Serving the Highway 52 Golden Corridor from Hader to Oronoco
By Marilyn Anderson
PITTSBURGH, PA For the
past month, daily media sources
have provided the latest on the
crisis in and around Iraq as the
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
(ISIS) has stepped up its offen-
sive, seizing control of several
major cities in the region. Infor-
mation regarding the organiza-
tion, its leader Abu Bakr al-
Baghdadi, and the associated ter-
rorism, is often sought. Mazeppa
native Patrick Johnston, a politi-
cal scientist for the RAND Cor-
poration, has been quoted or in-
terviewed as a source for this in-
formation for several publications
and programs including National
Public Radio, NBCnews.com, and
the Los Angeles Times.
Interest and research
Johnston is the son of Bruce
and Coleen Johnston of Mazeppa.
After graduating from Zumbrota-
Mazeppa High School in 1999, he
obtained his B.A. in history and
political science at the University
of Minnesota in Morris. He ini-
tially chose the majors because
they are common selections for
pre-law students. However, after
completing an internship with an
attorney in Morris, Johnston de-
cided law was not the profession
for him. What fascinated me, and
led me to pursue the Ph.D. in po-
litical science, was political vio-
lence civil wars, insurgency, and
terrorism specifically, how vio-
lent campaigns are organized, car-
ried out, and countered by gov-
ernments across the world,
Johnston explained.
After completing his Ph.D. at
Northwestern University in 2009,
Johnston was a fellow at the
Harvard Kennedy School, Stanford
University, and the United States
Institute in Washington, D.C. He
has been at RAND, based at the
Pittsburgh office, since 2011.
RAND (a contraction of re-
search and development) is a non-
profit institution that conducts re-
search and analysis, working with
governments, private foundations,
and organizations. The corpora-
tion has 1,700 staff members.
Johnston described his current
position at RAND as a way to use
his academic training, especially
in quantitative and qualitative re-
search methodologies, in doing
policy research and analysis. He
said, A common lament involves
the disconnect between the so-
called Ivory Tower and D.C.
policymaking. My academic and
foreign policy interests made a job
that can help bridge this divide
extremely appealing.
To gather information that is
useful for others, Johnston seeks
it wherever it is available. He learns
a great deal from internet sources
including Western media report-
ing and sources from the Middle
East. For recent studies involving
Iraq, ISIS, and al-Baghdadi,
Johnston knew that U.S. and Iraqi
forces had seized many records
from the ISIS predecessors, al-
Qaeda, in Iraq and the Islamic State
of Iraq. With Department of De-
fense (DoD) support, he initiated
a project that involved declassi-
fying these documents for open
analysis. Access to the groups
internal documents provides a lot
of insight into how it thinks how
decisions are made, how it recruits
and organizes personnel, and how
it operates on a day-to-day basis,
Johnston said. He noted that the
information is incredibly impor-
tant, both for understanding the
current crisis and how terrorist
groups work.
An example of how data is used
can be found in a paper Johnston
co-authored with three RAND
colleagues and two individuals
from Princeton University. The
paper, Insurgent Compensation:
Evidence from Iraq, was pub-
lished in the May 2013 edition of
American Economic Review.
Compensation data from insurgent
documents came from the U.S.
DoD Harmony Database, using
documents that were collected
during operations in Afghanistan,
Iraq, and elsewhere. Focusing on
payments made to al-Qaeda in Iraq
(AQI) insurgent fighters, the au-
thors found the wages to be ex-
tremely low, even when compared
to unskilled labor. There was little
compensation for the level of vio-
lence or the high risk.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is the
leader of ISIS. Because of a $10
million bounty for information
leading to his capture or death since
October 2011, al-Baghdadi has
kept a low profile. Baghdadi is
not his birth name, and he report-
edly wears a bandana to conceal
his identity.
When asked how al-Baghdadi
compares to Osama bin Laden and/
or Saddam Hussein, particularly
in terms of leadership skills and
ability to garner followers,
Johnston responded, Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi is not Saddam Hussein
and he is not Osama bin Laden.
Each had different objectives, but
all were/are considered threaten-
ing to U.S. national security inter-
ests. Baghdadi is a new breed of
jihadi leader. He has new ideas
and a new strategy that differs from
al-Qaedas under bin Laden. Those
ideas already are, and will likely
continue to, cause significant in-
stability in the Middle East.
Baghdadi has won a lot of follow-
ers including many from West-
ern Europe and the United States
who previously would have prob-
ably gravitated to al-Qaeda. Hes
a threat to al-Qaeda for that rea-
son.
Johnston also pointed out that
Baghdadi has been leading his
movement effectively since 2010,
regrouping the remnants of the
Islamic State of Iraq after the U.S.
withdrew from Iraq to prepare for
offensives in Syria, and now Iraq.
Regarding Baghdadis style,
Johnston said, Baghdadi has a
somewhat unique leadership style
hes extremely secretive, both
within his own group and, in large
measure, to the outside world. But
at the same time, hes been able to
direct operations effectively in two
key countries Syria and Iraq
in a way no other leader before
him has. Hes also inspired world-
wide support for his alternative
jihadist program to al-Qaedas.
Hes a very effective leader.
Further information
To keep abreast of further de-
velopments by ISIS and/or com-
mentary by Johnston, an Internet
search for topics with Patrick
Johnstons name and RAND, and
a specific subject (such as Iraq,
ISIS or al-Baghdadi) will return
results. An example is a commen-
tary, co-authored by Johnston and
Benjamin Bahney, titled Obamas
Iraq Dilemma that appeared in
the June 17, 2014 edition of U.S.
News and World Report.
Patrick Johnston, formerl y of
Mazeppa and now with the RAND
Corporation in Pittsburgh, has
recently provided commentary for
several national media sources on
the latest developments involving
the terrorist organization ISIS.

of July celebration
begins Thursday
Rechtzigel is Minnesota
Civics Teacher of the Year
By Paul Martin
RED WING Commissioner
Dan Rechtzigel was presented with
the award for Minnesota Civics
Teacher of the Year at the Goodhue
County Board of Commissioners
meeting on June 23. In addition to
representing the 3rd District on
the county board, Rechtzigel
teaches social studies at Kenyon-
Wanamingo High School. He was
nominated for the award by County
Administrator Scott Arneson, who
praised his ability to introduce his
students to civic matters and push
them to succeed. Arneson also
noted that he invites the county
board to meet in Kenyon once a
year, when 20 or more of his stu-
dents line the walls of the council
chamber.
The award took Rechtzigel com-
pletely by surprise despite the
presence of several colleagues and
most of his family.
Board finances large projects
2014 sees the final payments
on the bonds taken out by the county
to finance the building of the Law
Enforcement Center (LEC) in Red
Wing. With this day in sight, the
board voted in 2010 to sell
$9,200,000 in bonds for road re-
pairs, $5,000,000 in 2012 and the
rest in 2014. Since then, $2,700,000
of this road fund has been ear-
marked for the SE Collector relief
road in Cannon Falls, and another
$1,500,000 is needed for the Hwy
52 / County 9 interchange. The
much needed renovation of the
Citizens Building in Red Wing
will take about another $5,500,000.
Other smaller projects are also in
Goodhue County Commissioner Dan Rechtzigel was named Minnesota
Civics Teacher of the Year.
the equation. The good news is
that state-required debt reserves
on the LEC Bonds now stand at
$2,000,000, and can be figured
in. These funds must be used for
servicing county debts.
Like a homeowner taking on a
mortgage, the county is spreading
these costs over 10 or 15 years.
This will enable the county to take
advantage of current low interest
rates. Finance Director Carolyn
Holmsten explained the choices
to the board, and looked for guid-
ance before negotiating the struc-
ture of the bonds with loan origi-
nators Springsted. Board Chair Ron
Allen spoke for the board when
he said, We have set ourselves to
keep debt payments at close to
$2,000,000 per year, and I want to
stick to that policy. Rechtzigel
agreed, and added, Taxpayers hate
rollercoaster levy charges.
Hwy 6 contract awarded
The board approved a bid for
the resurfacing of Hwy 6 between
Hwys 9 and 1. Federal funding
for this almost $5 million project
means the contract must go to
MNDot for approval, a process
which is expected to take several
weeks. Work should start later this
summer. It will be finished this
year if we get good fall weather,
said Public Works Supervisor Greg
Isakson. If not, it may hang on
until next spring.
Planning delays are also affect-
ing the Citizens Building renova-
tion. Changes demanded by the
City of Red Wing Historic Pres-
ervation Committee will mean that
bids cannot be sought until No-
vember. To avoid winter construc-
tion, with its extra costs, work is
now set to start March 2015.
Capital safety to get tax break
The board approved the tax
abatement agreement with Capi-
tal Safety for the major expansion
of their facility in Red Wing. This
project is expected to provide 100
new jobs in Red Wing over the
next five years.
The board also approved DNR
(Department of Natural Resources)
plans to purchase 26 acres of land
to add to the John Murtaugh Me-
morial Wildlife Management Area
on Hwy 58 south of Hay Creek.
Area Wildlife Supervisor Don
Nelson said he is often asked
whether the county loses out on
property taxes when the DNR
obtains land. It is true the DNR
pays no taxes, he said, but we
make payments in lieu of tax. These
are 0.75% of assessed value. We
paid over $200,000 on our lands
in Goodhue County in 2013.
Nelson said most of the money
used to purchase the land came
from a surcharge on every hunt-
ing license.
GOODHUE On Sunday, June
22, at around 6 a.m. a fire was
started at the Goodhue Apartments
on First Avenue in Goodhue. The
Goodhue Police Department, the
Goodhue County Sheriffs Office,
and the Minnesota Department of
Public Safety are looking for in-
formation on the person or per-
sons who started this fire.
If you have any information
please call the arson hotline at 1-
800-723-2020. Rewards of up to
$5,000 are offered for informa-
tion leading to the identification
of the persons responsible for this

To the Editor:
So whats up with diversion
programs? Why is it that some
counties are still operating them
and some are shut down, includ-
ing Wabasha Countys? Read the
statutes (* 169.999 / 169.XXX)
and laws that must be followed
for a diversion program to under-
stand why this happened. As it
turns out those counties that are
still running the diversion programs
are following and abiding by the
laws so they continue to operate.
So what was wrong with Wabasha
Countys diversion program?
There are many infractions but here
are a few that are easy to under-
stand.
According to statute
(www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/
?id=169.999) there are only three
types of violations that allow a
person to attend a diversion pro-
gram:
Speeding (speed must be less
than ten mph over the lawful limit)
Failing to obey a stop sign
Operating a vehicle in viola-
tion of safety or equipment re-
lated standards
Wabasha County allowed people
to attend diversion programs for
violations other than the ones listed
in the statutes, and this is illegal.
The statute sets the fine pay-
able for diversion program viola-
tions at $60. Two-thirds of this
amount is credited to the general
fund in the county where the cita-
tion was issued and one-third is
sent to the Commissioner of Man-
agement and Budget.
Wabasha Countys diversion
program charged $100 and kept
100% of the money, which is ille-
gal.
Prosecutorial power is the county
attorneys power and his power
alone. According to statute, this
power cannot be delegated to the
deputy or law enforcement offi-
cial.
Wabasha Countys diversion
program was set up in such a man-
ner that this power was given to
the law enforcement
official issuing the citation, which
is also legal.
Unfortunately by keeping 100%
of the money collected, this af-
fected EMS funding that the county
receives from the state. Certain
fines are returned back to the county
from the state for emergency medi-
cal services, training, equipment
and operation of emergency trans-
portation. By keeping 100% of
the money collected this funding
was no longer given to the county
for this purpose. Contrary to a let-
ter published in the papers previ-
ously, there were not any
defibrillators bought with the funds
from this program. If you request
a list of items purchased with di-
version program funds you will
see this.
Wabasha County only had to
comply with the law in order to
continue the diversion program.
Wouldnt having two-thirds of the
money be better than NO Money
at all? Maybe it really was all about
the money.

Fun and games
If you cannot laugh at your own
religion, stop reading and go to a
different article. You will get up-
set. Judaism has multiple levels
of folklore. One level is about the
people and their myths, and a sec-
ond level goes into the mysticism.
In modern terms, a third level is
built upon the fixed writing and
style of the Torah.
Each piece (leaf) of the Torah is
written according to a master copy.
One leaf has the text, in Hebrew,
printed with extra wide letters and
the entire leaf looks like a castle
wall. Thus each leaf has special
formatting and style. A recent book
was written about the hidden
messages in these leaves. For in-
stance, the bombardment of Jupi-
ter is revealed when a certain word
is blacked out on a certain leaf.
Hidden messages about the USA
and the world are revealed on other
pages.
From 1700 to 1850, the folk-
lore was that the true and unknown
name of God was encoded in the
Torah. Rabbis supposedly spent
their entire lives searching. If you
knew the true name, you could
control God. From here, we move
to the Golem. In about the same
time period, a rabbi created a gi-
ant made of clay. He wrote the
word live on its forehead and
the clay man came to life. To stop
him, one only had to erase the
word on the forehead.
The simplest form of magic and
control is to know the true name
of something. When God created
the world and all therein, God had
all of the animals pass before Adam
and Adam named each of them.
The act of naming gave Adam
dominion over all of the animals.
As for more magic, read the Book
of Exodus.
We also have the stories of the
village of Chelm and the world of
foolishness. For instance, here is
a deep Chelmic question: How do
you make a glass of tea sweet do
you add sugar or do you stir it
with a spoon? See if you can find
the answer.
Another folktale is the story of
the rabbi and his followers trying
to find a way to capture Death and
his mistress. They were success-
ful in the capture but they had to
hold the two for 24 hours without
giving them food or water. As the
rabbi and his men wait for 24 hours,
people around the world are suf-
fering and not dying. After a while,
the rabbi grows tired. He reminds
his people not to give them any
food or water and to come wake
him at a certain time. Death and
his mistress plead and beg the
young followers to give them just
a small sip of water. Finally, one
young lad cant take any more and
pours a few drops onto Deaths
hand who licks his own hand and
breaks free. The two kill off half
of the followers.
One myth is that the Torah ex-
isted before mankind. The Torah
advised God that, why bother, Man
will not always obey your laws
and will disappoint you. God said
something like, I have to keep try-
ing. Thus, this is the fifth time that
God has created man. (This myth
may have been the background
for Atlantis and other fantasy his-
tories of Robert E. Howard.) Until
next week.

N&S26-2F
Golfs governing bodies, the
PGA and USGA, are encourag-
ing players to Tee it Forward by
starting each hole at an appropri-
ate tee box based on the players
average driving distance. The goal
is to make the game more enjoy-
able by improving speed of play
and giving all players a reason-
able chance to make par. It would
conceivably allow golfers of dif-
ferent abilities to comfortably play
together.
They are trying to change the
perception by some amateurs that
it is best to enjoy the golf course
by playing from the farthest set of
tee boxes. Many amateur golfers
play golf courses at a length that
is probably 500 yards too long for
their ability. This increased need
for distance often results in less
accurate club selection, which
means more errant shots, lost golf
balls, and slow play.
They have other tips to improve
speed of play, but this is the core
principle that goes directly to en-
joyment of the game and time spent
on the course. After playing area
courses, I have another proposal
that would improve the speed of
play mow the rough. I realize
that extra rainfall and sunlight are
perfect conditions for a U.S. Open
type rough (thick and tall), but I
see these conditions more than I
did in the old days.
I recently played two golf courses
that I enjoy, Legacy in Faribault
and the Zumbrota Golf Club.
Faribault had not mowed for many
days due to the heavy rainfall, but
it typically has a long and thick
rough anyway. You could say that
it is fair to penalize errant drives,
but I had difficulty finding one
ball just off the fairway. I needed
help from two others to find my
ball three yards from my push cart.
The back nine at Zumbrota is
one of my favorite golf destina-
tions, especially for the value. But
it is transforming from a links
course into something else. Im
not certain if its the rich soil, lack
of maintenance, or both, but the
tall weed waste areas are unsightly
and a lost ball waiting to happen.
Links course waste areas should
be places to avoid, not prickly black
holes.
I like a challenge, but Im al-
ready a challenged bogey golfer.
Ive played with and watched
enough golfers to know the vast
majority of you are, too. I support
Tee it Forward and any measure
that improves speed of play, al-
lows people to play comfortably
together, and enjoy the game.
The Tee it Forward recom-
mended 18-hole yardages are as
follows: 300-yard driver distance,
total yardage of 7,150-7,400 yards;
275, 6,700-6,900; 250, 6,200-
6,400; 225, 5,800-6,000; 200,
5,200-5,400; 175, 4,400-4,600;
150, 3,500-3,700; 125, 2,800-
3,000; and 100, 2,100-2,300. If
the course doesnt have tee box
distances that suite your yardage,
they suggest estimating and tee-
ing off from the fairway as an op-
tion.
Parades
I enjoy parades not because of
the candy or endless run of cars,
tractors, and fire trucks, because
of the marching bands. The Lake
City, Winona, and Zumbrota pa-
rades all shared a growing pet peeve
of mine HUGE gaps. And the
cause appears to be my favorite
part of the parade.
All bands quit marching to com-
pete in a singular musical produc-
tion before judges. It is time-con-
suming and unrealistic to expect
the band consistently to stop and
perform along the parade route.
Many of the bands dont even per-
form when they march by in an
effort to catch up. The ZM band is
an exception to this thank you.
This is an institutional problem
created by judged competition. I
would like to see a marching per-
formance, but dont expect a
change. Good luck to the ZM band
in Colorado this week.

Notebook
By Pete Grimsrud
Ideas to improve summer fun
Brad Anderson, lifelong Can-
non Falls area resident, has an-
nounced that he is seeking the
position of Goodhue County Com-
missioner District 2. He clarified
his interest in this position by stat-
ing, I have a passion for public
service and an understanding of
local government. I have always
encouraged citizens to be active
participants in local government
because it is where we as indi-
viduals influence decisions the
most.
As a commissioner, Anderson
wants to create a plan with the
input from citizens and county
departments that is a roadmap for
the future of Goodhue County.
This strategic plan will help drive
decisions that will position the
county for thoughtful growth and
economic strength enhancing busi-
nesses, agriculture, and quality of
life within the county.
Andersons past experience
working on civic boards includes:
Leon Township for twelve years,
Brad Anderson files for District 2
Goodhue County Commissioner
Goodhue County Board of Ad-
justment for nine years, Belle Creek
Watershed board for two years,
Cannon Falls School Board for
six years, church council, Goodhue
County Pork Producers and 4-H
County Federation representative.
He said, These experiences have
helped me develop into a repre-
sentative who listens, asks perti-
nent questions, and involves the
public, staff, and other board mem-
bers in the decision-making pro-
cess.
Summing up his purpose in run-
ning for this office, he said, Citi-
zens of District 2 in Goodhue
County deserve a hardworking,
experienced, vision-focused rep-
resentative who will work to move
the entire county forward. It would
be a humbling honor to represent
District 2 in this task..
Anderson, 56, lives in Leon
Township on a century family farm
with his wife Kathy. He works as
the service manager for Niebur
Tractor & Equipment in Miesville.

Friday, July 11, at 8 p.m. Multi-
platinum guitarist/producer Kevin
Bowe will join her.
Scott, who has sold out the Da-
kota Jazz Club more than a dozen
shows in a row, has a soulful, or-
ganic sound that completely ig-
nores the rules of cool that define
so much of todays music. Her
riveting ballads and huge voice
are redefining her genre and fill-
ing 500-seat theaters with devoted
fans. The singer/songwriter rips
up the stage like a modern day
Carole King, making an unfor-
gettable impression with her pi-
ano and a strong, romantic voice.

cert series.

The tragic, mostly forgotten
story of the Sea Wing disaster
Events scheduled at Goodhue County History Center
Passengers line up on the Sea Wing prior to departing for their excursion on July 13, 1890. Of the 215
passengers, 98 drowned in Lake Pepin when the steamboat was flipped by a thunderstorm.
Lurid St. Paul newspaper head-
lines trumpeted dreadful news of
a July 13, 1890, steamboat disas-
ter: Whole Families Forced into
the Darkness of Another World
Clasped in Each Others Arms;
A Voyage of Pleasure That Ended
on the Shores of Another World;
The Tornado on Pepins Treach-
erous Bosom the Crowning Ca-
lamity of all Minnesota Annals.
Sea Wing, a stern-wheeled
steamer packed with 215 passen-
gers on a Sunday cruise, had cap-
sized on Lake Pepin, drowning
98. The steamboat and its attached
barge had been about five miles
north of Lake City, returning to
Red Wing, when struck by a fron-
tal thunderstorm. Straight-line
winds flipped the boat.
For four days, Minnesotans and
the rest of the nation followed the
horrific story. Red Wing, soon
labeled in newspapers as the City
of the Dead, was home to 144 of
the passengers. Residents knew
little of who died or survived the
accident until Monday morning
when a steamboat carrying doz-
ens of bodies reached the Red Wing
levee with its grim cargo. A city
in mourning saw 44 funerals con-
ducted on Tuesday alone.
But many Sea Wing victims were
still in the lake. A Minnesota Na-
tional Guard regiment encamped
at Lake Citys Camp Lakeview
took over recovery operations from
Lake City civilians. They searched
for up to 40 still believed missing.
As groups of relatives and friends
of victims looked on, Guardsmen
cannonaded and dynamited the lake
in dramatic, but unsuccessful, at-
tempts to raise bodies. On Thurs-
day the drowned began surfacing,
most unrecognizable.
Of 57 women and girls on board,
only seven survived. Most of them
were in the Sea Wings main cabin
when the boat capsized and were
immediately drowned.
Tragic vignettes of the accident
and its victims emerged. Couples
about to be married drowned; en-
tire families killed; a mother clutch-
ing her baby, buried together as
they had been found; initial survi-
vors killed by hail as they struggled
in the water; two sisters perishing
when their escorts lost grips on
their hair; family members strug-
gling to identify badly disfigured
remains.
Criticism of David Wethern, the
ships captain, was tempered by
the fact his wife and a son were
among the drowned. Wethern and
his steamboat sailed from Diamond
Bluff, on the Wisconsin side of
the Mississippi. That small com-
munity and neighboring Trenton
each suffered ten dead. An acci-
dent investigation found Wethern
guilty of unskillfulness and over-
loading his vessel.
The Sea Wing disaster, so fa-
miliar to turn-of-the-twentieth-
century Minnesotans, slowly dis-
appeared from memory. Frederick
L. Johnson, author of The Sea
Wing Disaster (Goodhue County
Historical Society, 1986) and the
forthcoming expanded version of
the originalThe Sea Wing Di-
saster: Tragedy on Lake Pepin
said the calamity, so localized to
Red Wing, Lake City, and Dia-
mond Bluff, was largely lost out-
side of those communities.
A Red Wing native and Cot-
tage Grove resident, Johnson said,
I have yet to meet someone in the
Twin Cities area or greater Min-
nesota who has heard of the Sea
Wing disaster. The story is per-
sonal to Johnson, who has written
ten books and numerous maga-
zine articles about Minnesota his-
tory. He said, My great-grandfa-
ther, a teamster, drove the first
wagonload of Sea Wing victims
from the Red Wing levee to local
funeral parlors. Two sisters who
would have become my wifes
grand-aunts also died.

cal Society formally releases The

GOODHUE The seven mem-
bers of the Goodhue Education
Foundation Board of Directors
were all present at the school on
Tuesday evening, June 24. The
foundation is a non-profit organi-
zation that became official on June
23, 2014.
The original board consists of
Dave OReilly, Corey Ryan, Peg
OConnor, Erin Gravemann, Char-
lotte Volkmann, Tyler Lodermeier,
and Kevin Altendorf. They will
serve two-year terms. After the
bylaws were accepted, the next
order of business was to elect of-

The original Board of Directors for the Goodhue Education Foundation consists of Dave OReilly, Corey Ryan, Peg OConnor, Tyler Lodermeier, Erin
Gravemann, Charlotte Volkmann, and Kevin Altendorf.
Bylaws established for Goodhue Education Foundation
dent, OReilly vice-president,
Gravemann secretary, and
OConnor treasurer.
There are seven members on
the board of directors, but mem-
bership is unlimited. Only the board
of directors may vote on issues.
This foundation has been orga-
nized exclusively for charitable
and educational purposes. They
will partner with the community
to enrich the education experience
and promote excellence for all stu-
dents of Goodhue Public Schools.
They will collaborate with the
school board and the administra-
tion to support the strategic goals
and the initiatives of the founda-
tion. Superintendent Mike
Redmond and one school board
member, Ann Buck, are ex-offi-
cio members.
Over the past seven months,
much work has been accomplished
by these individuals. Ryan reserved
the name Goodhue Education
Foundation, established a mail-
ing address for the foundation, and
paid the $55 fee to the Minnesota
Secretary of State. He has also
been instrumental in establishing
a new website, www.goodhue
educationfoundation.org , although
at the present time only their logo
is on it. Lodermeier wrote, re-
viewed, and edited the bylaws.
OReilly covered the filing fees
of approximately $1,000 to the
IRS and the State of Minnesota.
Volkmann has started working with
a friend on designing a brochure
to send to the area residents, and
OConnor has opened a checking
account at the First Farmers and
Merchants Bank in Goodhue. Buck
has worked with CPA, Larry
Dammer of Cannon Falls, to help
with accounting the initial cost
will be $300. Redmond announced
that Ray McNamara of the 100-
year celebration committee has
nearly $1,300 that will be turned
over to the foundation after they
are organized.
The board of directors will not
meet again until September. Sub-
jects to be discussed at that meet-
ing will include a fall marketing
campaign, finalizing the brochure,
and coordinating it all with Give
to the Max Day.

Zumbrota/Mazeppa
ZM High School plans to revitalize
weight room for athletes and residents
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
ZUMBROTA At the Zum-
brota-Mazeppa School Board
meeting on June 23, Superinten-
dent Tony Simons reported that
the district is working on plans to
revitalize the high school weight
training room for student athletes,
students, and the community.
We have been working with
Mayo to offer training for our ath-
letes, he said. Mayo has visited
the school to look at the weight-
room. Strength building has been
proven to reduce student injuries
in sports. He said the plan should
include training and lifting to ben-
efit the students in and out of sea-
son.
The district is considering open-
ing the weight room on Saturday
mornings and offering training to
residents through Community
Education in the future.
38% of the students in grades 7-
12 participated in track and field,
golf, softball, or baseball this
spring. In the discussion, the school
board members agreed that up-
grading the weight room and pro-
viding consistent staffing for train-
ing were important for the stu-
dents.
Summer school
Principal Erick Enger reported
that 21 students in grades 7 and 8
are attending the summer program
for mathematics and reading. There
are 11students in grades 9-12 at-
tending the summer program. 36
students completed 33 credits
through the credit recovery pro-
gram. He estimated that 13% of
students in a graduating class use
credit recovery during high school.
K-6 Principal Quinn Rasmussen
reported that 84 students (about
12 per grade) were attending the
summer target program for math-
ematics and reading. He said that
bussing students to summer school
between Zumbrota and Mazeppa
has been a great success.
Enrollment
Enrollment totaled 1,104 in
grades K-12 in September 2013.
In June 2014 the total enrollment
in the Zumbrota-Mazeppa schools
was 1,102. Enrollment has in-
creased to 1,087 in K-12 in Sep-
tember 2012 and 1,078 in June
2013.
95 children are enrolled in kin-
dergarten this fall. There have been
new families moving into the com-
munity. There could be five more
children in kindergarten by the start
of school.
83 of the 86 seniors graduated
in May 2014. This is a 98% gradu-
ation rate. Two students will have
completed their graduation require-
ments after summer school.
2014-15 budget
In the projected 2014-15 bud-
get, revenues in the general fund
totaled $11,503,437. Expenditures
from the general fund are projected
to total $11,352,533.
In the food service fund, rev-
enues will total $563,987 and ex-
penditures $555,579. Projections
for the community service fund
total $840,494 of revenues and
$886,118 of expenditures. Expec-
tations for debt service are
$968,379 in revenues and $972,609
in expenditures.
On June 30, 2014, the estimate
for the general fund balance is
$1,059,230. On June 30, 2015, the
projected general fund balance is
$1,210,224. The estimated balance
of all funds on June 30, 2015 is
$10,095,635.
From the May 2014 treasurers
report prepared by Finance Di-
rector Diane Matthees for this year,
the balance of all funds totaled
$2,600,618.41.
Simons said, Our cash flow is
strong.
Health Services
Simons summarized the health
services report prepared by Dis-
trict Nurse Karen Moyer. She
manages health service as a Li-
censed School Nurse who delegates
administration of medications to
students and procedures to the
office and back-up staff.
The district will hire a half-time
nurse for next year to address the
growing needs of students. The
new position will be coordinated
through the Goodhue County Edu-
cation District (GCED).
This year there were 6,180 stu-
dent visits to the health offices for
medications, injuries, illnesses, and
blood sugar checks. 20 students
were assessed to carry/administer
their own medications.
Trained DECA staff answered
nine emergency calls in the schools.
There were four 911 calls and 20
injury reports completed. There
are 52 health plans, including 17
Asthma Action Plans.
Staff updates
The school board approved the
resignations of Britney Meyers
(social worker), Mallory Macal
(Title I teacher), Londa Johnson
(FACS teacher), Brenda Medina
(instrumental music teacher), and
Sarah Jackson (special education
assistant).
The board approved hiring Catlin
Bonde (first grade), Derek Hatten
(fifth grade), Logan Jensen (sixth
grade), Samantha Woods (third
grade), Rachel Miller (junior high
instrumental music teacher), An-
gela Heitmann (eighth grade vol-
leyball), Scott Paukert (ninth grade
football), and Shannon Johnson
(seventh grade softball).
Media Center Director Heidi
Hanson was reassigned to teach
high school language arts. Mary
Jo Schwartau accepted a position
with the GCED. She will continue
as a ZM employee, but is con-
tracted to GCED. Roxanne
Webster was reassigned to fill
Hansons second grade teaching
position.
ZM will contract with GCED
for speech services in the 2014-
15 school year. Racheal Carlson,
Cougar Care teacher, will be on
leave from July to August to pur-
sue her studies.
Tenure was approved for Jill
Ziebell, Bonnie Kronenberger, and
Heidi Hanson.
Senator Matt Schmit visit
Senator Matt Schmit visited with
the school board to summarize the
legislative session and his hopes
for the future. He mentioned one
legislative initiative, Location
Equity Funding, which makes all
districts eligible for $424 per pu-
pil equalized levy. On his previ-
ous visits the school board ques-
tioned the gaps in funding between
rural and metro schools.
School board member Stephen
Rosenthal requested Schmit as-
sist the district to recover 45% of
its funding for technology, ad-
vanced placement, and college
courses that was cut 5 years ago.
Schmit is very supportive of Bor-
der-to-Border Broadband in Min-
nesota. He visited the districts
classroom after the meeting.
Other business
The school board approved in-
creasing the prices of school
lunches and breakfasts by $0.10
to meet the financial requirements
of federal guidelines. Other school
fees were not increased.
Memberships for the Minnesota
School Board Association
(MSBA), Southeast Service Co-
operative (SSC), Rochester Area
Math Science Partnership
(RAMSP), and Minnesota Rural
Education Association (MREA)
have been approved for 2014-15.
The school board is planning a
summer retreat which will include
reviewing the Strategic Plan on
August 6. They are working on an
agenda. Some members could at-
tend the summer Minnesota School
Board Association Conference
August 3-5.
Simons said some of the lower
level elementary and sixth grade
classrooms will be carpeted over
the summer because funds were
available for the improvement. The
carpet should improve acoustics
in those classrooms.
The board approved a Family
Vacation Policy for students which
will be accessible for families
online. They are reviewing pro-
posed changes for graduation re-
quirements and for behavior ex-
pectations in the district. Changes
in the Cougar Care Handbook were
also approved.
The resolutions relating to elec-
tion of school board members and
establishing dates for filing affi-
davits of candidacy were approved
by the board. Filing for candidacy
for school board opens on July
29, 2014.
A bid for propane fuel for 2014-

ZUMBROTA On Thursday,
June 26, Zumbrota Postmaster Barb
Wamhoff was preparing for the
final day of her 29-year career with
the U.S. Postal Service. At end of
the day on Friday, June 27, she
would be turning her responsibili-
ties over to Kerry Stragey of St.
Paul Park. She will fulfill the role
of officer-in-charge (OIC) until a
new postmaster is selected.
Wamhoffs career began as a
city carrier in Kenyon in 1985.
Carriers walked the entire route
in those days. There were no car-
rier vehicles. Five years later,
Wamhoff came to Zumbrota for a
time before serving as officer-in-
charge at many area towns includ-
ing Nerstand, Faribault and West
Concord.
Beginning in 2000, she made
the commute from her home near
Zumbrota to Kenyon; this time
for the role as clerk. In 2002, she
was named Kenyon postmaster.
In 2008, Wamhoffs commut-
ing career took her to Kasson when
she was assigned out on detail
to set up the new office.
Wamhoff was ecstatic when in
December 2008 she was asked,
Do you want Zumbrota? On
December 20, 2008, she returned
to the Zumbrota Post Office and
became postmaster. This feels like
home. What I will miss most are
the customers. I have lived just
outside of Zumbrota for nearly 30
years. I will miss seeing the people
here, Wamhoff said, as she stood
behind the counter of the Zum-
brota location, just a block off of
Main Street. What I wont miss
is all the paperwork! she added,
referring to the forms that need to
be completed by postmasters.
While the Zumbrota Post Of-
fice has been Wamhoffs home
office, she has also had responsi-
bilities for Mazeppa, Zumbro Falls,
Hammond and Wanamingo, which
have added to the paperwork.
During her nearly three decades
of postal experience, technology
has contributed to the biggest
changes. While overall technol-
ogy has helped and it has been
necessary, Wamhoff acknow-
ledged technologic advancements
and related changes have been
especially hard for small towns
and their customers.
Wamhoff was honored at a re-
tirement dinner celebration the
evening of June 24. The party was
attended by people she has worked
with throughout her career. Dur-
ing her final week on the job, much
of her work has focused on the
transition process with Stragey.
The Reader of the Week at Zum-
brota Public Library is Aiden
Rolland, age 6. His parents are
Heather and Richard (Butch)
Rolland of Zumbrota. Aiden likes
to read books about construction.
READER OF
THE WEEK
By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA Bryce and
Brenda Frederick are happy to be
back in their home on Forestview
Curve. They had vacated the house
after it received extensive dam-
age from a pickup truck crashing
into it on Sunday, November 10,
2013. With the restoration work
completed, the couple began mov-
ing back in on June 8, nearly seven
months after the accident.
Brenda recently described the
day of the accident. She spoke while
sitting in the same location in the
living room where she was when
the accident occurred. Bryce,
whose birthday was that day, was
working in the nearby unattached
garage when the crash happened.
The vehicle came around the
curve, approached the house from
the northeast, cut through the yard,
struck the northwest (rear) corner
of the house, damaged the deck,
and stopped after hitting a wooden
yard fence. The trucks impact
blew apart the bedroom, sending
it into the basement and next rooms,
and damaging the foundation. The
accident occurred because the
pickups driver, Jamie Lee Gjemse,
suffered a medical emergency.
Hearing the crash, neighbors
came immediately. The Minne-
sota State Patrol, Goodhue County
Sheriffs Office, Zumbrota Fire
Department, and Zumbrota Am-
bulance responded to the scene.
Though Gjemse was transported
by ambulance to St. Marys Hos-
pital, no serious injuries occurred.
With no one in the area of the
accident, there were no other in-
juries. Gas and electricity was shut
off to the house and the fire de-
partment responded in case extra-
dition would have been necessary.
It wasnt long after the accident
that help started arriving. Brad and
Brendan Dugstad came to brace
up the roof and board the house to
protect it from the elements. Since
it was a Sunday, Pine Island Lum-
ber opened their business so the
Dugstads could get the necessary
building materials. Brendas co-
workers from Bank of Zumbrota
began bringing goodies.
With the exception of the first
few weeks when the Fredericks
stayed at a motel, they stayed with
Seven months after accident damaged
their house, the Fredericks return home
Neighbor Mary Curtis took this photo from her deck following the accident on Sunday, November 10, 2013.
Significant damage was done to Brenda and Bryce Fredericks home on Forestview Curve in Zumbrota when
a pickups driver suffered a medical emergency. After cutting through the rear corner of the house
(bedroom), the pickup also damaged the attached deck and the wooden fence.
Bryce and Brenda Frederick stand by their repaired home. They returned
home after a seven-month absence while the back half was gutted and
rebuilt, the house was reshingled and resided, and a portion of the deck
and foundation were replaced. The fence has not been replaced at this
time.
their son and daughter-in-law, Niles
and Angela, and family in Pine
Island. Their furniture was moved
into storage while the home was
renovated.
One entire side of the house
including the bedroom, kitchen,
and bathroom was gutted and
rebuilt. Much of the foundation
had to be redone, the roof reshingled
and house resided. Part of the at-
tached deck had to be replaced.
The Fredericks appreciate the work
of neighbor Ryan Kutschied and
Rivertown Construction for their
work as well as State Farm Insur-
ance. All have been just super,
Brenda said.
While they still have some un-
packing to do, the Fredericks are
pleased to have the major project
done and to be living back in the
house that has been their home for
33 years. Everyone pitched in
and helped us through this time,
Brenda said as she walked through
the house, pointing out the work
that had been completed. Bryce
added, No words can express the
gratitude for everything. Its won-
derful how a small town comes
together at a time like this.

Wamhoff retires as postmaster
By Tara Chapa
ZUMBROTA On June 19 the
Zumbrota City Council voted to
increase fines to Dairy Farmers of
America (DFA) when they are in
violation of their permit with the
wastewater treatment facility. City
Administrator Neil Jensen said that
when citizens notice a smell in
town, there is a direct correlation
with a DFA permit violation.
In a memo from Jensen to fel-
low council members, he explained
that there have been ongoing sani-
tary sewer permit violations within
the last few months from DFA.
Jensen said that when DFA vio-
lates their permit, it puts undue
stress on the wastewater treatment
plant. The plant is permitted to
take 2,700 pounds of BOD (bio-
chemical oxygen demand) a day
from DFA and they have far ex-
ceeded the amount quite frequently
over the last several months. BOD
is a determinant of how strong the
wastewater from milk solids and
wash water is when it enters the
city sewer system.
Jensen went on to say that DFA
has also violated the citys permit
with the Minnesota Pollution Con-
trol Agency (MPCA). This, in
essence, puts the City of Zum-
brota up against the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency. It is
stated in the sanitary permit with
the DFA that any possible fine
from MPCA will be passed on to
DFA. According to Jensens
memo, each time the DFA exceeds
their permit, it is the cause of the
odors that residents are calling
city hall about daily.
Jensen said that in recent months
the complaints regarding the waste-
water treatment odors are more
than the city has taken in the last
Dairy Farmers of America permit violations increase
With less than two days of work to complete, Zumbrota Postmaster Barb
Wamhoff was looking forward to the end of the day on Friday, June 27
when she could place the closed sign on the counter at the Zumbrota
Post Office for her last time. On that day, she would be turning over
responsibilities to Kerry Stragey, officer-in-charge.
After resting a while, the long
time Harley-Davidson enthusiast,
plans to get on my motorcycle
and travel more with her hus-
band Karl. The couple recently
purchased a motor home and ex-
pects to be snowbirds.
Wamhoff reiterated again, Ill
miss all my customers. She also
sends a word of encouragement
to them: Keep using the post of-
fice!
several years. In fact, between June
1-10, DFAs fines amounted to
$30,000. DFA has yet to respond
to these direct inquiries. They were
invited to the June 19 council
meeting but declined due to pre-
vious engagements.
Chief Selness retirement
The council accepted Zumbrota
Police Chief Gary Selnesss letter
of retirement. In the letter addressed
to council members, Selness wrote
of his intent to retire December
31, 2014. He has been employed
for the City of Zumbrota for the
last 34 years as a peace officer,
with 29 of those as Zumbrotas
chief of police.
Selness said that the Zumbrota
Police Department has grown con-
siderably the last several years,
and it is his hope that the pro-
grams for the citizens continue to
evolve. He looks forward to a very
smooth transition for the next
Zumbrota Police Chief.
Zielsdorf request
Paul and Shannon Zielsdorf,
owners of property at 616 West
Avenue, submitted a request to
subdivide their parcel in order to
create an additional developable
lot. This is allowed under the zon-
ing codes provisions for a minor
subdivision which states: Minor
subdivisions shall apply to the
following applications: In the case
of a request to divide a lot from a
larger tract of land and thereby
creating no more than two lots.
A certificate was provided to
the council that showed the land
met the minimum standards of
6,000 square feet in area with at
least 60 linear feet of width and
100 linear feet of depth. The Plan-
ning Commission unanimously
voted to recommend the city coun-
cil approve the minor subdivision.
The city council approved the re-
quest.

PINE ISLAND The Pine Is-
land pool is open for swimming
lessons and open swimming a
great place to cool off and have
some fun on hot summer days. On
July 10 the public is invited to
attend a free ice cream social at
the pool from 7-9 p.m. There will
be information about the new pro-
posed aquatic center available at
the event.
Again this year the pool has been
granted a stay of execution by the
Health Department which made
its annual check on Tuesday, June
17. Pool Manager Teresa Carlson
said that for the last couple of years
she has held her breath and crossed
her fingers while waiting to hear
if the pool will be able to stay
open, or if it will have to close
because of regulations. Even
though the pool is outdated and
doesnt meet the new regulations
and codes, it is allowed stay open
because the current pool and area
is well maintained and clean. But
the main reason is because a plan
for a new pool is in the works.
Carlson said, This pool is about
60 years old and has brought en-
joyment for many generations, but
due to new codes and regulations
this pool is so outdated and doesnt
currently meet those requirements.
We continue to deal with the leaks,
and the old water heater and equip-
ment, but Pine Islands Public
Works Department have helped
get the pool ready with regular
maintenance. This old pool can
continue to serve the Pine Island
community for now, but some-
thing needs to be done soon.
The pool holds 150,000 gallons
of water, and 700 gallons are re-
circulated per minute. On aver-
age, about 40 people visit the Pine
Island swimming pool each day.
The Pine Island Swimming Pool
Committee continues to work on
funding for the proposed new
aquatic center to replace the out-
dated pool. Without a plan in place
to either bring the original pool up
to code or build a new pool, the
current pool would be shut down.
Although there is no threat to people
who use the pool, there are count-
less items that do not meet code.
With the age of the pool and its
operating system, most of these
items require being replaced, as
there is no possible repair. Some
of the main problems with the
current pool include:
Not one gallon of water that
runs into the overflow or the drains
is recycled.
Nothing at the pool is ADA
(Americans with Disabilities Act)
compliant.
The copper expansion joints
are completely gone due to oxi-
dization (the result is that the pool
is constantly leaking water).
The filtering system is at the
end of its lifespan.
The heater is outdated and in-
efficient.
The electrical system needs
updating from fuses to circuit
breakers.
The cost estimate to bring the
existing pool up to code without
adding any new amenities is over
$1.5 million dollars, and the cost
estimate to build the new proposed
Family Aquatic Center is $2.5
million. The proposed aquatic cen-
ter had an estimated completion
date of June 2015, but with the
passing of the recent Pine Island
School referendum that time frame
is now in question.
Pine Haven Community
Centers Administrator Steve Ziller
proposed moving the aquatic center
location next to Pine Haven in a
collaborated effort that would not
only benefit the residents but also
bring the community together and
create a closer social mix in the
area. As of right now, the new
aquatic center would include a zero
depth entry splash area, tot slide,
one-meter diving board, single drop
slide, water tower slides, climb-
ing wall, deck furnishings and
umbrellas, new bath houses and a
concession area. Pine Haven would
like to add an indoor pool to the
proposal for year-round use.
The pool committee meets the
first Wednesday of the month at 7
p.m. on the second floor of City
Hall, and its email address is
pipoolcommittee@gmail.com.

Wanamingo
KW School renews food service
contract with Taher for another year
KENYON Two food service
providers, Taher and Lunchtime
Solutions, presented quotes to the
Kenyon-Wanamingo School
Board on June 23 for consider-
ation for the 2014-15 food service
contact. After discussion, the board
voted to renew its contract with
Taher.
Board member Karla Bauer said
she had visited Zumbrota-Mazeppa
School during lunch to see Lunch-
time Solutions offerings. After
considering all involved, Bauer
was in favor of Lunchtime Solu-
tions, pointing out that less food
appeared to be thrown away by
students at ZM, condiments were
available to students for the tak-
ing (as opposed to a pre-measured
container at KW), and the presen-
tation of food at ZM was better.
Superintendent Jeff Evert was in
favor of Taher.
Evert and Bauer were the mem-
bers on the committee to review
the food service contracts and there-
fore were deadlocked in a deci-
sion. Evert said cost and program
offerings from both companies
were very close. Representatives
from both companies spoke briefly
to the board to explain their
strengths.
Due to process requirements,
and delays that would arise in an-
other person being added to the
committee to evaluate offers, a
motion was made by Debb Paquin
to accept Tahers proposal. Paquin,
Marilyn Syverson, Lisa Johnson,
and Doug Kyllo were in favor of
the motion, with Bauer opposed.
Elise Wrolstad and Greg Dotson
were not present at the meeting.
Insurance premiums decrease
Todd Greseth of GMI Insurance
presented three quotes from in-
surance companies to provide cov-
erage for the district. Proposals
from Riverport, EMC, and RAM
were discussed. The board accepted
the commercial property liability
package from Riverport. For
workers compensation and
employers liability insurance, the
coverage from RAM was accepted.
Greseth said the districts total
cost came down about $8,000 from
the year before. In the last couple
years the district had more
workmans comp incidents, but
the total cost paid out was signifi-
cantly lower than in the years be-
fore. Greseth said once the num-
ber of incidents and total payouts
both decline, the district will re-
ceive more competitive premium
rates.
Health and Safety project
The Health and Safety policy
was approved for 2014, as was
the H&S budget for 2014-16. Items
planned for maintenance or up-
dating included physical hazard
control (totaling $25,642 over three
years); hazardous substance
($8,400); environment, health and
safety management ($103,520);
asbestos removal ($18,100); and
fire and life safety ($47,068). In
approving these, the board has the
authority to levy funds for the
Health and Safety projects indi-
cated.
Possible referendum
Superintendent Evert briefly
discussed the possibility of run-
ning a referendum in the fall. The
district would need to decide by
August 22 to inform the commis-
sioners and county auditors.
Bauer said she feels the board
needs to make cuts to the budget
and do all cost-saving measures
possible before going to the com-
munity and asking for more money.
Marilyn Syverson said she needs
to have a more exact understand-
ing of where the money in the gen-
eral fund is going to and why.
A possible referendum will be
discussed again at the school
boards working meeting on July
14 in the middle/high school me-
dia center conference room in
Kenyon starting at 6 p.m. The
meeting is open to the public and
voting on whether to go forward
with the referendum will take place.
WANAMINGO For over a
century the Wanamingo Fire De-
partment has worked to protect
and serve the community. To sup-
port those efforts, the Wanamingo
Firefighters Relief Association will
host the 43rd annual firemens
dance and picnic on July 3. Gates
will open at 5:45 p.m. and dinner
will be served to the first 400
people. A free will offering for
dinner will be accepted. The Polka
Dots will provide music from 6-8
p.m., JT and the Gunslingers will
take the outdoor stage from 9-10
p.m., and Lost Highway will per-
form from 10 p.m. - 1 a.m.
Proceeds will go toward the
needs of the department to serve
the community. Tickets are avail-
able in advance from members of
the department or at the door the
night of the event. Children ages
six and younger are free. After 10
p.m. only those 18 years of age

DNR QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Q: What are the reasons for removing dams, and what role does the
DNR play in this process?
A: Some older dams no longer provide sufficient benefits to com-
pensate for their public safety hazards, environmental damages, or
repair and maintenance costs. In these cases, the state may provide
grants for removal. Removing or altering these dams can restore
stream function and stability, improve water quality, increase prop-
erty values, and reduce drowning risks associated with the dams.
The DNR gets involved with permitting, project development and
funding of dam removals, depending on who owns the dam. DNR
engineers identify dams that pose a safety hazard, and DNR biologists
identify dams that have a critical impact on fish and wildlife popula-
tions.

THE CHURCH CORNER
What should we care about?
By Pastor Gary Basinski
New River Assembly of God
These past couple of months, I
have spent a lot of time thinking
about what I should be caring about,
what my priorities should be. Now
we can all say, well family, faith,
careers, and even recreation now
that summer is upon us. But I mean
a little deeper than that. Anyone
who has been watching the news
can see that our country is in a big
mess.
Whether that means overseas
with the mess that we have seen in
the Ukraine, or with the group of
300 innocent young girls being
taken out of a Christian school, or
even more recently now with the
crisis that could be looming in Iraq
again. Our world is a mess. I didnt
even mention all the craziness that
is going on here in our country,
with the VA scandal and all the
IRS hearings that are taking place.
Just about every time you turn in
the TV, all we see is more and
more of a mess.
So where should we stand on
all this? What should be spend
time really worried about and what
should we let roll off our back?
There are too many variables to
say any of these things should keep
us up at night or even get us emo-
tional. If your father has been af-
fected by the VA scandal, it is
going to hit home a lot closer than
it will for someone who has no
connection to it. I am just glad
that I have something that I can go
to for help and advice...well, we
all can for that matter.
That would be the Bible. Re-
ally? Yes, there is more wisdom
in these pages than many times
we even understand ourselves. Just
take Luke 12:22-34, where Jesus
is talking to His disciples, the guys
closest to Him, and he is telling
them, Hey, knock it off, stop
worrying so much. Dont I take
care of the birds and make sure
they have food? I even make sure
the lilies are going to be okay.
Dont you think youre a little more
valuable than these?! WOW! I
read this and it allows me to take a
step back in the midst of chaos
and say, thank you, Lord! We can
all get consumed with stress and
worry of this world no matter where
we are in our lives, but no matter
where we are, we have a God who
created us and wants to call us His
children!
So take time to thank the God
almighty for giving us life, for
giving us the freedoms and the
comforts that we are currently
experiencing! We can be grateful
to him, for sacrificing His son so
we can have life and have it to the
fullest. But I have to ask, are you
living for Him so you can have
that life? He is the one who gives
life, nobody can bring life into a
situation, but Jesus Christ can and
does. He can give you joy where
there shouldnt be any joy. He will
bring peace when there should be
havoc. Jesus does this. Money will
not do it, families will not do it.
But the love of our savior can. As
we celebrate the country on July
4, let us make sure that we are
celebrating what our savior has
done for us as well. God bless!

of tan. The building was once a grocery store, joined to the building to the north, and owned by Halvor and
Nels Romness. In 1919, the bank moved in, added the marble work, and started growing greenery (no pun
intended). The palm hanging from the ceiling was started from a seed by Selma Larsons mother, and
reportedly lived 40 years. John Halvorson shot the deer, whose head, barely visible, graces the wall on the

GOODHUE At the Goodhue
City Council meeting on June 25,
city engineer Andy Brandel re-
ported that Fitzgerald Excavation
began the Third Street construc-
tion project on Tuesday, June 24.
He said that after a rough first
day, Wednesday was better.
Brandel reported that there are
concerns with the access to the
street after work is finished for
the day.
The other construction project
at the water treatment plant is pro-
gressing as planned. Steve Voth
reported that the steel roof is in
place and that the electrical work
is being done by Benda Electric.
The construction will be completed
by August 15, and testing is to be
completed in September.
Verizon
City attorney Richard Gorman
reported on a conversation he had
with Verizon. He was told that a
check for $1,500 had been issued
to the City of Goodhue and the
rest of the money owed would be
coming soon.
Renewable Energy Systems
Gorman said he spoke to Dan
Menschen of Renewable Energy
Systems (RES). Menschen is the
major owner of the company that
is trying to purchase farm land
from Mike and Jim Stehr as well
as from the Mark Stehr Farm. At
the present time, RES has devel-
oped about 7,500 megawatts of
solar and wind power in Minne-
sota.
Menschen said the project would
be up and running in December
2016. This is so they can qualify
for Faribault tax credits and sub-
sidies.
Pool bids
Brandel reported to the council
that the pool committee had agreed
on final plans for the pool that
will be brought to the council at
the next meeting on July 9. Bids
will be let on July 21. The pool
committee is planning an open
house for July 27.
Other business
The council approved a raffle
to be held by the Lions Club at the
chicken barbecue on August 17.
They also approved a temporary
liquor license for the event.
The council set the date for the
tax abatement hearing for July 9
at 5:30 p.m.
Some discussion was had on the
citys spraying to kill noxious
weeds. It was decided that the ben-
efits far outweigh any negative
effects of the spray.
There was also a discussion on
building permits, mainly that they
should be good for only one year.
A plan to solve water back-up
near the Ag Partners fertilizer plant
has not been resolved.
Third Street construction begins

ZUMBROTA The seventy-
two golfers who took part in the
Kalass-Anderson Mens Golf In-
vitational played in just about
every type of weather at Zum-
brota Golf Club. Sun, clouds,
heavy rain and breezy winds were
just some of the conditions the
men battled on Friday and Sat-
urday.
Formerly the Zumbrota Mens
Invitational, the title of the an-
nual tournament was renamed this
year for Bob Kalass and Dr. John
Anderson. Both devoted many
hours over many years to make
this tournament a tradition at the
Zumbrota Golf Club. Kalass
passed away in 2012 and Ander-
son just this past winter.
Roger Archer and Jason Hinz
survived a five-hole shootout to
win this years title. The two
Zumbrota men won their divi-
sion and then held off seven other
teams in the shootout to earn the
victory.
The 45-hole tournament di-
vides the 72 golfers into six di-
visions according to combined
handicaps. The tournament play-
ers then play nine holes against
the five other teams in their di-
vision using match-play scoring.
Division winners were Wally
Lohman and Lonnie Larson,
Roger Archer and Jason Hinz,
Tim Krohn and Terry Buck,
Royal Carlson and Phil Carlson,
Paul Peterman and Brian Gru-
dem and Jamie Varner and Joel
Varner. There were also two wild
card teams, selected by their to-
tal scores which were Gary Lee
and Fred Majerus, and Todd
Kalass and Bob Archer.
Eliminated in the opening
round of the shootout were Pe-
terman and Grudem on hole one
in a chip-off with Lexvold and
Archer. Varner and Varner also
were eliminated by a chip-off on
the 10th hole by Krohn-Buck.
Lohman-Larson were stopped
on the second hole and Carlson-
Carlson saw their tournament end
on the 11th hole.
The remaining four teams in
the tournament headed to the 16th
The final four teams at the Kalass-Anderson Mens Golf Invitational at

PINE ISLAND The Pine
Island Twilight baseball team
hosted Rochester Century on
Friday, June 27, and came away
with their second one-run win
of the season, 8-7. It was the only
game of the week, and it saw the
Panthers move to 6-0 on the sea-
son.
Pine Island will hosted Cen-
tury again on Tuesday, July 1. Af-
ter the July 4 break, the team
will resume action on Tuesday,

go ahead runs in the fifth inning
Jeric Christianson started on
the mound for PI going four in-
nings, giving up seven runs, three
earned, six hits and three walks.
He struck out four and had four
wild pitches. Matt Lien came in
to pitch over the last three in-
nings and threw shutout base-
ball for the win. He gave up one
hit, one walk, and struck out four.
After some sloppy defense in
the early going, the PI squad
played some outstanding defen-
sive baseball and worked out of
a Century rally in the sixth in-
ning, with a successful pickoff
play at second base being one of
the keys to shutting down the
Rochester threat.
After making three errors in
the first three innings, the team
played errorless baseball over the
last four innings. Aaron Gillard
threw out three Century runners
attempting to steal.
On offense, the local team
made use of three walks, four
hit batters and seven hits to score
their eight runs. Braden Aakre
had a single and two RBI, while
Austin Sinning went 2 for 3 with
an RBI, and Jeric Christianson
was 1 for 3 with an RBI. Aaron
