PI High School welcomes

foreign exchange students
PINE ISLAND Pine Island
High School welcomes five new
foreign exchange students from
Italy, Norway, Thailand, and Germany.
Elenora Dante
Sixteen-year-old high school

junior Elenora Dante is from
Latiano, Italy. Dantes mother,
Annarita, works for a company
that makes wheelchairs and her
father, Salvatore, works in the insurance industry. She is an only
child.
In Italy, Dante enjoys dancing,
which she has participated in for
eleven years. She participates in
Caribbean partner dancing and
popular dance which is similar
to folk dancing. While in Pine
Island, Dante is staying with host
family Keith and Kristine Knutson.
She has two host brothers, Zach,
19, and Andrew, 24.
Dante became interested in the
AFS Intercultural Program two
years ago. She was not able to
choose the state or town she would
be staying in, only the country,
and she chose the United States.
After taking a few tests, the state
of Minnesota was chosen for her.
She is happy to be here and enjoys
everything about Pine Island because it is very different from her
little town of Latiano.
The largest differences between
her home town of Latiano and Pine
Island have been the school and
farms. In Italy, students begin kindergarten at the age of three. At
the age of six, they attend elementary school for five years after
which they attend middle school
for three years. After passing
middle school, students must then
choose what type of school they

want to attend for the next five
years. Dante chose the scientific
school where students study six
days a week, five hours a day. She
and her scientific classmates stay
together in the same classroom
for all five years. She has also
discovered that Pine Island has a
lot of farms, unlike Italy. Many
Pine Island families have farms.
My host family lives on a farm
which has given me the opportunity to feed cows, which I enjoy,
Dante said.
Her favorite subject is chemistry; however, she also enjoys Spanish because it is her easiest class.
She is currently a member of SADD
and the high school Culture Club.
In the spring, she hopes to join the
track and field team. Dante feels
fortunate to be in Pine Island because she enjoys traveling and
learning about new cultures. Sometime in the future, she hopes to
visit both Los Angeles and Sacramento.
Daniele Rosignoli
Daniele Rosignoli, 17, is from

Bologna, Italy and is a junior at
Pine Island High School. He is
staying with James and Danniell
Finstuen and has three host siblings, Brandon, Cede, and Broc.
Broc is also a junior at Pine Island
High School.
Rosignoli has found several differences between living in Italy
and Minnesota. In Minnesota, you
are able to drive at the age of sixteen and drink alcohol at the age
of twenty-one. In Italy, you can
do both at the age of eighteen. He
also notices differences in the Pine
Island classroom where students
change rooms for each class, while

in Italy, the teachers change classrooms. Rosignoli has found that
people here stay home a lot, while
in Italy they are more active with
something to do every day, such
as going to the park.
Rosignoli is enjoying making
new friends and meeting his teachers. His favorite class so far is
Prostart1 as he enjoys cooking,
especially Italian foods. While he
is in the United States, he hopes to
improve his English.
Rosignoli loves his host family
and the city of Pine Island where
everyone is willing to help each
other even if they dont know them.
When asked why he and his family decided to host a foreign exchange student, host sibling Broc
Finstuen said, We hosted a student a long time ago. I came home
one day and asked my mom if we
could host another student. She
said she would look into it and a
few months later we found out we
had a seventeen-year-old boy coming to live with us. I really enjoy
having Daniele be a part of our
family and love hearing his accent and how funny it is to hear
him try to speak English. While
Rosignoli hopes to improve on his
English, Finstuen hopes to learn a
lot about Italian culture and language.
Tora Vikhaug
From Norway, seventeen-yearold Tora Vikhaug is a junior at

Pine Island High School and is
living with Jennifer and Mitchell
Narveson. She has one host sister,
Alison, who is in eighth grade. In
Norway, Vikhaug has two siblings,
an eight-year-old sister and a four-
Beware of Publishers Clearing

House, IRS, and Microsoft scams
The Zumbrota Police Department receives daily complaints
from residents about telephone
scams from people claiming to
represent Publishers Clearing
House (PCH), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and Microsoft
Windows Help Center.
The PCH scammers are calling
residents, often posing also as UPS
drivers requesting to deliver a check
from PCH. The scammer requests
the victim to pay fees and taxes
related to their winnings, which
vary up to $25 million.
According to PCH, Publishers Clearing House does not operate this way and would never ask
for money to claim a prize award.
PCH employees would never contact you personally or in advance
to notify you of a prize award.
Our prize awards are presented
just the way you see in our popu-

These scammers typically call
from an unknown number or 867
prefix numbers from Jamaica, and
they request the victim to send
actual checks, typically express
mail, wire transfer, or Green Dot
to U.S. locations.
The IRS scam has also been targeting Zumbrota residents recently.
The scammers represent themselves as agents for the IRS and
claim they have a warrant for the
victims arrest or threaten to arrest the victim due to unpaid taxes
or IRS-related fees. This scammer
will claim the victim can take care
of the fee over the phone using a
credit card or transferring funds
electronically.
According the IRS, the IRS will
never:
Angrily demand immediate
payment over the phone, nor will
the agency call about taxes owed
without first having mailed you a
bill.
Threaten to bring in local police or other law enforcement
groups to have you arrested for
not paying.
Demand that you pay taxes
without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the
amount they say you owe.
Require you to use a specific
payment method for your taxes,
such as a prepaid debit card.
Ask for credit or debit card
numbers over the phone.
Lastly, many residents have reported being contacted by a
scammer claiming to be from
Microsoft Windows and telling the
victim that they detected a virus
or other problem on the victims
teen-year-old brother.
She decided to participate in the
exchange program so she could
experience a new culture and language. She has known that she
wanted to be a foreign exchange
student since she was eleven years
old. Vikhaug enjoys that Pine Island is a small town with nice
people. She has found that the food
here is very different from Norwegian food. She has also discovered that many things are connected
to the school, such as sports and
social activities.
This fall, Vikhaug has been a
member of the Pine Island / Zumbrota-Mazeppa (PIZM) girls varsity soccer team. Her favorite subject at school is principles of biomedical science. When asked if
there are any specific things she
would like to see while she is here,
she said, I dont have any specific things I want to see. I just
want to see what comes along and
make the best out of everything.

WANAMINGO Leaders of
the Goodhue County Sheriffs
Office attended the October 5
Wanamingo City Council meeting to hear and respond to concerns related to community policing and the renewal of a contract
between the two entities. Mayor
Ryan Holmes told Sherriff Scott
McNurlin and patrol commander
Paul Gielau that a primary concern he has heard from citizens is
that deputies are not as connected
or engaged with people in the community.
McNurlin said significant personnel turnover is a challenge the
department must deal with, and
rotating deputies is the way staff
is managed now. After discussions
concluded, the council approved
the contract for 2016-18 as previously presented, but not without
dissent.
am very happy to share Thai culture, language, and food with anyone who is interested.
Sharon Richardson
Fifteen-year-old
Sharon
Richardson is from Germany.
Richardson is a junior at Pine Island High School and is staying
with John and Patricia Bronk. She
has two host sisters who live at
home: Alyssa, a junior, and
Hannah, a freshman. She also has
two older host sisters who do not
live at home, Kaitlyn and Sarah.
Back home, in Germany,
Richardson has two sisters ages
23 and 24 who are in college and
who also studied abroad.
Richardson is a member of the
Pine Island cross country team and
Rochesters Bella Voca choir. She
also enjoys reading and writing.
She has dreamed of being an
exchange student since sixth grade.
It was always my dream of attending high school in the United
States. Everyone told me that going to America is so far away and
I would never reach it. However,
time went by and now I am here!
I still cannot believe that I am really here! she said.
In the months prior, Gielau and

city officials met privately to negotiate terms of the proposed contract renewal. The final document
was presented to the council at the
September meeting, but not everyone was comfortable with approving it at that time, so it was
requested that the GCSO attend a
council meeting to share concerns
in the hope of obtaining more positive personal interactions with the
deputies and a return to a core
patrol-based assignment that existed in the past.
Councilor Larry VanDeWalker
said he appreciated that in the past
deputies were outside their cars
speaking with citizens and engaged
in a more social way, and the core
group of four or five deputies that
were assigned to patrol in
Wanamingo established a connection to citizens both young and
old. The core patrol was the face
of the sheriffs office in

Wanamingo. That has changed in
recent years.
Sheriff McNurlin said there has
been a lot of turnover in the department so there are many new
faces in the community. Commander Gielau said currently there
are ten deputies being rotated
through Wanamingo. They in town
for a couple days, then are assigned
to other areas throughout the
county. At this time no deputies
on the rotation live in Wanamingo.
Gielau explained how the floating schedule works. McNurlin
added that a sergeant could be reassigned to Wanamingo, as was
done in the past, to help with continuity.
Councilors suggested that the
GCSO occasionally having a day
shift and have deputies get out of

host siblings, Jessica, Myles and

Patrick Allan. Janwatsiri decided
to become a foreign exchange student so she could learn more about
America, gain new experiences,
and improve her English and selfconfidence.
Since being in Pine Island,
Janwatsiri has found several differences when comparing Pine
Island to her homeland of Thailand, with the most profound being the food, school, culture, and
weather. She has found the most
surprising thing at school to be
the self-confidence that most students possess. Janwatsiri enjoys
Pine Island because everyone is
friendly and greets her even if they
have not met her yet. Her teachers have also been very helpful.
Janwatsiris favorite subject is
math. She is a member of the Pine
Island cheerleading team and finds
this to be a very fun activity. She
has also come to love American
football.
Regarding the opportunity to be
an exchange student Janwatsiri
said, Thank you to my host family, teachers, and friends for all of
the support you have given me. I
Wanamingo Council addresses

concerns that sheriffs office
isnt engaged with community
computer. They request the victim to get onto their computer and
go to a certain website so they can
fix the problem. This allows the
scammer to access the victims
computer and steal all their data
within seconds and install viruses
and malware on their computer.
Additionally, they may request
your credit card information for
providing you these phony services. According to Microsoft,
You will never receive a legitimate call from Microsoft or our
partners to charge you for computer fixes.
The Zumbrota Police Department recommends that if you are
contacted by anyone representing
these entities who request or demand money or access to your
computer, cease communication
with them and hang up. The
scammers desire is to keep you
on the phone in an effort to snare
you into their scam. You can contact Publishers Clearing House,
the IRS, or Microsoft to verify
these claims.
If you have fallen victim to any
of these scams and provided funds
or allowed access to your computer, please contact the Zumbrota
Police Department or your local
law enforcement to report the incident.

Is the GOP in trouble?

Write Here
Right Now
By Bob Schmidt
Two weeks ago I was planning

to write this article, a tough critique of the Republican leadership in Congress. Then a miracle
happened John Boehner announced that he was going to resign as Speaker of the House of
Representatives at the end of October. Half of my ammunition just
became impotent. But then, like
the phoenix rising from the ashes,
Boehners right-hand-man, Kevin
McCarthy, announced that he was
going to run for the open Speakers
chair.
So then, the race was on. Immediately, McCarthy garnered approximately 170 votes of the required 218 to win the speakership,
but the Freedom Caucus (mostly
Tea Partiers elected in the last two
elections to go to Washington and
shake things up) would not budge,
and they represented approximately forty votes in the overall
Republican Caucus. McCarthy saw
the handwriting on the wall and
realized he could not win, so a
second miracle occurredhe with-
drew his name from consideration.

And that is where we stand as this
column goes to the publisher. It
seems that Paul Ryan is going to
consider running and make a decision over the weekend, but at
the moment there are no other
potential consensus candidates.
What to make of this? Democratic strategists and Big Media
began circling like sharks, saying
that the Republicans were on the
verge of self-destruction, and that
this would virtually hand the 2016
presidential election to the Democrats. RINOs (Republicans in
Name Only) began wringing their
hands, comparing the situation to
that when Newt Gingrich resigned
over marital transgressions, Bob
Livingston had to withdraw as the
presumptive successor for similar reasons, and the Republicans
ended up losing control of the
House of Representatives.
This internal fight is totally different. It is a fight over ideas, a
fight over the process of running
the House, and fundamentally a
fight over whether the Republicans are willing to govern the country. The Freedom Caucus (like
myself and many of you) have
grown weary of Republicans running on a set of promises and then
caving in when push comes to
shove. Between Boehner and Sen-
ate Majority Leader Mitch

McConnell, promises were made
and broken on the issues of 1)
defunding Obamacare, 2)
defunding Planned Parenthood, 3)
reversing Obamas executive
amnesty program, and 4) blocking the Iranian nuclear agreement.
The Freedom Caucus members
believe their time is overdue. Going along to get along just simply
drives another nail in the coffin
that is Obamas fundamental transformation of America.
This could be the beginning, but
only the beginning, of a Republican revolution. If it turns out right,
if Ryan is the right person and if
he is willing to take the gavel,
then there is a strong likelihood
that fresh ideas and new processes
would be the new standard in the
House of Representatives. Thats
not the end game, however. The
gears grind slowly in Washington, but nowhere as slowly as in
the Senate. McConnell has got to
go, and there needs to be a similar
Senate revolt as in the House. A
month ago I would have said there
was no way that could happen.
But then, I would not have guessed
that Boehner would be on the verge
of resigning either.
God bless America, and God
bless the Freedom Caucus!
Hot sex in the perennial bed

As
The Worm
Turns
By Jeanne Truestedt
Everyone knows avid gardeners are sex fiends. After all, they
play around with reproductive techniques all year long: propagating,
grafting, seeding, etc. so they can
fill their perennial beds with lots
of beauty. But these reproductive
techniques take time, cleanliness,
and care to be successful.
Most perennials produce seeds,
divisions, or rhizomes that allow
them to fill spaces in the flower
beds with ease. But some hybrid
plants dont produce viable seeds,
so one has to purchase nursery
plants instead. Patented plants
arent supposed to be propagated
unless one pays royalties. This
system protects the hybridizer/
grower/seller but adds an increase

in price. Its also difficult to enforce because the patent police
dont check individual gardens or
gardeners.
Avid gardeners must decide
which reproductive technique
works best for them. Divisions take
strength to dig, divide, and replant.
Seeding is hit and miss done outside in real weather, but much more
predictable done indoors. Rooting is one of the easiest methods;
one just takes cuttings thereby
duplicating an existing plant. Cross
pollination in the garden can lead
to many exciting yet unpredictable results for those who like to
gamble. But whichever means you
employ, try to focus on hardiness,
so planting is not a perennial problem.
Perennials are intended to return year after year, saving time,
money, and effort. If plant materials cant survive our freezing
temperatures in winter as well as
our scorching heat and humidity

in summer, they just arent a good
choice for the perennial bed. Not
only will you replace them frequently, but youll disturb the roots
of plants growing in close proximity. And you may weaken those
strong plants by exposing them to
disease and crowding with all of
that yearly upheaval.
Trial beds are a great way to
experiment with new plants you
want to try. If you cant resist that
gorgeous whatever in the nursery, plant it there and watch it grow
for a season to see if it will come
back in spring. While these newbies
are growing, you can safely reposition the old reliables in the perennial bed to new sites or share
them with the neighbors. And when
the neighbors ask just what it is
youre doing out in the yard, you
can always smile wickedly and
tell them youre having hot sex in
the perennial bedor maybe not.
Deep philosophical questions

From
Devils
Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher
I have some deep philosophical

questions that have been haunting me. We ask people to pledge
their life to our country even including dying for it. 1. Which is
harder: a) To die for your country, or b) To live for your country?
2. When did we stop talking with
G_D?
I believe that it is harder to live
for your country than to die for it.
Dying is easy. You get in front of
a bullet at the wrong (or right)
time and you are done. But if you
survive you come home with the
horror of war hot and fresh in your
mind. Only time and positive care
will dull that pain and fear. While
you may have gone to another
country, you are still on the same
planet. What is the difference between home and the place you
went? How hard is it to see the
horrors coming home with you?
Can anyone truly answer these
questions?
Read the Book of Genesis. From
Adam to Abraham, each man talked
with G_D. They didnt pray to
G_D. My version is that they talked
with G_D. They may have talked
about the weather, about life, about
things they needed to do, and how
to do them. They asked G_D how
to do something and HE told them.
They also told G_D when something wasnt right and received
suggestions on fixing the problem. Read the story of Sodom and
Gomorrah. Abraham tries to save
Sodom and Gomorrah by looking
for righteous men. He asks G_D
to find ten righteous men. Both
towns are evil and G_D does not
find ten righteous men. He destroys the towns. From this story,
we derive the tradition that it takes
a minimum of ten men to pray to
G_D. Otherwise G_D wont hear
them. Is this when we stopped
talking and starting praying? I
suggest to you, dear readers that
we have never stopped talking with
G_D. It depends on your god image. Is your god image a six foot
tall shepherd with a beard who
wears a white gown? Or is it a
duality of infinitely large and small.

G_D is bigger than the universe

and small enough to fit inside each
of us. G_D is everywhere and
everything! The portion of G_D
within you is enough for you to
have a conversation with G_D
about the conditions that bother
you and a discussion on how to
fix them. My point is that we can
have a conversation with G_D and
not just pray to him.
Short version of the story of Lot,
nephew of Abraham: Lot saves
two angels from the mob. He volunteers his daughters and finally
the mob returns home. Lot is told
to take his wife and daughters,
leave the town and never look back.
Lots wife looks back and she is
turned into a pillar of salt. When
Lot and his daughters are safely
away, they hide in a cave. The
two daughters lay with their father with the intent to carry his
seed forward. Thus Lot and his
family arent exactly squeaky
clean! Until next week.
SIFT revisited
Sterns
Side of
the Story
By Ed Stern
You knew it had to happen

sooner or later. You knew that Fate
would not keep us apart. It took
about fifteen years for it to happen, but it finally did! SIFT went
fishing again! And it was amazing! Let me fill you in...
For those of you too young or
too Out of the Loop to know
who SIFT is, I will explain. Way
back in the 80s, Dan Johnson and
I took tickets at football games.
Milt Hovelson was the band director, and yes, your parents play
the accordion and harmonica because of him. (And really, it is not
that embarrassing most of the time,
because he did teach them well!)
He usually directed the pep band,
and would explain how tough his
week had been as he walked by
our gate. Then he would suggest
that we meet at my house to discuss World Problems when he was
done after halftime. Dan and I
would sometimes watch part of
the game; sometimes just head over
to the house. Lee Thompson taught
ag and helped coach football, so
after the game, he would join us.
Sometimes, Deb would have made
chili and rolls; sometimes just hot
chocolate and coffee to take off
the chill. Sometimes, we just had
other beverages and pretzels or
peanuts as we solved a majority
of the problems brought up. Some
days, Lee would be forced to recite the FFA creed. He also acted
as parlimentarian, to ensure a civil
discussion of items being talked
about. From this modest beginning, the Stern Industrial Fishing
Team was formed. And then, we
became a part of history.
As our children reached the ages
where they were involved in their
own activities, our meetings
dwindled until only a funeral or
wedding or special reunion might
bring us together.
We still kept in touch, because
we were all still in teaching until
just this year. I had retired, but
still stopped at school on random
days and on Donut Fridays...so it
was almost like I never left. Lee
and Milt retired, but kept subbing,
and finally, last spring (September 30 was his actual last working
day) Dan retired, too. So, his first
request was to go fishing with SIFT.
And last Wednesday, it finally
happened.
Dan wanted to get out on the
boatMilts boat for a relaxing
day on the water. Johnson is not
what you would call a serious fisherman. If the fish are biting he can
be more excited than kids are at
Christmas! But, if they are not
cooperating, he can just as easily
put the pole down, find a comfortable spot, and listen to the constant verbiage that always seemed
to be present when Milt was

around...OK, I contributed to the
borderline intelligent chatter, too!
So, at the crack of 9:30, Dan
and I arrived at Milts place, and
immediately noticed the battery
charger on the boat. This cant be
good! After a quick tour of his
new home, we gathered at the boat
to watch Milt try to resuscitate the
retired battery. After about 20
minutes of no results, we took off,
crammed into his Ford Ranger like
two cans of sardines put in a toosmall Tupperware container. It
worked...but if we were going to
be on the road for more than 10
minutes, we were going to reach
our expiration date.
We picked up a new battery,
and in another few minutes, we
were gliding down between the
docks at Bay Point Marina on our
way to the Mighty Mississippi.
Look out barges, the water will go
down a foot after we start hauling
in fish!
We drifted somewhat haphazardly down the riprap, casting like
experts to the small nooks that
were supposed to hold massive
sunfish and enormous smallmouth
bass. Milt was the first to connect...a
gigantic 6" white bass that he
quickly returned to the water before we would see it and start harassing him about fishing skills
that he thought he possessed. Dan
added a smallmouth just a bit
longer, and Milt put on a display
worthy of a Sunday Morning Fishing Show, only to lift a 5" sunfish
into the boat. I remained fishless.
After a long time of continued
skunkness, we motored to spot #2,
where we had taken baskets of
fish of all species on previous trips.
Milt and I were ready for a fishing
frenzy. Dan was looking for a donut. After this game, the score was
SIFT nothing, Fish 30. So, we
motored to spot #3. Even better
than the Biblical story about putting the nets out on the right side
of the boat...we anticipated the
REAL fishing frenzy.
The 20-minute trip around the
island and into the Back Channel
was filled with comments about
how fast we could go, how great
the Johnson motor had worked,
and how we would soon need Ben

Gay for our sore arms. (From pulling in fish!)
As we got close to the first backwater snag that was holding close
to three thousand crappies, the
motor just died. (Begin the wailing, the gnashing of teeth, the horror stories of fishermen lost forever on a trip that should have
been easy, the two-state manhunt
that would be on the Today Show.)
Now what? asked Milt, knowing that we were doomed. Our best
bet was to use the trolling motor;
after all, we did have a new battery. We motored upriver about
400 yards to the closest access,
and while we traveled, I called
Lee. We had not invited him on
this trip because: A) He was too
busy working; B) He always
brought too much gear for one
boat; C) Nobody liked him anyway; or D) He was too cool to fish
with old retired guys!
Needless to say, he was on his
lunch break, so he could give Milt
a lift back to the truck. We will
need to thank him for saving
us...again. After a short wait for
Milt, and as we climbed back into
the petite sardine can, we were
thankful that our problem (I know,
I know...this was the least of our
problems!) had been so minor. We
said our farewells, and Dan and I
decided we would try this again,
only next time we would just fish
from a dock someplace!

Chance to set
a better example
To the Editor:
In response to the Pine Island
teacher who will be attending the
UN convention on global emissions and reduction of air pollutants: wouldnt it set a better example to decline the invitation and
attend via video conference? If
the climate change situation is so
dire, why increase your carbon
footprint by traveling all the way
to Paris just to talk about how harm-
ful emissions are to our dear mother

earth? Instead, take the time to
explain to your kids how you did
your part to reduce air pollutants
and emissions by using technology and a little bit of brain power.
That would show that youre truly
thinking of the children.

Homecoming Week celebrated at Goodhue School

By R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE The week of
Homecoming was busy at the
Goodhue High School. It started
with the coronation on Monday,
September 28.
Each day had its own theme:
Monday was Fairy Tale Day, Tuesday was Tacky Tuesday, Wednesday was Wacky Wednesday,
Thursday was Sweater Day, and
Friday was Spirit Day.
On Thursday morning the boys
played volleyball, with the final
game between the seniors and the

high school faculty. That evening
the varsity girls volleyball team
was defeated by the Komets from
Kasson-Mantorville 3 games to
0.
Friday began with two hours of
school followed by a pep fest and

other Homecoming activities. After
an extended lunch, the high school
students proceeded to the football
field for their annual powder puff
football game. The temperature
was near sixty and the sky was
blue. The junior girls, wearing

black shirts and red flags, faced
the senior girls dressed in orange
shirts and yellow flags. The juniors scored twice in the first half
and held a 12-0 lead at halftime.
The seniors finally scored after
referee Josh Wieme blew the
whistle and the juniors stopped
playing but Taylor Larson continued to the end zone. Another

score by senior Michelle Hadler
gave the seniors 16-12 win. The
Homecoming parade was next. The
first place float was designed and
built by the junior class. Every class
was represented in the parade from
pre-school through twelfth grade.
Members of the senior girls team that won the powder puff football game are, front row, from left to right: Christina Lexvold, Cass Ramthun, Laura
Ringeisen, Kalley Diercks, Kala Bork, Holli Possehl; back row: Rebecca Olson, Chelsea Voth, Michelle Hadler, Keisha OReilly, Kate Stehr, Brekah
Baker, Taylor Larson, Katie Hemenway, and Jessica Hernandez.
Band members Chelsea Voth and Kate Stehr were in the Goodhue
Homecoming parade.
The Goodhue seventh grade float, with the theme of the Discovery Channel, is on a safari. Front row, from
left to right: Lacey Luhman, Baxter OReilly, Ryley Christianson, Tyson Stemmann, and Kelby Heitman; back
row: Emma Jennings, Leiah Borgschatz, Erynn Schumacher, Cameron Ryan, Jake Peterson, Connor Ryan,
and Gabe Rehder. They are proud because they have captured the Lewiston-Altura Cardinal played by Lexi
Anderson.

Pine Island
PI School District must consider new ZED facility in December
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND Matt Prigge
discussed the Zumbro Education
Districts (ZED) needs to build a
new facility with the Pine Island
School Board on October 8. Prigge
is a Byron School Board representative for the ZED. He said the
member districts (Blooming Prairie, Byron, Hayfield, KassonMantorville, Pine Island,
Stewartville, and Triton) must vote
on building a new facility and the
location of the new building in
December 2015.
He recounted his experience
attending the graduation ceremo-
nies for fourteen students attending ZED and the Alternative Learning Center (ALC). The students
had many challenges and overcame difficulties to graduate. He
said, ZED is their last educational
opportunity. Most will not go to
college or find other training. We
help them academically, but do
nothing to prepare them beyond
graduation.
Prigge said some become a liability to the community, and that
it is a pay it now, pay it later
situation. The students at ZED have
been bullied in regular school, or
have physical, emotional, or other
Pine Island High School

graduation day is changed
PINE ISLAND On October
8, the Pine Island School Board
approved changes to the 2015-16
school calendar. The last day of
school for students was changed
to Friday, May 27, 2016. Graduation was changed to Sunday, May
29, 2016 at 2 p.m.
The early end of the year will
allow the district to close the grades
5-12 building for construction.
There will be no access to the building all summer, and the campus
will be closed. Some summer activities will be scheduled using
the preK-4 building and facilities.
The board is discussing use of
the fitness center/weight room.
More information will be available about the building closing and
activities at a later date.
music students in grades 10-12

take a trip. The trip is planned for
March 27 through March 31, 2017.
Historically, other district students
do not attend school during the
absence of the students on the trip.
On the proposed calendar:
Spring break is scheduled on
April 14, 2017.
Students in grades 7-12 will
start school on September 6, 2016.
Students in grades K-6 will
start on September 9, 2016.
June 8, 2017 will be the last
day of school for students.
The 2017 graduation ceremony
is scheduled for Sunday, June 11,
at 2 p.m.
The school board tabled approving the 2016-17 calendar to discuss options for students on the
spring music trip and potentially

limitations. A new facility would

enable training in agriculture or
other trades to prepare students
for employment like other students
attending in their districts. We
have not offered the broad education to prepare them for a successful life, he said.
Previously, the ZED Board offered four options to the seven
members as possible solutions for
the students and to expand curriculum. Prigge said the board realized it was better to go talk with
the school boards and get their
questions addressed. The superintendents of the seven schools
are meeting with ZED to find a
solution and discuss programs,
costs, and what the districts could
afford.
The costs were $10 million if
ZED used the Byron Community
Education Center (BCEC), or $17
million for a facility that should
meet students needs for 15-20
years. Now, the BCEC is off the
table. It will be used if there is
overflow in kindergarten or to
address other future Byron School
District and community needs.
Prigge said, From meeting with
the superintendents $13.1 million
was identified as the upper level
the districts can afford. The districts might be able to use the lease
levy. Lease levies allow adjustment for pupil weighting to increase revenue for limited uses,
like property acquisition for joint,
inter-district programs or expansion. Currently, ZED does not
have a specific weighting formula
ready for the districts to consider.
Prigge said, Triton has maxed
out its lease levy for the next ten
Science students plan trip to Wolf Ridge

Environmental Learning Center
approved the Advanced Placement
environmental science and Roots
and Shoots club field trip to Wolf
Ridge Environmental Learning
Center in Finland, Minnesota, on
February 12-14, 2016. The students will participate in classes
and activities there tied to the academic standards.
Teacher Megan Schimek and
another staff member plan to go
with 25 students. The cost of the
trip is $225 per student. The students will raise funds for the trip.
On their way to Wolf Ridge,
the group will stop at Chilly Dogs
Sled Dog Trips in Ely. There they
will learn about mushing, interact
with sled dogs, and go on a
dogsledding adventure.

with a student needing an Epipen. Pokrandt is training staff for
field trips, and the policies for field
trips will soon be updated.
Principal Hansens report
PreK-4 principal Cindy Hansen

reported on the 2015-16 Worlds
Best Workforce plan. This year
there are plans to increase contact
with daycares and preschools to
have all children ready for kindergarten. There are more trained
reading specialists at all grades.
There is a full-time reading specialist from Minnesota Reading
Corps in the elementary. Hansen
also plans on working with students. This should raise the number of students reading at grade
level.
Safety nets incorporated in the
interventions from ADSIS (Alternative Delivery of Supplemental
Instructional Services) will assist
to close the achievement gap. The
ADSIS grant funded three interventionists in grades 5-12.
Ramp Up for (Career/College)
Readiness was expanded to grades
9-12 this year. The district is also
planning to expand the Alternative Learning Program (ALP).

years. The six other districts would

pay more up front and Triton would
pay more at the end (of ten years).
He told the school board that all
seven districts have growth, which
means more residential population, and Destination Medical
Center will impact the communities.
Triton and Blooming Prairie
currently use ZED above their
portion of costs with the current
formula. This might be adjusted.
The most likely sites for a building are Byron or Kasson. Kasson
has land, and ZED is interested in

land south of the ALC in Byron
for the new building. However,
the location will be up to the districts.
Superintendent Tammy BergBeniak said that Pine Island would
have added costs transporting students to Kasson. This would also
affect other districts. We have to
know the real costs of Triton not
paying for ten years, she said.
Board chairman John Champa
said, Our citizens will need more
details about this. He said resi-
dents will need to know a formula

for participation, the location,
operations costs with charge-backs,
financial information without Triton for the first ten years, and details about staff at the facility.
April Bailey said, What will it
cost? We need to know what it
will cost us.
Rob Warneke said the Pine Island School Board will take the
information to the Community
Planning Team (CPT) to get their
objective feedback.

The secret life of manure

By Bill Thompson
Zumbro Watershed Partnership
Unless youre a livestock farmer,
you probably dont spend much
time thinking about manure. But
these days, manure is both an economical fertilizer resource, and a
material that can pollute area waterways and groundwater resources. We hear in the news about
fish kills when manure accidentally flows into rivers and lakes.
So how do we keep our rivers and
groundwater clean while using
manure fertilizer in Minnesota?
Animal manures from agricultural livestock operations include
the animal wastes (urine, feces),
along with bedding, feed spillage,
and water/wastewater for those
liquid systems. Depending upon
the operation, this can add up to
large quantities of manure produced every day on the average
farm with animals.
The goal is to return the nutrients (especially nitrogen and phosphorus) in the manure back to the
land. One method can be described
as let the animals haul their own.
An example is pasture systems,
such as grazing areas, which are
rotated around a farm, zone-byzone. Dairy farmers using this
method time their rotation based
on herd size and pasture forage
quantity/quality. Cow-calf beef
operations on pasture would be
another example of this approach.
But, if the farm has livestock
such as hogs or dairy cows in confined areas, operators often need
to collect and store six months
worth of manure before they can
apply it properly to crop fields.
Most swine facilities in our southern Minnesota region have manure pits, which allow for manure
storage, when the manure drops
through slatted floors. Common
dairy barn setups have a variety of
techniques for manure management, including floor gutters and
scraping systems, with manure
routed to tanks or basins for storage. For some other operations,
dry manure is stockpiled in a safe
location for field application following harvest.
Manure as a resource
Farmers need to be careful about

how they apply manure to their
cropland. These days, manure fertilizer is an economical way of
fertilizing a field. In other words,
there is an economic incentive for
the producer to apply the manure
efficiently and at proper rates. In
some cases, farmers hire a licensed
manure handler to transport and
apply manure to their fields.
Many crop and animal farms in
our region will use both manure
and commercial fertilizer in their
operations. The basic difference
is that while manures are utilized
on-farm nutrients with significant
application costs, commercial fertilizers are purchased inputs on a
per unit cost basis, plus an application fee. Manure not only fertilizes a field, it also adds organic
matter to the soil and improves
soil health. Heathier soil with more
organic material in it can absorb
more rainwater, resist erosion better, and allow crop roots to grow
more deeply into the soil. More
information today points to the
need to improve overall soil health,
and increasing the organic matter
in a soil is one important way to
accomplish that.
Manure used to be seen as a
waste product, like something to
just get rid of, said Olmsted
County feedlot technician Martin
Larsen. But now we view it as a
crop nutrient. If you manage your
manure well, you can get a lot of
value out of it.
Livestock operators who keep animals in enclosures need to collect

manure, bedding, and feed, and properly apply them to crop fields as
fertilizer. If manure isnt managed properly, it can run off and pollute
waterways. (Photo source: USDA NRCS).
Manure as a pollutant
While manure is an important

resource for farmers, it can also
become a serious water pollutant
if not managed properly. The State
of Minnesota, and most counties,
have rules that require manure
management which prevents water pollution. Farmers are to follow the maximum nutrient rate
limits, and follow setback distances
from streams, tile intakes, and
ditches. And most facilities are
testing their manure for both nitrogen and phosphorus levels.
Manure that ends up in a stream
can reduce the dissolved oxygen
to levels that result in a fish kill.
To obtain the correct rate of
application, farmers also need to
calibrate their manure spreaders
or applicators, so they dont apply too much manure to a field.
Most fertilizer pollution problems
come from putting too much fertilizer on a field, or applying it at
the wrong time, like just before a
big rainstorm or when it is prone
to leaching.
Most farmers do as good a job
as they can to manage their manure, given their farmland and resources, said Larsen. The biggest problem we see with manure
is making sure a producer has a
place to apply it without adding
too much phosphorus to the soil.
According to Larsen, in a longtime livestock operation, a farmer
wants to make sure that hes not
applying too much manure within
300 feet of a lake or waterway. If
phosphorus levels get too high,
some of that fertilizer can wash
into waterways during rainstorms

and cause a pollution problem.
Some farmers, like Duane
Alberts, who operates a dairy farm
near Pine Island, apply liquid
manure. To maintain the nutrient
value of liquid manure, and to reduce odors, he injects manure
into a cut furrow, where it is incorporated with some type of tillage tool, like a disk.
Injecting manure prevents the
nitrogen from evaporating off into
the atmosphere and eliminates
odor, said Alberts. Livestock
manure is a very bulky product
and is supplied to the toolbar
through the dragline hose, which
greatly reduces soil compaction.
Incorporating manure into the
soil also reduces the likelihood of
manure runoff with a rainstorm
event. The over-application of liquid manure, in a field with buried
tiles for drainage, can result in
manure being discharged into
ditches and streams via the tile.
Farmers must find the right soil
conditions, watch the weather,
consider using some pre-tillage
to improve binding to the soil, and
manage
their
drainage
systemsall at once.
As you can see, this balancing
act requires a high level of planning and management. Farmers
and other landowners who want
to learn more about how to manage manure for higher profits and
cleaner waterways should contact
their county conservation staff at
the Soil and Water Conservation
District and Natural Resources
Conservation Service office.

MINNEAPOLIS On Tuesday,
September 22, forty KenyonWanamingo High School choir
members performed the national
anthem at Target Field in Minneapolis in a massed chorus of 700
singers as part of Choir Night at
the Twins. Musicians from over
a dozen schools in the area joined
together to create an enormous wall
of sound before the baseball game.
After performing the Star
Spangled Banner, the KW students enjoyed cheering on the

Twins toward their victory over
the Cleveland Indians. KW Middle/
High School choir director
Stephanie Schumacher said, It
was a thrilling experience to stand
on the field just feet away from
the players and to join in song
with so many other musicians. We
hope to make this a new KW choir
tradition.
Other traditional events the KW

music department will be involved
in include: The HVL All-Conference Honors Band and Choir Concert on November 2 at 7 p.m. at

Kenyon-Wanamingo School reviews

bids and enrollment numbers
KENYON The KenyonWanamingo School Board reviewed quotes for snow removal
for the 2015-16 school year on
September 28. The bid specifications were advertised for two
weeks. Only one bid was received.
The board accepted that bid after
lengthy discussion.
The bid specs called for snow
plow and/or removal of snow from
the school parking lot in Kenyon,
the parking lot in Wanamingo and
for the sidewalk in front of the
school in Wanamingo.
Zumbro Valley Landscaping
submitted a bid of $85 per hour
for the parking lots and a season
price of $7,500 for the pedestrian
walkways at the elementary school
site. As an alternative, ZVL gave
the option of locking in those prices
for a three-year contact.
Board member Debb Paquin was
concerned that other businesses
missed the bid deadline, as the
district has received more bids in
the past. She recommended the
bid process be reopened since only
one bid was received by the deadline day. Greg Dotson said that
would give an unfair advantage to
additional bidders, as ZVLs bid
was now public.
A motion to approve a threeyear snow removal contract with
ZVL carried 7-0.
Enrollment down from last year
The district enrollment is down

to 794. It was 830 at the end of
September last year. Superintendent Jeff Pesta said two anomalies are seen in the kindergarten
and first grade classes, with both
grades at 49 students as of September 22. Pesta noted they numbers for these classes was low in
the district census as well.
Pesta also said KW was unaware
that some parents open enrolled
their students in other districts, as
they had not completed the necessary paperwork by the deadline
date. This is problematic as the
district uses the enrollment numbers to determine the number of
teachers they need to have. If teachers are hired to meet student counts,
and those student do not show up,
the district is out financially. The
official count day is October 1.
Those numbers will be used to
establish head counts for the year
for funding.
Todd Netzke of School Management Services, who serves as
the districts financial manager,
said there is concern about the
enrollment numbers and that the
coming year will be a tough year
financially. Pesta said the district
fortunately has some reserves, otherwise the situation for the district could be dire.
levy payable in 2016. It was recommended the board approve the

levy at the maximum allowed,
$2,494,582.62. This amount reflects a 2.39% or $61,116 decrease
from the previous year. A motion
to approve carried.
As required by law, the City of
Kenyon submitted a copy of the
2014 Tax Increment Finance annual disclosure statement to the
school district for their review.
The form outlined the tax capacity for the Southeastern Minnesota Multi-County Housing and
Redevelopment Authority.
The food service contract between Taher, Inc. and the district
was approved. The agreement is
effective until June 30, 2016. A
motion to approve the contract
renewal carried.
A donation from the family of
Craig Vangsness was accepted.
With this, $1,000 will be donated
to the Wrestling Boosters and
$1,000 to the Football Boosters.

Peterson had been renting the back

to be released from the lease to

Holmes would like to see more
deputies doing business checks,
to make sure doors are locked at
night and buildings are secure.
Councilor Todd Kyllo said he
understands why the county rotates deputies, but that it doesnt
necessarily work for Wanamingo
since the deputies do not know all
the nooks and crannies of town
and dont fully understand where
areas of concern are. Holmes said
he would like to feel Wanamingo
is getting community policing
rather than the sense that the deputies are just passing through. He
also had concerns that rotating
unfamiliar deputies does not work
as efficiently with the Wanamingo
Fire Department and First Responders on calls.
McNurlin said they will look at
ways to better facilitate communication between GCSO and the
city. He also said public meetings
could be held with deputies, as
they were in the past, for citizens
to express concerns and hear input. City administrator Michael
Boulton suggested that deputies

could attend a Wanamingo Commercial Club meeting to meet area
business owners.
The sheriff also said there is a
delicate balance between community policing and being overzealous. Many young new deputies
can be focused on finding something wrong, and not on building
relationships. McNurlin said sometimes their superiors need to knock
the starch out of them to get them
more grounded. Citizens and council members should not be afraid
to contact him with any concerns
in order to address problems.
Although the GCSO officials
were open to hearing the concerns
of councilors, they did not offer to
change the policing structure.
After discussions, a motion was
made by Jennifer Berquam, seconded by VanDeWalker, to approve and renew the policing contract for January 1, 2016, through
December 31, 2018. The motion
carried 4-1, with Berquam,
VanDeWalker, Holmes, and Stuart
Ohr in favor, and Kyllo opposed.

discussed the city land for sale on
the west side of Mill Street. The
0.382 acre plat, measuring 16,647

of the Industrial Park, the
Wanamingo City Council approved final assessments to benefiting parcels on October 5. Now
the parcels of land for commercial use will be available for sale
and future development.
The action approved assessments per parcel, ranging in cost
from $117,649 to $160,000 based
on the land size. The project cost
was $535,000. Of that amount,
$520,000 is being assessed.
The city qualified for a state

WANAMINGO On October
1, the Wanamingo Workout 24/7
gym officially opened at its new
location. They didnt move far
just across Main Street. The new
location will allow owner Katie
Peterson to expand services. She
will host a grand opening on October 24 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
to celebrate the new space and the
ten-year anniversary of PT with
KT.
For many years the gym has
been open in the Wanamingo
Medical Building. On September
28, the gym closed for three days
to move equipment to its new location. Workout 24/7 is now located at 216 Main Street, in the
old hardware store, between the
post office and All the Buzz hair
salon. In a message to members
Peterson said, We are going to
try making the move as smooth as
possible. Thank you so much for
being part of our gym community. We hope we can make it even
better for you as we continue to
grow as a business!
This year Peterson celebrates
ten years in business as Personal
Training with KT. In addition to a
workout studio in Rochester by
Crossroads Shopping Center (by
appointment only), five years ago
she acquired the Workout 24/7 gym
in Wanamingo. In the years following she also opened a gym in
Kenyon. Peterson has always offered her personal training services
and nutrition education programs
to members for an additional
charge.
After five years in the
Wanamingo Medical Building, the
gym began to outgrow the space.
Peterson said, We definitely
needed more space and wanted to
be able to offer classes, tanning,
and massage therapy to make it
a more of a well-rounded gym.
The new 4,000 square foot
Wanamingo gym will have group
fitness classes on site. A few new
pieces of cardio equipment have
been acquired. The new gym has
two showers, a massage therapy
room, and in 2016 a tanning bed
will be added to the offerings. She
is currently looking for a massage
therapist to work in the space.

The Wildcats closed out regular season play with a 4-1 win at

Matt Lien scored for the Wildcats in the first half off an assist
from TJ Bjorngaard. Cole VanHouten headed a pass to Jeric
Christianson, who scored a little
over two minutes into the second
half. Brandon DePestel scored off
an assist from Christianson and
Max Smothers scored his first goal
of the season on an assist from
Jose Fernandez.
Both teams had eight shots on
goal.
The wind was definitely a factor in the first half, remarked
Coach Konik. It slowed down
our game, and it was difficult to
play the ball in the air. The second
half brought more aggressive play
by our boys, and the wind was
sailing in our favor. It was a good
way to finish the regular season
and we are ready for section tournament games next week.

More than a decade later, his wife,
Diane, joined him on the road.
She ran her first marathon at 51.
During the Manns running careers, they have run all over the
United States entering races ranging from 3.1 miles to full marathons (26.2 miles).

Goodhue drops second straight game
By Faye Haugen
GOODHUE - You would have
to go back a long way in the record
book to find the last time that the
Goodhue football team dropped
two straights games in conference
play. Last week the Wildcats fell
21-14 to fourth-ranked Class AA
Lewiston-Altura. This week they
suffered another narrow 24-21 loss
to Rushford-Peterson to end the
season with a 5-3 overall record.
The Wildcats were seeded third
in the Section 1A playoffs that
begin Wednesday, and Goodhue
will host sixth-seeded Southland
(2-6). A victory will advance
Goodhue to the semifinals against
either second-seeded RushfordPeterson or seventh-seeded
Kingsland (0-8) on Tuesday at 7
p.m.
Rushford-Peterson took a 12-0
lead before Goodhue got on the
scoreboard. Noah Carlson scored
on a 72-yard run in the opening
quarter and he added a six-yard
run in the second quarter. The Cats
scored with just 34 seconds to play
in the half when Jacob Pasch hit
Ryan Schoenfelder with a 15-yard
pass. Mariano Bigalk kicked the
PAT for a 12-7 score at the half.
Goodhue took a 14-12 lead to
start the third quarter on a oneyard plunge by Garrett Huemann
with Bigalk kicking the PAT. But

Carlson scored on a pair of runs, a
10-yard run midway through the
third quarter and on a six-yard run
early in the fourth quarter for a
24-14 edge.
Goodhue was able to close the
gap to 24-21 when Nathan Altendorf snared a three-yard pass from
Pasch, but that was as close as
they would get. The Trojans recovered the onside kick and were
able to run out the last 1:20 on the
clock.
Garrett Huemann gained 65
yards on 24 carries to lead the Cat
rushing attack. Jacob Pasch was
23 of 35 passing for 223 yards
two touchdowns, and three interceptions. Nathan Altendorf made
10 receptions for 108 yards.

GOODHUE CO-ED VOLLEYBALL

By Ed Stern
Volleyball commissioner
GOODHUE The football
regular season is over, cross country is running down, and volleyball is gearing up, so it only
makes sense that Fab Five Volleyball (the top co-ed volleyball
league in America) is at the midseason All Star break in Goodhue.
Needless to say, Steve Dankers is the only person upset about
not being selected to play in the
All Star series. He was the only

player not receiving any votes!
This weeks Woman of the
Week was Merribeth Schrimpf.
As part of her birthday week,
she was even more pumped than
ever while coaching her junior
varsity volleyball team.
How can you not get excited
about playing Fab Five volleyball? This is a chance for me to
show my girls how to be superstars.

And her stats will verify that.

This week, she overcame having to play between Cam and
her brother Ross to set a new
personal best with 23 kills. She
added 12 ace blocks and 43 digs,
and she served at 96% efficiency!
I guess when you look back
at the match, I was really awesome!
Yes, you were, Merr! Keep
up the good work.
Teammate Charlie Dicke
owned the Man of the Week honors.
He set to Merribeth all night
long, and also added 19 kills of
his own, including one monster
hit that will probably be seen on
the intro to the NCAA championships later this fall.
It is so easy being awesome
when you have teammates that
help you look good. It is more
difficult on my team, because
everyone plays for themselves,
except my favorite coach. I hope
we can win it all, so the skeptics
quit being rude to me during the
week.
You keep dominating and it
could happen, Chuck!
