Glenn Hisey retires Love of steel guitar provides 65-year career for Barb Mosher bowhunting’s legacy

continues in museum

A person never retires from the activities which are a part of his life. Yet after thirty-five years of leadership roles within the Pope and Young Club, Glenn Hisey has changed the direction of his involvement with the museum he was instrumental in bringing to Chatfield in 2004.

It is impossible in writing about Hisey’s retirement to separate him from the Pope and Young Club, which began in 1961.

“Bowhunting involves so much more than most people imagine. The Club really began when Fred Bear acquired and donated an Art Young bow, ‘old

grizzly’. That bow, along with several items belonging to Saxton Pope, Art Young, and other Pioneer Bowhunters, were placed in a 20 x 12 foot museum in the business of Glenn St. Charles,” states Hisey.

Founder and first Pope and Young president, Glenn St. Charles and his son, Joe, put together a private collection of bowhunting memorabilia. “In 1997, the Pope and Young Club purchased half of the collection and the St. Charles Family donated the other half to the Club. The collection continued to grow and be housed in Seattle, Wash., until 2003, when the collection needed to be moved See HISEY Page 16 

well before taking the bus back home. When she graduated high school, she moved to Austin and took a full-time job at the music studio.

One day, a man came into the studio, signed over his Hormel paycheck and told her to buy as many guitars as his check would cover and send them to a ranch for troubled boys. His name was Roy Lily and it wasn’t long before he asked Barb to join his band.

The first time Barb Mosher saw a steel guitar when she was a little girl, she was hooked.

She was visiting the new chick hatchery in Spring Valley and a musician was there playing his steel guitar. She sat down in the front row and didn’t move until he was done playing, not even getting up to get lunch because she was afraid that someone would take her spot.

After he was finished playing, Barb asked him if he’d teach her how to play. He told her that if she could find five other kids to sign up for lessons, he would come to Spring Valley once a week and teach them all. Barb wasn’t about to miss her chance, so she talked five of her friends into taking lessons with her. However, steel guitar is a difficult instrument to learn and one by one, they all dropped out, which meant that the lessons were no longer available for Barb, either.

Barb halfheartedly took piano lessons from her mother, but her heart was still set on steel guitar. When she was a junior in high school, she got a job as a nurse’s aide at the hospital in Austin, Minn., because she knew she could take steel guitar lessons at a music studio in Austin.

Within a short time, the owner of the studio asked Barb to start teaching steel guitar.

On Fridays after school, she would take the bus from Spring Valley to Austin to teach lessons on Friday night and then stay overnight so she could teach all day on Saturday as

The Spring Valley City Council met on Monday, August 22, 2016. All members were in attendance: Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Mayor Jim Struzyk, Bill Bires, Jeff Vehrenkamp and City Administrator Deb Zimmer.

The council approved minutes of the previous meeting, and Final Accounts Payable. No visitors had signed up to speak to the council.

Mike Bubany gave a presentation on the various capital improvement projects the city is planning to do in the next seven years, and showed the financial impact and tax rates resulting

from such spending. He stated, “Washington and Buchanan are the two big ones. They’re roughly $8 million worth of stuff” (combined). He then showed a variety of scenarios regarding which street projects would be done, and when, and when the city would purchase several planned major pieces of equipment. Deb Zimmer pointed out that High Street needs to be done at the same time as Washington.

There was discussion about “Fund 255,” which is the city’s Capital Improvement fund.

Valley to live with her parents and open her own small music studio above a store. After she got married, she began teaching music lessons at home. She was also able to give lessons at the Grand Meadow school for five years during the ‘70s and then at St. Johns Lutheran School in Wykoff for another five years

later on. Two years ago, Barb’s children urged her to cut back, and so she stopped giving lessons at St. Johns, but still teaches at her home in Spring Valley. Since 2008, she’s played at the Cowboy Church in Cherry Grove and also plays at other churches, nursing homes, etc.

Over the years, Barb has learned other instruments beside the steel guitar, adding accordion, piano, and guitar to her repertoire. She gives lessons for each one. She plays mostly country and gospel music.

Barb currently averages about 22 students during the school year, a number that drops to half that during the summer months. The youngest student she’s ever taught was five-yearsold and the oldest was 90. He was her backyard neighbor and was looking for a hobby to fill his time after his wife passed away.

In Barb’s music room at her home, where she gives lessons, a piece of her musical history hangs on the wall. The guitar that her father purchased in the early 50s and learned how to play on, is hers now and is well-loved and worn.

“I’ve had lots of good experiences and met lots of great people,” Barb said about her 65 years teaching music. She plans to continue giving lessons as long as her health allows.

Rushford to market city-owned land EDA,” added Chladek. “The money paid is an economic investment.”

The council also unanimously supported efforts by the Rushford Peterson Valley Chamber of Commerce for community wayfinding signage. Jen Hengel, director for the chamber, was on hand to discuss plans.

The chamber has secured $3,000 in funds from Rushford Community Foundation and an additional $2,000 from the Economic Development Authority. The signs will be topped by the new brand logo and tag line and will be situated indicating destinations most used by visitors to the city and those not immediately visable from roadways.

The locations for the signs include Pine Meadows Lane, Winona Street, Highway 43/ Jessie Street, Highway 43/Highway 16, and the road to Magelssen Bluff. They will indicate where visitors can find the new school, Creekside Park, Rush Creek Trail system, Magelssen hiking trails and park, Root River State Trail, Visitor’s Information, and Root River water access.

By Kirsten Zoellner At the Monday, August 22 Rushford City Council meeting, the council approved retention of services from Darr Realty to market a number of city-owned properties, mainly land and lots. At the Rushford Economic Development Authority (EDA) meeting, Darr Realty put forth a proposal for the city to market through the Multiple Listing Service system, increasing the visibility and opportunity for sale of the properties.

“The primary impetus for this is getting realtors marketing opportunities. We’re putting together deed information for all the lot and this only applies to city-owned properties. It’s a good deal,” said City Administrator Tony Chladek.

“We’re getting another visibility. We know we have them, but others may not know we have them,” added Councilor Terri Benson.

While there is no initial expense, the proposal also included potential commission from sales. The minimum transaction fee was reduced from $1,500 to $999 by Darr Realty.

If Darr sells the property, a 5% commission is in play. The contract term is one year. “The flexibility is with the city and the

C ommentary Words of wisdom from an old baseball coach

By Jeff Erding Dear readers, I want to share a speech given in 1996 by a retired baseball coach at the annual ABCA coaches’ convention in Na s h v i l l e .

The speaker, John Scolinos, was well respected by his peers, h a v i n g posted over a thousand Jeff Erding wins during a career at Pepperdine and Cal State Poly, with three national championships to his credit. The 4,000coaches present represented all the baseball age groups, and all eagerly awaited the speech they felt would give them some invaluable tools in their coaching endeavors.

A standing ovation greeted Coach Scolinos as he shuffled on

stage. Much to the consternation of his audience, he was wearing something strange on a string around his neck…. It was a regulation Home Plate! He spoke the first 25 minutes without any reference to his prop. Even those who knew him well were mystified as to the significance it represented. The mystery was soon solved.

He first addressed Little League coaches by asking them how wide home plate was at their level. After a short pause, someone replied, “ 17 inches! “ “ How about Babe Ruth coaches?” the coach asked. “How wide at your level?” The reply was quicker this time. “17 inches!”

The old coach asked the same question of coaches at every level on up to the Major Leagues, and each time the reply came back, “ 17 INCHES!!” At that point, Scolinos roared back “Correct!

The other view of who you are

By Stan Gudmundson Who are you? Do you know?

What dumb things to ask, you say, of course I know who I am.

True, you may know yourself, but in the world of the lamestream media, on college campuses, and in Col. Stan the view of Gudmundson many in the political establishments, especially on the left, most of us are not who and what we think we are.

There is a great email floating around on the internet that helps clarify all of this. It doesn’t Editorial Cartoon

have an author that I could find, however, it’s a great summary.

Some of what is below is either a quote or a paraphrase from that email. Here goes.

Were both of your “parents white” and do you believe all lives matter? Besides benefiting from white privilege, you are a “racist.” Now don’t argue, it is what it is.

Are you a “fiscal and moral conservative?” Then you would be “a fascist.”

Are you “heterosexual?” You are a raging “homophobe.” But you already knew that.

Are you “non-union?” You are “a traitor to the working class and therefore an ally of big business.” Big government socialism

And what do they do with a pitcher in the majors who can’t throw the ball over these 17 inches!?” Coach answered his own question, “THEY SEND HIM TO POCATELLO!”, eliciting a chorus of laughter from the audience. “What they DON’T do,” continued Scolinos, “is say, ‘Ah, that’s ok Bobby, if you can’t hit 17”, we’ll make it 18”, or 20”, or wider still, say 25 inches.’”

The old gentleman paused a moment, then began again in a softer voice. “What do we do when our best player shows up late to practice, or violates curfew, or gets caught drinking or using drugs? Do we hold him accountable? Or do we change the rules? Do we widen home plate?”

There was absolute silence in the packed auditorium.

Coach was far from finished, as he drew a picture of a house is the answer. If you have any doubts, Venezuelans can testify as to how great it is. You might want to share your lunch with them before you ask though.

Are you “a Christian?” Any guesses? If you said you are an “infidel,” go to the head of the class.

Do you think there should be a temporary halt to Muslim immigration? You do? That means you are an Islamophobe. And not fit to be in mixed company.

Do you suspect the lamestream media is biased? You are a “reactionary.” Of course.

“Proud of ” your “heritage and” our “American culture.” “Xenophobe.” That is what you are.

America isn’t any better than any other country. Founded on racism and hatred, you know.

Do you believe in defending

on the snow white front of the plate. “This is the problem in our homes today with marriages and parenting. We don’t teach discipline or accountability. We don’t enforce consequences! We widen the plate!”

He went on to detail similar problems in our schools, in our churches, and in the actions of our government and our elected officials.

In conclusion, Coach Scolinos stated “If we fail to hold ourselves to a higher standard; if we are unwilling to provide a consequence when those around us don’t meet the standard; if our schools and churches and government fail to hold themselves accountable to those they serve and we do nothing, there is but one thing to look forward to…”

Coach then turned home plate around in front of his chest, showing it’s pitch black backside.

“Dark days ahead.”

Coach passed away in 2009 at the age of 91, but his message

and the example he set should resonate clearly with all of us today. How often do we contact our legislators or public officials about issues that are important to our families and our fellow citizens? Are we willing to let “Somebody Else” do the heavy lifting because we are unwilling to sacrifice the time and effort it takes to make things better?

Do we allow public officials to lie to us time and again about issues critical to America, yet continue to vote for them no matter how dishonest, untrustworthy, and inefficient they have proven to be? Will we penalize political elitists who hold themselves above the law, or will we allow the destruction of the first and second amendment rights of honest citizens, making them accountable for the actions of terrorists and criminals? Please join me in praying for America to turn from the self destructive path we are currently on.

God Bless, Jeff

and protecting America? You “militarist” you.

Are you “patriotic?” You are nothin’ but a warmonger.

Do you “believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual’s merits?” Seriously? You do? You are obviously “anti-social.”

Do you own a gun? Are you concerned about the “safety” of your “family” and do you support and “appreciate the police and the legal system?” The chances that you are a “right-wing extremist” are virtually 100%.

For those of you who are a little older, did you get “a good education” and have “a successful career?” You are an “overachiever” and you didn’t do that

on your own.

Do you suspect that the tweedle-doom and tweedle-gloom global warming hysteria is based on unsound science or is a complete hoax? Or, if real, poses an infinitesimally insignificant danger compared to being hit by an asteroid, one of those recurring ice ages, or an explosion of a super-volcano? Oh my! If you do, you are among the worst of sinners, probably even worse than an ISIS terrorist. You are a denier.

Does Hillary and all of her criminal baggage drive you up the wall? Along with her Obama-clone political positions?

Sexist! You are a pure unadulterated sexist. It doesn’t make any difference that every military officer I know, active duty and retired, believes she committed or nearly committed treason.

Nobody pays attention to us anyway. After all, why should anyone? Other than risking our lives to defend yours and this country, what have we done?

Besides, just because we have or have had security clearances like Hillary’s, what do we know.

If you are any or all of the above, chances are that you will vote against Hillary. There are, however, those who are most or all of the above who will still vote for this criminal. Many of them we call teacher or professor.

Countless union members will also vote for her despite the fact that is not in their best interests.

Just ask a coal miner.

You can be all of the above, but if you are motivated principally by hatred for Republicans and of anything conservative, then you will make the schizoid choice and vote for Hillary. Am I calling people like you crazy?

Nah, that’s a little strong. But you are nuttier than a squirrel dropping.

C ommentary The media’s responsibility to our democracy

By Lee H. Hamilton Politicians spend a good bit of their time complaining about the media. But why should they have all the fun?

I’m going to join in, though I tend to get upset about different things than most sitting Lee H. politicians Hamilton do. You see, I don’t actually mind when journalists — whether in print, on television or online — treat what politicians say with skepticism.

That means they’re doing their jobs.

But this doesn’t happen nearly as much these days as it should.

The media today is less objective, more ideological, and much showier than it once was. What you see can be eye-catching — both the graphics and the personalities — but it is also brash and relentlessly self-promoting. A lot of journalists don’t just want to report the news, they want to be players and affect policy.

They see politics as a blood sport, often exaggerating the differences among players.

As one observer said, the media is drawn to “superficiality, sensationalism, scandal, and sleaze.”

They’re all too happy to seize on small points of contention and fan them into major points of discord. They make building a consensus — the key task of the democratic process — much harder.

The field has been moving in this direction over decades, and there’s a reason for it: all these changes have been well received by the public. They draw viewers, readers and clicks. And they’ve encouraged consumers to pay attention only to the sources that reflect and broadcast their own viewpoint.

I don’t want to be a fogey here.

Yes, I grew up in the days of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, and I still think they were solid journalists, but what I miss is not the voice-of-authority-from-on-high that’s so often associated with them. Instead, what I too often find lacking now is the spirit that drove the profession in those days. I think the news media had a sense of responsibility to make representative democracy function. Jour-

nalists imbued their work with a palpable sense that they were involved in a public service.

There are still really excellent journalists out there who are doing their best to serve both their profession and the country.

Every day they struggle to make sense of enormously complex events. What they understand — and what I wish more of their colleagues believed — is that democracy demands journalism that improves its workings.

Properly done, journalism can bridge differences, help consensus emerge, improve the knowledge and judgment of voters, and sharpen the performance of public officials and government as a whole.

In the end, the democratic process is about overcoming disagreement. This is virtually impossible without a solid base of information and analysis.

Governing well is immensely difficult, and good journalism can keep government open and honest — which serves not just the voters, but politicians who are trying to resolve the problems facing the country.

Journalists can and should be watchdogs, keeping a watchful eye on politicians — what they do, what they say...and what they don’t do or say. They should serve not just the elites, but the underdogs and havenots in society.

The independence of our press was hard to win, and it’s vital that we sustain it. People must have

sources they can rely on in order to make our system work. Our democracy needs well-informed citizens making decisions based on facts about both policies and politicians.

This means that the model of the journalist that seems to be going out of fashion — reporters who were reasonably objective, independent of outside groups, and even independent of their company’s owners — is actually crucial to representative government. Curious, skeptical journalists who point out inconsistencies, draw attention to mistakes, call out misleading statements, and identify outright lies serve a larger purpose: they provide citizens what they need to know in order to be a good citizen, and public officials what they need in order to do their work well.

This is quite an ideal, especially in this age of economic turmoil within the media universe. But I don’t think it’s too much to hope that as the profession sorts out its future, it takes seriously its leadership role in advancing the public good, and doesn’t sacrifice its part in making representative democracy work properly.

He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Letter about Global warming hoax...

To the Editor, The tiny house trend comes from the UN agenda 21. Agenda 21 (agenda for 21st century) is a plan to totally restructure human society as we know it today. Because they (the globalists) say todays way of living is not sustainable because humans are causing global warming.

They say they want to reduce our carbon footprint (living in small houses or multifamily homes, driving small cars or use bycicles more and on and on it goes). Simply put, give up luxury and accept poverty in order to “save the earth.” They declare war on poverty but they get people to accept poverty with the lie that in doing so they are saving the earth. But it’s not about the environment, it’s about them building a global govern-

ment. They know that “human caused” global warming is a lie but it’s their platform that they need to built and gain world power. Living in small houses and driving small cars etc. is just fine but you’re not going to save the earth by doing so. And let’s not make laws and ordinances to force people to do so against their will. That’s what I’m concerned about. And now this is why I can confidently assure you that global warming is nothing but a gigantic hoax; 2 Peter 3:10 “the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up” but until then, “while the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease,” Genesis 8:22.

There is much more info about this hoax on americanpolicy.org.

that to help pay for street projects is one dollar less that would need to go into bond payments, but Zimmer said the city also needs to use Fund 255 to purchase several expensive items in the coming years. She mentioned that the snow plow is about 40-years-old, and parts are no longer available for it.

She said it will be a very expensive item to replace, but should last many years.

Bubany stated, “I think what would probably be helpful is for us to identify the absolute needs” and build them into the plan, prioritizing which projects and purchases must happen, and how soon. Zimmer said the Washington and High Streets project are a priority because of sewer and water issues involved.

She said, “It’s not always just the streets, it’s the underground”.

After the council and Bubany tweaked the numbers and the target years involved, Bubany said, “I’ll PDF this up and send it to you, Deb,” so that the city would have something concrete to work with in making decisions. He also suggested, “If Washington’s going to happen next year, you’re going to have to get cracking.”

Next, the council discussed Minnesota’s new Temporary Medical Housing law, commonly referred to as the “granny pod” law. Zimmer said one of the concerns is that law is not clearly

defined. After brief discussion, the council voted unanimously to opt out for now.

The council heard from Aaron Kolling, of AMD Distribution.

He’d written a letter to the city inquiring about the possibility of acquiring more land in the industrial park, for expansion of the business. Zimmer said the city has empty lots in the industrial park, and should consider attracting businesses to build there, especially since any increase in the city’s tax base will help as the city works on all of the capital improvements discussed earlier in the meeting. After discussion, the council voted (by a four to one vote, with Jones voting nay) to OK a three-year option to sell the parcels for $1 each for AMD’s expansion, contingent on building specifications. The council also voted to approve Resolution 2016-25, amending the boundaries of the TIF District 1-10.

John Fenske gave an update on parks, stating that the pool has been losing water (about three inches per day) and will bring in someone to locate the leak and see if it can be fixed.

Chad Hindt reported his crew has been painting lines and sweeping streets, as well as “continually mowing, I’ve never seen a year like this.” Deputy Tim Rasmussen reported that there have been more “suspicious activity” reports, but that many are due to the new Pokemon game that many young people are playing.

County’s aging computer system

By Karen Reisner County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman lead the discussion about the need to purchase new servers at the county board’s August 23 meeting. Commissioner Mitch Lentz was absent.

During the review of the Information Systems (IS) budget Vickerman recommended a $205,000 increase for 2017 in the equipment purchase budget. The additional funding would be used to purchase switches and four servers. She said the Technology Committee has been discussing how they can move forward and not go backward.

Chairman Marc Prestby said they have been putting a BandAid on the system for years; it is catching up with us. He said there is no support for servers when they get so old (2003).

Vickerman requested approval this day for the purchase of Datapac ($27,554), two batteries ($1,138) and labor for server transition ($8,640). Information Systems will forego computer replacements this year, so there will be enough money in the 2016 budget. There are also funds available that have not been spent that had been budgeted for an IS intern.

County Engineer Ron Gregg encouraged approval, describing a situation where data has been lost which they haven’t been able to recover. The three above purchases from Marco were approved.

Vickerman also discussed two options to increase tech support in the coming year. One possibility is managed IT services, which would also help the county look at future plans for the county’s computer system, costing about $100,000. These services would include tech support mostly via telephone. The second option is to hire two additional tech employees.

Numerous other proposed budgets were reviewed with very few changes from last year.

Vickerman said there will be a $70,000 increase in County Program Aid (CPA).

Donna Rasmussen presented her department’s budget with the same appropriation request of $215,000 from the county. An increase of $2,000 is proposed for county match for buffer law administration. Commissioner Duane Bakke said SWCD is doing the work for the buffer law and the county’s shoreland ordinance.

Monday, August 29, 2016 Jennifer Ronnenberg reported that the Water Quality budget is unchanged from 2016. Funds for water quality support drinking water testing for bacteria and nitrates.

Community Services and the Sheriff Department will present their proposed budgets at the first two meetings in September.

Request for proposals Solid waste administrator Jon Martin asked the board to consider approving a Request for Proposals for transportation and disposal of solid waste from the Fillmore County Resource Recovery Center.

Also discussed were the six rural sites that have bins for recyclables, including Spring Valley, Cherry Grove, Canton, Peterson, Chatfield, and Amherst. All of these collection sites are at county shops except Amherst, where there have been some complaints of dumping non-recyclable junk.

A temporary agreement with Waste Management was approved on May 24 that extended the WM contract to October 31.

Approval was given to send out the RFP pending county attorney review and approval. Proposals are to be opened and considered on September 19 and the start date of a new contract is to be November 1.

Other business in brief • Vickerman reported that the county had received a $101,677 dividend from Minnesota Counties Insurance Trust. In the past, the MCIT dividend has been put into the Infrastructure Fund.

Bakke noted this is profit sent back by the MCIT board. Vickerman explained that the fewer workman compensation and liability claims that are made, the more profit MCIT has to send back. Approval was given to put the dividend into the Infrastructure Fund.

• Chief Deputy Tony Weber asked that they be allowed to begin the process to establish a full time jailer eligibility list. The department is down one jailer at this time. There are three parttime jailers. Interviews for parttime jailers will be conducted next week. If none are interested in a full-time position, the process requested will begin.

A resolution was adopted for the Toward Zero Death grant agreement with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

The grant allows for additional traffic safety enforcement from October to September 30, 2017.

Officers enforce laws pertaining to impaired driving, speed, distracted driving, and seat belt use.

• Zoning administrator Cristal Adkins explained that the county has the option of opting out of the newly enacted legislation (MN statute, section 394.307) which allows for Temporary Health care Dwellings or “granny pods.” The board voted unanimously to opt out, which means the county ordinances in place will apply.

• Gregg recommended approval and received approval for a bid of $503,023 from Rochester Sand and Gravel for the CSAH 15 resurfacing project. The bid is 5% over the engineer’s estimate.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

Gregg recommended approval and received approval of the low bid of $206,044 from Midwest Contracting LLC for the Pilot Mound Township bridge replacement on Hook Lane. This bid was 20% under the engineer’s estimate.

Bakke reported that two bridges have been completed on the CSAH 1 project. He credited Gregg with his resourcefulness in going after the grants totaling $500,000 that were leftover 2015 funds in the Minnesota State Transportation Fund. The 2016 legislative session failed to produce a transportation and bonding bill which would have provided expected funds for bridges.

Commissioner Randy Dahl said when the legislature fails on these bills it pushes everything back. It makes huge differences in our ability to get more road work done that we know needs to be done.

• A request to hire Samantha Drogemuller as a Home Health Aide effective August 26 was approved.

• Approval was given to adver-

tise for a Public Health Nurse or Social Worker for Public Health to work with an expanded caseload related to MnChoices and Community Alternatives for Disabled Individuals (CADI) waivers. Jessica Erickson, Public Health, said the waiver clients have increased by 29 over the past two years.

Current staff have a full caseload of 40-60 clients. The additional employee cost will mostly be paid for with revenue from insurance payments for client services.

• Bakke reported that commissioner Lentz (who was absent) has argued that the county should put in broadband infrastructure on every reconstruction road project the county does in the future. The county is working on the reconstruction of CSAH 1. Bakke said the Highway Committee, which he serves on, did not recommend using county dollars for conduits or fiber installation. Bakke recommended contacting private companies and letting them know they have the right to lay infrastructure when the county is working on reconstruction of a roadway.

County awarded funds The Minnesota State Set-Aside Committee for the FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program has recommended $2,800 be awarded to Fillmore County. The money is awarded by the Department of Homeland Security and used to provide emergency food and shelter to people in need of them. The local board is made up of Workforce Development, churches, Semcac, Human Services, and other interested organizations. The local board determines how the funds are to be distributed among emergency food and shelter programs run by local service organizations in the area. Under the terms of the grant from the National Board,

local governmental or private voluntary organizations chosen to receive funds must: 1) be non-profit, 2) have a checking account and accounting system 3) practice non-discrimination, 4) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 5) have a voluntary board if private, not-for-profit. Qualifying organizations may apply by September 8.

Preston discusses 2017 budget

By Karen Reisner The preliminary draft details of Preston’s 2017 budget were discussed at the council’s August 23 meeting. Councilman Charles Sparks was absent.

The portion of the budget for operations, which includes the general fund, police, fire, street, tourism, library, and park board, directly impacts the levy. The council has the discretion to add or subtract to these funds. The portion related to bond payments for completed street and industrial park improvements is generally set on a payment schedule.

City administrator Joe Hoffman said the proposed budget shows a 6.77% levy increase, which is the result of restoring the street fund. It is proposed that $90,000 be put into the street improvement fund as has been done in years past. Because of the Twenty-14 Project, only $45,000 was put into this fund in 2015, $0 in 2016. This restoration of the street improvement fund drives the levy increase. The proposed levy increase for 2017 is about $54,000.

Mayor Kurt Reicks noted that the city now has a program to seal coat streets to preserve the improvements that have been made, extending the life of those streets.

The police budget will have nearly a 5% decrease, back to where it was two years ago. It was higher last year to pay for insquad computers.

Health insurance expenses are down by $16,030, due to a new health insurance plan. A 3% cost of living increase is figured into the 2017 budget. Local Government Aid will be $496,532, or a $153 increase over 2016.

Allocations for LGA have been relatively constant over the past five years.

The city will likely adopt its preliminary levy at its September 19 meeting.

Community bike program Sarah Wangen addressed the council about a plan to bring Community Bikes to Root River trail towns. Participating towns will receive up to $3,000 each to purchase bicycles, helmets, bike locks and racks. The Fillmore County Statewide Health Improvement Program grant will fund the purchases. The “coaster” bicycles (no gears) and equipment will be owned by the city.

Bike maintenance will be done in trail towns and paid for with the grant or Trail Towns’ funds.

Those that wish to check out a bike must be 18 or older with a driver’s license or valid ID. They will be required to sign a “waiver of liability” form. Riders must wear a helmet. Bikes must be returned to the location where they were received before closing time each day.

Wangen said the Corsons had agreed to check out and receive bikes at the Trailhead in Preston.

The council voted to participate in the program. Both residents and tourists will be welcome to use the free bikes.

Other business in brief • Up to $13,000 was approved to hire a firm to do a Veterans Home Demand Study. Dwight Luhmann said the EDA has received a letter of agreement from the company accepting the proposal. The funding will come out of the EDA budget.

• Approval was given to add Erik Topness to the EDA board, after the resignation of Scott Springer.

• The council approved the Greater Minnesota Housing Fund contract. Luhmann explained the GMHF provides up to $8,500 per apartment unit. These funds are to improve apartment units above commercial spaces in the commercial district.

• Two $3,000 EDA revolving loans were approved for applicants in conjunction with the Small Cities Development Program. The applicants were Urban Artifacts and Teri Klaehn Accounting.

• Hoffman maintained that the Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (SMMPA) agreement changes will result in lower rates for Preston residents. SMMPA is a wholesale electric provider. Three out of the eighteen municipal members, including Rochester, Austin and Waseca, have decided not to extend their contracts beyond 2030. However, both Rochester and Austin want to continue to participate in the Badger Coulee Transmission Project, which will continue past 2030. Austin also wants to participate in the Owatonna Energy Station project which is expected to continue past 2030. Hoffman maintained the continued participation in these projects by Rochester and Austin will benefit Preston beyond 2030.

The changes in the contract will allow for more flexibility “to partner on generation and transmission investments.” Hoffman explained Rochester and Austin are more likely to commit to a project knowing they have the option to purchase from SMMPA after 2030. A motion to approve the change in the agreement passed unanimously.

• Jim Bakken, Public Works, said the old rotary cutter needs replacement as it is at the end of its useful life. The council approved the purchase of a John Deere 72 inch rotary cutter for $2,300 from Preston Equipment.

The cost will be shared with Preston Public Utilities ($1,150 each).

• A resolution was adopted authorizing the Preston Police Department to enter into a grant agreement with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for traffic safety enforcement.

These are federal funds for traffic enforcement, the Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) project.

• A subscriber agreement for the Minnesota Court Services for Government Agencies was approved. Luhmann explained this allows him access to the state court data system.

By Tammy Danielson Only in a small town There are many unique tidbits shared by internet stories and forwarded emails about the life in a small town. You know how it goes… “you are from a small town IF…” Of course, many of the stories are true but some are quite embellished and, unfortunately, are not always an accurate reflection of the many wonderful individuals who call a small town their home. There is a definite lifestyle that has to be recognized; the lifestyle is casual but adventurous and open to the possibilities— after all, what if a stoplight comes

to town? You have to embrace it! With only one stoplight in Fillmore County, it would be a big change to see one blinking in your community!

Today’s article is not a joke about small town people but, instead, a tribute to the hard working and giving people I have the opportunity to interact with. Most recently, I have been involved in fundraising for our small town school. As most of

Guilty Meatloaf

I call this guilty meatloaf because it is so easy!

2 pounds ground beef 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell’s Tomato Soup 1 envelope (about 1 ounce) dry onion soup, recipe & dip mix 1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs 1 egg, beaten 1/4 cup water 1. Thoroughly mix the beef, 1/2 cup tomato soup, onion soup mix, bread crumbs and egg in a large bowl. Place the mixture into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan and firmly shape into an 8 x 4-inch loaf.

2. Bake at 350°F. for 1 hour 15 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through. Let the meatloaf stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

3. Heat 2 tablespoons pan drippings, remaining tomato soup and water in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat until the mixture is hot and bubbling, stirring occasionally. Serve the soup mixture with the meatloaf.

you know, it takes many hands to make a fundraiser to be successful. In a small town those hands are often wrapped up in multiple commitments within the community and it can be a struggle to find enough hands at any given time to make things happen. However, where there is a will there is a way and… will can be stronger than the reality of available time.

So, how do you raise money in a small town? The key is to find the busiest people in the community and ask them to do more (smile). You may hear a heavy sigh at first but, after that, you will hear how much time they can give you and then Be Thankful they are part of your team. In a small town, it is all about relationships and how those people you know can talk with people they know and also ask them to give just a little bit more of themselves as well. I have been surprised, shocked, and simply in awe of how much people can give. This statement includes all of the locals and participants who come to the fundraisers and donate their hard earned dollars. It struck me when our silent auction and live auction were so successful and because of those faithful supporters of the community who come back year after year –thank you, thank you, thank you! I am humbled.

Chief Randy Gossman and Assistant Chief Jim Davis accepted the donation. Bergey Boys Blazing BBQ chose to collect funds for their hometown fire department as a way to honor Don’s brother, Dennis, who passed away unexpectedly last August. Dennis served 22 years as a proud member of the Canton Fire Department.

Rotary Rock-n-Ribs is a joint effort of the La Crosse Valley View Rotary Club and the Holmen Area Rotary Club, with matching funds for the nonprofit beneficiaries provided by Verve Credit Union.

Ask a Trooper

• The traffic-control signal is apparently malfunctioning or, if programmed to change to a green light only after detecting the approach of a motor vehicle, the signal has apparently failed to detect the motorcycle, bicycle or moped.

• No vehicle or person is approaching the roadway to be crossed or entered.

• Approaching vehicles or persons are so distant that they do not constitute an immediate hazard.

The law also provides an affirmative legal defense to this action. The affirmative defense applies only to an alleged violation for entering or crossing an intersection controlled by a traffic-control signal against a red light. It does not provide a defense to any other civil or criminal action.

You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober.

If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, Minn. 55901-5848. Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@ state.mn.us.

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: What is the rule for drivers of motorcycles for making left or right turns at intersections? Someone told me that because some vehicles are not heavy enough to Troy H. trip the signal Christianson lights they are legally able to make a left or right turn at a red light when it is safe to do so, after the signal light has cycled once. Please advise, thanks!

Answer: Minnesota law does address motorcycles, bicycles and mopeds that are not detected by control systems at traffic lights.

When a signal change does not occur, the law gives motorcyclists, bicyclists and moped riders the option to proceed through the intersection after a reasonable amount of time.

These five conditions must be met in order to proceed: • The motorcycle, bicycle or moped has come to a complete stop.

• The traffic-control signal remains red for an unreasonable time.

Root River noxious weeds: Japanese hops

By Michael Cruse Extension Educator for Fillmore and Houston Counties When most people hear the word hops, they think of the common hop used for brewing beer. But over the past five to ten years a Michael Cruse related species, Japanese Hops, has been invading the local waterways of southeastern Minnesota.

Japanese hops is native to

eastern Asia and was originally brought to North America as an ornamental. It is an aggressively growing, annual vine that can both climb and trail across the ground. When climbing, the vines can put enough weight onto trees and shrubs that they break or fall over. On the ground they can develop such a thick mat of vegetation that no other plant species can grow in those areas.

For those interested in identifying the plant, the leaves of Japanese hops are two to six inches long and have five to seven lobes with toothed

edges. The plants have hooked climbing hairs that can cause dermatitis and blistering if they come into contact with skin. There are distinct male and female plants that usually flower in mid to late summer.

Japanese hops is often mistakenly identified as bur cucumber or wild cucumber but neither of these species have the hooked climbing hairs.

The species was first identified in Minnesota along the Mississippi in 2011 and was added to Minnesota’s Noxious Weed List in 2012. An extensive infestation along the Root River from Preston to Hokah was mapped in 2014.

With only a few infestations in Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources have made it a goal to eradicate these infestations quickly before the plant has a chance to spread. To this effect the Root River infestation was first treated in 2015.

The Department of Natural Resources intends to complete another round of treatment this year in the same area.

Japanese hops is on the Eradicate List of noxious weeds in Minnesota, and so attempts must be made to kill the above and below ground parts of this plant. Japanese hops reproduces by seed which can be dispersed by wind, water, vehicles and equipment. Do not plant Japanese hops seeds and

make every attempt possible to prevent the movement of these seeds. This is especially important for those who use the Root River for recreation purposes. Repeated hand pulling can control small infestations but repeated cutting and/or foliar applications of systemic herbicides are typically required to control larger patches of this weed species.

Much of the information for this article came from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture website and through direct correspondence with

Exploring the origins of Labor Day Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summertime fun and a day when thousands of people gather across the country for their final big barbecue blowouts. Labor Day has evolved into a holiday about relaxing with friends and family, and that has led to its

origins getting somewhat lost in the celebratory shuffle.

Created by the labor movement in the late 19th century, Labor Day was established to highlight the achievements of American workers, both from a social and an economic perspec-

tive. Labor Day highlights one of the main benefits of being a citizen of the United States, the ability to have professional freedom and contribute to the prosperity and strength of the country through gainful employment. Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894.

Celebrated annually on the first Monday of September, it is

Labor Day was largely celebrated in the past with parades, speeches and a day off of work for the country's workers. Similar festivities occur to this day, with the gradual introduction of other events that mark the unofficial end of summer.

believed that Labor Day was first promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, which also organized the first labor-related parade in New York City. Although the true fathers of Labor Day remain a topic of debate, some historians maintain that Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor put forward the first Labor Day

What aRe soMe things i should have on My hoMeoWneR’s poliCy? Here are some things I look for when I review a homeowner’s policy.

1. Having replacement cost coverage vs. actual cash value, which takes into account depreciation.

2. “Special” cause of loss (includes accidental and other) vs. “Named peril”, (which is just acts of God) 3. Fire dept. service is $1000. A lot of policies start at $500.

4. Water back-up coverage if basement is finished.

5. Your personal property has replacement cost coverage, not actual cash value.

6. Listing higher value personal property like jewelry, firearms, and collectibles separately. That way you know they’re covered, and the deductible will be lower.

7. Adequate liability limits. (minimum of $300,000) This is just a few things I scan for on a policy. If you have any questions or you’re uncertain about, you should ask your agent.

WHY SHOULD A PERSON DO A HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE? The short answer is that it can save a lot of money and aggravation for you and your family.

Why is this? If you are temporarily or permanently unable to make your own health care decisions, it appoints a proxy who can make these decisions for you. Once you are better, you would again make your own decisions. Further, the document gives directions to your proxy as to what type of treatment you would receive. Generally, my clients wish to have language in the document indicating that their pain should be relieved, but if there’s no chance at recovery, that they don’t wish to be kept on life support indefinitely.

Periodically you read in the newspapers about cases where people are on life support with no chance at recovery and no one is authorized to act as a proxy to make the decisions so that it’s necessary to bring the matter before the court for direction and orders. If interested persons disagree as to the appropriate decisions to be made, the costs can be very expensive.

We recommend a health care directive. Call Corson Law Offices, LLC at 507-765-2121 to schedule.

This is a question that is asked a lot this time of year. Taking a vehicle away from your home town can sometimes be nerve-racking. A few tips that will help is taking the vehicle to your trusted mechanic and having it thoroughly checked out. Some of the main things that should be checked are all of the fluid levels and see if any are leaking. The tires are very important. They should be checked for air pressure amount of tread left. The battery should be tested to make sure it is up to the task. A good battery is crucial to the operation of a vehicle. And finally, one of the most important things to consider is that vehicle problems can happen at any time. Being prepared for those problems can alleviate a lot of stress. Something you should do before a problem arises is to find a trusted mechanic in the area you will be attending school. What I recommend is going to an auto parts store and asking them what a good mechanic shop is in the area. The auto parts stores sell parts to the auto repair shops and have a really good knowledge as to which ones are the best.

What happens With CRp gRound When enRolled aCRes aRe bought/sold?

Acres enrolled in CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) are frequently a part of land transactions. Both buyers and sellers are concerned with how and what responsibilities and benefits can be transferred when the land changes hands. The most common scenario is that the program transfers from the seller to the buyer based on the date that the transaction closes. Typically the payment for the current year is pro-rated or split between the seller and buyer based on how much of the yearly contract has elapsed up to the point of close. The buyer then receives the future payments for the years remaining on the contract. Other arrangements for the payment allocation can be made but this is the most straight forward method.

CRP contracts can be bought out prior to close. There is a formula the FSA office applies based on payments received up to that point, some interest accrued and some administrative fees that need to be paid in order to “buy the contract out.”

This is a feasible option if the contract is relatively new and only a couple payments were received. However, if a property is 5 years or more into a 10 year contract, this option gets very expensive. A key point to watch out for is that the buyer must acknowledge the contract responsibilities and complete transfer paperwork at the FSA office within 60 days following the close of the land transaction. If the buyer fails to enroll in this time period the seller could be penalized having to pay back all the payments they received on that contract. CRP fields can also be split or divided as part of a sale and both pieces can remain enrolled with different owners.

monitor the moisure levels of your corn silage and high moisture corn to optimize yield quantity and quality.

Harvesting whole plant corn at the right moisture content and particle size is crucial to making high quality corn silage that is well utilized.

Once harvested, save more of the nutrients by using a silage inoculant or acid based stabilizer to maximize digestible tonnage with products like Biomax 5 or the SiloSolve product line. Remember to use additives properly, pack well, and cover securely to minimize storage losses. The end result: higher production and a better return on your investment. www.fce.coop

Chatfield Center for the Arts agreement

By Karen Reisner At the August 22 city council meeting, an agreement between the city of Chatfield and the city’s EDA concerning the Center for the Arts was approved.

The Economic Development Authority owns the Center for the Arts and they have an agreement with Chatfield Center for the Arts, Inc. (a non-profit group incorporated in 2011) to operate the facility.

In the city’s agreement with the EDA, the city agrees to provide to the EDA a payment of $60,000 per year, routine snow removal, lawn mowing services, and fire and liability insurance if it is mutually beneficial.

Citizens need to step up Three councilors have indicated that they will not seek another term: Dave Frank, Robert Pederson, and Ken Jacobson. Only one person filed for a council seat for the upcoming election. Mayor Russ Smith filed for reelection to serve as mayor.

Jacobson recommended people step up and do a “write-in” campaign. He said we need young people to get involved in local government and to make a commitment.

Deputy Clerk Beth Carlson researched what happens if no one is elected to fill one or more seats.

In Chapter 3 of the City’s Charter it states, “Whenever a vacancy occurs in the office of a councilor -- such a vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term of such official by resolution of the city council.”

Other business in brief • Jeff Hare requested a temporary liquor license for JAC’s third annual Oktoberfest Celebration to be held on September 17.

Other events in town over that same weekend, including Heritage Day, are planned at the Chatfield Center for the Arts.

City Clerk Joel Young explained the city can issue a liquor license for liquor to be sold on the street in conjunction with a community event. Typicall,y this kind of liquor license would be issued to a non-profit, except in conjunction with a community event.

Hare also requested a partial closure of Second St. on Saturday the 17th. Hare’s requests were approved.

• Kristi Clarke, Planning, described several proposed changes to the zoning ordinance. There was a public hearing on August 1 with no comments or concerns on any of these additions or changes.

Solar Garden/Farm and Solar Structures were defined. A minimum lot size of five acres and a maximum of 30 acres for a Solar G/F was established. Also, language was added requiring a Solar G/F to be removed when abandoned for 12 months. Screening must be established to the extent possible.

The subdivision ordinance is to be amended. Sidewalks shall be required “in defined Safe Routes to School areas and” in areas of potential high pedestrian traffic.

The added language in quotes is required by MnDot to be eligible

for safe routes to school infrastructure dollars.

The city attorney was directed to draft zoning ordinances ,including the recommended additions and changes laid out by Clarke.

• Clarke explained a state bill signed into law last May goes into effect September 1. The Temporary Family Housing legislation would allow temporary portable dwellings of up to 300 square feet for up to six months or a year with another application. The League of Minnesota Cities is opposed

to the law and has offered an “opt out” resolution. Clarke said the law conflicts with sections of the Chatfield Zoning Ordinance and could decrease neighborhood home values. The resolution to opt out was approved.

• Brian Burkholder, Public Works, reported that the elevator in the Thurber Building does not operate on emergency generator power. A “soft start” can be installed by Schumacher Elevator for $2,000 to fix the problem. It is important for the elevator to work on generator power because

the Thurber Building is the command post during a disaster. The installation of a soft switch was approved.

• Burkholder updated the council on the Margaret St. & James St. stormwater project. Bids are to be received on August 25 and work is to be completed by December 1.

Mark Welch, G-Cubed, will discuss the Union St. stormwater project at a neighborhood meeting on August 24. Easements must be obtained. When the plans are ready they will send out for bids on this project.

• A resolution was adopted concerning annual adjustments to the city’s pay grid. Young said they are

Page 13

trying to come up with a more effective way to adjust the grid.

The Personnel/Budget Committee will come back with a recommendation for 2017. Calculations will use the September publication of the CPI while considering other factors to make their recommendations in October.

• Young announced that the Horse Pull which had been postponed will take place at Mill Creek Park on September 9.

• John Wayne Austinson, who is running for state house seat 26B, thanked the people for welcoming him in Chatfield as he knocks on doors. He said he is learning a lot.

the league title after back-to-back seconds. Chatfield went 18-11 overall, losing to eventual 1AA East champ Red Wing in the semis. Team leaders in nearly every statistical category graduated. Included were two AllTRC players (Sheridan Salisbury, Brooke Adler) and three HM players (Maddie Muller, Megan LaPlante, Danielle Kramer).

Chatfield returns just two regulars. Seniors Mariah Bell (5’8” MH, 63 kills, 18.5 blocks) and Kyra Dokken (5’7 MH, 67 kills, 24 blocks) are it for big-time varsity experience. Two other seniors (Lexi Schott and Haley Goetzinger) join seven juniors to round out a mostly new squad.

Kingsland volleyball enters the year in recent new territory. The Knights have the same coach for the first time in four years. Brittni McCane returns for year two.

The silver and black went 3-18 last season (1-11 in TRC; first league win since 2012). They fell to Schaeffer Academy in a 1A East pig-tail contest. The Knights will boast nine seniors.

Alayna Meskill (5’4” DS) and Kailey Link (5’7” setter) are third-year regulars. Kellyn Webster (5’6” OH), Gracie Schmidt (6’0” MH), and Ericka Kolden (5’9” OH) played abundantly in 2015. Sophomores Lauren Buchholtz (5’7” MH) and Taylor Zimmerman (5’4 libero) were two of three Knights (with Link) to play in every set.

Buchholtz, in her third varsity season, led Kingsland in kills (150) and blocks (20.5). Link was top assistor (292), Zimmerman the top defender (285 digs). The trio each earned All-TRC HM. The Houston Hurricanes begin the year like Lanesboro, with a new coach.

Brianna Primmer takes over for Hannah Bauman. The double H’er’s went 5-16 last season (3-11 in SEC), losing to the Burros in a 1A East pigtail game. The ‘Canes lost their top attacker (All-SEC Kelly Jerviss) and setter (All-SEC HM Maya Upton) amidst three key graduations. They’ll have four seniors this year, a cast headed by top defender Alyvia King (5’4” OH, 203 digs). From there, seniors Erin Conley (5’5” OH) and Jordyn Holland (5’5” MH), and juniors Becca Lee (5’6” RH, 143 6 digs, 27 aces) and Amber Chapel (5’10” MH) return as regulars. Chapel is the team’s leading returning attacker (64 kills). *TRC stats courtesy of Bill Bentson.

in on 1,000 spikes. Two-year starter, All-SEC junior Dakota Delaney (5’9” MH) also returns (234 kills). Third-year starter Lexi Thorson (5’5” OH, AllSEC HM, 250 digs, 152 kills, 116 assists) leads the sophomore class. Maddy Michels (5’6” sophomore RH), Payton Danielson (5’3” freshman OH, 226 digs, 64 aces) and Kenidi McCabe (5’3” 8th grader setter/DS, 181 digs) complete the ‘we’re back’ list. Entering his 23rd season, Coach Morken is well within reach of 600 career victories. The Cougars start the year #3 in Class A (highest ranking since the early 2000s).

In Rushford, the Trojans come off a successful 2015 campaign. Nikki Schultz’s girls posted a fifth consecutive winning season. R-P made it to Rochester for a second straight year (fell to M-C in the 1A East semis). They finished fourth in the TRC (8-4), going 20-9 overall. The Trojans played in seven five-set matches. A trio of regulars graduated. The super senior core foursome of Brianna Koop (5’9” OH), Savannah Skalet (5’5” setter), Ashley Agrimson (5’11” MH), and Mikayla Crawford (5’4” libero) return.

K o o p , Savannah Skalet, and Skalet Agrimson were R-P’s three 2015 All-TRC picks (Koop and Skalet repeated).

Crawford was Honorable Mention. Koop led R-P and finished Mikayla second in Crawford the TRC with 321 kills whilst nearing the 300/300 club (293 digs).

Skalet was the TRC’s most lethal server (66 aces) whilst notching a TRC-fourth best 711 assists and 262 digs. She begins the year three quarters of the way to 2,000 assists. Crawford led the TRC with 581 digs. She has over 1,000 total. Agrimson chipped in 191 kills and a team-best 37 blocks. Experienced juniors Kensay Clobes (5’8” OH) and Nicole Blagsvedt (6’0” MH) also return. Koop, Skalet, Crawford, Agrimson, and Clobes combined for 183 aces.

Travis Malley’s Fillmore Central Falcons will look to step back up as a league and sub-section contender.

The 2013/2014 TRC and 1A East champs battled thru a middling 2015. They upset W-K in the 1A East quarters, only to fall to Caledonia in the semis. FC finished at 15-14 (7-5 in TRC).

By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal.com The 2015 volleyball season was a highly competitive one.

Five of seven JourThe Trende nal covered Report teams finished with winning records.

Two won conference titles.

Four made Rochester. One Paul Trende played for a trip to state. The 2016 season looks to be similarly good. Teams will mix it up amidst a TRC and sections that look to be gauntlets. FC, R-P, Kingsland, and Lanesboro have senior heavy squads. M-C, R-P, FC, and Lanesboro return “milestone” players. It could be a year of a bunch of four and five set matches.

Few area volleyball seasons begin without talking about Mabel-Canton right out of the gate. Lonnie Morken’s Cougars broke a six-year section title game draught in 2015. M-C was SEC (14-0) and 1A East champ (1A Runner-Up), posting a program best 35 wins versus 3 losses, a sixth straight 30-win season.

Two losses came to state champion W-E-M (split a two-setter) and state runner-up FaribaultBA (section title match). M-C played just one senior. They’ll have two in 2016. They return all four All-SEC players and eight of nine full-timers. Heading the cast is fifth-year starter Coranda Vickerman (5’9” setter/ OH). The reigning two-time SEC Player of the Year, three-time Coranda A l l - S E C Vickerman pick, earned 1st Team Class A All-State in 2015. She led the team in assists (808), digs (323), and aces (76) while adding 209 kills. She’s within reach of 1,000 career digs and 2,000 career assists.

Vickerman gets help from fellow senior, versatile Courtney Graves (5’9 MH/Setter). The third-year starter is a two-time All-SEC pick (180 kills, 173 assists). The junior class features twotime AllSEC selection Savannah Slafter, M-C’s best pure hitting weapon. The Savannah 5’7” OH led Slafter the Cougars in kills (398) while adding 271 digs and 64 aces. She is closing

The showing ended a four-year run with 20-plus wins. The Falcons 2016 A-team will be the B’s-squad. They have six experienced seniors. All have a last name that starts with ‘B’. AllTRC libero Tayah Barnes (5’7”) heads the cast. FC’s last starting holdover from the 2013 state runner-up squad is one the TRC’s top defend- Tayah Barnes ers (491 digs, 33 aces). She has over 1,000 career repels. Paige Bennett (5’11” OH), their second returning All-TRC pick, was FC’s top attacker a year ago (215 kills). Kendyl Bennett (6’0” MH) platooned the middle (131 kills, team-best 25.5 blocks). Bailey Barnes (5’5”) co-set (368 assists, 167 digs).

Kelsey Berg (5’10” RH) and Kenzie Broadwater (5’8” OH) round out the troupe. Junior Cailey Rindels (5’9” MH) also is back after being FC’s second leading attacker (155 kills) and blocker (25). K-Bennett and Rindels were All-TRC HM. After 18 a year ago, the Falcons have 12 girls on varsity.

Lanesboro volleyball begins the year coming off a near nineyear high-water-mark for wins.

The Burros went 16-6 in 2015 (10-4 in SEC). They posted more Ws than the three preceding years combined (13). But in the tough 1A Section, they fell to R-P in the East quarterfinals (despite beating the Trojans, and handing M-C its lone SEC set loss, in the regular season). At the top, Julie Schreiber takes over for Chris Knutson. She inherits a squad that notably lost All-SEC OH, RCTC signee Rachel Kimball. Two of three 2015 All-Conference selections return though. Senior setter Lexi Melander (5’6”), already over 1,000 career assists, enters her third year as offensive quarterback.

Diddo goes for versatile senior Cassidy Ruud (5’8” OH), who is Lexi Melander equally adept up front or in the back. They are joined be senior veterans Maggie Decker (5’5” libero) and Haley Polin (5’11” RH). Long-armed junior Joelie Schreiber (5’11” MH) is an interior force. She was All-SEC Honorable Mention (team leader in blocks) while doubling as the coach’s daughter.

She and Ruud were the team’s second and third leading attackers in 2015.

In Chatfield, for the first time in recent memory, the Gophers aren’t loaded with returning experience. Ruth Ann Lund’s girls come off a season in which they went 11-1 in the TRC for a third straight year. They shared Yo ur L

Girls Cross Country Preview

For the first time in the Journal Sports era, the cross country season begins with the section champ hailing from Fillmore County. The Lanesboro/Fillmore Central Burros enjoyed a magical 2015 campaign.

They won 9 of 11 races. They racked up TRC and Section 1A titles. Ellen Cullen was Section Coach of the Year. LFC finished 9th of 16 teams at the program’s first ever state meet.

The Burros enter 2016 having lost nothing. They return their top six runners, Kiera Olson (senior, two-time cross country state competitor, top team finisher at state, eight top tens), Leah Ruen (senior, seven top tens), Emily Kiera Olson Snyder (sophomore, top runner at section meet, eight top tens), Bailey Ruen (junior), Ashley Miner (junior), and Maddie Smith (sophomore).

Head and shoulders above the other county squads, they have not only cross country cred, but state track cred.

The next Leah Ruen best county girls cross country program at the 2015 Section meet were the Chatfield Gophers. Chris Frye’s team finished 12th (off 22). He has a youthful group (one senior, five freshman, three 8th graders, two 7th graders). His top returnees are Beatrice Martin and Kaylee Maker (both freshman). Each finished top 50 (of 148) at Sections. LARP and Kingsland’s girls finished 17th and 18th at the 1A Meet. LARP head coach Matt Kingsbury graduated his top runner (Bailey O’Hare). Eighth grader Hannah Linder (43rd at 1A Meet) is his top returnee. Kingsland Knights coach Erin Milz returns her top four runners from last year (seniors Marina Schwanke, Erica Earley, and Andrea Mettler, sophomore Renee Lechner). Schwanke heads the group, having posted seven top 25 finishes in 2015.

someplace,” says Hisey. “Coincidentally, a building in Chatfield, Minn., became available around that time. We brought in our board of directors and had a meeting with the Chatfield City Council. Through the efforts of then Mayor Greg Forbes, Joel Young, and Pete Petersen, a favorable impression of Chatfield was given.

Next, the board met with the Root River State Bank’s Charles and Chuck Johnson. An offer was made and accepted contingent on approval of the Club’s membership. The members overwhelmingly approved the purchase of the property, and the planning began.”

Hearing of his enthusiasm for the Museum, it is important to understand that Hisey’s dedication to the sport of bowhunting

In 1985, Glenn Hisey started the Pope & Young Club Measurer Training Seminars and over the last 31 years, has trained over 700 of the Club’s 800 official measurers throughout North America.

entries, Dad has hand-processed each and every one of the last 93,000+ entries,” exclaims Hisey’s daughter, Karla Hamersma of Spring Valley. “For eight years, he also held the position of records chairman, then held the title of first vice-president (FVP). Over the years, Dad has served as a panel measurer (an elite group of the best measurers brought together to measure the largest of each species for each two-year recording period) 18 times - there’s only one person that has served on more panels, and that’s our good friend, Larry Streiff, of Rochester!”

A tremendous change in involvement and commitment came when in 2004, the Pope and Young Club/St. Charles Museum of Bowhunting was moved from Seattle, Wash., to Chatfield, Minn. Hisey and his late son, Kevin, along with numerous volunteers, went to work to build a permanent home for the Pope and Young Club’s Museum.

From design work, construction, set-up of the displays and eventual expansion, Glenn and Kevin spent many on and offhours seeing the concept come to fruition. “With help from local museum committee and P&Y members, Larry Streiff of Rochester, Jerry Finley of Chatfield, and Randy Doyle of Eyota, staff members Julie Cordes of Kenyon and Karla Hamersma of Spring Valley, plus all of our families, and many others from near and far, the Pope and Young Club/St. Charles Museum of Bowhunting was completed and opened in the

Fall of 2004,” says Hisey.

Since its opening when Hisey became the museum director, thousands of visitors from around the world are inspired by Glenn’s handiwork and dedication to bowhunting’s legacy. “The Pope and Young Club/St. Charles Museum of Bowhunting was from the beginning open to the public, free of charge,” says Hisey. “ We encourage everyone in Fillmore County to stop in to the museum to see it for yourself. You will be amazed at all the history, artifacts and memorabilia, not to mention the impressive conservation message of the Model of North American Wildlife Conservation.

With representative mounts of all 29 big game species, plus several World’s Records and former World’s Records, the big game exhibit is unforgettable.”

One room in the museum has been given to house the Minnesota Archery Hall of Fame collection and for their induction ceremonies. “Also, located in this museum are the largest collection of broadheads on public display, with many rare and several oneof-a-kind heads,” mentions Hisey.

“This collection has been one of my favorite passions to cultivate, expand and share with visitors.”

Hisey has relished his time spent as museum director, the years as the Club’s FVP, and working with his son, Kevin who became the executive secretary until he passed away in February of 2015. Glenn is pleased to have been able to have authored many articles and chapters in record books and the Measurer’s Manual, and was the editor on several of the Pope and Young Club’s record books. Yet meeting, knowing, and becoming friends with local hunters as well as some of the great bowhunters of all-time - Glenn St. Charles, Fred Bear, G. Fred Asbell, Chuck Adams - has been a special honor for Hisey.

Several expansions were made over the years. One expansion was the 2011 brainchild of Kevin Hisey. He was able to design a section dedicated to the North American wildlife conservation message.

Hisey explains, “This area highlights Theodore Roosevelt, who is considered to be the greatest conservation-minded President of all time. It walks you through the early days of modern conservation showcasing Pinchot, Muir and Grinnell. Separately, there is a display about Aldo Leopold, an author and conservationist that helped lead many to the conservation movement.” This display was

finished in time for the Club’s 50th Anniversary in 2011.

“For the last 35 years, my dad has faithfully and loyally served the Pope and Young Club. It was a labor of love,” states Hamersma, who held the position of membership services representative for fifteen years, resigning in April 2016. “The Pope & Young Club has always stood for ethics and fair chase. Dad enjoyed working for the good of bowhunting, and the history and heritage of the lifestyle we all love! I will always hold special memories of my years working with him, Kevin, and Julie Cordes of Kenyon (formerly of Chatfield).

We were an amazing team, and we were all so proud to be able to work for an organization that stood for so much.”

On April 4, 2016, Glenn Hisey retired from his positions of executive secretary and director of records for the Pope and Young Club. Joe Bell, of Prescott City, Ariz., has been hired for a new position - executive director.

If a plaque was presented to Glenn Hisey as he retired April 4, 2016 it might read, “Congratulations Glenn Hisey for your 35 years of faithful and loyal service to the Pope and Young Club, 19812016,” with his service record listed below: • Official Measurer - 1981 • Panel Measurer - since 1981 -18 times • Measurer Training Instructor since 1985 • Second Vice-President -1987 to 1990 • Executive Secretary - 1989 to 2000 • Director of Records - 1989 to 2016 • Records Chair - 2000 to 2008 • Museum Director - 2004 2016 • First Vice-President - 2008 to 2014 • Executive Secretary - 2015 to 2016 Hisey is grateful to the Pope & Young Club measurers and friends that he has met through the years.

“Thank you for all your support and help through the years. This museum is a crown jewel in Fillmore County. Readers should make a point to see this national museum committed to bowhunting and the North American wildlife conservation message.”

began many years before, with his first position as an official measurer in 1981. Official measurers are the representatives of the Pope and Young Club who are out in the field, coming in contact with bowhunters, and measuring their animals for possible entry into the Pope and Young Club records program. These skilled volunteers are trained to measure all 29 big game species of North America.

In 1985, the Pope & Young Club began measurer training seminars to educate potential new measurers, focusing on accuracy and integrity in measuring, which is vital to truly be able to compare these trophies against one another. Hisey was one of the original instructors, and has continued to train new measurers over the last 31 years, in total training over 700 of the Club’s 800 official measurers throughout North America.

look at highlighting the city’s new Veterans Memorial Park.

With Rushford’s position on three state highways, including the main Highway 43 corridor, coordination with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to keep within specific parameters has been something of a challenge. Signage must conform utilizing specific fonts, arrows, distance from other signs and intersections, reflectivity, and height among other guidelines.

“We’ve been working on this for some time,” noted Hengel.

“We had hoped to go with a local manufacturer, but when they started imposing standards it made it difficult.” The chamber will ultimately be contracting with either MnDOT directly for the signs or working with the firm of Earl F. Andersen, whom the city contracts with.

The council has accepted the Planning Commission’s recommendation to hold a public hearing to consider adoption of an ordinance opting-out of the state’s new ordinance on Temporary Family Health Care Dwelling. The city had the option to either approve the state’s ordinance or hold a hearing and approve its own ordinance on the matter. The state statute kicks into effect September 1 unless city’s opt out.

“Most cities are opting opt,” indicted City Clerk Kathy Zacher. It was also indicated by Zacher that legislation on the dwellings is separate from definitions and guidelines on Tiny Homes. “These are two totally different things. This is a temporary housing unit.”

“No one seems to be embracing it,” added Mayor Chris Hallum. “It’s a solution looking for a problem.” The hearing has been scheduled for September 12.

The council also reviewed a number of EDA items. These include a Loan Status Review of Village Auto Line of Credit.

The EDA had approved the line of credit to help finance the purchase of vehicles, but the business is now closed. $1,600 is owed to the EDA from the business and its owner, Todd Baker.

At the meeting, it was indicated that the EDA is attempting to make contact with Baker and a letter has been sent requesting

he begin making payments on the line of credit balance due. “If we don’t get cooperation, there is legal action,” noted Zacher.

A review of Rushford Hypersonix indicated that the forbearance period earlier granted to the company expired July 1.

No paperwork or requests have been received as requested by the EDA. A Notice of Right to Cure Loan Default will be sent and must be cured within 30 days. If not, the loan will be turned over to the city council for legal action for collection.

Monday, August 29, 2016 Lastly, Southeast Minnesota Historic Bluff County has requested forbearance of 12 months the organization proceeds with receipt of restitution from losses. The EDA approved a forbearance period of nine months. Administrator Chladek noted that the organization is not eligible for additional forbearance after this point.

The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, September 12, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Historic Pleasant Street Inn preserves a piece of Preston’s history

By Hannah Wingert Eric and Tara Corson never planned on becoming landlords, but when their backyard neighbor had problems selling her home after her husband passed away, they saw an opportunity to help her. They bought her house in 2008 with the intention of renovating and selling it. However, the housing market was down so they decided to

rent it out temporarily until they could sell. They quickly realized that there was a demand for nice rental homes in the area, and that they could help fill that need.

The Corsons continued to buy homes that needed renovations in Preston and the surrounding towns to give them new life before renting them out. “Some of the rentals end up being nicer than our house,” Tara laughed. They usually advertise their new rental homes on Facebook and Craigslist, but the demand has been so high for them that the last few were rented almost immediately with no advertising other than word-of-mouth.

Eric and Tara didn’t pay much attention to the big house right next to theirs that had been foreclosed on and was sitting empty until another neighbor of theirs mentioned that it still had the original fixtures, stained glass, hardwood floors, and more. “I’ve always been a history buff,” Eric said. “I saw the historical value of the house, and I wanted to preserve it.” The couple purchased it before Tara even had a chance to see the inside. But once the papers had been signed and she stepped through the front door, she was sold.

With all of the other homes the Corsons have purchased, they’ve done so with the intention of gutting and renovating them, but this one was different. They knew they had to preserve it and

work towards restoring it to its original beauty.

Because the house had been sitting empty for a while, Eric and Tara expected that the pipes would have frozen and burst, but upon inspection, only one section of pipe above the boiler in the basement had burst. Because of its location, all of the water in the pipes throughout the house drained out through it and preserved the rest of the plumbing. They did end up replacing the boiler, but were relieved that more repairs weren’t needed on the pipes.

The house did need a lot of repairs though. Carpets had to be removed and hardwood floors sanded down. Layers of wallpaper needed to be scraped off the walls, and the yard needed significant landscaping work. The first project they tackled was the preservation of a beautiful stained glass window in the dining room.

They built a covering to go over it outside to protect it from the elements as direct sunlight was breaking down the lead portions between the glass.

During the renovations, Eric and Tara were still undecided about what to do with the house.

It wasn’t until they took a trip to Atlanta, Ga., and stayed in some historic vacation homes that they realized what they wanted. When they returned from their vacation, they filed to have the property rezoned so they could turn it into

a vacation rental home.

“The restoration and renovations are ongoing,” Eric remarked.

“We roll the profit back into the house.” The kitchen and bathroom had been updated by previous owners. “They’re nice, but they don’t match the history of the house. We’re actually working on taking out the new and making them look old again,” he said, smiling.

“This has been such a blessing for us,” Tara said. “We got to restore and preserve a piece of history and we get to meet new people.” The Corsons are working on putting together a history of the house and would love to find pictures so they could be sure they’re restoring it back to the way it was. They were told it was originally built by a Norwegian bachelor and was later turned into a convalescent home, but are interested in finding out more details. One of the owners in recent years, the Every family, has rented the home for family gatherings several times and enjoy being able to return.

The first guests stayed at the Historic Pleasant Street Inn on June 23, 2015 and business has been good ever since.

“The vacation home is a great thing for Preston, too,” Eric said, adding that 95% of the guests are from out of town. They’ve even had guests from Brazil stay.

The Corsons encourage people to use local resources such as the

grocery store while they’re visiting. People like that the house is just a few blocks from the bike trail, river, and downtown Preston and allows them to enjoy the area while avoiding the crowds of Lanesboro.

“We help make memories,” Tara said about the Inn. A couple that stayed at the home with their college-aged son stands out in Tara’s mind because they were able to relax and enjoy their time together as a family and even played a game of hide-and-seek while they were there. “They were amazed at how clean every corner of the house was,” Tara laughed.

The Historic Pleasant Street Inn, located at 516 Pleasant St. in Preston, can sleep up to 10 guests in beds and more on couches and air mattresses if necessary. Guests are charged a flat fee of $295 a night during the busy months and $250 a night during the off season, which makes it a cost effective way for extended or larger families to get away together.

The Inn boasts amenities such as wifi, tvs in every bedroom with cable, a kitchen fully stocked with dishes and utensils, new appliances, a washer and dryer, a gas grill and firepit outside, and air conditioner units in most of the rooms. Tara’s mom, Pam Rasmussen even offers painting classes at the Inn for guests. Special deals are offered for stays longer than three nights. The Inn can be booked at homeaway.com.
