Letter about Harmony Residents Spoke. Was Anyone Listening?…

At Harmony’s recent public hearing regarding the proposed data center ordinance, residents did what we ask citizens to do in a democracy. They researched, prepared thoughtful remarks, showed up, and treated others, including the Planning & Zoning commissioners, with respect. For more than an hour, residents stood up to share their thoughts. Wanda Hanson, a reporter for The Fillmore County Journal, summarized the evening for the November 2, 2026, edition. As informative as the article was, it didn’t tell the entire story. As reported, after the public comment period, the Commission held a discussion. The article didn’t explain how brief that discussion was. Two of the five commissioners didn’t speak at all. Many of us left the room muttering, “That’s all?”

Aderman Hall pool currently needs $475,000 in repairs

The 112-year-old Aderman Hall pool at West Hills is in need of some updating. About 5,500 or more people use the West Hills pool annually for swimming lessons, water aerobics, family open swim and rentals, along with trainings for lifeguards and water safety instructors. “There’s really no practical indoor replacement in Owatonna for a pool,” Facilities and Fleet Director Patrick McDermott told the city council during its Wednesday study session. “The only other option — especially in the wintertime — would be the Owatonna Middle School, and that really does not have good access.” When the West Hills pool had to close in the spring for repairs, the local hotels with pools were contacted about availability for swimming lessons. “We got three responses with limited or no availability, and the remaining six did not respond,” McDermott said. “I think they just didn’t want the liability of making that a public pool within a hotel would be our assumption on that.” Large pool repairs history After its construction in 1914, the West Hills pool went about 84 years without record of major repairs. In 1998, a fiberglass pool liner was installed. In 2003, and ADA-compliant restroom and lift were installed thanks
