Art on Main event raises nearly $12,000 for State Theatre

By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA After providing a summer long art gallery throughout Zumbrota, the
24 original art pieces and their
banner reproductions were sold
during silent auctions at the Art
on Main celebration on Friday
evening, September 18. The sale
of the artwork, along with six
special experiences, resulted in
$11,950 which will go toward
the expansion of the State Theatre. The well attended event,
sponsored by the Zumbrota
Area Arts Council (ZAAC), was
held at Stary-Yerka VFW Post
5727.
Throughout the evening, attendees enjoyed music provided
by the CBB Jazz Combo and a
variety of food provided by
Bridgets Caf, Coffee Mill
Restaurant, Tankers Grill, and
Firebrick Bread.
The silent bidding for the
original artwork wrapped up a
half-hour before the banner
bidding ended. Each of the silent auctions raised over $3000.
A successful live auction followed with the final grand total exceeding the $10,000 goal
for the event.
Theatre expansion
chased in 2011 by ZAAC

through generous donations
from the community. During the
evening, Kevin Kish, advisor
for the project, explained that
Phase II began approximately
six months ago and was now at
the point of beginning the addition to the theatre. The expansion will be to the west side of
the building and will provide
additional restrooms, a lobby,
and a concession area.
We have enough to get
started, Kish announced.
Money is available to get the
addition up and closed in with
plumbing, heating and electric.
However, an additional $40,000
to $50,000 is needed to complete the interior, including tile,
cabinetry, and bar/concession
area. Permits for sewer and water
have been obtained. Though the
addition will go to within a few
feet of the existing building next
door that is owned by The Zumbrota Telephone Company, Kish
said the owners are in favor of
the project. The Hanson family (owners) have been generous donors and supporters, said
Kish. A ground-breaking occasion (date to be determined) will
be held to begin the project.

Pine Island is under consideration for

Veterans and Emergency Services Museum
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND On September 15, the planning committee
for the Minnesota Veteran and
Emergency Services Museum
(MVESM) gave a presentation to
the Pine Island City Council. They
are interested in building the museum in Pine Island on Highway
52 because of its location between
the Twin Cities and Rochester.
Those to be honored in the museum are military veterans, police, fire personnel, and emergency
medical services personnel statewide, from the 1850s to the present.
The members of the MVESM
Board of Directors that came to
city hall were Tom Hosier, Dudley
Parson, Al Dollershell, John
Perkins, Dana Hlebich, and Tom
Beniak. The museum has been in

the planning since 2008 when a
group of citizens decided to build
a museum to complement Soldiers
Field Memorial that was established in Rochester in 1995.
The MVESM Board of Directors was formed in 2011. It became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in December 2012. A feasibility study for the MVESM was
completed in March 2014. The
board brought designs from architects to show the city council
their preliminary plans.
MVESM Board President Tom
Hosier told the council, Our mission statement is to honor the men,
women, and institutions that protect our way of life, and to preserve and interpret their histories.
He said MVESM will be the

first museum of its kind dedicated
to honoring the military, law enforcement, and emergency service
providers in the United States.
They decided that Rochester
does not have the space necessary
for the building, large outdoor
exhibits and facilities, peace gardens, parking, and room for expansion. Pine Island has space and
open land. Currently, more than
25,000 cars pass Pine Island on
Highway 52 each day. There are
travelers and visitors to the Mayo
Clinic looking for things to do.
The museum would also be a regional meeting place and have
educational facilities for schools
and research.
Some of the museums planned
features are exhibits (inside and

outside), archives, a research library, a conservation lab and workshop, a multi-faith chapel, a coffee shop, a restaurant, a snack bar,
a dining room for catering, classrooms, meeting facilities, an auditorium, event venues, shops,
peace gardens, and an indoor memorial.
Hosier said the museum will
have changing exhibits. They are
storing artifacts important to Minnesota history, and the Minnesota
Historical Society, Camp Ripley,
and Sullivan Museum (Waterloo,
Iowa) will send some of their stored
exhibits for MVESM to share.
And we would like to share back,
Hosier said.
Mayor Rod Steele asked about
job creation from the project. To
run the museum would require
sixteen full-time employees, some
part-time employees, and volunteers.
John Perkins said, The museum
can be a focal point for the entire
district. It will draw a store and
restaurant. In Rochester we were
looking at one building and one
business. In Pine Island, out here,
we are looking at bare land.
Perkins founded Gold Cross Ambulance Service in the 1960s. There
is a 1949 ambulance and equipment for medical care. He said
many breakthroughs in emergency
care, aeronautics, and the military
evolved from earlier research at
Mayo Clinic. There are many tieins from the local area for MVESM.
There will be some history of Mayo.
Steele asked, What do you want
from us? Hosier answered, A
site. This will increase interest and
bring in funds. He said there was
some interest at the legislature.
We have a feasibility study now
and displays, and once we have a
site we can finish a marketing
plan If there is state funding,
the property could be a match for
any state funds, he said.

Minnesota Veterans and Emergency Services Museum contact

ALS facts and info

From
Devils
Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher
By now you know that my wife

Phyllis died of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). According
to the statistics and history of ALS,
someone else has now been diagnosed with ALS. ALS is known
as an orphan disease. That is, so
few have it that no one can afford
to study it unless something special happens. The Mayo Clinic has
been studying ALS for about 100
years. When Lou Gehrig came to
the Mayo Clinic to find out what
was wrong with his body, Mayo
was already well known for studying the disease.
Mayo has one medicine available, which may or may not help
the patient. They have invented
many technical aids to help the
patient live easier. These solutions dont cure the disease, just
possibly slow it down. As your
bodys motor nerves die, your

muscles get weaker. ALS attacks
your voluntary nerves and muscles.
This means your hands, feet, arms,
legs and any muscle that you can
control is affected. You can hold
your breath but you cant stop your
heart beating. So you lose your
diaphragm but not your heart. The
final statistic is, from diagnosis
to death is an average of two years.
Lou Gehrig lasted two years. Bruce
Kramer was a Dean and Professor
at the University of St. Thomas.
He lasted 4-1/2 years. Phylliss
time was two years, eight months.
The truly hard part is living and
watching someone die, knowing
that you cannot do anything truly
helpful to fight the disease. We
have a grandson (Ethan) who is
now 4. When he and his parents
first came to visit after the diagnosis, he was amazing. He would
take over taking care and being
with Bubbee (Yiddish for grandmother). He would talk to her, hold
her sippy cup, and watch TV with
her. It is hard to imagine a two- to
four-year-old being that caring and
attentive. He is an amazing grand-
son; his parents are pretty good as

well (Simmi and Mike Urbanek).
This last year, the ALS Association nationally tried something
new in fundraising. The dumping water on people game; of
course some people paid to not
get wet while others volunteered
to get soaked by their friends
for money. Normally the national
campaign raised about $1 million.
This last year, they raised $100
million! Get prepared to either soak
or get soaked and beat the total!
Phyllis remained positive and
hopeful throughout her time with
ALS. She was a private person
who loved her family, especially
her grandchildren. She didnt work
for glory but rather truth and knowledge. She didnt care for awards;
she just wanted to move the boundary of knowledge forward and out.
She did that and more. I have had
50 plus years of being with her
and two years watching her die.
She had a full life. Look her up on
Google to see her work. (A lot of
Phyllis J Fishers exist so add Mayo
Foundation to your search.) Until
next week.
Americas Iron Lady?

Write Here
Right Now
By Bob Schmidt
Britains Prime Minister from

1979 to 1989, Margaret Thatcher,
was widely known as the Iron
Lady, a nickname given to her
by the Soviet leaders. The name
was a testament to her uncompromising political positions, her
strong core principles, and her
steadfastly strong world leadership. One could argue that she and
President Reagan were co-leaders of the free world for most of a
decade, and the two of them share
credit for the downfall of the Iron
Curtain and the end of the Cold
War.
In watching the second Republican debate on September 16, I
could not help but think of Margaret Thatcher when Carly Fiorina
spoke. Despite the unfair time
allocation, and some of the rather

pointless questions posed by the
CNN hosts, Fiorina rose to the
top, and most of the pundits I listened to and read felt that she won
the debate.
Carly Fiorina has the ability to
pack more information into one
crisp and succinct statement than
anyone else in the 2016 presidential race. The only one close to
her is Ted Cruz, but to be sure, of
the eleven potential candidates on
the stage during the debate, nearly
all of them had some good moments, and most of them appeared
presidential.
To me, what separated Carly
from the rest of the field were three
items: passion, policy, and poise.
Who could question her core values after listening to her describe
the horrific process of the Planned
Parenthood ghouls bartering over
the body parts of a living baby?
When she says our national character is in question, she is absolutely right. She also was able to
describe in some detail (although
in fairness one would have to challenge the cost and time frame),
how she would rebuild the military. And poise? I thought the way
she faced down The Donald for
his personal insult followed by his
backhanded compliment was rich.
Its too early to endorse any
Republican presidential candidate,
and Im certainly not endorsing
Fiorina, but Im happy to see that
she and several others on the stage
appear to have the gravitas and
the energy to mount a serious challenge to Hillary Clinton should
she emerge as the Democratic candidate. I like it when Cruz says he
cant wait to debate Clinton. A
number of these candidates are
eager for battle, and I applaud that
attitude. It certainly is a welcome
change from the last two presidential races.
By the way, I was gratified to
see some of the candidates excoriate the Republican leadership in
Congress, particularly the Senate.
More to come on that later.
God bless America!

winter. Unfortunately the bulb

companies dont ever seem to ship
the bulbs early enough to be planted
before the snow flies.
Ordering the bulbs in early September usually provides shipment
before the end of the month. Then
they can be planted within the next
week. But the order somehow increases in size along the way. The
50 count bags of grape hyacinths
were two for the price of one, so
the second bag was free. The same
was true of the tulips, daffodils,
iris, etc. so I saved a bundle! And
because Im a good customer, they
always send me free gifts for my
patronage, my credit card, and my
gullibility. The result is a huge
box of bulbs, half of which have
no space allotted in the garden,
and the other half unlabeled. Actually they were once labeled, but
when opening the bags the labels
seem to have gotten mixed up,
lost in the sorting process, or blown
away by gusty winds. So they now
need an extra week of resorting.
The organized gardener always
dig holes first, puts the bigger bulbs
in the bottom with the bone meal,
and layers smaller bulbs between
additions of soil until filled. The
smart gardener doesnt fill the holes
until ALL have been planted, because once covered, one cant see
whats missing or what wasnt put
into the hole due to chasing labels
that get blown away while planting! Averaging ten holes per hour,
my bulb shipments are lucky to be
in by Thanksgiving.
Maturity teaches that freebies
are never free, and big savings
mean more work, especially for a
geriatric who works slowly and is
disorganized. Experience has
taught me that long bulb life in the
garden requires bulb varieties recommended for naturalizing. Heritage varieties have worked well
in this garden. But should they
not come back year after year, dont
waste time, money or your back
with a second try. Remember to
plant a grape hyacinth with your
bulbs so youll always know where
they are, and not dig them up by
accident the next fall. Grape hyacinths freely multiply so one needs
only one or two per hole to form a
colorful blue carpet at the base of
your taller bulbs in spring.
Thankfully, unless the ground
freezes or it snows, one can almost always get the fall shipments
of bulbs planted before Thanksgiving.

The Compassionate Friends

conference is October 2-4
By Marilyn Anderson
ROCHESTER The Rochester Area Chapter of The Compassionate Friends (TCF) is hosting
the Upper Midwest regional conference of the organization. The
event is scheduled for October 24 at the Kahler Grand Hotel in
Rochester and will feature keynote speakers and 20 workshop
sessions.
Darwyn and Mary Tri of rural
Mazeppa are co-leaders of the
Rochester chapter of TCF and
encourage people who have lost a
child, grandchild, or sibling to attend the conference or attend the
chapters monthly meetings. Their
son, Derek, died suddenly in October 2006. Derek was 23 years
old when he collapsed while at
work of a massive heart attack.
Though Darwyn said TCF is a
group that you dont want to have
to join, the group has helped him
with the grief he has experienced
since Dereks death.
About TCF
The Compassionate Friends was

founded in Coventry, England in
1969 and was incorporated in the
United States as a non-profit organization in 1978. The Rochester Chapter was organized in 1996.
The mission of TCF is to assist
families toward the positive resolution of grief following the death
of a child of any age and to provide information to help others be
supportive. Membership is open
to all families who have experienced the death of a child from
any cause, at any age, from prebirth to adulthood.
Hope and healing
Hope and Healing for our Broken Hearts is the theme for the
upcoming regional conference.
Details and registration information, including the conference brochure, as well as the Rochester
chapters information, can be found
at http://www.tcfrst.org
Regional conferences are generally held three to four times a
year around the country, hosted
by local chapters, or groups of TCF

chapters. The content of regional
conferences varies as planners try
to provide a comfortable and pleasant learning and sharing experience for attendees. Most regional
conferences have workshops of
some type, as well as special speakers and other planned events.
The October 2-4 program at the
Kahler Grand Hotel will feature
five keynote speakers and workshop presenters who are nationally known experts on grief and
loss. The conference opens Friday evening with two keynote presenters leading the program and
discussion. Besides a full day of
presentations and workshops on
Saturday, a special dinner and
Candle Lighting Remembrance
will be held in the evening. A
Walk to Remember and a keynote speaker will close the conference on Sunday. Approximately
300 attendees are expected to attend.
Local chapter
Approximately six months after Dereks death, the Tris discovered the Rochester chapter of
TCF. The local chapter is one of
more than the 660 meeting locations around the country where
bereaved parents, siblings, and
grandparents meet to talk, listen,
share, and provide emotional support for families dealing with the
devastating death of a child. The
Tris have continued to be committed to the group and became
co-leaders three years ago, feeling it is our calling to be involved,
according to Mary.
The monthly meetings offer
small group discussions. The group
members are non-professional in

grief counseling but TCF provides
a safe place to share grief and
memories with others who have
experienced similar losses. Information about the grieving process
is available through brochures,
handouts, and other materials.
Newsletters and a Facebook page
also provide timely information.
Mary said that a typical monthly
meeting of the Rochester group
has up to 35 attendees and includes
all types of family members and
friends grieving the loss of a child,
grandchild or sibling. Some bring
friends with them to help them
understand what they are going
through following their loss, she
said.
After becoming a part of the
Rochester chapter, Darwyn explained that the group was a way
to provide relief because we share
that common bond with others.
Over time, listening and helping
others was a way for us to deal
with our grief. He also said that
though the sharing with others can
be a downer, the pain gets a little
easier.
The Rochester Chapter meets
the second Tuesday of each month
at 7 p.m. at Redeemer Lutheran
Church, 869 7th Avenue SE, Rochester. Chapter dinner meetings take
place the fourth Tuesday of the
month at 6:30 p.m. Locations vary.
In addition to the information
about the local chapter and the
Upper Midwest Regional Conference on TCFs website or Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/
TCFRochesterConference, questions can also be directed to Mary
and Darwyn Tri at 651-923-4922.

Wanamingo
Wanamingo Fire Dept has four new members

By Alicia Hunt-Welch
WANAMINGO In April the
Wanamingo City Council approved the addition of four new
members to the Wanamingo Fire
Department following an application and selection process. As
new trainees, Parker Erickson,
Brandon Lunde, Josh Revland, and
Tylor Schaefer are learning what
it means to be firefighters and First
Responders. Over the past couple
months, all four rode along on calls
and learned about the equipment
and where its stored as they watched
their experienced mentors show
them how to its done.
Tylor Schaefer
Tylor Schaefer, 24, had two main

reasons for joining the WFD. First,
he had a desire to help his community. Second, having grown up
around the Wanamingo Fire Department, there was a desire to be
part of the brotherhood he had
observed since he was a child. His
dad, Randy, is a longtime fireman
and First Responder, as is his uncle
Monty and cousins Josh and Mat.

Schaefer said, Ive been enjoying it quite a bit, actually. Its
fun. Its been a good experience.
Since he is a new guy, hes required to work all the fundraisers
for the department. But it doesnt
bother him. With a laugh said, I
enjoy working the fundraisers!
Schaefer said the most difficult
aspect of the job is the training,
both physically and intellectually.
Emotionally, emergency calls with
little ones can be difficult to deal
with. Showing up on medical calls
with children are the worst ones
especially when its a two-, threeor four-year old. When the pager
goes off, and they hear the location and details, Schaefer admits
the nerves set in. The adrenaline
starts pumping, he said. But as
soon as they hit the ground on the
scene, there is a job to be done and
the nervousness has to take a back
seat.
A graduate of KenyonWanamingo High School in 2010,
Stuart Ohr appointed to

Wanamingo City Council
WANAMINGO Stuart Ohr
was appointed to the Wanamingo
City Council at its September 14
meeting. Ohr was one of two applicants for the position. Mayor
Ryan Holmes reviewed the applicants and recommended Ohr fill
the seat from September 14 through
December 31, 2016. Holmes said
he felt Ohr would be a good fit for
the council and that Ohr would
represent the older demographic,
as there are younger councilors to
represent that point of view.
Ohr fills the vacancy left by
Jamie Majerus who resigned in
August due to moving outside of
city limits. A motion by Larry
VanDeWalker, seconded by Todd
Kyllo, to approve Ohrs appointment to the council carried 4-0.
Ohr then took a seat at the table
for the rest of the meeting. His
official swearing in will take place
at the October 12 meeting.
Scout projects
Boy Scouts Travis Husbyn and

Chris Farrell of Wanamingo Troop
76 completed Eagle Scout service
projects in the Wanamingo Nature Trail. Ideas were presented
and approved by the council in
September 2013. City Administrator Michael Boulton said Husbyn
finished his project in December
2014 and Farrell completed his in
July 2015. The project work was
officially transferred to the city
for them to maintain in the future.
Scoutmaster Mike Farrell asked
the council if the leftover funds
donated to the project could be
returned to the scouts for future
use. VanDeWalker said that since
the donors provided funds intended
for the nature trail, he felt that is
what the remainder should be used
for. It was noted a picnic table that
was placed as part of the project
was vandalized recently.
New trophy case
Eleanor Holt and Vern Holt

would like to donate $500 in
memory of Jack Holt for the construction of a trophy case for the
Wanamingo Community Center.
The case would display
Wanamingo High School Bulldogs

athletic items. The city received a
quote of $1,522 from Steve
Melhouse for construction and
installation of the case. The council agreed to cover any costs not
raised through donations. A motion by Jennifer Berquam, seconded by Ohr, to approve carried.
Delinquent mowing charges
The council approved assessing property taxes for the cost of

mowing done by city staff. A total
of 16 lots in Emerald Valley along
3rd Street and 5th Street East and
Ruby Court accounted for all of
the delinquent unpaid charges to
the city. The list will be certified
with the county auditor/treasurer
for collection with real estate taxes
in 2016.

A pay request for Champion

Coatings, Inc. for $32,500 was
approved for cleaning and gel painting the roofs on the sewer plant
digesters.
The council held the first reading of amendments to ordinance
#170 related to traffic regulations
for all-terrain vehicle use. Boulton
said changes follow the state statute. The council will review the
ordinance again in October before giving final approval.
The state revenue office contacted city hall in regard to
Torkelson Park to confirm its use
as a public park. Boulton said the
city is financially in a position to
now look at making some improvements to the park. He also recommended forming a park committee to develop a long-term plan
for the park.
Building permits were approved
for Thelma Spitzack for re-roofing, Jared Pagel for garage remodel
and re-siding, Chris Moe for deck
remodel, Richard Lee for re-roofing, and Paul Kahren for re-roofing.
The fourth quarter maintenance
work plan for city staff was approved.
The next regular council meeting will be on Monday, October
5, at 7 p.m. in council chambers.

Builders of Cannon Falls. He has
lived either in or near Wanamingo
all his life. His dad encouraged
him a bit to join the department
but his cousin Josh Schaefer really applied the pressure that led
to his joining.
Josh Revland
Josh Revland, 23, is a third generation firefighter in his family,

after his father Mark and grandpa
Les Revland. Although several
members talked to him about joining, Revland only needed a bit of
encouragement to apply. He grew
up around the WFD and Ive always really wanted to do it. As
kids, he, Schaefer, and Erickson
went to the fire station to hang
out. They would run laps around
the building and go up and down
the stairs and in and out of the
trucks while their dads would take
care of business.
Revland has responded to numerous calls since joining the department. He admitted to being
quite nervous at first but then realized how fun it is. Having lived
around Wanamingo all his life, he

Wanamingo weighs policing contract options

WANAMINGO At its September 14 meeting the Wanamingo
City Council discussed options for
law enforcement services for the
community. For many year the city
has entered an agreement with the
Goodhue County Sheriffs Office
to provide a set number of paid
coverage hours in Wanamingo. The
contract will expire December 31.
A new three-year agreement has
been proposed by GCSO. During
the September meeting the mayor
and council members noted concerns they had and discussed what
would work best for Wanamingo.
In the proposed agreement for
coverage, GCSO suggested a two
percent increase in cost per year
for the next three years. The city
would pay $100,825 for services
in 2016, $102,841 in 2017, and
$104,898 in 2018 for 42 hours per
week of policing coverage in
Wanamingo.
On September 2, Mayor Ryan
Holmes, councilor Jennifer
Berquam, and City Administrator Michael Boulton met with
GCSO representatives. Boulton
said the sheriffs office presented
a reasonable increase that everyone could afford. In the past when
the city had financial struggles,
the city appreciated that GCSO
was willing to work with them,
allowing the city to pay late on the
contract. Boulton also said the city
is able to avoid costs of potential
lawsuits, additional insurance and
workers compensation, training,
and hiring costs by not running

their own department. With that
said, the cost of the proposed contract and its increase were only a
portion of the debate.
Boulton said his impression is
that the community feels less connected to the deputies than in the
past. A major reason for this has
been a switch in scheduling. Many
years ago the sheriffs office assigned a core group of deputies to
patrol Wanamingo. In doing this,
the five deputies assigned were
the face of policing in town. But
for the past couple years GCSO
has eliminated assigned patrols and
their roster of deputies have rotated throughout all areas of the
county. This has made for less
familiarity with the deputies.
At the council meeting Berquam
said, They are here for public
safety but I would like to see them
do more public relations. Councilman Larry VanDeWalker said
in the past the deputies assigned
to Wanamingo got to know the
community and people in it.
Councilman Todd Kyllo, who
also serves as a firefighter and First
Responder for the city, said he
has seen changes due to the rotation of deputies. He said that in
responding to emergency calls the
Wanamingo Fire Department is
no longer seeing the same deputies. As a result, many of the deputies are unfamiliar with how to
work with the WFD on emergency
calls, and there were also occasions when a deputy did not show
up at all.
Many years ago the sheriffs
office promoted the assigned patrol concept, to bring back a sense
of having a hometown force. At
a time when Kenyon reorganized
their own police department, city
officials talked of possibly joining them. The idea of a core patrol
sold the city on staying with the
sheriffs office for policing coverage.
Kyllo said the patrol deputies
assigned to Wanamingo in the past
knew the people well, and knew
the kids to watch and those who
were fine on their own. They also
knew what areas had issues, and
people knew the deputies by face
and by name. With a constant rotation of deputies, that familiarity
no longer exists.
Holmes and Boulton acknowledged that it would not be financially wise for the city to start their
own police department, saying it
would cost about $70,000 plus a
year more than the cost of a policing contract. Holmes said the city
would then need to choose between funding street maintenance/
repairs or running a police department.
In comparison Boulton obtained
some cost data from area cities:
Cannon Falls spends $927,325
a year for 24 hour coverage for
their police department; 31% of
their budget.
Zumbrota spends $418,000 a
year for their PD to operate 20-22
hours per day; 21% of their budget.

Kenyon spends $325,000 28%
of their budget for their PD to
operate 18 hours/day during the
week, 12 hours on Saturday and 8
hours on Sunday.
Goodhue spends $156,888 a year
for their PD to operate 12 hours a
day; 21% of their budget.
Pine Island contracts for policing services through GCSO. Pine
Island and Wanamingo spend 13%
of their budget on the policing
contract; $351,842 and $98,848
respectively. Pine Island contracts
for 18 hours per day. Wanamingo
currently contracts for 6 hours per
day, a decline from 7 hours a day
in recent years.
No estimates were presented for
the cost of joining another department, such as Zumbrota or Kenyon,
or if they would be open to the
possibility.
Boulton said the city and the
GCSO have worked well together.
The council did not appear opposed to continuing that relationship. However, with that said, Kyllo
said now is the time for the city to
bring their concerns forward and
negotiate what works best for all
involved. He recommended waiting on a contract vote until GCSO
representatives could give a presentation at the next meeting and
address concerns the city has.
Holmes motion to table further
discussion until the October 5 meeting carried.

but they fell 1-0 to the KoMets.
It was a hard fought battle and
very well played in a well matched
game for us, said Coach Rafal
Konik. The score does not reflect the effort put forth by the
guys. We played a solid 78 minutes. Just one shot in the last one
and a half minutes got through.
Our forwards werent able to execute for the goal we wanted.
The KoMets scored with 1:27

winner.

Christ Hassler, 95, of Pine Island,
passed away on Wednesday, September 9, 2015 at Pine Haven Care
Center, where he had been a resident since November 2008.
Si Hassler was born on July 30,
1920, in rural Howard, South Dakota, to Herman and Magdalena
(nee Wunder) Hassler. In 1925,
the family moved to the Pine Island area. With the passing of his
father, he and his older brothers
ran the family farm. Si credited an
older neighbor, Emil Krause for
taking him under his wing as a
young boy and teaching him the
ways of the farm. When his older
brothers were inducted into the
service Si ran the family farm along
with his mother and sister. On June
16, 1946 Si married the love of his
life, Dorothy Weckerling, at St.
Paul Lutheran Church and shortly
after they took over the Weckerling

farm just two miles southeast of
Pine Island. Si was a member of
St. Paul Lutheran Church where
he sang in the choir, was a member of the board, and was in the
Senior Luther League. He was a
member of the Goodhue County
DHIA and on the Pine Island Elevator Board of Directors. Si and
his brother Perry also owned and
operated Hassler Brothers Sand
and Gravel for many years. Si enjoyed tinkering in the shop, fishing trips to Canada, drives around
the countryside, visiting with
friends and the neighbors, spending time with his grandchildren
and all the little greats, and holding hands with his sweetheart.
Si is survived by his wife, Dorothy of Pine Island; daughter,
Margaret Lynn (Grant) Friese;
sons, Michael (Laurie) Hassler,
and Mark (Virginia) Hassler all
of Pine Island; ten grandchildren
and eight great-grandchildren.
Si was preceded in death by his
parents; three brothers, Earl, Warren, and Perry; three sisters, Esther
Stoll, Kathryn Forbeck and Mildred
Krause; and an infant daughter,
Lori Chris.
A funeral service was held at 11
a.m. on Monday, September 14,

PINE ISLAND On September 15, the Pine Island City Council adopted a preliminary budget
for 2016 in the amount of
$3,498,016 for general government
funds. The budget is still subject
to reduction, said Mayor Rod
Steele.
The council approved certifying the preliminary tax levy for
2016 in the maximum amount. The
levy includes $1,305,179 for general government and $637,496 for
debt service. The levy totals
$1,942,675.
City Administrator David Todd
said the city increased its debt,
but the levy is preliminary. Now
the levy increase is 20.3%, but we
will decrease the budget line-byline, he said. I included the increase for residence valued at

$100,000 and property at $300,000.

We would be operating at 106%
presently.
Steele said, So we will set the
ceiling and try to decrease it.
Todd said, Some reduction was
done prior to my arrival, but we
will make deeper cuts.. There is
more work to be done. More bud-
get sessions. We will try not to

sacrifice too much from the operational side.
The council adopted a preliminary budget for 2016 in the amount
of $3,498,016 for general government funds. The budget is still
subject to reduction, said Steele.

PINE ISLAND One item on
the Pine Island City Council agenda
for September 15, approval of the
proposed 2016-18 Goodhue County
Sheriffs Office contract for law
enforcement services, was tabled.
Councilor Erik Diskerud made the
motion to table approving the contract to look at other options, and to
talk with the sheriffs office about
personalizing services for the residents of Pine Island.
The council tabled making a decision on the contract with councilor Jason Johnson, a member of
the Goodhue County Sheriffs Office, abstaining from the vote.
Fire department/OSHA
settlement
The Minnesota Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) issued the City of Pine Island a violation regarding the training of the Pine Island Fire Department (PIFD). The city received a
$500 fine and was required to remedy the violation.
City attorney Bob Vose recommended a plan to eliminate the training issues, reduce the fine to $250,
reduce the citation classification from
serious to non-serious, and for
the PIFD to avoid this violation in
the future.
Going forward, he said, Any chief
appointee will receive, within a reasonable amount of time after appointment, available fire chief or
similar fire department leadership
training. Any firefighter assigned
to a leadership position that may
include incident command will receive incident command training.
Particularly, any chief appointee will
receive command training sufficient
to completely command fire scenes.
The fire department leadership will
have at the time of appointment, or
will receive within a reasonable time
after appointment, training and edu-
cation that are more comprehensive

than that provided to the general
fire department membership.
The city must also submit a brief
progress report within 25 days of
the period of taking action to alleviate the violation.
Vose said, Non-serious violations are common and have no cumulative impact. The council approved the OSHA settlement plan.
The PIFD recommended hiring
four probationary firefighters. The
council approved hiring Aaron Cady,
David Friese, Jon Hintz, and Colton
Pike.
PIHS Homecoming parade route
Principal Jeff Horton requested
the council approve changes in the
Homecoming Parade route to avoid
conflicts with the construction at
the grades 7-12 building. The parade will start at the football field;
proceed on 2nd Avenue to 6th Street
to Main Street to 2nd Street, and to
1st Avenue (with the elementary
students). It will finish where it
started with time scheduled to clean
up any trash. The council approved
the route.
Other business
The council removed considering staff pay increases from the
agenda because it did not follow
protocol in the policies. In the request, it was noted that increasing
staff salaries was less costly than
hiring an additional employee. If
the salaries increased there would
still be a savings from eliminating
the expense of the salary of the former
city clerk.
The council discussed options to
acquire tax-forfeited land in Bach
Estates Fourth Addition. The land
is northeast of and abuts the property Wendell Zwart donated to the
City of Pine Island. The city is maintaining the Bach property. It is in
the flood plain and acts as natural
drainage. The city could apply for a
conditional deed or purchase the

property for $300. The council approved purchasing the property for
$300.
The council authorized the following as official signatories for
designated city accounts: Deputy
Registrar Krista Rowe, City Administrator David Todd, Deputy Clerk
Stephanie Pocklington, Mayor Rod
Steele, and Mayor Pro-tem Gerald
Vettel. Mayor Rod Steele, Mayor
Pro-tem Gerald Vettel, and City
Administrator David Todd were
authorized to initiate wire transfers.
Mayor Steele said there was an
offer for a settlement for the assessments for the service road on the
east side of US Highway 52. City
attorney Vose said more information will be available on this. Another attorney in his office is handling this case for the city.
The trailer removed from the Irma
Ortega property has been stored at
the city shop for the required 30
days. Todd said the city can take
sealed bids for the trailer. Councilor Diskerud requested charging
Ortega for storage of the trailer.
New Haven Township and the
city are working on an agreement to
maintain 125th Street by the school.
The council does not want to agree
to share any payment for New Haven grating down the crest on the
road. The council has concerns about
the timely snow removal for the new
preK-4 school.
A pay request for $49,802.66 was
approved for Heselton Construction
for the water and sewer extension
and loop for the school. The school
will reimburse the city for the payment.
A pay request for $94,809.02 was
approved for Schumacher Excavating for the 2015 NW Street Project.
City engineer Neil Britton reported
that the curb, gutter, and sidewalks
in the project area will be finished
soon.

Tony Brown has been hired as

an alternative learning program
teacher. Zumbrota has been his
home for the majority of his life
and he graduated from ZMHS in
1995. He received his bachelors
degree from Minnesota State University Mankato and his masters
degree and administrative license
from Winona State University. This
is his twelfth year in education.
He lives in Zumbrota with his
wife, Deanne; children Avery,
Jacoby, and Rylan; and their dog
Piper. Wrestling has been a favorite hobby, but he also enjoys
hunting and fishing.
He said that he became a teacher
to help kids achieve what they
previously thought they couldnt
such as getting an A on a history
test, passing a class in order to
graduate, or getting to the state
tournament. Those moments
when students accomplished more
than they thought they could are
the ones they remember for the
rest of their lives and I live for as
a teacher, Brown said.
If I could teach my students
one thing, it would be that they
should dream big and work to
achieve more than others think are
possible, he said. You never
forget that feeling when a dream
becomes a reality, and that helps
you to work that much harder to
accomplish the next dream.
Stillwater, has been hired as a third

grade teacher. She attended
Gustavus Adolphus College and
has been working in education for
five years, four of those years as a
teacher. She chose ZM because
she said she loves the sense of
community that ZM has and the
support that the school gives to
the teachers. She loves that she
gets a chance to really get to know
the families and kids.
She lives in Rochester with her
fianc, Ben, and their dog, Sully.
She loves to exercise, be outside,
play with her dog, and spend time
with family and friends.
Luke loves to work with students because of their curiosity
and seeing how they learn. She
said that watching the wheels turn
as they work and understand new
things is exciting, not only for her
students, but also for her. She
hopes to bring excitement and fun
to her students and their learning
experience. She wants them to be
excited to come to school, just like

Oronoco is still in the running

as the site for a data center
By Karen Snyder
ORONOCO Though no official word has come down yet on
where C. H. Robinson Worldwide,
Inc. (CHR) will build its new data
center, Oronoco remains a contender. And recent developments
are encouraging.
Representatives from CHR and
its new centers architectural and
construction companies attended
the September 15 city council
meeting to discuss plans, answer
questions, and request a zoning
change.
CHR is eyeing eighteen acres
next to the power company. Most
of the land is zoned B-3 (commercial), but a small section is R-2
(residential). The council agreed
5-0 to designate the entire property B-3.
A Fortune 500 transportation
business based in Eden Prairie,
CHR is running out of space in its
current data center in Chicago. The
firm wishes to relocate and is considering, in addition to Oronoco,
Albert Lea and several communities in Iowa.
We want to move out of Chicago and expand greatly, Bill
Doty, I.T. Manager, Data Center
and Technical Services, told the
council. CHRs new facility will
comprise 32,000 square feet, four

times larger than the present center. Wherever CHR builds, it will
hire local people, Doty said.
In August, the Oronoco City
Council agreed to offer CHR a
nine-year TIF, the first TIF the
town has ever awarded. Albert Lea

She absolutely loved it and decided to go back to school to get
her masters in teaching (specializing in early childhood), finishing in December of 2011.
Nobachs favorite part about
working in early childhood is the
excitement kids have coming to
class, and sharing the new experiences with parents and the staff.
I would love to continue to grow
the early childhood family education program and get more young
children involved in school at an
early age, she said. ECFE starts

Tory Swenson, originally of New

Haven, Connecticut, has been hired
on as a speech language pathologist. She works with the preschool,
primary, middle, and high school
students. She says that she chose
to apply at ZM because of the strong
sense of community. She received
her bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and this is
her second year working as a licensed professional in an educational setting.
She recently settled in
Rosemount with her husband,
Adam, and their cat, Clark Gable.
Her hobbies include foreign language study, travel, and running.
Swensons favorite part of working with students is helping them
to discover their preferences and
strengths as learners. She hopes
to bring her passion for language
and literacy to ZM schools and its
students. She is also excited for
extra-curricular activities such as
the ZM football team.
When asked what she hopes to
teach her students, Swenson said,
I would teach my students to never
stop asking questions because it
is the only way to take control of
ones own learning.

1429 log moved to

Highway 58 bridge
ZUMBROTA The 1429 log was moved Thursday, September 17, from
Gerkens Feed & Grain to the Highway 58 bridge over the Zumbro River
in Zumbrota. Jim Wedge paid to have the log moved by Countryside
Lawn & Landscape. Stu Raasch, in the skid loader, lifted the log shelter
out of the ground after Jake and Fred Raasch dug around the supports
enough to clear the concrete footings. In 1930, this section of a 500year-old California redwood was placed in front of the old Wedge
Lumber yard on 3rd Street (current Ace Hardware location). Jim Wedge
is looking for significant dates to mark on a plaque and the tree. If
anyone wants to submit their favorite dates from the lifespan of the
tree, 1429-1928, please contact him.

City of Zumbrotas snow removal

ordinance will be amended
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA On September
17 the Zumbrota City Council, with
Tina Hostager absent, debated a
proposed amendment to Zumbrota
City Code Section 22.06; Interference with Snow Removal; Towing, which allows parking on the
street unless there is a snow emergency. The definition of a snow
emergency varies in the eyes of
the residents. Sometimes there may
be ice, sleet, snow and ice, etc. so
last year this was the discrepancy
and residents received tickets when
they thought it was not warranted.
City Administrator Neil Jensen
addressed the council regarding
the issues the city has faced with
ticketing and towing during snow
emergencies in the past. He proposed that council start taking action now to improve the process
before the snow falls. He said that
council has been given two options: to allow no parking on city
streets from November to April,

or, preferably, to just not allow
parking on snow removal days.
So looking at this, if there is
any precipitation on the ground
there is no parking, Dale
Hinderaker said. Am I reading
that right?
Jensen acknowledged that this
was a correct interpretation and
also said that this is the main difference between the proposed
amendment and the current. The
proposed amendment allows parking on the streets unless there is
an accumulation of snow, ice, or
other mixture of winter weather
(no snow emergency declared).
Tickets will be given after 7 p.m.,
allowing residents time to get home
from work. Parts of the downtown
area would have times of midnight or 1:30 a.m. Hinderaker said
he felt this was a reasonable compromise between no parking, and
improving upon the current law.
Mayor Rich Bauer and Councilmen Brad Drenckhahn agreed

that they are completely against
banning all parking on city streets
from November to April. We have
so many people in apartments
downtown, Drenckhahn said. Id
hate to tell them that they cant
have visitors from November to
April because there is nowhere to
park.
Council member Sara Durhman
voiced her opinion about making
sure the new ordinance, once approved, is posted properly so that
all residents are aware of the rules.
Maybe when we publish it, highlight the changes so people cant
say they didnt know, she said.
The council ultimately agreed
to table the issue until the next
meeting so that they have time to
research things further.

Olson said that the city needs to
start thinking of options for the

Restaurant as it came back positive for lead.
Council approved:
