Hand-lettered sign painting

By Marilyn Anderson MAZEPPA Mazeppa Mardi Gras Panel Jam is expected to draw 75-100 American and international sign painters March 4-8. The event will mark the fourth letterhead meet that local sign painter and artist Mike Meyer, and his hometown of Mazeppa, have hosted since 1999. Other local meets took place in 2004 and 2005. The five-day meet will include seminars, discussions, and painting at Meyers sign shop at 189 1st Ave N in Mazeppa. Based on previous meets, it is not uncommon for local residents to stop by

to see what projects are being painted or hear a lively discussion. Additional activities, meals, and entertainment are planned for the artists and guests accompanying them, during their visit. For a village the size of Mazeppa to host an event this size, support from the community is essential. Meyer said the help from local businesses, organizations and individuals allows him to keep costs down for those who travel to Mazeppa for the event. In addition to the option of staying at area hotels, attendees often stay in the homes of area residents. If

In addition to the activities planned for the meet attendees, the public is invited to two events. On Thursday evening, March 6, the movie Sign Painters will be shown at the State Theatre in Zumbrota at 7:30 p.m. The movie, directed by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon, is an 80-minute documentary about the dedicated practitioners, their time-honoured methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. It features the stories of more than two dozen sign painters working throughout the United States including Meyer. A trailer of the movie can be seen at http:// signpaintermovie.blogspot.com/ A book of the same name was published in November 2012, and Meyer will be available to sign copies before and after the showing of the film, which he will also introduce. On Saturday evening, March 8, a public art and sign auction will be held at the Mazeppa Community Center beginning at approxi-

Sign painting is the art of painting on buildings, billboards, murals, barns, or other objects, primarily for the purpose of announcing or advertising products, services and events. Up until the

1980s, all were hand-lettered with brush and paint. But with the advent of computer technology, the craft has all but disappeared and is now taught in only a few schools. Meyers dad was a barber who also painted signs between haircuts and showed his son how to do it. Besides teaching at workshops and meets in the United States, Meyer began teaching hand-lettering workshops internationally over ten years ago. This month (February 2014) Meyer has been traveling in Europe, conducting

two-day workshops in London, Berlin, Warsaw, and Amsterdam, before returning to Mazeppa to make final preparations for the Mazeppa Mardi Gras Panel Jam. At his workshops, Meyer teaches the basic foundations of drawing and brush lettering, including what letters have to be built like and filling in. Four lettering styles are taught: gothic, thick n thin, casual and Meyers favorite: script. The most important thing, however, according to Meyer, is for it to be fun.

The top team for the girls was the juniors. The senior boys went on to win in the finals moving them up to the championship playoffs against the co-ed staff team. The tournament ended with the staff team winning the championship. The week-long celebration ended with a scheduled half-day of school on Friday and a snow dance on Saturday at the school.

Relationships
From Devils Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher

Relationships are the most important factor in our lives. Some of you may say, Fisher, why are you stating the obvious? While others may say, You are wrong, it is the economy. Or it might be some other factor. An endless list of choices exists from which to choose. Relationships are easy to make the first time, easier to destroy, and then extremely hard to rebuild. What is the difference between a good salesman and a great salesman? A good salesman sells 100% of the quota set, plus or minus 5%. A great salesman sells 200% or more. The secret of the great salesman is relationships. He builds strong, positive relationships between his/her customers and himself. Do you have a favorite car or truck dealership? Is it the brand or the dealer or maybe both? When you decide you want/need a replacement vehicle, do you shop around or do you go to that dealership? If you have a strong relationship with a salesman or the service team, it is one-stop shop-

ping. My mother had a strange habit when it came to grocery shopping. She had established relationships with the butchers and bakers in one store and did her other shopping at a competitors store. She felt she was getting the best value for her money. I believe in recognizing every worker in the store. They are all important to me. One of my high school summers, I worked in a grocery store. When I spent a summer at college, I helped out at the local hamburger stand. That place had a reputation in Lafayette that went beyond Purdue University. On Sundays, people would wait in line in their cars to get lunch after church. Sometimes when I walk through a store where I have established relationships, I tease anyone I see with their hands in their pockets. (Why, whats wrong with putting your hands in your pockets? It sends a message that you do not have enough to do. In todays world, that is reason enough to have the career guidance meeting with the manager.) Why do I enjoy relationships and people will go the extra mile (or 1.6 kilometers) for you? Recently one of my daughters used the relationship for a surprise birthday party for me. I was set up beautifully. Saturday, I went gro-

cery shopping. Sunday, my spouse insisted that we needed to go to go again. I asked, For what? and the answer was we need to go. When we entered, we had to get coffee for five adults. We sat down at the biggest round table. Suddenly, twenty-some employees surrounded us and presented a cake with a dragon done in the frosting (dark chocolate cake). Then they sang Happy Birthday and wished me well. Afterword, I went to the bakery to find out who made the cake and frosting. I was told she wasnt there on Sunday. Then I heard another bakery clerk who turned to a third clerk. She asked, Is that the guy who we made the dragon cake for? The reply was yes. Oh, I thought it was for someone celebrating his 100th birthday! What can you say after that!? These relationships also let me show interest in the other person. Existence is another factor of being alive. Recognizing each other is a way of saying, You exist! Try this: the next time you are eating out in a sit-down restaurant, every time someone fills your water glass or coffee cup, give them a Thank you! Mentally keep track of the change in the servers attitude toward you. Your thank yous are recognition of their existence. See if it makes a difference. Until next week.

A quality that is too rare today

To the Editor: The publisher was correct in writing that a great teacher was lost with the passing of Mr. Quiring, or K Q as we sometimes called him. He was my teacher and B team basketball coach in the mid to late 1960s. He was an avowed Democrat; to put it mildly, I was not. It did not matter to him. What mattered were ideas, your capacity to think independently, and your ability to articulate and defend your position. That quality is too rare today. I can honestly say that many share my view that he was the most inspiring teacher we had in high school. He was fair-minded, and he did not care what others thought of you or your family, a great plus for me as a vulnerable youth whose highly-principled parents, regrettably, were mistreated by small-minded town leaders at the time. Although I attended his beloved St. Olafs archrivalCarleton Collegeand had many wonderful teachers there and in law school, Mr. Quiring made an indelible impression on me that has continued to shape my own teaching of thousands of law students over the years. I hope Mrs. Quiring and Kens whole family know that he had that breadth of impact, on me and many others. Lyman Johnson Robert O.

ZM SCHOOL BOARD UPDATE

Needless to say, from a weather perspective this has been a challenging winter for schools. The part that worries us is that there are still a few weeks where were at risk of having more days called off. Decisions on further makeup dates will be made as necessary, but we are as hopeful as all of you that we will not be forced into using days around the Easter holiday or tacking them on at the end of the year. The administration, board and community members are in the middle of a strategic planning process for the school district. Our goal is to create a vision of where we want our district to be in the next five to ten years. Balancing our goals in the areas of academics, arts and athletics is a process that never ends. The growth of the use of technology in schools will continue to accelerate. We are always looking for ways to be cost efficient in the process of enhancing ZMs use of technology. We also need to watch the infrastructure needs of our district. Our high school, for instance, is now over 60 years old and is in great shape, but like all of the buildings in our district we need to stay on top of things in order to prevent an even larger liability in the future. At this time, we have gym floors in our Zumbrota Primary and Mazeppa Elementary buildings that have needed upgrades/ repairs for many years. We have scoreboards in all locations that are aged to the point where we are not able to get parts for needed repairs. We are going to start looking at ways to fund these issues, and it could end up being a combination of using capital fund dollars, fundraising efforts, and perhaps corporate sponsorships. Were open to ideas. Finally wed like to recognize the service that Ken Quiring gave to our school district. He was the type of educator who could reach every type of student. He was instrumental in developing Advance Placement courses for the students in our district. There probably isnt a student who went through his/ her history/social studies courses who did not come away from it without knowing about the legislative branches and the Electoral College or without an appreciation for politics in America. We have been given some ideas for a way to honor Ken within the district. Please contact one of the board members if you would like to help in this effort. We will miss Ken in so many ways. Our condolences go out to his wife and family. Brian Haugen Jim Wendt Mark Krier Stephen Rosenthal Brian Grudem Pete Hinrichs

Mardi Paws Masquerade animal rescue fundraiser is March 1
By Marilyn Anderson ROCHESTER Area volunteers invite you to join them for their first ever Mardi Paws Masquerade on Saturday evening, March 1, from 7-10 p.m. at the Rochester Arts Center, 40 Civic Center Drive, SE. Tickets are available online at http://www.campcompanion. org/ The evening is planned to capture the sights, sounds, and festivities of New Orleans, while raising funds for Camp Companion. Camp Companion is an all-volunteer animal rescue group, dedicated to preventing future generations of homeless animals.
Evening festivities

Lowell Hinrichs and Loretta Broas practice their waves in anticipation of their upcoming duties after being crowned king and queen on Valentines Day at Zumbrota Health Services. They were selected by staff, residents, and family members and will reign over festivities during the coming year.

Hinrichs and Broas are crowned Valentines Day King and Queen
By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA Residents, staff, and guests filled the main lobby of Zumbrota Health Services (ZHS) as the 2014 Valentines Day King and Queen were crowned the afternoon of February 14. Lowell Hinrichs and Loretta Broas were chosen by residents, family members, and staff, to reign over celebrations throughout the coming year, including the Covered Bridge Festival in June. Lacey Boesen, ZHS Director of Activities and Volunteer Services, welcomed everyone to the coronation and emceed the event. Residents Don Aarsvold and Charlie Lukes gave love-themed readings prior to Boesen announcing the 2014 royalty. Following a drum roll, Hinrichs was crowned King by Lisa Trom, ZHS restorative nursing assistant. After he took his seat of honor, Hinrichs, now facing those gathered in the lobby, gave a wave to everyone. Next, it was time for Trom to find the Queen among those gathered. Broas was quite surprised and even tearful to have been selected queen. She said it was quite an honor to be chosen. Following coronation, volunteer Rose Durhman played several songs on the piano, including Let Me Call You Sweetheart. Cookies and cupcakes were served as refreshments.

To capture the masquerade theme, the Arts Center will be decorated, reminiscent of New Orleans French Quarter. Costumes for the evening are not only welcome, but encouraged. The festive atmosphere will also be captured with special Mardi Paws masks. Local artists will display their work, with an opportunity for attendees to help homeless animals by purchasing pieces of art. Costumed students of the arts will serve desserts from Catering by Design while music is provided by Take Two and Friends. Robin Wolfram, KTTC reporter and animal lover, is emceeing the event.
Volunteers

Sara Linker Nord of rural Zumbrota has been a volunteer with Camp Companion, an animal rescue group, for seven years. In addition to fostering cats and dogs until adoption, she and her husband, Craig Nord, have adopted a cat, Charlie, and a dog, Beebe.

Volunteers are the sole source of strength of Camp Companion, giving of their time and following the organizations mission. Camp Companion, founded in 2003, has an aggressive spay/neuter program targeting farm, feral and stray cats, centered on the approach of trapneuter-return (TNR). Zumbrota volunteers include

Sara Linker Nord, Joan Wood, and Carol Post. Linker Nord, a volunteer for seven years, said the program is somewhat unique in that besides its focus on TNR, it doesnt have a shelter for homeless animals. Instead, it relies on volunteers to provide foster homes for the animals until adoption occurs. Adoption events are held each Saturday at Rochester pet stores with information about specific available pets found on the organizations website. A modest adoption fee helps cover the services the pet has received (spay/neuter

Food shelf needs support during March FoodShare campaign

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA The Zumbrota Area Food Shelf is once again participating in the Minnesota March FoodShare campaign. For more than 30 years, the March campaign has been making a major difference in relieving hunger by raising money and food to stock nearly 300 food shelves throughout Minnesota. The annual effort brings together families, businesses, faith communities, schools, civic groups, and individuals to raise more than half the food distributed each year by Minnesota food shelves. All food and monetary donations given to the Zumbrota Area Food Shelf stay at and are used by the local food shelf only. The service area includes, Zumbrota, Mazeppa, Wanamingo, Bellechester, and Goodhue. The pounds of food and dollars raised during the March campaign qualify for two incentives: 1. Minnesota FoodShare provides a portion of their Food Fund dollars to our local food shelf, based on the pounds of food collected and dollars raised in our community. 2. The Alan Feinstein Foundation provides a $1 million incentive fund for hunger programs across the nation. Our local food shelf will receive a portion of the fund based on amount of food and dollars donated during March.

Dangerous driving conditions February 13

Photo by Alicia Hunt-Welch

ZUMBROTA After a morning with temperatures in the 30s on February 13 the temperatures dropped to the teens and wind conditions picked up in the afternoon. Strong winds blew snow and caused drifting along many roadways, making for unexpected and sometimes dangerous driving conditions. Traffic was brought to a standstill on Highway 52 south of Zumbrota after a semi truck went off the road and jack-knifed in the median near 480th Street. Traffic was backed up to south of the Pine Island exit.

Library to host performance and discussion about frac sand mining

ZUMBROTA The Dreamery Rural Arts Initiative of Wykoff, in collaboration with Heart of the Beast Puppet Theatre of Minneapolis, presents a public tour of Lets Talk About Sand, a performance event encouraging discussion about the frac sand mining industry. They will be performing at the Zumbrota Public Library at 4 p.m., Monday, February 24. This event is free and open to the public. Lets Talk About Sand features a fun, 15-minute performance of What the Frack?, a Cantastoria performance using handpainted imagery and live music. The show is both informational and poetic, and includes time for audience input. Performers are Spring Valley/Wykoff residents and Heart of the Beast veterans. Lets Talk About Sand also includes a screening of excerpts from the documentary The Price rural Fillmore County.

of their donations, while helping people during their greatest hour of need. In 2013, the local food shelf served approximately 3620 people (some duplicated due to return visits) and distributed approximately 126,400 pounds of food. Regarding specific usage and concerns locally, Director Deb Walstad said, I think the cost of food is one our biggest concerns. The usage is up along with the family size. I expect we will see a trickle down effect with the cold winter and heating bills this winter. In a few months we will probably see an even larger increase. She added, We can use any nonperishable foods as well as cash donations. Kid-friendly food is always a good choice.

In 2012, more than 544,000 Minnesotans received federal food assistance one out of every 10 people in the state. One-third of these were children. Another quarter were the elderly or disabled adults. The total is more than the combined populations of Minneapolis, Rochester and Apple Valley.
How to donate

Donations can be mailed to Zumbrota Area Food Shelf, PO Box 43, Zumbrota, MN 55992. Volunteers will be available every Tuesday during the month of March from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. for donations. The Food Shelf is located at 242 Main Street with access from the back via the alley between Main Street and West Avenue off 2nd Street.

New Chromebooks available for use in the library

ZUMBROTA This week three new special items became available for checkout at the Zumbrota Public Library. Theyre called Chromebooks, and they are lightweight laptop computers designed exclusively for online activity. Patrons can check out a Chromebook for use within the library as an alternative to using one of the stationary personal computers. This provides the option of sitting anywhere within the library for greater comfort, convenience, and privacy. For instance, parents might like the option of using a Chromebook at a table in the childrens area while their kids read, play with toys, or use a kids computer. Or someone studying or filling out applications might like to take a Chromebook to one of the study carrels along the back walls of the library. The Chromebooks will only be available for use within the library; they cannot be taken home or outside. Patrons will be asked to leave their drivers license at the front desk while they are using a Chromebook. The funds for purchasing the Chromebooks were provided by a grant from the Zumbrota Community Trust.

Volunteers sought for Volksfest

By Tara Chapa GOODHUE The Goodhue Jaycees are excited to announce that the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Tracy Lawrence will be headlining the Volksfest concert this summer (June 13-14), with Joe Diffie opening for them on that Saturday night. The Volksfest Committee has asked for more volunteers to help with the event. Volunteers normally help serve food, clean up, run carnival activities, and give out prizes. In 2013, activities and games included the Udder Run, craft show, kiddie parade, pool games, skid loader relay, bean bag tournament, city parade, pedal pull, and watermelon feed. The committee is open to hearing about new ideas for Volksfest. Currently, the Volksfest Committee has five volunteers to work at Miss Goodhue event, one for carnival events, three for the parade, two for the quilt show, and one for the fireworks. The Jaycees play a large role in Volksfest. They are, however, busy running the dance as well as their own events. Additional help could be used for non-profit groups such as FFA, 4-H, and church youth groups. Volksfest is a time for residents to come together and celebrate being a community. City clerk Lori Agre said that all volunteers have a great time working together and develop a sense of accomplishment as everything is pulled together. She added that while she and her family volunteer their time, they also go to all the events and have hosted many visitors at their house a family from Brazil has attended twice in the past few years. If you are willing to volunteer your time at Volksfest or have an idea for an activity and wish to work this activity, please stop by the city hall to sign up, call 651923-4310 or email the Volksfest Committee at goodhuevolksfest@ hotmail.com.

Goodhue sells land to county for road improvement

By Tara Chapa GOODHUE The Goodhue City Council approved the selling of 0.85 acres of land along County Road 6 to Goodhue County at the Wednesday, February 12 meeting. The county plans to expand the county right-of-way so they can upgrade and widen the road. The city will also temporarily rent another 1.5 acres to the county through December 12 for construction and the stockpiling of dirt. Before the end of the construction the county will return the rented property to the city in the condition it had before construction or better. The city will be paid $8,500 per acre for the purchased property and $325 per acre for the rented property. The rented land was previously rented to a farmer. If this project impacts the amount of land that the farmer is able to operate on, then the city will adjust the rent the farmer pays, based upon the acreage counter that the farmer has on his equipment. The city will get two usable accesses from the property directly on to the newly upgraded County Road 6. The county plans to advertise for bids in April and begin the project in June. The planned detour will be County Road 7. The county plans to complete the project in 110 days. The projected cost of the project, according to the county, is $5 million. The county will receive $3.2 million in federal money and the rest will be paid from state aid. The county estimates that about 2,000 cars go through the County Road 6 right-of-way per day.

The council voted to support including the surrounding Southeast Minnesota League of Municipalities (SEMLM) members city projects in the bonding bill as long as the City of Goodhue is able to include a municipal swimming pool project. Every two years the legislature and governor work on this bill to provide funding for publicly owned buildings, property, and land. In particular, state agencies have buildings or property that are in need of repair, renovation, or replacement. State colleges and universities tend to have a large request because they have a lot of buildings. To be bondable the project has to be publicly owned, be of state or regional significance, and be a capital projectmeaning it has to be bricks and mortar and not for ongoing operation costs. The state raises money for these projects by selling general obligation bonds on the bond market. The state then pays the debt service to pay off the bonds over time. SEMLM promotes regional legislative policy and is run by members. It encourages neighbor cit-

ies to work together and is open to cities of all sizes. SEMLM serves the Minnesota counties of Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha, and Winona. Some of the surrounding member city projects include: Oronoco Lake Shady project; Kasson/Mantorville wastewater treatment facility; Red Wing west fire station and training facility, levee road and waterfront improvements, and Sheldon Theatre; Zumbrota Old Highway 52 reconstruction within city, Goodhue Pioneer Trail (along with other cities); Cannon Falls Mill Towns Trail

The city approved giving city employees $350 additional dollars per month in their paychecks to assist in paying for health insurance. In addition to that, city employees will receive a two percent increase this year as well as a two percent increases next year. The city did not agree to place a cap on wage increases at this point.

Obituaries
Rae Ormsby 1945-2014
Pine Island. She regarded her grandchildren, Isaac, 10, and Alma, 5, as a special blessing. Rae was a member Pine Island United Methodist Church, where she was active on the Worship Committee and Church Council, and loved teaching the high school Sunday School class. After retirement, she volunteered at the Salvation Army Health Clinic in Rochester and the Pine Island History Center, where she was known as the loom expert. She had a special love for Pine Islands Van Horn Public Library, where she served on the Board and did a variety of volunteered tasks, such as shelving and creating displays. In her spare time, Rae was an avid reader, enjoyed worldwide travel, and loved to sew anything from church banners to prom dresses. Rae was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her husband Rick of Pine Island, son Gabe (Heidi Eschenbacher), daughter Rebekah Ormsby (David Lofquist). and grandchildren Isaac and Alma, all living in Minneapolis. Diagnosed with advanced cancer over a year ago, Rae came to regard the past year as one of best of her life. She spent extra time with her immediate family, including week-long excursions to Disney World and Itasca State Park. She was in touch with many lifelong friends and was encouraged by cards, flowers, and notes of appreciation. She loved life, felt blessed beyond words, and only lamented that it was coming to an end. She died a truly grateful and happy woman, trusting a gracious God for her future. A memorial service and remembrance will be held at Pine Island United Methodist Church, 200 North Main Street, at noon on Saturday, February 22. The family will host a calling hour beginning at 11 a.m. at the church. A luncheon will follow at the American Legion Hall, 108 1st Avenue SE. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested for Pine Island United Methodist Church, Seasons Hospice in Rochester, or the Pine Island Van Horn Public Library.

Check temperature of water coming into homes

PINE ISLAND Pine Island Public Works is receiving an increasing number of calls regarding water service lines freezing due to the deep frost this winter. The lines that are freezing are the lines going into individual homes. None of the city-owned water mains have been affected. Public Works advises customers to regularly check the temperature of the water coming into their homes. If the temperature falls below 40 degrees, notify city staff by calling 507-356-4591 and let a faucet run a pencil-width constantly until the frost level decreases.

Goplens celebrate 70th Valentines Day at Pine Haven

By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND Pine Haven Care Center residents celebrated Valentines Day with a variety of treats, cookies, and valentine greetings donated from local groups and businesses. Couples also enjoyed a special couples lunch, after which everyone was invited to play valentine Bingo. For one couple, Valentines Day has always been a special occasion. Philip Goplen has been giving his wife Elsie pink roses in the same glass vase for more years than he can remember, and this year was no exception. The Goplens have been married for 70 years. The couple recently celebrated their milestone anniversary, and when asked on Valentines Day how long they had been married, Phillip knew exactly: Seventy years, two months, and ten days. He always gives pink roses to his wife for every special occasion. The Goplen couple have been residents at Pine Haven since November of 2013 and this Valentines Day was extra special for the couple because they finally will be able to share a room together. Though their rooms were always close by, they longed to be together in the same room, just as they had been for the past 70 years. So, they patiently waited for a double room to become available and now they got their wish a very happy addition to an already special day.

By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND Over one hundred people participated in the Pine Island Winter Fest event which took place on February 8. The fun and educational outdoors event was sponsored by the Pine Island Image Committee, a branch of the Economic Development Authority, and the Pine Island High School Environmental Club, Roots and Shoots. Winter enthusiasts glided across the snow on cross country skis, hiked through the snow on snowshoes or simply enjoyed taking a beautiful walk along a candlelit trail in the moonlight on one of the nicer nights of this winter season. Over 500 votives were used to light the three-mile trail. Boy Scout Troop 69 helped patrol road crossings. The Eagle Bluff Environmental Nature Center also held three winter classes during the event, the Big Freeze, Winter Survival, and Introduction to Snowshoeing. About forty-five people participated in the different outdoor classes. Mary Beth Bakeberg, one of the event organizers, said people came and went all through the af-

School Board Recognition Week is February 17-21

The Minnesota School Boards Association has set February 1721 as School Board Recognition Week in Minnesota. It is a time to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our society. Public school districts across the state will honor local board members for their commitment to their community and its children. It takes strong schools to build a strong community, and these men and women devote countless hours to making sure our schools are helping every child learn at a higher level, Zumbrota-Mazeppa Superintendent Tony Simons said. They make the tough decisions every month and spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide the kind of accountability our citizens expect. Simons said the key work of school boards is to raise student achievement by: Creating a vision for what the community wants the school district to be and for making student achievement the top priority;

Establishing standards for what students will be expected to learn and be able to do; Ensuring progress is measured to be sure the districts goals are achieved and students are learning at expected levels; Being accountable for their decisions and actions by continually tracking and reporting results; Creating a safe, orderly climate where students can learn and teachers can teach; Forming partnerships with others in the community to solve common problems; and Focusing attention on the need for continuous improvement by questioning, refining and revising issues related to student achievement. Simons said, School board members give the Zumbrota and Mazeppa citizens a voice in education decision-making. Even though we make a special effort to show our appreciation in February, their contribution is a yearround commitment. and Patty Miller warm up at From left to right, Laure Nelson (Eagle Bluff naturalist), Mook Narongkidpanit, Mary Schimek, Emalie Stolp, ZM School Board members will Clint the clubhouse fire at Winter Fest. and Abby Schimek stand next to a shelter that was built in the winter survival class at Pine Islands Winter be recognized at the February 24 Fest. board meeting in the ZM High School media center.

Wanamingo prepares for water tower and well house project

By Alicia Hunt-Welch WANAMINGO City Engineer Brandon Theobald of WHKS presented well house repair and water tower painting project details for consideration to the Wanamingo City Council during its February 10 meeting. In 2012 the city began looking at options for repainting the water tower. Recently, damage occurred at the water well house, requiring Theobald to look into additional project costs. He said advertising for project bids will include various options. One part of the project will consist of painting the downtown water tower off Main Street. Companies will be asked to submit bids for the cost of full sandblasting and recoat painting, and the cost of pressure washing and recoat painting. Part two of the project will be well house A and B repairs and/or upgrades. Work on well house A was included in the citys capital improvements plan. But after well house B sustained significant damage on January 11, repair work totaling about $25,000 was added to the project list. Work for well house B will be covered by insurance, minus the citys $1,000 deductible responsibility. It was noted that the work for well house B covered by insurance would be replacing equipment to pre-existing conditions. Theobald said the city was using one well house as the primary water supplier and the other as a back-up, but added that there are advantages from having two working well houses. One would be the increased supply of water for large fire emergencies. A $4,000 rebate based on upgrading to load efficient well house equipment may be available. This is being looked into. The city may opt to solicit quotes for well house work, as opposed to the bid process, if it is allowed by bonding and legal requirements. Using the quote process would be cheaper for the city as it would not require the citys engineering firm to solicit and facilitate the process. The city council approved specification plans for the well house repairs, rehab and water tower painting project, and to advertise the projects for bids. City Administrator Michael Boulton said financing for the water tower painting project has been in place since the fall of 2011 and is done through Minnesota Rural Waters Micro Fund Loan Program for up to $200,000. A low interest rate loan, expected to be between 1.5-2.5%, would address a majority of the project not covered by insurance and deductible. According to the project timeline, bids would be received by the city on March 3 and the council would consider for approval on March 10. Preconstruction meetings would occur in April and construction would begin in May. If all goes according to plan, work would be completed in August.

During the last month Haggstrom and Schaefer made repairs to the grader after it broke. A heater was replaced in the well house and a main valve was damaged; a replacement valve was on hand so that was installed. The streets have been showered with sand and salt but the bitterly cold temperatures have made them ineffective on ice-covered streets. The city received a letter from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency confirming receipt of the annual biosolids land spreading report for 2013. This required action is recorded for the protection of human health and preservation of surface and ground water qual- WANAMINGO On January 19, Boy Scout Troop 76 of Wanamingo held a Court of Honor awards ceremony at Wanamingo Lutheran Church. ity.

For many weeks now the large cast and crew have attended daily double practices. Show times are Saturday, March 1 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 2 at 2 p.m. in the high school auditorium in Kenyon. Tickets will be available at the auditorium doors prior to performances. Veteran school drama director Randy Hockinson said, I love the story of Les Miserables. It has timeless meaning to so many people who have read the book, watched the movie, or seen the play. Eleven years ago the KW drama department presented the non-musical version of the play, but Hockinson said, Now we wanted the challenge of doing the musical. This musical is daring and different from many musicals in the fact that it does not include one spoken word. Because of this, the job of musical director Stephanie Schumacher is an important and demanding one. Hockinson said, There are so many talented singers and actors at our school who will be able to express themselves through this show. The over 50 students involved in this show are passionate about telling the story through song. The cast includes many athletes from winter sports. To accommodate their schedules, back-to-back double practices are being held most days of the week. The dedication of the cast and crew to the longer than normal hours is commendable, Hockinson said. The production will feature the talents of Amos Avery, Ryan Pelkey, Hunter Stanke, Alex Roosen, Mitchell Ades, Luke Steberg, Veda Avery, Mason Stevenson, Sarah Benrud, Kaite Bohn, Casey Baumgartner (also serving as assistant director), Marcus Irrthum, Caleb Greseth, John Nelson, Bailey Paquin, Hudson Ades, Ben Bohn, Haylie Vezzoli, Luke Nelson, Ella Lee, Eli Bushman, Melanie Knealing, Kate Rechtzigel, Corissa Kern, Kalley Seeger, Kadey Seeger, Bailey Auseth, Rosie Briemhurst, Anna Washburn, Allison Timbeross, Maddie Born, Amber Olson, Celia Brazelton, Taylor Helland, Ashlee Blastervold, Cass Kern, Ebelin Morales, Maddie Patterson, Amanda Horn, Victoria Holmes, Sophia Holmes, Jessi Thompson, Sophie Kyllo, Kyla Kincaid, Faith Eggerstedt, and Tyler Craig. Backstage crew members include Fran Miles, Emily Pliscott, Alex Trapp, Sam Boughton, and Ellyn Buelke. Hockinson said, The generous support of and help from the school district and communities has been humbling and motivating to those of us working on stage. This is the biggest and most challenging show ever done at Kenyon-Wanamingo and we have been stretched. When performance time comes we will tell the story the best we can with what we have.

The council approved a temporary gambling permit for the Wanamingo Fire Relief Association. The fire department will conduct a raffle on March 1 in conjunction with their annual Vintage Snowmobile Show and Chili Cook-off. Boulton said the city council will be entering a chili in the cook-off. Mayor Ryan Holmes thanks Fire Chief Scott Goodman for inviting the council to the departments annual banquet. In 2013, the Wanamingo Fire Department and First Responders responded to 133 emergency calls. They were as follows: 57 medical calls in the city; 12 fire calls in the city; 14 motor vehicle accidents in Leon Township; 4 medical calls in Leon Township; 3 fire calls in Leon Township; 9 fire calls in Wanamingo Township; 6 medical calls in Wanamingo Township; 5 motor vehicle accidents in Wanamingo Township; 8 medical calls in Minneola Township; 5 motor vehicle accidents in Minneola Township; 6 medical calls in Cherry Grove Township; 1 fire call in Cherry Grove Township; 1 motor vehicle accident in Cherry Grove Township; 2 medical calls in Roscoe Township; 1 call out for storm watch in the area.

Rehabilitation project for Wanamingo awaits approval

By Alicia Hunt-Welch WANAMINGO Karen DuCharme of the Southeastern Minnesota Multi-County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (SEMMCHRA) presented information at a public hearing on February 10 regarding the Small Cities Development (SCDP) program. SEMMCHRAs program would rehabilitate eleven owner-occupied housing units in the older part of Wanamingo and in the 31-unit Springcroft Apartment buildings by allowing owners to use the Rental Rehabilitation Deferred Loan Program funding through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The financing for the housing rehab program will be based on affordability and a percentage of household income to qualify for deferred loans. SEMMCHRA is working to secure about $552,000 in SCDP funds for the project to benefit low and moderate income households. DuCharme said federal funds were handed down to the state and are distributed on a competitive basis. Wanamingo residents were surveyed last year about the age of their property and types of building rehabilitation needed. SEMMCHRA received the surveys and the project area was determined. In addition to SCDP funds, other sources of funds for the rehabilitation project would include owners matching funds and municipal dollars. DuCharme said if funding for this project is approved by the state, Wanamingo will be asked to pay $1,000 for the project. DuCharme said this shows the city is invested in the community and supportive of the project. The total project cost would be $890,911. This is the second time this project has been submitted for state consideration. After the application was submitted the first time, the state asked for more information. A second public hearing will be required as part of the process. The council approved the SCDP application on February 10 at its regular meeting. A similar redevelopment project was offered in Wanamingo in 2005, and a county-wide project was approved in 2007.

Goodhue stumbles at Dover-Eyota
By Faye Haugen EYOTA Even though they were one seed lower than DoverEyota in the Section 1A wrestling duals, Goodhue had high hopes of pulling off a slight upset and heading to Rochester for the second straight year. That was not the case, as fourth-seeded DE earned an easy 42-18 win over the fifth-seeded Wildcats in Eyota, Thursday. Goodhue got off to a 9-3 start through 120 pounds, but the Eagles reeled off 13 straight points through 145 pounds before Casey Deneen earned a decision at 152 pounds. But the Wildcats would score just six points on a first period fall by Charles Dahling at 170 pounds over the last six weights. Goodhue ends the season with an 18-11 dual meet record. The Wildcats will graduate seven seniors in Matthew Lexvold, Riley Huemann, Gavin Luhman, Matthew Deneen, Zach Scott, Ben Ramboldt and Josh Dahling.
Goodhue 18 - Dover-Eyota 42 106 - Mariano Bigalk lost 6-2 to Michael Nelson; 113 - Kaleb OReilly pinned Colin Jorde, 3:20 120 - Joel Gadient won 5-0 over Marcus Otomo; 126 - Bailee OReilly lost 9-2 to Dakota Welsh; 132 - Matthew Lexvold lost 6-3 to Ryan Keach; 138 - Mason Huemann lost 11-0 to Ben Boynton; 145 - Logan Breuer lost 14-11 to Michael Otomo; 152 - Casey Deneen won 12-10 over Colton Welsh; 160 Riley Huemann lost by technical fall to Keaton Schaefer; 170 - Charles Dahling pinned Reid Seelhammer, 59 seconds; 182 - Ryan Schoenfelder was pinned by Cord Anding, 51 seconds; 195 - Zach Scott was pinned by Nick Richards, 1:09; 220 - Ben Ramboldt was pinned by Noah Teed, 2:39; 285 - Josh Dahling lost 1-0 to Tanner Welsh

KW is denied a trip north again

By Faye Haugen ROCHESTER You would have to search far and wide to find a wrestling program that is as consistent as the Kenyon-Wanamingo wrestling team. The Knights qualified for the State Class A meet in 2008 and 2009, but they have been on the outside looking in from that point on. For the fifth straight year, the Knights finished as the Section 1A second-place team. For the second straight year Chatfield took top teams honors, and the Gophers will head north to St. Paul for the Class A tournament. Zumbrota-Mazeppa sent the Knights home from the Section 1A meet from 2010 through 2012 with the second-place trophy. We needed to be perfect against Chatfield and we werent. We made a few mistakes and they made us pay for them. We just didnt get the job done, and Im a little disappointed with the way we wrestled, said Coach Matt Ryan. But we cant be disappointed with our season. We finished with a 21-2 record, and our only losses are to Kasson-Mantorville and Chatfield and both of them are headed to State. Chatfield When Kenyon-Wanamingo and Chatfield squared off in a nonconference dual on December 19, everything went right for the Knights. They didnt give up bonus points, got some wins that were not expected and they wrestled very well in a 35-27 victory. The seventh-ranked Gophers and eighth-ranked Knights were destined to meet again, but this time it did not go as well for KW, and they fell 41-14 in the Section 1A championship match in Rochester, Saturday. This match was almost the opposite of that first match. I thought we were a bit of an underdog coming in, but I didnt expect to lose that bad, lamented Coach Ryan. This is the fifth year in a row that we didnt get it done. The top-seeded Knights got off to the start they wanted when Ethan Cota earned a decision at 106

ZM gives Chatfield a scare

By Faye Haugen ROCHESTER The ZumbrotaMazeppa wrestling team did so many things right in Saturdays Section 1A semfinals against Chatfield. The third-seeded Cougars earned some wins where they were not expected and they didnt give up a lot of bonus points. But ZM came up a point short of moving into the finals, falling 33-32 to the seventh-ranked Gophers. Chatfield When Chatfield and ZM tangled in a non-conference dual on January 31, the Gophers earned a decisive 46-16 win. That was not the case on Saturday. We showed up to wrestle, said Coach Link Steffen. We had our chances. We left some points on the mat, but so did Chatffield. I cant be disappointed in how we wrestled. Hayden Stensland got ZM got to a great start with a fall at 106 pounds. Joey Majerus gave ZM a 12-6 lead with a pin at 120. But Chatfield won the next five weights, three by decision, one by major decision and another by a fall for a 24-12 lead. Dillon Downes started ZMs comeback with a decision at 160, followed by a fall by Noah Prodzinski and a techncial fall by Hunter Prodzinski to give ZM a 26-24 lead. Chatfield posted a pair of major decisions at 195 and 220 to wrap up the win, taking a 33-26 lead. Charles Landon Majerus tries to use Zumbrota-Mazeppas Seth Shane Bode came through with a St. Tuppers head gear against him in the 220-pound match in the Section fall at 285 pounds to pull ZM to 1A semifinals in Mazeppa, Thursday. 33-32, but that was as close as ate four seniors in Cody Heitman, over Lane Heim; 145 - Cody Heitman pinned they would get.

pounds. But KW would have to wrestle six more matches to get their next win. By that time they trailed 18-3. Trent Brossard got KW back on track with a decision at 145, handing fifth-ranked AJ Riley his third loss of the season. But the second-seeded Gophers then reeled off two falls to increase their lead to 30-6. Luke Rechtzigel earned a decision at 160 and Drew Sathrum won by technical fall at 170 to draw KW to 30-14. When Chatfield earned a major decision at 195 pounds, they sealed their second straight section title. Its frustrating, said Coach Ryan of losing in the finals for the fifth straight year. But the Knights have plenty to look forward to next season with the bulk of their lineup returning. KW graduates just three seniors in Jace Clawiter, Trent Brossard and Kyle Munstermann. I like what we have coming back. We will just have to spread some kids out and hope some grow more than others. But it sure would have been nice to get the win this season.

145 - Trent Brossard won 3-2 over AJ Riley; 152 - Kyle Munstermann was pinned by Harvey Friedrichs, 2:49; 160 - Mason Stevenson was pinned by Alex Haffner, 3:27; 170 - Luke Rechtzigel won 7-0 over Austin Dahl; 182 Drew Sathrum won by technical fall over Ethan Wright, 17-1; 195 - Bailey Paquin lost 12-0 to Cody Bly; 220 - Austin Jackson lost 3-0 to Ian Morrison; 285 - Seth Donkers lost 9-1 to Jacob Blees

Dover-Eyota The Knights had little trouble with Dover-Eyota , in Saturdays semifinals, rolling over the Eagles 57-9. KW rolled to a 51-0 lead before DE scored. The Knights saw Bradley Kish, Matthew Houglum, Mason Stevenson, Luke Rechtzigel, Drew Sathrum and Austin Jackson all win with a pin.

McNallan earns her fifth trip to State Lakeville North stops DC girls again
By Faye Haugen INVER GROVE HEIGHTS Most of the Pine Island gymnastics team saw their season come to an end at the Section 1A meet at Simley High School in Inver Grove Heights on Saturday. But one gymnast will keep her season going for one more week. Senior Siera McNallan placed in the top four in three events at the Section 1A meet to advance to the State Class A individual meet that will be held Saturday at the Pavilion at the University of Minnesota. This will be McNallans fifth trip in six years to the state meet. Siera qualified for State on bars, floor and all around. This is her fifth State trip, only missing out her eighth grade year, said Coach Chris Templeton. She had a season best 9.5 on the floor, and it was nice to see her hit her floor routine. The last two years she has taken a fall in this event. She also landed her vault, but didnt receive the score she deserved in my opinion. McNallan placed third on the bars and fourth on the floor and all around. Competition starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Austin ran away with the Section 1A title with 149.225 points. Byron/Lourdes was second with 237.60 and the Panthers placed third with a score of 135.25. The girls had a great meet today. We started on the floor. The girls have been working on perfecting their floor routines this week and it really showed today. Our counting scores were all over eight for the first time this year. The girls really hit the vault, and all the girls swung good bars, pointed out Coach Templeton. Weve had our struggles with beam this year, and although we didnt completely overcome them we did have a season high team score. We also had season high scores on vault and floor. Our team total of 135.225 was also a season best. The Panthers peaked at the right time of the season by evidence of the personal best scores they put up. Brittney Arndt (floor, vault, bars, beam, all around), Brook Schaefer (vault), Katie Schultz (vault) and Allie Anderson (beam) all had personal best scores during the meet. Caledonia/Spring Grove After having to reschedule three times, the Panthers wrapped up Southeast Gymnastics conference action on Tuesday at Caledonia Spring Grove. Pine Island was a 130.10-127.025 winner. Vault went well for us, with the girls taking four of the top five spots. Bars didnt go so good. We had three falls and our form was off tonight. The floor was both good and bad and we finished on the beam. Weve spent a lot of time on beam the last two weeks and its starting to show. We only counted two falls, and our team score on beam of 32.775 was our second highest score of the season, explained Coach Templeton. Placing against Caledonia were Siera McNallan, first on the bars, vault, floor and all around; Katie Schultz, second on the floor; and Brook Schaefer, second on the beam and third on the bars and all around. Schultz scored a personal best on the floor, and McNallan had a season best score on the floor. The Panthers will graduate three seniors from this years team in Siera McNallan, Allie Anderson and Katie Schultz. By Faye Haugen OWATONNA For the second straight year Lakeville North stopped the Dodge County girls hockey team from realizing a trip to the State Class A hockey tournament. North handed the secondseeded Wildcats a 6-1 defeat in the Section 1AA finals in Owatonna on Thursday. It was just not the Wildcats day as they were held to a season low 11 shots on goal by the Panthers. Lakeville jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first period and were up 3-0 before Dana Rasmussen scored for Dodge County midway through the second period. North answered that goal with two more of their own for a 5-1 lead after two. The top-seeded Panthers added a solo goal in the third period. Gabby Suhr turned back 27 shots in goal as Dodge County ends the season at 22-6. The Wildcats will have the majority of their team back, but they lose two starters to graduation in Emily Gunderson and Darby Dodds. Reserves Samantha McElmury and Eryn Larson also graduate.

The Zumbrota-Mazeppa dance team made their eighth straight appearance at the State Class A jazz dance meet on Friday at the Target Center in Minneapolis. The Cougars finished ninth out of 12 teams taking part, failing to make the finals.

ZM places ninth at the State Meet

By Faye Haugen MINNEAPOLIS After placing third a year ago in the State Class A jazz dance meet, Zumbrota-Mazeppa had high hopes again this season. Dancing last out of 12 teams in Class A on Friday at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Coach Jen Stumm was happy with the way her team performed. But when the six finalists were announced, the Cougar squad was not among them. Yeah, I was surprised we didnt make it to the finals, but the scoring for our team was all over the place. We finished ninth overall, but we were ranked as high as third and as low as 12th. I just dont get it, said Coach Stumm who also saw scoring in last weeks Section 1A high kick meet cost her team a return trip to State. At the section meet, the Cougar high kick team was ranked first, second, third, fourth and eighth. They missed placing fourth and advancing to State by a half a point. Even though they went home without a medal, Coach Stumm said making it to the state meet is a great experience. Im sad that our seniors did not get to dance in the finals, but this experience makes our younger dancers hungry to return, said Coach Stumm, pointing out, It wasnt that long ago that we were battling Cannon Falls for last place in meets. The girls now on our jazz teams have never known what it is like to not advance to State. The Cougars will graduate seven seniors in Abby Hinchley, Amber Klankowski, Anna Budensiek, Lindsey Renken, Jennica Darcy, Lisa Ecker and Michelle Nygaard. Returning dancers include: juniors: Caitlyn Heitman, Maddie Lindhart and Olivia Gadient; sophomores: Breana Haag, Katie Grudem, Elyse Lodermeier, Rachel Tschann and Sophie Holm; and freshmen: Kaitlyn Hinchley and Katie Lawler. We lose some really good dancers in out seniors, but that creates opportunities for our younger girls. A lot of the girls attended the high kick meet on Saturday, and many of them were taking notes, remarked Coach Stumm. We will be looking for some of the girls to step up and be leaders for next year. We want to make sure we get back to State again next year.

ZM tops PI for fifth straight win

By Faye Haugen ZUMBROTA The ZumbrotaMazeppa girls basketball team extended their winning streak to five games with a 30-24 win over Pine Island in Zumbrota, Friday. In a very low scoring game, ZM led 16-12 at the half and 20-16 with 10 minutes to play. The Cougars were able to hit enough free throes and baskets down the stretch to pull out the win. ZM hit 8 of 13 over the last five minutes of play. The Panthers also suffered poor shooting at the free throw line, hitting 10 of 17 in the game, but they were just 5 of 13 over the last five minutes of play. ZM built up a 27-19 lead with 47 seconds to play, but Pine Island forced two turnovers on inbound passes to narrow the score to 27-24 when Noelle Langworthy hit the front end of a one-andone free throw with 18 seconds to play. Alyssa Quam grabbed the rebound and PI quickly fouled Molly Lawler who hit both of her free throws to make it 29-24 with 17 seconds to play. The Cougars had six players score, but none hit double figures., Hailey Dykes led ZM with nine points. Niki Fokken netted 11 points and Sam Heeren had 10 points for Pine Island, but the Panthers had just two other players score in the game. It was nice to give our eight seniors a win in the last home game of their careers, said ZM coach Scott Paukert. I thought we rebounded very well on the defensive end which limited Pine Islands Pine Islands Sam Heeren looks to the basket as Zumbrota-Mazeppas shot opportunities.
