Celebrity tree gets a logo
The Moose Tree logo was created by NexGen Sign & Graphics, Rochester.
By Karen Snyder
ORONOCO Soon a new sign
with a Moose Tree logo will wel-
come visitors to Oronoco Park.
The city council, at its May 20
meeting, unanimously agreed to
Public Works supervisor Cain
Dolans request to honor the tree,
Oronocos largest, oldest, and most
unusual resident.
Measuring 91 feet high and 192
inches around, the Moose Tree is
Minnesotas biggest basswood,
dubbed by the DNR the Big Tree
Champion American Basswood
(dnr.state.mn.us/trees_shrubs/
bigtree/deciduous.html).
The 150-plus-year-old champ
thrives in the center of Oronoco
Park. Because of fluky limb growth,
the tree looks as if moose heads
three of them perch in it.
The basswood is a celebrity. Its
been featured in newspaper sto-
ries, and three years ago, WCCO-
TV aired a Moose Tree story.
Also in 2011, the tree got its
first professional grooming. Vol-
unteers, including Dolan, Adam
Hoehne, and Jon Marx of Arborists
of Rochester, and Corey Schulte
of Rainbow Tree Care, donated
time and tools to trim the crown
and install cables to protect
branches from high winds.
Now the cables need adjusting.
When the tree leafs out fully, the
volunteers will tend to that task.
The Moose Tree is alive and well,
Dolan said. Weve prolonged its
life for many years.
GOODHUE The Goodhue
Lions Club celebrated 50 years of
serving the community on May
10 with a banquet attended by Li-
ons International representatives
along with two local men who have
served as district governors.
Vaughn Bien, a founding mem-
ber when the Kenyon and
Wanamingo clubs sponsored
Goodhues Lions, admitted he had
no clue what Lions Club was about
at the beginning. But it didnt take
Zumbrota Cemetery among those
to have veterans markers stolen
This is an example of a veterans
marker left untouched at the
Zumbrota Cemetery. Over 30
markers are known to have been
removed from gravesites at the
cemetery. The theft was first noticed
May 10th when five stars were found
along the walking trail adjacent to
the cemetery.
By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA Several area
Memorial Day preparations and
observances this year were marred
by the thefts of veterans markers
at cemeteries. Zumbrota was
among the communities that also
included Cannon Falls, Frontenac,
Vasa, and Oronoco to have been
hit by thieves who snatched the
brass rods with the mounted orna-
mental stars from the gravesites.
The incidents were first reported
in late April and continued into
May.
May is typically a busy month
for Frank Aunan, Commander of
Stary-Yerka VFW Post #5727,
with preparations for the Memo-
rial Day observance and the an-
nual Field of Honor held over the
same weekend in Zumbrota. What
he didnt expect was the follow-
up to the theft of more than 30
veterans markers at the Zumbrota
Cemetery.
Aunan became aware of the in-
cident after Erik Hostager, of Zum-
brota and son of a veteran, came
into the VFW on Saturday, May
10. Hostager had found five vet-
erans stars along the walking trail,
adjacent to the west side of the
cemetery. Since that time, Zum-
brota Police Chief Gary Selness
said a total of 32 stars have been
found. But Aunan said, We might
still find more. And who knows,
some may have even been tossed
in the river.
The stars, engraved with Vet-
eran are affixed to two-foot long
brass rods that are placed in the
ground at the gravesites of mili-
tary veterans. Throughout the year,
Aunan keeps a list of veterans
deaths and in early spring, sends a
request to the Goodhue County
Veterans Officer. An appropriate
number of rods and stars are re-
ceived to have on hand ahead of
Memorial Day when flags are also
placed at the gravesites. The county
receives the ornamentation and
rods from the U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs.
In addition to Zumbrota Cem-
etery, VFW Post #5727 also over-
sees duties for five other area cem-
eteries for veterans. No missing
markers have been noted at the
other locations.
Aunan has contacted the sup-
plier in Ohio for the cost to re-
place the stolen rods and dam-
aged stars. The cost for one orna-
mental, detailed star and one brass
rod totals $27.90, with the major-
ity of the cost for the star. Ship-
ping costs are additional. With the
thieves apparently just taking the
rods and presumably selling them
for less money than the $4.50 per
rod purchase price, Aunan asked,
Is it (stealing) worth it for that
amount of money? The stars are
pretty incriminating, so they are
broken off and left behind. The
service markers have a mounting
on the back to accept the rod and a
flag dowel. Brass is an alloy made
of copper and zinc.
Aunan has been weighing the
pros and cons of other options that
may be less expensive and/or not
as attractive to thieves. Aluminum
rods would be less expensive but
more easily damaged by weed
whackers and lawn mowers. Steel
would be durable, but prone to
rust over the years. Another thought
has been to see what a company
such as Custom Iron could do -
perhaps a coating over steel that
would be durable, yet attractive.
While unable to have the mark-
ers replaced in time for Memorial
Day 2014, Aunan said We are
determined. Im sure we will get
help. Word of the loss has begun
to travel and as of May 22, he had
already begun receiving notifica-
tions from family members of
veterans who had checked loved
ones gravesites to report missing
markers.
Aunan welcomes being con-
tacted with names of where ser-
vice markers were stolen. Match-
ing of deceased veterans names
against the cemetery directory,
followed by checking the actual
sites for missing markers, will be
a tedious task. Announcements
were being made at the Field of
Honor Ceremony on May 24 and
Memorial Day, May 26.
If you visit the Zumbrota Cem-
etery and find a marker is miss-
ing, call the VFW office at 732-
5411 or Aunans home at 732-
7227. Leave a brief message, stat-
ing the veterans name and a phone
number for returning a call. You
will be contacted to obtain addi-
tional information.
Selness said law enforcement
agencies in Goodhue and Olmsted
Counties have been notified of the
thefts and of a suspect in the case
after a recycling center reported
rods being brought in.

the members decided to hold a

about 3,000.
Fifty years seems unbelievable
now, Bien said, recalling the
good times, good friends, and
good deeds weve done. These
things included raising funds to
build a community swimming pool
and to establish the Goodhue Li-

Amendment 19 of the United States Constitution
Passed by Congress June 4, 1919. Ratified August 18, 1920.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or
by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
To the Editor:
Many Democrats in Congress,
including U.S. Senators Amy
Klobuchar and Al Franken, sup-
port a proposed constitutional
amendment to fix the federal cam-
paign system. The proposal would
take aim at the political action
committees and unregulated
money flowing into campaigns.
Ever since the Supreme Court
ruled on Citizens United in 2010,
you could say big corporations and
labor unions won the fight over
average Americans regarding free-
dom of speech. The trend contin-
ued in early April when the Su-
preme Court ruled to strike down
the overall limits that wealthy
donors can contribute to political
campaigns. Once again, the aver-
age guy without much influence
or access to our political system
was left on the sideline.
Ive heard debate about public
disclosure of money to campaigns,
which is a good thing. My idea of
a democracy is citizens freely dis-
cussing and debating issues with-
out secrecy or special access. How
can our democracy work when big
corporations or wealthy individu-
als spend obscene amounts of
money to influence elections and
remain anonymous besides? The
average guy can go down to city
hall and sit next to his neighbor
and have a completely different
view-point and walk away with-
out getting into fist fight. We ex-
pect civility and respect, unlike
other countries where masked men
roam and burn buildings due to
political ideology. It hasnt always
been easy in this country, but we
can be proud of the gift we call
democracy.
So, this is a time in our countrys
history to stand up and reverse the
trend of big money and special
Time for courage
interests in our political system.
If it takes a constitutional amend-
ment to address this issue, then I
concur, but the Democrats in Con-
gress need to turn this into more
than an election year gimmick.
They way things stand now in
Congress, this constitutional
amendment wont move forward
without Republican support. Why
not include term limits, which the
Tea Party faction of the conserva-
tive wing endorses? Why not craft
tougher regulations for Washing-
ton D.C. lobbyists and some former
members of Congress who feed at
the same taxpayer trough?
One thing is for sure, this en-
deavor will take courage. Putting
the flag and democracy up for sale
isnt courageous. We can do bet-
ter than this.

Misplaced priorities
highlight 2014 session
Another legislative session has
come and gone, and while there
are a handful of positives that can
be found in our legislative work
over the past few months, Im find-
ing that theyre being trumped by
a long list of negatives.
As someone who is fiscally con-
servative and tries to limit
governments intrusion in your life,
its been difficult to watch Demo-
crats pass the largest spending in-
crease in the history of the state,
needlessly raise taxes and fees on
all hardworking Minnesotans, and
approve their radical social agenda.
$3 billion was spent on new,
permanent spending on state gov-
ernment in 2013, and apparently
it wasnt enough. On the last day
of the 2014 session, Democrats
chose to spend $262 million more.
After the majority raised taxes
and fees by roughly $2.4 billion
in 2013, we chose to eliminate
three troublesome Democrat-ap-
proved business taxes and return
some money to the taxpayers
roughly $550 million.
Unbelievably, the majority party
praised themselves for fighting for
the taxpayer. In essence, they took
a dollar out of your pocket last
year, handed you a dime in return
this year, and told you to enjoy the
tax relief.
Legalizing gay marriage was a
top Democrat priority in 2013, so
its no surprise this agenda was
highlighted as part of Minnesotas
new statewide anti-bullying leg-
islation that was approved in 2014.
Attempts were also made to take
away the rights of law-abiding gun
owners, but fortunately hundreds
of them spoke up or visited the
State Capitol and put an end to
that nonsense.
These are the joys of one party
rule.
Republicans did have alterna-
tives. We didnt want to spend
more than the state brought in
through tax collections. We wanted
to return every dollar of this years
$1.2 billion surplus to the
hardworking taxpayers because the
legislature and the governor over-
charged them last year.
Democrats chose a different
direction, and are banking that
Minnesotas economy will con-
tinue to exceed expectations. If it
doesnt, the era of budget deficits
will return because leadership was
anything but prudent when it came
to state government spending in-
creases over the past two years.
Another area the parties differed
was on capital investment. Mil-
lions were wasted on sculpture
gardens, museums, art centers, and
snowmaking equipment, while not
nearly enough money was included
for local road and bridge repair.
I authored a bonding bill that
would have dedicated $517 mil-
lion for road and bridge improve-
ment projects statewide, prioritized
State Capitol reconstruction along
with wastewater and drinking water
projects, and would have left out
the pork - completely. It did not
receive consideration.
Statewide spending is now out
of control, and some of the priori-
ties that were funded by legisla-
tive leadership will make you shake
your head. An Obamacare bail-
out that costs more than $400 mil-
lion. A new senate office building
that is not needed and costs tax-
payers nearly $90 million. The list
goes on and on and on.
Minnesota cannot continue
down this path where we spend
every nickel we can and worry
about the consequences later. In
the future, we are going to need to
show fiscal restraint, restore bal-
ance, present workable solutions,
and discover respect for
Minnesotas hardworking taxpay-
ers.

And now for something
completely different
Yes, the line is from Monty
Pythons Flying Circus show. I
am not going to write about edu-
cation, or politics.
Once upon a time (you dont
know how much I have been want-
ing to start a column with this
phrase) George Lucas had a dream
and an idea. He finally decided to
make his dream come true. Lucas
made a movie called Star Wars,
A New Hope, Episode 4 The
idea was to make a retro movie
of science fiction movies made in
the 30s and 40s. He did it for fun.
He didnt expect it to be highly
successful. Yet he touched a nerve
and Star Wars became BIG! He
made five more Star Wars epi-
sodes for a series of six continu-
ous stories.
After the first movie (Episode
4), he agreed to a comic version of
the movie and beyond. The con-
tract did give him and his staff
editorial control of the story line.
Nearly ten years later, Marvel
(Spiderman, etc) thought they
could sneak in an idea without
approval from him. It turns out
that his staff was reading the com-
ics and he pulled the plug on Mar-
vel. The Marvel artists and writ-
ers (writers are artists as well) who
worked on the Star Wars comics
left Marvel and approached Mr.
Lucas and company. They really
wanted to do Star Wars. They
agreed to the editorial oversight.
Darkhorse started producing Star
Wars comics. (And life was good!)
Relevant, but off to the side,
Disney & Company bought Mar-
vel to help make the Marvel mov-
ies. Then Disney bought Lucass
company, Lucasfilm Ltd. And
suddenly the ground rules changed.
For those of us who like what
Darkhorse had and has done, their
effort will end at the end of 2014.
Marvel will take over production
of Star Wars comics. Hopefully
this time they will follow the edi-
torial oversight of Lucass staff.
The first Star Wars novel was
The Splinter of the Minds Eye
published in 1978. Since then,
hundreds of novels have been pub-
lished spanning reading levels from
young people to adults. The graphic
novels (comic books) have been
published and repackaged and
published again. Disney is mak-
ing Episode 7 now. If you look
for it, a spinoff movie was made
about the Ewoks.
The Star Wars phenomena has
exceeded Lucass dream. Fortu-
nately, he has control of the dream
and we have Star Wars. Watch
the movies again, but this time, go
deeper. You will find social com-
ments on a variety of topics from
religion to politics and other so-
cial activities. You can enjoy the
story as just a story. You can also
determine Lucass principles and
beliefs and see that both view-
points are correct and true. In Star
Wars terms, the truth from a cer-
tain point of view. And that is
what is different. Until next week.

Session ends with some tax corrections
and even more spending
The final week of the 2014 leg-
islative session was highlighted
with good news and bad news.
First the good: Weve begun to
correct some of the legislative
majoritys tax increase mistakes.
Last session, Governor Dayton and
House and Senate Democrats ap-
proved more than $2 billion in
unnecessary tax and fee increases
that impacted all hardworking tax-
payers across Minnesota.
I discussed the potential prob-
lems associated with this economic
strategy with legislative leader-
ship. As you recall, the impact felt
locally was tremendous. Compa-
nies such as Red Wing Shoe and
other local businesses stepped for-
ward and shared how a number of
the new business taxes would put
them at a competitive disadvan-
tage with Wisconsin and other
states, and how that disadvantage
would ultimately impact their
workforce and economic liveli-
hood.
To their credit, the Democrats
listened. We repealed three of their
business-to-business taxes early
in the 2014 session. We even passed
two other proposals that attempted
to give money back to Minneso-
tans through income tax deduc-
tions as well as some limited prop-
erty tax relief.
This is a philosophic difference
that often puts Republicans and
Democrats at odds. Democrats
believe the best way to collect more
state revenue is to raise taxes.
Republicans believe state govern-
ment should create an environ-
ment that encourages private sec-
tor businesses to grow. Doing so
would employ more of our work-
ers, allowing them to contribute
to the states coffers through the
income tax, and allowing them to
buy more products, thereby pay-
ing more in sales taxes.
In my opinion, correcting tax
increase mistakes is always a good
idea, and I was happy to support
these plans. Unfortunately we
didnt do more.
The City of Red Wing can be
somewhat pleased that theRiver
Town Renaissance Project was
included in this years capital in-
vestment bill, though not at the $6
million level it requested.
Roughly $1.5 million will now
be available to begin this tourism
project, as it seeks to improve sewer
and drinking water infrastructure;
replace a harbor retaining wall;
construct riverboat docking facili-
ties at Levee Park; and renovate
the historic Sheldon Performing
Arts Theatre. The Port Authority
will also receive $500,000.
The downside to the 2014 ses-
sion is the majority partys deci-
sion to continue down the path of
more regulations, more mandates,
and more spending.
Some of the most egregious:a
$400 million bailout of Obamacare;
$160 million on the MNsure agency
and its troubled website; unnec-
essary Obamacare and statewide
anti-bullying mandates that will
cost Minnesotas schools hundreds
of millions over the next three
years; and $90 million for a brand
new office complex at the State
Capitol for the Minnesota Senate.
In all, the majority party and
Governor Dayton increased state
spending by more than $3 billion
in 2013, and on the last day of the
session they added another $283
million to the expense sheet.
To me, that level of spending is
simply unsustainable and will force
future legislatures to make ex-
tremely difficult budget balanc-
ing choices in the future if tax
collections begin to underperform.
As lawmakers leave St. Paul,
they do so knowing, despite their
philosophical differences, that the
budget is in balance and a pro-
jected $1.2 billion surplus has been
allocated. In roughly six months,
an updated economic forecast will
tell us if the financial decisions
made by this legislature were pru-
dent, or if the next legislature is
going to be forced to explore dif-
ferent economic alternatives.
A one-trick president
A one-trick pony is an idiom in
the English language that refers
to a person noted for only one
achievement or skill. We have a
one-trick president. President
Obama is very skilled in getting
elected to public office. He proved
that when he won an Illinois Sen-
ate seat on his first try, and then,
as a freshman senator, won the
presidency of the United States,
getting elected in 2008 and re-
elected in 2012.
Unfortunately, for him, but
mostly for his electorate, getting
elected is his only accomplishment.
After assuming the office, he has
done nothing of any note. Heres
what John Hinderaker says on
Powerline.com:
The emerging narrative of
Barack Obama, the one that actu-
ally comports to reality, is that he
is a rare political talent but a di-
saster when it comes to actually
governing. The list of his failures
is nothing short of staggering, from
shovel-ready jobs that werent so
shovel ready to the failures of
healthcare.gov to the VA debacle.
But it also includes the presidents
failure to tame the debt, lower
poverty, decrease income inequal-
ity, and increase job creation...
Overseas the range of Obamas
failures include the Russian re-
set and Syrian red lines to Irans
Green Revolution, the Egyptian
overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, and
Libya post-Gaddafi. The first
American ambassador since the
1970s was murdered after requests
for greater security for the diplo-
matic outpost in Benghazi were
denied. ...
But thats not all. The White
House response to everything from
the VA and IRS scandals to the
seizure of AP phone records by
the Department of Justice is that it
learned about them from press
reports. More and more Mr. Obama
speaks as if hes a passive actor, a
bystander in his own administra-
tion, an MSNBC commentator
speaking about events he has no
real control over. We saw that ear-
lier today [5/21/2014], when the
president, in trying to address the
publics growing outrage at whats
happening at the VA, insisted he
will not stand for it and will not
tolerate what he has stood for and
tolerated for almost six years. His
anger at whats happening to our
veterans seems to have coincided
with the political damage it is now
causing him.
The two worst presidents in my
lifetime Jimmy Carter and Barack
Obama have had management
styles that are polar opposites.
Carter was completely hands on
to a fault. Obama is Laissez Faire
Management Style. In this lead-
ership management style, the team
is given the freedom to complete
the job or tasks in any way they
deem it should be done. It is a
hands off approach at the man-
agement level in terms of direc-
tion, but the manager is there to
answer questions and provide guid-
ance as needed. (Brick Jackson,
The Different Types of Manage-
ment Styles)
President Obama does not like
his job. If he did, he would per-
form it. The recent VA medical
scandal is the best (worst) example.
It is now patently obvious that he
was aware of the issues surround-
ing the VA when he took office in
2009. He spoke of cleaning up
the situation in 2008. But he has
done nothing. Now that the scan-
dal is public, he wont even fire
the person responsible, General
Shinseki. It took him literally weeks
to even publicly address the VA
issue. The word on the street after
the Obamacare rollout debacle is
that he had never even had a meet-
ing with his Secretary of Health
and Human Services, Kathleen
Sebelius, in the months leading
up to the launch. He seldom meets
with his cabinet. This administra-
tion is on autopilot. It is Laissez
Faire management style at its worst.
This is what you get when you
elect a man to lead you who has
had no prior management experi-
ence. He doesnt understand sched-
ules, checkpoints, resources, sta-
tus, accountability, or any of the
other myriad of parameters sur-
rounding the management of a large
operation. Clearly, we dont ex-
pect him to run every department
in the bureaucracy, but we do ex-
pect that he would have a man-
agement system in place to keep
that bureaucracy accountable to
him. In this he has failed miser-
ably.
Previously, I wrote that Vice
President Biden was Obamas in-
surance policy against impeach-
ment. Now, Im not so sure. This
one-trick president has under-
achieved even for my low expec-
tation.
God bless America!

Sidney Ronningen 1920-2014
GOODHUE Sidney Alton
Ronningen, 94, died peacefully on
Sunday morning, May 25, 2014
at his sons home in Goodhue.
Sidney was born January 22, 1920,
on the family farm in Roscoe
Township, Goodhue County. He
was the tenth of twelve children
born to Knute and Marie (Dybvad)
Ronningen. Sidney was baptized
and confirmed at Lands Lutheran
Church and attended Bringgold
Country School, graduating in
1934.
After the bombing of Pearl
Harbor, Sidney wanted to serve
his country and signed up on
December 26, 1941. He served in
the Pacific at Port Moresby in New
Guinea with the 27th Air Depot of
the Army Air Corps. While
stationed there he built a washing
machine using a jeep transmission
and ran the Wishy Washy
laundry, which helped to combat
jungle rot in the 130 degree
weather. Sidney was honorably
discharged on November 14, 1945.
Sidney married Ruth Ann
Yennie on November 23, 1945, in
Pine Island. They farmed northeast
of Zumbrota from 1951 until 1982
when they retired. Sidney was very
interested in soil and water
conservation. He built many ponds
and terraces, and set aside land
for wildlife habitat.
Sidney was a lifetime member
of Stary-Yerka VFW Post 5727
and served as commander three
times. He was also a member and
past president of the 65-50 Club
in Zumbrota. His passion was
sharing WWII photos and
memorabilia with family, friends
and hundreds of school children.
It was important to him to share
his experience with the community
and to educate others about the
war. Sidney received the
Presidents Call to Service Award
in 2006 for his 4000 plus hours as
a volunteer driver taking veterans
to the VA Hospital in Minneapolis.
In 2009, he received the Goodhue
County Outstanding Senior
Volunteer Award.
Sidney is survived by his son,

ZM seventh grade tours Mystery Cave and Historic Forestville
PRESTON On May 16, the Zumbrota-Mazeppa seventh grade class took a day trip to tour the Mystery Cave and Historic Forestville near Preston.
Students had the opportunity to walk through a one-mile portion of the 13-mile underground Mystery Cave, viewing different rock formations and
underground terrain. They then toured Historic Forestville, a village from the 1800s. Original store merchandise and hands-on f arm work with
authentic tools, as well as feeding heirloom chickens, made this a day to remember for the students. On the left, Matthew Postians works to saw
a log with an old-fashioned saw blade at Historic Forestville. On the right, Nate Moline tills a garden with a plow from the 1800s.

Officer Leifeld will celebrate
his retirement on June 5
By Tara Chapa
ZUMBROTA After 23 years
and four months of keeping the
town of Zumbrota safe, Police
Officer Gene Leifeld retired on
May 9. The community is invited
to celebrate his career on June 5
at the city hall from 3:30-5:30 p.m.
At the May 15 city council meet-
ing, councilors expressed their
thanks for Leifelds service. Tina
Hostager described him as not only
a police officer but a peace
officer. Brad Drenckhahn said that
thank you just did not seem ap-
propriate enough to describe the
citys appreciation of Leifelds
efforts.
Leifeld was born and raised in
Hastings. Upon turning 18, he
enlisted in both the Army and
National Guard. He completed
basic training at Fort Dix in
Burlington County, New Jersey,
and Advanced Individual Train-
ing (AIT) and training for the Sig-
nal Corp at Fort Gordon in Geor-
gia. Although not called out to
duty during the first or second Gulf
War, Leifeld was on standby. He
did spend some time in Guate-
mala with the Minnesota National
Guard to assist with setting up roads
and communication, and he was
also involved with stateside as-
signments to help administer in
disaster recovery where needed.
Leifeld began his police career
as a reserve officer in Red Wing
assisting with crowd control at
parades and sporting events. He
said he felt this was a great intro-
duction to becoming a police of-
ficer. Because he enjoyed the as-
pect of community assistance so
much, he decided to go to school
at Inver Grove Community Col-
lege in 1988 to complete a two-
year program to become a state-
tested and certified police officer.
He came to Zumbrota in 1991.
His first arrest was for a DUI.
When asked if he was nervous, he
said it was simply part of the job
and he was excited to begin his
career. Through the years, when
responding to calls Leifeld said
he never became complacent. He
said he never knew what to expect
and always tried to be ready for
anything. On a few occasions he
had to draw his gun; however, he
never had to shoot it. Leifeld con-
siders domestic calls to be the high-
est risk for spinning in a down-
ward cycle fast. Another high-risk
situation is when assisting with
Highway 52 calls or stops. If there
is a car accident and Zumbrota
Police are first on the scene, first
aid will be rendered until an am-
bulance and either the County or
State Patrol arrives. Those mo-
ments until backup arrives, Leifeld
said, are when lives are at stake.
The nature of crime has changed
some over the years, according to
Leifeld. Theft and robbery seem
to happen more via computers now.
Victims of identity theft have had
to be advised about what personal
information they put online. Its a
change from the former advice on
preventing thefts suggesting
people lock their doors or obtain a
home alarm system. Crime is more
mobile now and travels faster. In
some ways social media can help
officers and in other ways its a
nightmare. The war on drugs hasnt
changed necessarily, Leifeld said,
but it seems different. Drugs are
more potent now, with synthetic
forms available and drug trends
changing constantly. Leifeld said
he feels it is crime prevention within
not only the school but the city,
Safe & Sober programs, Click it
or Ticket campaigns, as well as
his work with the Chemical Health
Initiative that have made deeper
impacts within Zumbrota.
Leifeld said his main goal as an
officer was to be involved in the
lives of the community. He has no
regrets and has enjoyed his time
serving Zumbrota immensely.
After spending many years jug-
gling night and day shifts of pa-
trolling, he looks forward to a
normal routine where there is more
time to spend on hobbies and with
family. Although Zumbrota resi-
dents will not see him in uniform,
they may catch him with a fishing
pole or walking his dog Cocoa.
Leifeld also plans to continue with
his volunteer work with the Chemi-
cal Health Initiative, National
Guard Enlist Association, Veter-
ans Organizations, as well as the
American Legion.
Officer Gene Leifeld has retired from
the Zumbrota Police after 23 years
of service.
Farmers Market returns to East Park
with several changes for the summer
Karen Carlson of Spring Hill Gardens helps Gary Ofstie select plants and
baked items at the Zumbrota Farmers Market in East Park on Tuesday,
May 20. Carlson is a new vendor at the Zumbrota market this year.
Stephan Jennebach is ready to put two spinach pizzas in the portable
wood-fired oven at the first outdoor Zumbrota Farmers Market of the
season on May 20. This year, the market has switched the day of the
week and hours to Tuesdays from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA As the Zum-
brota Farmers Market began its
fifth season in East Park on Tues-
day, May 20, shoppers had sev-
eral changes to consider this year.
The first was the day of the week
and the time of the event. The
market is now on Tuesdays, and
its hours have switched to a later
time, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Shop-
pers can choose from a wide se-
lection of goods from local ven-
dors including new vendors and
items. Also, between June 10 and
July 30, the market will overlap
with Music in the Park for some
special entertainment.
A new vendor to the first mar-
ket of the season was Karen Carlson
of Spring Hill Gardens of rural
Rochester in Wabasha County. She
had brought a pickup load of an-
nual and perennial flowers as well
as a variety of baked goods. Carlson
also sells on a regular basis at the
Rochester Downtown Farmers
Market.
Other vendors had plants, canned
vegetables and jams, baked goods
and fresh rhubarb. With the late
spring, other items from the gar-
den are running a bit late, but more
will be available in the coming
weeks. Andrew Johnmeyer of
Zumbrota had freezers in the back
of his truck selling grass-fed beef,
pastured pork, and free-range
chickens as well as fresh eggs.
Stephan Jennebach is back with
a variety of his Firebrick Bread. A
new addition for him is a wood-
fired oven on a trailer. He or an
assistant will take your order for
five different pizzas on the menu
that are freshly baked on-site, tak-
ing less than ten minutes from start
to finish. Pizzas come with a bottle
of water. With the green grass,
shade trees and picnic tables at
the park, the site is perfect for a
pizza picnic. After making its de-
but at the market, Jennebach said,
It looks like the spinach pizza
was the best seller, followed by
sausage and mushroom. For the
kids, theres a cheese pizza, or a
pepperoni.
Among those trying the pizzas
were Christoph and Robin
Hauenstein of Rochester.
Christoph is a native of Germany.
The couple met when Robin, origi-
nally from Texas, worked in
Munich, Germany for IBM. Fa-
miliar with how bread is baked in
Germany and learning of
Jennebachs business, they came
to Zumbrota and the market.
Jennebach is also manager for
the market. This year, attendance
is being tracked with 108 adults
counted May 20. Not too bad for
the opener, said Jennebach. From
what I had heard, everybody was
very happy with the turnout. We
especially liked the fact that quite
a few people came with their kids
and made it a family outing. I think
the swings at the playground were
going non-stop. I saw people leave
with plants, canned goods, eggs,
meat and baked treats. Were look-
ing forward to having more pro-
duce once the season hits full
swing.
Jennebach also reminds custom-
ers of the later start time this year.
Were encouraging customers to
start coming at 4:00 p.m. It gives
our vendors a chance to settle in
and put all of their items on dis-
play.
There are still openings for ad-
ditional vendors. For more infor-
mation, call Jennebach at 507-732-
4667.
East Park is located one block
east of Main Street between 6th
and 7th Streets.

PI girls place second in sub-section meet
By Faye Haugen
MEDFORD Every coach
would like to see his team win a
section title, but area track
coaches are more concerned about
advancing as many athletes as
possible to the next level of com-
petition. Eight area girls and four
relay teams punched their tick-
ets to advance to the Section 1A
meet in Winona on Tuesday and
Thursday.
To qualify for the Section 1A
meet, an athlete or relay team
must finish in the top three.
We had a good performance
night overall, but we couldnt
keep up with Byron, lamented
PI coach Bill Frame of finishing
second to the Bears in the final
team standings, 248-172. We are
hoping to get several medalists
at the section meet in Winona
and advance some people to
State.
Pine Island
The Panthers will advance five
girls in eight events and have all
four relay teams advance to Wi-
nona.
Eliza Warneke had a huge
meet winning gold in the 100-
meter hurdles, 300-meter hurdles
and 200-meter dash, and she was
third in the high jump.
Laura Torgeson placed first
in the 800-meter run. Placing sec-
ond were Niki Fokken in the high
jump and Caitlin Schartau in the
400-meter dash. Adeline Angst
was third in the 3200-meter run.
The Panther 4x200-meter re-
lay team of Caitlin Schartau, Madi
Owen, Madison House and Brit-
tney Arndt, placed first as did
the 4x400-meter relay team of
Caitlin Schartau, Sara Schartau,
Brittney Arndt and Laura Torge-
son.
The PI 4x800-meter relay team
of Adeline Angst, Abby Gushu-
lak, Sara Schartau and Taylor
Rasmussen was second, and the
4x100-meter relay team of Madi-
son House, Ana Marx, Katie
Schultz and Madi Owen placed
third.
Kenyon-Wanamingo
Mara Quam did not bring any
gold medals home for Kenyon-
Wanamingo, but the freshman
was second in three events and
third in another to extend her track
season. Quam was second in the
100-meter hurdles, 300-meter
hurdles and long jump, and she
was third in the triple jump.
Tess Hokanson won a gold
medal when she won the 400-
meter dash.
Zumbrota-Mazeppa
As she has all season, Zum-
brota-Mazeppas Maddie Lindhart
dominated the weight events. She
won the shot put and discus titles,
setting a new Cougar discus
record of 1196. She breaks her
own record of 1189 she set a
few years ago.
Skyler Jacobson will also see
double duty at the section meet.
The eighth-grader won the 1600-
meter run title and was third in
the 800-meter run.

KW moves into West Section 1A finals
By Faye Haugen
WANAMINGO The Kenyon-
Wanamingo baseball team was
seeded fourth in a tough West
Section 1A bracket. Coaches who
seeded the bracket may be scratch-
ing their heads now that the Knights
are in the West Section 1A finals.
KW earned an easy win over
fifth-seeded Medford to open the
tournament. They then nudged top-
seeded Southland out of the way
in the semifinals to move into the
West Section finals.
Medford
KW crushed fifth-seeded Med-
ford in Wanamingo on Thursday,
beating the Tigers 16-0 in five in-
nings. A combination of good hit-
ting and seven Medford errors al-
lowed KW to get off to a 12-0
start in three innings.
We put the ball in play and
found a few holes to get on base,
said Coach Randy Hockinson.
Alex Roosen ground it out on the
mound for us.
Roosen was in control on the
mound for KW. The right-handed
senior struck out eight, walked three
and scattered two hits over five
innings.
Leading KW at the plate was
Drew Sathrum, three for three, with
two RBI and two stolen bases.
Blake Jacobson had a triple and
three RBI and Luke Rechtzigel
and Connor Sviggum (two RBI)
each hit a double.

Southland
The Knights pulled off an upset
on Saturday when they stopped
top-seeded Southland (17-4) 2-1
in semifinal play in Austin.
Drew Sathrum was dominte on
the mound when he struck out 13,
walked three and scattered three
hits.
KW scored both of their runs in
the third inning. The Rebels Lu-
kas Anderson came into the game
with a 0.19 ERA, but the Knights
were able to string together the
two runs on a hit batter, a sacrifice
bunt, a wild pitch, a single by Blake
Jacobson, a single by Jace Claw-
iter and a Rebel error.
Southland scored a solo run in
the fourth inning and threatened
again in the bottom of the seventh
with a two-out triple. An inten-
tional walk by the Knights was
followed by Sathrum throwing his
13th strikeout to end the game.
The Knights had just three hits,
singles by Jace Clawiter, Jake
Whipple and Blake Jacobson.
The Knights were playing sec-
ond-seeded Randolph as the News-
Record went to press. A win would
put them into Saturdays Section
1A semifinals at Mayo Field in
Rochester at 10 a.m. A loss would
knock them into the elimination
bracket and force a second game
on Monday.

Byron pulls an upset over Pine Island
By Faye Haugen
PINE ISLAND Byron pulled
off a slight upset in the opening
round of the West Section 1AA
playoffs when they stopped Pine
Island 4-2 in Pine Island, Thurs-
day.
Anyone who has been paying
serious attention to the pairings
for the 1AA West Baseball Tour-
nament knew that Byron had been
playing some improved baseball
as the season went on. They split
with Lourdes earlier in the season
and had lost to Kasson-Mantor-
ville in 10 innings, pointed out
Pine Island baseball coach Craig
Anderson of the fifth-seeded Bears.
PI took a 1-0 lead in the third
inning and trailed 2-1 heading into
the bottom of the sixth before knot-
ting the score 2-2. But the Bears
notched two runs in the top of the
seventh, and they proved to be
game winners.
We got another fine pitching
performance from Jordan Pin, but
Byron was able to get a couple of
clutch hits, a ground ball single
up the middle and a bloop single
over first in the seventh inning
with two outs to score their runs,
said Coach Anderson. Overall,
we hit the ball decent and only
struck out four times, but we hit
into two double -plays and left
guys in scoring position in four
innings. It was a tough way to end
the season.
Pin struck out three, walked two
and gave up eight hits in the mound
loss. Leading the Panthers at the
plate were Matt Kukson (RBI) and
Ben Warneke (double) with two
hits each. Aaron Gillard had a
double, and earning a single were
Nathan Waletzko, Ben Bauer and
Adam Pleschourt.
The Panthers finish with a 12-7
overall record. They will lose most
of their starting lineup when 12
seniors graduate in Adam Ple-
schourt, Brandon Miller, Ben
Warneke, Ben Bauer, Tyler Le-
jcher, Jordan Pin, Alex Kautz, Luke
Schmidt, Colin Rucker, Nathan
Waletzko, Jared Lohmeyer and Ian
Radtke.

By Faye Haugen
GOODHUE The season came

ond-seeded Randolph in Randolph.

Goodhue errors to jump out to a
9-0 lead through the first two in-
nings. The Wildcat regrouped and
were abel to outscore Randolph
8-3 over the remaining five in-
nings, but they were able to get no
closer than the 13-8 final score.
Nathan Altendorf and Sam

KW advances to winners

WANAMINGO The Kenyon-
Wanamingo softball team has a
modest 11-11 record this season,
but a number of those losses have
come against three HVL teams
ranked in the top 10 in Class A
and AA.
In a mild upset, the third-seeded
Knights won the West Section 1A
title on Friday when they downed
last years State Class A cham-
pion, Blooming Prairie. KW
opened tournament play with wins
over Waterville-Elysian-Morris-
town, second-seeded Randolph and
fourth-seeded Blooming Prairie
who upset top-seeded Hayfield in
the semifinals.
The Knights were facing Fill-
more Central on Tuesday evening
in Austin at the Section 1A tour-
nament. The final round of play
will conclude on Thursday.
WEM
The Knights got a tough 2-0
win in the opening round of West
Section 1A play from Waterville-
Elysian-Morristown in Wana-
mingo, Tuesday.
We had runners on base all
night and finally punched some
runs across in the fifth inning,
said Coach Matt Nelson. Kailee
Berquam pitched very well and it
was a good win to start the play-
offs.
The Knights stranded five run-
ners on the base paths before scor-
ing in the fifth inning when, with
one out, Makayla Sokoloski and
Berquam (RBI) hit back-to-back
doubles and the Bucs committed
an error that scored one. But those
two runs were all they would need
as Berquam struck out 15, walked
one and gave up one hit.
Savannah Bleess led KW at the
plate going 2 for 3. Ellyn Beulke
and Shayla Berkner each had a
single.

KW and Randolph had played
the week before in non-confer-
ence action with nothing on the
line. The Knights won 2-0. This
time around KW had to work a
little harder, pulling out a come-
from-behind 4-3 victory in Ran-
dolph, Wednesday.
What a game and what a great
finish, remarked an excited Coach
Nelson. We have left way too
many runners on base so we need
to get a few more timely hits. But
Kailee (Berquam) pitched another
good one. Sydney (Klemish) called
a good game behind the plate.
Trailing 3-2 heading into the
top of the seventh, Makayla Soko-
loski led off the inning with a single.
With one out, Ellyn Beulke hit a
two-run homerun to give KW the
lead. The Rockets went down in
order in the bottom of the seventh
to give KW the win.
Kailee Berquam struck out 12,
walked none and gave up six hits.

By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND The New Ha-
ven Sodbusters 4-H Club has taken
on a major Community Pride
project this year. Club members
gathered together on May 3 at St.
Michaels Catholic Church to make
over 50 care blankets for chil-
dren who are patients at Mayo
Clinic Eugenio Litta Hospital in
Rochester.
The idea for the blanket project
was proposed to the club at a 4-H
meeting last October, by Youth
Leader Ryan Kohlmeyer and
Youth Leader Advisor Jan
McNallan. With the clubs ap-
proval and support, Kohlmeyer and
McNallan then sent in an applica-
tion to the Minnesota 4-H Foun-
dation, Helping Hands Grant.
Kohlmeyer wrote a letter of intent
and explained the purpose of the
care blankets. In March, the club
received news that the grant had
been approved and they were
awarded $350 in support of the
project. The 4-H club also held a
silent auction that raised $290 to
help benefit the project. At the
end of March, ten 4-H members
along with four parents went shop-
ping and purchased $819 worth
of fleece from Jo-Anns Fabric in
Rochester to make the tie blan-
kets. The club received a 25% dis-
count from JoAnns Fabric in sup-
port of the project.
During the construction of the
tie blankets, club members enjoyed
refreshments donated by Kwik Trip
in Pine Island that included milk,
juice and six dozen donuts. The
care blankets were crafted in three
different sizes in an assortment of
colors and patterns to accommo-
date children of various ages and
gender.
McNallan said it was nice to
see adults and 4-H members work-
ing together to lend a helping hand
for such a wonderful and needy
project. She hopes that by making
these blankets, the families of these
patients will know that others care
and want to give a helping hand.
McNallan said this care blankets
project has also added much depth
to the clubs community involve-
ment. Ryan has done a wonder-
ful job as a youth leader. He has
seen this project through from the
very beginning, and I have en-
joyed working with him on this
project. He really displayed lead-
ership qualities as he worked with
both youth and adults, she said.
Kohlmeyer said he plans on using
the care blankets project as his
Youth Leadership exhibit at the
Olmsted County Fair.
The Sodbusters club has a long
history when it comes to commu-
nity pride projects, including those
that have been short and long-term
commitments of service. Along
with the care blanket project, other
Community Pride projects have
included Adopt-A-Highway, Toys
for Tots, food shelf program,
Christmas caroling, Cookie Sun-
day at Pine Haven Care Center,
bake sale for cancer telethon, and
wrapping presents for the L.O.V.E.
Project.

Luke Davidson and Jonathan Horn,
will be performed at the historic
State Theatre in Zumbrota this Au-
gust. Auditions are scheduled for
June 7 at 2 p.m. and June 9 at 7:30
p.m. at the theatre. Set during late
1929 on the site of a run-down cir-
cus in desperate need of financial
assistance, the circus performers
endure numerous obstacles that pre-
vent them from putting on a show
including a mysterious killer who
is murdering the main circus acts.
Horn is currently majoring in
music composition and theatre at
Northwestern College in St. Paul.
He has written several compositions
for piano, as well as a few other
instruments. Horn wrote the music
for the show.
Davidson is studying musical the-
atre at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New
York. He has written screenplays
for a few short films, such as Crazy
About Macy, directed by Adam
Jacobs, which won Best Narrative
and Best of the Festival at the EDU
Film Festival in Minneapolis.
Davidson and Horn began writ-
ing the musical for fun in early 2012
while still high school students.
Davidson said, I dont think either
of us were expecting it to be per-
formed the following year when we
first started writing together. But
while a student at Perpich Center
for the Arts High School, Davidson
mentioned the musical endeavor to
his teachers. Their response was
surprising. My theatre teachers were
so interested, Davidson said, and
they told me that we should per-
form it at Perpich. I thought they
were joking at first, but as it turned
out, they were quite serious.
Over the next year the stories,
dialogue, and lyrics were tweaked
and cleaned up. Davidson said, It
was kind of a crazy process. But the
performance at Perpich was very
much a workshop project. Jonathan
and I are incredibly grateful to the
people at Perpich who made our
show possible because they really
helped us to make it the show that it
is today.
The production hit the Perpich
Center stage in 2013. Many people
from our area wanting to witness
Davidson and Horns musical were
unable to and requested it be per-
formed locally.
Davidson had performed in For-
ever Plaid at the State Theatre in
Zumbrota and enjoyed that experi-
ence, so the men set their sights on
bringing The Circus of Terror to
the theatre. Davidson said, The
people that are involved with the Z-
theatre are all friendly, dedicated,
local people that are enjoyable and
easy to work with. He also said the
State Theatre has the perfectly sized
stage for this production. Horn agreed
and said, The people at Z-Theatre
have been incredibly generous in
collab-orating with us on this project
and allowing us to use their space
and resources; we greatly appreci-
ate their commitments to local art-
ists!
Storyline
Bruce Bulgar, the greedy, con-
niving ringleader, begins the show
by singing a verse. The carnies and
other characters join him in a grand
performance. But during the per-
formance, Louie Laughingstock, the
circus best clown, suddenly dies.
Afterwards Eddy Biggar, the circus
assistant manager, along with other
characters, attempts to find the rea-
son behind Louies sudden death,
but are unable to. Officer Howard,
a bumbling, accident-prone police
officer, enters and announces that
there is a dangerous murderer loose
in the area, and he believes the mur-
derer is connected to the death of
Louie Laughingstock. The carnies
are thrown into frenzy, and Eddy
and Bruce are faced with the chal-
lenge of putting a show together in
three days in order to make some
money. Otherwise the tax collec-
tor, Ms. Zimmerman, will shut down
the circus.
The story involves many other
whacky twists and turns that leave
the audience wondering,
Whodunnit? Many personal se-
crets and feelings are revealed by
different characters as the story
progresses all because of the mur-
der of one clown.
Actors of all ages are needed.
Certain actors may be double-cast,
if necessary. Unsure of your vocal
chops? Davidson recommends you
audition anyway! He said, These
characters are larger-than-life, sati-
rized showbiz archetypes. Have fun!
Characters
Bruce Bulgar the greedy and
conniving circus leader. Voice type:
baritone (male) or alto (female).
Eddy Biggar the hard-working,
ambitious young male circus
managers assistant. Voice type:
lyric tenor, baritone.
Dolores Von Tuff emotional
leading female circus diva. Voice
type: soprano, mezzo-soprano.
Eleanor Dotson a talented and
independent young female singer.
Voice type: mezzo-soprano.
Gary Giggles an easily angered
clown. Voice type: baritone (male)
or alto (female).
Officer Howard a goofy, acci-
dent-prone, police-officer-in-train-
ing. This is a very physical, non-
singing role.
Willie a nave female animal
trainer with a tendency to be abu-
sive towards the animals. Voice type:
alto.
Wallace the circus veterinar-
ian who appears to be a dimwitted
buffoon but he has a secret that no
one knows. Voice type: baritone.
Mr./Mrs. Zimmerman the tax
collector. This is a non-singing role.
Louie Laughingstock a lovable
clown who mysteriously dies dur-
ing a performance. This is a non-
singing role.
Chorus of carnies a variety of
circus acts. You could be a clown, a
strongman, an acrobat, or a bearded
lady! Males and females with all
voice types needed.
Audition preparation
For auditions, prepare a song on
your own. The song can be any-
thing, but they highly suggest sing-
ing an upbeat, lyrical show tune.
Keep it short, one verse and a cho-
rus. An accompanist will be pro-
vided. Have sheet music prepared
for the accompanist in the key that
you would like to sing. In addition
to singing a song, actors will be
given a few lines to read in groups
of two or three.
If not interested in auditioning
for a leading role, the writers en-
courage you to still audition for a
part in the chorus. These vocalists
may sing without reading during
auditions.
Performances will be August 15-
17.
Ziprail planning on track
By Paul Martin
RED WING Trains could run
between the Twin Cities and Roch-
ester at up to 180 mph when ZipRail
is built, the Goodhue County Board
of Commissioners heard at its May
20 meeting. Praveena Pidaparthi
from MnDOT, and Zip Rail Project
Manager Charles Michael updated
commissioners about the project.
ZipRail would further the de-
velopment of Rochester as a cen-
ter for medical treatment and re-
search, and could eventually form
part of a high-speed rail network
linking the Twin Cities to Chi-
cago and other Midwest cities. With
the first studies completed, the
project now moves ahead to more
detailed planning and a full Envi-
ronmental Impact Study. Planners
will also work on the business case
to present to state and federal au-
thorities for funding.
In terms of routes, The uni-
verse centers on Coates, said
Michael. North of Coates, ap-
proaching the metro area, trains
would run at a maximum speed of
79 mph. Lines could run to MSP
airport, Union Depot in St. Paul,
or possibly both. South of Coates,
trains would run at full speed along
one of two corridors. One would
follow Hwy 56 and the line of the
old Chicago and Western Rail-
road, the other would follow Hwy
52, or a line slightly to the west of
it. The Hwy 56 route is less hilly,
and would be easier in terms of
right of way acquisition. The Hwy
52 route would come closer to
centers of population. Although
trains are planned only to run non-
stop from the Twin Cities to Roch-
ester, the line would have enough
capacity to run commuter rail ser-
vice in the distant future, with
possible stations at towns such as
Zumbrota and Cannon Falls.

and to sign up for updates, go to
the website http://www.goziprail.
org.
Road works
County commissioners ap-
proved an agreement with the City
of Pine Island and MNDot to share
the costs of a new roundabout on
Hwy 11 east of Hwy 52 in Pine
Island. This will provide a better
link from the city to the Elk Run
Project.
Work to replace the Prairie Creek
bridge on 330th St. in Stanton
Township starts May 26. 330th
St. will be closed until comple-
tion, planned for August 22.
Expect long-term lane closures
on Hwy 61 between Hwy 316,
east of Miesville, and Hwy 19 near
Red Wing due to resurfacing. Work
runs through August.
Other business
The number of feedlots in the
county registered with the state
has dropped from 724 to 595 in
the last four years, Goodhue County
Soil and Water District reported.
They believe that most are still
working, but have reduced their
operation to under 50 head of cattle
because of the high cost of cattle
feed. At that point, they are only
under county regulation. Others
have expanded their operation. Soil
and Water has also noticed more
specialization, such as feedlots with
heifers only.
The board approved payment
of the legal fees needed to rein-
state the Welch Village Septic
Cooperative, first started in 1998.
The board renewed the contract
with Minnesota Department of
Correction to house up to 50 in-
mates in the Goodhue County Jail.
Boarded inmates help fund the
running of the facility in Red Wing.

Pine Island
PI ag science and FFA students had a busy year
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND At the May
19 Pine Island School Board meet-
ing, agricultural science instruc-
tor Shawn Erickson reported on
the many activities in agricultural
science and Future Farmers of
America (FFA) this year. Students
are also participating in a Super-
vised Agricultural Experience
(SAE), which is an individual
project, and work cooperative ex-
periences, which combine class-
room education and practical ex-
perience.
FFA members participated in
Cheese Festival, Olmsted, and
Dodge County Fairs, and the Min-
nesota State Fair. They studied
wildlife, Employee-Right-to-
Know Regulations from OSHA,
natural resources, small animals,
veterinary animal care, agricul-
ture, food science, and animal sci-
ence. The students participated in
competitions for regional and state
FFA and trapshooting.
They provided Ag Week activi-
ties at the school. Elementary stu-
dents were treated to a petting zoo.
They provided a farm-to-table
experience for the elementary with
pizza for the students. They are
currently busy in the school court-
yard greenhouse.
Erickson will attend the CASE
(Curriculum for Agricultural Edu-
cation) Institute for teachers this
summer with a Rochester Area
Math Science Partnership grant.
The curriculum focuses on agri-
culture and resources, and is similar
to Project Lead The Way.
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND On May 19
the Pine Island School Board ap-
proved signing the purchase agree-
ment with Elk Farm Four, LLC
(of Tower Investments LLC) for
38.4 acres of land to construct the
new PreK-4 building and nine-
lane competitive track. The dis-
trict will pay $1 in cash for the
land. Elk Farm Four will consider
the remainder of the cost of the
property as a charitable donation
to the school.
Superintendent Tammy Berg-
Beniak said there were discussions
with the City of Pine Island and
the agreement was done in coop-
eration with the city, as well. Rep-
resentatives of the school are now
allowed to enter the property. The
school districts insurance was
extended to include it, and there
will soon be a sign reading, Fu-
ture home of Pine Island PreK-4
School.
The school district is respon-
sible for completing the environ-
mental reports for the land. Other
expenses can be expected prior to
the sale of the referendum bonds
because of the timeline of the
project. The board approved a reso-
lution to establish procedures to
repay any funds spent from the
proceeds of the school construc-
tion bond sale.
The school board met with con-
struction managers Kraus-Ander-
son after the referendum election
to discuss a timeline to construct
the new school. The July school
board meeting was rescheduled
to July 10 to award the bond sale.
In August, excavation work will
be started at the site. Building con-
struction will begin in Septem-
ber. The new school should be
finished to open for students in
September of 2015.

agreement with Tower Investments
Pine Island hears about DMC
from Rochester Chamber president
By David A. Grimsrud
PINE ISLAND The train
has left the station, said Jerry
Williams, interim president of the
Rochester Area Chamber of Com-
merce. He was referring to Roch-
ester and the Mayo
Clinic becoming the worlds
premier Destination Medical Cen-
ter. He spoke at the Pine Island
American Legion on Wednesday,
May 21.
Williams reported that over the
next 30 years, the Mayo Clinic
will invest $3.5 billion in its Roch-
ester medical and research facili-
ties. Thats more money than three
Vikings dome stadiums, Williams
added. In addition, private invest-
ment in Rochester will be $2.1
billion for hotels, hospitality, and
other things. Public investment
from the state will be $585 mil-
lion for transportation, site prepa-
ration, and infrastructure.
Over this period, 35,000 to
45,000 new jobs are projected, not
all medical related. $200 million
must be invested first before any
state money is given to the DMC
project.
The Rochester population is
expected to grow in twenty years
from 106,769 to 173,208. Will-
iams said that surrounding com-
munities will grow, as well. Many
people prefer smaller schools and
communities.
This was background informa-
tion. Williams then turned to the
main reason he was speaking in
Pine Island, one of the above-men-
tioned surrounding communities.
He asked, Why would the top
people in the medical/research
fields want to live in cold Minne-
sota? Research shows that people
move to communities for more
than just the job.
DMC planning sessions came
up with eight core pillars that
employees appreciate. They are:
Livable city, retail, and dining
Hotels and hospitality
Entertainment, arts, and cul-
ture
Commercial, research, and
technology
Health and wellness
Learning environment
Sports, recreation, and nature
Transportation
Considering the combination of
medical and research facilities, a
convention center, new Univer-
sity of Minnesota site, hotels/hos-
pitality, and a government center
all in close proximity to the down-
town, future transportation/park-
ing needs will be enormous.
Research shows that many em-
ployees prefer to live within walk-
ing distances to work; therefore,
high density housing is planned.
The impact of both spouses
working is reflected in the distances
traveled to the Mayo Clinic.
1,274 employees come from Min-
neapolis and 1,268 from St.
Paul. Some come from the north-
ern Twin Cities suburbs, as well.
Cannon Falls markets itself as being
an ideal half-way place to re-
side.
Williams complimented Pine
Island on passing its school build-
ing referendum and added that
quality teachers are a must when
competing for these new Mayo
Clinic employees. Williams, be-
ing a distance runner himself, made
note of Pine Islands connection
to the Douglas Trail. A person in
the audience added the importance,
too, of Pine Islands 18-hole golf
course.
Williams said that churches were
not directly listed but he assured
the audience that they were rolled
into the existing pillars.
He issued both encouragement
and a challenge to Pine Island to
consider the eight pillars that at-
tract people to reside in a commu-
nity.

PINE ISLAND To allow time
for improvements to the flood
buyout property on CSAH #11 and
at the Douglas Trail Park, the
Cheese Festival Committee made
plans for the event to remain on
Main Street in downtown Pine
Island for another year.
On May 20, the city council
approved the committees request
to close South Main Street from
2nd Street to 5th Street for the
festival. The street will be closed
from June 5 at noon until June 9 at
8 a.m.
City Clerk Jon Eickhoff said that
since Main Street is a county road,
the committee needs to request
the closing from Goodhue County.
The approval is to acknowledge
the citys awareness.
Randy Bates asked if the street
will be open for the businesses
that afternoon. Steve Oelkers of
Public Works said the festival will
set up to the south first. The street
will not be completely closed un-
til 4 or 5 p.m.
Rick Keane presented a request
from the Cheese Festival Com-
mittee for a permit for the annual
fireworks display on the school
soccer fields. The fireworks will
be set off on Friday, June 6, at
dusk with a rain date of Sunday,
June 8. As in previous years, pyro-
technicians from J and M Displays
of Yarmouth, Iowa, will shoot the
fireworks. The Pine Island Fire
Department has agreed to provide
protection against fire. The coun-
cil approved a permit for the fire-
works display.

ZED proposals for the future, the
tablet program and repairs, trans-
portation issues, the calendar, feed-
back from OSHA and the fire
marshal, putting Wi-Fi in the buses
for homework, decreasing insur-
ance costs, and legislative
updates. Jackie Walter will serve

Pine Island High School
students compete in Envirothon
PIHS Envirothon team members are Coach Megan Schimek, Kelly Leibold, Emalie Stolp, Adam Barsness, and
Peter Beach. Not pictured: Kayla Sneller.
By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND Six Pine Is-
land High School students com-
peted in the 2014 Southeastern
Minnesota Envirothon. Emalie
Stolp, Kelly Leibold, Kayla Sneller,
Peter Beach, and Adam Barsness
participated in the regional event
on May 7 at Alexander Park in
Faribault. The PIHS team, coached
by biology teacher Megan
Schimek, then advanced to the state
competition on May 19 at St. Johns
University, placing eighth out of
28 teams.
Leibold was very impressed with
the competition, saying Enviro-
thon really illustrated for me the
real-world connections between
the classroom and the environment
around us. It was a refreshing ex-
perience to work with such a di-
versity of students, and where some
had agriculture backgrounds, oth-
ers had chemistry knowledge! We
worked great as a team and made
some great memories along the
way.
Envirothon is an outdoor, hands-
on learning experience for high
school students. It centers around
five different learning stations
(soils, wildlife, water resources,
forestry, and current environmental
issues), each of which are staffed
by professionals on that subject.
At a teach station, teams com-
posed of five students answer ques-
tions on the subject. Since the event
takes place outdoors, questions
involve actual contact with natu-
ral resources. An oral presenta-
tion was also part of the days ac-
tivities.
Pine Island approves rezoning for
Dollar General Store on CSAH #11
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND On May 20,
the Pine Island City Council ap-
proved rezoning lot 2, block 2 of
J&D Storage from I-1 (Heavy In-
dustrial) to C-1 (Central Business
District) for a proposed 9,100
square foot Dollar General retail
store. The public hearing for the
rezoning of the property was held
by Planning and Zoning on May
13.
The council approved a request
to vacate 19.64 feet of 1st Street
NE directly abutting the property
and replatting J&D Storage, First
Addition for the store. The pro-
posed building will be set back
farther from County State Aid
Highway #11 than other buildings
to accommodate turning delivery
trucks.
The public hearing to vacate this
portion of 1st Street NE was also
held by Planning and Zoning on
May 13. The owner of property in
the area voiced concerns about
future traffic on the street and water
drainage issues. City building in-
spector Tom Thompson will re-
view site plans as these are sub-
mitted to ensure that sufficient
storm water management is in-
cluded in the plans.
Highway 52/East Frontage Road
updates
City Engineer Neil Britton re-
ported that the council will award
the bid for the Highway 52/East
Frontage Road project to a con-
tractor at a special council meet-
ing on June 3 at 7 p.m. at City
Hall.
He has been investigating LED
lighting for the streets in the project.
Originally the lighting selected
matched the lights on Main Street.
However, these LED lights were
too costly.
The council authorized the sign-
ing of an agreement with the Min-
nesota Department of Transpor-
tation and Olmsted and Goodhue
Counties to designate responsi-
bilities for the CSAH #11 inter-
section roundabout. Pine Island
will maintain the roundabout. The
county must reconstruct it if nec-
essary.
Other business
The city council recognized
Janice Prescher for her 32 years
of service as the deputy registrar
at city hall. The City of Pine Is-
land presented her with a clock
with a plaque.
Morgan Hansen reported that
the Van Horn Library roof was
finished. There has been increased
attendance in the programs offered
and at the library in general.
The council approved allowing
Rod Steele to install a handicapped
ramp to replace the steps on the
south side of 246 South Main Street,
which is an encroachment to 250
South Main Street (city hall). Jon
Eickhoff said that Steeles prop-
erty line is at the brick of his build-
ing. Planning and Zoning recom-
mended allowing the ramp as an
improvement to the current situa-
tion.
Steve Oelkers reported that
sludge was hauled from the waste
treatment plant; air conditioners
will be installed at Evergreen Place;
grinding mulch with soon begin
at the brush dump; the old chlori-
nators must be replaced at the plant;
and the entire street maintenance
budget has been spent on potholes
and patching. He recommended
visiting Kasson to see their LED
lights. In June the large swimming
pool pump and pool chlorination
pump will be replaced.
The city council approved:

mance measurement program

Eickhoff presents PI
Fire Department report
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND On May 20,
Fire Chief Jon Eickhoff presented
the 2013 Pine Island Fire Depart-
ment report to the city council.
The mission of the department
is to protect and preserve the life
and property of the people it serves.
It is committed to providing emer-
gency services, strong public re-
lations, and fire safety training.
The department is dedicated to
protecting and preserving the health
and safety of members, and re-
turning them safely to their fami-
lies. Eickhoff said, The safety of
our crew comes first.
The department is manned by
volunteers. There are 26 staff
members. 23 are Firefighter I cer-
tified. 21 are Firefighter II certi-
fied. There are eight Instructors
(I) and four officers (I). There are
six EMTs, 13 First Responders,
and a few in EMT training. There
will soon be two more EMTs.
The department completed 1,362
hours of specific fire training. They
must be trained on hazardous
materials and confined areas. They
completed 643 hours of medical
training and 179 hours of other
training.
The department responded to
258 service calls which included
20 fires, 13 hazardous (gas, elec-
trical, etc.), six false alarms, and
189 medical calls. There were also
false alarms and cancelled calls.
The average response time was 3
minutes 11 seconds within the city
and 5 minutes 21 seconds in the
township.
Below is the current list of equip-
ment at the fire department.
Eickhoff said they are giving the
Gamma Goat back to the Depart-
ment of Natural Resources because
New Haven Township purchased
a vehicle to replace it. The depart-
ment could get rid of the 1971
GMC Reserve Pumper that no
longer holds water. Another ve-
hicle would be put into reserve.
The firefighters need new turnout
gear, which will cost about
$100,000.
City owned equipment:
City pumper reserve engine:
750 gallons per minute (gpm), will

Miller hired as Pine Island
girls basketball coach
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND On May 19
the Pine Island School Board ap-
proved a recommendation from
Activities Director Craig Ander-
son to hire Scott Miller as the head
coach for girls basketball. Miller
worked with Rick Canton coach-
ing the team and in summer pro-
grams. He was the assistant girls
varsity coach. He lives in Pine Is-
land and teaches in Kasson.
The board approved hiring
Katherine Susa for the high school
language arts teacher. She ex-
pressed an interest in working with
the students in theatre.
The school board approved a
recommendation from Superinten-
dent Tammy Berg-Beniak to add
a 1.0 FTE teacher on special as-
signment for a dean of students,
curriculum advisor, and the inte-
gration and achievement program
for middle school. Half of the fund-
ing for the position would come
from the integration and achieve-
ment grant. Grant writing could
be included in this position, de-
pending on the applicants. This
position will be posted internally
first.
K-8 principals report
Principal Cindy Hanson reported
that next year middle school will
return to an eight-period day. Multi-
tiered Systems of Supports will
be integrated into the day.
The teacher evaluation pilot
program will continue into fall.
Student learning data must be in-
cluded in the evaluation. Pine Is-
land Education Association do-
nated funds for a team to meet in
June to create an evaluation plan
for 2014-15.
This year students cleaned city
parks and yards for senior resi-
dents for City-Wide Clean Up.
These were more suitable activi-
ties because students did not need
to work along roads.
The FCCLA organized the Jump
Rope for Heart campaign. They
presented a virtual assembly and
organized the jumping at recess.
The students raised $9004.61 for
the American Heart Association.
Community education
Director Kelly Barker provided
a summary of community educa-
tion services. School readiness
preschool enrollment increased
from 66 with six staff in 2007 to
120 with seven staff this year.
Participation at special events and
Outreach 15+ events has increased
from 500-700 in 2007 to 700-1,000
per year. School-age childcare has
grown from 81 with 12 staff to
130 with 27 staff. This program is
expected to continue to grow.
Afterschool and early out partici-
pation is also expected to grow.
Last year 67 students participated
in the summer reading program
with six staff. Participation this
year is yet to be determined.
There was a long season at the
ice rink due to the unusually cold
weather. This is the first year the
ice never melted. Originally there
were four employees involved for
the rink, now there are six.
The sharing shelf evolved to be
renamed Panther Holiday Help-
ers. The program served 15 fami-
lies in 2007. It now serves 33 fami-
lies.
Community education also in-
cludes ECFE, Adult Basic Edu-
cation, life-time learning oppor-
tunities, community classes and
activities, and preschool to adult
enrichment and field trips.
Pine Island has a Four Star Par-
ent Aware program for preschool.
This qualifies the district for Path-
way Grants for Olmsted County
families. This year there were iPads
in Early Childhood classrooms.
Early Childhood Professional
Learning Communities (PLCs) are
developing.
Other business
Donations of $500 from the Pine
Island Fire Department and $125
from BevComm for the ice rink
were accepted by the school board.
The school board approved:
Renewing the membership to
MSHSL (Minnesota State High
School League) for 2014-15
A private party providing con-
cessions for softball and baseball
only for this summer
Development of Parental In-
volvement Policies for Title I Pro-
grams
The process and format to com-
plete Superintendent Tammy Berg-
Beniaks annual evaluation by July
1
Moving to the District Con-
ference at the end of meetings to
discuss building construction up-
dates
Berg-Beniak suggested using the
stored beef that was purchased last
year for a staff appreciation event.
The school board agreed with us-
ing the meat, rather than continu-
ing to store it. She recommended
looking at the open enrollment
policy and cap levels for grades.
April Bailey, Angie Heiden, and
Rob Warneke will serve on the
negotiations committee for the
principals, cabinet, and non-li-
censed personnel. Kerry Hayden,
John Champa, and Kim Fall will
serve on the facility committee
for the construction. Kim Fall and

Angie Heiden will work with the
PreK-4 facility advisory team. Kim
Fall and Kerry Hayden will work
with the activities/athletics team.

Kenyon-Wanamingo Graduates
By Alicia Hunt-Welch
KENYON Imagine a program
that could help students better un-
derstand the global world they live
in and break down cultural barriers
while educating and preparing them
for life in a technology driven soci-
ety. At Kenyon-Wanamingo School
students in Adam Kuehnels sev-
enth and eighth grade English classes
have experienced just that through
a global partnership with schools
around the world. From exchang-
ing electronic letters with kids in
Tanzania to sharing essays with stu-
dents in Alaska, Kuehnels global
classroom has broadened the hori-
zon of learning for students both at
KW and around the Earth.
Kuehnel first got the idea for a
global classroom while pursuing a
masters degree in architecture at
the University of Minnesota. He said,
As we studied the work of con-
temporary architecture firms, we
learned that many firms are open-
ing global offices in order to take
advantage of a continuous work day.
In essence, when the office in New
York closes at the end of the day, all
of the project documents are for-
warded to an office in Beijing, and
then on to Amsterdam, and then on
to New York again. In this way,
projects are completed at a rapid
rate.
Kuehnel was also inspired by the
book Hot, Flat and Crowded by
Thomas Friedman. Friedman de-
veloped the idea that technology has
flattened the planet, he said. What
was once sent by sailing ship, horse-
drawn carriage, or plane could now
be sent digitally and instantly and
virtually for free. I began thinking,
how can this type of information
flow improve the work of students
and teachers alike? If we as teach-
ers are supposed to be preparing
our students to be active partici-
pants in their community, and if tech-
nology has flattened the world, then
it makes sense that we should be
preparing our students to be active
participants in a global community.
Kuehnel was hired by KW School
in July 2009 and at that time was
amazed by the technology invest-
ments in the district, which made
opportunities for a global program
possible. The teacher brought his
idea to the principal and received
the go-ahead. Kuehnel said, I drafted
a letter of introduction and explained
the focus of the program. Then I
researched schools around the globe.
The United States Department of
State has connections to almost 200
schools in every continent. Kuehnel
started sending letters but saw little
response. He then targeted a small
town English teacher and saw a bit
of interest, but not enough to get the
project off the ground.
Then in 2011, he made contact
with a teacher in Anchorage, Alaska,
who agreed to give the project a try.
Kuehnel designed a tool kit cur-
riculum in which students wrote
about themselves, their families, their
towns, and their culture. The KW
essays were exchanged with stu-
dents in Alaska. Kuehnel said, It
was exciting for me as a teacher to
share in the excitement of the stu-
dents as they read about someone
their age in another part of the world.

The special guest speaker for the
event was KW alum Katy Vrieze.
The 2013-14 KW NHS officers
were president Kyla Kincaid, vice-
president Bailey Auseth, secretary
Madeline Anfinson, and treasurer
Sydney Klimesh. The KW NHS
advisor is Rich Kincaid.
KW teacher implements global classroom
a seaplane to school because she
lived on an island. Several students
wrote about salmon fishing and
hunting. Of course, there were con-
nections of music, sports, video
games, television shows, and fam-
ily life.
This year Kuehnels students be-
gan working with students in North
Carolina. He has also set his sights
on creating classroom partnerships
with students in Uganda, the Demo-
cratic Republic of Congo, Tanza-
nia, and some South Pacific Islands.
But technology is limited in some
of these countries and therefore the
project has its challenges. Another
issue is the varying school year cal-
endar of equatorial schools, differ-
ent from Minnesotas September to
June calendar. And of course there
are language barriers that must be
taken into account, but even online
translators can help with this issue,
Kuehnel said.
As the school invested in one-to-
one technology, Kuehnel said
Google Chrome is also opening new
doors in this project. By using
Chrome, there is a possibility of
setting up live discussion forums,
he said. It is neat to watch students
putting their ideas together.
Links to global classroom stu-
dents essays can be found on
Kuehnels page on the KW school
website at www.kw.k12.mn.us.

Goodhue
By R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE At the Goodhue
City Council meeting on May 14,
Stacy Thuman reported on the latest
accomplishments of the swimming
pool meeting. At the pool meet-
ing it was decided to renovate the
bath house. The current structure
was given a good rating on its foun-
dation and walls, but the plans call
for a major change in room lay-
out, so I & S Group drew up plans
on a bath house.
The city council decided to ac-
cept the plan for the renovation of
the bath house. They further de-
cided to solicit bids separately for
the pool construction and to act as
the general contractor for the bath
house renovation. They then ap-
pointed Thuman to the position of
coordinator of the project. She
will start with soliciting donations
and volunteers for the project.
Garbage license
Local resident Jordan Erickson
approached the council to get a
license to collect garbage in
Goodhue. There was a discussion
and it was stated that there is one
license available from the city and
that is held by Gibsons Sanita-
tion.
At the moment Dale Gibson has
not signed a contract, but starting
in January 2014 the city verbally
promised Gibsons Sanitation an
additional five years to pay for
their new can collection system.
Jordan was asked to come back
when this period is over.
Fitgerald Excavating
City engineer Andy Brandel
reported that Fitzgerald Excavat-
ing has dropped off papers for the
bonds and insurance necessary for
the Third Street project. There
will be a pre-construction meet-
ing at 5 p.m. on May 28.
The project is set to begin on
June 16 and must be completed
by October 17. There is the stan-
dard MNDOT fine of $1,200 per
day if the job is not completed on
time.
Third Street sidewalks
The sidewalk on both sides of
Third Street will be replaced. Areas
without sidewalks will stay with-
out sidewalks. In areas where the
sidewalk has damage from trees,
the trees will be removed. The
city will replace water and sewer
pipes that are on city property, but
the home owner is responsible for
all water and sewer pipes on their
property.
GOODHUE LIONS
Continued from front page
governors. Bien also was council
chair. One other charter member,
Gerald Lefty OReilly, also was
recognized.
Keynote speaker at the event
was Past International Director
Brian Sheehan of Bird Island, who
cited the Goodhue groups many
accomplishments as a primary
reason why the club still exists.
It is a big deal, the things that
you do, he said. We believe in
this club... The Goodhue Lions
have figured out how to make
things happen. The world has
changed greatly since 1964,

Other business
The actual walking trail is not
the same as the original trail ease-
ment. To correct this, the firm of
Samuelson Surveying, Inc. of
Cannon Falls was hired to survey
the trail. This has been completed
and the findings have been re-
corded.
The city issued liquor licenses
to the Corner Bar & Grill and Dars
Pub.
Goodhue Police Officer Michele
Clements reported that National
Family Night Out will be held on
Tuesday, August 5. This is the
opening day of the Goodhue
County Fair.
It was noted that Verizon still
has not paid for the alterations made
to the water tower that were nec-
essary to support their antennas.
City attorney Dick Gorman will
write a letter to Verizon for this
payment and to get them to cor-
rect water drainage on the tower.
The next regular city council
meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, May 28.
Sheehan pointed out, but clubs like
Goodhues continue to be strong.
Were all family, he said, point-
ing out the importance of respect
and trust, communication, team-
work and maintaining a positive
attitude.
The club today has 107 mem-
bers, which is about eight percent
of the entire Goodhue population.
Current president is Richard
Bigelow.
Also speaking and presenting
awards at the banquet were Inter-
national Director Mike Melinda
of Rosemount and District Gov-
ernor Earl Orvik of Adams.

BERNE Celebrating its third
year, Berne Wood-Fired Pizza will
kick off on Wednesday, June 4,
with a special performance by Les
Fields and the Turkey River All-
Stars Dixieland at 6:30 p.m. Berne
Wood-Fired Pizza is located out-
doors next to the Zwingli United
Church of Christ in Berne, just a
few miles west of Pine Island off
County Road 24.
New this year will be an addi-
tional brick oven to accommodate
growing popularity. The second
oven is expected to be ready by
mid June. Berne Wood-Fired Pizza
is also partnering this year with
St. Paul Lutheran Church and
Minneola Lutheran Church which
will add eight extra volunteers to
the twenty current volunteers who
will be helping each Wednesday
during the event.
Berne Wood-Fire Pizza events
are picnic style. Some tables and
benches are available on the
grounds, but visitors are encour-
aged to bring their own lawn chairs
or blankets. Pop, water, and chips
will be available for purchase, or
visitors are welcome to bring their
own refreshments including wine
or beer. Besides the free concerts
there are also some outdoor lawn
games for families to enjoy. A
merchandise stand selling a vari-
ety of items such as ice cream, t-
shirts, and an assortment of knick-
knacks is also available.
Pizza is cooked rain or shine.
Orders are taken between the hours
of 5-8 p.m. each Wednesday
night. Some indoor seating is avail-
able, if necessary, and pizza can
be taken to go. No call-ahead or-
ders will be taken and credit cards
are not accepted. In case of rain,
concerts will be held in the lower
level of the church.
All workers are volunteers or
members of the Zwingli Church
and all proceeds go toward the
church. Some of the funds raised
will help benefit five non-profit
organizations including the St. Paul
and Minneola Lutheran Churches
Baja Mission Trip.
Musicians will perform on the
outdoor stage every Wednesday
night starting at 6:30 p.m. From
blues and jazz to rockn-roll to
country, there is something for
everyone. This years concert line-
up includes:
June 4 Les Fields and the Tur-
key River All-Stars

Proposed county ordinance
could sink Oronoco home sales
By Karen Snyder
ORONOCO The Olmsted
County Board is considering a new
ordinance that could hinder real
estate transactions in Oronoco. Its
a big deal, said City Engineer Joe
Palen at the May 20 city council
meeting.
The proposed law, Subsurface
Sewage Treatment System Ordi-
nance for Olmsted County (SSTS),
would forbid selling a house un-
less its septic system passes an
inspection. If it doesnt pass, the
sale must wait until the system
gets fixed or replaced.
As the biggest small town in
Minnesota without municipal
sewer service, Oronoco is upset
by SSTSs restrictiveness. The
citys houses and businesses use
individual septic systems, many
obsolete and/or failing.
Whats more, the city is work-
ing on a plan to build a wastewa-
ter treatment facility. Nothings
definite yet, but the plan is pro-
gressing. If the county passes SSTS,
Oronoco wants an exemption.
Septic systems cost a lot. It
would be a hardship to spend
$15,000 to $20,000, if the owners
have that ability, or else not be
able to sell their houses, Palen
said. Then if the municipal sewer
goes through, theyll have to spend
several thousand dollars more to
connect. People will be angry.
We dont need this for our resi-
dents, and I think its important to
make that case to the county.
Oronoco does intend to make
its case, to John Harford, Super-
visor for Development and Re-
view Services Division of the
Rochester/Olmsted Planning De-
partment. Harford will attend the
Oronoco Water and Sewer Com-
mittee meeting on May 27.
SSTS will be the subject of public
hearings, too. The Olmsted County
Environmental Commission will
hold a hearing, 7:15-9:30 p.m.,
Wednesday, June 18, in the Cas-
cade/Whitewater rooms, Public
Health Services Building, 2100
Campus Drive S.E., Rochester.
Later this summer the Olmsted
County Board will also have a
public hearing.
Peoples Co-op can keep
its not-so-fancy fence
An agreement between Oronoco
and Peoples Energy Co-op speci-
fied that a colored or coated fence
be installed around the companys
new solar array, but when the site
changed, the builder put in a plain
chain link fence instead.
The council, unhappy with the
switch, discussed the aesthetics,
insisting on landscaping to pret-
tify the view, and voted 2 to 1 to
allow the unadorned fence.
Councilor Jayne Krause voted
no; Mayor Kevin McDermott ab-
stained because he works for
Peoples, and councilor Nathan
Hartung cautioned the builders
representative, Ill be watching.
National Night Out
The last two years Oronocos
National Night Out celebration won
Best In Olmsted County honors,
and now the town is going for three.
The August 5 event will have food,
prizes, a giant slide, and a bounce
house.
For sliding and bouncing equip-
ment rental, councilors chose the
lowest bid, $528 by Jolly Jumpz.
Oronoco Area History Center
The Oronoco Area History Cen-
ter has a lot of treasures, Carole
Wells told the council. The center
started in 2006 and is working on
getting 501(c)(3) designation.
Its display at the community
center features items and infor-
mation relating to Oronocos early
settlers and businesses. The his-
tory center is open 10 a.m. - noon,
second Saturdays of the month,
and by appointment. Its web ad-
dress is oronocoarea history.org,
and its on Facebook. We invite
you to come see, Wells said.
Other business
The city will send letters to
owners of residences still not con-
nected to the municipal water sys-
tem. Those who fail to meet the
July 31 deadline will be assessed
penalties.
An FYI from Mayor
McDermott: Oronoco Township
approved the building of an eques-
trian center in the township, just
outside the city.
The council unanimously ac-
cepted:
The low bid, $117,920 by
Aslaksons Blacktopping Service,
to pave the streets in the Cedar
Woodlands I subdivision.
The only bid submitted for
trash collection. The current hauler,
Advanced Disposal, got the job
again. The company raised its rates
but offered free pickup for Gold
Rush Days. The mayor accepted
with thanks. Thats a big savings
for us, he said.

N22-1a
Welch campground to stay closed
By Paul Martin
RED WING At its May 20
meeting, the Goodhue County
Board of Commissioners addressed
problems with Corey Axelson,
owner and operator of Hidden
Valley Campground. The popu-
lar family business, which lies on
the banks of the Cannon River in
Welch, has been run by Axelson
and his father for over 50 years.
Axelson has crossed swords re-
peatedly with state and county
regulators over the last few years,
however, and has also suffered
damage and erosion in the severe
floods of the last four years.
The meeting was a follow-up to
the lengthy public hearing of April
1, at which staff detailed a long
list of violations, failed negotia-
tions and missed deadlines in their
dealings with Axelson. The county
alleges that Axelson expanded the
campground in the area and num-
ber of sites without approval; op-
erated a campground without a
license; and lacks the state-required
permit for the camps sewage sys-
tem.
As on April 1, the meeting took
on a courtroom atmosphere.
County and state staff were sworn
in, and the county court recorder
documented all documents pre-
sented, and all that was said. Once
again, commissioners heard staff
report that no substantial progress
had been made since that hearing,
at which they had given Axelson
until May 20 to agree with staff
on a specific and workable plan
for coming into compliance.
Axelson spoke for an hour in
response, expressing frustration
with county staff, who he feels
have singled him out, and say
one thing when you meet with them
face to face, and another when
they come before the county
board. Surrounded by mounds
of documents, he moved back and
forth between blaming the state
and county, and listing things he
has done and plans to do. He also
claimed that the conditional use
permit now in dispute covers only
one of the five tax parcels that
make up the campground. He said,
The rest is a legal, non-conform-
ing use, because it was in use as a
campground before the Cannon
River was given Wild and Scenic
designation. Chairman Ron Allen
asked, So you think that if we
revoke your CUP, you can still
operate on the rest of the area?
Yes, said Axelson, and let
people enjoy day use of the whole
area.
He was unable to answer most
of the countys complaints. Chal-
lenged by County Attorney Steve
Betcher to produce a written plan
of action, he said he had none.
Its all in my head, he said.
Commissioners believe they
have done everything in their power
to work with Axelson, and give
him time to put things right at Hid-
den Valley. Commissioner Jim
Bryant defended county land use
and planning staff. They are de-
tailing what needs to be done to
correct what is wrong, he said. I
hoped you would come here to-
day and say you are prepared to
work with them. We have been
working on the same issues for
years. Commissioner Dan
Rechtizigel finally cut off debate,
and proposed the motion to re-
voke Axelsons permit to oper-
ate. Only Commissioner Ted
Seifert dissented, believing that
Axelsons claim that investors are
close to putting money in and help-
ing manage the campground mer-
ited an extension until August. The
vote to revoke was 3 to 1.
After the meeting, Axelson told
this reporter, My next step is an
appeal to the State Appellate Court.
We did that in 2012, and I won.
Sheriff McNurlin
seeks re-election
Sheriff Scott McNurlin an-
nounced on May 20 that he will
seek another term as Goodhue
County Sheriff. Sheriff McNurlin
is a thirty-year veteran of the
Goodhue County Sheriffs Office,
and he is currently in the fourth
year of his first term as sheriff.
McNurlin remarked, It has truly
been a privilege to serve the people
of Goodhue County for the past
thirty years and most recently as
your sheriff. I am enthusiastically
looking forward to the opportu-
nity to continue my service to our
citizens.
