GREETING EDITION Anderson inducted into Coaches Hall of Fame

Section A of Four Sections Wednesday, December 18, 2013 No. 51
By Audra DePestel and Faye Haugen PINE ISLAND Craig Anderson was inducted into the National High School Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame on December 6 in Tucson, Arizona. Anderson is currently the athletic/activities director at Pine Island School. In 2010, Anderson retired from teaching and coaching at Pine Island School after 34 years. Anderson said he was honored to have been able to work with so many outstanding athletes, coaches, and families. I hope that they enjoyed their baseball experience, he said, but also learned valuable life lessons, on winning humbly, respecting your opponent, respecting umpire decisions, and being good teammates. I could not be more proud to be associated with the school district and community of Pine Island. Anderson was surrounded by family and friends at the awards ceremony. Wife Sue and daughters Sara and Rachel attended, as did siblings and in-laws Dave and Jane Anderson of Rochester, Dan and Cathy Anderson of Madison Wisconsin, Kevin Anderson of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Ken and Deb Anderson of Plymouth, and Sally (Anderson) Mann of Atlanta, Georgia, and Peggy (Anderson) Terry of Menomonie, Wisconsin, and her daughters Mikaela and Ciara. Former Pine Island coaches Willie Rauen and his wife Bea and Dean Krambeer and his wife Linda and good friends Carl and Nancy Potratz of Zumbrota also attended. The Minnesota High School Baseball Coaches Association was also represented by Tink Larson of Waseca, Dale Welter of Chaska, Todd Smerker of Cambridge, Don Gawrelek of Andover, and Al Aalmdal of Albany. Anderson said, We knew a year in advance that this was going to happen so everyone was able to make plans. We were able to go on some tours and do things as a family. Two other coaches besides Anderson, Frank Permuy of Gaither High School in Florida and Tom Succow of Brophy College Prep in Arizona, were inducted into the 2013 Hall of Fame along with Anderson. Each Hall of Fame member was given a plaque noting his accomplishments. Anderson coached one year in Center City, Iowa before taking a teaching and coaching position in Pine Island in 1976. Through the 2013 season, he has a career coaching record of 487-353 with ten conference championships, seven district titles, and three state tournament appearances. Under Andersons coaching, the Pine Island American Legion baseball team won the state title in 1995. Besides coaching the bigger boys, Anderson is also involved with tee ball, midgets, and Babe Ruth players during the summer. Anderson has also been active in leadership roles in state and high school baseball organizations. He has been a past president of the Minnesota High School Baseball Coaches Association and has been on its activity advisory committee for over 20 years. He was honored as the Dick Siebert Award winner in 1998 and was inducted into the MSHSBCA Hall of Fame in 2007. A native of Canton, Craig and brother Dave were inducted into the Canton High School Hall of Fame in 2001. Although he has stepped down as the PI American Legion baseball coach, Anderson is still very involved with youth baseball in Pine Island and will be for years to come.

Christmas cactus has been in the family for almost 70 years

By R.D. Aaland GOODHUE Mrs. Theodore (Mary) Duden was the first owner of of a Christmas cactus that is now in the possession of Marcy Buck. It is not known when Duden first received this plant, but it was in her house during the second World War. ter. One year, shortly after she had taken custody of the plant, rabbits ate all the leaves off the cactus. She was sure that would be the end of her plant, but it came back. After the rabbit scare, she would put the cactus outside, but it would go under the porch. When the plant is outside, it gets water only when it rains. In 2010, Buck transferred the Christmas cactus to a larger pot, and now she adds a little fertilizer in the spring. With more area for the roots to grow, so has the cactus. Buck has five children, and there is now a discussion as to who will be the next caretaker. After Christmas in 2013, her daughters are planning on taking a few leaves from the plant and they will start their own legacy. There are many reports of Christmas cacti living for fifty to seventy years. The Buck cactus is at least 68 years old. Christmas cacti are popular holiday gift plants, but they are also the subject of frequent debate among gardeners. There appears to be confusion about these unique tropical cacti regarding care, maintenance and, especially, on how to get them to re-bloom. The following tips address the most frequently asked questions. The Christmas cacti will keep their blossoms longer in cooler temperatures. Keep the plant in a well lit location away from drafts from heat vents, fireplaces or other Marcy Buck is the third generation family member to own this Christmas sources of hot air. Drafts and temcactus, which is at least 68 years old. When she passed away in 1953, the plant was passed on to her daughter, Elise Duden, who cared for the Christmas cactus until 1985, when her niece, Mrs. Murland (Marcy) Buck inherited the plant. Buck would put the plant outside every spring, and she would bring it back into the house over winperature extremes can cause the flower buds to drop from the plant before they have a chance to open. The Christmas cactus is a tropical type plant, but it needs some water; in fact, it may drop flower buds if the soil gets too dry. The plants will wilt when under drought stress. Water thoroughly when the top soil feels dry to the touch. The length of time between watering will vary with the air temperature, amount of light, rate of growth and relative humidity. The plant does not particularly need to be fertilized while in bloom, but most gardeners enjoy the challenge of keeping the plant for rebloom the next year. While plants are actively growing, use a blooming houseplant-type fertilizer and follow the label directions on how much and how often to feed. While the Christmas cactus can adapt to low light, more abundant blooms are produced on plants that have been exposed to more light intensity. Keep your plants in a sunny location indoors. Plants can be moved outdoors in summer, but keep them in a shady or semishady location. When its time to bring the plants back inside in the fall, slowly adjust the plants to life indoors by gradually increasing the number of hours they spend indoors each day. Well-drained soil is a must for Christmas cacti. Use a commercially packaged potting mix for succulent plants, or mix your own by combining two parts plain pot-

ting soil with one part clean sand or vermiculite. Pruning your Christmas cactus after blooming will encourage the plant to branch out. Remove a few sections of each stem by pinching them off with your fingers or cutting with a sharp knife. These sections can be rooted in moist vermiculite to propagate new plants. Christmas cacti will bloom if given long uninterrupted dark periods, about twelve hours each night. Begin the dark treatments in about mid-October to have plants

in full bloom by the holidays. You can place the plants in a dark closet from about 8 p.m. - 8 a.m. each night for six to eight weeks or until you see buds forming. Christmas cacti will also bloom if they are subjected to cool temperatures of about 50 to 55 degrees, eliminating the need for the dark treatments.

May your holiday deliver loads of good cheer, good friends and good fortune. We know we feel fortunate to serve people like you.

Merry Christmas from The Real Santa

Sterns Side of the Story
By Ed Stern

Many years ago, at the Stern Ranch, my son Cole was growing up in the more than festive atmosphere in our home. Now you must realize that he had three older sisters, all of them wanting Christmas to be special for the young lad. They wanted him to get excited just like they did. They wanted the days to seem like forever to pass as we got closer to Christmas Eve. They wanted him to be able to hear the prancing hooves on the roof. (Kids, dont read this next part.) So, when I was getting dressed up to go downtown and be The Real Santa at Goodhues Community Christmas, and he saw me, the wheels started turning, and I became The Real Santa. Now, in his mind, he was the luckiest kid on the planet. He was Santas son! And this allowed for

some unusual pre-holiday circumstances. When Deb told him that if he wanted a certain gift, he would have to ask Santa. He replied, I already told dad!...and he expected the gift would be there. Fortunately for me, he never asked for that Corvette, or a real, live pony, or a million dollars. And the glow on his face when he was downtown with the other kids his age to see Santa, was worth every second of my make believe bearded, red suited experience. Im not sure how long he believed in Santa, and I say that because I still do. I remember like it was yesterday, when Deb, being an honest mother, told Heidi that Santa was not real. (Just kidding, kids. He is as real as the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.) I was crushed! How could any mother crush the Spirit of Christmas like that? (And Heidi was only a junior in high school!...Really, she was much younger.) There is still something magical about little kids believing in something as big as Santa. Thats why I never gave it up. And to

this day, I enjoy watching the little children, scared to death of that big man dressed in red. That is, until they sit on his lap, or stand by his side, and tell him exactly what they want. And, if it is a good Santa, he even knows what page in the catalog, or what aisle in Fleet Farm, holds the toy of their dreams. Its a lot like The Christmas Story. Sometimes, you just have to believe. And for me, whenever I hear that some poor family, miraculously found a thousand dollars in an envelope just before the worst Christmas ever, and all of the kids got just what they wished for, I know that there is a real Santa out there some place, watching over everyone, and making sure we know who has been naughty or nice by the gifts they receive. May all of your gifts this year be special, and on sale (You dont want to break Kris Kringle!) and all the right size. From me and my family, we wish you a great Christmas filled with memories and wonderful gifts and special people. Merry Christmas, and God bless.

Happy Holidays!
Friends like you make it all worthwhile for us thanks!

The art of communications

From Devils Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher

I write, you read. You speak and I listen. And then the reverse you write and I read. I speak and you listen. I was in Toastmasters for twenty-seven years. Obviously, it was a good experience. I learned to focus my thoughts, to write and express myself as clearly as possible. And sometimes just for fun, to be obtuse and misleading, to keep you guessing. I also have the habit in long discussions of restating the obvious. For some, this habit may be a waste of time. But I have a reason behind and driv-

ing my madness. We all want to have as big a vocabulary as possible. Yet look at our everyday vocabulary. It consists of about 500 words with over 2,500 meanings. Even if we get a technical job and it has certain words with special meanings, we dont increase our vocabulary by a lot when we add the new words. Even the new words have multiple meanings. Yet, somehow, we communicate our thoughts almost 100% to each other. Here is an example of multiple meanings the word cool. We could be writing about temperature, or relationships, or attitudes about people, or other coolness. Our spelling rules help convey our intended meaning, assuming we spelled the words correctly. Do you know the difference in suffix

meanings for some words? Dependant is a person, while dependent is a relationship. The two words are pronounced nearly the same unless you are emphasizing the difference. Part of the school principals job is to enforce the principles of good behavior. English, especially American English, is a complex and structured language. In some languages, prepositions are part of a word and not a separate word. Using the correct preposition becomes critical in English. We use English without thinking about the forms, parts of speech, and how to structure a sentence. Our writing style also conveys our excitement. The next time you read something or listen (listening is harder), watch the length of the sentences. Short, simple sentences build excitement while long, compound ones slow and cool (What is the meaning of cool in this sentence?) us down. When we write technical papers, the authors deliberately use long, compound, and complex sentence structures. This style is falsely based on the belief that long sentences are equivalent to big vocabularies. (Theyre not!) The editors complain that short sentences are conversational and therefore should not be part of a technical paper. Ask an experienced writer about technical writing as to the purpose of the paper. It really is to communicate the technical ideas being presented. Then ask, Which is more efficient: long, complex sentences or short, simple ones? Think about this question, and the answer is short, simple statements. Most of the mystery of technology is the sentence structure used to explain the concepts of the specific technology. Until next week.

Wherever you go this holiday season, may peace and good fortune be with you, every step of the way. We thank you for bringing us so much joy this past year.

Board, protestors reach deal on sand mining

By Paul Martin RED WING Negotiation and compromise led to the passage of a raft of amendments to the Goodhue County mining ordinance that left commissioners and Save the Bluffs campaigners content. A public hearing and series of votes took place at the Goodhue County Board of Commissioners meeting of December 5. Staff, commissioners, and protestors all look to western Wisconsin, and are determined to avoid repeating the explosive and largely unregulated growth of huge mines that has occurred there. sippi; forbidding most chemicals used to process and wash sand; and setting harsh penalties for mine operators who violate county rules. The Mining Committee and the PAC have since weighed in, and a modified list came up for a vote. Changes to the four points reflected other concerns of the board and the PAC. They wanted to avoid conflicting or overlapping regulations. They wanted to leave as much as possible of the setting of pollution standards and best practices to the state, with its much greater resources. And they were set on safeguarding the small agFour points of compromise gregate mines that dot the county, Commissioner Dan Rechtzigel are vital for road maintenance and has been central to the process, are much less of a pollution threat. since he serves on the Planning Protect small-scale mines Advisory Commission (PAC), and The meeting heard from two men is also this years county board who sit on both the Mining Comchair.

There are ered banning mining within a mile places in the county where sand of housing areas, or the Missis- should not be mined, but there are others where landowners should have the opportunity to derive revenue from their land. And the mining ordinance covers all mining, so we must not limit aggregate mining, on which counties and townships depend for affordable rock for their roads. Howard Stenerson, who is the only mineowner on both committees, said, The ordinance as amended will make it much harder and more expensive to open aggregate mines. We mineowners can live with that, but we will have to pass those costs on. Rock will cost a lot more.
Decision time

Lisa Hanni, Director of Land Use Management, set a raft of proposed motions before the board. The first vote confirmed the end date of the county moratorium on mining applications as March 6, 2014. Next came the four points agreed upon by Fossen and Rechtzigel in October. The board agreed to ban mining activities within one mile of cities, R-1 (rural housing) zones and campgrounds. They agreed, as a compromise, to ban the use of flocculants in washing and processing sand, but to allow the use of dry chemicals. Flocculants are chemicals that cause sediments to settle out of the mined sand, but are believed to be a major cause of pollution in groundwater. Mining companies are often secretive about what chemicals they use.
Protection for sensitive waters

not protect most of the Great River Road in the county, nor other sensitive waters. The Great River Road follows Hwy 61, and is often more than a mile from the river. It is important for recreation and tourism. Hanni recommended instead a ban within 1,000 feet of all public waters. Since public waters have been defined by the state, this would be easy to define and enforce, she said. It would also protect almost all of the Great River Road. Rechtzigel said, So long as it only covers silica sand mining, not all mines. County Attorney Steve Betcher foresaw a succession of difficult, complex, technical decisions. The time to take a decision on these water corridors is now. Expert advice came from Beau Kennedy, of Goodhue County Soil and Water District, who noted that groundwater pollution is very hard to predict, and almost impossible to control. Both bans passed by a four to one vote. Commissioner Ted Seifert voted no, saying he hated too much regulation, and doubted

there would be much effect on tourism.

Staff to draft effective regulations

HAVE A BRIGHT SEASON!

Merry Christmas to all our customers and their families.

Finally came the subject of harsh penalties. Commissioners agreed with Betcher that this wording was not the best, and could even look as if the county was picking on a group of concerns. Board and staff were both unhappy with fines that huge mining companies could take in their stride while continuing to operate outside the ordinance as has reportedly happened at several locations in Wisconsin. Staff were directed to draft effective regulations.

Santa visits the library for story time

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA Santa Claus made another stop in the area when he visited the Zumbrota Public Library for story time on Monday evening, December 9. In addition to reading to the children and the adults accompanying them, Santa gave them an opportunity to tell him what they would like for Christmas. Childrens librarian Angie Gustafson read the book Little Santa as they waited for Santa. But the children were anxious, and sometimes turned around to be sure they didnt miss his arrival. Just as Gustafson finished the book, Santa arrived and made his way through the children towards the decorated tree. After greeting them, Santa said, You can come up one at a time to tell me what you want me to bring you for Christmas. Whisper it in my ear so no one else will hear. Sometimes Santa asked the adults questions, including, Who can attest that this child has been good this year? After the children had an opportunity to talk with Santa or sit on his lap, he read one of his favorite stories, The Night before Christmas. Then it was time for him to be on his way, and the children received a sticker from Elf Gustafson.

Additional holiday donation opportunities in the area

By Marilyn Anderson Since reporting several ways to donate or volunteer this holiday season in an article two weeks ago, additional information has been received about two programs.
Packing for the Weekend

As previously announced, the Bank of Zumbrota has cash donation boxes at each bank location for the Packing for the Weekend Program. Monetary donations can be dropped off through January 3, 2014. Through the program, Zumbrota-Mazeppa Schools sends child-friendly food home on the last day of the week in student

backpacks. This program is offered, without charge, to qualifying children. Martech Services Company in Mazeppa, in their efforts to help people in the local communities, has announced they will match the Packing for the Weekend funds collected in the Bank of Zumbrota donation boxes up to $2500. Last year marked the beginning of the backpack program. Donations totaled $3599 last holiday season. Donations made by check should be made to United Way of WGP

with ZM Packing in the memo line. (Packing for the Weekend is an extension of the United Way of Goodhue, Wabasha and Pierce Counties.)
Turkey Trot food shelf donations

The fourth annual Turkey Trot held Thanksgiving morning to benefit the Zumbrota Area Food Shelf exceeded event organizers expectations. According to Laurie Brengman, Almost 150 people with warm hearts came out on a chilly Thanksgiving morning to the Covered Bridge. Donations totaled $1245 and 388 pounds of

food! This was a significant increase from the 2012 event when 80 registered walkers, runners, bikers, trikers, and strollers turned out, and monetary donations of $665 and 314 pounds of food were collected. This year, the trotters enjoyed art work on the trail by Calen and Kacey Scholl. Gary Ofstie thanked the crowd for helping fill the shelves at the food shelf as the need continues to grow. Ofstie, local food shelf treasurer and board member, states money can be used to purchase food and items at a

very good price at Channel One. Channel One is a local food shelf and regional food bank serving southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin located in Rochester. Money is also used toward rent and utilities. In addition to the great result from the Turkey Trot, new groups, such as card clubs and birthday clubs, have recently begun donating to the food shelf. Some individuals have also begun donating monthly. The additional donations have somewhat eased his concerns about whether there would be enough money and food over the

holidays as needs and expenses have continued to grow. The generosity of people of the area just amazes me, Ofstie said. For those who were unable to attend the Turkey Trot, cash donations can be sent to: Zumbrota Area Food Shelf, PO Box 43, Zumbrota, MN 55992. Cash and food donations can also be dropped at the food shelf on the first Monday of the each month from 11 a.m. to noon. The Zumbrota Area Food Shelf is located at 242 Main Street with access from the back, via the alley between Main Street and West Avenue off 2nd Street.

WITH OUR GRATITUDE AT THE HOLIDAYS

In the spirit of the season, we'd like to give you our sincere best wishes for a season filled with faith, festivity and delight. For your goodwill, we are deeply thankful, and for your friendship, we are truly blessed.

We hope your Christmas is the most joyous and picturesque yet, celebrated with the love of good friends and family. Our best wishes and heartfelt thanks to all of you for your support.

Pine Island earns a pair of wins

By Faye Haugen PINE ISLAND The Pine Island boys basketball team earned back-to-back wins against Kasson-Mantorville and Kingsland for their first wins of the season. Pine Island will play at Lake City on Friday. Kasson-Mantorville The Panthers handed KassonMantorville their second loss of the season on Tuesday in Pine Island. Pine Island led 29-26 at the break, but the KoMets rallied to take the lead late in the game, 6260. Ben Warneke came through with a three-point basket with eight seconds to play to secure the Panthers first win of the year, 63-62. We played a very good first Kingsland In a high-scoring non-conference game against Kingsland in Pine Island on Thursday, the Panthers won their second straight game, 86-77. If you like to watch good defensive basketball, Pine Island was not the place to be on Thursday, remarked Coach McNamara. We shot 52% from the field and had five players in double figures led by Luke Thorntons 23 points and 15 rebounds. Luke Schmidt had his best game of the year with 11 points. The first half was back and forth, with neither team taking more than a five-point lead. Kingsland hit a three at the halftime buzzer to go up 40-39. The Panthers rallied in the second half to outscore the Knights 47-33, with many of those points coming at the free throw line where PI hit 24 of 34. Broc Finstuen was 8 of 8 at the free throw line, pointed out Coach McNamara. Besides Thorntons 23 points and Schmidts 11, Ben Warneke netted 19, Broc Finstuen had 16 and Jared Lohmeyer scored 11 points.

The Wildcats By Faye Haugen GOODHUE The Goodhue going their way early in Tuesdays got off to a 10-6 start, holding the Bears to a pair of three-point baskets. But things went down hill from theew. Byron went on a 17-0 scoring run to take a 23-10 lead before Goodhue made another basket. The Cats fought back to close the gap to 25-17 by the half, but they played from behind the rest of the contest. Goodhue did outscore the Bears 26-21 over the last 18 minutes, but it was not enough. Tyler Schumacher led Goodhue with 20 points. Riley Bollum added 11. Both teams liked the long range shot. Byron hit seven threes and Goodhue put in nine.

Hayfield Hayfield was one of the top picks to win the HVL Gold Division and be a force in the Section 1AA playoffs, and they proved why with a 72-68 upset over Goodhue on Friday in Goodhue. Although not very tall, the Vikes play great defense and can shoot the ball well. Hayfield led 39-38 at the half, and they outscored the Cats 33-30 in the second half to pull off the slight upset. Goodhue had great balance in their scoring. Mikayla Miller led the Cats with 27 points with Kali Ryan netting 15 and Michelle Hadler 13.

Kenyon-Wanamingo stays perfect at 8-0

By Faye Haugen KENYON The second-ranked Kenyon-Wanamingo girls basketball team added three more wins to their record to move to 8-0 on the season. The Knights had easy games against Bethlehem Academy and Stewartville, but they had to work harder against Hayfield. After Tuesdays game at Kasson, the Knights have nearly three weeks off before resuming their schedule on Monday, January 6 at New Richland. That match-up will pit the top and second-ranked Class AA teams in the state against each other. Bethlehem Academy The Knights had little trouble smothering Bethlehem Academy on Monday evening, whipping the Cardinals 79-33. All five KW starters scored in double figures led by Megan Quam and Siri Sviggum with 14 each, and 13 by Meg Clark, 12 from Brittney Flom and 11 from Audra Clark. The Knights jumped on the Cards in the first half, opening up a 5219 lead by the half. KW cruised through the second half, outscoring BA 27-14.

ZM wins one of two HVL games

By Faye Haugen ZUMBROTA With a win over Stewartville and a loss to upstart LaCrescent, the ZumbrotaMazeppa girls basketball team evened their record at 3-3. ZM will play at Byron on Friday. Stewartville A big second half lifted the Cougars to a 62-42 win at Stewartville, Tuesday. Tied at 27 at the half, ZM outscored Stewartville 35-15 over the last 18 minutes for the 20-point victory. After a close first half, it was nice to get an away conference victory, remarked Coach Scott Paukert. The second half we picked up our play considerably. Carley Henning did a nice job offensively in getting to the free throw line 11 times and hitting nine. Henning led ZM with 22 points. Tayler Mort netted 13 and Alyssa Quam chipped in 10.

LaCrescent For the past several years the LaCrescent girls basketball team has had a less than .500 winning average. But the Lancers are riding high so far this season with a 4-1 record. They added a 41-35 win over ZM in Zumbrota, Friday. We let this slip away, lamented Coach Paukert. In the second half we had too many fouls which led

to a lot of free throws which LaCrescent hit. It is difficult to win a game when your opponent makes 18 more free throws. Offensively, we struggled to get into any kind of flow throughout the game. ZM led 20-17 at the break, but they were outscored 24-15 in the second half. For the game, the Lancers hit 21 of 28 free throws compared to ZMs 3 of 7. Haily Dykes scored a team-high 13 points to lead ZM.

Free throws make the difference for PI

By Faye Haugen PINE ISLAND The Pine Island girls basketball team went to the free throw line just eight times in Tuesdays game with KassonMantorville. The Panthers hit just three of those shots. KM was a much stronger 13 of 18 at the line, and that made all the difference in the KoMets 65-54 win. KM jumped out to a 41-30 lead in the opening half. The Panthers were able to play the KoMets even in the second half, but they were unable to make up for their first half of play. Niki Fokken pumped in 22 points and Sam Heeren netted 20 to lead PI in scoring. The 61 Heeren hit five threes in the game.

Zumbrota-Mazeppa still looking for their first win

By Faye Haugen ZUMBROTA The first three weeks of the season have not been kind to the Zumbrota-Mazeppa boys basketball team. With losses to Stewartville and LaCrescent, ZM saw their record dip to 0-5. The Cougars will try to get that first victory when they host Goodhue on Friday night or at Faribault Bethlehem Academy on Monday evening. Stewartville Stewartville left Zumbrota on Tuesday with a 71-54 victory. Most of the statistics were very similar between the two teams. Both had 39 rebounds and ZM had two more turnovers than the Tigers 16. But the Cougars were 18 of 63 shooting from the field and Stewartville was 24 of 56. The Tigers also sank five threes to ZMs two. The Tigers led 39-21 after the first half, but ZM rallied to close the gap to 42-38 with the chance to make it a two-point game. But ZMs shot missed, Stewartville got the rebound and then scored to retake control of the game.

Visitors to the meeting included Dawn and Brandon Heim.

DNR suggests 10 ways to connect someone to the outdoors in 2014

THANK YOU for your support during the past year. We look forward to preserving our community's history in the future.
The holiday season is a great time to introduce a child or someone else to the physical and emotional benefits of the outdoors, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. A Minnesota state parks gift card offers an opportunity to inspire a love for the outdoors. The cards can be redeemed for vehicle permits, campsites, camper cabins, and rental equipment, such as snowshoes. They also can be redeemed for the apparel, outdoor-related books and other items sold at Minnesota state parks. To personalize the gift, here are some suggestions from the DNRs Parks and Trails Division: Browse the online calendar at www.mndnr.gov or the new programs and special events brochure to find a winter program, such as a digital photography workshop or a snowshoe hike. Pick a First Day Hike to take part in on Jan. 1 and resolve to get outdoors more in 2014. Experience the outdoors in a whole new light at one of this years candlelight ski, snowshoe or hike events. Make reservations at a camper cabin, and explore a new state park. Join the Hiking Club and arrange a time to hike a nearby trail together. Offer to rent a canoe or kayak and go paddling together this summer or fall. Go on a treasure hunt to find one of the geocaches hidden at Minnesota state parks as part of the Avian Adventure. Sign up for an overnight I Can Camp! program and master camping skills. Attend other skill-building programs, such as I Can Paddle! I Can Climb!, I Can Fish! or Archery in the Parks. Take advantage of the free fishing equipment for loan at many state parks, and wet a line together from a fishing pier. Gift cards are available at any park office that sells merchandise. Gift cards also can be purchased: In person at DNR Information Center, 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul. Online at www.mndnr.gov/reservations. Over the phone at 651-296-6157or toll-free 888-646-6367(weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). Minnesota state parks gift cards feature a photo of the states highest waterfall and come packaged in a folder with a full-color guide to Minnesota state parks and trails, a 2013-14 winter programs and special events brochure and other helpful trip-planning information.

By Faye Haugen ZUMBROTA There was plenty of loud music and screaming and shouting in Zumbrota on Saturday as 27 junior varsity and varsity dance teams took part in the Zumbrota-Mazeppa Dance Invitational in both jazz and high kick. Jazz Zumbrota-Mazeppa won the jazz title followed by St. Charles and Wabasha-Kellogg. We had a great showing for jazz. We went out and danced with emotion, said Coach Jen Stumm. The girls danced that routine the best they have up to this point, but we know we have work to do as it was our first competition. We did very well for our first competition. We had a lot of girls out at the last minute due to injuries, but we were able to adjust and have a successful competition, said senior choreographer and captain Lisa Ecker. High Kick Lake City won the high kick competition, with Randolph placing second and St. Charles third. Zumbrota-Mazeppa placed sev-

enth, Goodhue 10th, and KenyonWanamingo, 15th. We danced five girls short from what we had planned on and it was obvious. We need to get healthy, remarked Coach Stumm. We started out with more scores a little lower than we wanted, but it was expected

with the number of girls we were missing. Our formations were off. On the bright side, our routine has a ton of potential. We started off the season with our first eight. It took us until halfway through the season last year to do that, she pointed out. We are extremely proud of

how our team handles difficult obstacles and is still able to pull out a win. We need to continue working on kick, but I have no doubt we can improve, said Abby Hinchley. Anna Budensiek added, We are looking forward to being able to improve as a team.

Happy Holidays and heartfelt thanks for your patronage this year.

Goodhue approves 3rd Street improvement project for 2014

By Tara Chapa GOODHUE The Goodhue City Council approved a 2014 resolution for the 3rd Street improvement project on December 11. During the summer of 2013, the city identified a segment of 3rd Street as a priority for reconstruction in 2014. A portion of the street from 1st Avenue to 4th Avenue is also subject to evaluation as a candidate for reconstruction. Desired improvements include reconstruction of storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water-main utilities; repairs to the subsurface drainage; and reconstruction of the driving surface. I & S Engineering said typically projects are bid out in February, with construction beginning in late spring, depending on weather conditions. The report presented to council by I&S included nature reports, improvement alternatives, associated opinions of cost and potential construction difficulties. A letter will go out to all residents on 3rd Street when another public hearing will be held to give additional details on the project. Although final costs and assessments have not yet been determined, the estimated cost is $832,410. Owners of properties that touch the areas of the improvement project will be assessed 22.5% for an estimated $187,292.25. Each property owner is assessed based on the number of feet that their property runs along the street. City attorney Richard Gorman said that they would be broken up per block. Two sidewalk improvements will also be completed after the 3rd Street project.

Shawn and Mitsy Bjork, current owners of the Brickhouse Restaurant in Red Wing, asked the council for a loan to offset some of the initial costs associated with opening a new restaurant in Goodhue. Shawn said the initial costs have included inventory, set-up, upgrades to the building, and payroll costs. All of these need to be paid out before they make their first dollar profit. Although an exact dollar amount was not formally requested, Mitsy Bjork did mention $75,000. The Bjorks also said that a loan had been discussed a year ago when they came to the city and asked to open a restaurant in Goodhue. If a loan was approved by the council, it would come out of the Goodhue Economic Development Authority fund. Currently, the EDA fund has $110,742.91. Councilor Tia Schimek said that the city council is not in the finance business; however, the EDA is set up to help bring more businesses to Goodhue. The council was hesitant. Mayor Rich Bauer said they needed to discuss things further before approving. Councilor John Adams said he would with our

Wanamingo Schools combat hunger with backpack programs

By Alicia Hunt-Welch In 2012, it was estimated that one in five families with children in Minnesota face food insecurity. This means that those children do not always receive three meals a day or sometimes skip meals. More than one-third of the states school children qualify for free or reduced meals at school, based on their familys low or limited income. Three school districts in our area have established a program to combat childhood hunger when students are not at school. The food backpack program has taken off in many communities. In our area Kenyon-Wanamingo, Pine Island and Zumbrota-Mazeppa all participate in a program that sends food home in backpacks with children at risk of not getting enough food to eat in their homes.
Kenyon-Wanamingo

Staff at KW Elementary School estimated that 41% of their students live with food insecurity. To fight this problem, each week 48 backpacks are stocked with food and sent home with elementary students each Friday. The program was established last year with the help of the All-Seasons Food Shelf

in Kenyon. The program initially sent packs home with third and fourth grade students, but later expanded to help students in need from kindergarten through fourth grade. Families are eligible for the backpack program if they qualify for free and reduced meals at school. Kindergarten teacher Heidi Haugen said that when students are handed the backpacks at the end of each week she can see the excitement in their faces. The KW Elementary School backpack program is supported by the local food shelf, several churches and private donations. In November, KW staff, students, parents and community members worked together to conduct a fundraiser for the school backpack program. In addition, once a month the KW food backpacks come with one new book for the children to keep. These books are provided through First Book, a nonprofit project that has put more than 100 million books in the hands of children across the country. Those who attended a program fundraiser on November 2 learned more about the food backpack program and

the free book program. Jan Strand is a music teacher at KWES and is president of the Kenyon-Wanamingo Education Association. Strand said, Raising money to stock the backpacks and give away books is just one way were working to reclaim the promise of public education and fulfill our mission to help all children succeed. Families who did not register for the program during conferences before the school year may still do so by enrolling at the All-Seasons Food Shelf in Kenyon.
Pine Island

Pine Island school also supports a food backpack program for students in grades K-4. Cindy Hansen, principal of grades K-8, said the backpacks go home on Fridays. Currently the school sends home about 50 food backpacks and each pack serves one student. Hanson said each week the backpacks include items such as applesauce, nuts, microwavable food cups, and juice boxes, in addition to fresh bread and fruit every other week. Crosswinds Church in Oronoco donates the food and backpacks for the Pine Island program. This is the third year Pine Island Schools

has offered the service. Hansen those who benefit from the prosaid, Parent feedback has been gram. appreciative. For more information on how Zumbrota-Mazeppa to support the food backpack proZM Schools began the food gram in your area, contact your backpack program in February local school district for ideas and 2013. The school currently sends direction. out 21 backpacks each Friday (or the last day of school in the week). Those backpacks provide food for 59 kids in the district.

ZMs program is supported through donations from businesses, groups and individuals within the community. Packing for the Weekend is a program through the United Way. School social worker Britney Meyers said, They provide the menus each month and keep an account for our donated money. We order the food from Channel 11237 County 11 Blvd. One. We pay for the food out of Wanamingo, MN 55983 our ZM account through United 1-800-657-0169 Way. The Zumbrota Area Food Shelf supplies ZM with the space to store and pack the food. Volunteers pack the bags and deliver them to the school each week. Meyers said a lot of appreciation and thanks has been expressed from

Wanamingo approves budgets and levy for 2014

By Alicia Hunt-Welch WANAMINGO The Wanamingo City Council held a public hearing on December 9 to discuss the city budget and property tax levy for 2014. After months of reviewing proposed amounts, the final budget for 2014 was approved. The general fund budget was set at $659,916. A motion by Jamie Majerus to approve next years budget carried 5-0. The city will certify a $575,000 tax levy to the county auditor for 2014. This amount has remained the same during the last two years. DSF 329 for lease purchase of City Hall: $17,500 A motion by Danny Benson to approve the final tax levy carried 5-0.
Fire department budget

The 2014 Wanamingo Fire Department budget in the amount of $146,694 was also approved by the council. This amount is up 1.2% from the 2013 budget. Since approved by the council, the fire department budget breakdown will be sent to township boards for approval of their allotment based off a tax capacity and percentage of area served formula.

work on the city shop. A switch is needed for a blower at the wastewater treatment plant, and a heater went out at the city shop. The 2014 first quarter maintenance work plan for city staff was reviewed and approved by the council. During the winter, time is scheduled every day for snow removal; all other work is scheduled around this task. City Administrator Michael Boulton said pool manager Brandi Kyllo submitted a letter announcing her intent to resign. Boulton said the letter was received just prior to the meeting so official action will be taken in January. At that time the council will address the process for rehiring for that position. It was noted that Kyllo had expressed interest with continuing to teach swimming lessons in the future.
Permits and licenses approved

on-sale liquor sales was approved for Merlin Ring of Ringos. A license for cigarette and off-sale liquor sales was approved for Hometown Wine & Spirits. Boulton noted that all license fees and state approval must be received before the actual license for each is issued.
Other business

Proposed new recycling fee of $1.25/month. A recycling fee does not incur state solid waste tax, whereas an increase to the garbage fee would also increase expenses for this tax. Proposed new fees were set for the use of the sewer jetter ($75/

hour), 60 KW generator ($55/hr), 40 kw generator ($50/hr), and 4inch wastewater pump ($35/hr). This was the first reading of the change to the fee schedule. Final approval of fees will be considered at the January 2014 council meeting.

Building permits were approved for Jason Raths for garage/storage, and Adam Schuster for a woodburning furnace. A license for the sale of cigarettes was approved for Cenex. A license for cigarettes, on-sale liquor, off-sale liquor, and Sunday

The council authorized Smith Schafer & Associates, LTD to conduct the 2013 city audit. The cost of services is not to exceed $18,850. The agreement with Goodhue County Land Use Management to provide building inspection services for the city was renewed. The city has utilized a one-year agreement with the agency since 2011. The service does not cost the city. The costs for inspection services is included in each building permit fee. The council carried a resolution requesting Goodhue County not include Wanamingo as a designated absentee balloting location. Absentee ballots are available through the county. Proposed changes to city fees were considered by the council. Proposed changes for 2014 include: Water meter fee increase to $260 (now $250). Debt service water increase to $22/month (now $20/mo.). This is in preparation for maintenance and repair work on the water tower. Debt service sewer decrease to $15/month (now $16.50/mo.). Garbage decrease to $12.50/ month (now $13/mo.)

Planting the Word of God

By Art Olson Family Worship Church In James 1:22, the Word of God says that you can deceive yourself if you are a hearer of the Word and not a doer of the Word. The scriptures say that if you do not put into practice what you hear you will forget what the Word declares about you, what kind of person you are. So, how do you become a doer of the Word? The answer to that question becomes clear when you compare natural seed with spiritual seed as described in the parable of the sower. (Mark 4:3-20) The ground of the earth is the soil for planting natural seeds, and likewise, the human heart is the spiritual soil for planting the divine seed, the Word of God. How do you plant the Word of God in your heart? In Romans 10:9, it says, If you confess the Lord Jesus and bethians 15-16; Wednesday, 7 p.m., Prayer and healing.

lieve in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. What comes first, confessing or believing? It is confessing the word of God. When you confess a Bible scripture you are planting that scripture into your heart. It is impossible for a natural seed to grow into a plant without first planting it. In the same way, you cannot partake of a divine truth until it is planted in your heart. You plant a Bible scripture in your heart by speaking it out loud to yourself, i.e., confessing with your mouth a verse of scripture which causes faith to increase in your heart. You must continue to speak the Word day and night and meditate on it in order to make your way prosperous and have good success.

and I were ministering to a man who had been heavily involved with drugs and alcohol. He told us that he had fried his brain with drugs and was not able to concentrate anymore. We gave him a Gideon New Testament and told him to read it out loud to himself every day. We did not see him again, because he was transferred to another institution in the Twin Cities. About a year later, he returned to Red Wing and gave a testimony that he read the Gideon New Testament (out loud) every day. He said that God restored his brain and gave him a photographic imprint of the New Testament, so that he could quote every verse from memory. This is an example of a doer of the word. Psalm 107:20 says, He sent his Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Ron Lenoch named Teacher of the Year at Pine Island School
By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND Third grade teacher Ron Lenoch was named 2014 Teacher of the Year by the Pine Island Education Association on Thursday, November 14, at a presentation held at the Pine Island American Legion. Shari Ellingson said at the ceremony, Ron has been described as an active team player, generous, and easy goingnever crabby. He has a sense of humor and treats his students with respect. Ron reflects on lessons, committees, and parent concerns with detail and insight. Lenoch began his teaching career in Zumbrota in 1977 after graduating from Winona State University in the spring. He remembers that Carl Potratz (athletic director) and Virgil Green (principal) were really impressed with the borrowed suit that he wore for the interview. After one year in Zumbrota, Lenoch followed his wife Lisa to Salt Lake City, Utah, and taught school there for 11 years. In 1990, he began teaching in Pine Island. Lenoch taught fourth grade every year up through 2009, and since then he has been teaching third grade. It is hard to believe that this is my 36th year in the profession, Lenoch said. In 1998, Lenoch received his master of science degree in education from Winona State University. He has served as Chair of the Continuing Education Committee since 2001. In addition to teaching, he has coached junior varsity baseball for 13 years and varsity softball for ten years. He also currently serves as treasurer of the local Ducks Unlimited Committee. Lenoch said, I have always been proud to inform people that I teach in the Pine Island District. The administration has been very supportive, and the staff is caring and dedicated. I have been fortunate to teach with some outstanding professionals. Any success I have had in the classroom is due to the collaborative effort of the people we have here in the district. It takes a community effort to teach a child, and I think it begins by building successful relationships with school personnel, parents, and
