Zumbrota Holiday Craft Expo held at ZM School

By Tawny Michels

ZUMBROTA Ivan R. Amman of Faribault was selling handmade woodcrafts with ICrafts at the 18th annual
Zumbrota Holiday Craft Expo on Saturday, November 7, at Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School. He has been
producing these crafts for 18 years, and thinks this will be his final year of making them. The school was
crowded with crafters, home businesses, independent consultants for direct-sales companies, and local
businesses. Food sold and donations for visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus will benefit student fundraisers at
the school.

From left to right, Bill and Donna Landwehr of St. Cloud, and Stan and Ruth Nerhaugen of Red Wing were at
the Holiday Expo informing Zumbrota residents that a new Lions Club Chapter will be opening in town in the
next month. Stan is the Lions District Governor.

school. The porcelain figurines
were first created from the sketch
art of Sister Maria Innocentia
Hummel in the 1930s. They became more popular when soldiers,
such as Chris, brought them home
from Germany.

Also featured will be an art exhibit from the local Finnegan family. Each of the five Finnegans
Greg, Cheryl, Meagan, Tom and
Sam, plus Meagans husband Pete
Miller and Toms fiance Kari
Olson have a different specialty
and will contribute examples to
the exhibit. Sam will show a video

robot, created by members of Tesla
Works, a club at the University of
Minnesota, in addition to his unusual lamps. A demo video of
games and 3-D models created by
Tom will also be part of the exhibit, as well as Karis jewelry
and fabric art. Meagans work

Vicki Morey will show visitors
how to make greeting cards and
also discuss scrapbooking;

reminisce about the paddle boat
trip he and friend Brad Rud took
down the Mississippi in 1979.
Today Sigrist lives in rural Pine
Island and Rud lives in Alaska.
Rud remembers fondly that when
they departed from Lake Itasca,
he wondered, What have we gotten ourselves into? Hundreds of
people met them for a big picnic
when they reached Red Wing via
the paddleboat. When Rud and

Sigrist returned to Pine Island, a

parade was held in their honor and
Mayor Cliff Edstrom designated
November 17, 1979 Pine Island
Paddle Queen Day.

In 2004, the Collins-Glamm house
was rented by the Historical Society, and on August 27, 2005, the
Society purchased the home. This
will be the 12th holiday celebration in this facility.

He bought into the idea, and 200

or more novels later, he has an
editorial staff who have organized
and managed the timeline, characters, and stories of the Jedi, the
Sith, and regular people who become or are heroes. Later, his company added video games. Some
of the movies use real actors and
some are animations. The first
movie he produced was a memory
put-on or camp about the science fiction of the early 40s (the
height of World War II). He hit a
nerve with that and, as they say,
the rest is history.
Another writer/artist, Brian
Wood, is doing a comic book about
the American Revolution. He has
done a lot of research on the history. Another of his popular works
was about the early period of Iceland. He moved from being an
independent to joining one of the
larger publishers and expanding
his audience.
If you keep an eye on the people
who write, draw, pencil, ink, color,
etc., you will find them moving
around the industry. They are

successful and their skills continue

to grow. A major character such
as Conan was created along with
stories (novels and short stories)
in the 1920s to 1930s by Robert E.
Howard. Several iterations of the
novels have been done by various
publishers. Go to the library and
you can find other authors have
expanded the storyline of Conan.
Another Howard character that he
briefly wrote about in a Conan
short story is Red Sonja who in
the comics, fights with a sword
and most of the time wears armor
made of small plates or discs sown
together into a bikini. Her skimpy
armor distracts the bad guys and
allows her to cut off their heads.
If blood and gore isnt your thing,
the Disney stories are being published again. Uncle Scrooge,
Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and
the rest are available and are still
fun! Elfquest is another series produced by a husband and wife team
(Wendy and Richard Pini). If you
want a fun read, look on the internet
for Elfquest. Until next week.

Comic books
From
Devils
Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher

The classic comic book still

exists. The publishing of these
books is back to being profitable
and fun. We have the full spectrum from Disney characters to
Superman to independents doing
adult level topics. Some tell a
straight story, while others are
overflowing with both political and
non-political satire. The demand
for artists is high. The industry is
consuming artwork at a fantastic
rate, and the writers are having
their work gobbled up.
The crossover from comic book
to book to video game to movie is
a never-ending process. For instance, Star Wars was first movies, and then came comic book
adaptations of the movies. George
Lucas was presented the idea of
using novels to expand his story.

Falls fantasy flowers

As
The Worm
Turns
By Jeanne Truestedt

When walking the garden paths

in the cool fall, I see tulips, daffodils, and grape hyacinths filling
all the empty spaces between hostas, daylilies, and other perennials nipped by the first frosts. A
spot without a tiny tuft of spidery
green from already planted grape
hyacinths says I can plant spring
bulbs in that available space. So, a
yellow plastic knife placed there
denotes daffodils, a red knife denotes tulips, etc. The coded knives
represent next years blooming
plants even though they are only
in my minds eye.
This is prime planning time because one can recognize the existing plants and still see where bulbs

may be added without guesswork.

Its also a prime planting time,
because the weather is coolly cooperative with bugs at a minimum.
And its prime purchasing time
(unless you mail order) because
garden centers are bursting with
bulb options, many including
marker tags lest you forget what it
is you bought.
Ideally, one wants to get all plant
divisions, bulbs, etc. in the ground
three to six weeks before the first
hard frost, so the plantings can be
well watered and mulched before
the real onset of winter weather.
But lets be realistic and admit
that occasionally our timing is off
and we miss the first snow by a
matter of hours. The bulbs arent
going to turn us into the garden
police for cruelty or neglect, but
the squirrels might take advantage of the fresh soil to dig up and
nibble on all that tulip candy we
just planted.

Pine Island Elementary announces

October STARR award winners
By Nichole Lien
PINE ISLAND Pine Island
Elementary School Principal Cindy
Hansen recently announced the
October Stop, Think, Act Respectfully, and Responsibly (STARR)
award winners. Each month, the
school holds a Positive Behavioral
Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
assembly where one student is
chosen from each grade level who
exemplifies a certain character trait.
The trait for October was responsibility.
Kindergartener Mick Stork was
nominated because he is responsible when helping others, always
ready to learn, and helps keep his
classroom clean. Jaxon Hartzell,
the first grade award winner, was
chosen because he is a good listener when following directions,
works quietly, performs quality
work, and is always willing to help
others. Second grade award winner Quinten Fangman displayed
responsibility by making up all of
his work after missing several days
of school, helping keep the school
clean, and always helping others.

Zumbrota
Red Wing resident advises Zumbrota to
resist countys waste management plans
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA A Red Wing
resident attended the Zumbrota
City Council meeting on Thursday, November 5, to advise the
city not to agree with Goodhue
County on their waste management plans. The council agreed to
table any vote on what to do with
the City of Zumbrota waste until
the next meeting.
Allen Miller, a longtime resident of Red Wing, said that he has
been a consultant working on waste
management issues for the past
Jerry Grover Vangsness and Conway Marvin were the featured speakers twenty to twenty-five years. This
at the Zumbrota Area Historical Societys annual meeting on October scheme by Goodhue County is an

idea that has the potential to significantly raise waste management
costs with no benefit to residents,
he said.
Miller also noted that the per-

mit for the incinerator that the

county is considering using has
had an expired permit since 2009.
He claims that the pollutants and
lead omitted per day alone is
enough to kill small children, or
at the very least make them very
ill.
He said it was important to note
that recycling has not been a part
of the plan from the start and was
openly discussed at a past meeting held in Red Wing. He urges
Goodhue County to focus on the
importance of recycling and really start to fight for it. He also
pointed out that he feels the real
problem is the Pollution Control
Agency, as they are at the center
of this plan more than Goodhue
County is.
It is my opinion that this com-

turning over or disturbing the soil.

Cover crops are crops that farmers plant late in the growing season to keep the soil covered through
the fall, winter, and early spring.
Its important to keep the soil
covered and keep roots in the
ground, said Larsen. Cover crops
add plant diversity to the corn and
soybean crop rotation.
At his family farm, Larsen is
seeing results.
The first year, the soil was so
hard that it was hard to get the notill planter into it. But now the soil
is more mellow and easier to plant
into. Im seeing a lot less runoff
from the fields, and the poorer parts
of the fields are producing better
than they have in the past.
According to no-till farming
experts, no-till fields absorb and
hold much more rainwater than
conventionally farmed fields. Areas with a large percentage of notill acres also hold onto their soil
and fertilizers much better than
conventional fields, meaning that
we see less soil and phosphorus
running off into the surface water.

munity should not agree to send

any of your waste to Red Wing or
the incinerator, Miller concluded.
Mayor Rich Bauers recommendation that the council take time
to think about the information and
wait to vote on deciding what will
happen with Zumbrotas waste at
a later time.
Council did approve contract
bids with Advanced Disposal for

for commercial waste, 5-0.

The council approved to switch

its health care plan to Blue Cross
Blue Shield, which quoted a price
$34, 240 lower than Health Partners per year. The plan also includes a $6,000 HRA liability.
A new speed limit sign for 435th

Street was denied by a Minnesota

Department of Transportation representative who said it does not
qualify for a review. Council voted
to then put in new signs to warn
people to slow down coming up
the hill.
Council approved to increase
sewer and water bills by twenty
cents per month and to increase
infrastructure fees by one dollar.
Fire Chief Mike Boraas discussed the importance of a 15%
increase in the fire department
budget. Per Mayor Bauers request,
the council approved the increase.
Police Chief Patrick Callahan
said that the Zumbrota Police
Department was turned down for

Grover and Marvin

speak at Historical County
Society meeting
Healthy soil farm grows crops, soil, and learning
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA The Zumbrota
Area Historical Society hosted its
annual meeting on Monday, October 12. The two featured speakers this year, Conway Marvin and
Jerry Grover Vangsness, spoke
about their families extensive
involvement in the history of Zumbrota.
Conway Marvin

Marvin began the evening discussing how his grandfather ran

one of the lumber yards in Zumbrota and was a partner at the bank.
He was also the mayor of Zumbrota at one point, a member of
city council, on the library board,
and was one of the first librarians
in Zumbrota.
Telephone service began in
Zumbrota in 1896 when Dennis
Ward installed a line for S.B.
Barteau between his hardware store
and his residence on the west side
of town.
In 1905, Conways grandfather,
Frank G. Marvin, and his father,
Frank C. Marvin, purchased the
telephone company. They installed
a switchboard, which allowed
phone calls to be made around
town. Lines were also extended to
Wanamingo, Goodhue, and Hader.
At that time, one operator transferred all calls through the switchboard. As phone usage increased,
subscribers demanded night-time
coverage. In October 1916, the
company began 24-hour-a-day
phone service.
In 1939, crank phones were replaced, but operators still directed
the calls. Conway Marvin returned
home from World War II in 1946
with his wife, Avon, and took over
management of the telephone company the following year. His father continued to work in the business until his death in 1970.
Dial phones were introduced in
1964, but customers still had to
dial 0 to have an operator complete long-distance calls. But in
1976, direct dialing was installed
and the need for long-distance

Jerry Grover Vangsness

Vangsnes is the ninth generation in her family to be in the United

States after her family came over
from England in approximately
1635. Her great-grandparents, Eli
and Pamela, originally resided in
Bethel, Maine, before coming to
Zumbrota in 1868.
Her grandfather Cornelius
Barker Grover, who changed his
name to Barker Cornelius Grover,
started the Livery Barn in Zumbrota back in 1886. The business
was very successful in using horses
for transportation as the first automobiles were not available in
Zumbrota until sometime in 1904.
In 1905, one of the oldest horses
at the Livery Barn, Smokey, passed
away while bringing residents to
the evening train. There was a big
news article on the death in the
paper, partially due to the fact that
the horse was 27 years old.
When her grandfather, Eli,
passed away the town closed the
school down so that everyone was
able to attend his funeral, as he
was once the beloved superintendent of the school.
The Grover family is probably
best known for their continued
work in the automotive/transportation business with the Grover
Auto Company in town, but
Vangsnesss father, Charles
Grover, was actually an architect
who built a lot of the structures in
and around Zumbrota.
Charles Grover, known as CL,
has accomplishments such as the
twin houses on Main Street, the
large stucco house past United
Redeemer Church, the old Zumbrota High School, and the
Gunderson House in Kenyon.

By Kevin Strauss
Zumbro Watershed Partnership
If a picture is worth a thousand
words, then a demonstration farm
is worth a thousand conversations.
To enhance the ongoing dialogue
with farmers about conservation
techniques, the Olmsted County
Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is setting up a
Healthy Soil Farm to show crop
producers the costs and benefits
of using cover crops and no-till
farming techniques in their operations.
The farm is located on 60 acres
of county land at the intersection
of East Circle Drive (Olmsted
County 22) and Collegeview Road
in southeast Rochester.
We thought that rather than
having the county staff spend time
mowing weeds, it would be smarter
to use the property to teach landowners about how cover crops and
no-till farming practices can protect the soil, reduce farming costs,
and keep our rivers and lakes
cleaner, said Olmsted County
SWCD Director Skip Langer.
According to Langer, even if
farmers in other parts of Minnesota are having success with a
particular conservation practice,
that doesnt mean that farmers here
will adopt it. The Healthy Soil
Farm is an educational endeavor.
The goal is to share economic and
yield data of various conservation
practices with area farmers. It will
also show how these practices can
build healthier soils and lower costs
for farmers in the Zumbro Watershed.
The start

The Olmsted SWCD is working with Byron farmer Martin

Larsen to farm the property. Larsen
has been using no-till farming practices on his property for the past
three years and is a big advocate
for cover crops. No-till farming is
a practice in which the farmer uses
a specialized piece of machinery
to plant seeds in a field without

The need

Using cover crops and no-till

farming techniques provides many
benefits for individual farmers and
for area rivers and lakes. However, a 2014 survey of tillage practices in the Zumbro Watershed
found that only about four percent of the acres showed no-till
farming techniques. Whats more,
fewer and fewer acres even had
the 30 percent crop residue that
SWCD staff recommend as a way
to protect a field from erosion.
No-till farming and using cover
crops is not practiced much, said
Larsen. The barriers seem to be
the added risk for farmers, and a
lack of education about how to
use these techniques.
According to Larsen, farmers
who use no-till on their land have
a narrower margin of error on their
land. They may have an increased

Olmsted County Healthy Soil Farm on East Circle Drive in Rochester.

risk of getting a lower yield from

their fields. Its harder to farm
this way, said Larsen. You have
to apply your fertilizers in a different way, you have to adjust your
planter more often, and people who
arent comfortable with the added
attention to detail and potential
risk just wont do it.
Another factor that farmers consider is their bottom line. Farmers
get paid the same for a bushel of
corn that comes off a conventionally farmed field as they do for a
bushel of corn that comes off of a
no-till field. According to no-till
farmers, no-till farming costs less
per acre than conventional techniques.
The results

This year the soybean field on

the Healthy Soil Farm produced
an average of 52 bushels per acre,
which is about average, according to Larsen. Hes already planted
a winter rye cover crop, and next
year hell plant no-till corn on the
plot. County staff will also start
testing the soil on the property to
determine how much organic
matter is in the soil, and how much
microbial activity is going on in
the soil. High microbial activity
indicates healthier soil. Generally

speaking, conventional aggressive tillage that covers large

amounts of crop residue with soil,
the kind that most farmers use in
the watershed, decreases the
amount of organic matter in soil,
leads to more soil compaction, and
decreases the amount of natural
microbial activity in the soil. These
conventionally plowed soils can
erode more easily, and absorb and
hold much less rainfall than notill fields.
According to some researchers,
the increased field run-off, increased river pollution, increased
average river flow (the Zumbro
River carries at least 50 percent
more water than it did 100 years
ago, and the Minnesota River has
doubled in water flow volume),
and larger and more frequent flooding events in southeastern Minnesota may be due, at least in part,
to modern farm practices that make
some farm fields shed stormwater
almost as quickly as pavement.
Since there are no requirements
that farmers implement conservation practices on their land, county
SWCDs use demonstration
projects and education to encourage farmers to protect their private soil resources from erosion
and our public drinking water and
river water resources from fertilizer pollution.

ZM High School to perform The Reluctant Dragon

By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA ZumbrotaMazeppa High School students will
present the fall production of The
Reluctant Dragon at the ZMHS
auditorium Friday through Sunday, November 13-15. On Friday
and Saturday, the doors open at
6:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7
p.m. On Sunday the doors open at
1:30 p.m. with the show starting
at 2 p.m.
Why I thought opening on Friday the 13th was a good idea is
beyond me, play director Tom
Ersland joked.
Set in the medieval fairytale
village of Tea N Crumpet, The
Reluctant Dragon tells the tale
of a young man, Joey Bisfick
(played by sophomore Cooper
Utley), whose love of dragons and
inquisitive nature lead him to venture off in search of a dragon that
has reportedly been terrorizing the
countryside. What he finds instead

is a sweet old dragon and three

baby all-singing, all-dancing
dragonettes, whom he quickly
befriends. Things seem peaceful
until the mayoress of the village
hires a dragon-slaying knight to
hunt down the elderly dragon. This
fun, family-friendly musical is
adapted from the childrens book,
The Reluctant Dragon, by Kenneth Grahame. The play was written by Mark Baron and Gary
Cohen.
I have been in past musicals at
ZM and wanted to continue, as I
have fun every single year, Utley
said. His co-lead, senior Kellie
Nordquist, said she was drawn to
be in the play because she wanted
to try something new. Emily
Haugen, who plays one of the dragons said that her favorite part, along
with the other dragonettes, is getting to wear the dragon and do the
Dragon Stomp dance.

ZUMBROTA The Zumbrota

Community Trust awarded its 2015
grants from the Langsdorf Fund
on Tuesday, October 27, at
Bridgets Caf. A total of $13,800
was given to ten local organizations: Zumbrota Community Band,
$1,900; Zumbrota Public Library,
$1,200; Bridges of Zumbrota,
$500; ZM Community Education,
$1,000; Zumbrota Girl Scouts,
$1,200; Partners in Prevention,
$500; Zumbrota Ministerial Association, $1,500; Zumbrota Area
Arts Council, $2,000; Zumbrota
Area Food Shelf, $2,000; Crossings at Carnegie, $2,000.
Almost all of these groups applied for larger grants than the Trust
was able to fund, but it is the feeling of the gifting committee, which
oversees the process, that the Trust

should try to at least partially fund

as many requests as qualify for
grants under its guidelines.
In addition to the Langsdorf
grants, for which an application is
necessary, the Trust also distributes funds to projects in need of
support in the local area from its
undesignated funds. This year,
for example, the Trust is making a
$6,000 commitment to the Stabilize Families group to help in funding the 20 Teeth Dental Clinic and
eyewear for ZM students in need.
The Trust also earmarked $5,000
to support the Encore Project (State
Theater) of the Zumbrota Area Arts
Council.
Requests and qualifying projects
abound, but funds continue to be
needed. The Trust welcomes your
questions on how you can help

your community through charitable giving, either on a yearly

basis or as you can, through planned
giving or estate planning. For more
information, please contact the
Zumbrota Community Trust at Box

KW Community Education review

report released to the public
By Alicia Hunt-Welch
WANAMINGO BG Consulting conducted a KenyonWanamingo Community Education review and evaluation on
August 12 and 13. The facilitators were company president
Bridget Gothberg and Hannah
Puczko, a longtime community
education director. Both interviewed staff, school board members, and citizens of the district.
The final 23-page program evaluation report was presented by KW
Superintendent Jeff Pesta during
the October 12 school board work
session.
Pesta asked the board to decide
if the full report or a condensed
version of the program review
should be released to the public.
Marilyn Syverson said she believed
the full report should be released.
Karla Bauer and Jennifer Smith
also agreed. The full report will
be made available on the districts
website, or it can be obtained at
the district office in Wanamingo.
A recap of the report follows.
The review of the community
education program was to gain
insight into and recommendations
for the maximization of the program. The review gave the district the opportunity to look at the
strengths and challenges of the
program, and to effectively position community education for the
future.
In addition to Puczko and
Gothberg, the review team also
consisted of Zumbrota-Mazeppa
Superintendent Gary Anger, TriCity United Community Education Director Kari Gorr, school
age childcare and youth enrichment coordinator Tad Hagen, youth
program supervisor Amy SkareKlecker, and Orono school district business director Thomas
Stringer.
Phase One of the evaluation reviewed 138 documents, including records, charts, community
education publications and other
materials for review.
During Phase Two the review
team conducted a series of interviews with experienced professionals who understand and are familiar with all aspects of community
education and recreation. Interviews were conducted in large and
small groups. These groups included building and grounds supervisor/technology director Paul
Clauson, athletic director Randy
Hockinson, elementary principal
Katy Scheruman, and secondary
principal Matt Ryan; school board
members and advisory council
members; community education
program participants and/or parents and community education
program staff; and representatives
from various community groups.
Gothberg and Puszko also spoke
individually at length with Pesta,
community education assistant
Shannon Johnson, and KW business manager consultant Todd
Netzke.
All individual and group session comments gathered on
strengths and challenges were
listed in the report. The review
team discovered several themes
that provide guidance to how the
department and programs could
move forward.
A. The importance of determining the most effective and affordable model for providing leadership to the community education
department, currently at a crossroads and in need of a model to
serve the district and community
best. With that said, the review
team provided the following options, in no particular order:
1. Continue to have the superintendent serve as the administrator overseeing the department.
2. Develop a partnership with a
neighboring district to share the
position of community education
director.
3. Develop a partnership between
the cities of Kenyon and

of the position of community education director who would function in a role that would benefit

During the work session school
board member Debb Paquin said
she was intrigued by options two
and three. Syverson liked option
two, and Bauer liked option one
as a temporary solution, but ideally a community education director should be devoted to the
position. Doug Kyllo and Greg
Dotson favored option three. Bauer
said the district needs to determine if they have the finances to
support a full or part-time director position.
The report also highlighted and
gave recommendations for the
following themes for the success
of KW Community Education:
The importance of the community building aspect of community education.
The importance of relationship building.
The importance of an engaged,
active advisory council.
The importance of maintaining quality and effectiveness in
all community education programs
and services.
The importance of communications and community engagement.
Potential for integration of
community education with K-1 to
support student success.
In conclusion, the report stated,
The community education department and the Kenyon-Wanamingo
School District, deserve praise for
taking the courageous step of participating in a Local Community
Education Review. While community education has experienced
some difficult times in the past
few years, with appropriate lead-

ership and improvements, the department is poised to become an

effective and essential part of the
school district. The time is opportune for intentional community and
relationship building.
After Pesta completed his presentation on the review, and school
board members discussed their
thoughts on the options, Pesta
shared his recommendations for
moving forward:
Use a business office professional to effectively operate the
community education fund. Use a
quasi-business manager type
model, to handle fund management, and interact with the district business manager. Establish
work hours necessary to effectively
do the position, skill level, and
job description.
Created an updated job description for the community education program manager. The position would report to the community education director or superintendent.
Develop a middle level administrative position for learning
school readiness and family educator; this would include overseeing KW Kids. The position would
report to the superintendent.
Continue to consolidate director responsibilities within the
superintendents office for the remainder of the year. Explore partnerships with other districts for a
joint licensed community education director who would provide
executive level leadership and strategic planning for regional services.
Pesta said other districts have
expressed initial interest in a possible partnership to share a community education director. Members of the board were in favor of
exploring this option to determine
if it is realistic.

County
Learn the story of Rest Island and
prohibition in Goodhue County
RED WING On Thursday,
November 19, from 6-7:30 p.m.,
the Goodhue County Historical
Society will host a fascinating program on the prohibition era in
Goodhue County, led by local historian and author Frederick
Johnson. This program is co-sponsored by Red Wing Community
Education, and will take place at
the Goodhue County Historical
Society at 1166 Oak Street. Tickets can be purchased through Red
Wing Community Education by
calling (651) 385-4565.
Hear the story behind the United
States failed social policy through
the lens of Goodhue County.

Frederick Johnson, former teacher

and the author of several books on
local history, will present his research and conclusions regarding
prohibition in Goodhue County.
Prior to prohibition, some townships in the county already outlawed alcohol while others did not,
leading to confusing and complex
legal issues throughout the county.
Prohibition further complicated the
situation.
Rest Island was an early treatment and spiritual retreat center
near Lake City, and is a key piece
of the Goodhue County prohibition story. Rest Island was one of
the first institutions of its kind,

and its founder lobbied for prohibition at the national level. Rest
Island was located in Central Point
Township, before Central Point
was annexed by Lake City and
Florence Township. This program
is offered in conjunction with the
featured Central Point Township
exhibit, currently on display at the
Goodhue County Historical Society.
For more information on this
event or the Goodhue County Historical
Society,

Follow-up to Southeast Health Policy

Summit scheduled for November 16
RED WING Senator Matt
Schmit (DFL-Red Wing) will
moderate a continuation of the
successful Southeast Health Policy
Summit recently held in Cannon
Falls. The discussion is scheduled
for Monday, November 16, in Red
Wing and will follow a similar
format of brief remarks, Q&A, and
discussion among a variety of key
state and local officials, including
officials from Mayo Clinic, the
health insurance industry, MNsure,
and Departments of Commerce,
Health, and Human Services. The
summit is free and open to the
public, and it will take place from
4-5:30 p.m. at the St. James Hotel
Summit Room. An informal reception will follow the discussion.
The health policy summit in
Cannon Falls was a success on
several fronts, Schmit said. Its
important for officials in St. Paul
to understand the concerns of individuals, small businesses and
employers caught in an expensive

and uncompetitive health insurance environment. Just as important, constructive dialogue requires
a full understanding of the factors
contributing to this challenging
environment, including the limitations of public policy to change
significant market forces.
The November 16 discussion
will continue to explore factors
contributing to the premium rate
differential between southeast
Minnesota and the Twin Cities
market, and it will identify policy
proposals that have been or may
be introduced to address it.
We live in rapidly changing
health care and health coverage
environments, and there is tremendous interest in a variety of healthrelated topics ranging from premium affordability to MNsure
operations to the future of countybased purchasing, said Schmit.

4-H
Cherry Grove Busy Gophers

By Kate Rechtzigel
The meeting for November 1
began at 7 p.m. I really wish the
meetings were at 1 p.m. on Sundays, like they used to be. It would
be a perfect time for us as dairy
farmers. Next month we are planning on having the meeting on
December 6 at 7 p.m. with a potluck, Toys for Tots, and donations
to the food shelf.
The next thing on our list was
the 75th anniversary of the Cherry
Grove 4-H Club. We are planning
that it should be on a Sunday afternoon in July. We decided to
talk to some old members and see
what they say. Mike Patterson
suggested that we should have an
old member and new member softball tournament. We are going to
make a banner, and the ideas will
be looked at next month. We would
even like to try having a barn dance
with our current members in Cherry
Grove, of course.
So I ask all of the old members
of Cherry Grove out there to send
me your vote. Would you get a
75th anniversary t-shirt and would
you rather have the big get-together
at Holden Park or at Dale, where
we always have met. You can send
me your vote through email or
just tell me in person sometime.
There will be more information
coming at you in the next few
months, so stay tuned and remember Cherry Grove needs to stay in
Cherry Grove.
The meeting for December will
be held on December 6 at 7 p.m. at
Dale Lutheran Church. If you
would like to join, either email
me at katerechtzigel@gmail.com
or just show up to the meeting.

SAVAGE - After trailing 19-0
at the half against top-ranked Minneota, the unranked Goodhue
Wildcats gave the defending State
Class A champions all they could
handle in the second half of
Saturdays State Class A football
semifinal game in Savage before
falling 27-19.
I was so proud of the way the
kids responded after the half, said
Coach Tony Poncelet. We didnt
change a whole lot of things at the
half, but we told the team that they
had to take away what Minneota
was doing up front with their run
offense. We responded with a big
second half.
Tipped passes by a big and physical Viking team caused Goodhue
headaches in the opening half. A
pass interception led to a pair of
touchdowns for Minneota. The first
led to an eight-play drive, capped
by a three-yard run by Garrett
Hennen. Another interception at
the end of the first quarter resulted
in a four-play, 11-yard score with
Hennen running in from the two
for a 13-0 lead. Hennen scored a
third time with four-seconds in
the half on a two-yard plunge.
Their run defense was impressive. We took what they gave us,
but it took a while for us to adjust
to their size and speed, remarked
Coach Poncelet. But the kids really went out and played with everything they had in the second
half and I cant ask for more. We
went down swinging.
The Cats got the spark they
needed in the third quarter when
Calvin Ryan grabbed a pass tipped
by Aaron Austin. The Goodhue
senior raced 54 yards to cut the
lead to 7-19 with Mariano Bigalks
PAT.
Peterson scored again with 7:15
to play in the fourth quarter when
he snared a six-yard pass from
Jacob Pasch to close the gap to
13-19.
But Minneota came right back
when Bryce Bruner ran in from
the eight and then ran in he conversion for a 27-13 lead with 2:26
to play.
Goodhue wasted little time, scoring on a 15-yard pass from Pasch
to Sam McNamara. The Cats
onside kick failed, but the Goodhue
defense forced a three and out,
getting the ball back with 24 seconds to play. A short gain was
followed by a spiked pass to stop
the clock. With four seconds to
play, Pasch tossed the ball as far
down the field as he could with
Ryan Schoenfelder making a 44yard reception, but he was short
of the end zone with no time left
on the clock.
The Minneota team was very
disciplined on defense and we

It takes both Bailee OReilly and Calvin Peterson to bring down Minneotas 6 220-pound running back
Garrett Hennen during Saturdays game in Savage. Hennen was a force on both sides of the ball, leading the
Vikings in tackles and rushing yards.

Calvin Peterson, Sam McNamara,
Garrett Huemann, Nathan Altendorf, and Chase Danielson; offensive starting lineman Sam Kyllo; and defensive starter Casey

Our sophomores really grew
up as the season progressed and
they will be counted on next season. Our junior varsity had just
one loss this season, as did our
freshman team, so, hopefully, we
can pick up where we left off,
pointed out Coach Poncelet.

We had to be more one dimen- the ball, pointed out Coach Poncelet who saw his team gain just
86 rushing yards on 32 carries.
Pasch was 12 of 26 passing for
199 yards and he also led Goodhue
with 32 yards rushing on 10 carries.
Those three tipped passes in
the first half hurt us. But I dont
think weve had three tipped passes
all year in all our games combined,
said the Goodhue skipper, who
added, They are the best team
we have faced this year. They have
some very good players and they
capitalized on our mistakes.
Sam McNamara made six receptions for 87 yards and Ryan
Schoenfelder made four grabs for
103 yards.
Casey Deneen led the Cats with
14 tackles, four for a loss. Calvin
Peterson had seven tackles and
Sam McNamara had seven tackles, forced a fumble, recovered a
fumble, and had a pass break up.
Nicholas Thomforde forced a
fumble and made an interception.
Graduation will hit the Wildcats hard with eight offensive and
seven defensive starters needing
to be replaced when practice starts
Besides making the tackle, Goodhues Bailee OReilly tries to rip the ball next August.
I hate to see our seniors leave
away from Minneotas Garrett Hennen in the first half of Saturdays

GOODHUE CO-ED VOLLEYBALL

The playoffs begin on Wednesday

By Ed Stern
Volleyball Commissioner
GOODHUE Farm Kids and
Dani lost again, to Stevies, of
all teams, but they still came back
strong to win the regular season
Goodhue co-ed volleyball championship and get the number one
seed for the tournament.
Alicia Zorn won the Woman
of the Week in a humble, yet
borderline awesome performance.
I did quite well, if I do say
so myself! 35 set assists, 98%
serving, and five aces are impressive. Now, I just have to do
the same next week, and I win
the Woman of the Year, and the
Corvette!
What color do you want, Alicia?
Steve Dankers won, no, stole
the Man of the Week honors.

I paid the price week after

week and got no credit. So I
bought off the committee to get
the trophy at least once before I
win the Man of the Year. And I
want a blue Corvette this time!
Playoffs are Wednesday. Dars
plays Stevies at 7 p.m. The winner of this takes on top-seeded
Farm Kids and Dani at 7:30 p.m.
Second-seeded Brittneys plays
third-seeded Majerus Garage at
7:30 p.m., with the two winners
meeting for the championship
afterwards.

Belle Plaine denies KW a trip to

state for a third straight year
By Faye Haugen
MANKATO For the third
straight year the Kenyon-Wanamingo volleyball team dominated
South Section 2AA play, but for
the third straight year, the Knights

were denied a trip to the State Class

AA tournament by Belle Plaine in
the Section 2AA finals.
The top-ranked Class AA Tigers stopped the Knights in four
games at Mankato, Saturday, 27-

29, 25-13, 25-20 and 25-16.

I was very proud of this team
tonight. They worked so hard and
fought for every point, but it just
wasnt our night, said Coach Jen
Nerison. Belle Plaine is a great
ball club and we wish them the
best up at State.
KW trailed by five points much
of the first game, but they rallied
to pull off a win in the first set, 2927. But Belle Plaine got off to a
20-11 lead in the second game
and the Knights never recovered,
falling 25-13. The third game was
much the same as the Tigers went
on a 9-0 run. KW did narrow the
score to 23-20, but BP pulled out
the 25-20 victory.
The fourth game was close with
KW trailing just 14-13, but the
Tigers took advantage of a number of KW errors to end the match
25-16.
I was very happy with our defense tonight, but we just couldnt
put our play together consistently,
remarked Coach Nerison.
Mara Quam had 13 kills, 27 digs
and three ace serves. Megan Flom
had 13 kills, and Ally Peterson
10. Kasey Dummer had a teamhigh 29 digs. Mia Peterson had 24
set assists, and Corynne Dahl had
two blocks.
The Knights will graduate three
seniors in Alex Christenson, Siri
Quam and Sarah Sahl. These three
