The map shows where the proposed bridge with roundabouts would be in relation to where the bridgecurrently sits. The new bridge will be slightly north (left on the map) of where it is now.

By Tawny MichelsZUMBROTA – The Minnesota

Department of Transportation(MnDOT) plans to replace theexisting bridge on Highway 58crossing over US Highway 52 inZumbrota. Additionally, MnDOTplans to upgrade the US 52 rampintersections near the end of thebridge. Construction will not be-gin until 2017.

The bridge has been deemedunsafe for pedestrians and bikersby the city and MnDOT. The cur-rent bridge offers minimal spacefor walking or biking, and somehave argued that the bridge is barelywide enough to provide safe driv-ing conditions for two-way traf-fic. City Administrator Neil Jensennoted that several years agoMnDOT put a fence up on thebridge over the railings to help

prevent falls of pedestrians off ofthe bridge, and also to aid in theevent of a motor vehicle crash,but this was only meant as a tem-porary solution to the bigger prob-lem.

While plans are still in the earlystages, they currently includeroundabouts on both the east andwest ends of the bridge, as well asextending the on/off ramps to al-low for easier transition gettingon and off the highway. Plans alsoinclude adding a ten-foot bikingand walking path on the north sideof the bridge, and a six-foot walk-ing path on the south side.

Mayor Rich Bauer told councilthat the bridge will be movedslightly north of its current loca-tion, which should limit any roadclosures in the area. This will al-low for area businesses to stay

open and ease residents’ commutesduring construction. This decisionwas made due to a recent trafficstudy that concluded that over11,500 vehicles and semis use theHighway 58 bridge on an averageday.

MnDOT lists the benefits to thechange as a safer bridge with widershoulders, improved bicycle/pe-destrian mobility, and improvedvertical clearance over US 52. Theylist the timeline as planning thedesign from fall 2015 to winter2016. Bids will then start in win-ter 2016 with construction lastingfrom summer 2017 to summer2018. The current cost estimate is$4.5-5.5 million.

Public meetings will be sched-uled to allow residents to ask rep-resentatives of MnDOT questionsregarding plans.

Crossings honored with Outstanding Greater Rochester Arts Award

Crossings at Carnegie in Zumbrota won the Outstanding Greater Rochester Arts Ardee Award, honoring itsfifteen years as a venue for the arts. Crossings staff members accepting the award are, front row: VickiBlazing, Amy Tudor, Missy Hagen, owner Marie Marvin, and Brigida Travo; back row: Paulette Sable, TracyCalmes, Susan Evans, and Valerie McCarty.

ZUMBROTA – Crossings atCarnegie owner and director MarieMarvin was honored Tuesday,October 20, as someone who hasdone outstanding work to promotearts in the greater Rochester areaat the third annual Ardee awardsbanquet. Crossings won the Out-standing Greater Rochester ArtsAward, honoring its fifteen yearsas a venue for visual arts, concertsby national and regional musicians,written works, theatrical perfor-mances, classes, and camps foryouth. The Ardee awards arenamed after Rochester’s mayor,Ardell Brede, a strong proponentof the arts.

When accepting the award at“The Fete” at the Rochester CivicCenter, Marvin noted that shestruggled as a teenager to find herplace, but creating art gave herthe means to find the person withinherself who was capable of ac-complishing something meaning-ful.

“I have no college, no trainingexcept life, and art,” she said.

Behind all her efforts at Cross-ings is a dedication to create ahaven where the arts can becomea transformative force in people’slives.

Ardee Awards honor the verybest in the visual and performingarts and the humanities and thosewhose support through leadership,education, and collaboration havehad a significant impact on theseendeavors, according to the Roch-ester Arts Council, organizers ofthe awards.

Marvin opened Crossings atCarnegie in 2001 after purchas-ing the former library building topreserve the historic structure.Since then, she has worked manya late night and early morning tocreate a space for artists of all kinds,whether offering exhibit space toemerging and established visualartists, conducting classes in allthe arts for those wanting to learnmore, running a clay studio forceramists, or bringing in musiciansin most every genre to perform

concerts nearly every week of theyear.

“My goal was to create a placewhere folks in my hometown,Zumbrota, could come togetherand build community,” Marvinsaid. “I’ve been able to meet somany of this region’s talented art-ists and to bring their work to anadmiring public. My favorite partof the job is calling an artist to tellthem their piece has sold, becauseit gives them validation. This awardlet me know I am making a differ-ence.”

Awards were given in nine cat-egories, each having three selectednominees. Crossings also wasnominated for the People’s ChoiceAward this year, making it the onlydouble nominee. The art centerand gallery also was nominatedfor the Outstanding Greater Roch-ester Arts Award in 2013, thefirst year for the awards.

“I remember one day not longafter I opened the doors of Cross-ings, walking along Zumbrota’s

Main Street, and thinking to my-self that I was finally doing what I

was meant to do. It’s a feelingthat’s never left me, and I feel so

lucky to be able to do what I do,”Marvin said.

By Sandy HadlerRED WING – There was good

news at the October 20 GoodhueCounty Board meeting. The com-missioners were pleased to hearthat South Country’s health careprogram for low income peoplewill continue to serve GoodhueCounty residents.

In late July, South Country hadbeen dropped by the MinnesotaDepartment of Human Servicesas an option for Goodhue Countyand ten other counties in Minne-sota that are served by South Coun-try. The commissioners were con-cerned about this, as South Coun-try has provided excellent insur-ance coverage, has kept costs down,and has proven to be helpful andreliable to the county and those itinsures.

Commissioner Dan Rechtzigeland Nina Arneson were thankedfor the time they spent on an ap-peal that reversed the state’s deci-sion to eliminate South Country.Thanks to their efforts and that ofothers, South Country has regainedits contracts for MinnesotaCareand Medical Assistance in alleleven of their member counties.

Chairman Ted Seifert said, “Weare very happy.” Rechtzigel, whospent many hours fighting to keepSouth Country, responded, “It wasworth it.”County attorney’s officeto go paperless

County Attorney StephenBetcher said the court system hasbeen working to implement the

latest generation of electronic fil-ing systems for documents in thedistrict courts. They now have inplace the technical capabilities forhis office to begin using the e-filing system, which will allowthem to go to a paperless mode.Everything that is filed with thecourt will now be filed electroni-cally.

In the past, Betcher said everytime the courts have upgraded theirsystems, they have wanted a newagreement with the county. Betcherasked, and was authorized to signany future agreements, as long asthey are ancillary and related tothe latest agreement.

Seifert asked if there is a directcost to the county. Betcher saidthere is none. He thought therewould probably be a savings, be-cause records will no longer haveto be scanned or stored.

Seifert remained skeptical. Heasked if Betcher would come backto the commissioners if there is afee imposed. Betcher responded,“Certainly.”

Commissioner Ron Allen said,“We (the county board) did it yearsago. Going paperless is great.”

The commissioners all voted infavor of the motion to allow thecounty attorney’s office to gopaperless.Cannon Valley Trail grant approval

Scot Roepke, trail manager forthe Cannon Valley Trail, askedthe county commissioners for theirsupport so he can apply for a 2015Greater Minnesota Regional Parks

and Trails Commission Grant toupgrade the master plan for thetrail. The original master plan wascreated in 1986 and it was up-graded in 1992, but it has not beenupdated since. Because the grantwill come out of legacy fundmoney, Roepke needed the ap-proval of the county commission-ers in order to submit a grant ap-plication.

He said the cost of updating themaster plan is $50,000 and theCannon Valley Trail will be match-ing 25% of the cost, or $12,500out of their own funds. His re-quest for support was granted.

Commissioner Ron Allen said,“Over the years you’ve done afantastic job going after grants.Everyone here is appreciative ofhow much effort you put into thetrail. You bring in money fromoutside sources to maintain it.Without you there, it would notbe at the level it is.”

Goodhue County Public WorksDirector Greg Isakson pointed outthat because of the good job Roepkedoes with the trail, he can applyfor these lucrative grants. Isaksonsaid it is his goal to strive towardsgetting a “high” rating, so thecounty can begin to apply for thesetypes of grants for its parks sys-tem. Currently, because of its“medium” park rating, GoodhueCounty does not qualify for thesegrants.Pickup sale

The sale of the county’s 2007Chevy Silverado pickup, which

South Country will continue to serve Goodhue Countycarried surveying equipment andhas 104,000 miles on it, became apoint of contention.

It was noted that, on average,only 15,000 miles were put on thevehicle each year. Because themileage is relatively low, Ron Allenand Ted Seifert felt the countyshould keep it for several moreyears before selling it.

Isakson argued that it may needmajor repairs if it is kept longerthan what the schedule dictates.

Allen countered that not onlythe age of the vehicle, but the con-dition it is in, should determinewhen it is sold, not a rigid sched-ule that doesn’t always reflect ac-curately when a vehicle should besold.

Isakson said the county has 50pieces of equipment that are listedon a schedule which determineswhen those items are sold. It wouldbe time consuming to evaluate eachto determine if they should be soldat a different time than what theschedule says.

It was agreed that the countyshould look at updating its equip-ment schedule, since items likepickups are made to last longernow than they did in the past. Withproper maintenance, many of themremain in good working condi-tion much longer than in the past,despite accumulating considerablemileage.

Rechtzigel suggested that a com-mittee of the whole meet to dis-cuss capital replacement. Every-one was in agreement.

Allen said, “You can make acase for doing that.” But Isaksonpointed out that if the county startedto keep equipment longer, there isa chance it may start to have seri-ous problems that quickly becomeexpensive to fix.

He pointed out that the countykept a Cat last year and it cost$36,000 to repair. At the time, thecounty could have sold it for$46,000 and made a $10,000 profit.Instead the Cat has been used fora year and will be kept anotherfour years, and then will be soldfor around $36,000.Accident insurance

A request to allow county em-ployees to voluntarily purchaseaccident insurance was approved.The request was made because thecounty’s current insurance planhas a very high deductible. Em-ployees must pay the premium forthe accident insurance themselves.Land Use Management request

County surveyor Lisa Hanni hadrequested a zoning assistant re-placement, a request that had beentabled since the October 6 meet-ing. She again presented her re-quest to fill the position, and itwas granted.New hire

Jenny Hofschulte was hired asa detention deputy for the AdultDetention Center.Meeting time changed

Because of the upcoming elec-tion on November 3, the countycommissioners meeting, which isscheduled for that evening, willbe held from 4-6 p.m. at the court-

house. County administrator ScottArneson said if necessary, themeeting could be reconvened af-ter 8 p.m. when voting is over.

We’re not done yetTo the Editor:

While MnDOT may be consid-ering the pause button on Zip Rail,Olmsted County and North Ameri-can High Speed Rail (NAHSR)are not, as Rochester Mayor Bredeopenly advocating for NAHSRclearly demonstrates. Once againRochester/Olmsted County lead-ership either can’t or refuses tounderstand the legal, technical, andfiscal issues of this plan.

There is no existing right-of-

way on either southern corridorfor high-speed rail. It’s all privateproperty. Single source contract-ing law is real; MnDOT givingexclusive air negotiating rights goesagainst it. There has yet to be anynumbers put forth indicating a high-speed rail between Rochester andthe Twin Cities breaks even muchless earns enough for maintenanceand replacement. Any businessneeding “exclusive negotiatingrights” in order to get their busi-

ness plan in place either doesn’thave the credibility and/or fund-ing streams to do the project.

We may not always agree withMnDOT on everything, but theyare correct to not rush into this,especially for land that is not theirs.No folks, we’re not done yet. Thenext Citizens Concerned AboutRail Line meeting is November 5,6-8 p.m., at the Zumbrota VFW.

FromDevil’sKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

Traditional Republican

“And now something completelydifferent” ... (Thank you MontyPython) I felt it was time to goback to politics. I started thinkingabout the Republican Party andhow it has changed from 1974.We moved here from Wichita,Kansas, in 1974. I was a “true blue”Democrat, or at least I felt I was. Iwas an IBM system engineer fornine years. Then we moved here.Some might say I got into the right/wrong crowd here. I became aRepublican. It felt right to be aRepublican. Unlike in Kansas, Iwas beginning to not feel com-fortable being a Democrat.

Today I no longer feel comfort-able being a Republican. I am se-riously thinking of joining the In-dependence Party. My feelings areabout the issues today versus theissues back then. I question when

they changed and why. As a tradi-tional Republican, I agreed withthe platform of smaller govern-ment, less government involve-ment in our personal lives, andmore individual responsibility.Today I see a political party thatwants bigger government, lesspersonal freedom, and fewerchoices and no responsibility.

What is the difference betweena legal alien and an illegal one andhow can we resolve the problemof the illegal alien? The simpleanswer to these questions is quo-tas, country by country quotas. Thefix is easier, raise or eliminate thequotas.

We have had people on welfarerolls for too long. The family isboth broken and multi-generationalfor those on welfare. We don’treally know what a livable wageis because we want to compare itto CEO wages and not to workerwages. Many who dropped out ofschool don’t have a basic skill setto be able to work. For many ofthem, peer pressure taught themto play stupid until they became

stupid. We have to break the pat-tern to give the poor people a chanceto grow. It is not easy to break thepattern.

I don’t understand how the GOPmoved from wanting more per-sonal responsibility to “Whocares?” and you don’t need to ac-cept responsibility for your ownactions. It was accepting respon-sibility for your actions and theirconsequences that finally wokemany of the poor and broken torealize their mistakes. They be-gan to take charge of their lives.We all love the Biblical quote of“Give a man a fish and he will eatfor a day. Teach a man to fish andhe will eat every day.” But, I con-tend, we don’t know what the quoteis telling us to do. We also enjoythe feeling of giving the fish ver-sus training and then not givingthe fish. The quote leads us into adark corner and we can’t find ourway out.

The GOP has lost its way andstrangers are trying to lead us outbut they seem to be taking us fur-ther into the dark.Until next week.

To the Editor: I would like to commend the

mayor and Zumbrota City Coun-cil for resisting the garbage mo-nopoly scheme being promotedby the City of Red Wing and theMinnesota Pollution ControlAgency. ( I am not sure how tointerpret the role of GoodhueCounty.)

Burning garbage is NOT pref-erable to landfilling (dumping).Incineration is expensive, does noteliminate landfilling (that’s wherethe ash goes), and causes health-damaging air emissions.

I’m a Red Wing resident andwould like to be able to supportthe city I live in. But Red Wing’sunending attempts to build a gar-bage empire at the expense of therest of Goodhue County are wayout of line.

A little history: Red Wing builta municipal garbage incineratorin the early 1980s. This burnerhung like a millstone around thenecks of Red Wing residents untilit was finally, and thankfully, shutdown in 2013. The city had lob-bied to force Goodhue Countycommunities to send garbage there,and even tried to get the MPCA tosend Twin Cities garbage to RedWing for burning. Red Wing cur-tailed library hours, stopped send-ing out a newsletter, stopped springand fall cleanup collections, andcurtailed other services, while

spending (wasting) hundreds ofthousands of dollars each yearsubsidizing the incinerator.

One would think that with theshutdown of the municipal burner,the City of Red Wing would havelearned it’s lessons. Apparentlynot.

More background: Xcel energyburns garbage in Red Wing,Mankato, and LaCrosse, Wiscon-sin, in converted 1940s coal powerplants. Most of the garbage burnedin Red Wing comes from Ramseyand Washington counties, but thisis not enough to keep the burnerfully occupied. Emissions are highand permits are lax. The air emis-sions permit for the Red Winggarbage burner expired in 2009,and the Mankato permit expiredin 2007. Very few utilities are inthe garbage incineration business,and this is a strange and disgrace-ful activity for a utility claimingto be “green” and environmen-tally responsible. It seems equallyshameful and hypocritical for theMPCA to seek increased incin-eration in Red Wing while notkeeping the permits up to date.

Health-damaging emissionsfrom the Red Wing burner in re-cent years (the MPCA is not keep-ing the information up to date) areabout 1.5 million pounds per yearincluding, recently, 69 pounds oflead, 16,000 pounds of hydrochlo-ric acid, and over one million

pounds of oxides of nitrogen. Moredetails at http://www.alanmuller.com/update-on-washingtonramsey-county-gar-bage-grinderincineration-scam/

The scenario cooked up by theMPCA, Xcel, and the City of RedWing involves a “flow control”ordinance requiring all of the gar-bage generated in Goodhue Countyto be sent to the City of Red Wingfor grinding up, then to Xcel forburning. (To understand thisscheme, know that under a USSupreme Court decision, flowcontrol can only be used to forcegarbage to go to publicly ownedfacilities. Thus, garbage could notbe flow controlled directly to Xcel,a private business, but it could besent to a garbage grinding opera-tion owned by the City of RedWing.)

To force Goodhue County toadopt this scheme, the MPCA iswithholding recycling funds fromthe county. In other words, to makemore incineration happen, thePollution Control Agency is ob-structing recycling, which is whatshould be done with the greatmajority of our wastes.

This scheme, if put in place,would substantially increase dis-posal costs, eliminate competition,and expose Zumbrota residents tounclear future costs and liabilties.

I respectfully urge you to standfirm against this scheme.

I would be happy to address thecouncil and answer questions ifthat would be helpful to you. Moreinformation is also available onmy website: alanmuller.com. Thiswas my testimony on March 10,2015, to the Minnesota SenateEnvironment and Energy Com-mittee on S.F. 1132: http://www.alanmuller.com/garbage-in-the-minnesota-legislature/

Advice for City of Zumbrota

AsThe Worm

TurnsBy Jeanne Truestedt

Garden glitz

Under serious threat by mydaughters to toss all of the familyglass and crystal cartons down inthe basement into a dumpster uponmy demise, I decided to bring theboxes to light this summer to seeif anything could be done with thecontents. After a run through thedishwasher, and a week spent sit-ting on the porch awaiting trans-formation, they were re-purposedfor duty in the garden.

Lead crystal is heavy, sparkly,and not easily damaged. It alsofrightens critters with all that glitzydazzle. And with a little help fromGOOP marine glue, it makes mar-velous sculptures to welcome visi-tors to the garden.

While on assignment in Ger-many in the early 1980s, I sawmany ingenious animal deterrentsin neighborhood gardens. Holo-graphic ribbons to scare off birdswas one of my favorites becauseit was inexpensive and festivehanging from tree branches. Un-fortunately, they lasted only untilit rained, but the concept worked.Lead crystal is engineered to lastmuch longer than that.

A vase attached to a plate orplatter makes a sturdy base thatwill support bowls (for birdbathor feeder options), finials, or fig-ures of animals, angels or flow-ers. Colored glass pieces add an-other dimension. Adding a coat ofnail polish to surfaces not exposedto the elements can make the fac-ets look like stained glass. Juststacking the various pieces beforegluing them together makes for afun afternoon break. But once youstart to glue, make sure your sculp-

ture can stay undisturbed for atleast two days, because it will takea long time to properly dry.

Why use lead crystal outsidewhere it might get damaged? Itlooks fabulous in the sunshine, isheavy enough to withstand strongwinds, doesn’t mind water (justhose it down if it gets dirty), andkeeps pesky critters away as anextra bonus. It also reflects thehappiness of the memories madewhen it graced special family oc-casions.

Yes, this was the right time tobring the boxes back to light be-cause beauty is meant to be seen,to dazzle, and to enjoy. These gar-den glitz pieces have now beenshared with gardening friends andmy daughters, and they brightenmy garden, too. But best of all,they didn’t end up in a dumpsteror landfill. Even if it lasts onlyone season, it’s done more thanbeing buried in the basement!

Deer hunters encouragedto buy license early

DNR

With nearly 500,000 firearmsdeer hunters in the state, the Min-nesota Department of NaturalResources encourages hunters topurchase their licenses early toavoid long lines and any potentialsystem issues associated with thehigh sales volume. The 2015 Min-nesota firearms deer season be-gins Saturday, Nov. 7.

“There are usually lines of peoplewho wait to buy licenses until theThursday and Friday before thefirearms deer opener. Last yearwe sold more than 120,000 licenseson those two days,” said SteveMichaels, DNR licensing programdirector. “ Buying early lets you

avoid the lines and spend moretime getting ready to hunt. ”

Deer licenses can be purchasedat DNR license agents across Min-nesota, by phone at 888-665-4236or online at www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense. There are additionalfees for telephone and Internettransactions. Hunters who purchaselicenses by phone and Internet willreceive their deer license and tagsby mail, which can take three tofive b usiness days to arrive, sohunters who choose these optionsshould allow enough time for de-livery. Hunters must have a validdeer license and tag in their pos-session when hunting deer.

The information center and li-cense center at DNR headquar-ters in St. Paul will extend theirhours on opening weekend to ac-commodate additional phone callsfrom deer hunters. Phone lines willbe open on Friday, Nov. 6, until 8p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 7, from8 a.m. to noon.

Hunters need to be familiar withdeer hunting regulations, whichare available at any DNR licenseagent or online at www.mndnr.gov/regulations/hunting .

License questions should bedirected to the DNR InformationCenter at 651-296-6157 or 888-646-6367.

MINNESOTA DEER FACTSDeer: The animal

Adult female white-tailed deerweigh about 145 lbs., and malesweigh about 170 lbs.

The biggest white-tailed deerever recorded in Minnesota was a500-pound buck.

A whitetail’s home range is aboutone square mile.Deer hunting

There are nearly 500,000 fire-arms deer hunters in Minnesota.

Last year, 25 percent of Minne-sota firearm hunters successfullyharvested a deer. About 61 per-cent were antlered bucks.

70 percent of Minnesota’s fire-arms deer harvest typically occursduring the first three or four daysof the season.

The average hunter spends five

days afield during Minnesota’sfirearms deer season.

Last year’s total deer harvestwas about 140,000.

Because of a conservative2015season designed to boost thestatewide population, total deerharvest in 2015 is again anti cipatedto be relatively low. The DNR isprojecting total harvest to comein around 140,000 to 155,000 deer.

Hunters can register their deervia Internet, phone or at walk-inbig- game registration stations.

The largest typical whitetail buckever taken in Minnesota had aBoone & Crockett score of 202,shot by John Breen in 1918 nearFunkley.

Minnesota’s No. 1 non-typicalwhitetail buck had 43 points ,shot

by 17-year-old Mitch Vakoch in1974.Deer licenses

In total, about 628 ,000 deerhunting licenses and permits (alltypes) were sold in 2014.

96 percent of Minnesota deerlicenses are sold to state residents.

The two Mid-Southeast EastDistrict teams met again in theSection 1A quarterfinals on Tues-day in Rushford. The Wildcats kepttheir turnovers to just two, andthey were able to earn a narrow21-20 victory to advance to theSection 1A finals.

“It was a nail biter,” said CoachTony Poncelet. “On our last drivewe were successful on two fourthdown plays. One was fourth andfive on the 35 with a little over aminute to play, and the other wasfourth and goal on the two andCalvin Peterson punched that into tie the game. Mariano (Bigalk)kicked the PAT to keep our sea-son alive.”

After a scoreless first quarter,the Wildcats got on the scoreboardwhen Garrett Huemann plungedin from the one. Bigalk kicked thePAT for a 7-0 lead. But the Tro-jans came back on their next pos-session, scoring on a 28-yard runby Noah Carlson. The conversion

run failed.RP intercepted a pass late in the

second quarter and they turned itinto a 14-7 lead when Carlson ranin from the three. The Trojan con-version pass was good with 34seconds to play in the half.

Goodhue had two good drivesstopped on downs in the third quar-ter, but a Sam McNamara fumblerecovery in the fourth quarterturned the tide. Goodhue scoredon a one-yard run by Mason Hue-mann with Bigalk’s PAT knot-ting the score at 14.

Carlson struck again for RP,scoring on a 47-yard run, but thePAT kick failed to connect, withthe Trojans leading 20-14 with 4:31to play.

Goodhue then put together theirwinning drive with Peterson run-ning the ball in from the two with46 seconds to play.

Mason Huemann led Goodhue’srushing attack with 91 yards on24 carries. Garrett Huemann had79 yards on 14 rushes. Jacob Paschwas 5 of 12 passing for 70 yards.Nathan Altendorf made two re-ceptions for 50 yards.

fensive game with 17 tackles.Mason Huemann and Casey De-neen both made 12 tackles. SamMcNamara forced a fumble, re-covered a fumble and made sixtackles.

“Noah Carlson can score anytime he is on the field. He was thebest player in the conference thisseason,” said Coach Poncelet ofthe junior running back who fin-ished with 183 yards on 29 car-ries.Goodhue 21Rushford-Peterson 20

Goodhue saves their bestfor Section 1A title gameBy Faye Haugen

GOODHUE - Goodhue mayhave played their best game of theseason in a 29-0 win over Fill-more Central in the Section 1Afootball finals on Rochester, onSaturday.

The Wildcat defense was stel-lar, holding the Falcons to just 95total yards (82 passing, 13 rush-ing). The Cat offense rolled up387 yards (294 rushing, 93 pass-ing) with Mason Huemann hav-ing a huge rushing game with 204yards on 24 carries.

“I don’t think we could have,”said Coach Tony Poncelet whenasked if the defense could haveplayed better. “We had kids fly-ing all over the place to get to theball. To hold Fillmore Central tounder 100 yards is huge. This wasa total team effort.”

After a scoreless first quarter,the Cats scored when Sam Mc-Namara caught a pass from JacobPasch, running for a 34-yard TD.

“Nate Altendorf made a hugeblock that sprang Sam free afterhe caught the ball,” pointed outCoach Poncelet. “We knew wewere going to pass once we hadthe wind at our back in the secondquarter to loosen Fillmore Cen-tral up.” Mariano Bigalk missedthe PAT, but the sophomore kickercame through with a 27-yard fieldgoal when the Cat offense stalledlate in the half.

The Goodhue defense forced athree and out on the Falcon de-fense, and the Cat coaching staffquickly called a timeout with 1:17to play in the half. With four sec-onds to play, Pasch drifted a passto the end zone and Ryan Schoen-felder was able to stretch out andhaul the ball in for a 21-yard touch-down, that, with Bigalk’s PAT,made it 15-0 at the half.

“Again, Calvin Peterson madea huge block that allowed Ryan tomake that touchdown catch,” re-marked Poncelet.

How much did Goodhue domi-nate in the opening half? Theyheld a 220 to 16 advantage in yardsgained.

The second half was much likethe first. The third quarter wasscoreless, but at the beginning ofthe third quarter, Mason Huemannran in from the 11 for a 22-0 lead,and the Goodhue sophomorescored gain on a 12-yard run lessthan a minute later for a 29-0 ad-vantage.

“Mason has really become ourwork horse. He has always been atough runner, but he seems to havebetter vision on the field in sec-tion play,” praised Coach Ponce-let. In three section games, Ma-son Huemann has gained 439 yardson 60 carries.

Jacob Pasch was 7 of 10 pass-ing for 93 yards and two touch-downs. Ryan Schoenfelder madethree receptions for 37 yards anda touchdown, and Sam McNamarahad two receptions for 44 yardsand a touchdown.

Defensive standouts were Ca-sey Deneen with 10 tackles and afumble recovery, Nathan Alten-

dorf with eight tackles and a fumblerecovery, and Sam McNamara witha fumble recovery. The Cats had4.5 sacks in the win.

“Our secondary did a great jobof covering their receivers. Ourdefense didn’t give their quarter-back a lot of time to throw. Thekids knew their assignments andthey did them,” concluded CoachPoncelet.Goodhue 29 - Fillmore Central 0

Penalties kill KW at MapletonBy Faye Haugen

KENYON - For most of the sea-son the Kenyon-Wanamingo foot-ball team has stayed out of pen-alty trouble, but on Tuesdayevening penalties killed the Knightsin the Section 2AA quarterfinalsin Mapleton.

“We had our chances, but pen-alties hurt us,” lamented first-yearcoach Jake Wieme after the 17-14defeat. “We just couldn’t finishdrives, and it was a disappointingway to end the season.”

Maple River took a 7-0 lead ona three-yard pass from Jeff Lewisto Nick Steinhaus. The PAT madeit 7-0. Kenyon-Wanamingoquickly answered with a 65-yardpassing touchdown between LukeRechtzigel and Gavin Roosen, JackBuelke knotted the score at 7-7with his point after kick.

The Eagles scored just beforethe end of the quarter on a seven-yard pass from Lewis to Steinhausfor a 14-0 lead with 16 seconds toplay in the first quarter.

The Knights came back fromthe halftime break to knot the scoreat 14-14 on 33-yard run by JacobWhipple and Buelke’s kick. KWhad the chance to take the leadwhen Ted Androli ran 80 yards tothe end zone on a screen pass, buta penalty for a block in the backerased the score.

KW had another good scoringopportunity stopped in the fourthquarter. Facing first and goal fromthe 10, three straight penaltiespushed the Knights back to the30-yard line and killed the drive.

Maple River got the ball backlate in the fourth quarter and lookedto be stopped on the drive, but apass interference call gave theFalcons new life. With just eightseconds left in the game, Moorekicked a 33-yard field goal for a17-14 lead.

The Knights did their best in abad situation on the kickoff. Us-ing lateral passes, KW tried to getup the field, but the fourth lateralsailed out of bounds and endedthe game, 17-14.

“I thought we made some greatdefensive adjustments at the halfthat really shut Maple River down,”praised Coach Wieme. “It was agreat game. We just couldn’t pullit out in the end.”

KW held a 295-264 advantagein yards gained, rushing for 196yards. Ted Androli led the rush-ing attack with 93 yards on 14carries. Luke Rechtzigel was 4 of11 passing for 87 yards with onetouchdown. Androli made tworeceptions for 17 yards.

KW ends the season with an 8-2 record and a Mid-Southeast WestDistrict title.

“A number of our juniors andseniors really stepped up and played

well this season. I really think thatwe did improve from week toweek,” pointed out Coach Wieme,who added, “It was a fun year andI’m glad I took the head coachingjob. These kids had a great atti-tude all season., They worked veryhard, and they were fun to workwith.”

The Knights will graduate 12seniors in Luke Rechtzigel, KyleKeller, Mason Stevenson, TedAndroli, Jacob Whipple, BlakeJacobson, Christian Hilger, EthanBenda, Ryan Pelkey, Austin Jack-son, Seth Donkers and Jacob Alme.Kenyon-Wanamingo 14Maple River 17

GOODHUE – As we beginthe second half of the 2015Goodhue coed volleyball season,we find that things have notchanged.

Farm Kids and Dani took fiveof six sets without superstar man-ager, Merribeth Schrimpf, whowas with her junior varsity vol-

leyball team at a college match.Mikayla Tipcke returned home

for a long mid-term break fromcollege and filled in for her. And,she filled in well. Mik won theWoman of the Week honors,while helping the team hold ontofirst place.

“I forgot how tough the com-petition was! After filling in acouple of times last year, I thoughtI was ready to do it again. I hadto step up my game to even beable to help a little.”

Yes, young Tipcke, youhelped, a little. Your 98% serv-ing, your 52 set assists, and your15 kills were more than enoughhelp. And, they earned theWoman of the Week! Nice workfor just helping out!

Dan Evenson scored the Manof the Week honors. He had a

banner night, with 46 kills and32 digs. But, his team still suf-fered.

“Great though my talent is, Ican only carry this team so far!Good sets are missed by hittersand poor sets make it tough forme to keep my kill count up.But, I just keep trying to help uswin!”

Nice job, Dan. Bruce Kinlundcoached you well!

Pine Island/Oronoco

Pine Island approves civil defenseservice fee for new developmentsBy Alice Duschanek-Myers

PINE ISLAND – At the PineIsland City Council meeting onOctober 20, civil defense directorWayne King presented a proposalto amend Chapter 12 of the citycode to add a fee for installingcivil defense sirens in future de-velopments. The council approvedthe amendment of Section 12.40– Payment for Installation of Im-provements.

In the amendment, a fee for theinstallation will be charged pereach lot or benefiting property toreimburse the city for the cost ofinstalling and maintaining a civildefense siren emergency warningsystem. The fee will be set annu-ally in the city’s fee schedule andwill be paid from the developer’sescrow account, unless there areother responsible parties designatedin a fully executed developmentcontract. The amendment goes intoeffect as soon as it is legally pub-lished by the City of Pine Island.

King said the cost of a siren andinstallation is about $21,000. “Thiswill not include citizens now cov-ered by sirens. The expense nowwill go to the area the new siren isin,” he said. Each resident in anew development will pay a por-tion of the cost.

King also reported that the si-rens are checked weekly and testednormally. The preferred volumeis 70 decibels. However, at thenew school the volume from theclosest siren is only 56 decibels.For emergency management, herequested funding for some weathermonitor radios for the denser popu-lated areas and the preK-4 build-ing on 125th Street. For the weatherradios to be effective it will beimportant to have someone respon-sible to listen to the monitors. Fornow, a new siren for the new schoolhas been taken out of the civil de-fense budget.

October civil defense reportKing reported that the Flood

Control Committee is working ona river dredging project that lookspromising for 2016. Once the 2016budget starts and funds are avail-able, they will apply for permits.The committee is researching op-tions for equipment to fill sand-bags. They are also researchingpossible grants for more work onthe Zumbro River.

The Sentence-to-Serve programwill start work on river cleanupsometime in the week of October26-30.

Plans are to install the old PineIsland Cemetery gates at the newZwart Park. King is working onacquiring grant funds to developa parking lot there. Scott Zwart ishelping make signs for the gates.

King said that the river moni-tors are reporting in and the Na-tional Weather Service in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, has been us-ing the data from the monitors inPine Island. Civil defense has hadissues getting the information puton the city website. King hopes tohave the data online soon. Onehydrologist from La Crosse andone from Chanhassen will visitPine Island in October while theriver monitor system is winter-ized.Public works

Street superintendent ToddRobertson reported that PublicWorks started flushing fire hy-drants on October 19.

The water main loop to the newpreK-4 school has been completed.Street crews have started work onBioscience Drive, adding morelayers over the water utilities toavoid freezing this winter.Robertson said the street depart-ment had to fix a few gate valvesalong with hauling the rock to coverthe water main. They are nearlyfinished with this project.

The streets in the 2015 NW streetimprovement project are paved.The final lift of bituminous willbe added in the spring of 2016.Street maintenance projects arenearly finished. There are a fewareas that need sand and gravelbefore winter. City engineers arecontacting the contractor to getthis finished.

The street department jetted andcleaned the sanitary sewer linesin the southwest and northwestsections of town. They will win-terize the parks by the end of Oc-tober. The creamery building willbe done first to have it ready tostore equipment and the wintervehicle that must be in a heatedenvironment.Engineering

City engineer Neil Britton re-

ported on the utility loop for thenew preK-4 school. The loop isall done, but the city will still holdthe 5% ($15,000) retainage for theproject. The council approved thefinal pay estimate of $106,223.83to Heselton Construction for theproject. City Administrator DavidTodd said the city’s portion of thecost is 31%. The total contractamount for the project was$1,169,905.55.

City engineer Craig Britton pre-sented the costs calculated for thereconstruction of First Avenue NWbetween West Center Street andThird Street NW, First Street NWbetween Second Avenue NW, andMain Street (CSAH 62) and Sec-ond Street NW between SecondAvenue NW and Main Street(CSAH 62). The estimated costfor these improvements is$968,798. The estimated expenseto be incurred in making theseimprovements is $290,639. Thetotal estimated cost of the improve-ments is $1,259,437.

The council approved the as-sessment and ordered preparationof the proposed assessment for thisproject. The city’s portion wasdeclared to be $924,296. The costsassessed to the benefitting prop-erty owners were $335,141. Thecouncil set a public hearing onthese proposed assessment forNovember 5 at 5:30 p.m.

Craig Britton recommendedadding a pedestrian crosswalkacross North Main Street at theBetter Brew Coffeehouse corner.It would be changed to an all-waystop at this corner with striping.There would be lighted pedestriansigns and handicapped accessibleramp curbs. The city has been incontact with Goodhue County andis considering installing the inter-section on a temporary, trial ba-sis.

The council discussed concernsover the condition of a tree thatwas left in the NW street project.The homeowner requested the treebe saved from removal. Accord-ing to city code, the homeowneris responsible for the tree, not thecity. Joel Knox thanked CraigBritton for taking the time andaccommodating the requests ofhomeowners in these projects.

The council approved the #6 payestimate of $323,893.44 toSchumacher Excavating for the2015 NW street project. CraigBritton said there are punch listitems to do on the project and someissues with the new sod. The sodhas not been paid for yet. A sec-ond lift will go on the streets inspring 2016. There should be an-other lift added on 8th Street SWbefore it snows.

Potential deal between Oronoco andtransportation company moves forwardBy Karen Snyder

ORONOCO – The only publicpresent at the public hearings thatpreceded the October 20 OronocoCity Council meeting were repre-sentatives of C. H. RobinsonWorldwide, Inc. (CHR), a globaltransportation business seeking asite to build a 32,000 square footdata center. Oronoco is a strongcandidate if the terms suit bothparties.

During the public hearings onthe potential agreement, CHR’srepresentatives assured the coun-cil that the company would okaythe changes the city wanted. Fol-lowing the hearings, the councilsaid yes to establishing a nine-year, $752,000 TIF to help CHRfund the project.

The council also adopted busi-ness subsidy criteria, provisionsthat CHR will pay the city’s prepa-ration costs (legal, engineering,etc.).

In a third vote, councilors ap-proved the development agreementand authorized the law firm ofBriggs and Morgan to write it up.

The vote on each resolution was4-0, with councilor SkylerBreitenstein abstaining because hisemployer has a connection to CHR.

Though the outlook appearssunny, any celebrating is prema-ture, cautioned city clerk/treasurerSandy Jessen. The deal will notbe done until signatures on legaldocuments assure it.

If the deal does get done, CHRwill build its data center at ThirdAvenue Southwest and 100thStreet. The facility will support

worldwide operations and employseven to ten workers at averageannual salaries of more than$100,000.New fire engine

During Fire Prevention Week,the public got a look at Oronoco’snew fire truck. “I think they likedit,” Fire Chief Dan Sundt said.

Then despite its admirers, therig was taken out of town to getequipment installed and make aguest appearance at the Minne-sota State Fire Chiefs AssociationConference in Duluth. “They askedif they could borrow it to show itoff,” Sundt said. “It’s a nice truck.”Outstanding Citizen Award

Breitenstein suggested appoint-ing two councilors and three com-munity members to the Outstand-ing Citizen Award Committee andexpressed his wish to serve as acouncil rep. Mayor KevinMcDermott nominated councilorsBreitenstein and BeauHanenberger, and both receivedunanimous approval. The threecommunity members, yet to bechosen, must live in Oronoco.Council hikes numberof stipend-eligible meetings

Starting January 1, 2016, themayor and councilors will eachreceive $25 for every special com-mittee and city business discus-sion meeting attended, up to 60meetings per year. The stipend,which will stay the same, currentlycovers 48 meetings and doesn’tapply unless the meetings last atleast an hour.

Annual salaries ($1,500 for themayor and $1,200 for each coun-

cilor) are unchanged.Council’s approval was unani-

mous.Other business

The undertaking of organizingGold Rush Days has outgrowncoordinator Carol Olson’s homeoffice. Because the annual antiqueshow benefits the city – at least$25,000 a year, Breitenstein said– councilors gave unanimous con-sent to let Olson use some officespace at the community center.They set the rent at $100 a year.

Sundt requested the council’sauthorization to spend $850 fromfire department funds for asbes-tos abatement at the former LakeShady Park’s caretaker house, “sothat we can train/burn it.” Thecouncil, which had already sen-tenced the house to destruction,agreed unanimously to the expen-diture and the training burn thatwill happen next spring.

The council agreed 5-0 thatOronoco will pay the OlmstedCounty Sheriff’s Office for lawenforcement services. Cost in 2016will be $50,031 and in 2017,$51,532.

Van Horn Public Library Di-rector Morgan Hansen’s project,to install five little free libraries inPine Island and Oronoco, woncouncilors’ unanimous approval.They also asked for more infor-mation: How many little librariesin Oronoco and where?

The council will hold its nextregular meeting at 7 p.m. Novem-ber 17, at Oronoco City Hall/Com-munity Center.

By Alice Duschanek-MyersPINE ISLAND – On October

20, librarian Morgan Hansen re-quested the city council’s permis-sion to put a suggestion box incity hall. She said the Van HornLibrary Board requested two boxesto gauge residents’ support for a

new library facility. The othersuggestion box will most likelybe at Better Brew Coffeehouse.The council approved the request.

Hansen said the board has beentaking online input from the com-munity. There is an online peti-tion for residents to sign support-

ing the need for a new, larger fa-cility on the library’s website athttp://pineisland.lib.mn.us (listedunder Library Links on the rightside of the page).

Hansen said the board feels theonline petition is not available toanyone without internet service

Van Horn Library wants residents’ support for a new buildingor who is unaware it exists. Theboard wants more community in-put for direction and planning, andto provide to the city council asevidence that a new building is apriority to the citizens.

A needs assessment was com-pleted on the 100-year-old librarybuilding in 2012. The mayor andcouncil are aware that the com-munity has outgrown the build-ing, that space restrictions ham-per services there, and that somelibrary activities and programsmust be moved to other areas inthe city.

The library is in the process ofplanning another “One Town, OneTitle” community reading celebra-tion. The planning committee se-lected and is researching five pos-sible themes for the reading.

City council businessCity administrator David Todd

recommended pay increases to thepersonnel committee for StephaniePocklington, Carol Krueger, andKrista Rowe. The council approved$1.00/hour increases forPocklington and Krueger, and a$0.50/hour increase for Rowe.

Todd told the council he wasunable to find any city policies foremployee pay increases and re-views. The League of MinnesotaCities requires cities to have poli-cies and a solid pay scale in place.He established an employee re-view schedule that is now on file.It will coincide with the annualbudget cycle.

The council discussed optionsfor the Ortega trailer that is beingstored by the city. Bids were taken,

but no bid submitted will coverthe city’s legal, removal, and stor-age costs. The city is discussingoptions to use the trailer.

Jerry Vettel said there has beenvandalism at the creamery sincethe skate/bike park was opened.The council discussed adding morelight and surveillance to managethe problem. Law enforcement willkeep a closer eye on the activitiesat the skate/bike park.

Economic Development Author-ity Director Nate Carlson is in-vestigating twelve possible sitesfor the Minnesota Veterans andEmergency Services Museum.However, he has had difficultygetting in contact with the MVESMBoard of Directors. He also re-ported that two parties are inter-ested in developing a downtownhousing project.

Applying nitrogen fertilizer in the fall is alose-lose scenario in southeast Minnesota

With Minnesota’s corn harvestmore than half complete, it’s timeto start thinking about other fallfarm tasks.

To help you start planning, Uni-versity of Minnesota ExtensionNutrient Management SpecialistFabián Fernández has publisheda guide to fall nitrogen applica-tion, which explains where, when,how, and how much nitrogen toapply in the fall. Here in southeastMinnesota, the answer to all thosequestions is simple: don’t.

In southeast Minnesota coun-ties – Dakota, Goodhue, Wabasha,Olmsted, Winona, Fillmore, andHouston—applying nitrogen fer-tilizer in the fall is not recom-mended based on established BestManagement Practices (BMPs):http://z.umn.edu/SENBMPs

Why not? As Dr. Fernándezputs it, “The soil is not a verygood place to store nitrogen.” Othernutrients, like phosphorus andpotassium, tend to bind to soilparticles, but nitrogen doesn’t stayput for long. It can be lost to theatmosphere or leeched out of thesoil by spring rains. Corn takes upmost of the nitrogen it needs afterthe V8 stage in late spring. Soapplying nitrogen in the fall leavesa long window of time for thatnitrogen to be lost from the soilbefore the crop’s roots can get toit.”

In southeast Minnesota, thisproblem is exacerbated by our rela-tively wet climate and coarse-tex-tured soils. The nitrate form ofnitrogen moves with water, andsoutheast Minnesota gets more rainthan any other part of the state.We also have sandy or silty soilson top of fracture-prone limestoneor sandstone bedrock, all of whichallows water to leech nitrogenbelow the crop’s root zone morequickly than in other parts of Min-nesota. Once the nitrogen leechesbelow the root zone, it’s of no useto the crop and at risk of movingdeeper into groundwater.

That’s a lose-lose scenario forthe farm’s bottom line and for waterquality. Efficient use of inputs iscrucial to maximizing return oninvestment. In addition, DakotaCounty’s well-water testing cam-paign has found some wells withnitrate concentrations alreadyabove the EPA’s limit for drink-ing water, which makes efficientuse of fertilizers crucial for re-sponsible stewardship.

Surveys show that most farm-ers are already on board with thisrecommendation. Only a smallpercentage of farmers in south-east Minnesota still apply nitro-gen in the fall, based on surveysdone by University of MinnesotaExtension and the Minnesota De-partment of Agriculture. Most

farmers report that they apply theirnitrogen fertilizer in the spring andsummer, which is the recom-mended practice.

There are several recommendedtimes to apply nitrogen fertilizerin southeast Minnesota: pre-plant,at planting, and side-dress appli-cations can be used to split therecommended amount of nitrogenup into several “doses,” which canreduce the risk of loss in any onerain event.

Splitting nitrogen applicationsis especially recommended on ir-rigated sandy soils, where bothrisk of nitrogen loss and ease ofin-season fertilizer application aregreater. On irrigated sands, Ex-tension research has found thatsplitting results in equal or greatercorn yields compared to applyingall the nitrogen pre-plant, even witha nitrification inhibitor.

You can find all of U of MExtension’s nitrogen recom-mended BMPs online at http://z.umn.edu/Nrecs

The recommendations describedabove focus on commercial nitro-gen fertilizer. Manure is anotherimportant source of nutrients, in-cluding nitrogen, and organicmatter. To learn about Extension’srecommendations for applyingmanure as a fertility source, visithttp://z.umn.edu/MNmanure

“River” pays tribute to CaroleKing, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon

ZUMBROTA – Carole King,Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon:Three legendary songwriterswhose hits were performed by someof the biggest artists of the ’60sand ’70s. “River” pays tribute tothe songs they wrote and per-formed, on Saturday, November7, at 7:30 p.m. at the State The-atre.

“River” brings the songs, sto-ries and memories together on onestage. Three dynamic, top TwinCities singers – Rachel Holder,Deb Brown and Jana Anderson –pay tribute to the three stars. Backedby a stellar band, including anamazing saxophonist, “River” isa vocal tribute that is unforget-table.

While King, Mitchell and Simonhave an extensive list of works,

“River” will focus on their mostpopular pieces ... songs that takethe audience on a nostalgic jour-ney, remembering the women’smusic movement of the ’60s and’70s and their own prom, first kiss,wedding, heartaches, and other lifeexperiences.

The audience will hear songssuch as “You’re So Vain,” and“Nobody Does it Better,” hits byCarly Simon, “Will You Still LoveMe Tomorrow,” and “NaturalWoman,” by Carole King, and“Help Me,” and “Both Sides Now,”by Joni Mitchell.

With very little history of per-forming together and not neces-sarily close friends, these threegreat songwriters shared manysimilarities that changed the mu-sic industry, especially for women.

All three had domineering moth-ers, difficult family decisions andintense relationships with men, yetthrough the decades they contin-ued to craft timeless songs thatstay with us today.

DNR QUESTION OF THE WEEKQ: I’ve heard that fall is a good

time to remove buckthorn on myland. What’s the best way to tryand control buckthorn?

A: There are two types of invasive buckthorn in Minnesota.Common buckthorn is easily foundin late fall when many native shrubsan d trees have lost their leaves.Common buckthorn will often havegreen leaves through November.Glossy buckthorn does not staygree n as late as common buck-thorn. Use caution as many nativetrees look similar to buckthorn,and some native trees hol d theirleaves into the winter. Before youcut, make sure you know you arecutting buckthorn and not a na-tive tree.

Buckthorn plants two inches indiameter or larger can be controlled

by cutting the stem at the soil sur-face and then treating the stumpwith herbicide or covering thestump to prevent re-sprouting. Thiscan be effectively done with handtools, chain saws or brush cutters.Stumps should be treated immediately after cutting (within twohours) with an herbicide contain-ing triclopyr (many brush killers,Garlon 3A or 4) or glyphosate(Roundup and others) to preventre-sprouting. An alternative if onlycutting a few stumps is to coverthem with a tin can or black plastic to prevent re-sprouting. Forsmaller plants, pulling or apply-ing herbicide are good options forcontrol.

Jeff Leland has previ-ously served and hopes to returnfor another term. Below areunedited statements that were sub-mitted by the candidates.John Champa

Hello! My name is John Champaand I am interested in serving thePine Island community as a SchoolBoard member. I have been a resi-dent since 1972, where I attendedschool in Pine Island through sixthgrade.

Iam running for a second term onthe School Board because I be-lieve in our school, share the samecore values as our community, andI would like the opportunity tocontinue facilitating positivechange within our school district.I am very proud of the success wehave had improving our schoolfacilities, technology infrastruc-

ture, and overall culture withinour school during my first term.For quality education to continuein Pine Island, it is imperative thatour administration, staff, schoolboard, parents, and communityleaders continue to work togethertowards common goals. I am com-mitted to providing the leadershiprequired to define the vision, cre-ate positive synergy, and produceresults by making sound decisionsbased on the following core val-ues:

• I believe our community’s mostimportant responsibility is edu-cating our children.

• I believe we should strive forexcellence in every aspect of ourSchool.

I will proudly represent PineIsland if I am elected. If you sharemy vision, values and commit-ment for excellence, I would greatlyappreciate your support in theNovember 3rd election.Kim Fall

As my first term as a member ofthe Pine Island School Board comesto a close, I decided to take time toreflect on the past four years andthe many accomplishments withinthe Pine Island School District. Itis my belief that our District isthriving at this time and I’m ex-cited about our future. Our boardhas defined a new vision and mis-sion, along with a strategic planthat clearly outlines District aimsand initiatives. We have a verystrong administrative team in placewith excellent leadership skills anda “lead by example” mentality.We have added courses at all lev-els to improve our curriculum of-ferings so our students have thetools they need for success aftergraduation. The environment, bothfor staff and students, has vastlyimproved in the past few years.We have made great strides in tech-nology in the classroom, and our1-1 device initiative has been verywell-received. We have been re-sponsible financially – taking greatcare to balance our budget and

spend tax dollars wisely. Last, butnot least, we collaborated with ourcommunity to pass a bond refer-endum that allows us to solve thefacility needs that we have facedfor many years and provide anoutstanding learning environmentfor our students.

In the past four years I’ve beenactively involved in many of thesechanges, serving on the followingcommittees: District Facility Plan-ning Team, Finance Team, Com-munication and CollaborationCommittee, Technology Commit-tee, Negotiations Committee andCommunity Planning Team. I’mproud of our accomplishments andexcited about the direction we areheading as a District. The PineIsland School District has becomea leader among our peers, and isfocused on excellence in educa-tion. While we have accomplishedso much in the past few years, Ibelieve that our work is still notdone. We need to continue to evolvein order to meet the changing needsof our students, staff and commu-nity. We need to design and com-plete facility upgrades to our 5-12building. We need to stay focusedon our district goals and continueto work together for success withHigh Student Achievement, Col-laboration and Communication,and Effective and Efficient Op-erations. If I am elected to serveanother term on Pine Island’s Boardof Education, I will continue todevote time and energy to makeour District the best that it can be.Jeff Leland

I grew up on a farm outside asmall farming communityin southern Minnesota namedBricelyn. After high school, Iattended Mankato State Univer-sity where I received my Bach-elor of Arts degree and ConcordiaUniversity in St. Paul, MN whereI earned a Master of Arts Degreein Organizational Management. Ihave held a variety of professionalpositions including emergencyservices in the public and privatesectors, as well as for-profit andnon-profit companies. I have heldadjunct faculty positions withRochester Community & Techni-cal College and St. Mary’s Uni-versity. For the past 10 years,I’ve worked for Mayo Clinic as aquality improvement analyst, op-erations manager for Quality Acad-emy now I am the Administratorfor Quality Management Services.

My wife and I moved to PineIsland in August of 1998 to raise

our growing family and to pro-vide them a high quality, publiceducation in a small town envi-ronment. We are grateful for theeducational experience our threechildren Mitch, Garrett and Meganfound with the Pine Island schooldistrict over the past 17 years.

I previously served on the PineIsland School Board from 2010thru 2013 including 2 years asBoard Chair. During this time, ourdistrict made significant changesand progress including a new stra-tegic plan, a new facilities masterplan and a new committee struc-ture aligned to the District Aimswhich increased involvement ofour teachers and staff.

As for priorities for the District,I believe the focus on high studentachievement will continue to benumber 1 for the District andthe next phase of our facility con-struction / remodeling is perfectlyaligned to that. The new pre-K - 4elementary facility which openedin September has been a tremen-dous advancement for our students.In addition, we want to continueto look for ways we can be evenmore effective and efficient withresources. Lastly, we want tocontinue to expand our communi-cation and collaboration with ourteachers, staff, parents, studentsand school district communitymembers.

I would consider it an opportu-nity to serve on the Pine IslandSchool Board again. Thank you.Rob Warneke

My name is Rob Warneke andhave lived in the Pine Island schooldistrict since 2000. I have threechildren still attending school inthe district in grades 5, 8, and 11.I have been a high school mathinstructor in the Byron school dis-trict since 1992.

For the last 4 years I have servedon the Pine Island school boardand have had the privilege to watchthe district improve its technol-ogy infrastructure, facilities, andcommunication within itself as wellas with the community.

My goal for the next three yearswill be the same as the one I startedwith four years ago; to help im-prove synergy between all levelsof leadership within the schooldistrict and to help communica-tion between the school and thecommunity. My message is thatthere is no one entity that can solveour issues, but that the solutionsrest in a collective effort by allparts of our community.

ZumbrotaNovember is NationalNovel Writing Month

November is National NovelWriting Month, otherwise knownas NaNoWriMo. A NaNoWriMowriting support group will meetat the Zumbrota Public Libraryevery Monday at 7 p.m. This groupis open to all ages. The first meet-ing will be November 2 in the youngadult corner.

Since 1999, writers around theglobe have taken the challenge ofwriting a novel in 30 days or lessthrough the NaNoWriMo program.The final word count goal for adultsis 50,000. For participating youth,the suggested word goal is 30,000.Last year 325,142 writers partici-pated in the program. Over 250

novels written as part of this pro-gram have been traditionally pub-lished, including such popular titlesas “Water for Elephants” by SaraGruen and “The Night Circus” byErin Morgenstern.

For the past two years a groupof young writers from Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School have takenon the NaNoWriMo challenge,mentored by local librarians. Manyof them met or exceeded their fi-nal word count goal. Even thosewho did not meet their final wordcount goal found the experienceto be rewarding. The program isespecially effective at fightingwriter’s block and encouragingcreativity.

In 1918, on the 11th hour of the11th month of the 11th day, thecessation of World War I officiallytook place. One year later, in 1919,President Woodrow Wilson offi-cially proclaimed November 11as the commemoration of Armi-stice Day. A congressional actapproved in 1938 made that date afederal holiday, stating that theday was, “dedicated to the causeof world peace and to be hereaftercelebrated and known as Armi-stice Day.

Following World War II andthe Korean War, the 83rd Con-gress heeded urging from veter-ans groups to change the name ofthe holiday. On June 1, 1954, Presi-dent Dwight D. Eisenhower signeda bill changing November 11 fromArmistice Day to Veterans Day.

In 1968, the Uniform HolidaysBill was passed by Congress, whichmoved the celebration of Veter-ans Day to the fourth Monday inOctober. The law went into effectin 1971, but in 1975 President Fordreturned Veterans Day to Novem-ber 11, due to the important his-torical significance of the date.

Each Veterans Day, an officialwreath-laying ceremony is heldat the Tomb of the Unknowns inArlington National Cemetery.

Here are some current facts about

the veteran population of the UnitedStates. There are 23.2 million mili-tary veterans in the United States.9.2 million veterans are over theage of 65, and 1.9 million veter-ans are under the age of 35. 1.8million veterans are women. 7.8million veterans served during theVietnam War era (1964-1975),which represents 33% of all liv-ing veterans. 5.2 million veteransserved during the Gulf War (rep-resenting service from August 2,1990 to present). 2.6 million vet-erans served during World War II(1941-1945). 2.8 million veterans

served during the Korean War(1950-1953). 6 million veteransserved in peacetime. As of 2008,2.9 million veterans received com-pensation for service-related dis-abilities.

to play at CrossingsZUMBROTA – Violinist Randy

Sabien’s rhythmic, bluesy,swingin’ sound will have audi-ences bobbing their heads, tap-ping their toes and dancing rightout of their chairs Friday, Octo-ber 30, at 7:30 p.m. at Crossings.Sabien will bring guitarists KyleBaker and Dan Caton to share thestage.

While jazz violin is his passion,Sabien also plays inspired rendi-tions of tunes by the Beatles, TheGrateful Dead, the Allman Broth-ers and others. Having started outto study classical violin, Sabien isone of those rare musicians hailedboth as a violinist and a fiddler.Since 2009, he has headed thestrings department at McNallySmith College of Music in St. Paul.

Sabien was planning to be adrummer when he set out on hismusical path, but fate stepped inwhen the conductor of the highschool orchestra persuaded himto play the violin in fourth grade.So with a bow in his hand insteadof drumsticks, he began studyingclassical violin by day and play-ing along to records of his favor-ite ’60s rock bands by night.

Having immersed himself inthese two musical forms, he wenton to college hoping to further hismusical education and the dreamof playing and touring with a band.

At age 21, he founded andchaired the string department atBerklee College of Music in Bos-ton. He went on to teach interna-tionally and is co-author, alongwith Bob Phillips, of the acclaimedJazz Philharmonic Series by AlfredMusic Publishing — his teachingmethod for alternative strings.

Baker and Caton are guitar stu-dents at the McNally Smith Col-lege of Music. Baker recently com-pleted his master’s degree andCaton is working on his bachelor’s.

The pair recently won first placefor “Best Duo” in the MinnesotaState Fair instrumental perfor-mance division. Both were fea-tured in Sabien’s public televisionappearance on the Sue OrfieldShow.

Christian healing center opens in Pine IslandPINE ISLAND – It’s been three

years in the making, but the timehas finally arrived. Patchwork FaithMinistries (PFM), under the di-rection of Brad and CarissaHjellming, has opened a new Chris-tian center at 231 South Main Streetin Pine Island. The public is in-vited to an open house scheduledfor Saturday, November 7, from 9a.m. - 2 p.m. and Sunday, No-vember 8, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

The center consists of the newretail Mission Market, a groupmeeting area, and a counselingoffice. Mission Market is a mini-retail boutique selling new,repurposed, vintage, and gentlyused items. All proceeds from thismarket go directly to help womenand children in need receive Bib-lical prayer ministry, support, andresources from the PFM center.

Mission Market is open Wednes-days from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and avariety of scheduled Saturdaysfrom 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. The groupmeeting area is used for life en-richment classes and supportgroups, and Christian counselingtakes place in the private counsel-ing office.

Carissa Ulrich Hjellming wasborn and raised in Cannon Fallsand has been a highly respectedteacher at the Cannon Falls El-ementary School for the past fif-teen years. She took a leave ofabsence this year to work the min-istry full-time. In addition to herbachelors and masters degrees inelementary education, she is nowa certified healing practitionerthrough Global Awakening andan ordained lay minister.

“It was very difficult to give upmy classroom this year and all

those smiling little faces, but I knowGod has called me to this minis-try. I now work with women andchildren who are hurting—whetheremotionally or physically. I amable to share my faith with themand help them find healing,” shesaid.

When asked what a typical daylooks like, Hjellming laughed. Shesaid, “There is no such thing as a‘typical’ day for me. I might becounseling in a private session,working Mission Market, drivinga client to a chemo appointment,or praying for a terminally ill pa-tient in her home. Our tagline is‘We are here for you when lifehurts’. My goal is to compassion-ately bring the hope of Christ, tohelp clients find healing throughHis saving love, and to lift theburden in some small way. Miracleshappen every day!”

ily Fun Day.

Goodhue County, like the ma-jority of eastern Minnesota, expe-rienced a boom in railroads afterthe Civil War. By 1870, the firstrailroad was constructed in RedWing, connecting the area to thelarger national economy, and ledto Red Wing’s emergence as aprominent market for wheat andother agricultural exports. Cars andhighways eventually replaced rail-roads as the primary means of trans-portation and trade, but railroadsremain a critical piece of Red Wingand Goodhue County history.
