Zumbrota visitors guide is online

www.ZumbrotaCoveredBridge.com
ZUMBROTA It became apparent in 2013 that the business community in Zumbrota needed greater assistance to promote itself. A group of Main Street businesses had organized a few downtown promotional events but no city-wide Chamber of Commerce or Commercial Club existed to publish a visitors guide website or related magazine. In early January of this year, Grimsrud Publishing, Inc. began collecting data, photos, and items of interest and has now completed a website. To find this visitors guide to Zumbrota go to www.Zumbrota CoveredBridge.com or to the News-Record website at www.zumbrota.com and click on the Zumbrota Visitors Guide on the right-side column. Pages within the website include a Community Calendar of local events that is updated every Wednesday; Arts/Entertainment; Parks/Recreation; Zumbrota Covered Bridge history; and Photos/ Art of people and miscellaneous items. The site is loaded with links and maps to assist visitors, and local residents as well. Walking trails within the city and the Goodhue Pioneer State Trail going northward are shown. Several photos of the Zumbrota Golf Club are included. It has been ranked the second best public golf course in southeastern Minnesota in a Star-Tribune poll. Summer fun is also found at Shades of Sherwood Campground & Waterpark. And one of the states best 4-H fairs is the Goodhue County Fair. The Covered Bridge Park has the city swimming pool, Kids Kingdom playground, softball fields, a skateboard park, volleyball, camping facilities and more. Other local magnets are Crossings at Carnegie and the State Theatre. The Rochester Area Visitor magazine features their events with considerable enthusiasm, as do several other media outlets. Farmers from far and wide have known about the livestock sales barn north of town for many years. Car dealers and unique shopping opportunities are numerous professional services, as well. There is a historic downtown and highway commercial. Zumbrota businesses are blessed to be located at the crossroads or hub of U.S. Highway 52 and state highways 58 and 60. Potential customer traffic practically hits businesses in the face, making signage a worthwhile investment. The challenge has always been keeping open hours that cater to the employed, many of whom work in Rochester. If you are an artist or musician and have a website, email it to grimsrud@hcinet.net and have it posted on the Arts/Entertainment page. The website design, content, and updates are done by long-time Zumbrota resident Dave Grimsrud. Advertising will be sold by Pete Grimsrud, the News-Records owner and publisher. Recommendations for changes, additions, and corrections should be directed to Dave at grimsrud@hcinet.net. A magazine-type publication will follow. It could be expanded to include neighboring locations. For example, Zumbrota doesnt have a bowling alley or a lumber yard. What one area city doesnt have is usually available in a neighoring community. Both competition and cooperation exist in the greater area. That area being the Highway 52 Golden Corridor from Hader to Oronoco.

Texas Hold-Em Tournament winners are, from left to right, Harry Nielsen, first; Jerry Murdock, second; and Tom Boothe, third. Proceeds from the tournament go toward funding the 2014 Pine Island Post Prom event.

Texas Hold-Em event raises $2,250 for PI Post Prom

By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND The Pine Island Post Prom Committee held its sixth annual Texas Hold-Em Tournament Fundraiser at Pine Island Pool and Pins on Sunday, January 26. Ninety-eight presale tickets were sold and seventy-six people participated in the event which raised over $2,250. In addition to that amount, the Oronoco Fire Department donated $500 to the committee. The tournament began with bounties, worth $15 each, that were placed on the previous years winners. Participants placing from first through third place received a trophy and a monetary prize of $100, $60, and $40. Random drawings for prizes, including two grand prizes, took place throughout the tournament. Winning the four-day/three-night stay for two at Gold Mine Resort in Orr was Shawn Fokken of Pine Island. The winner of a one-week fishing trip at Gathering Lake Outfitters in Jellicoe, Ontario, was Dallas Turner of Pine Island. As the tournament came closer to the end, eight players were left competing for first place. Each was slowly eliminated until it came down to the final three: Tom Boothe of Zumbrota, Jerry Murdock of Faribault, and Harry Nielsen of Rochester. The game ended with Nielson taking first, Murdock second, and Boothe third. Tying for overall best hand were Don Oliver and Stu McGowan, with a hand of four fives. This years tournament was the second most profitable, coming close to 2011s event which raised about $2,700. Event organizers were Steve Pleschourt and Shawn and Lori Shelstad, and assistance was provided by Pine Island Post Prom Committee members and junior high school students. The post prom event will take place at Pine Island School following Prom on Saturday, May 3. The Grand March will be at the school and the Prom dinner and dance will be at the Kasson Event Center. This years theme is Enchanted Forest. Pine Island Post Prom provides a fun, safe, chemical-free, all-night lock-in for Pine Island seniors, juniors, and their guests.

Last two schools approve construction of GCED building in Red Wing

By Alicia Hunt-Welch The last two school boards to vote on the Goodhue County Education Districts proposal to build a new consolidated school in Red Wing approved the move on January 27. The school boards of Kenyon-Wanamingo and Goodhue voted unanimously along with other GCED consortium member districts Zumbrota-Mazeppa, Cannon Falls, and Red Wing to support the construction of a new school near Red Wing High School. The GCED is a group of five member districts working together to provide a variety of special education programs and services to students within those districts. Some of the services include early childhood special education services, and education for students with physical and health disabilities, visual and hearing impairment, and emotional and behavioral disorders. The GCED has been renting space at various locations throughout the county to provide education to these students. Last year the GCED Board conducted a two-phase study to address future growth, lack of space, and deteriorating facilities. The study revealed that the options were either 1) to do nothing and pay for deferred maintenance projects in the various buildings; 2) build a consolidated site at the Wastedo school location near Highway 52 and County Road 9; or 3) build at a new site near Red Wing High School. In December the GCED Board recommend building a new consolidated site in Red Wing. All member districts then needed to vote on whether to support this move or not. GCED Director Cherie Johnson was thankful to all the school boards for their unanimous support of the project. In a memo to staff she said, Now that we have full approval from our boards, the next steps involve a formal Review and Comment with the [Minnesota Department of Education] and approval of an architectural firm. The MDE has 60 days to approve or disapprove our plans. In anticipation of the MDE approval, we are also beginning architectural work. We will be choosing an architectural firm following interviews on February 6. Johnson told the KW School Board on January 27 that she expected construction would begin in July and students would be at the new site in 2015.

Dress appropriately for freezing weather

Publishers Notebook
By Pete Grimsrud

I ran into a group of my sons friends at Caseys during the worst of the polar vortex. The three were dressed for a cool fall day, with one wearing breathable shorts. I asked him if his mother knew what he was wearing. He said no, but they were there just to pick up some pizza. I mentioned the story of a man who froze his man-part off because he dressed inappropriately in freezing weather. The young mans eyes got big and insisted that I must be kidding just to scare him. It was a true story, but I failed to mention that the man was a runner who tempted fate in falling

temperatures. Smart runners know that wind block briefs are a must, including layers, headgear, and mitts. Parents choosing their battles between making sure children are appropriately dressed or leaving for work before students leave for school is one reason why superintendents close school when it gets cold. And its why they probably shouldnt bother starting two hours late if thats considered a safe compromise. I live across from the school, so Ive become a choose-my-battles parent. On a cool school day I may relent to my child who insists that shorts are more comfortable than jeans. When we go somewhere in the car, I dont make them wear a jacket, hat, and gloves; but they must bring them. My oldest son, who was the most difficult during high school, returned from college for a Super Bowl party. Thankfully, he has

grown up and was wearing a jacket, hat, and gloves, since his car broke down on his way back to school. Dress is a symbol of fashion, status, and autonomy, but it also reveals common sense and appropriateness. Sadly, many of us dont consider the effects of cold when performing simple actions. Alyssa Lommel, a University of Minnesota Duluth student, has undergone multiple surgeries and amputations from severe frostbite. She was dressed for a night of fun and drinking but couldnt get in her house after being dropped off by friends. I dont know if there is any way to dress appropriately for twenty below temperatures if youre locked out of the house. But some critically important lessons we can learn from her suffering is to be in control of our faculties, and when dropping friends off, be certain that they safely get inside.

The outlaw presidency

Write Here Right Now
By Bob Schmidt

Every president leaves a legacy, something they will forever be remembered by, either good or bad. Watergate will forever define Nixons presidency. President Reagan will be remembered for the collapse of the Soviet Union. President Clinton will be remembered for Monica Lewinsky and the impeachment process. President GW Bush will be remembered for his invasion of Iraq under an unproven pretext stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. President Obama is obviously anxious to leave a positive legacy. The first black president? A fantastic campaigner? Obamacare? Those are positives for some of the folks, but there are also some negatives: the slowest economic recovery since the Great Depression? The highest proportion of poverty and food stamp recipients ever? I believe that, 20 or 50 years from now, those will not be things that President Obama will be remembered for. Five years from now, if a conservative Republican is elected to the presidency in 2016, Obamacare will be an unpleasant, but distant memory. The economy will be on the way to recovery, and the electorate will forget the dark economic days of Obama. Further, Obama will not receive any credit for the recovery. First black president and fantastic campaigner? Maybe, but there will be other and better black presidents in the future, and campaigning successfully is not nec-

essarily an achievement, especially if you lie repeatedly in order to gain reelection, as Obama did. In my opinion, President Obama will be remembered for his lack of respect for the rule of law in the executive branch. His cabinet appointees have run afoul of the law. Further, he has personally skirted his cabinet and the constitutional appointment process by appointing czars instead of cabinet officials, he has circumvented the recess appointment process, and he has abused the executive privilege process on a par with Nixon. Lets look at the evidence. Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, perjured herself in her Obamacare testimony before Congress. Eric Holder leads the most corrupt Department of Justice in memory. Twice he perjured himself by lying under oath with regard to the Fast and Furious investigation. He illegally received executive privilege from President Obama to avoid turning over documents in the case. His department illegally tapped phones and e-mails of a Fox News reporter. He stalled and stonewalled an investigation into the IRSs illegal persecution of conservative organizations. In none of these cases did Obama exert any corrective action. After his election in 2008, the president almost immediately circumvented the constitutional process by appointing czars who held more power and presidential access privilege than his own cabinet members, czars who subsequently flooded the country with thousands of regulations, effectively bypassing Congress. Later, he illegally declared the Senate to be in recess and made appointments to the NLRB in violation of the Constitution. These appointments will be overturned by the

Supreme Court by mid-summer, and all affected decisions of the NLRB will be reversed. Its well known that President Obama has personally changed the Obamacare statute by moving deadlines and eliminating enforcements on numerous occasions. Those actions, and others, were illegal, and will be challenged in a court of law. Lately, the president has flouted the Constitution by declaring that if Congress will not support him, he has a pen and a phone, and he will use them to enact even more regulations, up to (and possibly exceeding) the limit of the law. He reinforced this declaration in last weeks State of the Union Address, asserting, among others, that he will unilaterally go after additional gun control measures since Congress did not follow his lead in 2013. Normally, when the constitutional limits are exceeded, you can expect a backlash from the electorate, and this will happen within the next several years. I dont anticipate any impeachment attempts, even if Republicans gain control of the Senate in 2015. Obama insured himself against impeachment in 2008 by choosing the village idiot for vice president. I do, however, anticipate that a number of amendments to the Constitution will be considered by a convention of the states (see Mark Levins The Liberty Amendments) for examples. There will be a backlash against executive orders, limiting their breadth and scope in the future. There hopefully will be much stricter senate oversight of cabinet and other appointments, and there will be many books written about the outlaw years of the Obama presidency. That will dominate his legacy. God bless America!

Contrary to what some officials would like you to believe, the illegal driver program bill I recently drafted is not about any particular county commissioners, nor is it aimed at eliminating safe driving classes or alternative local programs for minor traffic violations. Some background: In 2009, local law enforcement, including the Wabasha County Sheriff, asked me for legislative help. After operating an unauthorized local traffic citation program, and being cited by the state auditor for doing so since 2003, the handful of counties and cities engaged in such programs sought legal authority to do so - and I was happy to assist them. Working cooperatively with Republicans and Democrats, I coauthored a new law, Sec. 169.999, which gives local governments the authority to legally implement administrative citation programs for many minor traffic violations. The 2009 law set fines for the new administrative traffic tickets at $60. It requires that $40 of the citation remain with the local government and $20 be sent to the

State of Minnesota. Under this law, the traffic incidents arent reported to the state, preventing them from going on a drivers record and from being discovered by auto insurers. Despite our bipartisan effort in 2009 to create this administrative citation law, some local governments decided to continue their own illegal programs instead of following the legal one that law enforcement and the Legislature created together. These programs are charging people excessively more than the law allows. For instance, before a judge shut down their illegal program, Wabasha County was charging people $125 and Goodhue County was charging $85. These local governments were then pocketing all of the money, creating a hole in state revenue which in 2013 the legislature and governor backfilled by raising taxes. If these agencies had followed the law, drivers would have paid a mere $60, and the offense still would have remained off of driving records. If we were playing Deal or No Deal, clearly the state law not the illegal program gave drivers a better deal. The bill I unveiled recently attempts to stop law enforcement from offering illegal traffic citation programs to drivers after being pulled over for an infraction.

As I write this, 17 renegade police and sheriffs departments continue to ignore state law and a judges ruling by offering illegal traffic programs. My bill targets these municipalities only. Wabasha and Goodhue Counties, as well as the cities within their borders, have already closed their programs. None of the penalties in my bill would apply to them, as they are currently doing nothing wrong. Further, Im not opposed to local traffic citation programs. In fact I encourage EVERY county to participate in them, because I believe they offer obvious benefits to the drivers and local governments. What I dont support is any local governments willfully breaking the law and violating the Minnesota Constitution in the process. The Legislature created a new program in 2009 to accommodate the counties and cities that wanted the option to offer traffic citation programs. The lawmakers watched as many of them continued with the more expensive, illegal ones they had been using. All residents should understand that a happy medium exists. It allows local governments to collect new revenue, prevents drivers from receiving a state ticket and keeps that citation off of their records. And best of all its perfectly legal.

Tell the whole truth, Steve Drazkowski

To the Editor: I am writing my first letter to the editor in my eleven years of the elected office of sheriff that I hold in Wabasha County. Over the past six months I have heard their catchphrases of racketeering, extortion, embezzlement, and greed. I was also surprised to see that some papers printed a letter to the editor that came from an out of state resident comparing our county and myself to the Dukes of Hazzard show. I write this not in defense of myself, but for the good women and men who work in the criminal justice environment in Wabasha County. I can take it, but they dont deserve it. When I started the Safe Driving Class in 2003, it actually was in response to the state raising the surcharge of a ticket to $75. Today that surcharge is $85 on any ticket and only cities and towns can have two-thirds of the base fine. At least they are getting something to pay for the tires and gas for their squad cars. The fact is that counties themselves get nothing from the citations that they write. Also in 2003, the class was initiated with the full support of the county board (Riester, Windhorst, McNallan, Norman, and Harms). The first year, we were cited by the state auditor in our annual audit. The auditor at that time said that if I had the local judge on board, he would be fine with it. I actually got that letter quickly with the support of our judge. The following year, our auditor was replaced and that support was no longer any good. We kept getting cited by the state auditor each year subsequently and we responded that we disagreed with their opinion each year. We also told the auditor that we were operating the class under the discretion of our county attorneys office. It should be noted that there are many, many diversion options within the criminal justice setting, all the way up to felony diversion programs. Nothing was ever mentioned by any county board member until about 2012. Then the battled ensued and they won? Now, Mr. Drazkowski, along with his crew, would like the public to think that we had been given an option in 2009 that would have worked great for us. Here is what he is not telling you. The bill 169.999 was a poorly written one that many of the sheriffs didnt support, including myself. It is a lie that I worked with him on this. We didnt like the bill because (and heres what he is not telling you) it only allowed violators with speeds of 10 mph or less to be given an administrative fine. The next thing that made it hard was that he took the officers/deputies discretion away and said that no law enforcement could reduce the actual speed to fit the administrative fine. What does this mean for the over 4,300 people who came to one of our classes? That almost 95% of them would not have qualified because we could not have used the discretion to lower their actual speed to fit within that statute. Most of our violators who are cited are outside of a 65 in a 55 mph zone. I will have to say that the one thing that kept me going month after month with the class and the continued controversy was the participants evaluations. I read each and every one after a class and I told myself that I need to keep doing this for them. The most important thing that I heard was that people saw a different side to law enforcement during the class and it really helped show a different image than what they had in their heads prior to the class. I wished that Mr. Drazkowski could have come to one of our classes to see the interactions that took place. We believe that the education component was critical in what we were trying to accomplish. The most important thing that I did want to relay in this continuing unfortunate saga is that anyone who went through this class will now have to be revealed to the citizens group against the sheriff. They have done a public data request to get your name, your phone number, and your email address. We are going to be obligated by law to give this data to them. We still dont know what their motive is for this but it is very bothersome for us to have to give something out that in all respects should stay private. In the months ahead, I am hopeful that legislators will be able to craft a bill that allows us to continue this very good program. I know that there are more than a few legislators in this area who want to work for you. Rodney Bartsh Wabasha County Sheriff

Income inequality
From Devils Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher

If you watched, heard, or read Mr. Obamas State of the Union address and what he wants to accomplish in 2014, then you heard the classical Democratic Party Dream. Just ask about the consequences if they could implement the dream. Lets look at the original statement of equality from the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Note what the Declaration does not say. It does not say that all men live equally all with the same job, the same life, the same fam-

ily. Only in the philosophy of the Democratic Party is there an expression of the various aspects of life and that they should be equal. I have already written how raising the minimum wage will widen the gap, not close it. The minimum wage, regardless of what it is, is part of the cost of doing business. How do businesses control their costs? Revenue minus costs equals profit. Many things happen when a business produces a profit. The business can grow and hopefully generate more profits. The basic formula of revenue minus costs leads to first level actions. You can sell more, or raise the price of what you are selling (product or service). This ultimately leads to inflation. For most businesses, labor has become a major cost. When you raise the minimum wage, you also have to raise all hourly wages. This means that everyone gets a raise and the gap either stays the same or grows. Costs can be lowered by firing some of the workers and not pay-

ing those wages. One can replace a full-time (40 hour work week) with multiple part-time jobs (saves on benefits). Buy cheaper raw materials, if available in another way to reduce costs. Some of these solutions lead to a recession and slow the economy down. It doesnt matter whether the labor is by merit pay or union pay scale. Raising the lowest wage ultimately raises all of the wages! Those jobs with pay scales and union-controlled raises experience the same pressure on all wages that merit pay scales have. The gap between the lowest and highest wages gets bigger. This works on all jobs. The only way to get an equal pay scale is in true communism. While one gets equal pay, it destroys the incentive to do better and to do more. Wage equality is a pipedream, a myth, that does not work and it has dire consequences. Our president is enjoying the sound bite of Wage Inequality but he doesnt understand the consequences of it. Until next week.

Goodhue took a 33-22 lead to the locker room at the half and then came back to hit two threes to start the second half and put PI down by 17. But the Panthers clawed their way back into the game, taking the lead with 1:53 to play when Ben Farrell hit a basket. Both teams had their chances to take control of the game in the remaining seconds, but shots would not drop for either team. Goodhues Alex Thomforde hit one of two free throws with 10 seconds to play to make it a 55-54 game. With just three teams fouls, Goodhue made four quick fouls, putting PI at the line with less than four seconds to play.

This month we recognize all those who participate in school volunteerism and feature a few of those individuals who have found ways to support their education system. To find out more about volunteer opportunities, contact your local school office or principal for suggestions and information on areas of need. to help the teachers, because they do so much for others, she said, That is a big part. Morrison enjoys being around children and being able to make a difference in their lives. She said, The kids really enjoy seeing their parents involved. Kids would love to see more of their parents or family members involved! She highly recommends volunteering in some way with schools and said there are many ways to get involved. One way is by working with the parent teacher organization, as the group does a lot to give back to the school. She said, The more volunteers involved, the more that can be done. There are so many ways to get involved [as a volunteer] in the PTSO, or in class, or baking, or helping with fundraisers. Just doing a small piece helps a lot. ZUMBROTA Twice a week Chrystine Haferman and her Jack Russell Terrier named Annie volunteer their time at ZumbrotaMazeppa Elementary School to read with students. Annie is involved with the Tail Waggin Tutors Program through Therapy Dogs International and is trained through Reading Education Assistance Dogs. Haferman said, We have the opportunity to provide a unique, relaxing atmosphere for children to practice their reading skills. The kids are so great! Annie is always loving and places no judgment. She loves to listen to kids read as they practice their verbal reading skills. Although this is Annies first year with the Tail Waggin Tutors program, Haferman has been a school volunteer since her children were in kindergarten and has served in a variety of ways. The

Area school volunteers are recognized in February

By Alicia Hunt-Welch Schools throughout the world rely on dedicated volunteers to carry out a variety of tasks to better meet the needs of students and assist busy staff. Volunteer opportunities abound in schools. These activities range from tutoring and mentoring children to meeting the diverse educational needs of students, to chaperoning large groups on field trips, to supporting staff by completing tasks, and assisting with fundraisers. Community volunteers are a key factor in successful schools, by filling needs that may otherwise be unmet due to limitations of staff or school finances. By contributing time at the school, students and staff see firsthand community support.

Chrystine Haferman
reading skills can open doors for a lifetime. Haferman lives in rural Zumbrota with her husband Tim and their sons, Cole (ninth grade) and Grant (sixth grade). She loves experiencing new travel adventures with her family, helping her kids show animals during the summer at the fair, and is always up for doing anything fun with Annie. As for volunteering, Haferman enjoys the rewards of service and urges others find ways to get involved. I definitely recommend other people volunteer with the school, she said, even if it is just a small amount of time. Whatever they feel comfortable doing or really believe in. By taking the time to volunteer in school we show children that education is an important priority. The positive influence you can offer can impact a child for life.

Wendy Morrison
PINE ISLAND Wendy Morrison has been volunteering at Pine Island Schools for the past four years. During that time she has assisted third-graders with numerous projects, put together hundreds of social studies travel booklets, helped with cutting and prep work before the project books are bound, assisted students in the classroom with reading, corrected papers for teachers, decorated their bulletin boards, helped with parties, planned and prepared Welcome Back lunches for teachers and Teacher Appreciation Week activities, and assisted with the Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO). Staff members at PI School indicate that Morrison is willing to do any job asked of her, and she does it efficiently and thoroughly. Morrison, her husband, and their

two also spend time reading with children at the Zumbrota Public Library. Haferman said, I enjoy it because I love to see the children get so excited about reading when Annie is part of the picture. Anything we can do to help kids develop a love of reading is worthwhile. I strongly believe that good

Dan Booher
WANAMINGO Dan Booher was recommended to volunteer with Kenyon-Wanamingo Elementary School after a neighbor found out I was bored. Asking how he could assist students, it was suggested that he serve as a crossing guard on busy Main Street in Wanamingo. Booher has braved the heat and the extreme cold weather experienced since the beginning of the school year to stand at the corner and assist students in crossing the highway safely. He began by assisting in the mornings, then added the afternoon. Booher said, It was nothing important but it was something I can handle. Booher has lived in Wanamingo since 1995. He is retired now, but was employed at a foundry, working with molten metal. For 14 years he volunteered with Meals on and loading took a toll on his body, Wheels until the constant lifting and now he enjoys helping students. He said, I like children. I like their little faces. This particular job does have its drawbacks. Its crummy when the weather is bad, he said. But other than that, its something I can do to help out. There is a lot of traffic on Main Street in the morning. Everybody going to work and in a hurry! I dont know how they did it without a crossing guard. Even with him standing at that busy street corner in a reflective vest, he said the drivers are still pretty fast, and he has even been nicked by a passing car. Yet, each school day he returns to that corner, because it is something to occupy his time, he likes to stay busy, and he enjoys the benefits of volunteering. I like people. I like to see the smiles on their faces [when you help them out]. When people appreciate you; that is what I like.

Darwin and Mardell Bartlett

GOODHUE Over the last decade elementary students at Goodhue Schools have become familiar with the faces of Darwin and Mardell Bartlett. For about eleven years, the Bartletts of rural Goodhue have devoted one day a week to help out at the school in one capacity or another. They primarily help students with math and reading skills. They also assist students in younger grades with projects they may be doing. Mardell said there are a number of things she enjoys about volunteering. One, it gets us out into the community, she said. Second, it it is a good opportunity to spend time with children in the community; whether they may be family of friends, neighbors, or her own children or grandchildren. After volunteering for a significant time, Mardell said, I think anyone who has extra time should be doing it. We also get a chance to see what is going on in the school, and for anyone who is paying taxes that is a plus. Darwin said, Its nice to be working with the kids and see that sometimes the light goes on and they all the sudden get it. Thats kind of a nice thing to be involved with. The Bartletts have lived in the Goodhue area since 1973. Before retiring, Darwin worked as an engineer for a computer company and Mardell worked as a physical therapist. Years ago Mardell had seen a message in the newsletter requesting school volunteers. Neither had a background in teaching, but Darwin said that is not necessary to volunteer at the school. The teachers provide all the information and direction needed to mentor the students. He said volunteers only need to remember they are working with kids, which sometimes requires patience. Darwin is also a member of the Goodhue Lions Club and volunteers with the county-wide Habitat for Humanity organization out of Red Wing. Mardell also volunteers with a local church. When asked if he would recommend volunteering, Darwin said definitely. He noted there are many benefits to helping others. No matter who you are, he said, And kids appreciate that. Its kind of a nice thing to do.

Lois Mae Ziegenhagen 1922-2014

OWATONNA Lois Mae Ziegenhagen, 91, died peacefully at the Homestead Hospice House in Owatonna on January 28, 2014, surrounded by family and in the loving care of dedicated staff. Lois was born at home on May 18, 1922, to Robert and Clara (Tretbar) Frohrip. She grew up on their farm in the Minnesota River Valley. She attended country school and graduated from Fairfax High School. On June 7, 1944, Lois married Allwin Ziegenhagen at the Zion Lutheran Church in Morgan. They made their home on a farm, just up the hill from her childhood home, overlooking the Minnesota River Valley. Times in the 1940s were not easy in the beginning; the house had electricity but no running water, which meant there was the traditional outhouse. Meals were made on a wood cookstove. In addition to caring for the children, she raised a large flock of chickens. Eggs were sold for money for groceries and some chickens were butchered for fried chicken. She had a huge garden and canned hundreds of jars of produce for the family. There were always plenty of jars of tomatoes for hot dish and a wide variety of pickles. The beet pickles and watermelon pickles were a great hit. Allwin did the farming and raised cattle, pigs and a large flock of sheep that grazed in the hillside pastures. They engaged in farming for 37 years. The couple later retired to Franklin where she and Allwin were very active with the Senior Citizens Center as well as their church in Redwood Falls. She played the organ and piano at various churches. Gospel music was a favorite of hers. They celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary before Allwins death. Lois moved to Lake City to be near her daughter Marie and later moved to Zumbrota. She had many good friends in Zumbrota. When Marie and Reg moved to Arizona in September 2013, Lois moved to CountrySide Assisted Living facility in Owatonna, where she resided until the time of her death. She was surrounded by many new friends and caring staff. She is survived by children, Dee and Chuck Sasse of Elysian, Carol and Bob Ellringer of San Angelo, Texas, Marie and Reg Busson of Prescott, Arizona, Paul and Pam Ziegenhagen of Rockford, Texas, Perry and Peg Ziegenhagen of Owatonna, and Phil and Marcy Ziegenhagen of Blaine; twelve grandchildren; fourteen greatgrandchildren; her sister Gloria Just and her husband Vern; and brother Lester Frohrip. She was preceded in death by her husband, Allwin Ziegenhagen; and sister-in-law, June Frohrip. Interment will be in Mount Hope Cemetery, near Morgan, with services to be held at a later date. Memorials are preferred to Mount Hope Cemetery Association or Homestead Hospice House.

SEEDS FROM THE SOWER

By Michael A. Guido - Metter, Georgia

A chauffeur was being honored for his record of having driven for more than 45 years and never having an accident. "What's your secret?" asked the Master of Ceremonies. Quickly he replied, "I stay away from dangerous places places where accidents are likely to happen." What great advice. All too often we find ourselves in places or situations where danger is awaiting us. Acting carelessly, we sometimes get into difficulties that present problems that we cannot solve or are forced to make decisions that exceed our experience. We can get great insight for living from God's Word. The Bible puts it this way: "Hold on to whatever is really good. Steer clear of evil in any form." The Bible will give us insight into dangers and the destructive nature of sin. It will help us see sin for what it is an enticing, inviting, ensnaring, and easy path to self-destruction with no warning signs or signals.

First ACTs scheduled at Pine Island Schools official test site
By Alice Duschanek-Myers PINE ISLAND In her report to the Pine Island School Board on January 27, Superintendent Tammy Berg-Beniak said that the first ACT test at the schools official area test site is scheduled in April 2014 She said that due to the cold weather and high fuel demand, the district was notified to switch to alternative fuel to heat the buildings.

She informed the board that the Minnesota Department of Education will use Pearson Inc. for Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment testing this year.

PI School Board seeks second opinion on costs of building and remodeling

By Alice Duschanek-Myers PINE ISLAND On January 27, Chairman John Champa said the Pine Island School Board will seek an opinion from a second architectural firm on the costs of building a PreK-4 building and updating the existing building for middle and high school. Its the financial responsibility of the board to the community to align the cost with the community, he said. The board set a timeline of tasks to complete to be ready for the referendum election. The architectural opinions will be completed for the school board to review by January 31. The review and comment request for the new building, facility improvements, and the building bond will be ready to submit to the Minnesota Department of Education on February 7 to receive an opinion back in February. By February 15, the staff advisory teams will complete their recommendations to the board for necessities to be included in the design of the new PreK-4 building and improvements for grades 5-12. The school board hopes to approve a bonding resolution for the construction of a building and improvements to the existing building by February 18. The board scheduled a retreat for March 2 from 6-10 p.m. in the district conference room to complete a full review of the facilities project and to prepare for more meetings with residents. The board is planning to be ready to hold more informational meetings with residents by March 15, and will meet with voters until the referendum election on Tuesday, May 13. Rob Warneke said that it is the school boards responsibility to carefully consider all of the resident input it has received and to get a second opinion on the costs for the public.

PAPA sponsors Emmy Award winning group for PI elementary students

By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND On Friday, January 24, Pine Island students in pre-kindergarten through first grade were treated to a high energy multi-media stage show presented by J-Star (co-creator/costar of The Zinghoppers, an Emmy Award winning TV series). The upbeat educational event was held in the schools maroon gymnasium and was sponsored by the Pine Area People for the Arts (PAPA). J-Star and DJ Kitty invited the students to travel along on a magical adventure to learn what it means to be a real superhero. The students danced and sang along as they learned important life lessons about being a good friend, eating healthy and exercising daily. In the end, the students joined the cast in a superhero pledge that helped promote pro-social behaviors and build self-esteem. The Zinghoppers are a multiplatform childrens brand that focuses on creating content for preschoolers and families. Presenters Jack Norton (J-Star) and his wife Kitty Norton (DJ Kitty, who programs all of the groups music and serves as the bands DJ) hosted the live performance. They were joined by video projections of their friends Conductor Jack (a friendly train conductor), Penelope Funky Possum, Olo the Donkey, and Coconuts the Kangaroo. The characters and songs were created in the classroom by the husband and wife team of Kitty and Jack Norton, while they were working as preschool teachers in rural Minnesota, and developed by a team of early childhood educators from the University of Minnesota and the Mayo Clinic. The band writes age-appropriate lyrics for preschool and early elementary age audiences. Their upbeat and interactive songs are influenced by hip-hop, electronic dance music, dubstep, dancehall reggae, house, and pop. In 2007, the Zinghoppers performed their first professional shows at the Mall of America, the Minnesota State Fair, the South Dakota State Fair, and released their first CD, Hop, Hop, Hop. The Zinghoppers moved to Nashville in 2009 and were instantly popular with families and many local celebrities. The group was named Nashvilles Best Kids Entertainers for an unprecedented four years in a row (2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012) by the readers of Parent Magazine. In 2011, the band toured on behalf of the U.S. Pentagon on a 19 country world tour - performing for US military families serving in Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. That same year, the Zinghoppers hosted the firstever web concert for families at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington D.C. They are the only childrens group ever invited to play the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee. The success of their Youtube music video Tooty Ta and their local popularity led to an interstitial series on Nashville Public Television. Totally, Zinghoppers! debuted in late 2011. The series is created, produced and funded independently by the Zinghoppers production team. Season one earned three Emmy Award nominations, with the team winning Best Childrens Program. The series was quickly picked up by additional PBS member stations nationwide. Currently, over 100 PBS member stations broadcast the series. AFN Family, KidzBop On Demand and Trinity Broadcasting Network each broadcast the series as well, bringing the band to nearly one million viewers in over 195 countries daily. The series picked up another two Emmy Award nominations in late 2012 for Best Childrens Program and Best Interstitial Series. The Norton couple recently moved back to Minnesota in the fall of 2013, and now they live in Minneapolis. They will be making a return visit to Nashville in the near future to record another season of The Zinghoppers show. The Zinghoppers have released CDs and DVDs and maintain an active international tour schedule. On average, the couple perform about 500 concert events annually. The Zinghoppers new television series debuts in late 2014, and the band will spend the year touring to support the release of their debut CD and DVD.

School board members are working with the principals and teachers to identify necessary features to include in the designs of a new PreK-4 building and for improvements in the remodeling for middle school (grades 5-8) and high school (grades 9-12). The elementary advisory team toured schools in Chatfield, Dover-Eyota, and Rochester (Gibbs). Angela Heiden said that they liked the layout of the Chatfield School. The team talked with the principals of the schools and is compiling information to recommend to the school board to include in the architectural design of a new building. The 5-8 and 9-12 advisory tours of Lourdes, Kasson-Manorville, and Triton Schools had to be cancelled due to the weather. These will be rescheduled. There is also an advisory team studying facilities for athletics and activities. Warneke reported that their focus is on track, soccer, football, auditorium space, and uses of other spaces in the buildings. They are developing ideas to share with the architects for feedback. One of their priorities is for the district to include a better area for the music department in the remodeling design.

ZM Schools will make up a snow day on Presidents Day
By Alice Duschanek-Myers MAZEPPA On January 28, the Zumbrota-Mazeppa School Board decided to make up a snow day on Presidents Day, February 17. So far, school has been cancelled on five days because of the extreme temperatures and weather conditions. There are eight more weeks when winter storms might occur. The board considered whether to make one day up on the scheduled day off on February 17, or to add a day at the end of the school year. All agreed it was better not to add a day, and to get another day of instruction in for the students before testing started. Presidents Day is a holiday in the contracts for the administrators, secretaries, and maintenance staff who are full-time, year-round employees. These staff will have the option to choose a floating holiday if they work.

Reading readiness assessments available at Zumbrota Public Library

ZUMBROTA For families with 4- to 6-year-old children, there is a new opportunity for assessing their pre-reading skills and predicting what assistance they might need as they begin to learn to read. The Zumbrota Public Library is partnering with The Reading Center of Rochester to offer free reading readiness assessments with a reading specialist. The Reading Center uses national normalized tools to make assessments. They received a grant from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) and donations from the greater community to cover the costs for the assessments and for extending the assessment program to communities outside of Rochester. This program is especially designed for families who have concerns about their childs ability to learn to read. Some warning signs that your child might struggle with reading are: late talking compared to other children; difficulty listening and following directions or routines; difficulty remembering numbers, the alphabet, or days of the week; easily distracted, restless, or having trouble interacting with peers; low interest in reading or writing; history of reading problems in extended family. Parents who have questions or want to sign up for an assessment can do so in person at the Zumbrota Public Library or by calling the library at 507-732-5211. There are currently appointment slots available on Thursday, February 13, and Thursday, March 13. Also at the library in February there will once again be opportunities to practice reading with a Reading Education Assistance Dog. Annie the dog and her partner Chrystine will be available for 20-minute reading slots on Saturday mornings, February 8, 15, and 22. Kids of all ages and reading abilities are encouraged to enjoy the companionship of this friendly canine as they read out loud or show Annie the pictures. Call or stop by the library to reserve your time with Annie.

Cherie Johnson, the director of Goodhue County Education District, addressed the board on the subject of a new building. She said that year after year they are continually running out of space and that the current facilities are falling behind on deferred maintenance. The current facilities were not designed for special education instruction. A preliminary study was done in June 2013. The second study is now being presented to each member district. It will be less expensive to build a new building in Red Wing than it will be to keep up on necessary maintenance and repairs when adjusted over the next twenty five years. The board unanimously approved the building of a new facility.

Superintendent Mike Redmond applied for Q Comp, the State of Minnesotas attempt to improve teachers through evaluations and rewards. The school board will have to approve the Q Comp Program at a later date, but Redmond applied now to avoid penalties and program closures. He also included the professional improvement budget for Goodhue Public Schools. The expenditures for teacher improvements will be $162,500. This is also the amount of revenue that can be received from the state for the program. Another part of Q Comp is called 5D+ Teacher Evaluation Rubric. The 5D+ Teacher Evaluation Rubric is based on the five dimensions of teaching and learning (5D) instructional framework, which is derived from an extensive study of research on the core elements that constitute quality instruction. They are purpose, student engagement, curriculum and pedagogy, assessment for student learning, and classroom environment and culture.

implemented. Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) is showing results. By the end of this school year, every student should have received at least one positive report post card. High School Principal Mike Harvey reported that Wednesdays early release work has been rotated between Academic, Behavior, and Curriculum. He stated that a large amount of time was spent at the beginning of the year on behavior preparing for PBIS lessons. Since then they have reviewed the PBIS data only twice, but it is reviewed quarterly. The remaining time is spent working on individual course curriculum, department curriculum, and academic best practices. All of this is tracked using Edmodo, an online classroom management tool. Edmodo serves as the communication tool for PLC work. They will be working on grading practices, assessments and rubrics.
Staff changes

The resignations of Mary Augustin as the community library supervisor and Gayle Krause as the special education paraprofessional were approved. They will be replaced by Cindy Baker and Jennifer Vogel, respectively. A letter of retirement from longtime art teacher Cathy Nolt was accepted. Childcare leaves were approved for Deb Lodermeier starting on March 17 and ending on May 12.

Wanamingo
By Alicia Hunt-Welch WANAMINGO Several snow days, late starts, and early releases have made for inconsistent and difficult educational instruction days at Kenyon-Wanamingo Schools. At the January 27 school board meeting, Principals Matt Ryan and Brent Ashland gave credit to the staff for making the most of the time they are able to have students. Many high school first semester finals had to be rescheduled creating stress and hassle for everyone. Superintendent Jeff Evert said administrators and staff will be discussing how and when snow days will be made up. The instructional time they have with students prior to spring testing is vital. Ideally, it would be in the students and districts best interest to make up needed days prior to that time. Days made up in June are less effective for instructional time when students are in the end-of-school-year mindset. Ashland said the snow day cancellations have created havoc on the sports and activities schedule, creating extra work and headache for KW Athletic Director Randy Hockinson.

A $200,000 State of Minnesota grant through Minnesota Southeast Technical is bringing help to enhance ProActs training for staff members and people with disabilities, as well as improving the nonprofits production capabilities. ProAct serves people with disabilities in Red Wing and Zumbrota. ProAct President Steven Ditschler spoke of several primary elements that are addressed by the new funding: greater productivity and self-sufficiency, better value to business customers, increased wages and an even higher level of professionalism. The funds flow from the Minnesota Job Skills Partnership Program and will impact about 140 ProAct employees over an 18month period. Entry level training and retraining are to be emphasized. The grant provides assistance in several areas, including: Cutworks (AutoCAD), trained medication administration, special needs job coaching and team building, Adapted Lean systems, electronic documentation and Train the Trainer in Lean, CPR and first aid. The Job Skills Partnership is a part of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. Southeast Technical President Jim Johnson said the grant to ProAct is one of four that total about $800,000, and its unusual for the school to administer four grants at once. ProAct is a really exciting grant for us, especially the Lean training for client employees, he said. The Lean system was first popularized by the worlds largest carmaker, Toyota, in its manufacturing. The Job Skills Partnership has a long history in the state, Johnson explains. Its goal is to leverage state, local and private resources to address the critical training needs of businesses in the region. The school has been given more than 30 business grants since the program started some three decades ago. Southeast Technical Director of Business Relations Calli Ekblad was a key driver in securing the grant funds. We are committed to helping local employers develop a well-trained, skilled workforce, she said. ProAct is headquartered in Eagan and has additional operations in Red Wing, Zumbrota, and in Hudson, Wisconsin. Its mission is to serve individuals experiencing barriers to employment and self-sufficiency due to intellectual and developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health issues, traumatic brain injuries, and other challenges.

KW prepares to renew police liaison contract

By Alicia Hunt-Welch WANAMINGO Superintendent Jeff Evert told the KenyonWanamingo School Board at the January 27 meeting that the Kenyon Police Department would like to present a bid for the police liaison position with the schools. For many years a resource officer has been contracted through the Goodhue County Sherriffs Office. Part of the funding for this position is paid for through the GCSO. The county has presented a three-year contract renewal for the districts consideration. Evert said he informed Kenyon Police Chief Lee Sjolander that the district would be looking for a contract that is comparable in service, hours, and cost to that currently used through the county.
Cuts to staffing and programs

The board was presented with a resolution to approve the Goodhue County Education Districts plan to construct a new consolidated special education services building in Red Wing. GCED Director Cherie Johnson said if the project was approved by a majority of the member districts, construction would break ground in July 2014. Students would enter the building in 2015. Karla Bauer asked if construction could be completed in that timeframe. Johnson said yes, if they break ground in July, but the GCED has contingency plans in place if the building is not ready. A motion by Bauer, seconded by Greg Dotson, to approve the plan for constructing a new building near Red Wing High School carried 6-0.

other dollars. Evert pointed to decreased enrollment and a decrease in the overall fund balance as reasons to consider cuts. In a memo to board members Evert stated, This is the time to make reductions to bring our budget back in line. No action on cuts were taken at the meeting. It should be noted that district is currently in the process of negotiating a contract with the teachers. Last year cuts were not determined to be needed.

Extended field trips outside the state were discussed at the January 13 working meeting. One of the trips being evaluated to make it more affordable is the four-day eighth grade Washington D.C. annual trip. Ashland said the cost to organize a tour through 4-H could save about $500 per person.

Evert said he met with Principals Brent Ashland and Matt Ryan to discuss possible cuts in staff and programs. Staffing for kindergarten may be considered since the number of students entering the grade next year will be smaller than the current kindergarten enrollment. Evert said the district is currently at 58.5 full-time equivalent employees. A few years ago it was about 52. Evert did not indicate, however, if the additional positions were created and funded by government programs or if they were positions created at the districts discretion and funded by

Goodhue County Extension group takes tour to Nebraska

By Muriel Joseph and Sandy ONeill GOODHUE The Goodhue County Extension group went on a fall tour to Nebraska in October. Day 1 We boarded our buses on October 1 for a repeat tour in the Omaha, Nebraska, area. Our brunch stop was at the Olde Main Brewery in Ames, Iowa. The historic building was sectioned into several eating areas. We then settled back into our bus seats for a three-hour drive west to Omaha. Fort Omaha (Metro Community College complex) is where the General Crook House Museum is located. We first enjoyed a sack lunch in the cafeteria and then a short ride to the historic Italianate house. Built in 1879, the home shows the life of how the commanding officer and his family lived on the edge of the frontier in the 1880s. Several presidents and dignitaries were guests in their home. Many beautiful artifacts were displayed throughout the blind and visually impaired to excel in their professional and personal lives. We toured the factory by following a walk with raised edges the walk that blind workers use to help them navigate around the factory. It was called The Yellow Brick Road. We saw huge twelve foot tall paper rolls that would be cut into toilet tissue rolls. Each roll was individually wrapped with their logo on and placed in boxes. Then the boxes are shipped to a near-by Air Force base. When it was time to leave, we each took a roll of toilet paper from the assembly line, compliments of ONI. Our next stop was the Hot Shops Art Center. This was a self-guided tour where we saw local artists doing wood carving, pottery making, and glass blowing demonstrations. Seventy artists have their studios there. By now, we were hungry for some soul food from Big Mamas Kitchen. Big Mama is a 70-yearold lady who is always at her establishment greeting patrons. She told us about her passion for cooking that she acquired while learning to cook in the kitchen of her beloved Grandmother Lillie. That day we were served ovenfried chicken, gravy, corn bread, cranberry sun tea, and her famous homemade sweet potato pie ice cream. After eating what reminded us of a Sunday dinner we were off to a special organ concert. The organ concert was held at the home of the Markworth residence. In 1995 the Markworths built their home to accommodate the 1927 Theatre Pipe Kimball Organ purchased from the Leona Theater in Homestead, Pennsylvania. After rebuilding, cleaning, restoring and installing, it has become the largest theatre pipe organ in Nebraska. We were entertained with music from the forties, fiftys, musicals, and big band sounds. During From left to right are Ginny Fitschen of Red Wing, historical speaker an old fashion sing-a-long pictures Darrell Draper, and Audrey Baker of Red Wing. Draper represented a of downtown Red Wing, a rural prominent businessman, Peter Sarpy, one of the pioneers of Sarpy farm scene, and the giant Red Wing County, Nebraska. Shoe appeared on a screen. This house and we could also enjoy the Victorian gardens containing heirloom plants, trees, and shrubs. Time to leave for the Ramada Plaza to relax before our banquet and evening entertainment. The African Culture Connection group were authentic dressed dancers and drummers performing songs and dances brought from Africa. Their energy made many of us tired just watching their performance. Day 2 The second morning of our trip started with a breakfast served in a private room. This gave us time to enjoy the food and visit with friends before we began our exciting day in Omaha. We had all wondered about the visit to a toilet paper factory and soon our curiosity would be over because this was our first stop. ONI (Outlook Nebraska, Inc.) is a toilet tissue facility that trains and educates the blind and visually impaired in Nebraska. Since its beginning in the year 2000, ONI has been helpful in allowing the

made us feel the concert was especially designed for us. After the concert there was a rest period before leaving for a Mexican dinner at Cantina Laredo where we were served gourmet Mexican food. Then to complete the evening, we went to the El Museo Latino Museum to watch young dancers perform an authentic Aztec dance, another Mexican dance influenced by the southern border of the United States, and then finished the program with a beautiful Mexican hat dance. The dancers mission was to provide and respect Mexican culture and art experiences and their mission was certainly accomplished that evening. Day 3 After our brunch, our speaker Darrel Draper (alias Peter Sarpy) bounded into our room in costume and lots of energy to give us the history of the area. With lots of audience participation, we learned not only Nebraska history, but also our countrys beginnings. Our buses were loaded and headed for the Museum of Religious Art near Logan, Iowa. The building is divided into several areas containing many Judeo/ Christian art and artifacts. Paul and Helen Lovells dream was to preserve and exhibit religious art, tradition and culture. The mission chapel is designed

to look like a southwest Spanish chapel. The highlight was a walk through an area called King of Kings. It shows life-size wax figures depicting nine scenes of Christs life. We then headed east for a lunch stop at Pizza Ranch in Waukee, Iowa. Clear lake, Iowa, was our last tour of the Surf Ballroom. The present building was constructed in 1948 and remains a busy place for concerts, dances, and receptions. An area of special interest displays a shrine to Buddy Holly,

the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens. The trio had performed on February 2, 1959 and boarded a plane for Moorhead. The plane crashed in a nearby field killing all on board. Many of us recalled musical memories of big bands, 50s, 60s, polka, and jazz music. A quick fast food stop and we were back to the freeway headed home. We have lots of new information about the interesting places we visited, to bring back to family, friends, and Home Study groups.
