to existing businesses. Lastly, the concept of a business incubator was singled out by current area businesses participating in the survey. “Several businesses came out and said, ‘We are incubators for other businesses,’” noted Driscoll. “That’s worth looking into. Some said, ‘Why business incubators? We’re established and we need help. We need to mold the incubator idea so it doesn’t turn its back on existing businesses.’ “This has provided a clear picture of how this community’s economic heart beats,” concluded Driscoll. “We need to focus not only on retention, but on expansion and growth. It’s not a large leap. We need to get
Monday, September 3, 2012 beyond discussion to actions.” The BR&E report has already been presented to the Rushford Village council, the EDA, and the Rushford Area Chamber of Commerce. The report will be presented to Peterson in early September. Following the presentations a final report will be given to the business community. In other news, a replacement for long-time Rushford Chief of Police Sam Stensgard has been selected. Current Sargeant Adam Eide will fill the position, beginning September 1, following a subcommittee recommendation. The position is subject to a 30-day provisional period. “Thank you for the opportunity to continue to serve the community of Rushford,” said Eide. “The community was blessed to have Sam for 28 years.” Eide will begin working immediately with City Administrator Steve Sarvi on a work plan for the department, which will be presented to the council September 10. Some new initiatives are being considered, including bi-monthly or quarterly dialogue between the department and the council. With Stensgard’s retirement, the city now has only two full-

time officers, Eide and Cody Bellock. Since 1999 the city has relied on having the coverage of three full-time officers, along with part-time positions, and the labor management committee recommends the city seek a third full-time officer to fill the vacancy. “I strongly urge you to get the spot filled,” cautioned Eide. “There’s a constant flow of people coming out of law enforcement, but we’ve been pretty selective in the past. “Do we need all that coverage?” questioned Councilor Roger Colbenson. “Couldn’t we cut it back to 16 hours a of coverage a day? Couldn’t we use the sheriff’s office?” “It’s an insurance plan,” responded Eide. “We don’t like to pay for it, but the citizens deserve to have someone respond quickly. There’s going to be a time when someone is needed and we’re not going to want to wait for a part-time or on-call person to respond. The citizens of Rushford deserve better. We could use the sheffif ’s office, but thery’re already spread thin and they’ll only respond to emergencies.” “Remember, part-time positions have a lower rate of pay and you get a lot for their time,”
added City Clerk Kathy Zacher. “Or you have to call-in officers and pay overtime. With only two full-time, there’s going to be a lot of call-out time.” “Without third full-time person, a lot of time is taken up with follow-up and paperwork, not policing,” added Sarvi. “These people come, they have families, other jobs, they work their way up. That’s why I’m here,” noted Eide. “Realize that most of these people are taking a pay cut to work for me, or vacation time from their other jobs.” Both part-time officers Chris Frick and Wade Anderson are eligible for the full-time position. Councilor Vern Bunke thought it may be prudent to advertise for the position outside of current city employees, as is the current practice, drawing a larger pool of possible applicants to assure the city gets the best person possible. However, both the labor/management committee and Sarvi recommended posting the position within the city and the council voted unanimously to do so. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, September 10, at 6:30pm, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
NASCAR competitor is ‘driven’ to recognize military women In a male-dominated sport, Jennifer Jo Cobb, a driver with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, is doing something to show that women are just as capable as men. She is the creator of the promotional campaign “Driven2Honor,” which brings recognition to female U.S. military servicemembers. The Driven2Honor program, which Cobb created in 2011, has three goals: to honor women in the military; to inspire young
women that the military is a viable option for their future; and to empower female veterans postduty. Amid other nominees, Cobb chose Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer Rebecca Polzin of Preston to accompany her during the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race at the Michigan International Speedway, in Brooklyn, Mich., Aug. 18, 2012. Cobb decided to use her rac-
ing platform to bring attention to military-related causes concerning female soldiers and reward soldiers for their service by hosting them as guests at the track each week she competes in a NASCAR event. Polzin, officer-in-charge of Coast Guard Station Michigan City, Ind., was nominated for the event by Petty Officer 2nd Class Charlene Sander, a crewmember of the station. “I nominated Senior Chief Polzin because I feel that she is a great role model for women to look up to,” said Sander. “She inspires others to become great leaders and empowers them through various organizational initiatives.” “I did not know I was nominated until I received an email about two weeks prior to the race that I had been selected,” said Polzin. During the Driven2Honor, Polzin met Cobb, had lunch with her and her crew, attended the driver’s meeting and opening ceremony at the winner’s circle and watched the race from Cobb’s pit box with her crew chief. “It was an incredible experience, and it is great what she is doing for military women,” said Polzin.

C ommentary Gridlock, unhealthy for our economy By Karen Reisner Recent reports from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Pew Research Center are evidence that the era of gridlock in Congress has not been healthy for American personal pocketbooks or government financ- Karen Reisner es. When the United States entered World War II, Winston Churchill declared, “Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing. . .after they have exhausted all other possibilities.” Apply his thinking to our Congress and we have a very eloquent way of saying, our lawmakers “kick the can down the road” or avoid the inevitable until they are cornered and forced into making the hard decisions. Delay has only magnified the economic problems. The failure of our lawmakers to develop a long-term balanced plan that will both increase revenue and trim government programs including Medicare and defense is a threat to our economic future well being. Many believe a long-term plan that allows for measured changes so as to not damage the current slow economic recovery is a necessity. CBO On August 22 the CBO in its annual summer update maintained that if Congress does nothing and lets the scheduled tax policies, including the end of the Bush tax cuts and the payroll tax holiday, and spending policies, scheduled reducEditorial Cartoon
tions in domestic and defense spending, take effect at the beginning of 2013, tax revenue will go up and spending will go down and likely drive the country into recession. Resulting job loses could cause unemployment to rise over nine percent. This huge shift, anything but measured plan, would be a significant shock to the economy. The deal for the automatic spending cuts was signed into law a year ago, and there still is no one at the switch to keep the slow motion train from going over the cliff. There is a consensus among most lawmakers that they need to do something, but as usual, the polarization of Congress is getting in the way. The projected deficit for 2013 would be about $500 billion less than the $1.1 trillion projected for 2012 if Congress does nothing. If the above policies were continued for 10 years, the CBO estimates the country’s debt held by the public would be reduced from 73 percent of GDP in 2012 to 58 percent of GDP in 2022. However, if Congress moves to continue current policy, then deficits will be almost 90 percent of GDP by 2022. Current policy is not a viable option, nor is doing nothing, thereby letting the so-called fiscal cliff happen. Both parties have participated in the gridlock or the inaction that has put this slowly recovering economy at risk. With the upcoming elections lawmakers lack the courage to make the tough decisions. It is reasonable to believe that with the country nearly as polarized as Congress neither party is going to get a “mandate.” Not much will be different after the
elections except the next election will be two years off. If Congress would act before the election, the electorate would more truly know where serving congressional people stand on the issues. Bipartisan commissions have come up with reasonable and studied plans to deal with the ballooning deficits and the country’s growing debt, taking into account the long-term needs and future demands of entitlement programs, due to projected growth in numbers of elderly people in the coming years. Pew Research Center For the first time since World War II, during the decade from 2000 to 2010, the middle class is less prosperous than the previous decade. Pew refers to these years as “the lost decade.” It found a shrinking middle class with declining income and wealth. Twenty-five hundred and eight adults were surveyed, of which 1,287 identified themselves as middle class. Rich Morin, senior editor for the Pew Research Center, maintained that political scientists believe the key to a functioning democracy is a functioning middle class. Upper income households were ‘more’ prosperous in the ten-year period with 46 percent of total household income in 2010 compared to 29 percent of the total household income enjoyed by this group in 1971. The middle class percent of total household income fell from 62 percent in 1971 to 45 percent in 2010. Middle class net worth has dropped 28 percent over the last decade partly due to lost value in their homes. Middle class income has fell about $3,500 over the last decade. People put most of the blame
for the lost decade on Congress, 62 percent. They also blame financial institutions, larger corporations, and foreign competition to a lesser extent. More people put blame on the Bush administration (44 percent), than blame the Obama administration (34 percent). Only about eight percent place some of the blame on themselves. I agree Congress deserves most of the blame due to a general reluctance to work together to solve fiscal problems facing the country. The delay only puts more strains on the economy. Regardless of their distinctly different underlying political philosophies, the only reasonable solution is a blending of ideas and vision toward goals of fiscal growth while protecting the vulnerable. The country’s problems have grown in part due to the inability of members of Congress to put a balanced longrange fiscal plan into place. This will avoid across the board indiscriminate spending cuts, will deal with the large deficits, will reform the ridiculously complicated tax code, which is riddled with loopholes, and will make necessary reforms to Medicare and other entitlement programs to preserve them for

Congress has only a 12 percent approval rating; well deserved. Doing Our Part Both of these reports illustrate what needs to be addressed by Congress. Congress has exhausted all other possibilities, now it is time for them to do the right thing for the country. They have continued to pass legislation that doesn’t attempt to put any realistic fix into place, but only to keep the government limping along until the next deadline approaches. This is not sustainable and has a negative impact on the economy. It is our job to become educated on the issues and the candidates. Many political ads we are being subjected to provide misinformation and sometimes outright untruths. Allow yourself to get your information from a variety of media sources. Most of us tend to seek out information sources that conform to our point of view, but this limits our understanding of the issues. We need to do our homework to learn about the candidates and exercise our right to vote or we can’t complain about the lawmakers we get. Let’s hope Churchill is correct, that Americans and Congress can be counted on to do the right thing. To this point, surely, all other possibilities have been exhausted.

C ommentary Shouldn’t we all be Americans first? By Lee H. Hamilton I was first elected to Congress in 1964. That was the year Lyndon Johnson won a full term as president in a landslide. If ever a president had a popular mandate to pursue his goals, it was LBJ in the few years that followed that election. Yet one of my strongest memories of him is not of a president reveling in partisan supremacy, but of his cautionLee Hamilton ing against it. Johnson used to love meeting with freshman members of Congress, and after taking office we Democrats who’d been elected along with him had every expectation that he would allow us to bask at the expense of our Republican colleagues. He didn’t. “I’m an American first,” he told us. “And I’m a Democrat second.” It was a bracing affirmation of a quality essential to national leadership — a firm conviction that the good of the country comes first, even if it runs counter to the interests of one’s political party. I can’t help thinking of it today, in an era when deep, seemingly unbridgeable differences divide Democrats and Republicans, and when these divisions are being stoked by the current presidential campaign. It has been apparent almost since the beginning that our nation’s welfare rides on how Letter about sand mining To the Editor, Jim, thank you for your excellent letter to the editor about sand mining. You hit the nail right on the head. A group of people that their only intention is to kill the sand mining industry or any other project does no one any good. Also, I see that the L. S. P. (Land Stewardship Project) is opposing it. Their own agenda is always very narrow and political. Usually they want to zone their neighbors out of business. They to want property rights for themselves; but not their neighbors. We do need zoning regulations, but they need to be reasonable. Fillmore County needs every job possible. The county has about the lowest per capita income in S.E. Minnesota. We have employment issues and health care issues. Our work force leaves the county for work in nearby counties and there goes our young families. It is apparent in our schools and churches that the county’s young population is going downhill. Lets use our energy towards a positive point of view and everyone will be ahead. The journey is not going to be an easy one anyway. Merwood Storhoff Lanesboro, MN
well political leaders balance the needs of the country against their partisan goals. In 1796, preparing to step down from the presidency, George Washington devoted much of his Farewell Address to this question, and to the destructiveness of what he called “the fury of party spirit.” Surveying with alarm the regional discord and the growing hostility between Federalists and the Republicans that took hold in the final years of his second term, he set out to warn Americans that the very permanency of the Union depended on “a government for the whole.” Other national leaders understood the sentiment. Patrick Henry’s famous statement, “United we stand, divided we fall” was followed by these words: “Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs.” “We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists,” Thomas Jefferson said in his first inaugural address. Each of these leaders signaled a bedrock belief in the importance of working together to bridge differences and find common ground because the
nation’s welfare demanded it, regardless of the dictates of a party’s extremes. Now, I’m not urging that we be naive. We’re not going to abolish parties, and we shouldn’t. They help us organize our political choices, define and advocate issues, and make sense of elections. But if we’re not careful, they can be carried to such an extreme that they divide government, when what we need is unity of government. We need it in foreign affairs, where the more united we are as a nation, the stronger we are. And we need it in domestic policy, where excessive partisanship agitates the people and creates animosities among them. It leads to distrust within Congress, mistrust of Washington, weaker administration of government, and an inability to resolve the problems that press against our future. If you doubt any of this, just look around. It is extraordinarily difficult to create a government that works together for the common good. One reason most presidents end up talking about the unity of the country and of government is because they, more than most of

The great work of our democracy, as it has been for over 200 years, is learning how to reconcile the two. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Auditorium Gymnasium is “an ideal candidate for local designation under the City’s local preservation ordinance.” Vogel commented that all the legal requirements are in order. He said both buildings were built to last and saving the buildings can be a benefit in the future. The city can save by recycling the old buildings. Vogel suggested the buildings give a more interesting look to the city and would have been a $7 to $8 million investment in today’s dollars. He maintained local designation can open doors to more funding sources. Public Hearing Councilor Ken Jacobson asked if this designation would limit renovation in any way. Vogel explained it is called rehabilitation rather than restoration, by using as much of the old as possible while making it usable in the twenty-first century. Jacobson asked if modern materials can be used and Vogel

said they could be. Robert Thesenvitz noted he was a 30-year resident of the city and confirmed he had voted to save Potter Auditorium. He said his fear is that we open up the door, causing taxpayers to foot the bill as they did for the Thurber Building. He asked if the designation will open up tax obligation to the whole district instead of just the city. Later, City Clerk Joel Young confirmed it would not open up a larger tax base. Thesenvitz maintained that the auditorium was supposed to be self supporting. He complained that meetings have been held in the afternoon when working people can not attend, resulting in a lack of public input. He asked the council to seriously look at the benefit of this designation and inquired about the possibility of a listing on the National Historic Register. Young stated local designation is completely different than the national register. Vogel commented it would be redundant to have both. He
Taste of the Trail in Peterson By Kirsten Zoellner Beginning Saturday, September 8, eight communities along the Root River State Trail will begin hosting the first ever Taste of the Trail over a three-weekend period. Peterson, one of three communities hosting the first Saturday, is gearing up for the event, holding nothing back. According to organizer Gayle Boyum, Peterson is combining the Taste of the Trail with their theme for last year’s fall festival of Farm Life and Wildlife Along the Root River Trail. “Peterson will offer a fascinating view of the farm life and wildlife in our region with live country western music, by Highway 30, as your background. There will be farm animals and wildlife, you can tour the Peterson Station Museum, or take a ride in an authentic Amish buggy. And if you’re hungry, we’ll have food, refreshments, and a farmer’s market.” Again this year, visitors will
sample get a free sample of local flavors and beginning at 10am and running through 3pm. Along the trail, delectable tastes will be provided by local favorites Geneva’s Ice Cream Shoppe and Judy’s Country Kitchen. New this year, Whitlock Apiaries will be offering up samples of raw honey and honey comb. To wet your whistle, Chiggy’s Liquor will be hosting a wine and fall beer tasting on their deck, along with samples of lefse. Next to the newly refurbished bandstand, the Fillmore County Cattlemen will be serving their always popular hamburger, along with chips, pop, and pies from Judy’s, beginning at 11am and until they’re gone. Outside of the Peterson Legion, Chad Rich of award-winning Biggen’s BBQ and Peterson mayor Jennifer Wood will be offering delicious, smoked pork sandwiches from 1:30pm through 7pm
The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County current proposal has a 5.264 percent increase. Jacobson noted that this figure is the high end, it can be lowered. Mayor Don Hainlen suggested it is better to have a modest increase, rather than have a much higher increase in subsequent years to catch up. Other Business In Brief •A bid from All Weather Roofing for maintenance of the fire house roof was approved for a total not to exceed $10,369 as recommended by the Public Works Committee. The repair is expected to extend the life of the roofs by several years. •Approval was given for the proposal from Infratech, out of Rogers, for the sewer maintenance program, as recommended by the Public Works Committee. It is a five-year maintenance contract. •Tony Lammers explained there are problems at the booster station with the controls, as the valves in the water tower are a problem. Approval was given to have the problem valves removed at a cost of $6,800.
said he didn’t think there would be enough benefit for the cost. Councilor Josh Thompson asked if the designation will open doors for more funding. Vogel said the honorary status on the buildings attract interest and investment, adding the designation will be a very positive development. Jacobson worried that buildings under this designation will have a higher cost for renovation due to requirements to follow certain regulations. He insisted he didn’t want to be put into that box. Thompson was concerned they could be forced to do something they are not prepared for. Vogel said you can only do what you can when you can. The council approved a motion to direct the city attorney to draft an ordinance as the code requires to designate the Center for the Arts property as a Chatfield Heritage Landmark. Jacobson voted against. Preliminary Budget/Levy Young noted that the prelimi-
nary numbers are a result of budget numbers from department heads. The budget includes a three percent increase in the general pay grid, step increases, and a 10 percent increase in health insurance premiums. In written information relating to the budget, it was noted that the EDA has as one of its priorities the redevelopment of the Twiford Street area (area bounded by Twiford Street, Division Street, Main Street, and Grove Street). The EDA has requested a yearly additional allocation of $20,000 to provide funds to assemble the property to re-develop this area. There is no increase for 2013 to the subsidy provided for the Center for the Arts. The refunding of 2008 bonds results in a decrease in debt service payments in the amount of $17,000 per year. Young noted that there will be some need to address water and sewer rates. The council will not vote on the preliminary levy until the September 10 meeting. The

Chihuahua
Andry has the appearance of an older dog because of the white around his face, but that’s just his good look. Andry is a character. He was pulled by our rescue from a shelter in Texas 45 minutes before his scheduled euthanasia. Andry walks great on a leash and he begs for treats which is adorable. He loves to be carried around and is tolerant, up to a point, with the 10 month old baby in the house. He just loves to give the baby kisses, however. he does like to play rough so a home without small kids would be best.

Fillmore County Sports 2012 Football Preview By Paul Trende Graduation can be hard on high school football teams, just ask Fillmore Central, Kingsland, and Mabel-Canton. But so goes the prep football process. Five of the six county teams will have new starting quarterbacks in 2012. Four will have new starting running backs. Uncertainty will reign supreme in those towns, at least for a few weeks. One town, however, is exempt from all that. The Chatfield Gophers, from a skill-position perspective, won’t look a whole lot different than they did in 2011 (when they finished 6-4, downed by ZumbrotaMazeppa in the second round of the play-offs). Nate Skare (6’2” 180-pound junior) returns at quarterback. Jake Neis (5’9” 160pound junior), who authored a pair of 250-yard rushing games in 2011, and Justin Viss (6’2” 210-pound senior), who also spearheaded the Gopher defense from his middle linebacker spot, also return. They form a splendid inside-outside running back tandem. Throw in juniors Alex Haffner and Jayme LaPlante (a particularly intriguing linemanto-tight end conversion who did double duty during track season, threw discus and ran sprints); the Gophers have some key pieces to the puzzle. Jeff Johnson’s boys aren’t without their flaws and obstacles though. They are very sophomore (20) and junior heavy (10), with just five seniors. They also play in the same conference/ section as Caledonia, the school that?s won 4 of 5 Class AA state football titles. It might take another year for all the pieces to really come together. In a word, Fillmore Central head coach Chris Mensink called his team “inexperienced.” Last year’s Falcons were senior-laden (all 18
spaper o pare 2x2 etwork unning e main f your
of them) and successful because of it (began 6-0, earned a state ranking). A game against eventual AA state champ Caledonia and an injury (to tailback Tyler Eickhoff) later; things ended less positively than they began (7-3, downed by Southland in the second round of the play-offs). There aren’t too many holdover on-field contributors from that fine squad. Seniors Dan Gatzke (6’2” 195), Jake Ristau (5’9” 180), Andy Coyle (5’10” 180), and Marcus Tucker (5’7” 145) are familiar names. All played their parts in 2011’s defensive effort. On the offensive side of things, Mensink has the task of trying to replace 36 graduated TD’s (of the 40 the Falcons scored as a team). Tucker’s 265 all-purpose yards and 3 TD’s is the best returning performer. A replacement for Andy Todd at quarterback is also needed. It’s likely junior McKinnen Stone (the only returning player to complete a pass last season, literally, he was 1-4), or senior Brandon Breitsprecher. The Falcons will have a bit of added inspiration in 2012 though. Suiting up with them will be Mitch Ristau. The senior returns to the football field nearly four years after losing his lower leg in a farm accident. He’ll compete while wearing a prosthetic. In Rushford, the Trojans will look to improve upon a rough 2011 campaign (2-7, downed by Fillmore Central in the 1st round of the play-offs). It was running back by committee: in nine games the Trojans had six different players lead the team in rushing. Five, Zach Boehmke (5’9” 170 Sr.), Steve Adcock (5’9” 170 Sr.), Alex Vix (5’9” 155 So.), Tyler McLellan (6’0” 170 Jr), and Casey McLellan (5’8” 170 Sr), return. None rushed for over 200 yards on the
season though. Defense could be a strength this year, as the Trojans return their top seven tacklers from 2011. They have some experience on their side. After three days of practice, head coach Davin Thompson was pleased with the leadership his seniors had thus far showed. He spoke positively of the athleticism of his sophomore class. He was coy with any more particulars (including his starting QB). One thing is for certain though; Rushford-Peterson is a well-known school for both its (boys) basketball and football. The Trojans are three-plus years removed from 2008’s Section 1A football championship. Coach Thompson is certainly looking to return his alma mater to that level of preeminence. In Spring Valley, the Knights went 3 and 6 last season. They lost to Goodhue in the first round of the play-offs 48-22. Like Fillmore Central, they graduated more than their fair share of seniors (15), particularly those at the “skill” positions (QB Tanner Lange, RB’s Sam Eberle, Jerad Miner, and Jesse Crowson, TE Devon Pokorney). Head Coach John Fenske won’t have much for returning key contributors. Senior Marshall Oeltjen (6’0” 210) is one of the few players to see extensive action last season (to see the end zone). Jacob Rindels (5’8” 150 sophomore), Lenny Moore (5’9” 150 junior), and Jordan Meskill (5’9” 160 junior) are three other guys who’ll likely have the ball placed in their hands. Rindels is the only quarterback listed on the Minnesota State High School League Kingsland football page. With just 27 kids out, 9-12, the Knights aren’t heavy on numbers by any regard. They have only six seniors and five juniors. In football, where numbers and age matter, not having much for either might make for a long season for Knight fans. At the very least, 2012 will be a building/learning process for the younger kids. In 9-man action, Lanesboro finished last season 6-4, ending on a very ugly note (downed 62-6 by Section 1 9-man champ Spring Grove). Head coach James Semmen has three returning starters on each side of the ball, seven returning seniors, and 15 returning letter-winners. Junior tailback Niko Anderson is the prized jewel in Burro-land. The 5’9” 180-pounder tallied almost 1,400 total yards (1,281 rushing) last season and 21 total TD’s. He enters his third year of varsity competition, having played on the biggest of all stages (the Prep Bowl) as a freshman. Junior Garret Boggs (5’10” 155) is set to take over at the quarterbacking spot, full time. He called signals for Lanesboro’s first two games in 2011. Gabe Decker (5’7” 140) and Daulton Gartner (6’0” 160) will also be factors offensively. Gartner and Anderson were the Burros top two tacklers in 2011. Lanesboro isn’t as big, size-

wise, as they’ve been in recent years. Only two players off last year’s roster tip the scales above 200 pounds. They aren’t, as their coach said, completely “battletested.” Nonetheless, Anderson is a difference-maker, a threat toscore anytime he touches the ball. That alone will most certainly give orange and black fans something to cheer about. The Mabel-Canton Cougars (6-4 last season, downed by Grand Meadow in the second round of the play-offs) will begin the year in the tough position. They have just one returning senior (OL Logan Henry) off last year’s squad. Gone are 2011 leaders Jacoby Bigalk, Gabe Lind, Jesse Amdahl, Adam Fravel, and Steve Smith. The longest tenured head football coach in the county, Karl Urbaniak, will thus have to rely on juniors and underclassmen. A trio of players most likely to make a splash, a trio with the most experience, is Noah Manning (257 rushing yards, 116 receiving yards and 2 TD’s in 2011), Hunter Johnson (179 rushing yards and 3 TD’s in 2011), and Justin Ward (6 receptions, 91 yards in 2011). All are juniors. The only returning player to have thrown a pass (literally, he was 1-1 in 2011) is Collin O’Bieglo, another junior, who looks to be the Cougar starting signal caller in 2012. With 8 juniors and 7 freshmen, on a 20 man-team, M-C is certainly young and short-handed. In fact, there has been talk about M-C sharing football sometime in the future, but not this year. Wily Coach Urbaniak will have to call on all his years of coaching and make the best of the numbers he’s got. Volleyball Openers Falcons Ace Burros A host of area volleyball faces descended upon Lanesboro for the 2012 volleyball opener. RushfordPeterson players, Mabel-Canton players, R-P’s coach, Houston’s coach, local sports stat guru Bill Bentson, KFIL/KVGO radio play-by-play-man Devon Krueger, a KTTC camera-man (to name a
few), and, of course, the host Burros and visiting Fillmore Central Falcons. All watching were treated to a one-sided affair. The Falcons, coming off a successful 24-7 2011 campaign, returning nearly everyone, were decisive in their work. Head coach Denise Case didn’t show the entire Fillmore Central volleyball hand, but the Falcons laid out a bunch of aces nonetheless. FC served up 19 points the easy way. Sophomore setter Morgan Malley chalked up nine (18-19 serving, 13 assists), junior Taylor Case five (17-18 serving), and senior Chelsea Rislove four. Those quick points made the contest an struggle-less victory for the Falcons, 25-6, 25-10, and 25-11. Victoria Peterson led everyone with 6 kills. Madison Ming led the Burros with four. Gophers Get Early Work There is nothing like game action to hone the sports senses. Practice just cannot do for a team what real competition can. Gopher volleyball coach Troy Swancutt is probably happy about his team’s 2012 opener versus Medford. His girls got work and they got a victory. The Gophers prevailed 3-1, but it took 27-25 and 26-24 efforts in sets one and three to seal 2/3 of the verdict. Medford took set #2 (25-22). Chatfield won going away in the final game 25-12. Fatigue, brought on by warm temps, might have played a part. The Gophers used all 12 girls on their roster. The Tigers only used eight. Senior MaKenzie Miller was the Gopher’s leader in kills (7) and blocks (4), interesting given she wasn’t out for volleyball in 2011. Six other Gophers notched three or more kills. Gabrielle Salisbury (18) and Kileigh Dudek (12) shared the assists. Salisbury had four of the Goph’s 14 aces. But Medford freshman Madison Strodtman was the night’s standout player. The 5’9” freshmen led everyone with 12 kills and 6 ace blocks (plus 5 assists). Tiger senior Nicole Morgan side-kicked her with 6 kills, 22 assists, and 5 aces.

socialscenes Food For Life By Jade Sexton
The joy of cooking It wasn’t until my daughter was a baby and developed multiple food allergies that I really started exploring the art of cooking. I had to religiously read food labels, and was surprised at what I found. I found it easiest and best to make her food myself. I had to take something with us for her to eat whenever we went out, and she could rarely eat what others were eating. Most of the time, I made one meal for Grace and I to eat, and another for the rest of the family. For years, we ate
everything together, usually off the same plate, usually with her on my lap. Sometimes I miss those days. As she has grown older, Grace has outgrown all of her allergies except peanuts, and she has also developed a love of cooking. Since a very young age, she has loved to help me do any cooking or baking. If I do it without her, she gets very upset. She is only six now, but
Quinoa and Black Beans
1 tsp. vegetable oil 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced ¾ cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed 1 ½ cups vegetable broth 1-2 tsp curry powder Salt and pepper to taste 1 cup frozen corn kernels 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed ½ cup fresh cilantro (optional) Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and sauté until lightly browned. Mix quinoa into the saucepan and cover with vegetable broth. Season with curry powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Stir frozen corn into the saucepan, and continue to simmer about 5 minutes until heated through. Mix in the black beans and cilantro.
Maxine Winslow 99th Birthday
she recently made a batch of cupcakes from a box mix. Last night she made Hamburger Helper, with my supervision of course, while standing on a chair in front of the stove. I frequently hear the words, “I’ll do it!” come from her mouth. She asks me what she should do and I help her, but she is very independent. For me, cooking has become a relaxing and enjoyable pastime instead of a chore. It’s true that I don’t always have time to make a decent meal, but I appreciate it when I do. I also love cooking for other people, so I love it when I have a friend over and I can make them something they may have never had before. I know I have mentioned quinoa before, but I really love it. It is delicious, and easy to cook, as well as packed full of protein and other nutrients. It is becoming a very popular alternative to other grains. I have made this recipe before many, many times, and it is always delicious. I made it for a friend of mine once, and she loved it, too. It is a great way to try quinoa for the first time, and a great, easy one-dish meal to make on a busy evening. It’s simple, but so full of flavor you will never forget. I also have a thing for filling the house with the aroma of curry simmering on the stove. By the way, it goes perfectly with steamed broccoli. This is my version of the recipe.

County residents stage protest By Karen Reisner Before the Sand Committee meeting convened on August 27, a group of Fillmore County residents protested in front of the courthouse. The protesters would like to see a banning of industrial or frac sand mines. At the very least they are seeking more study and research before the county lifts the moratorium which was put into place on February 28. It seems likely that it will be at least 2013 before the process to amend the county’s ordinance will be complete. The Planning
Commission will need to review the committee’s recommendations when they are completed and hold a public hearing. The county board will then need to approve any changes in the ordinance before the moratorium will be lifted. Protesters were concerned about the effects of industrial mining on water quality and quantity, air quality, road use, safety due to increased truck traffic, and a general degradation of the county’s scenic beauty. One sign read, “I love Fillmore County just the way it is.”

A woman spoke of the group’s love of the county they live in. She was concerned that so much is yet not known about potential damage to the environment, insisting accurate information is necessary. As a group they felt they were trying to look out for the interests of all of Fillmore County. Bonita Underbakke explained she was a shy person and it wasn’t easy for her to protest, but she felt she had to “stand up” for a sustainable future. She said they are not protesting against the traditional mining industry within the county. She didn’t see how industrial mining could be just a little bit. Underbakke was in favor of a separation in the ordinances between construction aggregate mining, which the county has had for a very long time, and industrial sand mining. This separation is being pursued by the committee. Underbakke insisted what Fillmore County has now is not compatible with industrial sand mining. Underbakke felt there hasn’t been adequate time for research on potential damaging effects from the ballooning industry. There has been considerable concern at committee meetings from residents about the compatibility of the county’s tourist industry and industrial sand mines. Underbakke felt any proposal should be compatible with the county’s Comprehensive Plan.
The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County Another woman wanting to be identified only as a Fillmore County resident related that she was put off about the use of the mining term “overburden.” She felt that the landscape she loved was not just overburden to be removed and scraped off to get to the sand. She said she takes great pride in where she lives, surrounded by the limestone bluffs and rolling hills. During the time spent talking to the protesters, a few people passing by thanked the protesters for their time and effort. Residents in the area that oppose the mining of “frac” sand and fear there is a possibility of large industrial mines have been speaking out more of late. On August 17 a documentary film, “The Price of Sand” was viewed in Lanesboro. It dealt with what
the film maker perceived as possible costs to communities due to industrial sand mining. One of the greatest concerns of those wary of the sand industry is the potential to have a concentrated cluster of mines. Those in the tourist industry are threatened by the possible negative effect on their businesses. They question whether property values will be impacted. In the Lanesboro Area Chamber of Commerce mission statement dated July 18, it is stated that “activities impact each other, sharing limited resources requires balance and limits to meet the needs of our diverse community and maintain our high quality of life.” It further states that “frac” sand on a large scale may adversely impact the quality of life in the county and the city.

Monday, September 3, 2012 other nasty substances that you would rather not have in and around your home. The items accepted are, in fact, hazardous and should not be included in your landfill garbage. As usual, there will be a notice in your local newspapers again reminding you of the date and what will be accepted. However, you may want to start rounding up some items a bit early, so you have them collected well in advance. If you have neighbors that are unable to attend this event, you can certainly bring their items, as well. Please keep in mind this is Household Hazardous Waste and agricultural chemicals, explosives, medical waste, business waste, radioactive waste, and empty cans are items that are not accepted during this collection. We will also be collecting lead this fall, mostly in the form of fishing tackle and wheel weights. Lead is the cause of death for many of our birds, including the Bald Eagle, each year. If they eat meat containing lead, it enters their blood stream and damages the brain. There are alternative sinkers and other tackle available to take the place of lead. Due to the gun powder in bullets, we cannot accept ammunition at this time. There are thousands of button batteries used by Fillmore County residents each year, but most of them are finding their way into the landfill. Button batteries, like the kind used in hearing aids, even though quite small, contain some not-so-nice elements that may sooner or later, find their way into our drinking water. A set of hearing aids will use up to a hundred batteries each year which will account for a sizable amount of poison. Burning batteries, also not advised, can explode and cause serious injury. Burning batteries sends poisons into the air to fall back to earth as different forms of precipitation. These poisons are polluting our lakes, streams, fields and forests and sooner or later find their way into humans by way of the food chain. The same is true for rechargeable batteries that contain cadmium, lithium, lead, and several other elements you don’t really need accumulating in your body. Mr. Grooters from the Fillmore Soil and Water Conservation District has informed me that their Annual Field Day for Fillmore County sixth grade students has been scheduled for September 19 at Forestville State Park.

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 household each week.
County awarded grant for AEDs By Karen Reisner Kristina Kohn, Human Resources, announced at the board’s August 28 meeting that the county was awarded a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration to supply AEDs throughout the county. The grant program’s purpose is to provide access to emergency devices in rural areas. Funds for the Automated External Defibrillators (AED) will come in three phases over three years. The three year total grant is for $179,618 and will include training for use of the devices. No matching funds are required. During the first year AEDs will be put into each of the county law enforcement vehicles. In the second year AEDs will be supplied for all local city and county buildings. In the third year devices will be supplied for swimming pools, libraries, and
the main entrance to the bicycle trail at Preston. Cities will take over responsibility for the AEDs that are supplied to them. Kohn said the devices are for those critical few minutes when there is a heart event. Chairman Tom Kaase remarked that lives will be saved. Budget/Levy Before the county board meeting started this day, the proposed preliminary levy increase was at 12.29 percent. Board members continued the arduous process to trim more from the budgets of Social Services, Public Health, Veteran Services, Highway, Airport, Extension, and the eleven other areas reviewed by the county coordinator. At the end of the day, the board managed to bring the numbers down to the neighborhood of a 10 percent increase. The county is to receive about $160,000 less in County Pro-

gram Aid from the state than in 2012. In addition, this will be the first year that there will be no funding from the former Market Value Credit program. At this point the county has been estimating a 15 percent increase in health insurance costs for employees. The county’s obligation to the Dodge-Fillmore-Olmsted Joint Powers Board for Corrections represents a three percent increase to the levy from 2012. A new formula is being used for 2013 and 2014 which requires Fillmore County to pay 8.53 percent of net expenditures. The total estimated obligation for 2013 is $367,842 which is a 104 percent increase over 2012 ($179,971). Social Services Manager Gail Bunge said they are going to take in revenue where possible.

Commissioner Randy Dahl remarked that there has been a dramatic increase in case loads and reductions in aid.

605 drunk driving arrests to-date during statewide campaign ST. PAUL — Minnesota law enforcement officers have arrested 605 drunk drivers two weekends into a statewide DWI enforcement campaign, according to Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety preliminary reports. The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign runs through Labor Day. State officials are urging Minnesotans to plan ahead for a sober ride to avoid the dangers and harsh consequences of a DWI. A similar DWI crackdown to close out summer in 2011 resulted in 1,787 DWI arrests. “There is no excuse for drunk driving, but far too often people find an excuse and find themselves in serious trouble,” says Lt. Eric Roeske of the State Patrol. “Close out the end to summer safely by having a safe and sober ride arranged in advance of celebrating.” Minnesota Drunk Driving Facts During the past five years, 2007– 2011, 651 people were killed in Minnesota drunk driving crashes, accounting for one-third of the state’s 2,165 total road deaths: 2011 — 111; 2010 — 121; 2009 — 112; 2008 — 137; 2007 — 170. Officials say the 34 percent reduction in drunk driving deaths from five years ago points to motorist making smart plans for a sober ride and the
effectiveness of enhanced enforcement and education campaigns. In 2011, 29,257 motorists were arrested for DWI, the average alcohol-concentration of an offender was 0.16. One in seven Minnesota drivers have a DWI on record. Consequences of a DWI A DWI offense can result in loss of license for up to a year, thousands in costs and possible jail time. Repeat DWI offenders, as well as first-time offenders arrested at 0.16 and above alcohol-concentration level, must use ignition interlock in order to regain legal driving privileges, or face at least one year without a driver’s license. Offenders with three or more offenses are required to use interlock for three to six years, or they will never regain driving privileges. Each year in Minnesota, 40 percent of the alcohol-related traffic deaths involve repeat offenders. Tips to Prevent Drunk Driving •Plan for a safe ride — designate a sober driver, use a cab/public transportation, or stay at the location of the celebration. Let family/ friends know you are available to offer a safe ride home. •Buckle up and wear protective motorcycle gear — the best defenses against a drunk driver. •Report drunk driving — call 911 when witnessing impaired
driving behavior. Be prepared to provide location, license plate number and observed dangerous behavior. About the Office of Traffic Safety The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) designs, implements, and coordinates federally funded traffic safety enforcement and education programs to improve driver behaviors and reduce the deaths and serious injuries that occur on Minnesota roads. OTS also administers state funds for motorcycle safety programs and child seats for needy families. OTS is an anchoring partner of the state’s Toward Zero Deaths traffic safety initiative. A primary vision of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes — education, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response. Office of Traffic Safety Highlights •23,285 speeders were ticketed during a July statewide speed campaign. •OTS issued the 2011 Minnesota Motor Vehicle Crash Facts report, citing 368 traffic deaths for the
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
year, the lowest since 1944 and a 44 percent reduction in deaths from a decade ago. •OTS recognized the state’s DWI Enforcer All-Stars at Target Field June 25. The leading DWI enforcer is Minnesota State Patrol Trooper Mark Hibbard with 241 DWI arrests in 2011. •July 1 marked one year of the state’s ignition interlock DWI sanc-
Page 23
tion. More than 4,000 DWI offenders are using ignition interlock to benefit road safety and ensure legal, sober driving. •Media are encouraged to download and broadcast or place OTS public service announcements to advance road safety. •Media are encouraged to localize traffic safety news by referencing county-specific crash facts.

Livestock gross margin- dairy insurance By Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educator for Fillmore/Houston Counties Many dairy operators are expressing concern today about milk and feed prices and how they will plan ahead to maintain and strengthen their business Jerrold Tesmer positions. A common recom-
mendation in risk management states that not only should one be protecting some milk price, but also protect some feed costs as well. The USDA Risk Management Agency has been funded to open the Livestock Gross MarginDairy (LGM-D) insurance policy again after October 1, and it has from $20 -30 million more than last year with which it can operate, so hopefully it will be available for a longer time than last year.

the opportunity to protect both sides of the equation (milk and feed) with one insurance policy and in a fairly simple manner. Unfortunately, many producers don’t fully understand the insurance, or are unfamiliar with how to purchase it if they do want it. University of Minnesota Extension and the Farm Business Management advisors in southeast Minnesota are hosting a webinar with Dr Brian Gould, University of Wisconsin, who has done extensive work preparing tools and educational materials to help people understand LGM. The webinar will be Friday, September 14. It can be viewed individually at home or in your office, but much is often gained by interactive discussion with others so we will be hosting viewing sites and discussions at the Bank of Zumbrota, in Zumbrota and First National Bank, Plainview, for each the session. Webinars start at 10:30 am. There is no cost to participate in these programs.

The committee has been meeting at least once monthly since their first meeting in February a couple of weeks before the moratorium on Excavation of Materials and Minerals was put into place on February 28. Some new faces were in the crowded board room. Many attending would like to see “industrial” sand mining banned in Fillmore County. Economic Effect of Industrial Sand Zoning Administrator Chris Graves explained he had not been able to find much information on what economic impact industrial sand mining would have on the county. Bill Swan-
son, Lanesboro, suggested they start by interviewing business owners as to the impact they expect it could have on them. Julie Kiehne, Executive Director of the Lanesboro Area Chamber of Commerce, offered some facts saying the tourism industry in the county brought in $18.7 million in gross sales (Mn Dept. of Revenue) in 2010. Also, tourism generated $1.3 million in sales taxes. Kiehne maintained there certainly would be consequences with the coexistence of frac sand and tourism. Donna Buckbee, Rushford, noted that the scenic highway designation of Hwy 16 has resulted in 500 jobs and $39 million (2008). Committee member David Williams remarked about the adverse impact that has occurred in the Chippewa Falls and Lake

Monday, September 3, 2012 Pepin areas. Committee member Duane Bakke said the model in Arcadia,Trempealeau County, is more relevant. He added that the figures provided for tourism sales don’t differentiate between sales to tourists and sales to local residents. Bill Swanson insisted Fillmore County is completely different than Arcadia, adding Lanesboro has thriving businesses. Frank Wright, Lanesboro, reported that there will be a meeting on October 2 at the Earle Brown Heritage Center in Brooklyn Park to discuss the local and regional impact of silica sand mines. There will be information on the assets mining brings along with the adverse effects of concentrated mining activity. Committee member Brad Erickson suggested using Rushford as a baseline as they have experienced truck traffic. Bakke suggested they get traffic counts for all locations. Swanson opined that Rushford can’t be compared with Lanesboro as the truck traffic doesn’t come right through the downtown. Harvey Benson, Harmony, remarked that he was 80 years old with no kids, but believed you should leave things as good or better than you found them. He said it is in everyone’s interest to preserve water for the future, which will only grow in value. Benson suggested rather than look at cost, it is more important to look at value. Chad Nolte, Chatfield, maintained that with all the setback requirements there are not going to be that many mining sites. Graves added setbacks for shoreland, homes, and so on will limit sites. Nolte noted that there are plans for a slurry pipe system (hydraulic pump) from the Pilot Mound site to a proposed rail site near St. Charles. He added there would be no trucks through Lanesboro. Jeff Lepper, Lanesboro, insisted no one knows what will happen and was in favor of a complete prohibition of industrial sand mining. Swanson insisted the pipeline was just an idea, not a plan, adding our idea and dream is a complete prohibition in Fillmore County. Charles Ruen, Lanesboro, commented that the county is fortunate to have sand and limestone which have been used to build roads all these years. He suggested some are just trying to New crop of apples! Gala McIntosh, Honey Crisp, and Wealthy.

frighten people. Ruen said some people subscribe to, “What is mine is mine and what is yours is mine too.” Williams remarked that the Land Use Plan refers to Ag, recreational, and natural habitats. There is no mention of mining. He added we value our aggregate resources, but are targeting silica sand. Renee Bergstrom noted she had been a pulmonary function technologist and was concerned about the potential cost of silicosis. She was told that it had already been discussed and they were discussing the economic effects. Retired Dr. David Webb, Lanesboro, insisted it was unrealistic to separate health costs from economic costs. He proposed that mine operators be responsible for silica surveillance. Bakke said workers get tested every year at the site north of Chatfield, along with tests at the property line of the mining site. He added trucks will be covered. Tara Wetzel, Environmental Manager for Mathy Construction, repeated information about the ongoing monitoring being done in Wisconsin. The regula-
Page 25
tory body is the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). A study has been started recently which will go on for a year. The data will be presented to the Wisconsin DNR. She noted there is silica dust in the air from other sources. Karen Swanson suggested the moratorium be lengthened. Committee member Tom Kaase said their focus was on gathering information and the moratorium will be as long as it needs to be. A Separation Between Industrial Sand and Construction Aggregate David Williams explained that the committee didn’t want the more heavily regulated industry of industrial sand to effect the smaller aggregate sites that provide sand, gravel, or crushed stone for construction purposes, ag lime, and livestock bedding. He suggested it will be easy to separate the two. There is a difference in scale between aggregate and industrial sand mining. There was some discussion on what to do if an operation permitted for construction aggregate morphed into industrial sand. See SAND Page 26

Graves stated that if the focus changed, the operator would have to obtain an industrial sand permit. Ron Garrison, a geologist from Milestone Materials, suggested there would not likely be many instances where there would be a conversion from aggregate to industrial sand. He added, “If I was looking for ‘frac’ sand, I wouldn’t look in Fillmore County.” He went on to explain that Fillmore County has mostly St. Peter Sandstone which is too fine (except for extracting gas). This finer sand will not be in great demand unless the market for natural gas comes back. Williams said the more regulated industrial sand will require
Monday, September 3, 2012
road maintenance agreements and more of a reclamation plan. Donna Buckbee complimented the committee on their open format allowing for citizen input. She asked why the county just doesn’t make ‘frac sand’ a prohibited use, if there isn’t good sand in the county. Graves said there is one mine that has been operating since 2008. Chad Nolte insisted if the natural gas market comes back, there will be a demand for the St. Peter Sandstone. Garrison agreed. Nolte complained that he was hearing a one sided discussion which wasn’t considering the value of the sand to farmers. Flocculants MnDot specifications for flocculants were made available. Bakke noted the county would not likely be less restrictive than
The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County
MnDot, which states “All flocculants need to be environmentally benign, biodegradable and consist of natural origin biopolymers.” Bakke said they are trying to get more information from MPCA. Williams acknowledged that earlier drafts of the ordinance outright prohibited flocculants. Wetzel said flocculants have a place in some applications. Garrison explained that with flocculants, less water is used, having a smaller pond area while more efficiently removing clay particles. Williams asked if the use of flocculants should be on a permitted basis. Wetzel suggested they defer to someone at the state level and look at use on a case by case basis. Bakke noted there would be a permit to use
from the MPCA. Dale Forrester, Lanesboro, asked who is going to monitor their use. Paul Leduc asked why not prohibit washing. Bakke explained that sorting at the site will require less road use. The material left after sorting can be used for reclamation. Leduc insisted the effect on the water supply is the bigger unknown. Frank Wright suggested flocculant use needs to be approved in the CUP process. The volume of water use would have to be weighed against the use of a flocculant. Rita Leduc maintained we are in a karst area. She asked what would be the harm to be more restrictive and if the technology improves the question can be revisited. Wetzel said she was cautious
about approving all chemicals, adding that polyacrylamide is regulated by the EPA. She added she was concerned about the concentration of the material, but their testing results have not shown an accumulation. Leduc stated the United States EPA set allowable acrylamide levels in drinking water at zero. Next Meeting The next meeting will be September 18. Road impact issues will be discussed including Winona County’s language in their road impact agreement. Bakke said an application process needs to be developed and approved. After this meeting, the next part of the process will be before the Planning Commission and finally to the county board which could take at least three to four more months.
