Zumbrota will get new bridge over Highway 52

By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA The Minnesota
Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) plans to replace the
existing bridge on Highway 58
crossing over US Highway 52 in
Zumbrota. Additionally, MnDOT
plans to upgrade the US 52 ramp
intersections near the end of the
bridge. Construction will not begin until 2017.
The bridge has been deemed
unsafe for pedestrians and bikers
by the city and MnDOT. The current bridge offers minimal space
for walking or biking, and some
have argued that the bridge is barely
wide enough to provide safe driving conditions for two-way traffic. City Administrator Neil Jensen
noted that several years ago
MnDOT put a fence up on the
bridge over the railings to help

prevent falls of pedestrians off of

the bridge, and also to aid in the
event of a motor vehicle crash,
but this was only meant as a temporary solution to the bigger problem.
While plans are still in the early
stages, they currently include
roundabouts on both the east and
west ends of the bridge, as well as
extending the on/off ramps to allow for easier transition getting
on and off the highway. Plans also
include adding a ten-foot biking
and walking path on the north side
of the bridge, and a six-foot walking path on the south side.
Mayor Rich Bauer told council
that the bridge will be moved
slightly north of its current location, which should limit any road
closures in the area. This will allow for area businesses to stay

open and ease residents commutes

during construction. This decision
was made due to a recent traffic
study that concluded that over
11,500 vehicles and semis use the
Highway 58 bridge on an average
day.
MnDOT lists the benefits to the
change as a safer bridge with wider
shoulders, improved bicycle/pedestrian mobility, and improved
vertical clearance over US 52. They
list the timeline as planning the
design from fall 2015 to winter
2016. Bids will then start in winter 2016 with construction lasting
from summer 2017 to summer
2018. The current cost estimate is
$4.5-5.5 million.
Public meetings will be scheduled to allow residents to ask representatives of MnDOT questions

currently sits. The new bridge will be slightly north (left on the map) of where it is now.

Crossings honored with Outstanding Greater Rochester Arts Award

ZUMBROTA Crossings at
Carnegie owner and director Marie
Marvin was honored Tuesday,
October 20, as someone who has
done outstanding work to promote
arts in the greater Rochester area
at the third annual Ardee awards
banquet. Crossings won the Outstanding Greater Rochester Arts
Award, honoring its fifteen years
as a venue for visual arts, concerts
by national and regional musicians,
written works, theatrical performances, classes, and camps for
youth. The Ardee awards are
named after Rochesters mayor,
Ardell Brede, a strong proponent
of the arts.
When accepting the award at
The Fete at the Rochester Civic
Center, Marvin noted that she
struggled as a teenager to find her
place, but creating art gave her
the means to find the person within
herself who was capable of accomplishing something meaningful.
I have no college, no training
except life, and art, she said.

Behind all her efforts at Crossings is a dedication to create a

haven where the arts can become
a transformative force in peoples
lives.
Ardee Awards honor the very
best in the visual and performing
arts and the humanities and those
whose support through leadership,
education, and collaboration have
had a significant impact on these
endeavors, according to the Rochester Arts Council, organizers of
the awards.
Marvin opened Crossings at
Carnegie in 2001 after purchasing the former library building to
preserve the historic structure.
Since then, she has worked many
a late night and early morning to
create a space for artists of all kinds,
whether offering exhibit space to
emerging and established visual
artists, conducting classes in all
the arts for those wanting to learn
more, running a clay studio for
ceramists, or bringing in musicians
in most every genre to perform

concerts nearly every week of the

year.
My goal was to create a place
where folks in my hometown,
Zumbrota, could come together
and build community, Marvin
said. Ive been able to meet so
many of this regions talented artists and to bring their work to an
admiring public. My favorite part
of the job is calling an artist to tell
them their piece has sold, because
it gives them validation. This award
let me know I am making a difference.
Awards were given in nine categories, each having three selected
nominees. Crossings also was
nominated for the Peoples Choice
Award this year, making it the only
double nominee. The art center
and gallery also was nominated
for the Outstanding Greater Rochester Arts Award in 2013, the
first year for the awards.
I remember one day not long
after I opened the doors of Crossings, walking along Zumbrotas

Main Street, and thinking to my- was meant to do. Its a feeling lucky to be able to do what I do,
self that I was finally doing what I thats never left me, and I feel so Marvin said.

Crossings at Carnegie in Zumbrota won the Outstanding Greater Rochester Arts Ardee Award, honoring its
fifteen years as a venue for the arts. Crossings staff members accepting the award are, front row: Vicki
Blazing, Amy Tudor, Missy Hagen, owner Marie Marvin, and Brigida Travo; back row: Paulette Sable, Tracy
Calmes, Susan Evans, and Valerie McCarty.

South Country will continue to serve Goodhue County

By Sandy Hadler
RED WING There was good
news at the October 20 Goodhue
County Board meeting. The commissioners were pleased to hear
that South Countrys health care
program for low income people
will continue to serve Goodhue
County residents.
In late July, South Country had
been dropped by the Minnesota
Department of Human Services
as an option for Goodhue County
and ten other counties in Minnesota that are served by South Country. The commissioners were concerned about this, as South Country has provided excellent insurance coverage, has kept costs down,
and has proven to be helpful and
reliable to the county and those it
insures.
Commissioner Dan Rechtzigel
and Nina Arneson were thanked
for the time they spent on an appeal that reversed the states decision to eliminate South Country.
Thanks to their efforts and that of
others, South Country has regained
its contracts for MinnesotaCare
and Medical Assistance in all
eleven of their member counties.
Chairman Ted Seifert said, We
are very happy. Rechtzigel, who
spent many hours fighting to keep
South Country, responded, It was
worth it.

latest generation of electronic filing systems for documents in the

district courts. They now have in
place the technical capabilities for
his office to begin using the efiling system, which will allow
them to go to a paperless mode.
Everything that is filed with the
court will now be filed electronically.
In the past, Betcher said every
time the courts have upgraded their
systems, they have wanted a new
agreement with the county. Betcher
asked, and was authorized to sign
any future agreements, as long as
they are ancillary and related to
the latest agreement.
Seifert asked if there is a direct
cost to the county. Betcher said
there is none. He thought there
would probably be a savings, because records will no longer have
to be scanned or stored.
Seifert remained skeptical. He
asked if Betcher would come back
to the commissioners if there is a
fee imposed. Betcher responded,
Certainly.
Commissioner Ron Allen said,
We (the county board) did it years
ago. Going paperless is great.
The commissioners all voted in
favor of the motion to allow the
county attorneys office to go
paperless.

and Trails Commission Grant to

upgrade the master plan for the
trail. The original master plan was
created in 1986 and it was upgraded in 1992, but it has not been
updated since. Because the grant
will come out of legacy fund
money, Roepke needed the approval of the county commissioners in order to submit a grant application.
He said the cost of updating the
master plan is $50,000 and the
Cannon Valley Trail will be matching 25% of the cost, or $12,500
out of their own funds. His request for support was granted.
Commissioner Ron Allen said,
Over the years youve done a
fantastic job going after grants.
Everyone here is appreciative of
how much effort you put into the
trail. You bring in money from
outside sources to maintain it.
Without you there, it would not
be at the level it is.
Goodhue County Public Works
Director Greg Isakson pointed out
that because of the good job Roepke
does with the trail, he can apply
for these lucrative grants. Isakson
said it is his goal to strive towards
getting a high rating, so the
county can begin to apply for these
types of grants for its parks system. Currently, because of its
Cannon Valley Trail grant approval medium park rating, Goodhue
County attorneys office
Scot Roepke, trail manager for County does not qualify for these

the Cannon Valley Trail, asked grants.
County Attorney Stephen the county commissioners for their Pickup sale

The sale of the countys 2007
been working to implement the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks Chevy Silverado pickup, which

carried surveying equipment and

has 104,000 miles on it, became a
point of contention.
It was noted that, on average,
only 15,000 miles were put on the
vehicle each year. Because the
mileage is relatively low, Ron Allen
and Ted Seifert felt the county
should keep it for several more
years before selling it.
Isakson argued that it may need
major repairs if it is kept longer
than what the schedule dictates.
Allen countered that not only
the age of the vehicle, but the condition it is in, should determine
when it is sold, not a rigid schedule that doesnt always reflect accurately when a vehicle should be
sold.
Isakson said the county has 50
pieces of equipment that are listed
on a schedule which determines
when those items are sold. It would
be time consuming to evaluate each
to determine if they should be sold
at a different time than what the
schedule says.
It was agreed that the county
should look at updating its equipment schedule, since items like
pickups are made to last longer
now than they did in the past. With
proper maintenance, many of them
remain in good working condition much longer than in the past,
despite accumulating considerable
mileage.
Rechtzigel suggested that a committee of the whole meet to discuss capital replacement. Everyone was in agreement.

Allen said, You can make a

case for doing that. But Isakson
pointed out that if the county started
to keep equipment longer, there is
a chance it may start to have serious problems that quickly become
expensive to fix.
He pointed out that the county
kept a Cat last year and it cost
$36,000 to repair. At the time, the
county could have sold it for
$46,000 and made a $10,000 profit.
Instead the Cat has been used for
a year and will be kept another
four years, and then will be sold
for around $36,000.

Accident insurance

A request to allow county employees to voluntarily purchase

accident insurance was approved.
The request was made because the

the accident insurance themselves.

While on assignment in Germany in the early 1980s, I saw

many ingenious animal deterrents
in neighborhood gardens. Holographic ribbons to scare off birds
was one of my favorites because
it was inexpensive and festive
hanging from tree branches. Unfortunately, they lasted only until
it rained, but the concept worked.
Lead crystal is engineered to last
much longer than that.
A vase attached to a plate or
platter makes a sturdy base that
will support bowls (for birdbath
or feeder options), finials, or figures of animals, angels or flowers. Colored glass pieces add another dimension. Adding a coat of
nail polish to surfaces not exposed
to the elements can make the facets look like stained glass. Just
stacking the various pieces before
gluing them together makes for a
fun afternoon break. But once you
start to glue, make sure your sculp-

ture can stay undisturbed for at

least two days, because it will take
a long time to properly dry.
Why use lead crystal outside
where it might get damaged? It
looks fabulous in the sunshine, is
heavy enough to withstand strong
winds, doesnt mind water (just
hose it down if it gets dirty), and
keeps pesky critters away as an
extra bonus. It also reflects the
happiness of the memories made
when it graced special family occasions.
Yes, this was the right time to
bring the boxes back to light because beauty is meant to be seen,
to dazzle, and to enjoy. These garden glitz pieces have now been
shared with gardening friends and
my daughters, and they brighten
my garden, too. But best of all,
they didnt end up in a dumpster
or landfill. Even if it lasts only
one season, its done more than
being buried in the basement!

Garden glitz
As
The Worm
Turns
By Jeanne Truestedt

Under serious threat by my

daughters to toss all of the family
glass and crystal cartons down in
the basement into a dumpster upon
my demise, I decided to bring the
boxes to light this summer to see
if anything could be done with the
contents. After a run through the
dishwasher, and a week spent sitting on the porch awaiting transformation, they were re-purposed
for duty in the garden.
Lead crystal is heavy, sparkly,
and not easily damaged. It also
frightens critters with all that glitzy
dazzle. And with a little help from
GOOP marine glue, it makes marvelous sculptures to welcome visitors to the garden.

And now something completely

different ... (Thank you Monty
Python) I felt it was time to go
back to politics. I started thinking
about the Republican Party and
how it has changed from 1974.
We moved here from Wichita,
Kansas, in 1974. I was a true blue
Democrat, or at least I felt I was. I
was an IBM system engineer for
nine years. Then we moved here.
Some might say I got into the right/
wrong crowd here. I became a
Republican. It felt right to be a
Republican. Unlike in Kansas, I
was beginning to not feel comfortable being a Democrat.
Today I no longer feel comfortable being a Republican. I am seriously thinking of joining the Independence Party. My feelings are
about the issues today versus the
issues back then. I question when

they changed and why. As a traditional Republican, I agreed with

the platform of smaller government, less government involvement in our personal lives, and
more individual responsibility.
Today I see a political party that
wants bigger government, less
personal freedom, and fewer
choices and no responsibility.
What is the difference between
a legal alien and an illegal one and
how can we resolve the problem
of the illegal alien? The simple
answer to these questions is quotas, country by country quotas. The
fix is easier, raise or eliminate the
quotas.
We have had people on welfare
rolls for too long. The family is
both broken and multi-generational
for those on welfare. We dont
really know what a livable wage
is because we want to compare it
to CEO wages and not to worker
wages. Many who dropped out of
school dont have a basic skill set
to be able to work. For many of
them, peer pressure taught them
to play stupid until they became

stupid. We have to break the pattern to give the poor people a chance
to grow. It is not easy to break the
pattern.
I dont understand how the GOP
moved from wanting more personal responsibility to Who
cares? and you dont need to accept responsibility for your own
actions. It was accepting responsibility for your actions and their
consequences that finally woke
many of the poor and broken to
realize their mistakes. They began to take charge of their lives.
We all love the Biblical quote of
Give a man a fish and he will eat
for a day. Teach a man to fish and
he will eat every day. But, I contend, we dont know what the quote
is telling us to do. We also enjoy
the feeling of giving the fish versus training and then not giving
the fish. The quote leads us into a
dark corner and we cant find our
way out.
The GOP has lost its way and
strangers are trying to lead us out
but they seem to be taking us further into the dark.Until next week.

Advice for City of Zumbrota

To the Editor:
I would like to commend the
mayor and Zumbrota City Council for resisting the garbage monopoly scheme being promoted
by the City of Red Wing and the
Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency. ( I am not sure how to
interpret the role of Goodhue
County.)
Burning garbage is NOT preferable to landfilling (dumping).
Incineration is expensive, does not
eliminate landfilling (thats where
the ash goes), and causes healthdamaging air emissions.
Im a Red Wing resident and
would like to be able to support
the city I live in. But Red Wings
unending attempts to build a garbage empire at the expense of the
rest of Goodhue County are way
out of line.
A little history: Red Wing built
a municipal garbage incinerator
in the early 1980s. This burner
hung like a millstone around the
necks of Red Wing residents until
it was finally, and thankfully, shut
down in 2013. The city had lobbied to force Goodhue County
communities to send garbage there,
and even tried to get the MPCA to
send Twin Cities garbage to Red
Wing for burning. Red Wing curtailed library hours, stopped sending out a newsletter, stopped spring
and fall cleanup collections, and
curtailed other services, while

spending (wasting) hundreds of

thousands of dollars each year
subsidizing the incinerator.
One would think that with the
shutdown of the municipal burner,
the City of Red Wing would have
learned its lessons. Apparently
not.
More background: Xcel energy
burns garbage in Red Wing,
Mankato, and LaCrosse, Wisconsin, in converted 1940s coal power
plants. Most of the garbage burned
in Red Wing comes from Ramsey
and Washington counties, but this
is not enough to keep the burner
fully occupied. Emissions are high
and permits are lax. The air emissions permit for the Red Wing
garbage burner expired in 2009,
and the Mankato permit expired
in 2007. Very few utilities are in
the garbage incineration business,
and this is a strange and disgraceful activity for a utility claiming
to be green and environmentally responsible. It seems equally
shameful and hypocritical for the
MPCA to seek increased incineration in Red Wing while not
keeping the permits up to date.
Health-damaging emissions
from the Red Wing burner in recent years (the MPCA is not keeping the information up to date) are
about 1.5 million pounds per year
including, recently, 69 pounds of
lead, 16,000 pounds of hydrochloric acid, and over one million

To the Editor:
While MnDOT may be considering the pause button on Zip Rail,
Olmsted County and North American High Speed Rail (NAHSR)
are not, as Rochester Mayor Brede
openly advocating for NAHSR
clearly demonstrates. Once again
Rochester/Olmsted County leadership either cant or refuses to
understand the legal, technical, and
fiscal issues of this plan.
There is no existing right-of-

way on either southern corridor

for high-speed rail. Its all private
property. Single source contracting law is real; MnDOT giving
exclusive air negotiating rights goes
against it. There has yet to be any
numbers put forth indicating a highspeed rail between Rochester and
the Twin Cities breaks even much
less earns enough for maintenance
and replacement. Any business
needing exclusive negotiating
rights in order to get their busi-

ness plan in place either doesnt

have the credibility and/or funding streams to do the project.
We may not always agree with
MnDOT on everything, but they
are correct to not rush into this,
especially for land that is not theirs.
No folks, were not done yet. The
next Citizens Concerned About
Rail Line meeting is November 5,

The scenario cooked up by the
MPCA, Xcel, and the City of Red
Wing involves a flow control
ordinance requiring all of the garbage generated in Goodhue County
to be sent to the City of Red Wing
for grinding up, then to Xcel for
burning. (To understand this
scheme, know that under a US
Supreme Court decision, flow
control can only be used to force
garbage to go to publicly owned
facilities. Thus, garbage could not
be flow controlled directly to Xcel,
a private business, but it could be
sent to a garbage grinding operation owned by the City of Red
Wing.)
To force Goodhue County to
adopt this scheme, the MPCA is
withholding recycling funds from
the county. In other words, to make
more incineration happen, the
Pollution Control Agency is obstructing recycling, which is what
should be done with the great
majority of our wastes.
This scheme, if put in place,
would substantially increase disposal costs, eliminate competition,
and expose Zumbrota residents to
unclear future costs and liabilties.
I respectfully urge you to stand
firm against this scheme.
I would be happy to address the
council and answer questions if
that would be helpful to you. More

Deer hunters encouraged

to buy license early
With nearly 500,000 firearms
deer hunters in the state, the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources encourages hunters to
purchase their licenses early to
avoid long lines and any potential
system issues associated with the
high sales volume. The 2015 Minnesota firearms deer season begins Saturday, Nov. 7.
There are usually lines of people
who wait to buy licenses until the
Thursday and Friday before the
firearms deer opener. Last year
we sold more than 120,000 licenses
on those two days, said Steve
Michaels, DNR licensing program
director. Buying early lets you

avoid the lines and spend more

time getting ready to hunt.
Deer licenses can be purchased
at DNR license agents across Minnesota, by phone at 888-665-4236
or online at www.mndnr.gov/
buyalicense. There are additional
fees for telephone and Internet
transactions. Hunters who purchase
licenses by phone and Internet will
receive their deer license and tags
by mail, which can take three to
five b usiness days to arrive, so
hunters who choose these options
should allow enough time for delivery. Hunters must have a valid
deer license and tag in their possession when hunting deer.

The information center and license center at DNR headquarters in St. Paul will extend their
hours on opening weekend to accommodate additional phone calls
from deer hunters. Phone lines will
be open on Friday, Nov. 6, until 8
p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 7, from
8 a.m. to noon.
Hunters need to be familiar with
deer hunting regulations, which
are available at any DNR license
agent or online at www.mndnr.gov/
regulations/hunting .
License questions should be
directed to the DNR Information
Center at 651-296-6157 or 888646-6367.

MINNESOTA DEER FACTS

Deer: The animal

Adult female white-tailed deer

weigh about 145 lbs., and males
weigh about 170 lbs.
The biggest white-tailed deer
ever recorded in Minnesota was a
500-pound buck.
A whitetails home range is about
one square mile.
Deer hunting

There are nearly 500,000 firearms deer hunters in Minnesota.

Last year, 25 percent of Minnesota firearm hunters successfully
harvested a deer. About 61 percent were antlered bucks.
70 percent of Minnesotas firearms deer harvest typically occurs
during the first three or four days
of the season.
The average hunter spends five

days afield during Minnesotas

firearms deer season.
Last years total deer harvest
was about 140,000.
Because of a conservative
2015season designed to boost the
statewide population, total deer
harvest in 2015 is again anti cipated
to be relatively low. The DNR is
projecting total harvest to come
in around 140,000 to 155,000 deer.
Hunters can register their deer
via Internet, phone or at walk-in
big- game registration stations.
The largest typical whitetail buck
ever taken in Minnesota had a
Boone & Crockett score of 202,
shot by John Breen in 1918 near
Funkley.
Minnesotas No. 1 non-typical
whitetail buck had 43 points ,shot

by 17-year-old Mitch Vakoch in

1974.
Deer licenses

In total, about 628 ,000 deer

hunting licenses and permits (all
types) were sold in 2014.
96 percent of Minnesota deer
licenses are sold to state residents.
The DNR Information Center
remained open 3-1/2 hours later
on the day before last years deer
opener to answer more than 1,400
telephone inquiries, most of them
related to the firearms opener.
Hunting economics

All hunting-related expenditures

in Minnesota totaled $725 million.
Trip-related expenses such as
food and lodging, transportation
were $235 million.
Hunters spent $400 million on
equipment.
Hunters spent $90 million on
other

KW suffers their first HVL loss

By Faye Haugen
KENYON - Its been nearly a
month since the Kenyon-Wanamingo volleyball team tasted defeat, and they could not have picked
a worse time.
The Knights last defeat was on
September 26 at the Minnesota
Class AA Showcase in Burnsville.
Since that time, the Knights have
rolled to a 9-0 HVL record. But
KW suffered their first conference
loss of the season when they were
swept at Cannon Falls last Monday, 25-19, 25-20 and 25-21.
The Knights 10-1 record gives
them their second straight HVL
title. KW shared the title with Stewartville and Kasson-Mantorville
last season, and they share it with
Stewartville this season.
In the first two games we had
leads but were unable to hang onto
them, said Coach Jen Nerison.
Pacing the Knights were: Megan
Flom, 10 kills and five blocks;
Mara Quam, 14 kills, 11 digs and
two blocks; Mia Peterson, 17 set
assists; Kasey Dummer, 20 digs;
and Alexa Christianson, four
blocks and five kills.
The Knights earned the top seed
in the South Section 2AA playoffs and will open post-season play
on Thursday when they host Maple
River at 7 p.m. A win would advance them to semifinal play at
Mankato East on Monday at 6 p.m.

opening round of State
By Faye Haugen
GOODHUE Seven of eight
teams in the State Class A playoffs are ranked in the top 10 with
Goodhue the only unranked squad
in the bracket.
This will be the Wildcats first
state appearance since 2010 and
they will take on eighth-ranked
Bethlehem Academy (10-1) at 5
p.m. at the Regional Sports Center in Rochester
The Wildcats and Cardinals have
one common foe this season.
Goodhue opened with a 27-7 win
over Kenyon-Wanamingo on August 22. Bethlehem Academy suffered their only loss, a 17-14 setback to the Knights on September
4.
We havent played BA in a
while although we have scrimmaged them the past few years,
said Coach Tony Poncelet. We
watched them play New Ulm Cathedral on Saturday night. They
have some size in their line and a
couple of running backs over 200
pounds who run hard. They look
pretty solid.
Peyton Glenzinski, a 511 200
pound senior running back leads
the Cards running attack with
1,897 yards on 319 carries. Sophomore Avery Hunt (511, 165) is
next in rushing yards with 518
yards on 54 carries, and senior
Bryan Brazil (62, 190) has gained
394 yards on 60 carries.
The Cards have used two quarterbacks in Ted Brown (junior,
510, 155) and Kollin Hanson
(senior, 63, 215). Brown has
hit 25 of 44 passes for 508 yards
and three touchdowns. Hanson is
28 of 71 for 550 yards and seven
TDs. BAs leading receivers are
Brazil, 17 receptions for 508 yards
and Hunt, 17 receptions for 389
yards.
Defensive leaders for Bethlehem Academy are senior linebacker Beau Reuvers (511, 190),
42 tackles; senior linebacker Isaac
Van Thomme (510, 190) 42 tackles; defensive end, senior Sam
Clark (63, 225), 38 tackles;
sophomore lineman Alex Bonger

(61215), 37 tackles, and linebacker Glenzinski, 34 tackles.

The Wildcats will counter with
leading rusher, senior Garrett Huemann (510, 170) with 986 yards
on 204 carries with eight touchdowns; Mason Huemann (sophomore, 58, 170) 924 yards on
137 carries and eight touchdowns;
and Sam McNamara (senior,
511, 170) 250 yards on 21 carries and three touchdowns. Senior quarterback Jacob Pasch
(511, 165) has hit 90 of 152
passes for 1,172 yards and 17 passing TDs. His main targets have
been Nathan Altendorf (senior,
62, 180) with 37 receptions for
449 yards and five touchdowns;
and McNamara with 23 receptions,
for 356 yards and seven touchdowns.
Leading the Goodhue defense
are junior linebacker Bailee
OReilly (511, 180) with 125
tackles; senior linebacker Casey
Deneen (56, 180) with 123 tackles; linebacker Garrett Huemann
with 79 tackles; linebacker Mason Huemann, 72 tackles; and
defensive back Altendorf, 68 tackles.
Goodhues three losses have
come against Lewiston-Altura
(ranked fifth in Class AA), Fillmore Central (earning votes in
Class A) and Rushford Peterson.
The Wildcats got revenge by
knocking off both RP and FC in
the section playoffs.
Rest of the field
The Class A tournament is
loaded with ranked and unbeaten
teams. Top-ranked Minneota (110) will face fifth-ranked Browerville/Eagle Valley (10-0); secondranked Mahnomen (10-0) squares
off against third-ranked Braham
(10-0); and fourth-ranked Minneapolis North (10-0) plays seventhranked Tracy-Milroy/Balaton (101).
A Goodhue win on Friday would
advance the Wildcats to the semifinals on Friday, November 6 at
Prior Lake at 3 p.m. against the
Browerville/Eagle Valley -Minneota winner.

Goodhue edges Rushford-Peterson

by one point in Section 1A semifinals
By Faye Haugen
RUSHFORD - When Goodhue
and Rushford-Peterson tangled on
October 8, six turnovers resulted
in a 24-21 loss.
The two Mid-Southeast East
District teams met again in the
Section 1A quarterfinals on Tuesday in Rushford. The Wildcats kept
their turnovers to just two, and
they were able to earn a narrow
21-20 victory to advance to the
Section 1A finals.
It was a nail biter, said Coach
Tony Poncelet. On our last drive
we were successful on two fourth
down plays. One was fourth and
five on the 35 with a little over a
minute to play, and the other was
fourth and goal on the two and
Calvin Peterson punched that in
to tie the game. Mariano (Bigalk)
kicked the PAT to keep our season alive.
After a scoreless first quarter,
the Wildcats got on the scoreboard
when Garrett Huemann plunged
in from the one. Bigalk kicked the
PAT for a 7-0 lead. But the Trojans came back on their next possession, scoring on a 28-yard run
by Noah Carlson. The conversion

run failed.
RP intercepted a pass late in the
second quarter and they turned it
into a 14-7 lead when Carlson ran
in from the three. The Trojan conversion pass was good with 34
seconds to play in the half.
Goodhue had two good drives
stopped on downs in the third quarter, but a Sam McNamara fumble
recovery in the fourth quarter
turned the tide. Goodhue scored
on a one-yard run by Mason Huemann with Bigalks PAT knotting the score at 14.
Carlson struck again for RP,
scoring on a 47-yard run, but the
PAT kick failed to connect, with
the Trojans leading 20-14 with 4:31
to play.
Goodhue then put together their
winning drive with Peterson running the ball in from the two with
46 seconds to play.
Mason Huemann led Goodhues
rushing attack with 91 yards on
24 carries. Garrett Huemann had
79 yards on 14 rushes. Jacob Pasch
was 5 of 12 passing for 70 yards.
Nathan Altendorf made two receptions for 50 yards.
Bailey OReilly had a huge de-

fensive game with 17 tackles.

Mason Huemann and Casey Deneen both made 12 tackles. Sam
McNamara forced a fumble, recovered a fumble and made six
tackles.
Noah Carlson can score any
time he is on the field. He was the
best player in the conference this
season, said Coach Poncelet of
the junior running back who finished with 183 yards on 29 carries.

Penalties kill KW at Mapleton

By Faye Haugen
KENYON - For most of the season the Kenyon-Wanamingo football team has stayed out of penalty trouble, but on Tuesday
evening penalties killed the Knights
in the Section 2AA quarterfinals
in Mapleton.
We had our chances, but penalties hurt us, lamented first-year
coach Jake Wieme after the 17-14
defeat. We just couldnt finish
drives, and it was a disappointing
way to end the season.

she filled in well. Mik won the
Woman of the Week honors,
while helping the team hold onto
first place.
I forgot how tough the competition was! After filling in a
couple of times last year, I thought
I was ready to do it again. I had
to step up my game to even be
able to help a little.
Yes, young Tipcke, you
helped, a little. Your 98% serving, your 52 set assists, and your
15 kills were more than enough
help. And, they earned the
Woman of the Week! Nice work
for just helping out!
Dan Evenson scored the Man
of the Week honors. He had a

banner night, with 46 kills and

32 digs. But, his team still suffered.
Great though my talent is, I
can only carry this team so far!
Good sets are missed by hitters
and poor sets make it tough for
me to keep my kill count up.
But, I just keep trying to help us
win!
Nice job, Dan. Bruce Kinlund
coached you well!

KW students selected for

Minnesota Honors Choir
By Alicia Hunt-Welch
KENYON Five KenyonWanamingo Middle School vocalists were recently notified of
their selection to the American
Choral Directors Association
(ACDA) of Minnesota Seventh and
Eighth Grade Boys and Girls Honor
Choirs. Eighth-graders Tate
Erlandson, Daniel Cruz, and John
Helland, and seventh-graders Clay
Stevenson and McKenzie Clemons
were among 140 girls and 140 boys
selected from throughout Minnesota.
To audition, each student prepared a vocal solo and scale which
were recorded and submitted
online. KW vocal director
Stephanie Schumacher said, The
auditions were blind, meaning

the judges did not know students

names or what schools they were
from. To have five students accepted from our small rural school
is a testament to these kids hard
work and dedication to the pursuit of excellence!
Clemons said, I am honestly
very proud of myself and the others selected for this wonderful
opportunity to go to Mahtomedi
and use our great talents.
Erlandson said, I feel honored to
get this opportunity to show my
musical talents. Cruz is honored
to be chosen for the choir and said
he will represent KW with pride.
Stevenson said, I feel grateful to
be selected for this opportunity.
Helland shared that he is really
excited for the event.

The girls will be directed by

Kari Gilbertson, director of choirs
at Lake Highlands High School
of Richardson, Texas. The boys
will be directed by Clint Pianalto,
director of choirs at Hellstern
Middle School of Springdale, Arkansas.
Now that they have been chosen, the singers have their work
cut out for them. The guest directors of both the boys and girls choirs
expect the students to have all five
song selections memorized before
the festival day on November 21.
That day the students will travel
to Mahtomedi for a day full of
rehearsal followed by a 5:30 p.m.
concert at St. Andrews Lutheran
Church in Mahtomedi.

Carter Tinnin and his grandmother, Deanna Vang, enjoy time together as they carve their pumpkin.

Pumpkin Carving with Grandma

held at Pine Island Elementary
By Nichole Lien
PINE ISLAND On Friday,
October 23, Pine Island Elementary School hosted its annual Pumpkin Carving with Grandma. Grandmothers or another special adult
were invited to attend to help the
kindergarten students carve pumpkins. The event has been a tradition at the school since 1998.
Kindergarten teacher Jodi
Giesen said, As kindergarten
teachers, the part we look forward
to each year is having a day that
students can each have someone
special come to school just for
them.
Kindergartener Carter Tinnin
carved his pumpkin with his
grandma, Deanna Vang. Tinnin
said, I am making a scary pumpkin face and am taking my pumpkin home to put glow sticks in it!
Kindergartener Annie Cote had
planned to have her grandfather
attend with her, but when he was
not able to make it her mother,
Kim Cote, filled in. When Annie
was asked what she was looking
forward to during pumpkin carving, she replied, To just have a
good day!

Kim Cote and her daughter, Annie, work together to decorate their
pumpkin.

Students headed home at the end

of the afternoon with a specially
carved pumpkin, all of which were
provided by Northwoods Orchard,
which is also where the kindergartners visit for their fall field
trip.

Pumpkin Carving With

Grandma is one of three special
days the kindergarteners have each
year. They also have Woodworking With Grandpa in December
and Sweetheart Cookie Day in
February.

Student Food Drive runs through November 13

GOODHUE Did you know
that one in ten households in Minnesota struggles with hunger daily?
Did you know that fourteen percent of homes in America struggle
with hunger? It is for these reasons that Goodhue FCCLA will
be holding its annual Student Food

Drive from October 26 through

November 13.
Last years drive collected a half
ton of food that was donated to
the Zumbrota Food Shelf. The goal
for this year is to top that.
During the first week, any food
donation will be greatly appreci-

ated. The second week has theme

days. On Monday it is Cheesy Day,
Tuesday is Soup Day, Wednesday is Italian Food Day, Thursday
is Canned Food Day, and Friday
is People for Peanut Butter Day.
Cash donations will also be ac-

cepted in the high school office.

A cash donation to the food shelf
will buy many more items than
you can buy in a grocery store,
since they buy in bulk. Collection
boxes are in the school cafeteria
and in each elementary classroom.

ZUMBROTA Commercial
Water Distributing in Zumbrota
invited area residents, businesses,
and city officials, to help them
celebrate reaching over 100 employees. The open house was held
on Thursday, October 22, at the
companys warehouse on West
22nd Street.
Human resources manager Mike
Zepeda said that the company,
started by Jamin Arvig in 2007,
originally had a warehouse that
was just a space behind the couch

in the Arvig familys apartment.

Following growth of the business,
the company built a 20,000 square
foot warehouse that opened its
doors on March 10, 2008.
At the time the warehouse
opened the staff consisted of only
four employees, with three of those
being family members. As of October 22, the company had 102
employees.
We are in need of more employees, even, Zepeda said. The
company holds job fairs on Thursdays from 3-5 p.m. at the warehouse.

By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND On October
20, librarian Morgan Hansen requested the city councils permission to put a suggestion box in

to gauge residents support for a

new library facility. The other

suggestion box will most likely
be at Better Brew Coffeehouse.
The council approved the request.
Hansen said the board has been

the potential agreement, CHRs
representatives assured the council that the company would okay
the changes the city wanted. Following the hearings, the council
said yes to establishing a nineyear, $752,000 TIF to help CHR
fund the project.
The council also adopted business subsidy criteria, provisions
that CHR will pay the citys preparation costs (legal, engineering,
etc.).
In a third vote, councilors approved the development agreement
and authorized the law firm of
Briggs and Morgan to write it up.
The vote on each resolution was

Pine Island approves civil defense

service fee for new developments
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND At the Pine
Island City Council meeting on
October 20, civil defense director
Wayne King presented a proposal
to amend Chapter 12 of the city
code to add a fee for installing
civil defense sirens in future developments. The council approved
the amendment of Section 12.40
Payment for Installation of Improvements.
In the amendment, a fee for the
installation will be charged per
each lot or benefiting property to
reimburse the city for the cost of
installing and maintaining a civil
defense siren emergency warning
system. The fee will be set annually in the citys fee schedule and
will be paid from the developers
escrow account, unless there are
other responsible parties designated
in a fully executed development
contract. The amendment goes into
effect as soon as it is legally published by the City of Pine Island.
King said the cost of a siren and
installation is about $21,000. This
will not include citizens now covered by sirens. The expense now
will go to the area the new siren is
in, he said. Each resident in a
new development will pay a portion of the cost.
King also reported that the sirens are checked weekly and tested
normally. The preferred volume
is 70 decibels. However, at the
new school the volume from the
closest siren is only 56 decibels.
For emergency management, he
requested funding for some weather
monitor radios for the denser populated areas and the preK-4 building on 125th Street. For the weather
radios to be effective it will be
important to have someone responsible to listen to the monitors. For
now, a new siren for the new school
has been taken out of the civil defense budget.

October civil defense report

King reported that the Flood

Control Committee is working on
a river dredging project that looks
promising for 2016. Once the 2016
budget starts and funds are available, they will apply for permits.
The committee is researching options for equipment to fill sandbags. They are also researching
possible grants for more work on
the Zumbro River.
The Sentence-to-Serve program
will start work on river cleanup
sometime in the week of October
26-30.
Plans are to install the old Pine
Island Cemetery gates at the new
Zwart Park. King is working on
acquiring grant funds to develop
a parking lot there. Scott Zwart is
helping make signs for the gates.
King said that the river monitors are reporting in and the National Weather Service in La
Crosse, Wisconsin, has been using the data from the monitors in
Pine Island. Civil defense has had
issues getting the information put
on the city website. King hopes to
have the data online soon. One
hydrologist from La Crosse and
one from Chanhassen will visit
Pine Island in October while the
river monitor system is winterized.
Public works

Street superintendent Todd

Robertson reported that Public
Works started flushing fire hydrants on October 19.
The water main loop to the new
preK-4 school has been completed.
Street crews have started work on
Bioscience Drive, adding more
layers over the water utilities to
avoid freezing this winter.
Robertson said the street department had to fix a few gate valves
along with hauling the rock to cover
the water main. They are nearly
finished with this project.
The streets in the 2015 NW street
improvement project are paved.
The final lift of bituminous will
be added in the spring of 2016.
Street maintenance projects are
nearly finished. There are a few
areas that need sand and gravel
before winter. City engineers are
contacting the contractor to get
this finished.
The street department jetted and
cleaned the sanitary sewer lines
in the southwest and northwest
sections of town. They will winterize the parks by the end of October. The creamery building will
be done first to have it ready to
store equipment and the winter
vehicle that must be in a heated
environment.
Engineering

City engineer Neil Britton re-

ported on the utility loop for the

new preK-4 school. The loop is
all done, but the city will still hold
the 5% ($15,000) retainage for the
project. The council approved the
final pay estimate of $106,223.83
to Heselton Construction for the
project. City Administrator David
Todd said the citys portion of the
cost is 31%. The total contract
amount for the project was
$1,169,905.55.
City engineer Craig Britton presented the costs calculated for the
reconstruction of First Avenue NW
between West Center Street and
Third Street NW, First Street NW
between Second Avenue NW, and
Main Street (CSAH 62) and Second Street NW between Second
Avenue NW and Main Street
(CSAH 62). The estimated cost
for these improvements is
$968,798. The estimated expense
to be incurred in making these
improvements is $290,639. The
total estimated cost of the improvements is $1,259,437.
The council approved the assessment and ordered preparation
of the proposed assessment for this
project. The citys portion was
declared to be $924,296. The costs
assessed to the benefitting property owners were $335,141. The
council set a public hearing on
these proposed assessment for
November 5 at 5:30 p.m.
Craig Britton recommended
adding a pedestrian crosswalk
across North Main Street at the
Better Brew Coffeehouse corner.
It would be changed to an all-way
stop at this corner with striping.
There would be lighted pedestrian
signs and handicapped accessible
ramp curbs. The city has been in
contact with Goodhue County and
is considering installing the intersection on a temporary, trial basis.
The council discussed concerns
over the condition of a tree that
was left in the NW street project.
The homeowner requested the tree
be saved from removal. According to city code, the homeowner
is responsible for the tree, not the
city. Joel Knox thanked Craig
Britton for taking the time and
accommodating the requests of
homeowners in these projects.
The council approved the #6 pay
estimate of $323,893.44 to
Schumacher Excavating for the
2015 NW street project. Craig
Britton said there are punch list
items to do on the project and some
issues with the new sod. The sod
has not been paid for yet. A second lift will go on the streets in
spring 2016. There should be another lift added on 8th Street SW
before it snows.

or who is unaware it exists. The

board wants more community input for direction and planning, and
to provide to the city council as
evidence that a new building is a
priority to the citizens.
A needs assessment was completed on the 100-year-old library
building in 2012. The mayor and
council are aware that the community has outgrown the building, that space restrictions hamper services there, and that some
library activities and programs
must be moved to other areas in
the city.
The library is in the process of
planning another One Town, One
Title community reading celebration. The planning committee selected and is researching five possible themes for the reading.

City council business

City administrator David Todd

recommended pay increases to the
personnel committee for Stephanie
Pocklington, Carol Krueger, and
Krista Rowe. The council approved
$1.00/hour
increases
for
Pocklington and Krueger, and a
$0.50/hour increase for Rowe.
Todd told the council he was
unable to find any city policies for
employee pay increases and reviews. The League of Minnesota
Cities requires cities to have policies and a solid pay scale in place.
He established an employee review schedule that is now on file.
It will coincide with the annual

County

Applying nitrogen fertilizer in the fall is a

lose-lose scenario in southeast Minnesota
With Minnesotas corn harvest
more than half complete, its time
to start thinking about other fall
farm tasks.
To help you start planning, University of Minnesota Extension
Nutrient Management Specialist
Fabin Fernndez has published
a guide to fall nitrogen application, which explains where, when,
how, and how much nitrogen to
apply in the fall. Here in southeast
Minnesota, the answer to all those
questions is simple: dont.
In southeast Minnesota counties Dakota, Goodhue, Wabasha,
Olmsted, Winona, Fillmore, and
Houstonapplying nitrogen fertilizer in the fall is not recommended based on established Best
Management Practices (BMPs):
http://z.umn.edu/SENBMPs
Why not? As Dr. Fernndez
puts it, The soil is not a very
good place to store nitrogen. Other
nutrients, like phosphorus and
potassium, tend to bind to soil
particles, but nitrogen doesnt stay
put for long. It can be lost to the
atmosphere or leeched out of the
soil by spring rains. Corn takes up
most of the nitrogen it needs after
the V8 stage in late spring. So
applying nitrogen in the fall leaves
a long window of time for that
nitrogen to be lost from the soil
before the crops roots can get to
it.

In southeast Minnesota, this

problem is exacerbated by our relatively wet climate and coarse-textured soils. The nitrate form of
nitrogen moves with water, and
southeast Minnesota gets more rain
than any other part of the state.
We also have sandy or silty soils
on top of fracture-prone limestone
or sandstone bedrock, all of which
allows water to leech nitrogen
below the crops root zone more
quickly than in other parts of Minnesota. Once the nitrogen leeches
below the root zone, its of no use
to the crop and at risk of moving
deeper into groundwater.
Thats a lose-lose scenario for
the farms bottom line and for water
quality. Efficient use of inputs is
crucial to maximizing return on
investment. In addition, Dakota
Countys well-water testing campaign has found some wells with
nitrate concentrations already
above the EPAs limit for drinking water, which makes efficient
use of fertilizers crucial for responsible stewardship.
Surveys show that most farmers are already on board with this
recommendation. Only a small
percentage of farmers in southeast Minnesota still apply nitrogen in the fall, based on surveys
done by University of Minnesota
Extension and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. Most

farmers report that they apply their

nitrogen fertilizer in the spring and
summer, which is the recommended practice.
There are several recommended
times to apply nitrogen fertilizer
in southeast Minnesota: pre-plant,
at planting, and side-dress applications can be used to split the
recommended amount of nitrogen
up into several doses, which can
reduce the risk of loss in any one
rain event.
Splitting nitrogen applications
is especially recommended on irrigated sandy soils, where both
risk of nitrogen loss and ease of
in-season fertilizer application are
greater. On irrigated sands, Extension research has found that
splitting results in equal or greater
corn yields compared to applying
all the nitrogen pre-plant, even with
a nitrification inhibitor.
You can find all of U of M
Extensions nitrogen recommended BMPs online at http://
z.umn.edu/Nrecs
The recommendations described
above focus on commercial nitrogen fertilizer. Manure is another
important source of nutrients, including nitrogen, and organic
matter. To learn about Extensions
recommendations for applying
manure as a fertility source, visit

River pays tribute to Carole

King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon
ZUMBROTA Carole King,
Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon:
Three legendary songwriters
whose hits were performed by some
of the biggest artists of the 60s
and 70s. River pays tribute to
the songs they wrote and performed, on Saturday, November
7, at 7:30 p.m. at the State Theatre.
River brings the songs, stories and memories together on one
stage. Three dynamic, top Twin
Cities singers Rachel Holder,
Deb Brown and Jana Anderson
pay tribute to the three stars. Backed
by a stellar band, including an
amazing saxophonist, River is
a vocal tribute that is unforgettable.
While King, Mitchell and Simon
have an extensive list of works,

River will focus on their most

popular pieces ... songs that take
the audience on a nostalgic journey, remembering the womens
music movement of the 60s and
70s and their own prom, first kiss,
wedding, heartaches, and other life
experiences.
The audience will hear songs
such as Youre So Vain, and
Nobody Does it Better, hits by
Carly Simon, Will You Still Love
Me Tomorrow, and Natural
Woman, by Carole King, and
Help Me, and Both Sides Now,
by Joni Mitchell.
With very little history of performing together and not necessarily close friends, these three
great songwriters shared many
similarities that changed the music industry, especially for women.

DNR QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Q: Ive heard that fall is a good
time to remove buckthorn on my
land. Whats the best way to try
and control buckthorn?
A: There are two types of in
vasive buckthorn in Minnesota.
Common buckthorn is easily found
in late fall when many native shrubs
an d trees have lost their leaves.
Common buckthorn will often have
green leaves through November.
Glossy buckthorn does not stay
gree n as late as common buckthorn. Use caution as many native
trees look similar to buckthorn,
and some native trees hol d their
leaves into the winter. Before you
cut, make sure you know you are
cutting buckthorn and not a native tree.
Buckthorn plants two inches in
diameter or larger can be controlled

by cutting the stem at the soil surface and then treating the stump
with herbicide or covering the
stump to prevent re-sprouting. This
can be effectively done with hand
tools, chain saws or brush cutters.
Stumps should be treated imm
ediately after cutting (within two
hours) with an herbicide containing triclopyr (many brush killers,
Garlon 3A or 4) or glyphosate
(Roundup and others) to prevent
re-sprouting. An alternative if only
cutting a few stumps is to cover
them with a tin can or black pl
astic to prevent re-sprouting. For
smaller plants, pulling or applying herbicide are good options for
control.

aligned to that. The new pre-K - 4
elementary facility which opened
in September has been a tremendous advancement for our students.
In addition, we want to continue
to look for ways we can be even
more effective and efficient with
resources. Lastly, we want to

I would consider it an opportunity to serve on the Pine Island

there is no one entity that can solve
our issues, but that the solutions
rest in a collective effort by all
parts of our community.

being a chef. It was with that passion that she worked when she
took a culinary arts class. Her work
in the kitchen was always top quality and she was always ready to
try a new technique.
Currently, she is taking a special textiles class and is once again
passionate about the work she is
doing on her quilt.
Krista is an excellent role model
for other students. Although FACS
is not her profession for the future
(I wish it would be), I know that
she will be successful because of
her positive attitude, incredible
work ethic, and strong value system that guides her daily.

our school during my first term.
For quality education to continue
in Pine Island, it is imperative that
our administration, staff, school
board, parents, and community
leaders continue to work together
towards common goals. I am committed to providing the leadership
required to define the vision, create positive synergy, and produce
results by making sound decisions
based on the following core values:
I believe our communitys most
important responsibility is educating our children.
I believe we should strive for
excellence in every aspect of our
School.
I believe we should never accept average as good enough.
I believe in accountability.
I believe in making decisions
based on what is in the best interest of kids.
I believe a safe environment
in our schools is a top priority and
should never be compromised.
I believe in fiscal responsibility.
I believe our school should be
a source of pride for our community.
I will proudly represent Pine

November is National
Novel Writing Month
November is National Novel
Writing Month, otherwise known
as NaNoWriMo. A NaNoWriMo
writing support group will meet
at the Zumbrota Public Library
every Monday at 7 p.m. This group
is open to all ages. The first meeting will be November 2 in the young
adult corner.
Since 1999, writers around the
globe have taken the challenge of
writing a novel in 30 days or less
through the NaNoWriMo program.
The final word count goal for adults
is 50,000. For participating youth,
the suggested word goal is 30,000.
Last year 325,142 writers participated in the program. Over 250

novels written as part of this program have been traditionally published, including such popular titles
as Water for Elephants by Sara
Gruen and The Night Circus by
Erin Morgenstern.
For the past two years a group
of young writers from ZumbrotaMazeppa High School have taken
on the NaNoWriMo challenge,
mentored by local librarians. Many
of them met or exceeded their final word count goal. Even those
who did not meet their final word
count goal found the experience
to be rewarding. The program is
especially effective at fighting
writers block and encouraging
creativity.

The story of Veterans Day

By Bunny Ronningen
Zumbrota VFW Auxiliary
In 1918, on the 11th hour of the
11th month of the 11th day, the
cessation of World War I officially
took place. One year later, in 1919,
President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed November 11
as the commemoration of Armistice Day. A congressional act
approved in 1938 made that date a
federal holiday, stating that the
day was, dedicated to the cause
of world peace and to be hereafter
celebrated and known as Armistice Day.
Following World War II and
the Korean War, the 83rd Congress heeded urging from veterans groups to change the name of
the holiday. On June 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed
a bill changing November 11 from
Armistice Day to Veterans Day.
In 1968, the Uniform Holidays
Bill was passed by Congress, which
moved the celebration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in
October. The law went into effect
in 1971, but in 1975 President Ford
returned Veterans Day to November 11, due to the important historical significance of the date.
Each Veterans Day, an official
wreath-laying ceremony is held
at the Tomb of the Unknowns in
Arlington National Cemetery.
Here are some current facts about

Violinist Randy Sabien

to play at Crossings
ZUMBROTA Violinist Randy
Sabiens rhythmic, bluesy,
swingin sound will have audiences bobbing their heads, tapping their toes and dancing right
out of their chairs Friday, October 30, at 7:30 p.m. at Crossings.
Sabien will bring guitarists Kyle
Baker and Dan Caton to share the
stage.
While jazz violin is his passion,
Sabien also plays inspired renditions of tunes by the Beatles, The
Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers and others. Having started out
to study classical violin, Sabien is
one of those rare musicians hailed
both as a violinist and a fiddler.
Since 2009, he has headed the
strings department at McNally
Smith College of Music in St. Paul.
Sabien was planning to be a
drummer when he set out on his
musical path, but fate stepped in
when the conductor of the high
school orchestra persuaded him
to play the violin in fourth grade.
So with a bow in his hand instead
of drumsticks, he began studying
classical violin by day and playing along to records of his favorite 60s rock bands by night.
Having immersed himself in
these two musical forms, he went
on to college hoping to further his
musical education and the dream
of playing and touring with a band.
At age 21, he founded and
chaired the string department at
Berklee College of Music in Boston. He went on to teach internationally and is co-author, along
with Bob Phillips, of the acclaimed
Jazz Philharmonic Series by Alfred
Music Publishing his teaching
method for alternative strings.
Baker and Caton are guitar students at the McNally Smith College of Music. Baker recently completed his masters degree and
Caton is working on his bachelors.

The pair recently won first place

for Best Duo in the Minnesota
State Fair instrumental performance division. Both were featured in Sabiens public television
appearance on the Sue Orfield
Show.

The brave men and women who
serve and protect the United Sates
come from all walks of life. They
are parents, children and grandparents. They are friends, neighbors and coworkers, and an important part of their communities.
So next time you see a veteran
say, Thank you for your service. If you have ever thought
about joining the VFW or Auxiliary, come down and check it out.
You will never regret signing up.

Christian healing center opens in Pine Island

PINE ISLAND Its been three
years in the making, but the time
has finally arrived. Patchwork Faith
Ministries (PFM), under the direction of Brad and Carissa
Hjellming, has opened a new Christian center at 231 South Main Street
in Pine Island. The public is invited to an open house scheduled
for Saturday, November 7, from 9
a.m. - 2 p.m. and Sunday, November 8, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
The center consists of the new
retail Mission Market, a group
meeting area, and a counseling
office. Mission Market is a miniretail boutique selling new,
repurposed, vintage, and gently
used items. All proceeds from this
market go directly to help women
and children in need receive Biblical prayer ministry, support, and
resources from the PFM center.

Mission Market is open Wednesdays from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and a

variety of scheduled Saturdays
from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. The group
meeting area is used for life enrichment classes and support
groups, and Christian counseling
takes place in the private counseling office.
Carissa Ulrich Hjellming was
born and raised in Cannon Falls
and has been a highly respected
teacher at the Cannon Falls Elementary School for the past fifteen years. She took a leave of
absence this year to work the ministry full-time. In addition to her
bachelors and masters degrees in
elementary education, she is now
a certified healing practitioner
through Global Awakening and
an ordained lay minister.
It was very difficult to give up
my classroom this year and all

those smiling little faces, but I know

God has called me to this ministry. I now work with women and
children who are hurtingwhether
emotionally or physically. I am
able to share my faith with them
and help them find healing, she
said.
When asked what a typical day
looks like, Hjellming laughed. She
said, There is no such thing as a
typical day for me. I might be
counseling in a private session,
working Mission Market, driving
a client to a chemo appointment,
or praying for a terminally ill patient in her home. Our tagline is
We are here for you when life
hurts. My goal is to compassionately bring the hope of Christ, to
help clients find healing through
His saving love, and to lift the
burden in some small way. Miracles
happen every day!

Goodhue County, like the majority of eastern Minnesota, experienced a boom in railroads after
the Civil War. By 1870, the first
railroad was constructed in Red
Wing, connecting the area to the
larger national economy, and led
to Red Wings emergence as a
prominent market for wheat and
other agricultural exports. Cars and
highways eventually replaced railroads as the primary means of transportation and trade, but railroads
remain a critical piece of Red Wing
and Goodhue County history.
