Main Street Pharmacy remodeling project completed in early January

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA After ten days of a remodeling project in early January, Main Street Pharmacy customers will notice the difference when they enter the longtime Zumbrota business at 370 South Main Street. In addition to new carpeting throughout the gift and card section and pharmacy areas, the conversion to American Greetings as the vendor for cards and associated products, resulted in new display cases and streamlining and enlarging walk areas. Mike and Laurie Brengman purchased the store in April 1990. Mike noted that other updates have been made over the years, and he is pleased with the recent improvements. American Greetings Corporation has been creating and manufacturing social expression products for over 100 years. Products include a wide array of greeting cards and also party goods, gift wrap and bags, stationary and other products. Brengman, in walking around a new card display running the length of the store, pointed out a new line of humorous cards and a large selection of Recycled Paper Greetings. He said, There will be brand new merchandise each season and turnover will occur more quickly than in the past. The project also provided an opportunity to reorganize other dis-

PIs Winter Fest is February 8

By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND The Pine Island Image Committee, a branch of the Economic Development Authority, and Roots and Shoots, the Pine Island High School Environmental Club, are sponsoring the first annual Pine Island Winter Fest on Saturday, February 8. The event begins at 2 p.m. with three winter classes from Eagle Bluff Environmental Center at the Pine Island Schools outdoor classroom area. The outdoor classroom area is located at the pond on 8th St. SE. Eagle Bluff naturalists are bringing classes entitled Big Freeze, Winter Survival, and Introduction to Snowshoeing. Each is a three-hour session. The first two classes are free; there is a charge for the snowshoeing class. By 5 p.m. luminaries will be lit on a snowshoe and walking trail around the classroom pond. There are a limited number of snowshoes available for use on the trail. Luminaries will also be lit on a double cross country ski trail with space to snowshoe or walk, beginning at the Pine Island Golf Course Clubhouse and continuing onto the Douglas Trail. For detailed directions to the golf course or more information check the Minnesota DNR website for candlelight events. From 5-8 p.m. a chili meal with cheese, crackers, beverage, and dessert will be available at the golf course clubhouse located at 920 8th St. SE. Come for a class, learn a new skill, take a walk, snowshoe, or cross country ski. You can also just come to eat and enjoy the time around the bonfire. The Pine Island skating rink will also be open and lit with luminaries. For more information or to register for a class, email meschimek@pine island.k12.mn.us by February 6.

ROCHESTER The KenyonWanamingo Red team took first place in the AA Tier at the Junior High Knowledge Bowl Regional competitions on January 13 and 14 at the Clarion Inn in Rochester. Members of the team are Shawnna Bolinger, Kurt Breimhurst, Sam Breimhurst, Alec Nesseth, Amber Olson, and Celia Woock. Coach Darin Walling said, They scored a total for the day of 109 points. They beat out the second place team from Red Wing by 9 points. Forty-nine teams from eighteen area districts participated in 201314 Junior High Knowledge Bowl. Round robin competitions were held in October, November, and December. Each team then competed in the sub-regional competitions in January and the top twelve teams from each tier advanced to regional. The competitions consist of one written round (60 questions) and four oral rounds (45 questions/round). The sub-regional competitions were held January 8-9 at Rochester Community and Technical College. Tier AA teams were from Chatfield, Dover-Eyota, KassonMantorville, Kenyon-Wanamingo, Pine Island, Plainview-ElginMillville, and Red Wing. The Tier A teams were from Caledonia, Fillmore Central, Goodhue, Grand Meadow, Houston, Kingsland, Lanesboro, Mabel-Canton, Rushford-Peterson, Southland, and Spring Grove. KW was the only News-Record area school team to place at the regional. The Minnesota Service Cooperative Knowledge Bowl competitions are interdisciplinary academic contests for students in grades 6-9. Teams of students compete in written and oral rounds by answering questions related to all areas of learning, typical of secondary educational programs. Questions test students recall, problem solving, and critical thinking skills. This competition provides a format for student growth centered around academics. Teams consist of six students (six competing in the written round and five competing in each oral round).

of the store was maintained throughout the project. Brengman is a native of Rochester and began his career as a pharmacist there first at Saint Marys Hospital, followed by serving as head of the Pharmacy Department at Olmsted Community Hospital. Hearing of an opportunity in Zumbrota and good things about working in small towns, including closer contact with customers, from other pharmacists he had met at the University of Minnesota, the Brengmans purchased the store from Phillip and Margie Hagen. Prior to the Hagens, Merlin Lee was the longtime owner of the pharmacy, beginning in 1946. Brengman said the pharmacy was initially located further north on Main Street. Pharmacist Steve Gillespie also works with Brengman at the pharmacy. Brengman has seen several changes as a pharmacist in a small town since 1990. There were fewer prescriptions and less insurance 20 years ago. He said, Almost all now have insurance involved. Working with insurance has become an inevitable thing, but you learn how to work with it. I really enjoy working with people and helping them anyway I can by talking face-to-face to help resolve their medication issues. The pharmacy is a provider for most insurance companies and is also a Medicare provider for diabetes and ostomy supplies. A full line of Health Mart over-thecounter healthcare products and medications is also offered to customers. The gift and card portion of the store continues to offer a wide selection of items for holidays and special events such as birthdays, anniversaries and weddings. Home dcor items and Zumbrota-themed items are also offered. Photo processing services are offered. The store is a drop-off/pick-up site for laundry and dry-cleaning services. Main Street Pharmacy has 15 fulltime and part-time employees. The hours of the store are: 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Mon.-Fri.; Thurs. 8:30 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sat. 8 a.m.-4 p.m. The pharmacy number is 7325311, toll free, 1-866-732-4163; gifts and cards number is 732-7200.

The Kenyon-Wanamingo Red team placed first at the Junior High Knowledge Bowl Regionals in Tier AA on Tuesday, January 14 in Rochester. From left to right are Sam Breimhurst, Celia Woock, Shawnna Bolinger, Amber Olson, Alec Nesseth, Kurt Breimhurst, and Coach Darin Walling.

No good deed...
From Devils Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher

No good deed goes unpunished. Sometimes an organization or group of people practice doing good deeds. People do these actions because it makes them feel good. Where is the punishment? Once you start doing good deeds, you build an organization to support the good actions. The organization starts growing (the punishment). Keeping the organization going and growing is no longer about doing a good deed to save an animal, just keeping the support system going. Paws and Claws Humane Society (PCHS) is such an organization. It has a long history of saving cats and dogs and finding new homes for the animals. We love to hear and read stories of the interactions and bonding between our pets and ourselves.

PCHS is known for saving cats and dogs that have fled a bad situation and are lost. Most of the bad situations are of the type where the bonding between animal and human has gone bad resulting in bad actions by the humans. Sometimes a puppy or kitten finds itself in a bad situation because its mother (animal) has a problem and the young animal is close to dying. What should a good person do then? PCHS is the answer. PCHSRochester is the Facebook page for our local Paws and Claws. Want to read some great stories? The page is full of them. The stories are about cats and dogs who have been adopted and their new home. Some of the stories are about older animals whose owners have died and no one wants the pets. An old person has one or more pets that are their companions as they all grow older. One day (or night) the person dies. What happens to the pets? PCHS takes them in and finds new homes for the pets. The best example of good/bad

relationships is the James Bond movies where the ultimate bad guy has a white cat sitting on his lap during meetings with other bad guys (and girls). As long as he is petting the cat, everyone is cool. Suddenly he stops petting and then a bad guy who failed at some task dies when the leader pushes the button. Then he returns to petting the cat. The cat seems to enjoy the break and watching the human die. This infers that the cat is evil as well. We often think of the highway patrol or state police as those guys who catch us speeding. We forget or dont know about the good deeds these officers do as part of their normal daily lives simply because they are there. Maybe we should change the name of highway patrol to Road Angels to re-enforce the good that they do. Our Road Angels do their good deeds quietly and usually anonymously. The Facebook page has a wonderful story about a Road Angel. Until next week.

Health insurance is not fair or equal for all

To the Editor: Steve Drazkowski complains about a lack of competition among health insurers. The Minnesota Department of Commerce website shows six health insurers, 2011, MNSure exchange shows five insurers participating. According to healthinsurance.org Iowa has five, Wisconsin eight, South Dakota four, and most states eight or fewer insurers. Why dont health insurers like Aetna come to Minnesota? It may not be profitable or current competition is solidified. Maybe Aetna wishes not to compete. Drazkowski claims mandates cause higher insurance, shackling insurers from doing business. His example: Minnesota law requires men to purchase pregnancy coverage. How many men are affected? Is it fair that women have higher insurance paying for prostate cancer? Should men pay for breast cancer? This nonsense could go on and on. Health insurance is neither fair nor equal for all. Free markets are unable to cover everyone, leading to government

Kenyon-Wanamingo tops Goodhue in Blue Division showdown

By Faye Haugen KENYON Kenyon-Wanamingos 73-54 win over Goodhue on Friday did not win them the HVL Blue Division girls basketball title, but it did open up some room between the top two teams. KWs win ran their HVL record to 11-0 while Goodhues dropped to 8-3. Brittney Flom gave KW a 3-0 lead the first trip down the floor when she hit a three. Goodhues Mikayla Miller matched that three at the other end, and Goodhue built up a 16-9 lead with 10:28 to play in the half with Miller scoring 10 of those points. But the Knights took control when Audra Clark got hot from behind the arc. The senior guard hit four threes in a span of three minutes to give KW a 21-18 lead. The Knights never trailed after that, taking a 32-22 lead to the locker room. The Knights kept tossing up threes and hitting them. After making six in the first half, KW added five more plus two threepoint plays (three free throws, and a basket and free throw) in the second half. KW opened up a 20-point lead midway through the second half. Miller scored 20 points in the second half to keep the game somewhat close before the 73-54 final. No other Goodhue player scored in double figures. KW got a career-best from Audra Clark who netted 29 points. Siri Sviggum netted 16 and Megan Quam 13 for balanced scoring. Since Fridays game was a girlboy doubleheader due to the HVL dance meet in Goodhue, KenyonWanamingo will host the second meeting between these two teams on Tuesday, February 11.

St. Charles We took control of the game early and were able to maintain a comfortable lead, said Coach Scott Paukert. It was a much needed win. The Cougars jumped out to a 31-14 lead by the end of the first half. The Saints offense rallied

Miller sets Goodhue scoring record at ZM

By Faye Haugen ZUMBROTA It takes five players on a basketball team to win a game, but an exception could have been made in Tuesdays HVL girls hoops contest between Goodhue and Zumbrota-Mazeppa. Goodhue senior, Mikayla Miller, netted 46 points, a new Goodhue single game girls scoring record, breaking the record of 42 set by her mother, Joy (Matthees) Miller in 1989. Her 46 points were more than the entire ZM team tallied in the 78-44 loss in Zumbrota. Miller couldnt be stopped. Many of her points came from conversions on steals and turnovers (ZM had 26) or from good outlet passes from her teammates after a rebound. The Cougars tried to shut Miller down with a double team, man-to-man and a box and one, but nothing worked as she pumped in 26 points in the opening half of the game. The Wildcats led 48-29 at the break, and they also dominated the second half, outscoring ZM 30-15. Kali Ryan also hit double figures for Goodhue with 13 points. Tayler Mort was the only ZM player in double-digits with 12 points. The Wildcats will host Blooming Prairie on Thursday, and Triton on Friday and play at Cannon Falls on Monday

PI posts a win and a loss in HVL play
By Faye Haugen PINE ISLAND With a win and a loss in HVL Blue Division play, the Pine Island boys basketball team saw their HVL record move to 3-8 and overall record go to 6-10. PI will host Hayfield on Friday and Kenyon-Wanamingo on Monday. Lake City A slow start on a cold night resulted in a 59-42 loss to Lake City in Pine Island, Tuesday. Lake City jumped out to a 2717 lead by the half and they continued to build on their advantage, outscoring the Panthers 32-25 over the last 18 minutes.

Goodhue slides past Kenyon-Wanamingo

By Faye Haugen KENYON After watching the second-ranked Class AA KenyonWanamingo girls basketball team earn a big win over fourth-ranked Class A Goodhue, the Knight boys may have had dreams of their own in the second game of the girl-boy doubleheader in Kenyon, Friday. It was not to be, as Goodhue notched a 53-36 victory to keep the Knights winless. Goodhue used a very deliberate game that focused on good passing and finding the open shot to open up a 20-12 lead by the break. The offense for both teams picked up in the second half with the Wildcats holding a 33-24 advantage for the 17-point victory. Goodhue had nine players in the scoring column led by Tyler Schumachers 18 points. Riley Bollum added 12 and Riley Augustine 10. Marcus Irrthum was the only player to reach double figures for Kenyon-Wanamingo Surrounded by Goodhues Tyler Schumacher and Jacob McNamara, Kenyon-Wanamingos Marcus Irrthum looks for room to move in Fridays with 11 points.

Goodhue rallies for a win over ZM

By Faye Haugen GOODHUE Both teams played a very patient offensive game in the opening half at Goodhue on Tuesday. ZumbrotaMazeppa worked hard to hold a 17-15 lead over Goodhue at the half. But that all changed in the second half when Goodhue went more uptempo with their offense, and the result was a 64-34 Wildcat win. Goodhue outscored ZM 4917 over the last 18 minutes of play. Goodhue shot very well, hitting 25 of 46 shots from the field for 54%. The Cats were also 7 of 9 at the line for 77%. In contrast, ZM hit just 13 of 33 for 39% and were 7 of 13 at the line. The Wildcats had 10 players in the scoring column led by Jacob Pasch with 11 points. Riley Bollum and Tyler Schumacher each netted 10. Jacob Ugland paced ZM with 15 points. Senior Ellis Hirman is on crutches and is not expected back into the lineup for some time. He was leading ZM in scoring with an average of nearly 15 points a game.

GOODHUE COED VOLLEYBALL Winter is officially here

By Ed Stern Volleyball Commissioner GOODHUE You can tell that winter is here in Goodhue, as volleyball has begun. Both the men and women started playing volleyball last Wednesday night on their quest for gold, or their quest for Man of the Year and Woman of the Year. Melody Bass picked up the first Woman of the Week honors. She led her team (Out of Towners) to a sweep by serving at a 100% pace. Im sure I am the first to ever serve 100% for the entire evening. There is so much pressure on every player, and usually everyone caves at least once during the match. But I am not everyone! Nice job, Mel! Keep up the good work, and the Corvette is yours!

Adam Johnson was a unanimous choice for Man of the Week. I am the type of player who looks the situation over, and then I do whatever is necessary to win, responded Adam in his post, game interview on ESPN. I am not getting paid millions to rant and rave about how good I am. This is not the NFL. This is the real world. Adam had 22 ace blocks and 13 kills in leading Johnson Trucking to a first night win. Great effort, Adam.

PI gymnasts easily beat LaCrescent
By Faye Haugen PINE ISLAND The Pine Island gymnastics team wrapped up their home schedule with a 131.625 -123.55 win over LaCrescent at KAATs Training Center in Pine Island, Friday. In her last home meet, senior Siera McNallan went out in style winning all five events with a season high all around score of 37.075. Siera had a great meet. She recorded season best scores on vault, beam and floor and a personal best in the all around, said Coach Chris Templeton. Vault was a season best, but beam is still holding us back. We only had to count two falls, but we are falling on skills that we shouldnt be. We are also losing points to connections not being made. The missed practice time due to the weather really shows on this event. You need time on the beam to work the kills and, between the missed days and meets, we havent had that time. Brook Schaefer placed second on the bars, floor and all around and was third on the beam. Brittney Arndt placed third in the vault. Schaefer had a personal best in the vault, as did Allie Anderson. Schaefer and Arndt both scored personal bests on the floor. Katie Schultz competed floor for the first time in a month due to injury and, although she was a little rusty, she still scored over an eight, pointed out Coach Templeton. The Panthers will take part in the Breck Invitational on Saturday in Minneapolis beginning at 11 a.m.

Zumbro Valley Gobblers hold Hunting Heritage Banquet

By R.D. Aaland ZUMBROTA The Zumbro Valley Gobblers (ZVG) Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) held its 17th annual Hunting Heritage Banquet on Saturday, January 25, 2014, at Stary-Yerka VFW Post 5727. A meal of au gratin potatoes, coleslaw, chicken and ham was catered by Bonnie Greseth and the VFW. After the meal the nearly eighty people in attendance were treated to two speakers, Chad Gilner and Sam Michels. Chad Gilner works for the Lake City office of the DNR. He thanked the ZVG for its active role in conservation. Last year they were awarded a grant from the DNR and the proceeds were used to plant oak trees in areas where European Buckthorn had been removed. This year they have ordered 650 Swamp White Oak to be planted where there is now Reed Canary Grass. Both European Buckthorn and Reed Canary Grass are considered invasivespecies and need to be removed. They block the sunlight that is necessary for the oaks to grow and establish roots. Sam Michels is the coach for the Zumbrota-Mazeppa clay trap team. The team gets no funds from the school district and must rely entirely on donations from sponsors. The ZVG sponsor this team that practices at the Zumbro Valley Rifle Club starting at the end of March and will conclude with the Clay Target League State Tournament in Alexandria June 6-9. Then on June 14 is the Minnesota State High School League State Tournament in Twin Cities. Last year the ZM team had three girls in the top twenty shooters in the state.

Duane Freise, left, of Zumbrota, was the winner of the glock. He is with Dan Carlstrom.

Matthew Nelson, left, is the proud owner of a 232 rifle. His father Mark and brother Michael claim part ownership. The Nelsons are from Minnetonka.

plete and the wild turkey has come back from near extinction in the state and the population is even doing well, the NWTF has a new initiative called Save the Habitat, Save the Hunt. When the NWTF was founded in 1973, there were approximately 1.5 million wild turkeys in North America. After 40 years of dedicated work, that number hit a historic high of almost 7 million.

Van Horn Library announces One Town, One Title schedule

PINE ISLAND Van Horn Public Library and Pine Area People for the Arts (PAPA) invite all area residents to participate in the second annual One Town, One Title program (1T1T) from February 4 through 27. This year the library solicited opinions via an online poll to narrow down the subject matter and to ensure community participation in the program. The most popular theme this year was Minnesota history. After much reading and subsequent deliberation, the 1T1T committee chose Pattys Journey: From Orphanage to Adoption and Reunion by Donna Scott Norling as the book selection for 2014. In Pattys Journey Norling recounts her troubling experiences in the Minnesota State Public School for Dependent and Neglected Children established in Owatonna in 1886. Norling spent time there just before World War II after being taken away from her parents and then separated from her siblings. It recounts her experiences in foster care and her subsequent struggle to recover her past and her family. 1T1T events include a film showing on Tuesday, February 4, at 7 p.m. at the Pine Island History Center, 314 N Main St of The Children Remember Life at the Minnesota State Public School for Dependent and Neglected Children. The filmgives firsthand accounts of life at the school during the early 20th century through interviews and photographs. For some children it was a salvation but, unfortunately, for others it was a nightmare. Join us and find out why. On Wednesday, February 12, the regular monthly Van Horn Book Club will be held at 6 p.m. at Better Brew Coffeehouse, 301 N. Main St. As always, everyone is welcome to join the group for an informal more convenient. Those going independently of the bus must still sign up for the tour. And the finale on Thursday, February 27, will be a panel discussion entitled Adoption Now with special guests Beth Buckmeier of Olmsted County Foster Care, Lee Sjolander who is the current Chief of Police in Kenyon and former Pine Island School Liaison Officer, and Lisa Levi, a Pine Island resident who has fostered and adopted several children. The event will take place at 7 p.m. at the United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, 201 1st Avenue NW, Pine Island. Copies of Pattys Journey will be available February 4 at the film showing. Starting February 5 they can be obtained at Van Horn Library, Better Brew Coffeehouse, Pine Island Bank, and Arels Flowers and Gifts. There is no charge for the any of the events or for the books themselves, and information about the events as well as a list of suggested discussion points will be included with each copy.
The top three finishers in the Goodhue Spelling Bee are Colin Warren (third place), Haley Evans (first place), and Teman Bradley (second place). Evans will represent Goodhue in Rochester on February 11.

Evans wins Goodhue Spelling Bee

By R.D. Aaland GOODHUE Goodhue Public School District # 253 held its annual Spelling Bee on January 23. Fifteen students from the fifth through eighth grades competed for a chance to represent Goodhue in the Regional Spelling Bee at the Southeast Service Cooperative Conference Center in Rochester, which will be on February 11 at 1 p.m. Winner of the contest was eighth-grader Haley Evans. Elementary Principal Mark Opsahl welcomed the audience to the school and explained the preliminary testing that had narrowed the competition down to fifteen students. The rules of the Spelling Bee were explained by Mr. Jeff Sonju, a member of the Goodhue faculty. And Shannon Dicke was introduced as the pronouncer. The duty of the pronouncer is to state the word, use the word in a sentence, and then re-state the word. The judges of the competition were Sonju, Robert Bitzan, Nancy McCleary, and Lindsey Mace. Sonju had the duty of stating correct or incorrect after each word spelled by a contestant. The first contestant was seventh grades Colin Warren who correctly spelled crane. All fifteen contestants spelled their words correctly for the first three rounds. In the fourth round the first two misspelled words took place. Frump and empower ended the competition for two contestants. The fifth round found a young man stumble on cowlick. The eleventh round found a young man who could not spell expunge. The two finalists were Haley Evans and seventh-grader Teman Bradley. At this point the rules and format changed. Now if a person was to misspell a word, the other contestant was given the same word to spell. For instance, the first word given to Evans was bulwark which she misspelled. All Bradley had to do to win was spell the same word correctly...but he also misspelled it, so the competition continued. Words such as shiatsu, lamina, pontiff, and nigh were all given, and then betrothal. Bradley missed, but Evans did not. Evans won three books from the book fair and a pizza from the Country Station.

St. Johns staff members Judy Vieths, Macie Matthees, Marilyn Jonas, and Theodore and Amanda Glodowski sing This is you, Pastor at Reverend Andrew Krauses farewell open house on January 19. Krause and his wife Gayle have moved to Fargo, North Dakota.

RURAL
EMMANUEL LUTHERAN, Aspelund,

Andrew and Gayle Krause begin new life in Fargo

By R.D. Aaland GOODHUE On Sunday afternoon, January 19, several hundred people chose to visit with Reverend Andrew Krause rather than watch football. Krause has enjoyed his time in Goodhue where he has been since 2001 at Grace and St. Johns of rural Goodhue. In the last twelve years the membership in both churches has increased. The members of the faculty of St. Johns School wrote and performed a song especially for him, This is you, Pastor. The singers included pre-school teachers Marilyn Jonas and Macie Matthees, and first through fourth grade teachers Judy Vieths, Amanda Glodowski, and Theodore Glodowski. Family scheduling conflicts made it impossible for the schools principal, David Schulz, to attend. The school has grown from 18 students in 2001 when Krause first came to Goodhue to the 69 students currently registered. On July 14, 1987, Krause was ordained into the ministry of God. He graduated that day from the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod Church in Mequon, Wisconsin. Krause was a newlywed at this time, having married Gayle a month earlier. He accepted his first call to a dual parish serving

Paul and Linda Betcher, left, wish Gayle and Andrew Krause the best.

St Pauls Lutheran in Crandon and Christ Evangelical in Hiles, both in Wisconsin. The couple spent four years there before moving to Rockford, where he served the Cross Evangelical Lutheran Church for ten years. Krause grew up in the city of Mequon, Wisconsin, which is just north of Milwaukee on the shores of Lake Michigan. This is where he first learned to love fishing. It is something that he still enjoys. The Krauses have three sons, Nathaniel, Justin and Corey, and one daughter, Nicole. Gayle has been working as a paraprofessional

for the Goodhue Public Schools. Reverend Krause enjoys reading and watching the Green Bay Packers. He likes to work with and be with people, saying, I am a big kid with a big heart. On Monday January 20, 2014, the moving van arrived and took the Krause family to their new life as minister for the Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in West Fargo, North Dakota. Fargo is where their daughter Nicole lives with her husband Nathaniel. Andrew and Gayle are expecting their first grandchild soon, and now they will be nearby to help as needed.

Gilbert Wohlfromm of Germany is enjoying his time in a small town

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA Coming from his hometown of Wrzburg, Germany, a city of approximately 120,000 people, to the small town of Zumbrota, 16-year-old Gilbert Wohlfromm is enjoying his time as an exchange student at Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School. I really like not being in a big busy town. It is more laid back here, said the high school junior, who will remain through the end of the 2013-14 school year. Wohlfromm is here through the Education First Foundation for Foreign Study (EF). His host family is Daren and Sharon Mitchell and their children Samantha, a college student, Amber, in ninth grade, and Brady, a sixth-grader. Wohlfromm is the sixth student the Mitchells have hosted since 2001 through EF. Wohlfromms own family includes his parents, Hans and Gisela, who operate an auction house specializing in art and antiques. He also has a 14-year-old brother named Bodo and an 18-year-old brother named German, who spent a year in Australia and is one reason Gilbert became interested in spending a year of high school in America. He also hopes to improve his English and learn more about American culture. Much of the city of Wrzburg was destroyed during World War II, but has since been rebuilt. Wohlfromm mentioned the Wrzburg Residenz as a wellknown 18th century palace that remains, in addition to many castles and cathedrals in the city and region. EF places the students in high schools as juniors in the United States schools and requires the students to take English and United States history classes as part of their curriculum. English is taught in schools in Germany beginning in the fifth grade. Wohlfromm has also had two years of Spanish, a subject he is also taking at ZMHS. Other subjects he has or is taking this year include advanced algebra, biology, world history, Ameri-

can literature, and global issues. He enjoys being able to select classes here, since he didnt have the option at the more structured schools of Germany. He participated in soccer last fall and is spending time in the schools weight room this winter. A difference he noted between schools in Germany and the U.S. is that as early as fourth grade in Germany, it is determined which track or level of high school students will attend based on how well they are doing academically. If students are doing well, they

ZMMS students perform in Honor Band Festival

ROCHESTER On Saturday, January 18, Zumbrota-Mazeppa Middle School students, left to right, Matthew Debner, Neftali Medina, and Anna Nietz participated in the Southeast Minnesota Band Directors Association (SEMBDA) seventh annual Honor Band Festival. Musicians from all over the southeastern region came together to practice throughout the day, and then they performed a concert at 4 p.m. at Century High School in Rochester. The guest conductor was Charles Weise, band director at South View Middle School in Edina. Weise selected pieces ranging from Fantasy on a Russian Air, to Suessical: The Musical.

will go into a higher level, geared toward attending a university. If not doing well at the elementary level, they will go into a lower level of high school. There is also a middle level. In the summer of 2013, Sharon and Amber Mitchell traveled to Germany for three weeks to visit previous exchange students. Besides visiting the students the family had hosted, they met their families and were shown areas of interest around their hometowns. Another highlight was traveling to Paris with one of the students. Sharon and Amber also visited the Wohlfromm family. Wohlfromm spent ten days in the United States with other exchange students prior to arriving in Zumbrota. Much of the time was at a camp, learning more about the language and culture. Time was also spent in Boston. Since arriving in Zumbrota, he has experienced several Minnesotan activities, including a Viking-Packer football game. He hopes to do more traveling before returning home at the end of the school year as the time is just flying by. He also observed, We get cold and snow in Germany, but not like this! referring to the current cold winter experience. When he returns to Germany, Wohlfromm will be a high school junior (skipping his sophomore year while here). He will go on to a university after completing high school, but he does not have a definite career plan, perhaps something related to marketing.

The council approved continuing the criminal prosecution contract and fees for services from the Goodhue County Attorney for 2014-16. The cost of the contract in 2013 was $956.25 monthly which totals $11,475 annually. In the contract the cost remains the same in 2014. There is a 1% increase for 2015 and 2016. The cost is $965.81 monthly and totals $11,589.75 annually for 2015. It is $975.47 monthly and totals $11,705.65 annually for 2016. The City of Pine Island is responsible for paying all of the expenses associated with the cost of a criminal prosecution. Councilor Randy Bates asked if the contract was a necessary expense. City Attorney Vose said his law firm, Kennedy & Graven, does not work on criminal prosecution. The prosecution could be more of an expense to the city than paying a payment similar to a deductible. The Goodhue County Attorney has prosecuted criminal cases from Pine Island. The number of cases can be tracked in law enforcement records.

about constructing an acceleration lane at North Main Street and the entrance to southbound US Highway 52. MnDOT has discussed installing a gate that would be opened for emergency access to the southbound lane of the highway when MnDOT closes the North Main highway access. City Clerk Jon Eickhoff reported that so far there has been no engineering for an acceleration lane onto the highway. If the city must fund construction of the lane it cannot be a part of the citys debt. Options would be to use TIF money or the Rochester sales tax return funds, and increase bonding for the CSAH 11 roundabout. The costs of constructing the lane were unofficially estimated at $200,000. Bates requested that the city ask MnDOT to agree on paper to leave the North Main access open until a north interchange is built. Currently there is no time table for construction of the north Pine Island interchange or the closing of the access. Council members said they were not comfortable spending money on an acceleration lane if it will only be used for a short period of time. The council directed Eickhoff to get more information about the cost of the lane, and to ask MnDOT for some commitment not to close the access until the north interchange is built. A decision will be made when more information is available.

The council accepted Roy Larsons resignation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and appointed Brad Rehling to serve on the commission. The council approved the third year of a fee holiday for construction of new single family residences on existing lots. The fees waived include $1500 for water/sewer connection and the $200 zoning fee for new construction. The 2014 lists of appointments/committees and licenses/fees were approved by the council. The council authorized the submission of the Pine Island City 2013 Pay Equity Report. This report compares the wages and responsibilities of female and male employees in response to the federal Fair Labor-Equal Pay Act of 1963, which is aimed at eliminating wage disparity between female and male employees. The city has an acceptable rating in the results of the report. Eickhoff said the report is submitted every three years by January 31. City Engineer Neil Britton reported that bidding for the East Frontage Road projects will likely be in March or April. It should take three months to complete the project. The council approved a new wage of $16.60 for Carol Krueger because of her change in duties. She will manage the city accounting. The hiring of Andrew Taylor for the deputy clerk position was approved by the council. He will start in the position on February 6. During public input two residents of Pine Court NE complained about the method of snowplowing in their cul-de-sac. They said snow was left in the street and they needed to remove it to have access to the road or for emergency access to

their homes. Steve Oelkers of Public Works reported that the final clarifier and digester roof cover at the wastewater treatment plant will need more repair work in the spring. The elevators at the Van Horn Library and Evergreen were serviced. Information about shingles for the library roof was provided to the library board for a decision. There were two bids to repair the bullet hole in the water tower; $1,000 and $3,200. The lower bid was selected.

Torri Simon is Pine Island Lions Student of the Month

By Don Buck PINE ISLAND The Pine Island Lions Club has chosen Torri Simon as its Student of the Month for January, representing the mathematics department. Teacher Shawn Hunskor states: I would describe Torri in the following ways quiet, thoughtful, intelligent, polite, cooperative, respectful, always prepared and mildy intense. I have very much enjoyed having her in my classes. She earned the highest score of five for the Advanced Placement Statistics exam. She is currently earning a strong A in calculus in which she will earn a college credit. Teacher Beth Kohner says: I have been trying to convince Torri to join math league for a few years, but she was in gymnastics and it was impossible to do both. I was thrilled this year when I found out she switched to math league. She has been a great addition to our team. She works hard at practice, reviewing or even learning topics with peers and adults. She is selfdisciplined, motivated, takes interest and pride in her work and is eager to learn. She always comes to class prepared and ready to learn more. Her paper was the one that I always corrected first to make sure my answer key was correct! It is so wonderful to have a student in class that really appreciates math and enjoys the subject as much as I do. Classes that Simon has completed include calculus, trigonometry, analytic geometry, AP statistics, advanced algebra, geometry, and intermediate algebra. Activities include math league, Panther Crew Leaders, Art Scream, Knowledge Bowl, and National Honor Society. She is on the A Honor Roll and has lettered in academics. She enjoys skiing, spending time with family and friends, and baking cakes, and she works part-time at Island Foods. Simon will be attending the University of Minnesota-Duluth and is the daughter of Brenda and Eric Simon.

Subdivision septic system issue stymies Oronoco City Council

By Karen Snyder ORONOCO Last month Oronoco City Attorney Fred Suhler sent a letter to the Riverwood Hills subdivisions developer, Dan Fitzpatrick. Suhler requested information about Riverwood Hills septic system, which Fitzpatrick claims as his personal property, though when his professed personal property leaked, he declined to fix the mess and let the city pay the repair bill. The letter included a demand that Fitzpatrick respond by January 15, but Fitzpatrick disregarded the appeal. The letter was returned unopened. Its a frustration, said Suhler at January 21s Oronoco City Council meeting. Im trying to figure out, how do you get into contact with someone who doesnt want to be contacted? The city, along with Riverwood Hills property owners, would like to get in touch with Fitzpatrick who went out of business and failed to fulfill some of his responsibilities as developer of the subdivision. Suhler did learn that Fitzpatrick Construction is no longer registered with the state. Suhler said his next step will be to ask an attorney, the one Fitzpatrick hired to represent him in a lawsuit with the city, to give the letter to Fitzpatrick.

that will be tested. She is always willing to work with teammates who need a bit of help. She has been such a great addition to our team. I also have really enjoyed having her in my math classes. Torri has such a gentle nature, is polite, respectful and relates well

The stalemate continues between the city and Olmsted County over problems unresolved after the county rebuilt more than five miles of streets, stretches of county roads in Oronoco. City Engineer Joe Palen told the council at its December meeting that the issues, unstable ditch slopes and shouldering, present dangers. The city seeks a written agreement from the county that the county will fix the hazards, but the county resists putting anything in writing. Mayor Kevin McDermott said he intends to talk to Olmsted County Commissioner Lou Ohly and might set up a meeting to show him where were at. The council tabled the resolution to transfer the streets jurisdiction and maintenance and construction responsibilities from Olmsted County to the City of Oronoco.

County to spend $15 million on roads in 2014

By Paul Martin RED WING 2014 will be a year of major roadbuilding in the county, the Goodhue County Board of Commissioners heard at its January 21 meeting. Director of Public Works Greg Isakson presented the figures to the board. Spending will be about $15 million. Of this, about $8.4 million will come from bonds sold by the county, about $3.2 million is from federal funds, and the rest is largely from state aid. The county was already committed to a rolling five-year program of large projects on its highways, and had bonded $13.4 million to pay for them. They were joined by the two major improvement projects on Highway 52, at County Roads 24 and 9. We need to have a five-year plan so we can apply for federal and state funds, Isakson explained. Since we have had to pay our share of the work on Highway 52, it is likely we will need to bond more to pay for it all. Finance Director Carolyn Holmsten said, The answer to the question of how we pay for the work lies in the structuring of the bonds: when do we sell them, and how long is the payback period. Heading the list are the start of the reconstruction of Hwy 6 between County Roads 9 and 1 at $5.5 million, and the new Hwy 24 bypassing Cannon Falls at $3.47 million. Other million-plus expenditures will be on Hwys 10, 11 and 12, and the county share of the Hwy 9 overpass on Hwy 52. The biggest projects in 2016 forward will be the rebuilding of Hwy 1 between Hwys 9 and 44, and the completion of Hwy 24 to Hwy 19 east of Cannon Falls Schools. Federal funds are in place for Hwy 24 in 2016, said Isakson, so we are committed to that.
Were committed to the work, now we have to pay for it

to bond money or pay taxes sounds good on camera, but solves nothing. We have to look at the life cycle of the project we are paying for. It is sound to pay for roads over 10 years, and buildings over 15. We have voted on and are committed to all of this work. Now we have to deal with the reality of paying for it. Commissioner Rich Samuelson agreed. Our road system is a great investment, he said, and it is wise to keep the levy level. People hate it when their taxes go up and down.
County has 440 bridges

Cannon Valley Trail and the City of Red Wing which it maintains under contract. This places Goodhue County third in the state, after only St. Louis and Fillmore Coun-

ties. Lastly, the board voted to support a Minnesota Association of Counties resolution that urges the legislature to invest in a balanced

transportation program as a major priority. Bryant urged townships to support the resolution also, since roads are their biggest concern.

Directors of Goodhue County Fair attend convention

BLOOMINGTON Directors from the Goodhue County Fair attended the Minnesota Federation of County Fairs Convention on January 17-19, 2014 at the Double Tree Hotel in Bloomington. Those who attended were Carl Bang, Steve Boyum, Jim Foss, Bart Hoven, Dave Jaeger, Lorin Pohlman, Carol Schumann, Chuck Schwartau, Dan Schwartau, Julie Swenson and Deb Timm. Planning and organizing the annual Goodhue County Fair is a year-round process. The state convention provided workshops and speakers on topics such as advertising, animal health issues, entertainment, insurance and weather spotters. A trade show featuring various entertainment such as musical groups, magicians, comedians and rodeos gave the directors an opportunity to find new entertainment for the Goodhue County Fair. The convention is organized by a board that consists of fair board members from different districts of Minnesota. The counties that make up District 1 include Dakota, Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca and Winona. During the District 1 caucus on January 18, Carol Schumann of Zumbrota was elected to the Director position. The Minnesota State Agricultural Society held their annual conference at the same time. Jim Foss of Kenyon completed his term as President of the State Fair Board. He was also inducted as an Honorary Lifetime Member of the Society. In addition, Jim and Liz Foss and Carol Schumann attended the International Association of Fairs and Expos Convention in Las Vegas this past December. While there, Carol received the Bob Williams Scholarship and the McKoy Scholarship to help defray costs for the Institute of Fair Management. The Goodhue County Fair will be August 5-10. Information on new entertainment and attractions will be announced as the schedule is finalized.

Commissioners are wary of further bonding, especially while still unsure of the cost of the work to be done on the Citizens Building in Red Wing, but they are aware the work needs to be done. Commissioner Ted Seifert said, I am unwilling to put future boards in debt to current needs. Commissioner Dan Rechtzigel pointed out that he has to drive on the failing roads in the west part of the county, and said, To say we dont want

The board also approved a priority list of bridges to be replaced between 2014 and 2018, if funding can be found. Head of the list, and almost certain to be built, are the Territorial Road bridge in Florence Township and the 330th Street bridge in Stanton Township. Rounding out the 2014 list are bridges on Hill Avenue (Florence), 342nd St. (Warsaw) and 425th St. (Wanamingo). We usually forget bridges as we drive over them, observed Commissioner Jim Bryant. However, the county has about 440 bridges, including those on the

Powerboat racing comes to Byllesby

By Paul Martin The roar of powerboats racing at up to 135 mph is planned for Lake Byllesby on May 17 and 18. Twin City Powerboat Association (TCPBA) will be promoting the event. They were represented at the Goodhue County Board of Commissioners meeting on January 21 by Scott Stricker of Hastings. We celebrated our 50th anniversary last year, said Stricker, but we have never held any races south of the Twin Cities area.

4-H judging team competes at National Western Round-up

By Mamie Luhmann Goodhue County 4-H Program Coordinator DENVER, CO The Goodhue County 4-H General Livestock Judging Team competed at the National Western Round-up 4-H/ FFA Judging Contest in Denver, Colorado, January 8-12. The team won the privilege to compete by placing second at the 4-H State Judging Contest held in August. The team placed seventh overall, sixth in Reasons, ninth in Sheep, ninth in Swine, and ninth in Beef. Maddie Schafer (Goodhue) was fifth in Sheep and Kendrah Schafer (Goodhue) placed ninth in Sheep. Schaefer was also the highest placing individual on the team, placing 18th overall. Also competing were Haley Hinrichs (Goodhue) and Kaesey Glaess (Cannon Falls). Other members who attended were Max Schafer (Goodhue), Derek Stehr (Zumbrota) , Ella Lee (Cannon Falls), and Maddie Patterson (Kenyon). The team is coached by LeeAnn Waugh (Goodhue), and Pat Glaess (Cannon Falls) also attended as a chaperone. More than 900 youth from more than 30 states along with Alberta, Canada attended the Western National Round-up. The conference, now in its 94th year, is held annually in early January, coinciding with the National Western Stock Show. This years theme of Shake Rattle and Roll was aimed at leaving participants with the confidence that they have the opportunity to create unique experiences and thrive in their self-defined future through FFA and 4-H. Both 4-H and FFA members between the ages of 14 and 19 have the opportunity to qualify for Round-up by winning their home states contest or being chosen as a state delegate. The General Livestock Judging Contest includes placing classes of beef, sheep, swine, and meat goats. Workshops are offered throughout the week which provide a learning experience for the youth, exposing them to topics ranging from communication and team building to leadership development. Youth participants develop a mastery of their respective subject matters, but more importantly, gain life-long skills. Such skills as public speaking, professionalism, and good sportsmanship, along with the memories and new friendships, will outlast the trophies and ribbons that were won. If you are interested in learning more about 4-H, please contact the Goodhue County Extension Office at 800-385-3101.

Support young readers through online KW book drive

By Alicia Hunt-Welch WANAMINGO Local teachers and educational supporters from Kenyon-Wanamingo Schools are working together to get a free book in the hands of every child in our area. The KW Education Association has started an online virtual book drive, seeking to raise $1,000 for books to give to kids. Heidi Haugen, a KW teacher and one of the program organizers, said the virtual book drive will run through the end of January and the web address is http://supp orters.firstbook.org/goto/ kwknights. Haugen said she was turned on to the First Books grant program during the Education Minnesota Conference while brainstorming with other teachers. The books are purchased through First Book at a fraction of their normal cost. As a Title One school, KW qualified for the First Book program last fall. Because of this, all students in need will receive a free book. Haugen and elementary principal Matt Ryan chose the students who will receive the books. A free book was then sent home with each student participating in the Friday free food backpack program (students qualified through the local food shelf guidelines and on the free and reduced lunch program at school). These students are likely to go without books at home, as families struggle to meet basic needs. Teacher Jan Strand said, Teachers understand the importance of reading to student achievement. To support this effort, a community fundraiser was hosted in November. Strand said the staff is grateful to the community for their support in helping students be successful. Having books of their own that they can read at home is a big part of that, she added. Haugen said about 50 students have received a free book through the food backpack program. Another 15 are provided during story hour at the Kenyon Public Library and another 15 are distributed to preschool age children during Early Childhood Family Education home visits. Each of these programs receives books monthly for distribution. With the help of the fundraiser, Haugen said, Our master plan also includes sending one book home with every student in the building sometime during the last week of the school year. Donations will also be accepted by the school to purchase books for students. In addition to First Book, other partners in the effort to raise funds for books include Education Minnesota and the American Federation of Teachers. These two organizations have collaborated with their affiliates and First Book to give away books to children nationwide. It is estimated that, so far, 600,000 books have been put into the hands of children.

Polka Dots members are, front row, from left to right: Phil Sorenson, Harry Erickson, Bob Erickson, Art Fitch, Max Fosburg, and Ray Sands; back row: Manton Steberg, Leo Johnson, and Bertha Rosch. Hoffman added that, Bertha Rosch was a bit of a legend in that she played piano with the Polka Dots for something like 50 years.
