Char Henn named 2013 Citizen of the Year

By Marilyn Anderson RED WING Char Henn was expecting to meet her friend Lil Converse for lunch at Fiesta Mexicana in Red Wing on Friday, January 10, just as they do every month. When she arrived at the table, however, Converse was seated among a large group. It was then that Anne Jacobson, editor of the Red Wing Republican Eagle, announced, The Goodhue County Citizen of the Year has arrived for her lunch! Editorial Association President Peter Grimsrud, publisher of the News-Record, presented the award to Char Henn. From 1991 until the summer of 2013, Henn served in a variety of capacities with the Goodhue County Historical Society, and she was director of the museum for more than a dozen years. The award was for Henns work as the steward for county history, fulfilling the mission of collecting, preserving, and promoting the natural and cultural history of Goodhue County through education and outreach. Later in the midday event, Jacobson, who is also the secretary of the Editors Association, recalled the past summer when Henn and the Goodhue County Historical Society parted ways. As was quoted in the paper at the time, you said, Its time. Now its time for the Goodhue County Editorial Association to thank you, Char.
Henns background

Henn has spent the majority of her life in the Red Wing area. After graduating from high school in Ellsworth, Wisconsin, she received her B.A. in history with a minor in English from Gustavus Adolphus College. After graduating in 1991 from the Northern Illinois University masters program in history and historical administration, with specialties in womens history and colonial/early republic history, Henn thought she would be going east based on the degree and her interests. However, after returning to Minnesota for the summer, she soon found she didnt have to search far after all.
Steward of Goodhue County history

Not long after her return to the area, Henn accepted a job as Goodhue County Historical Society archivist. Jacobson explained the important role of the archivist in caring for local permanent

records and historically valuable documents and information. Within a relatively short time, Henn advanced to become the curator, including working with the museums cultural specimens, a role she held from 1993-99. She was asked to step in as interim director in 1999 while the Society Board conducted a search for an ongoing director. After an extensive search, the board formally selected Henn as director in 2000. Meeting with the historical societies throughout the county, traveling to sites for digs, and a variety of permanent and temporary exhibits at the history center were just some of the activities that kept Henn busy. She also gave many presentations, some rather unusual with her background in womens history, the history of womens underwear was a successful fit that Henn presented to numerous groups across the county. The subject of how the fashion of womens undergarments evolved with social and political changes proved to be a popular as well as an interesting subject. Several other programs, exhibits, and projects initiated during her tenure as director include: The museum launched its township exhibit series in 2005. A different township has been featured every six months at the history center. The ghost town signs went up across the county. Through the years, sixty-five post offices have existed in Goodhue County. In order to preserve their history and to recognize their historical contribution, signs at the location of each of these former or currently existing post office sites have been installed. National exhibits were brought to Goodhue County, including notable Smithsonian programs. Henn worked closely with the community historical organizations. Many of these were organized during the time she served as county director. Organizations in Goodhue County include the Cannon Falls Area Historical Society, the Florence Town Hall and its Heritage Preservation Commission, the Goodhue Area Historical Society, the Kenyon Area Historical Society, the Pine Island Area

Historical Society, the Vasa Museum, the Wanamingo Historical Society, and the Zumbrota Area Historical Society. The Goodhue County Passport project of the past two summers took holders to each of the museums. It was an example of the cooperative efforts during her time at the county museum.
Im nosy

In explaining her passion for her work, Henn said, Im nosy and want to know why things happened. She went on to say she looks toward the future as well as to why something happened. When asked what she was most proud of during her time with the Historical Society, she was quick to point to others. It was not just done by me. It was really a familial atmosphere. She also referred to the involvement from the areas outside of Red Wing and throughout the county. When asked if she had a favorite exhibit, she said, That would be like picking a favorite child! When pushed further for a response, she did admit she really enjoyed the township exhibits. Henn said she has always been fascinated withWow! and Aha! moments in her job, such as using clues to determine the exact location of the first Hamline University building in Red Wing. Another example involved a murder that had occurred in the county decades ago and realizing the killer was buried near her grandparents. Technology has changed things in her time. She said, We are not documenting the way we used to, and we throw away. With storage space an issue, and technology changing, the importance of maintaining materials in an eyereadable format is key.
Comments

Char Henn was named the Goodhue County Editorial Association Citizen of the Year on Friday, January 10, at a luncheon in Red Wing. The award is presented to her by Editorial Association President Peter Grimsrud, publisher of the News-Record.

Henns parents, Lora and Harold Henn, as well as her three sisters and two brothers-in-law, Dena and Jon Swanson, Beth Henn, and Ruth and Mike Kuehni, were all present for the recognition event. Having a wife and four daughters, Harold said he didnt get to speak often, but now had an opportunity. He said he was very proud of Char and that it was a pleasure to see what she has done. Lora was equally proud of her daughter, and mentioned a few

Goodhue County historical items of interest. One was the diary of a Belvidere farmer, Lewis Johnson, which tells of his activities of every day from the 1860s to 1935. The diary is currently being transcribed. James Edlund, member of the Goodhue County Historical Society (and past board member) and past member of the Editorial Association, commented on the group that was gathered to honor Henn. Referring to the Editorial Association members and reporters assembled and Henns passion, he said, We all tell stories and are all nosy. Edlund said the Goodhue County Historical Society was Minnesotas oldest, chartered in 1869. He spoke of Henns tenure at the History Center, coming on board and spending time going out throughout the county with a vision of the county without any borders. Having served as treasurer on the board, Edlund also commented on Henns successful management of finances and endowments. Edlund had checked recent census information and found the current estimate for Goodhue County to be approximately 48,000 people. He said, For Citizen of the Year, one person is picked.

Two dead in murder-suicide in Oronoco

By Alicia Hunt-Welch As the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension continues to investigate a shooting involving two individuals on Monday, January 6, the Olmsted County Sheriffs Office says it has enough evidence to support that a 19-yearold rural Pine Island man shot his friend before turning the handgun on himself. At about 4:30 p.m. on January 6, authorities responded to a medical call at 6948 100th Street in New Haven Township, southwest of Oronoco, after a family member went out to a heated pole shed on the farm and discovered the tragic scene. Law enforcement arrived to find the two victims in the shed. The sheriffs office identified the victims as Kayla Jill Koranda, 18, of Rochester, and Nicholas Bryan Roecker, 19, of rural Pine Island. Koranda died at the scene. Roecker was taken to St. Marys Hospital in Rochester where he died a short time later. The Pine Island Fire Department and First Responders arrived at the scene but were rendered inactive, as the area was quickly secured as a crime scene. On Tuesday autopsies were performed and the shootings were ruled a murder-suicide. Sheriff Dave Mueller said investigators believe Roecker shot Koranda. Information from the families indicates that Roecker may have been dealing with depression or other mental health issues. This may have been a reason Koranda went to see him that day. Mueller said the incident was a terrible tragedy for all members of these families. Koranda and Roecker both graduated from Rochester Lourdes High School in 2013. Koranda attended the University of Minnesota-Minneapolis. Roecker attended the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Lourdes High School released a statement sharing their condolences and offering support to students who may need it.

Contempt for the Thin Blue Line

Write Here Right Now
By Bob Schmidt

Since 1971, there have been 21,586 known line of duty deaths of law enforcement officers in the United States, including 232 from Minnesota, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP): http://www.odmp.org/ search/browse. One of these deaths was a Philadelphia officer named Daniel Faulkner, who was killed on December 9, 1981 by former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal. For a detailed reading of the incident and subsequent sentencing of Abu-Jamal, refer to the cited ODMP home web page. In her usual superb journalism fashion, Katie Pavlich broke the story last week in Townhall.com that President Obama has nominated the court defender of AbuJamal to head the Department of Justice Civil Rights department. So what, you say? Everyone has a right to counsel, and he should

avail himself of the best that he can get. Well, there is more to the story. Abu-Jamal was convicted in 1982 and sentenced to die for his crime. His defense attorney, Debo P. Adegbile, has worked continuously since then to first reduce the sentence to life in prison (successfully), and then to overturn the conviction (so far unsuccessfully). Abu-Jamals conviction has been reaffirmed on numerous occasions, but that is not enough for Adegbile. If the nomination is successful, what do you suppose will be the likelihood that he will once again open a civil rights case to free cop killer AbuJamal. It may sound a bit cynical, but I for one believe that that is the driving reason behind this nomination by Obama. This Department of Justice under Obama is totally corrupt. It dropped the charges of voter intimidation by two of the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia in 2008, it is thumbing its nose at the recent Supreme Court decision which struck down portions of the Voting Rights Act, its been stonewalling the efforts to get to the bottom of the Fast and Furious

scandal, and it lied about phone taps of and e-mail thefts from a Fox News reporter. Those are just for starters. Attorney General Eric Holder is a radical, with evidence of racist tendencies. He has provided good cover for Obamas radical policies over the years, but this nomination is way over the top. In response to the nomination, the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) sent Obama a letter which stated, ... This nomination can be interpreted in only one way; it is a thumb in the eye of our nations law enforcement. It demonstrates a total lack of regard or empathy for those who strive to keep you and everyone else in our nation safe in your home and neighborhoods sometimes giving their lives in the effort... Ive been suspicious of the respect that President Obama feels for the police officers since he shot off his mouth following the infamous Henry Gates/Sgt. Crowley incident in Cambridge, MA, in 2009. I never thought he would stoop to outright public contempt for the Thin Blue Line, however. Sadly, this nomination proved me wrong. God bless America!

Representative Steve Drazkowski uses fear-mongering and half-truths

To the Editor: There has been an editorial and several emails from Steve Drazkowski before the last Novembers school referendum elections. With the 2014 Legislative session just around the corner I would like to look at some of those areas he has decided to express to the public. The following was taken from a link on Steves website and editorial. A few education points worth noting from the capitol: Steve states they (Democrats) ignored the responsibility of paying off borrowed school dollars, wiped out classroom accountability measures, and increased the funding disparity between metro and rural school leaving our kids in the dust. Here is the problem with the statement: yes, the state still currently owes school districts approximately 8% or $230 million of the $2.8 billion it borrowed unfairly from the school districts back under Republican controlled, State Senate 37 R-30 D and House 72R62D. When the Republicans had control for two years, 2011-2012, they didnt make significant changes to narrowing the gap between metro and rural school districts. In fact, funding last session 2013 gave extra funding to seven county metro schools or school districts with 2,000 or more students. Can any of you remember Steve Drazkowski fighting tooth and nail against this funding or to include his districts? Accountability? No child left behind (NCLB) has done very little for education and MCAs have many teachers teaching to the test instead of teaching the subject. Why cant we empower a good share of the accountability to the local school districts? For a conservative who touts rural values, an example local authority, Steve sure likes the big government of the State of Minnesota. Steve sure wants to point out how much the State of Minnesota is giving local districts, a partial fallacy. Many dollars are given to school districts for state mandates that we have to do per Minnesota Department of Education. This last year 2013 legislators talked about the BIG money they gave school districts but approximately onethird of that BIG money was earmarked. Another quote from Steve in the past six months: No Vote Required for School Levy - Under this provision, a school board can approve $300 per pupil in a local school levy, without asking the voters first. The right of property owners to vote on these school referendums has been taken away. This is a dramatic departure from current law requiring all local school levies to be approved or reauthorized by voters. This unprecedented taxing power granted to school boards could result in dramatic property tax increases for farmers across the state. Lets look at the first part of that statement, Under this provision, a school board can approve $300 per pupil in a local school levy, without asking the voters. The right of property owners to vote on these school referendums has been taken away. This statement is fear mongering and clearly a half-truth. The legislature in HF6777 only gives school boards who have no levies to levy $300 of new money. However, in Drazkowskis district 99% have levies and the new money does not hold true. Steves school districts receive a one-time chance to transfer $300 per pupil of already voter-approved referendum money to a new levying line on the tax rolls. This ALREADY levied approved amount has to be approved by the local school board members to move funds to this levying line who you as taxpayers have voted in. School boards must at a public meeting vote on this $300 per pupil change and its renewal every five years also at a public meeting. Much like Steve Drazkowski does at the legislature representing us in making his decision to vote for or against taxing. There is no direct voter say or referendum. Further, looking at the second part of Steves quote, The No Vote Required for School levy propaganda then goes on to state, this unprecedented taxing power granted to school boards could result in dramatic property tax increases for farmers across the state. This statement should be on a gravity wagon and put out on the fields. Wow, this unprecedented taxing power granted to school boards is not a new thing. Districts can levy now without a direct vote for special items and circumstances; health and safety levy is one example. Cities and counties have had this right for years. We unfortunately do not see cities and counties having to do referendums, nor do we see the State of Minnesota needing taxing referendum approval from the voters. I find it shameful and appalling that Drazkowski would use this fear-mongering and half-truths in his website and literature. Steve stoops low when he tries to scare local farmers about local school boards levying, pitting them against each other. Finally, I find it interesting that our Republican Representative Steve Drazkowski who preaches rural values has a hard time with our local school boards, made up of friends and neighbors making decisions for our local districts.

We have some ideas that may help the general population in the tri-county area. The Pine Island area covers Dodge, Goodhue, and Olmsted counties with a lot of rural homes tucked in. As we get older, we have reassessed the risk of rural living. This last attack of cold weather reactivated our assessment. The first big thought involves those who like to ride snowmobiles. Organize the local snowmobilers with the mission of checking on the rural homes and the people in them. Consider the loss of electric power or for that matter any utility, and the effect

on an elderly family of one or two. We have the 911 network, but what if a person cant get to a phone, and cell phones may not detect a tower within range. When the phone is dead, they are out-oftouch with the world. The search and rescue club could roam the area checking on residents (especially older ones) who may need help or assistance. The club could be tied in with the First Responders. Roads may not be passable or maintained. Snowmobiles may be the quickest way in and out. Maybe its time to bring back the block party as a way to meet and become friends with your neighbors. It is hard to organize a block party when the block is 25 square miles or more. We just need someone to try. Of course these ideas cost money. But we need someone to estimate the cost of these ideas and then ask for the money. All

too often, weve seen an idea spring forth with no concept of costs just to get some money set aside in some budget to get started. Then real cost estimate comes in and the number is several times the seed money. It may still get funded. Finally the project is actually started and the estimate was low. Now we start a spiral of delays in order to meet the actual costs. The first idea requires an organizer and a way to pay for gasoline. We may need two-way radios or strong cell phones. The second idea could be started with bring your own dish. The organizer keeps track of who brings what. Maybe a small fee is paid to cover the cost of drinks. What ideas do you have? How involved are your ideas? Do you want to try it? Or do you want someone else to do the work? Until next week.

Its time to correct MNSures failures

Capitol Comments
By Steve Drazkowski MN Rep. District 21B

Three months ago, I shared my concerns about MNSure Minnesotas version of Obamacare. I predicted the problems Minnesotans would see, including higher health insurance prices, unsatisfactory policy options, loss of control of their healthcare decisionmaking, and the real threat that their private data could be in jeopardy. Quit trying to scare people, I was told. Governor Dayton recently told the media that all the problems surrounding MNSure keep him awake at night. Dayton shouldnt be sleeping when you consider the rash of website crashes and extraordinarily long waits Minnesotans are having while trying to talk to an actual human being about acquiring health insurance. Minnesotans are waking up to the reality that theres no such thing as free healthcare, and their government has once again misled them into believing that it can do something better than the free market when in fact, it cannot. First, there are payment information struggles. While people are led to believe they have completed a health insurance transaction through MNSure, many have received no confirmation as to whether they actually have coverage, because the information sent to insurance companies by MNSure is incomplete or inaccurate. Then theres the cost issue. We are wasting taxpayer resources to create and unsuccessfully market a government-run health insurance program that features higher rates than are currently available in the private marketplace. And theyre

trying to tell us MNsure will save people money? And do you remember the if you like your plan, you can keep it untruth from President Obama? Another promise made, promise broken. Even under Minnesotas version of Obamacare, people are being told they cannot keep their previous health plan, and in many cases theyre paying more for the privilege of owning a health insurance policy they didnt want. Finally, there are MNSures security problems. Recent news reports highlighted Internet security experts identifying flaws in MNSures website that could compromise peoples sensitive personal information. Im not opposed to affordable healthcare but I am opposed to the way Minnesota approached it. Remember, state bureaucrats already blew $155 million of your money on this failed program and they will continue squandering roughly $70 million every year in the future and have nothing but chaos to show for it. If were serious about affordable healthcare, its time to change direction. Attempting to abandon the free market was an awful mistake. We need to stop the march toward government takeover and turn directly to supporting individual healthcare, freedom, and choice. Start by allowing insurance companies from other states to compete for your business. More competition will increase healthcare quality and decrease your health insurance expenses. Next, lets bring tort reform forward and work to reduce the exorbitant financial liabilities being placed upon doctors a move which will also lower costs. How about reforming the dozens of mandates requiring us to purchase coverage for conditions well never have? For instance,

Minnesota law requires men to purchase pregnancy coverage. This must be governments idea of low cost and common sense. By removing the shackles of government controls from the private health insurance marketplace, coverage can be offered without an enormous government subsidy. Minnesota must also move towards public policy that makes it more attractive for citizens to develop and utilize their own health savings accounts. Not only would this encourage personal responsibility, it would also maintain personal choice both in selecting an affordable health care plan and keeping a doctor you trust. Imagine a world where people regain control of their own healthcare coverage and arent forced to accept lies from an overbearing and paternalistic government. We can radically improve this health insurance debacle by reestablishing our freedom to choose. Or we can continue to follow empty promises and deceitful propaganda from the Democratic-led government. This healthcare fiasco is inexcusable. The lawmakers who promised, imposed on and deceived the people are responsible for the predicted failures. We warned them, but they refused to listen. Were past the point of simply showing concern about this programs non-performance because the rubber has already hit the road. At some point, lawmakers and bureaucrats need to stop holding their noses, hoping this MNSure mess will rectify itself. February 25, the first day of the 2014 legislative session, would be a good day to start. I will be there fighting to help us rediscover the freedom of the marketplace. We can navigate toward common sense solutions that focus on the power and choices of people and end the empty promises of a failing and misdirected government.

Frac sand summit is the chance to stand up for rural communities

To the Editor: On January 18, I will be at the Land Stewardship Project Citizens Frac Sand Summit in Winona. The summit, which is from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Tau Center, will bring citizens together to build knowlege to keep frac sand mining from destroying our communities. I urge everyone concerned about the threat of frac sand mining to join me. Through connecting with others, we can have a positive impact on protecting our community assets and our social, economic and natural environments. When I look across the Mississippi River to Wisconsin I see the harm that frac sand mining brings to rural communities. The model of this industry is to profit at the expense of local communities. It destroys our farmland, pollutes our air and water, and destroys our roads, all while sending much of the profit to out-of-state investors. We have to stand up to this industry and keep it from destroying the successful economy that we have built in our region. Two of our most important economic drivers, agriculture and tourism, are simply not compatible with industrial scale, round-the-clock strip mining, processing or transporting. At the summit, two experts will be presenting on the critical issue of air pollution from silica dust. Long term exposure to silica can cause silicosis, an incurable and fatal disease. Dr. Michael McCawley of the School of Public

Health at West Virginia University is a nationally recognized expert on ambient air quality monitoring and assessing risk to human health. Dr. Crispin Pierce is Director of the Environmental Public Health Program at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and is doing particulate and silica health research related to frac sand mining, processing and transportation. I have been fortunate to hear both men speak before and they have a lot of great information to share. I invite you to go to the Land Stewardship Projects website at http://www.landstew ardshipproject.org for all the details and to register or call them at 612-722-6377. Lynn Schoen Wabasha

ZM SCHOOL BOARD UPDATE

Going into 2014, the ZumbrotaMazeppa School Board is going to have a busy month. On January 6, we had our annual organizational meeting in Mazeppa. Then, on January 13 some of our members were involved with the ZM Schools Strategic Planning meeting. And from January 15-17 well be attending the Minnesota School Board Convention in the Twin Cities. Throughout the month well have three of our members continuing the negotiating process with the ZM faculty, and on January 27 well have our regular board meeting in Mazeppa starting at 7 p.m. State Representative Steve Drazkowski is scheduled to be in attendance at our meeting in order to give an update on the priorities of the 2014 Minnesota State Legislature. During the course of the year the schools website will feature various stories about what is going on in our school district. The site is www.zmschools.us. The board applauds the efforts of our faculty and students to bridge the connection between our school and communities. Prior to the Christmas break we saw great examples ranging from the FFAs annual fruit drive, third-graders raising money for the Ronald McDonald House, and patrons who work for IBM helping our students at the Lego Robotics Competition. All are proof that quality education goes beyond what happens in the classrooms. Were looking forward to the remainder of the school year and will continue to provide occasional updates. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you have about our school district.

Love Potion #10 musical features songs from rock n rolls golden age
ZUMBROTA Love Potion #10 tells the story of six days in 1964 at a small-town high school, through the eyes and ears of the popular local AM radio disc jockey. The story lends itself to the doowop, rockabilly and rock and roll gold of the 50s and 60s, while offering plenty of comedy, intrigue and romance to boot. Performed by The Whitesidewalls and Michael Patrick Records Ryan as himself, Crossings brings the musical to the State Theatre on Saturday, January 25, at 7:30 p.m. Both Ryan and The Whitesidewalls Rock n Roll Revue are fixture in the Twin Cities music scene. While Ryan pursues the girl of his dreams during a 40-year class reunion of the Northeast Southwestern High School, The Whitesidewalls Rock n Roll Revue touch all the bases on a run through the great music of 19541964. Audiences will hear Rock Around the Clock, popularized by Bill Haley and His Comets, Great Balls of Fire, made a hit by Jerry Lee Lewis and Chantilly Lace, co-written and sung by The Big Bopper. Theres plenty more where those came from! The Whitesidewalls first formed in 1971 and played for many years they played a series of full summer shows at Valleyfair amusement park in Shakopee for ten years, and in 1985 were named the Minnesota Ballroom Operators Associations Act of the Year. Then, they disbanded for

By Faye Haugen PINE ISLAND The Pine Island gymnastics team came up short on Friday, but won big on Saturday in a pair of Southeast Gymnastics Conference meets in Pine Island. Byron/Lourdes kept first place to themselves, handing PI their first dual loss in conference action. The Panthers bounced back to crush Stewartville/Kasson-Mantorville. The Panthers will compete at Caledonia on Thursday, beginning at 6 p.m. Byron/Lourdes Byron/Lourdes edged the Panthers 132.10-129.1 in action on Friday. Falls off the beam and on the floor cost the Panthers in the end. Vault went really well for us with a team score of 34.775 which is a season high. Allie Anderson had a personal best score of 8.15. Bars were okay and Robin Talbot had a personal best of 6.80. But we continue to have problems with the beam,. We had to count five falls again and many missed connections. And, floor didnt go as we had hoped. We had three falls, lamented Coach Chris Templeton. But Brittany Rud was able to score a personal best on the floor of 7.65 and Brook Schaefer had a personal best in all around. Siera McNallan placed first in the vault, bars, beam and all around and was second on the floor. Stewartville/KM The Panthers put up their highest score of the season with a 131.90-128.21 win over Stewartville/Kasson-Mantorville on Saturday in Pine Island. Finally the girls were able to put all four events together. Vault wasnt as good as the night before, but close. The team scored season highs on the bars, beam and floor. Beam went much better as we only had two falls today, pointed out Coach Templeton, who added, This is the first time this season that weve had four girls score 8.00 or better on the beam, in the same meet. The girls looked more comfortable today with their skills. We still have some cleaning up to do, as well as adding more difficulty and consistency. This team is very capable of scoring 135 for better. Siera McNallan swept the meet winning every event. Brooke Schaefer was second on the floor and all around and third on the vault, bars and beam. Katie Schultz was second on the beam and Allie Anderson was third on the beam. Setting personal bests on Sat-

KW falls to top-ranked NRHEG

By Faye Haugen KENYON The KenyonWanamingo girls basketball team saw their nine-game winning streak come to an end when they fell 6760 to top-ranked New RichlandHartland-Ellendale-Geneva on Thursday in a rescheduled game (due to the cold) from Monday. The second-ranked Knights gave the undefeated Panthers (10-0) a scare before a capacity crowd in New Richland. The Knights trailed 29-20 at the half, but they made a run at the Panthers in the second half, closing the gap to 39-37 and 42-40 with nearly eight minutes remaining in the contest. But a 12-2 run by NRHEG opened up a 56-45 lead that the Knights were unable to recover from with 4:30 to play. The Knights turned the ball over a season-high 27 times, and they did not shoot well from the freethrow line, hitting just 9 of 23. But there was good news, as the Knights are the first team to hold NRHEG to under 70 points this season. The Panthers came into game the averaging 86.1 points per game. All State guard Carlie Wagner led NRHEG with 28 points. The Knights had much better scoring balance with Siri Sviggum netting 18, Audra Clark 15, Brittney Flom 14 and Meg Clark 12.

ZM comes up short in two games

By Faye Haugen ZUMBROTA The ZumbrotaMazeppa girls basketball team had a tough week, dropping a pair of games to two very good teams. ZM fell to eighth-ranked Class AA Dover-Eyota in non-conference action on Tuesday. Kasson-Mantorville, first in the HVL Gold Division standings, won in Zumbrota on Friday. The Cougars will try to put an end to their four-game losing skid when they host Lake City on Thursday and Goodhue on Tuesday. ZM is 3-6 overall. Dover-Eyota With Tuesdays game with Triton rescheduled due to weather conditions, it had been 18 days since the Cougars had stepped on the court to play a game. After the long break, we did some positive things. We handled DEs press very well, and Molly Lawlerss excellent passing led to several easy baskets as we were being pressed full court, said Coach Paukert. Emma Drackley played well and gave us some scoring off the bench. The Eagles took a 34-21 lead by the half and they outscored ZM 31-24 in the second half. No ZM player reached double figures in scoring. Alyssa Quam scored nine points to lead the Cougars.

day. The KoMets (11-3) used their pressure defense and size to outscore ZM 26-18 in the first half and 34-16 in the second half. We played fairly well in the first half, but we had nothing left after the half, lamented Coach Paukert. Our defensive rebounding needs to improve as we gave up several put-back baskets. For the second straight game, no player scored in double figures. Molly Lawler and Taylor Mort led ZM with eight points each.

By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND Eclectic, a gallery of fine arts and crafts, opened its doors at 222 South Main Street in Pine Island on December 14, 2013. The gallery offers a variety of unique, upscale, handcrafted items that are American made, including many collections from local artists and crafters. Owners of Eclectic, Susan and Mark Helms, recently moved from Colorado to open their new business in Pine Island. Opening an arts and crafts gallery has been a longtime dream of the couple who chose to settle in rural Pine Island after finding the small town community a perfect fit for their needs. The desire to be closer to family living near Northfield was the main reason that brought the Helms to southern Minnesota. Susan, who is an art teacher and self-taught crafter, said, We love it here, it reminds us of home. We are so excited to be part of the Pine Island community and were looking forward to meeting more of the local people and getting involved in the community as much

Scouts meet with mayor and city administrator

WANAMINGO Webelos Scouts from Pack 76 of Wanamingo traveled to city hall on December 18 to meet Mayor Ryan Holmes and City Administrator Michael Boulton. The visit was just one of the many requirements to earn their Citizenship pin. Holmes talked about the duties and responsibilities he has as mayor, and explained the process of being elected. Pack Cubmaster Eric Dierks said, Michael and Ryan talked about how improvement projects are discussed at the meetings and implemented. The scouts also learned about the municipal water and sewer systems. From left to right, front row: Kiernan McGuire, Jon Voegele, Layne Groth, Evan Lewis, Colin McGuire, and Trevor Steberg; back row: Scout leader and city councilor Larry VanDeWalker, Armani Tucker, City Administrator Michael Boulton, Mayor Ryan Holmes, and Scout Leader Eric Dierks.

as we can. Mark, who has a passion for photography, worked for a printing business prior to moving to Pine Island. He plans to pursue his passion through his photographic services. The Helmses main focus for the gallery is to first offer things made in America and second made in Minnesota. They are always looking for new and interesting handmade fine arts and crafts the more local the better. Susan said, We are hoping to draw in more local talent in order to offer a more diverse array of items such as wood, metal, glass, stained glass, paintings, and pottery pieces. Right now we have wonderful watercolor prints painted by local artist Jean Lejcher available. These are the kind of things we want to see

more of so we can expand and support local artists and crafters. The Helmses also like to host informal hands-on demonstrations that teach people new skills or enhance on the skills they already have, such as the Sit and Knit held on January 11 at the gallery. The public was invited to bring yarn, needles, and looms, and share stories and enjoy treats while learning some new stitches. Eclectic also has a collection of upscale maple syrup in 11 different flavors, as well as a variety of pancake mixes. Fine handmade soaps, ceramics, fiber creations, watercolor prints, musical instruments, jewelry, and more can also be found at the gallery. Coming soon will be a selection of Solar Roast Coffee from the only known solar roaster located in Colorado.

The Helmses are already looking ahead to the future to seek out more opportunities to grow their business and help out the community. Being the outdoorsy type, they are also excited for nicer weather so they can check out the local trails and nearby sites.

Frozen pipes temporarily forced closing of Covered Bridge Restaurant

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA The extreme cold of the polar vortex winter storm not only closed schools statewide on Monday, January 6, but it also temporarily closed the Covered Bridge Restaurant in Zumbrota. A broken pipe from the sprinkler system flooded much of the restaurant, resulting in the business closing for several days until repairs and cleanup could be completed. Owner Jon Stee noticed a small leak on the outside of the building Monday morning. He already had Steve Paulson of Paulson Plumbing & Heating on site when the two-inch sprinkler system pipe in the ceiling burst. Stee said, It could have been much worse. Steve is the hero; he was able to shut off the water in only a few minutes. But with the size and pressure from the break, water quickly flowed through the kitchen, freezer, cooler, sports bar, and dining room areas. By Thursday afternoon the sprinkling system was repaired. Water was cleaned up and the place was in the process of drying out. Plans were to be up and running again as soon as possible. The official temperature recorded at the water treatment plant in Zumbrota on the morning of January 6 was -24 F. It wasnt much different the following day: -23F.

Farewell open house to be held for Pastor Krause of St. Johns and Grace Lutheran
GOODHUE Pastor Andrew (Andy) Krause of St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church and Grace Lutheran Church, rural Goodhue, has accepted a new ministerial position in Fargo, North Dakota, at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church. A farewell open house in his honor will be held on Sunday, January 19, from 2-4 p.m. at St. Johns Church. St. Johns Church and School and Grace Lutheran Church are part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) and have been in existence for over 100 years. For the past 13 years, Pastor Andrew (Andy) Krause and his wife, Gayle (nee Scharpen), have served the two congregations. Pastor Krause first prepared for the ministry at the feet of his parents, then by attending a Lutheran Elementary School in Milwaukee, Northwestern Prep High School and Northwestern College, gradu-

In addition to the statewide school closings of Monday, January 6, school officials across much of the state began to call off Tuesday classes as early as Monday morning. The Goodhue, KenyonWanamingo, Pine Island, and Zumbrota-Mazeppa districts were among the many that canceled classes. Daytime temperatures fi-

nally began warming to the teens on Thursday and above average temperatures were recorded by the weekend. The cold temperature and strong winds were experienced throughout much of the United States. Many business and school closings as well as flight cancellations occurred in several states. Meteorologists explained that the reason for the extreme cold was a polar vortex a circulation of strong, upper-level winds that normally surround the northern and southern poles in a counterclockwise direction a polar low-pressure system. While these winds tend to keep the bitter cold air locked in the Arctic regions of the northern hemisphere, the vortex can become distorted and dip much farther south than normal.

Pastor Andy Krause and his wife Gayle will be moving to Fargo, North Dakota where Andy has accepted a ministerial position. A farewell open house will be held this Sunday. All are welcome to attend.

ating in 1987 from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary with a Masters of Divinity degree. Before making his presence known in the Goodhue area, he served congregations in northern Wisconsin and Rockford, Minnesota. The Krauses raised their four children in Goodhue and two of them graduated from Goodhue High School. Gayle recently was

hired by Goodhue Public School as a paraprofessional and enjoyed working with staff and students. Everyone is welcome to attend the open house celebration.

THE CHURCH CORNER

Do not give up!

Pastor Gary Basinski New River Assembly of God We are almost two weeks into the new year and statistics tell us that over half of people have already broken some or all of their resolutions and have given up. I look at this two different ways. The first way I look at that is sad. That so many people including me (drank pop already) have missed accomplishing what they really wanted to. I think it is sad on many levels but one mainly. That being that we as humans do not have the self-control to be able to stop or continue doing something on our own. If you are like me, you want to achieve something by yourself and say you did it! But the longer we live and the more we see, we come to realize that it is impossible to do anything great by yourself. We all need each other. God created us this way. Adam needed Eve he was lonely. That basic concept is still true today. So on the one hand if you have failed a resolution alclass; 6 p.m. Power hour; 6:30 p.m. Bell choir.

ready this year, start back up again and this time do not go at it alone. You need someone there both encouraging and pushing you to accomplish what it is you want to do or to stop you from doing something you dont want to do. The second part of this is that we do not have enough passion behind our goals. We are not completely sold out to them. In the book of Acts, there was a man named Paul, and as he was leaving a group of Christians he told them that his life was worth nothing if he didnt finish was God had called him to do. There was a deep passion to finish out his calling on his life. Do you have that passion to see through your goals this year? Maybe you know God is calling you to do something great, that others around you say is crazy. Or maybe it is simply to be a better husband and father, no matter what it is. If you are not sold out completely to that thing, you will not see it accomplished. I wanted to see how long I could go withGRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH, Nerstrand, Don Kloster pastor, (507) 3342822.

out drinking pop, no big deal right? Wrong! That Cherry Coke came calling and it was screaming my name and I was toast! I wasnt sold out, it was just a thing. If I dont get myself sold out to being a better pastor, father, and husband, it will never happen. That doesnt mean I am a bad one now nor does it mean you are. But lets face it, we should always be looking at ways to improve ourselves. Make sure that when you set goals or standards for yourselves you are sold out to those standards! Set the bar high and see how high you can reach. Knowing it doesnt happen overnight, but with the right passion and people around you can see a lot more being accomplished than you ever thought possible. Lets see what God wants to do with you and through you this year! As always, if you have questions, comments, or concerns please email me at gary.nragz@gmail. com. God bless!

volume and offer more competitive prices. Mayor Bob Beniak indicated he would like more frequent reports on sales and account information from the liquor store. Councilman Tom Marsh asked if the liquor store was able to accept credit cards, and if the city could use the same company to accept credit card payments for services. The city clerk will check into this.
Policing report

Wabasha County Sheriff Rodney Bartsh presented an incident report for the month of December. During the month deputies responded to three civil matters, two medical calls, two parking violations, two traffic violations, one attempt to help locate an individual, a damage to property report, one harassment/threat, one suspicious activity complaint, one traffic crash, and one incident involving concern for an individuals safety. Bartsh and the council discussed frequent complaints involving feral cats on the north side of town. The council discussed the possibility of offering to spay or neuter the cats to help control the problem. No action was taken on this issue.
Other business

Councilman Mike Hammes asked for an update on municipal liquor store sales for the year. Hofschulte said he anticipated income would be about $6,000 or $7,000 less than the previous year, but still in the black. Marsh recommended the store buy in higher

City attorney Steve Erwin said the state has requested a mandatory wage comparison be completed. Clerk Linda Friedrich provided Erwin with information regarding all city employees, their rates of pay, and job descriptions for the report. The council reviewed the report prepared by Erwin and approved its submission to the state. Erwin plans to follow through

with a civil suit involving a resident. Hofschulte requested Erwin address a letter the city had received from the individual named in the suit. Resident Eric Arendt asked the council for direction on the area of Oak Street which he is able to plow/grade. The city is working with OBrien Grading to try and resolve the natural process of road widening. Councilman Scott Parker said the city could provide Arendt guidance by spring, when planting season comes around. Public Works Director Larry Zielsdorf said the sewer plant and water wells are running in good condition. Extra heaters were put in the pump house as a precautionary measure due to the extreme cold. A new broom was obtained for the skid loader. It is slightly larger and covers more area faster in clearing snow. A building permit was approved for Bev Tweed to put in a hot water heater. Council members and city staff received a note from Jason Klein expressing his appreciation for the pleasant experience during his recent building project. The council briefly discussed a rumor that Groth Implement had been sold. Mayor Beniak said he had not heard of the business being sold. The council was informed that Groth had inquired about possibly moving his Wanamingo location a few blocks from its current site, but it was simply inquiry. The next regular council meeting will be Wednesday, February 5.

Highway 6 road project set to begin this summer

By Tara Chapa GOODHUE The Goodhue City Council approved the Goodhue County Highway 6 project with municipal corporate limits at the January 8 council meeting. County Public Works employee Alex Dicke was present to explain the need for the resolution approval as well as to answer questions from the council. Dicke said in an email to City Clerk Lori Agre that it was important to have Goodhue pass a resolution as the project needs to then be approved by the state. The Minnesota Department of Transportation tends to move at a slower pace, and Dicke said Goodhue County would like to get the ball rolling on this project in the summer 2014, so the earlier the better to have state receive the resolution approval from the Goodhue City Council. The resolution states that Goodhue is aware of the Goodhue County Highway 6 project and that Goodhue County Public Works will be doing the project within the city limits this summer. The right of way of negotiations as well as driveway placements will be discussed at a later meeting. be more aggressive due to the fact that Verizon is in violation of their contract with the city. Verizon does continue to pay the city nearly $1,600 a month for tower rent. More steps will be taken in effort to contact Verizon and resolve this issue.

Court rules Wabasha County Safe Driving Class illegal

Houston County Judge Fabian released his ruling on Wabasha Countys Safe Driving Class, permanently enjoining Wabasha Countys Safe Driving Class on January 6. The court found the program was unauthorized and violated state law, and in granting a permanent injunction, found that allowing an illegal...program to continue would cause great and irreparable injury to state taxpayers. The legal challenge against the Safe Driving Class was brought by County Commissioners Dave Harms and Deb Roschen, The Association for Government Accountability, former Commissioner Merl Norman, and Lynn Cliff, a driving class attendee. The legal contest started in August 2013 after Harms and Roschen attempted to bring the program into compliance with state law through a Wabasha County resolution rejected by the county boards leadership. Commissioners Springer, Wobbe, and Hall removed the item from the agenda, refusing to confer over the Safe Driving Class with the board minority. Because our colleagues on the board were unwilling to even discuss the class during a board meeting, we were left with two choices. As elected commissioners, we could continue to knowingly break the law, or we could have this matter resolved in the court, stated Harms. The State Auditors Office, relying on an attorney generals legal opinion, had for some time warned the county of the Safe Driving Class illegalities but chose to do nothing about it. With the county board leaderships rejection of a legislative solution, the plaintiffs asked their counsel, Erick Kaardal, to file a complaint with the court. Wabasha County Sherriff Rodney Bartsh has generated over $400,000 in revenue for his department since the inception of

Mayor Bien said he would be glad to grant the building permit, however, he wanted a guarantee that construction of the shop would begin in the spring, weather permitting. Gadient offered his guarantee and the council approved the permit.
2014 approvals

In a previous article, it was mentioned that the Pollution Control Agency (PCA) had asked Goodhue to order new wastewater treatment parts to update the plant disinfection equipment to comply with PCA standards. The council approved the ordering of new equipment for the treatment plant update from a company called Trojan out of London, Ontario. The estimated price for all necessary updates is $38,000.
3rd Street reconstruction

PINE ISLAND

The council named First Farmers and Merchants Bank as the citys official bank, the NewsRecord as official newspaper, and renewed Tom Voth to the Gas Board. In an effort to offer payroll in a timely and effortlessly manner, council approved the city payroll to be done via direct deposit. Goodhue City Clerk Lori Agre said she had completed research on this and felt this will be a great asset to city employees. The council also named Fritz Schulz as assistant mayor. Schulz has been a member of council since 2006 and his current term runs out in 2014.

The council approved the engineering firm I&S Groups recommendation to use Chosen Valley Testing (CVT), a geotechnical, engineering, and testing company from Rochester, to investigate underground for the 3rd Street reconstruction project. I&S Group recommended that six borings be used along three different parts of 3rd Street. Two borings will be drilled between 1st and 2nd Avenue, two more between 2nd and 3rd Avenue, and the last two between 3rd and 4th Avenue. The drillings will be bored to depths of about 20 feet or auger refusal. The standard penetration test borings will be sampled in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ATSM) procedures. All borings will be sealed according to applicable regulations. In a letter from CVT to Goodhue, the lump sum cost of the underground investigation is estimated at $2,225. CVT hopes to begin the project within two to three weeks of approval.

the Safe Driving Class. Judge Fabians ruling now raises questions as to whether or not the sheriff will have to pay back these funds to the state. Roschen said, It is regrettable that there are Wabasha County elected officials, law enforcement personnel, and others who choose to disregard the repeated warnings by the state auditor and attorney general of the countys questionable and illegal actions that established and promoted the Safe Driving Class program. They had other means to resolve the illegality of the Class. It didnt have to take a lawsuit. It should never be that Wabasha County citizens must act and spend their hard earned dollars to sue the very persons who enforce the law to stop breaking the law. Possible civil and criminal charges against these Wabasha County officials will likely be revealed after the court ruling is more completely evaluated.

Nearly 900 acres of public land added in Rice County south of Twin Cities
Nearly 900 acres of new public land south of the Twin Cities will be available for hunting, bird watching and other recreation as a new wildlife management area emerges and another grows, according to The Trust for Public Land and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. In Rice County near NerstrandBig Woods State Park, The Trust for Public Land purchased a 460acre property in the Cannon River headwaters from the Koester family, who have farmed or leased-tofarm the land for generations. The Koester prairie property at the new Prairie Creek Wildlife Management Area will preserve prairies, grasslands and oak savannah. Craig Koester, a family member and academic dean at Luther Seminary said, My siblings and I had the opportunity to grow up where the prairie met the woodland. Birds and wildlife flourished. We could enjoy these spaces of discovery and renewal because of the care taken by previous generations. When facing the decision of what to do with the land, it seemed clear it was our turn to make it available for the generations to come. It is a privilege to do so. Near Faribault in Rice Countys Shieldsville Township, 227 acres are being added to the Boyd Sartell Wildlife Management Area, including land along Shields Lake, a primary source of the Cannon River. Wildlife management areas are part of Minnesotas outdoor recreation system and are established to protect those lands and waters that have a high potential for wildlife production, public hunting, trapping, fishing, and other compatible recreational uses. There are more than 1,440 wildlife management areas in the state and boundaries of each are marked with bright yellow signs. Signage on the two new parcels is pending. The Trust for Public Land purchased the properties within the Cannon River headwaters in two transactions in December. Together the properties offer new public outdoor destinations within a short drive of more than half of Minnesotas population. Protecting these properties in a growing region accomplishes important recreation and habitat restoration objectives for Minnesota, and gives new outdoor opportunities to the people nearby that call these areas home, said Susan Schmidt, The Trust for Public Lands Minnesota state director. The waterfowl, wildlife, and native species in each landscape will be well cared for and the public has great new places to visit and treasure. The properties were both priorities for the DNR. Population growth, new development and agricultural operations in Rice County intensified the importance of protecting and restoring prairies, grasslands, and wetlands within the Cannon River headwaters. The properties were both protected with funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund and the Reinvest in Minnesota critical habitat account. The Outdoor Heritage Fund was created after voters approved the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment in November 2008, which increased sales tax by three-eighths of 1 percent. The fund receives onethird of the sales tax dollars and may only be spent to restore, protect and enhance wetlands, prairies, forest and habitat for game fish and wildlife. These are the kind of strong partnerships that not only bring additional dollars to Legacy projects, but will help us make significant gains in prairie and grassland habitat in Minnesota over the next 20 years through the Legacy amendment, said DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr. Founded in 1972, The Trust for Public Land is the leading nonprofit working to conserve land for people. Operating from more than 30 offices nationwide, The Trust for Public Land has protected more than three million acres from the inner city to the wilderness and helped generate more than $34 billion in public funds for conservation. Nearly ten million people live within a ten-minute walk of a Trust for Public Land park, garden, or natural area, and millions more visit these sites every year. Learn more at www.tpl.org.

New wetland map data available

The Department of Natural Resources has released updated wetland map data for 13 counties in east-central Minnesota, encompassing the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The wetlands were originally mapped by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the late 1970s and early 1980s as part of the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI). Although still widely used for land use planning, wetland permit screening and natural resource management, the original maps have grown increasingly out-of-date due to landscape alterations over the years. The newly-released map data is the first time the NWI has been updated in Minnesota. The data are available through an interactive mapping application on the DNRs website at: www.dnr. state.mn.us/eco/wetlands/map.html. The data can also be downloaded, free of charge, for use in geographic information system applications through the DNRs data deli at: http:/ /deli.dnr.state.mn.us. The new maps reflect the latest technology in remote sensing and mapping including high-resolution aerial imagery and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. The original NWI maps were quite good considering the imagery and mapping methods of the time, but the new maps are much more accurate, capture more detail and provide more information than the original maps, said Steve Kloiber, the DNR manager of the NWI update project. Besides showing the location, size and type of each wetland, the updated map data include information on the wetlands landscape position and hydrologic characteristics, which can be useful in assessing the benefits provided, such as water quality improvement, flood storage, and fish and wildlife habitat. The release of the wetland map data for east-central Minnesota marks completion of the first phase of a statewide update of the NWI. New, high resolution aerial imagery has been acquired for the entire state and wetland mapping is currently underway for the southern third of the state and a portion of northeast Minnesota. The DNR is planning to complete the entire state by 2020. The NWI update project is being funded by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the LegislativeCitizen Commission on Minnesota Resources.
