Operation Jericho to be held in Zumbrota
Teens charged
in Agri-Tech fire
By Alicia Hunt-Welch
ZUMBROTA Two Pine Island teens face felony charges for
their role in a fire that destroyed
Agri-Tech Industrial Services at
580 First Street West in Zumbrota.
On October 3, Tyler Thomas
Lejcher, 18, and Samuel Douglas
McPhail, 19, were both charged
in Goodhue County District Court
with one count of negligent fire
for an incident on May 24 that
destroyed three parts of the building, two trucks, repair equipment
belonging to owner Steve Groth,
and four trucks belonging to customers. The total loss was $1.3
million.
Agri-Tech does mechanical
work on trucks and large agricultural equipment. The night of the
incident, Groth was at the building before midnight and recalled
smelling something burning. He
was not concerned, because he
thought it was coming from neighborhood campfires. Neighbors had
called the police hours before the
fire to report large fireworks going off over the building.
The fire ignited at about 2 a.m.
A few hours later, the buildings
fire alarm went off. Groth ran into
the back of the shop, opened the
garage door and found the shop
fully engulfed in flames. Groth
and a friend who was also in the
building escaped unharmed. The
Zumbrota, Goodhue, and
Wanamingo Fire Departments all
assisted in fighting the blaze until
10 a.m. It reignited several times
and was doused within the 24 hours
that followed.
The state fire marshal conducted
an investigation to determine the
cause of the fire. A natural cause
was immediately ruled out. Illegal fireworks canisters were found
at the scene. Investigators were
able to track down who lit the
fireworks and determined that the
teens had purchased the fireworks
in Wisconsin that day.
The suspects admitted to transporting multiple explosives, illegal in Minnesota, to a bonfire in
Zumbrota and to shooting them
off at 11 p.m. a few blocks from

the business.
Lejcher said as a squad car arrived in the area he and McPhail
fled the scene. He told authorities
he placed the leftover cake shells
by the high grass behind some tin
that was on the backside of the
(ATI) building. The tin was leaning up against the building.
State Fire Marshal Arson Investigator Steve Wolf concluded
that the fire was ignited by smoldering discarded fireworks that
were placed in close proximity to
the building and sliding door.
McPhail told officers that the
fireworks were lit off for amusement. He had no intention of setting anything on fire. Authorities
said they believe the fire was not
set intentionally by the teens involved.
The Wisconsin fireworks shop
owner told authorities that all customers are given instructions that
cake fireworks are to be left alone
to cool and should even be doused
with water to prevent injury or
fire hazard.
A third Pine Island teen was
interviewed by authorities but was
not charged. The three kept their
illegal fireworks under the other
suspects bed, but he was not with
McPhail and Lejcher during the
incident on May 24. Illegal fireworks recovered at the teens property were turned over to authorities and destroyed.
McPhail is scheduled to appear
in court on November 7. Lejchers
lawyer was not available on November 7 and therefore his court
date was postponed to December
19. They each face a maximum
penalty of three years in prison
and a $5,000 fine.
Groth said the suspects personally apologized to him for the incident and that he has forgiven
them. He does not plan to pursue
any additional charges and is ready
to put the incident in the past and
move forward. He said he hopes
to have his businesses fully operational again by the end of the
year.

ZUMBROTA On Friday,
November 28 Operation Jericho,
a Christ-centered community-wide
prayer event, will be held in Zumbrota. The event is open to anyone who wants to join, regardless
of their religious affiliations, where
they live, or what they may be
struggling with personally.
In the days leading up to it, open
prayer meetings will be held inside the bridge at Covered Bridge
Park every evening at 7 p.m., beginning on Saturday, November
22. Additionally, there will be a 9
a.m. meeting before the event on
November 28. Each meeting will
have a different area of focus. In
order, they are: education and
youth, churches, businesses, media / arts and entertainment, local
government and community services, families, and Zumbrota.
Operation Jericho is led by Zumbrota residents Jeff Bremer, Wendy
Schuster, and Pat and Joanne Cluth
who all attend different churches
around the community. In September, the group, along with
Bremers wife Julie and parents
Dale and Margo Bremer, met to
pray for Zumbrota over a 21-day
period. The idea to do an Operation Jericho event in Zumbrota was
inspired by a dream Pat Cluth had
at the end of their three weeks of
prayer. In the dream he saw a prayer
event take place in Zumbrota. He
noted that it was the day after
Thanksgiving, November 28. The
worst thing that can happen is
people thinking I am a little nutty,
Cluth said, but the upside is an
opportunity for God to move in
this city.
As Cluth shared the details of
the dream to the group, Bremer
realized he was describing an event
called Operation Jericho, for which
hundreds of participants united at
the steps of the State Capitol in
Operation Jericho leadership team members are, from left to right, Jeff and Julie Bremer, Pat and JoAnne
Cluth, and Wendy Schuster. The event will be held on Friday, November 28, with open prayer meetings on 7
p.m. on each night before, starting November 22. And a 9 a.m. open prayer meeting will be on November 28
before the Operation Jericho event.
the Twin Cities to worship together

and pray for Minnesota. Bremer
also organized that Operation Jericho event. The name Jericho is
derived from a biblical account in
the book of Joshua.
Im amazed how the news of
Operation Jericho has drawn the
interest and support from other
churches and cities over 130 miles
away, Bremer said. One such
group that plans to attend is from
Grantsburg, Wisconsin. The group
told Bremer that theyve been praying for their own city and feel
people need to start coming together as cities to support each
other with initiatives like this.
Operation Jericho will start out
in Covered Bridge Park at 10 a.m.

with prayer, worship, and speakers giving their testimony to prepare everyones hearts and set the
tone for what will follow. Those
attending will then do a prayer
walk or drive on a two-mile route
around either the east or west side
of the city limits.
At approximately 12:15 everyone will gather in the parking lot
at Our Saviours Lutheran Church.
From there, drivers will go in a
procession down Main Street back
to the Covered Bridge Park. Walkers will board hay wagons or trailers and be transported in a procession down either East or West
Avenue back to the park. Once
back at the park, everyone will

come together for final prayer, and
the day will conclude with the blowing of seven trumpets along with
a united shout for the Lord to move
in Zumbrota.
God has great plans for Zumbrota, Bremer said. This isnt
an end-all event. We think of this
as an epicenter and want this spark
to continue to branch out to other
communities around Minnesota.
Anyone who wishes to volunteer or has any questions is encouraged to contact the Operation
Jericho
team

Groundbreaking for new preK-4 school

By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND The Pine Island School District held a
groundbreaking ceremony at the
site of the new PreK-4 Elementary School on 125th Street on
October 30. Representatives of the
community, school, city, New
Haven Township, Kraus-Anderson, and Wendel Architects participated, and about 150 people
attended the celebration.
Superintendent Tammy BergBeniak opened the event. She describes the Pine Island community with four words: patience,
persistence, partnership, and passionate people. She said that it has
taken layers of partnership to come
to this point of building the new
elementary school and improving

the current building.
Boy Scouts Keagan Bailey and
Randy Lange led the Pledge of
Allegiance. Mayor Rod Steele
welcomed the community, and
Mary Andrist of New Haven Township and Karen Doll of the Economic Development Authority
spoke to the group. Community
members Jeff Leland and Madge
Alberts also spoke. Doug Strandell,
Pastor Kip Groettum, and Barb
Hoppe of the Pine Island band
performed music.
There
were
three
groundbreaking digs. The first
included school board members
April Bailey, John Champa, Jer-
emy Douglas, Kim Fall, Kerry

Hayden, Angela Heiden, and Rob
Warneke, with Berg-Beniak. The
second included Steele, New Haven representatives Andrist and
Ann Fahy-Gust, Wendel Architects, Kraus-Anderson representatives, the city council, Jon
Eickhoff, Principals Cindy Hansen
and Kevin Cardille, parents Patrick
Johnston and Ivana Micallef, Doll,
Jeff Leland, Madge Alberts, Mark
Thein, Mike Hildenbrand, Jan
McNallan, PIEA President Jodi
Jacobson, students Christian Pahl
and Audrie Simpson, and Pastor
Groettum.
The third dig included school
staff with 400 combined years of
service at Pine Island Schools. This

celebration of service included
Craig Anderson (38 years), Margie
Berg (35), Candy Finley (31), Doug
Strandell (31), Beth Kohner (30),
Don McPhail (30), Jeanie Rucker
(30), Rick Canton (28), Shari
Ellingsen (28), Joe Mish (28), Brian
Morris (28), and Diane Romo (28).
Berg-Beniak thanked the community and all the partners who
supported the school. Later, she
said that the people will be proud
of their schools when the projects
are completed. One feature that
will benefit the entire community
is the auditorium that will be added
with the improvements to the
middle/high school.
Debb Paquin to accept Everts

resignation, seconded by Marilyn
Syverson, carried 7-0.
Unlike salary contracts for principals, teachers, and other staff,
the district does not negotiate the
SASS superintendent contract. The
board did not discuss whether they
would contract a new superintendent through SASS or if the position would be as a direct district
employee.
Evert said he spoke to Gary
Kuphal about attending the November school board meeting.
Kuphal has been the superintendent for Plainview-Elgin-Milville,
and prior to that for Southland and
LeRoy-Ostrander.
Board member Greg Dotson
asked if Zumbrota-Mazeppa would
share a superintendent, since they
also are looking for a superintendent. Dotson noted that KW hasnt
had a full-time superintendent for
three years. Elise Wrolstad said
board members have discussed this
and said they want or need a fulltime superintendent.
Karla Bauer said she would be
concerned that a person may not
be fully invested in the district if
also serving another. She added

Did your candidates and party

win? More importantly, did you
vote? I voted, did you? The consequences of not voting are severe. You may not think about the
danger of not voting, but there is
some. Voting in any election is a
right and a privilege which we
can lose by not exercising the right.
Why is it dangerous?
We have seen from the past that
high margin wins lead the candidate to assume that he or she has
the will of the people behind them.
They may have, until they make a
big enough mistake and get caught.
If too many of us dont vote, the
people running for a position make
the assumption that we dont care
about the country. Eventually, we
will give up the right and privi-

lege until something really bad

happens. Then we have to fight to
get the right back.
The citizens of this country (The
good ole USA) have created in
their own minds lots of reasons
for not voting and they are all false.
The easiest that comes to mind:
I havent got time to take off to
vote. This excuse is false for several reasons. By law, your employer must give you time to vote.
You must take it. You are the
boss and you dont have time; sorry
but you do. You dont like to
stand in line. Neither do I. But
we must do it. Does my vote
count? Yes and each vote is important. It doesnt matter who
wins they are all thieves who intend to raise my taxes. Negative
thinking at its finest! You have no
proof that any politician is a thief.
We have both bragging rights
and complaining rights. If you
didnt vote, then you cant cheer

vote. This is not a good thing because you threw your vote away.
The best way to avoid voter fraud
is to vote.
A science fiction author imagined a country like the USA with
a few differences. In order to run
for an office, you had to earn the
right to vote. How did you earn
the right? By serving in the military. The country was at war with
an alien race. Each battle tended
to be complete losses for both sides.
The survivors (if any) became eligible to vote and to run for office.

Pine Island
Pine Island High School
to stage musical Honk!
PINE ISLAND Pine Island
High School will present the musical Honk! in the maroon gym
on November 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m.
and on November 9 at 2 p.m.
Based on Hans Christian
Andersens The Ugly Duckling,
Honk! tells the story of an odd
looking baby duck, Ugly, and his
quest to find his mother. Soon after Ugly is born, he is lured away
by a wily Cat who wants to eat
Ugly for dinner. Eventually, Ugly
manages to escape but has no idea
how to return home. During his
adventure he encounters a wild
cast of characters including a
shabby flock of militarized geese,
a chicken who lives on the couch,
a ballad-belting bullfrog, and a
beautiful swan, Penny, who is
tangled in a fishing line, and with
whom he falls in love. After she
returns to her flock to fly south for
the winter, Ugly is forced to tough

out a blizzard and the trickery of
the cat, in a last ditch effort to
make it back to the farm.
The musical is directed by Kate
Susa and the orchestra director is
Joe Mish.
The cast includes Jacob Barsness
(as Ugly), Garrett Talbot, Amanda
Hildenbrand, Allegra Hoppe,
Caleb Kopp, Kira Ziegler, Emma
Culbertson, Mel Heeren, Ashley
Westlake, Wesley Sorum, Valeria
Agus, Mitchell Magnuson,

National Red Ribbon Week
observed at PI Elementary School
By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND Students and
staff at Pine Island Elementary
School had fun dressing up during National Red Ribbon Week.
The annual nationwide event took
place October 27 through October 31.
Students and staff in grades K4 dressed up throughout the week
to helped draw awareness to the
dangers of drug use and addiction. Each day of the week had its
own message and dress-up theme.
Fourth grade students were also
encouraged to participate in a poster
contest.
Monday was Celebrating Red
Ribbon Week with students wearing red. High School Students
against Destructive Decisions
(SADD) members also handed out
ribbons to the students. Tuesdays
theme was Being Drug-Free is
No Sweat! and students wore their
favorite
sweatshirts
and
sweatpants. Wednesday was Give
Drugs the Boot! with students
wearing their favorite boots. Thursday was Team up against Drugs!
with students wearing their favorite
team jersey, uniform, or colors.
Friday was Drugs are No Treat!
and students wore Halloween costumes as directed by their teachers.
Twenty students participated in
the poster contest. First through
third place winners were selected
by SADD members Hunter
Kraling, Andy Bogard, Malea
Klein, and Lindsay Cobb on Thursday, October 30. Winners for the
fourth grade Team Up Against
Drugs poster contest were Cheyenne Jones, first place; Madysen
Diskerud, second; and Ella Cordes,
third.
Red Ribbon Week is a nationally recognized and celebrated
event that takes place every year
during the last week of October. It
serves as a way for communities
and individuals to take a stand
against drug abuse through education and drug prevention. Red
Ribbon Week is the oldest and
largest drug prevention campaign
in the country. The Red Ribbon
Campaign was started when drug
traffickers in Mexico City murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena
in 1985. This led to the continuing tradition of displaying red ribbons as a symbol of intolerance
towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign
is to present a unified and visible
commitment towards the creation
of a drug-free America.
Elementary school counselor
Jeanne Brustuen and SADD members used Red Ribbon Week to
encourage Pine Island students to
make smart and informed decisions when it comes to drugs and
alcohol.

NORTHFIELD The over 340
runners who took part in the Class
A State Cross Country Meet were
not as thinly clad as usual on Saturday morning. With temperatures
in the upper 20s and an increasing
wind, runners added some tights
and hats to keep warm running
around the course at St. Olaf College in Northfield.
The Class A boys took to the
course first at 10 a.m. Jack Williams got off to a good start in his
first state meet. The Pine Island
sophomore ran in a tight pack where
many runners have similar talents.
Shane Streich of Waseca ran away
with the individual title, touring
the 5,000-meter course in 15:46.
Mora won the boys team title with
a low score of 104 points. Martin
County West was four points back
at 108 to place second.
Williams placed in the top third
of the meet, placing 52nd in
17:06.6. The boys Class A meet
tallied 176 runners.
The Class A girls took to the
course in the second race of the
day and, like Williams, Jocasta
Adelsman and Josselyn Lindahl
were running in their first state
meet. The two freshmen, who have
run as a team most of the season,
stayed together until the last
800meters of the race when Adelsman placed 52nd in 15:50.7 with
Lindahl placing 66th in 15:58.8
out of 171 runners. Emily Donnay
of Eden Valley-Watkins/Kimball
Area won the individual title with
a time of 14:27. Trinity at River

NORWOOD A year ago sixthseeded Norwood Young America
came to Zumbrota for the opening round of Section 2AA play
against third-seeded ZumbrotaMazeppa. NYA scored a slight
upset with a 36-35 win.
This year NYA came into the
playoffs as the top seed in Section
2AA play with a 7-1 record. There
was no upset this round, and NYA
routed the Cougars 49-12.
They were pretty good this
year, said Coach Willie Rauen
of the Raiders. They were big up
front, they had some speed in the
backfield, and they kind of did
what they wanted to do. We didnt
have a first down in the first half.
NYA built up a 14-0 lead at the
end of the third quarter in runs of
20 and 15 yards by Zach Storms
and Noah Peterson. The Raiders
found the end zone five times in
the second quarter on a six-yard
run by Peterson, a 55-yard punt
returned for a TD by Isaac
Hormann, a 28-yard pass from
Hormann to Tim Wolf, a two-yard
TD run by Zach Heiland and a
one-yard plunge by Storms.
NYA came back from the break
to tack on one more score, a oneyard run by Storms.

ZM got on the scoreboard in the
third quarter on a five-yard run by
Maverick Jackson. He added another five-yard run for the 49-12
score.
Freedom Hunt was 5 of 14 passing for 20 yards and two interceptions,. He also led the ZM ground
game, gaining 55 yards on seven
carries. Jacob Forrey made four
receptions for 17 yards.
Zumbrota-Mazeppa ends the
season at 4-6. The Cougars will
graduate 14 seniors in Jacob Forrey, Aaron Bianchi, Freedom Hunt,
Steef Weber-Gonzales, Noah
Prodzinski, Tucker Lemmerman,
Jerrell Guider, Tyler Poncelet,
Blake Lerum, Seth Tupper, Caleb
Arendt, Evan Block, Connor Hegseth and Joey OGorman.

Belle Plaine ends KWs season

for the second straight year
By Faye Haugen
ST. PETER For the second
year in a row, Belle Plaine ended
Kenyon-Wanamingos volleyball
season in the Section 2AA final in
St. Peter. The fifth-ranked Class
AA Tigers stopped the Knights in
four games, just like last year.
For the second year in a row,
the Knights did win the South
Section 2AA title. KW knocked
off Blue Earth Area in the tourna-
ment opener. On Tuesday KW

beat second-seeded WatervilleElysian-Morristown in five games
to win the championship trophy.
Tri City United
Fifth-seeded Tri City United
scored a slight upset in the quarterfinals when they beat fourthseeded New Richland-HartlandEllendale-Geneva. But the Titans
were knocked back into reality
when Kenyon-Wanamingo ended
their season in three games, 2521, 25-12 and 25-21 in Mankato,

Tuesday.
It was a great night. We had a
slow start, but we finished strong
and with a win. Our blocking on
defense was strong, said Coach
Jen Nerison.
Megan Quam had four blocks,
eight kills and 10 digs; Mara Quam
had 10 kills and 14 digs; Mia Peterson had two ace serves and 23 set
assists. Brittney Flom had 13 kills
and four blocks.

Waterville-Elysian-Morristown
The Knights took on secondseeded Waterville-Elysian-Morristown in the South Section 2AA
finals on Thursday at St. Peter.
KW took control early winning
the first two games 25-17 and 2516. On a roll, the Knights got off
to a 6-1 start in the third game.
But the Bucs came roaring back
to take a 7-6 advantage, building
to a 20-15 lead. After a much
needed timeout, the Knights returned to the court to tie the match
at 21 on a Alexa Christianson kill.
A KW error was followed by a

to 23-21. A bad serve by the Bucs

gave KW life, but a WEM kill
moved the Bucs to game point.
Mara Quams kill and an ace serve
by Kasey Dummer knotted the
score at 24-24. WEM got the win
when KW missed the next serve
and an ace tip gave WEM the 2624 win.
The fourth game was much like
the third, KW had to fight from
behind most of the match. The
Knights trailed 9-5 before clawing their way back into the match
to take a 17-16 lead, building it to
21-18 before five KW errors along
with a Buccaneer ace serve and a
kill ended the match 25-22, forcing a fifth and deciding game.
With their backs to the wall,
KW jumped out to a 7-1 lead in
the fifth game, building it to 10-4
before WEM closed the gap to
12-10. But the Knights scored the
last three points on a Mara Quam
kill, an Emily Ashland block and
an ace serve by Mara Quam.
What a night. Thats what
comes to mind when I think about
it. WEM put up a great fight. They
did not give up after the first two
sets and I give them a ton of credit.
They are a tough team and it was
just a battle tonight, remarked
Coach Nerison. I am proud of
my girls. They fought until the
end.
Mara Quam led KW with 17
kills, 22 digs, four blocks and three
ace serves; Megan Quam had 16
kills, 20 digs and two blocks; Brittney Flom had 14 kills and three
blocks. Mia Peterson had 28 set
assists and two ace serves; Kasey

serves.

Belle Plaine
The Knights knew heading into
the Section 2AA finals in St. Peter on Saturday that they had to
get a hand up to block each Belle
Plaine hit, they needed to play great
defense and they needed to serve
well. They did all that and still
lost 25-17, 19-25, 25-23 and 2519.
The big difference in the game
was sophomore Mariena Hayden
who put the Tigers on her back
and won them their third straight
Section 2AA title. The 6 Hayden
knocked down an incredible 34
kills with her powerful swings finding open space.
The Knights got off to a slow
start in the first game, trailing 149, but they fought back to close
the game to 16-13 before the Tigers won 25-17.
KW was much more fired up in
the second game as they took a 61 lead before the Tigers rallied to
close to 6-5. The Knights got their
momentum back and increased

their advantage to 22-16. KW did

not let up and a Mara Quam kill
sealed the 25-19 win.
The third game was the hardest
fought of the match with neither
team giving up much. KW trailed
11-7 but rallied to tie it at 17. Belle
Plaine used a KW error to move to
23-20, but senior Brittney Flom
came up big with an ace tip and a
huge block on Hayden to pull to
23-22. Hayden came right back
with another kill which was followed by a Flom kill to keep KW
in the game. The Knights came up
with another block of Hayden, but
the ball went out of bounds for a
25-23 Tiger win.
The Knights never recovered
from the third game loss. They
trailed early in the fourth game,
drawing no closer than 10-7. Down
21-16, Brittney Flom earned a
block followed by a Mara Quam
ace serve to move the score to 2117, but three Tiger kills, two by
Hayden and a KW error resulted
in a 25-19 loss that ended the
Knights season at 28-5.
Mara Quam led KW with 13

kills, 18 digs, two blocks and three
ace serves; Brittney Flom had 12
kills and three blocks; Megan
Quam had nine kills, 19 digs and
three blocks; Mia Peterson had 27
set assists and nine digs; Kasey
Dummer had 25 digs; and Megan
Flom had five blocks.
Kenyon-Wanamingo will graduate three seniors in starters Brittney Flom Emily Ashland and
Megan Quam.
It is super sad to see this season end, lamented Coach Nerison. I was fortunate to coach an
amazing group of girls with great
attitude.

Sixty-six make mission trip to Mexico

BAJA, MEXICO Over MEA
vacation October 11-18, sixty-six
people from the community traveled to Vicente Guerrero, Baja,
Mexico on a mission to do Gods
Work...Our Hands. In fact, their
t-shirts displayed this phrase in
Spanish while they spent a week
in one of the poorest areas of
Mexico.
For many in the group, this was
the third time they have traveled
to Baja. In 2008, forty-seven people
built four houses, and in 2011,
fifty-five people built five houses.
Calling themselves the Baja
Builders, members of Saint Paul
Lutheran Church in Pine Island
and Minneola Lutheran Church
in rural Goodhue traveled from
Minnesota to San Diego by airplane, then piled into vans for a
five-hour drive down the Baja
Peninsula to their destination.
When they arrived, they split
into seven teams. Three teams
worked together to build a school,
which consisted of three 20x22'
structures. These teams worked
near the site where the local children were already attending school
in a building badly in need of repairs. You can imagine the delight and excitement of these children as they watched their new
school being built before their eyes!
Whenever they had a break during their classes, they were right
beside the Baja Builders helping
to pound a nail, hold a board or
paint a wall.
The Barnsess family from Pine
Island (Eric, Tracy, Adam, Jacob
and David) were first-time travelers on this trip. Tracy commented,
The Baja mission trip was very
special for us as we were able to
share the experience with our three
boys. It helped everyone to see
how happiness doesnt come from
material things. As one of our boys
observed, The people there were
more than happy to share what
little they had, and they really dont
have much. I dont think that would
happen in the U.S. She went on,
Working with the people in our
group was fulfilling as well to
see all the gifts and talents that
each person brought forward was
amazing!
Two teams spent their week
building homes for two families
near the school. These houses were
20x22' wood-frame structures
Beth Kohner, Kim Aarsvold, Karla Thompson, and Kari Strandell worked together with two other teams of
builders to complete three school buildings.
Jacob Barnsess and his assistant helped build a school in the neighborhood
of San Francisco, near Vicente Guerrero, Baja, Mexico.
placed on concrete pads. Special

touches such as custom-made
shelves and bunk beds, jewel-toned
paint coating the outside walls,
and gifts of kitchen tables and
chairs, blankets and hand-crafted
wooden nativity scenes turned
these structures into homes.
Karen Doll is a seasoned Baja
Builder and the organizer of the
group. She said, Since my first
trip to Baja California, Mexico in
2001, there has been a noticeable
improvement in the regions
economy and standard of living.
Severe poverty still exists for many
who work long days in the vegetable and fruit fields for $8-10
per day, but there is an emerging
class of people who are finding
better paying jobs. Over 3,500
homes have been built in the area
by IDT, the organization we work
with, and electricity now extends
to several neighborhoods in the
outskirts of the community. The
government has become more
supportive of education, and more
children are attending school. It
was a joy to visit the families we
built homes for in 2008 and 2011
- all of them are still living in their
homes, which have been well cared
for, and they seemed very grateful and content.
Another building team went to

work in a neighborhood a few miles
away where their task was to construct a medical facility. This was
a three-room building where a team
of doctors and nurses can now treat
patients in a clean area with a concrete floor and private exam rooms.
Neighbors were found on the job
site daily helping with construction tasks and providing food and
encouragement to the builders.
Spending a week in an orphanage was the good fortune of the
seventh team. There they were able
to interact with the 80+ children
who either live at the orphanage
full time, or spend time there daily
at the daycare center. Cheryl Kyllo
said, We brought pajamas for each
child and got to deliver them firsthand the first night we were there.
What a delight to see their faces
when they were given this gift!
Another highlight for all of us is
that we took a tortilla breakfast to
a neighborhood and served 120
children and some moms this
breakfast, which included a hot
dog inside the tortilla, a banana,
two cookies and some tootsie rolls.
How is that for an ideal breakfast?
They were thrilled and so very
thankful. She explained, the only
income the orphanage has, besides
donations, is a macadamia orchard.

We worked in that area cleaning
the nuts and dividing them into
whole, halves or bits to be used in
their merchandise they sell. We
also participated in a youth evangelism afternoon that included
Bible stories in Spanish. We served
peanut butter and milk and played
jump rope and soccer with the 50+
kids. We were busy from the very
start of the day (7 a.m. breakfast)
until the end of the day which was
usually around 9:30 p.m. or so. It
was a mission trip that we will
never forget!
Each member of the Baja Builders group paid his or her own expenses for travel, food and lodging. The group worked hard for
the past two years to fundraise all
of the money they used for the
building materials and other special projects. The generosity of
the community during these
fundraising efforts was amazing.
With the support of the community, the group was able to help
the families in Baja in these ways:
Built six structures
Wired for electricity in six
buildings
Painted and sheeted the interiors of four buildings
Purchased 282 dispensas (flour,
corn meal, beans, rice, oil, tuna,
tomato sauce, soap, which constitutes a weeks supply of staples
Costume contest winners and

for a family)
Distributed 70 Spanish Bibles,
72 large jars of peanut butter, 30+
cans of baby formula and lots of
diapers
All 55 families and the church
in the neighborhood were given a
gift. They were able to choose from
a list of four items: a two-burner
stove with a tank of gas and hookups, a 100-gallon water tank, a
bath house, or an outhouse
Donations were given to International Discipleship Training
(IDT) for Spanish Bibles and food;
the school for childrens uniforms
and additional facility improvements; HEART Ministries for
construction tools and an internet
base set-up; and the womens shelter and the orphanage for daily
needs.

RED WING There are many
mental health services and resources available to residents in
Goodhue County and we are happy
to report a new addition is coming
here soon.
On September 16, 2013 the
Department of Human Services
(DHS) published a Request for
Proposal for expansion of mobile
crisis services to adults and children in the areas of the state that
do not have these services.
The southeast Minnesota counties, including Dodge, Fillmore,
Goodhue, Houston, Mower,
Olmsted, Steele, Wabasha,
Waseca, and Winona counties that
comprise our regions Adult Mental Health Initiative responded to
the request and were awarded
$130,000 for startup costs and
$220,000 for operating expenses.
Work is underway to develop and
expand the current community
mental health centers infrastructure along with many other providers of mobile crisis services.
The three community mental health
centers that act as hubs for this
project are Hiawatha Valley Mental
Health Center, Zumbro Valley
Mental Health Center and South
Central Human Relations Center.
The focus of this service is to
increase mobile crisis capacity

including serving children ages
0-18 years of age, creating one
central toll free crisis line to improve community access, and integration of Rapid Crisis Planning
Conferences to support families
in crisis. This means that our region will have one 1-800 number
to call for mental health crisis services. Currently our region has
about 14 different numbers. For
the past several months community stakeholders, service providers and the steering committee have
been hard at work developing this
very important service. Locally,
Hiawatha Valley Mental Health
Center, Fernbrook Family Center, Goodhue County Health and
Human Services, and residents
have been involved and participating with the work.
The SE MN Mobile Crisis Services goals are to provide individual/family-centered mental
health crisis services which can
reduce unnecessary emergency
room visits and incarcerations,
while utilizing peoples natural
supports and community resources
to stabilize people in crisis. This
service will provide an alternative resource to emergency rooms
for crisis situations.
The mission is to inspire hope
in adults and children (and their

families) by delivering compassionate, person-centered, recovery-based mental health support
during a crisis.
The team vision: All persons
involved in crisis intervention
thrive. High quality care delivered in the persons own environment form the heart of SE MNs
Mobile Crisis Services. An
individuals natural supports (family, friends, and neighbors) inform
a strength-based plan.
This mission and vision will help
to guide the crisis outreach services which will include providing a mental health crisis hotline
around-the-clock, 365-days-a year
for children, adults and families,
crisis screening, face-to-face assessment and intervention, crisis
stabilization, and crisis prevention
planning. If the crisis cannot be
de-escalated over the phone, the
crisis teams mental health professionals and practitioners are
dispatched when called on through
the crisis line, to directly help
people at home, hospital emergency rooms, law enforcement
facilities, and other settings
throughout the community with
crisis intervention, assessment, and
stabilization services.

Q: What is a rocket net, and

how is it used by the DNR?
A: A rocket net is a propelled
net used for capturing wildlife.
The net is pulled by electronicallyignited explosive charges contained in vented chambers (rockets). The rockets pull the net
through the air, and the animals
are captured as the net falls on top
of them.
Rocket nets come in different
sizes, but the ones we use for capturing waterfowl are commonly
about 40 feet long by 60 feet wide.
These nets can capture hundreds
of ducks at one time, which is especially useful when we are banding ducks before the fall hunting
season. The key to rocket nets is
they are fast the net is fired and
fully-deployed, usually in less than
a second.

ZM School District receives a

clean opinion for 2014 audit
ZUMBROTA At the school
board meeting on October 27, 2014,
Kim Hillberg of ClintonLarson
Allen LLP presented the ZumbrotaMazeppa School District audit
report ending on June 30, 2014.
She said the districts financial
statements were accurately stated
and the district has a clean audit
opinion. There were no issues of
legal compliance in the districts
financial statements.
General Fund
The General Fund (GF) Balance

totaled $1,013,498 on June 30,
2014 compared to $1,100,000 at
the end of 2013. This includes nonspendable fund balances, the lots
for the vocational education construction projects, student activity funds, and other committed
funds.
The GF unassigned fund balance totaled only $138,366 or 1.3%
of budgeted annual expenditures,
compared to $173,902 or 1.7% in
2013. Hillberg said the auditors
recommend at least 8%-16% or
enough to cover operating expenses
for at least two months.
Hillberg said inflation, utilities,
and state funding affect the school
districts revenues. There were also
some added expenses in 2013 from
a fire in the building that damaged
equipment. The district made cuts
from the budget in 2013. The
$350,000 voter-approved referendum will help improve the fund
balance beginning in 2015.
Enrollment has been stable over
the years in the district, which assists in predicting revenues. Other
factors that can affect the accuracy of financial statements are
estimates for depreciation of capital
assets, absences payable to employees, and post-employment
benefits that must be paid out. The
district depreciates assets based
on the recommendations from the
Minnesota Department of Education (MDE).
Hillberg said that student activity funds were separated from the
district funds as mandated by the
MDE. These student funds require
a separate audit and opinion.
This table compares the expenditures per student in the ZumbrotaMazeppa Schools with the averages in Minnesota districts with 10001999 WADMs and the entire state in 2014.
Health and Safety was -$17,675

in 2014 and -$10,910 in 2013.
The Debt Service Fund was
$8,765,974 in 2014. In 2013 the
balance was $9,024,162. This fund
is committed to pay off more debt
in 2015.
The Food Service balance totaled $25,458 in 2013 and $22,870
in 2014. Hillberg said this is good
because many districts have suffered decreases in revenue in this
fund from students adjusting to
the new federal guidelines in the
lunch program.
The Community Service balance
totaled $194,278 in 2013 and
$212,301 in 2014. Revenues are
generated from the very successful Cougar Care program.

2.1% other sources. In 2014, the
revenues changed to 83.8% state
sources, 9.5% local property taxes,
5.1% federal sources, and 1.6%
other sources.
School funds are calculated from
the Weighted Average Daily Membership or WADMs. ZumbrotaMazeppa had 1260 WADMs in
2014, compared to 1239 WADMs
in 2013.
Auditors recommend that
schools plan to increase the unassigned general fund balance because of the schools heavy dependence on state funding payments. Hillberg said that spending in the district continues to be

Seeds of Hope
Connie Wendt wins raffle

at UCC Country Store
ZUMBROTAConnie Wendt of Zumbrota was the lucky winner of the
playhouse raffle at First Congregational UCCs annual Country Store on
Saturday, October 24. The playhouse was built by UCC youth members
Nick and Mike Vath, with assistance from their grandfather, Bob Rolland.
Their handiwork raised nearly $800 for education programs at the
church. With Wendt are grandson Caleb Wendt (in the house) and her
son Billy Wendt.
A patient once cried, "I have no faith in doctors!"

"That's all right, ma'am," said the physician, "my
dog has no faith in the vet, but I take him and he gets
cured."
Faith is a vital force for our salvation. The Bible
states, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will
be saved." That takes faith in God's Word.
Faith must be vocal. In Romans, Paul writes that "if
you confess with your mouth, and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved."
Faith must be visual. We are commanded by Paul in
Philippians that we are to "continue to work out our
salvation." Our works prove our words.
If we truly believe, we will behave in a way that will
demonstrate to the world that our faith in Christ Jesus
makes a difference in our lives.

New Wanamingo softball field takes shape

WANAMINGO Construction
of a new softball field has brought
a striking change in appearance to
the Kenyon-Wanamingo Elementary School grounds. The project
recently began after months of
planning and gathering bids for
work.
Dave Rapp, owner of Rapp Surveying in Kenyon, surveyed the
location and staked out dimensions
of the new field. Zumbro Valley
Landscaping of Wanamingo built
a significant retaining wall, completed all excavating work, and
hauled in red rock for the infield.
On October 17, Tom Shane, owner
of Shane Electric, trenched and
ran electricity to the field, dugout,
and future scoreboard locations.
Project organizers said the field
will be playable by the spring season, as long as enough funds are
raised for the backstop and fencing to be installed.
The idea for the new ballfield
came about last year when KW
coach and teacher Kirby
VanDeWalker started thinking of
ways to build onto the baseball
and softball programs. The softball program has the advantage of
having both the varsity and junior
varsity fields in close proximity
to each another. However the JV
baseball field is in Kenyon while
the varsity baseball field is in
Wanamingo. To bring the JV baseball field to Wanamingo, a new
field needed to be constructed, and
another field altered.
Currently, the JV softball team
plays its home games on a field
east of the elementary school,
known as the pool field since it
is north of the Wanamingo pool.
This field would be turned into a
JV baseball field, which is originally how it was used many years
ago. VanDeWalker said, Before
we can return the pool field to the
dimensions of a baseball field, the
JV softball team needs a place to

play, thus a new softball field is
needed.
Having the junior varsity and
varsity fields near each other offers
major
advantages.
VanDeWalker said, One advantage is the varsity coach has the
ability to call on a JV player to
play on the varsity if situations
allow, such as during big leads
or deficits. He added, If the JV
and varsity both have double-headers, it would allow for a player to
play one game with the JV and
one with the varsity. If the coach
is not able to place the JV player
into the varsity game, the athlete
could easily return to the JV game
to get some playing time.
Other advantages include:
It will also be easier for parents with players on different teams
to catch both their childrens games.
The JV teams can watch the
end of the varsity games, to see
the intensity of varsity competition and providing learning opportunities.
Adjacent fields would allow
tournaments to be held in one location, rather than traveling between Wanamingo and and
Kenyon.
Parking lots near all four fields
make for easier accessibility for
people of all ages to enjoy a game.
The fields will all be located
near the elementary school for
quick access if shelter is ever
needed.
In summary, VanDeWalker said,
Having all four softball and baseball fields together makes it easier
for parents, more convenient for
opposing schools, provides many
advantages for our baseball and
softball programs, and makes it
safer for all spectators and members of the teams.
Last year VanDeWalker and his
father Larry proposed the idea of
the new field to the KW School

Schaefer. A majority of the work on the new field is expected to be completed before the snow flies.
Board. The board gave its approval

for the project, as long as no money
from the district was used to cover
the costs.
The total project cost is expected
to be about $75,000. Fundraising
will begin in the near future and
donations are being accepted. They
can be sent to the Wanamingo
Community Fund, attention Ball

KW Community Education program

to be audited and evaluated
KENYON Shortly after the
Kenyon-Wanamingo School
Board meeting opened on October 27, board chair Doug Kyllo
gave a brief description of the topic
discussed during a closed session
that took place on September 22.
He said the board discussed the
details for evaluating the KW
Community Education program.
Septembers meeting was closed
to the public for about an hour to
discuss what was then described
as private data.
In August the board made about
$24,000 in cuts to the Community
Education program budget by reducing staff hours, cutting programs, and reducing KW Kids
childcare hours. For several years
the KW Community Education
program has been running a defi-
cit that required the school district to transfer money to offset

big losses.
KW CE director Kris Kincaid
said much of the issues are due to
the districts decision to support
KW Kids childcare and preschool
programs at both the Wanamingo
and Kenyon sites.
Kincaids position was also affected by the cuts, and the topic
was debated in depth, particularly
with Elise Wrolstad who opposed
making the cuts at that time. The
other board members argued that
the cut to Kincaids hours, and
other cuts to her program, were
discussed at length with Kincaid
prior to the boards vote to authorize the cuts in August, and that
Kincaid had a say in those decisions.
At the August meeting, the board
indicated that the Minnesota Community Education Association

(MCEA) was able to offer auditors and/or reviews of a program
to uncover issues and suggest resolutions to any problems.
Following the October 27 meeting, Kyllo said that during
Septembers closed meeting the
board discussed the who, when,
and where details for evaluating
the KWCE program. Neither the
board members who were questioned nor Superintendent Jeff
Evert could say at that time how
much the audit/evaluation of the
KW program would cost the district.
It was noted that a representative from MCEA had already interviewed Kincaid and was preparing to meet with other staff,
administration, and school board
members as part of the process.

Brad Kennedy enjoys new job

with the City of Wanamingo
WANAMINGO Brad
Kennedy began his first day as a
City of Wanamingo employee on
October 6. Kennedy was hired as
a Public Works maintenance
worker. In his first few weeks on
the job, he has been busy familiarizing himself with a number of
tasks that come with his new position. Kennedy said, I love working at this kind of a hands-on job.
When the position was posted
Kennedy was immediately interested in applying. He said, I
wanted to work in the community
that I live. It is difficult leaving
home every day and having to
commute to work. The long-term

stability of working for a municipality was also a draw for him.
In just a few weeks on the job,
the tasks provided great variety.
He said, I have been able to participate in jetting the sanitary sewer
lines, patching asphalt on a couple
of streets, operating the tractor with
the leaf sucking machine to clean
the leaves off the street, and learning the regular routine work items.
So far the job is a perfect fit for
Kennedy. I enjoy working outside and operating equipment. I
enjoy that there is something different to work on day to day, he
said, adding, No day is the same.
Kennedy hopes to work for the

city for many years to come and
have a hand in improving the community.
Kennedy graduated from Pine
Island High School. His previous
experience includes construction,
farming, and property management. These skills should come
in useful in maintenance for the
City of Wanamingo, he said.
Kennedy lives in Wanamingo with
his wife Katie, and their daughter
Clara and son Gunner. Outside of
work, Kennedy enjoys spending
time with his family, hunting and
being outdoors.

it wouldnt hurt to ask. The board

agreed to send a letter to the ZM
School Board to inquire if they
are interested in sharing a superintendent.
Evert said Kuphal could answer
questions on that, since Southland
and LeRoy-Ostrander shared a
superintendent.
The superintendents contract
The current contract for Everts

services was approved by the board
in February 2014, and effective
July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015.
The contract specifically outlines
Evert to be employed, but if he
were unable to fulfill his duties a
replacement would be supplied.
For the 2014-15 school year, Evert
was contracted to work 200 days
for a total cost to the district of
$130,620 equivalent to $653.10
per day. The prior years contract
was for 210 duty days for the same
total cost, equivalent to $622 a
day.
In August 2009, Evert and the
board began contracting through
SASS to provide a superintendent

to the district. As part of the contract, Evert resigned as a direct
employee of the school district.
This allowed him to collect retirement benefits while still working
through SASS.
The initial 2009-10 SASS contract was for 172 duty days and a
cost to the district of $115,240.
The contract was reflective of a .8
full-time equivalent (FTE) position. That year Everts time was
divided between two administrative positions. He estimated 75%
of his time was devoted to superintendent duties and the other 25%
as elementary principal, equivalent to a .6 FTE superintendent.
In 2010, Bauer urged the board
to hire a full-time superintendent.
The 2010-11 SASS contact was
increased to 210 days and Evert
began serving as a full-time superintendent. This SASS contact
was approved by the board, but
not without extensive debate over
several months.

Kussmaul corn plot harvested

By R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE Just one-half mile
west of County Road 2 on County
Road 9 is where John and Kathy
Augustine planted a Kussmaul corn
plot on May 8. There were twelve
brands selected and each brand
was planted in six rows of 490
feet long. The different varieties
had maturity times of between 90
and 102 days. Supervising and
assisting in this venture were Duane
Jonas of Jonas Farm Seeds and
Roy Hardy, area manager of northern Wisconsin and Minnesota with
Kussmaul Seeds.
On October 24, the corn was
harvested, with the help of Lyle
Amundson and his John Deere
9560SST combine. Using a special wagon, Hardy weighed each
variety, checked its moisture content and its kernel weight. The
highest yield per acre went to K1090 at 221.2 bushels per acre,
with the average bushel per acre
being 201 for all 12 brands. The
lowest moisture content also went
to K-1090 at 20.1% with the average moisture being 25.6%. Using
a special scale, Hardy could drip a
cup of kernels and decipher the
weight of a bushel of that
variety. The heaviest weight per

GOODHUE On Sunday, October 26, the Goodhue Lions Club
served their annual brunch. The
weather was beautiful and the food
was plentiful.
The kitchen at the Lions Community Center was filled with busy
people making pancakes, toast,
sausages, grits and scrambled
eggs. Milk, orange juice, water and
coffee were available at every table.
There were several members of
the Lions making sure the tables
were clean and supplied with
