ZUMBROTA The State The-
atre in Zumbrota will host the first

screenings of the full-length fea-
ture film His Neighbor Phil be-
ginning Saturday, October 25 and
ending Sunday, November 2. The
movie was filmed entirely on lo-
cation in Zumbrota earlier this
year.
A gala preceding the inaugural
showing is being hosted by the
local steering committee for the
film, with profits benefiting Zum-
brota Area Arts Councils State
Theatre. Gala tickets are $25 and
include a dessert buffet, bever-
ages and the first viewing of the
film. No one will have seen the
movie prior to October 25. For
more information about purchas-
ing tickets, call 507-732-7830 or
email statetheatre@zaac.org.
His Neighbor Phil was a col-
laboration between local inves-
tors and My Town Pictures. From
the beginning, one view of the
project was that such an invest-
ment would also benefit other com-
munity initiatives. Although the
Zumbrota Area Arts Council was
not financially involved in the pro-
duction, this fundraising event for
the historic State Theatre is but
one example of how the commu-
nity will benefit from the time,
energy and resources that many
people devoted to the creation of
this film.
State Theatre Director Ronda
Anderson-Sand commented, For
the first time in years, we will be
showing a movie every night for a
week. The unique aspect of this
particular film is that it includes
many familiar locations in Zum-
brota, as well as many familiar
faces. More than 300 local people
were involved in some aspect of
the productionserving as cast
members, musicians and extras,
as well as providing critical sup-
port services such as housing, trans-
portation and meals.
The story of His Neighbor Phil
involves a middle-aged woman,
played by Stephanie Zimbalist,
who has developed early onset
Alzheimers disease. She and her
husband, played by Daniel Roe-
buck, have been longtime owners
of the local theatre. Devastated
by the slipping away of his be-
loved wife, her husband does what-
ever he can to bring her back to
the present. Music plays a key role
in his plan and the film. Nation-
ally recognized musicians Claudia
Schmidt, Becky Schlegel and
Ashlee Hewitt perform in the film,
as do local musicians Logan Lan-
gley, Tat Erredge, Ray Sands and
the Polka Dots, the Zumbrota
Community Band, and the Min-
neapolis-based SeVy Gospel Quar-
tet.
Twenty-one local actors were
cast to play alongside the profes-
sional actors. In addition to
Stephanie Zimbalist and Daniel
Roebuck, the professional cast
includes Sally Kellerman, Ellen
Dolan, Rachel Storey and Peggy
OConnell. Many of these actors

Neighbor Phil was filmed in April of this year. The movie will be shown at the State Theatre, beginning
October 25.
His Neighbor Phil to open at State Theatre
By Alicia Hunt-Welch
MAZEPPA Shari Ferber,
Tammy Musty, Sharon Musty, and
Fanny Weber attended the Octo-
ber 8 Mazeppa City Council meet-
ing to share their plans to open a
food shelf in Mazeppa. They said
the idea came up recently, and they
are in the initial stages of plan-
ning. The women asked if the small
room off of the old creamery could
be available for a food shelf or if
the council had ideas on another
possible location.
A Channel One Food Bank rep-
resentative was present to provide
information and said a freezer,
refrigerator and shelving could be
provided by Channel One. The food
shelf could be open a couple times
per month, and could be run as a
non-profit organization using a
501(c)3 designation; shared with
a local church.
City Clerk Linda Friedrich asked
if the group considered the former
mercantile or contacted the owner.
Mayor Bob Beniak said the city
could look at the creamery space
to see if it can be utilized.
City prepares
for bond loan refunding
The city is in a position to refi-
nance general obligation bonds
originally taken out in 2007 for
the Cherry Street improvement
project that were originally taken
out in 2007. The council passed a
resolution approving the issuance
of up to $826,000 general obliga-
tion refunding bonds, with approval
of the administrator and mayor, if
the interest rate is favorable to
saving the city money. It was esti-
mated the city could save $30,000
by refunding with a lower interest
rate. Mike Bubany, the citys fi-
nancial advisor with David Drown
Associates Inc, would look to sell
bonds within sixty days. The cur-
rent bonds are eligible for refund-
ing in December 2014.
Administrator committee
shares initial plans
A committee met to discuss the
needs and duties of the potential
new city administrator and the clerk
position. At this time, the thought
is to have a full-time administra-
tor/clerk position, and then a part-
time (20 hours per week) deputy
clerk position. Current City Ad-
ministrator Duane Hofschulte, who
is part-time, will retire in 2015.
City Clerk Linda Friedrich is cur-
rently full-time but would like to
go to part-time next year.
Update from Senator Schmit
State Senator Matt Schmit at-
tended the meeting to give a recap
of the last legislative session.
Schmit said that when he took of-
fice a year ago, the state was fac-
ing an enormous deficit. During
the last legislative session, tax cuts
were made, some taxes eliminated,
and revenue was generated. A
budget surplus was seen and $1.2
billion distributed. Schmit said
approximately half was returned
to taxpayers. About one-third of
the surplus was devoted to capital
investment. It was a bonding year
and of all the projects requesting
funds, about one-third were ap-
proved funding. Schmit said the
remaining surplus dollars were
placed in reserve so the state will
be prepared in the future in the
event of an economic downturn.
Looking ahead, Schmit said
transportation funding will need
to be addressed to have adequate
funding for roads, bridge repair
and replacement work. Quality
high-speed internet in rural areas
is also a priority for Schmit.
Senator Schmit encouraged the
Mazeppa City Council and staff
to reach out to him if there is ever
anything he can help with.
Commissioner candidate Goihl
For the third month in a row,
Brian Goihl attended the council
meeting to get a grasp on
Mazeppas needs. The Lake City
area candidate running for
Wabasha County Commissioner
District 2 said he is prepared to
represent his district and encour-
aged voters to contact him if they
have any questions prior to elec-
tion day. Upon his filing for can-
didacy, Goihl listed his public
phone number as 651-764-0255.
Policing report
Wabasha County Deputy Joe
Modjeski presented the policing
report. During September, depu-
ties responded to six traffic viola-
tions, three thefts, two reports of
suspicious activity, two burglar-
ies, an alarm, an attempt to locate
a person, a harassment/threat, a
lost property incident, a noise com-
plaint, and a motorist assist. They
transported an intoxicated female
for crisis care, and assisted the
public on three occasions.
Other business
The council gave authorization
for the delinquent water and/or
sewer bills to be placed on the
property taxes of those owners
owing money to the city.
Building permits were approved
for Sts. Peter and Paul Church for
re-roofing; Rivers Edge apartments
for re-roofing and new windows;
Tim Cassidy for remodeling; Mike
Holtorf for new furnace; and Mike
Plans are being considered
for a Mazeppa food shelf

PINE ISLAND Operation
Hometown Hugs, a program of
the Pine Island American Legion
Auxiliary, continues to acknowl-
edge and thank local family mem-
bers who are serving in the mili-
tary and helping keep peace around
the world and protecting our coun-
try. The auxiliary is asking all fami-
lies of those actively serving in
the military to send in addresses
and photos so Hometown Hugs
can send them care packages.
The auxiliary would like the
updated addresses for all active
service members even if their ad-
dresses have remained the same.
Anita Witthoeft, auxiliary mem-
ber and Hometown Hugs Coordi-
nator, said, The auxiliary is look-
ing for any Pine Island High School
graduate serving our country and
any family member of Pine Island
citizens. We are reaching out to
families, hoping they will give us
the needed information to insure
all those serving will receive a
care package, especially for the
upcoming Christmas season.
Witthoeft said the auxiliary is
also asking for updated photos to
add to the display case at the Pine
Island American Legion. Ad-
dresses and photos can be dropped
off at the Pine Island American
Legion located at 108 1st Av. SE
in Pine Island or mailed in care of
the legion at P.O. Box 255. For
more information call Anita
Witthoeft at 507-261-3250.

Supports Jean Roth for ZM School Board
To the Editor:
If you want a Zumbrota-
Mazeppa School Board member
who will do an exceptional job,
you want to vote for Jean Roth.
Why? Because you most likely
want someone who knows the
school system inside and out. You
want someone who will be as care-
ful with your tax dollars as she is
with her own finances. You prob-
ably also want someone who is
fair, but not afraid to make the
tough decisions. You want some-
one who is approachable. And
you certainly want someone who
will put the students of Zumbrota-
Mazeppa Schools at the top of the
priority list.
Jean Roth fits all of those re-
quirements. She worked in the
school district as a speech/language
teacher for 29 years before retir-
ing just this past spring. Long be-
fore that, she open-enrolled her
own three children in the district
before moving to Zumbrota, and
they went on to become ZM gradu-
ates. Her assignments were car-
ried out at both sites, so she came
in contact with a variety of staff,
administration, and school settings.
So, when November 4 comes
around, make sure to put in your
vote for Jean Roth for school board.
You will be glad you did.

The neverending story
The latest This Week asked
the question, What is our exit
strategy for fighting ISIS? We, as
a nation, need to understand where
weve been and how we got here.
Have we gone willingly, follow-
ing our principles; or have we been
pushed and pulled by others?
Lets begin with the end of World
War I. We dont learn much about
the world at that time in schools
today. Two empires ended when
WWI ended the Hapsburg Em-
pire and the Ottoman Empire. The
Hapsburg Empire covered, in some
political form, western Europe and
resulted in nearly the current con-
figuration of nations today. The
Ottoman Empire covered the
Middle East and a good part Asia.
It was divided and parceled out as
the losers often are. Today, we
have Iran, Iraq, Syria, Palestine
(created by the Balfour Declara-
tion for the Jewish People), and
other nations. The Hapsburg Em-
pire was centered in Austria and
the Ottoman in Turkey. The na-
tions of the Ottoman Empire were
never pleased with being treated
as losers nor were they ecstatic
over the political borders. Since
1920, the Middle East has not been
a pleasant place.
World War II provided the fi-
nal mapping with only a few bor-
der changes since 1948. With the
establishment of Israel as a na-
tion, the borders have been fairly
stable. Our leaders have confused
border stability with peace and have
assumed that any unrest within a
nation was that nations problem.
Only when a situation would ex-
pand beyond a border, would we
get involved, and usually for the
wrong reasons.
Jump forward to the First Gulf
War. Just before the Gulf War,
Iran and Iraq had waged a long-
lasting war. From our point of view,
Iran was paying cash for weap-
ons, buying them from Russia; Iraq
was borrowing from us and Ku-
wait to buy weapons from us. Our
only interest in the Iran-Iraq con-
flict was protecting our investment.
We had no other reason for pick-
ing a side and getting involved.
Iran and Iraq stopped fighting, with
the result considered a draw. We
sent a message to Iraq, You owe
us $85,000,000,000. Please make
an interest payment. Iraq owed
Kuwait another $35,000,000,000.
They, too, sent the same message.
Saddam Hussein did some think-
ing and decided to invade Kuwait.
He could eliminate one debt and
get money (resources) to pay us.
We had a treaty with Kuwait and
came to its defense. The result was
the first Gulf War. Iraq was not
prepared for our response or our
wrath. We werent prepared for
Iraq to collapse militarily and, as
a result, we stopped short of wip-
ing out Iraq. (Had we gone in, we
might have prevented the second
Gulf War. Now we are pussy-
footing back into Iraq and Syria.
As a sidenote, we set up a trap
for Iran, and an Iraqi pilot didnt
get the memo. He fired on the Stark
missile ship. Think about it. A US
military vessel is in a war zone
and stands down from battle sta-
tions. An Iranian pilot was sup-
posed to shoot at the Stark and
then we would have a reason to
pound Iran. Did we go willingly,
or were we enticed into involve-
ment? Until next week.
Enjoyed class reunion
To the Editor:
Who says you cant have fun
and enjoy the good old times with
a super class? Yes, we all had a
blast! Its been a fun ride and so
much to look back on, laugh and
cry about, with the Zumbrota High
School class of 1964.
The 50s music was the best
the Supremes, Elvis, Roy Orbison,
Everly Brothers, Pat Boone, oh so
many! Each song had a memory.
Tours of the high school and
State Theatre were enjoyed im-
mensely. We all looked awesome,
still had that twinkle in our eyes,
and still could kid around. Some
retired, some still working, but we
all decided were tired. Ha! Many
laughs!
It was interesting to see and hear
how life has treated us. Even the
spouses had a few comments
why not?!
Being on the reunion commit-
tee was enjoyable and I will not
forget it.
It was good to see you, Conway,
and, yes, the memories are deep.
Good luck to everyone and see
you again in five. Our roots re-
main in Zumbrota!

ZM School holds lockdown drill
Submitted by Tony Simons
ZM Superintendent
ZUMBROTA On Tuesday,
October 7, the Zumbrota-Mazeppa
Middle and High School building
was involved in a lockdown drill
at around third hour or about 10
a.m. The lockdown lasted about
80 minutes.
During the lockdown drill stu-
dents and staff practiced the
lockdown procedures that have
been approved as part of the school
crisis management plan. Also dur-
ing the drill, the K-9 unit from the
Goodhue County Sheriffs Office
and Tactical Rescue Team from
Goodhue County were asked to
participate in the drill to provide
training for law enforcement so
they are familiar with our facility
in event of a live school lockdown.
This lockdown drill took a little
longer than past years due to ex-
panding the drill to include the K-
9 drug dog unit which was done
separately in the past. It was in-
cluded in the lockdown drill this
year in an attempt to decrease lost
instructional time.
Minnesota schools are required
by law to conduct five lockdown
drills per school year, five fire drills
per school year, and one tornado
drill per school year. Parents/guard-
ians are not informed in advanced
of lockdown, fire, or tornado drills.
For obvious reasons, advanced
notice is not given when the K-9
unit it brought in as part of the
lockdown drill. No illegal sub-
stances were detected by the K-9
unit. Student safety is a top prior-
ity of the Zumbrota-Mazeppa Pub-
lic Schools.

Curtis Thumann 1947-2014
MARSHFIELD, WI Curtis
George Thumann, age 67, died at
the House of the Dove hospice
care facility in Marshfield, Wis-
consin, on Monday October 6,
2014.
Curtis was born on June 3, 1947,
to Bernard and Verneda (Kruse)
Thumann. He was baptized at St.
Johns Church, Red Wing, on July
27, 1947, and confirmed at Christ
Evangelical Lutheran Church,
Zumbrota, on May 21, 1961. He
attended school in Zumbrota and
graduated high school in 1965.
Curtis served in the US Air Force
from 1966 to 1970 during which
time he was stationed in both Ko-
rea and Vietnam as a Sergeant First
Class Air Freight Specialist. Af-
ter his return from Korea, and be-
fore he was stationed in Vietnam,
he met his wife Margaret (Friebus)
at a church picnic in Topeka, Kan-
sas, while stationed at Forbes Air
Force Base. Curtis and Margaret
corresponded during his subse-
quent deployment to Vietnam and
were married one month after his
return, on November29, 1969 in
Stockton, Kansas.
Curtis and Margaret started their
life together in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, where Curtis was sta-
tioned at Tinker Air Force Base.
Soon after they moved to the Min-
neapolis/St. Paul area where they
had their first son, Daniel. In
Minneapolis, Curtis worked for
Western Airlines as a baggage
handler while attending trade
school for diesel mechanics. In
1972, the family of three moved
to New Ulm where Curtis started
driving truck for Kraft Foods. Soon
after settling in New Ulm the family
expanded with the addition of their
second son Jon. In 1976, the
Thumanns moved to Grand Island,
Nebraska, where Curtis drove truck
for Overhead Door and soon be-
came the father of a third boy,
David who was born in 1978.
In 1979 the family moved to
Onalaska, Wisconsin, where Curtis
continued his career as a truck
driver for Gateway/Flemming and
eventually for himself as the owner
of Creative Group Transportation,
LLC. Curtis never really retired,
and was always reading, tinker-
ing, and dreaming up new ways to
spend his time. Curtis was a mem-
ber of St. Pauls Lutheran Church.
Survivors include Curtiss wife
Margaret; his three sons, Daniel
(Trisha) of Marshfield, Wiscon-
sin, Jon (Kari) of Chandler, Ari-
zona, and David (Megan) of
Neenah, Wisconsin; grandchildren
Dustin, Courtney, Grace, Samuel,
Henry, Liam, and Caleb; two broth-
ers, Robert (Geraldine) Thumann
and Dewain (Sharon) Thumann;
uncle Roy Thumann; mother-in-
law Irene Friebus; four brothers-
and sisters-in-law; and nieces,
nephews, cousins, and friends.
Funeral services were held on

PINE ISLAND A year ago,
the Pine Island/Zumbrota-
Mazeppa girls soccer team scored
an upset win over Lourdes in the
quarterfinals in Section 1A play
to move on to the semifinals for
the first time. The Wildcats were
hoping for some of that magic
again this season in the playoffs.
It was not to be, as sixth-
seeded PIZM was knocked out
of play by third-seeded Dover-
Eyota on Thursday.
Liza Shelquist scored the only
Wildcat goal on a corner kick in
the opening half. That goal knot-
ted the score at 1-1. But the Eagles
came back with a pair of second
half goals to post the 3-1 win.
Summer Cavallaro made six
saves in goal. The Wildcats took
six shots against Dover-Eyota.

Tuesday when they hosted 11th-
seeded St. Charles.
Tessa Gushulak gave the Wild-
cats a 1-0 lead midway through
the first half that was followed
by a penalty kick by Liza
Shelquist. The Saints scored their
only goal late in the first half,
but Gushulak scored her second
goals of the game for a 3-1 lead
at the half.
Emma Gunhus scored a pair
of goal in the second half for a
5-1 win over the Saints.
The Wildcats outshot the
Saints 24-3 with Summer Cav-
allaro making the saves.

Volleyball Commissioner
GOODHUE Alex Dicke won
the Man of the Week honors, but
his efforts were in vain in
Goodhue coed volleyball.
Great though my talent is, I
can only carry a team so far! I
get really frustrated playing well
every week, and watching us keep
losing. Thirty kills, 12 ace serves,
and 11 set assists were just
wasted. All I can do is just keep
up my game. Maybe it will pay
GOODHUE CO-ED VOLLEYBALL
off by playoff time.
Good attitude, Alex.
Bonnie OReilly experienced
the same pain as Alex, but Dars
did fare better than his team did.
I try to just forget the little
mistakes and look ahead to the
next play. It has worked for me
since junior high at Okabena
Middle School in all sports. Be-
lieve it or not, I have always been
pretty talented. And, Mel, dont
roll your eyes at me!
Bonnie managed 34 set as-
sists, 21 ace serves, and 15 blocks.
(On one, she even broke a nail,
but kept on playing.) Nice work,
Bonnie. Way to be an example
for the next generation.
Remember, because of the
football game tonight, we get to
take the week off. See you next
week!

PINE ISLAND Over the years
Pine Island Panther football teams
have had their share of champion-
ships, winning seasons, and other
successes. The most recent cham-
pionship was in 2013 when PI won
a section championship under the
coaching of John Stapleton. Over-
all, the Panthers finished with a 9-
3 record and a 6-1 record in the
Southern Football Alliance White
division, which was good for sec-
ond place behind Triton.
Fifty years ago, in 1964, Pine
Island had a championship team
that finished 7-2-0 overall. In the
Wasioja Conference they finished
5-1 and shared the title with By-
ron. Bob Ilstrup was the head coach.
The Panthers scored 166 points
that season and gave up only 66.
In non-conference play they de-
feated Goodhue 6-0 and Zumbrota
31-6, but lost to Lewiston 19-20.
In conference play they lost to
Dodge Center 6-7 but defeated
Dover-Eyota 27-0, Wanamingo
25-19, West Concord 13-7, By-
ron 13-7, and Hayfield 26-0. Scor-
ing touchdowns that season were
Bob Feigal with nine, Dan Micka
seven, Larry Matti five, Dave Jack-
son two, and Ed Shanks, Paul
Gustine, and Jim Riess with one
each. Selected most valuable line-
man was Jim Riess and most valu-
able backs were Bob Feigal and
Dave Jackson. Seniors on the team
were Dave Jackson, Bob Feigal,
Gary Lee, Dan Micka, Larry Matti,
Carl Glamm, Caryl Hayward, Les
Schliep, Bob Kundert, Jim Riess,
Jon Ugland, and Dale Romo.
Going back even further in PI
football history, the 1950 team also
won a conference championship.
Back then, Pine Island was a mem-
ber of the Dodge County Confer-
ence. The name of the conference
was later changed to reflect where
all the schools were located. Roger
Bergland was the coach of the team.
For the season, they outscored other
teams by a 102-73 margin. In con-
ference play the Panthers went
undefeated to win the overall cham-
pionship trophy. Seniors on the
team were Bill Johnke, Don Clarey,
Duane Heuser, Wes Moreland,
Don Erwin, Arnold Blasing, Daren
Hayward, Roger Schlaeppi, and
Ed Parkin. Teams played that year
were Goodhue, Kasson, Zumbrota,
Cannon Falls, West Concord,
Hayfield, and Dodge Center.
By all historical and available
records, conference championships
have been won by Pine Island in
1950, 1964, 1975, 1979, 1980,
1981, 1982, 1986, 1989, 1990,
1991, 1992, and 1997. Section
championships were won in 1981,
1987, 1992, 1997, and 2013.
In 1981, under the coaching of
Duwayne Willie Rauen, the Pan-
thers played in a state champion-
ship game. Jeff Ronning and Mike
Braaten were the captains of the
team. Making all-conference were
The 1964 Pine Island championship football team had five sets of
brothers on it. Listed first is the senior brother in back and second is the
sophomore brother in front. From left to right: Dave and Joe Jackson,
Jim and Bob Riess, Bob and Mike Feigal, Dan and Tom Micka, and Gary
and Steve Lee.
Looking back on Pine Island
championship football
Mike Braaten, Jeff Copler, Marty
Hoffman, Greg Lenn, and Jeff
Lerum. The Panthers finished that
year with an 8-1 regular season
record to win their third confer-
ence championship in a row. They
repeated again in 1982 to make it
four in a row. During the regular
season their only loss was to West
Concord, 6-23. The eight wins were
over Kenyon 26-0, Goodhue 21-
0, Wanamingo 48-0, Dover-Eyota
33-13, Byron 32-14, Dodge Cen-
ter 18-6, Hayfield 25-6, and South-
land 15-3. For the regular season
they outscored other teams 224-
65. In tournament play, Pine Is-
land won over Caledonia 22-6,
Lewiston 14-12, and Granite Falls
28-14. In the state championship
game, they faced a powerful Hold-
ingford team and lost 0-39. Even
though they lost in the state final,
the coaches said the players played
hard and gave it their best shot
and it was a season to be proud of.
Sheriff warns of
new phone scam
From the Wabasha County
Sheriffs Office
Recently, a Lake City couple
has had scammers using their phone
number and name to place calls to
other Lake City residents. This is
another new technique for
scammers from all parts of the
world to try and gain money from
people in the Midwest. The
Wabasha County Sheriffs Office
also had this happen to a Plainview
resident. These incidents will likely
continue.
Typically, the call comes through
and Caller ID makes it look like it
could be your neighbor. So you
pick up the phone and its not some-
one from Lake City. This has
caused a great deal of concern for
both parties involved. Locally,
there is not much law enforce-
ment can do with this scam. The
important thing to remember is
that the person that is listed on the
Caller ID is not responsible for
this happening. Their number was
taken and used by someone trying
to gain money from you. One thing
that customers can do is contact
the FCC at 1-888-225-5322 to re-
port this. They also have more
email contacts and information at
www.fcc.gov.
Wabasha County Sheriff Rodney
Bartsh said, It seems like the
people wanting our money will
not ever stop coming up with new
ways to take it. We live in very
non-trusting times. This is often
toughest for our older generations
whose lives were built and based
on trust. Please report these inci-
dents locally so that your local
law enforcement has an idea of
what scams are occurring and if
there are any new ones.

CHATFIELD The Goodhue
football team controls their own
destiny. A key win over Chatfield
on Friday pushed the Wildcats to
6-1 on the season. Goodhue will
host 7-0 Caledonia on Wednes-
day evening. A win over the sec-
ond-ranked Class AA Warriors will
hand the Cats a share of the Blue
Division title in the Southern Foot-
ball Alliance.
Chatfield and Goodhue were
well matched. They traded touch-
down in the first half with Chat-
field scoring on a 12-yard run by
Parker Fossom in the first quarter
and a five-yard run by Ryan Meeker
in the second quarter. Garrett
Huemann put Goodhue on the
scoreboard in the opening quarter
on a three-yard run. Jacob Pasch
and Tyler Schumacher combined
for a 15-yard passing touchdown
in the second quarter. The differ-
ence in the first half was Mariano
Bigalk who kicked a pair of PATs
to give the Cats a 14-12 lead.
Goodhue took a 21-12 lead in
the third quarter when Pasch threw
his second TD pass of the game,
this time a 61-yarder to Sam Mc-
Namara. Pasch tossed his third
scoring pass of the game at the
start of the fourth quarter to Riley
Augustine, good for a 48-yard
touchdown. The Wildcats in-
creased their lead to 34-12 with
1:54 to play when Huemann ran
in his second TD from six-yards
out with Bigalk kicking his fifth
PAT.
But the Gophers came roaring
back. Ethan Woltz ran back the
kickoff 75 yards to close the score
to 34-19; Chatfield recovered their
onside kick, and, coupled with a
Goodhue pass interference call on
the first play, saw the Gophers
score on a 13-yard pass from Dil-
lon Bance to Woltz with Woltz
kicking the PAT for a 34-26 score
with 55 seconds to play.
Chatfield went for another onside
kick, but Goodhue was able to jump
on the ball and run out the clock
for a big win.
Pasch was 13 of 19 passing for
225 yards. Sam McNamara made
seven receptions for 80 yards. Gar-
rett Huemann rushed for 128 yards
on 24 carries.
Logan Breuer led the defense
with 10 tackles, with Chuck Dahl-
ing making nine.

ZM gets pummeled by Dover-Eyota
By Faye Haugen
ZUMBROTA A lot of penal-
ties and injuries resulted in Zum-
brota-Mazeppa digging a big hole
that they were never able to climb
out of in a 49-18 loss to Dover-
Eyota in Zumbrota, Friday.
The Eagles set the tone of the
game on the opening kickoff, re-
turning the ball 60 yards to the
ZM 18-yard line. On their first
offensive play, DE scored when
Garrett Studer hit Ryan Keach with
a pass. It never got any better, as
an Eagle interception of a ZM pass
resulted in a one-yard TD by Studer.
DE scored again in the first quar-
ter on a 42-yard pass from Studer
to Joseph Reiss.
ZM lost a pair of senior starters
to injury early in the game with
Evan Block (ribs) and Jacob For-
rey (thigh) leaving the contest.
Sophomore Jacob Niebuhr suffered
a injury late in the game.
The Cougars cut into the DE
lead when Freedom Hunt rolled
out and found Alex Nelson in
theend zone with a six-yard pass.
But the Eagles came right back,
scoring on a two-yard plunge by
Reiss for a 28-6 lead at the half.
Dover-Eyota scored three more
times in the third quarter on a 75-
and 13-yard runs by Reiss, and on
an interception that was returned
by Keach. ZM was able to hit the
end zone once in the third quarter
on a one-yard run by Isaiah Stu-
eber. Caden Steffen scored on a
one-yard run in the fourth quarter
for the Cougars for a 49-18 final
score.
Isaiah Stueber was 8 of 24 pass-
ing for 163 yards.
Maverick Jackson rushed for 56
yards on 13 carries and Alex Guse
made three receptions for 23 yards.
Connor Hegseth led the defense
with 13 tackles.
The Cougars will conclude regu-
lar season play on Wednesday
when they host Cotter. The ram-
blers are 1-6 overall and are com-
ing off a 56-13 loss to Kenyon-
Wanamingo.
The Section 2AA playoffs be-
gin on Tuesday. A win over Cot-
ter would secure a home game in
the opening round of play. Both
ZM and Kenyon-Wanamingo have
2-5 overall records, but ZM has
the tie-breaker with a win over the
Knights. A ZM loss and KW win
over Lewiston-Altura, would
putZM on the road at Kenyon.

Pine Island ups record to 6-1
By Faye Haugen
ST. CHARLES Pine Island
upped their record to 6-1 with a
42-18 win at St. Charles on Fri-
day evening. The victory keeps
the Panthers in second place in
the Southern Football Alliance
White Division, one game behind
conference-leading Triton.
The Panthers got off to modest
start at St. Charles, taking a 7-0
lead in the opening quarter when
Ben Farrell ran for a 65-yard touch-
down with Mitchell Acker kick-
ing the first of six PATs.
The Saints closed the score to
7-6 when Derek McCready hit
Ryan McCormick with a 21-yard
scoring pass. PI came right back,
scoring on a three-yard run by Chris
Frick. Frick then hooked up with
Farrell for a 21-yard scoring pass
to end the half with a 21-6 lead.
A six-yard TD pass from
McCready to McCormick was the
only score of the third quarter, but
the Panthers really got rolling in
the fourth quarter, scoring three
times on a two-yard run by Far-
rell, a run of 34-yard run by Tristan
KW runs wild in a 56-13 win at Winona
By Faye Haugen
WINONA It has been a month
since the Kenyon-Wanamingo
football team has tasted victory.
The Knights earned a win over St.
Charles in their second game of
the season, but then lost four
straight due to injuries and ill-timed
turnovers and penalties.
But the Knights had smiles on
their faces when they made the
trip back from Winona on Friday,
as they clubbed the Ramblers 56-
13 at Winona State University.
KW had big plays the entire game
with four touchdowns of over 50
yards.
The line play on both sides of
the ball was the best team effort to
date, said Coach Troter Bauer.
Things are settling down for us
as we start to really gel as a team
as playoffs approach. Im proud
of the boys as they could have
thrown in the towel on the season,
but instead they are improving with
great strides right before the play-
offs. They believe and are very
resilient. They are not done by
any means.
The Knights got off to a modest
start, leading 3-0 after the first
quarter when Jack Buelke kicked
a 24-yard field goal. But KW got
rolling early in the second quarter
when Calvin Steberg ran from the
four to cap a 15-play, 66-yard drive.
On their next drive, quarterback
Luke Rechtzigel found an open-
ing and raced 54 yards to the end
zone. The Knight defense forced
another Rambler punt, and it didnt
take KW long to score when Ste-
berg found running room down
the side line, racing for an 89-
yard TD. Tanner Warner pushed
the Knights lead to 30-0 with 2:07
to play in the half with a 16-yard
run.
Cotter did get on the scoreboard
just before the half on a five-yard
passing play from Josh Frost to
Andrew Fratzke.
The Knights didnt let up in the
second half, scoring 26 more points.
Jacob Whipple had a TD run of 64
yards, Quinn Traxler recovered a
Cotter fumble and returned it 20
yards to the end zone, and a 79-
yard run by Devyn Stordahl made
for a 49-6 lead at the end of three
quarters.
Cotter scored on a six-yard run
by George Weege to start the fourth
quarter, but KW answered with a
26-yard TD run by Gavin Roosen.
Jack Buelke kicked his fifth PAT
for the 56-13 final score.
Calvin Steberg had a career high
172 yards rushing on 17 carries.
Jacob Whipple also cracked 100
yards rushing finish with 133 yards
on 11 carries. In all, KW rolled up
518 yards rushing. Luke Rechtzi-
gel was 3 of 7 passing for 36 yards.
Caleb Greseth had the longest re-
ception at 17 yards.
Luke called most of the game
himself at quarterback. He is re-
ally maturing at that position. We
also had much better ball security
than against Zumbrota-Mazeppa
the week before, remarked Coach
Bauer, who added, We were able
to spread the ball around with eight
different players scoring.
Kenyon-Wanamingo will close
out regular season play on Wednes-
day evening, October 15, when
they host Lewiston-Altura at 7 p.m.
The Cardinals sport a 4-3 record
after falling to Triton 40-21 on
Friday.
Section 2AA play will begin on
Tuesday, October 21. In order to
earn a home game in the opening
round of the playoffs, the Knights
must beat LA on Wednesday and
hope that ZM loses to Cotter.
Both ZM and KW sport 2-5
overall records with ZM holding
the tie breaker edge with their win
over the Knights earlier in the sea-
son.

volleys between the two teams.
Mia Peterson was steady in the
setting position and she had a solid
night of serving going 25 of 25

especially the first set.
While the Cats struggled in their
opening game, they gave the
Knights a much better match over

What a night. It was great to
see all the little Knight volleyball
players in the crowd tonight. The
kindergarten through third-grad-
ers demonstrated their skills dur-
ing the junior varsity match and
the fourth through six-graders
demonstrated their skills during
the varsity match. We also hon-

KENYON The Kenyon-
Wanamingo volleyball teamupped
their record to 20-5 overall and 9-
1 in HVL play with a pair of wins
this week.
The Knights stopped Medford
in a non-conference game on Mon-
day in Kenyon, and they topped
Goodhue in HVL play on Tues-
day.
The Knights closed out regular
season action on Tuesday when
Stewartville came to town. Sec-
tion 2AA play will begin on Thurs-
day, October 23.
We had one of our best warm-
ups of the season. Everything was
clicking. But at the start of the
first game, out energy level was
very low and girls were not talk-
ing much to each other. Medford
really placed the ball well that first
set and we were letting ball drop
here or there without giving much
effort to get after it, said Coach
Jen Nerison of losing the opening
game 25-23. The girls came out
on fire in that second game and
the energy level was awesome.
Our passing was a little shaky, but
Medford had some good servers
so it was good to get some experi-
ence against them.
KW steps out of HVL play for a win
Standing out for the Knights were:
Mara Quam, 22 kills, 16 digs, four
ace serves; Megan Quam, 15 kills
and 16 digs; Brittney Flom and Emily
Ashland, three blocks each; Kasey
Dummer, 30 digs; and Mia Peterson,
22 set assists and two ace serves.

ZUMBROTA Ken Magnuson
has been fine-tuning his rosemaling
skills since he first took an adult
education class in 1975 in Zum-
brota. A longtime resident of Zum-
brota, he has studied with many
American rosemalers and several
from Norway, and he spent one
week in Norway taking a class.
Rosemaling means decorative
painting in Norwegian. It first
came into existence in Norway
around 1750 when Baroque and
Rococo, artistic styles of the up-
per class, were introduced into rural
culture. Rosemaling artists use C
and S strokes and feature scroll
and flowing lines, floral designs,
and both subtle and vibrant colors
in the creation of pieces.
There are thirteen different
styles of rosemaling, mainly re-
lated to different valleys in Nor-
way, Magnuson said. He received
a gold medal in 2003 from
Vesterheim in the Gallingdal style.
He now paints in a Telemark style
that he learned from Turid Fatland
of Norway.
Norwegian immigrants brought
rosemaling to the United States.
It started to go out of style, how-
ever, in 1860. It experienced a re-
vival in America in the 20th cen-
tury when many Norwegian-
Americans became interested in
the rosemaling possessions of their
ancestors.
One of Magnusons rosemaled
pieces, a chest made by Merlin
Lee (former owner of Main Street
Pharmacy), was accepted for dis-
play in the Norwegian Emigrant
Museum. Magnuson led a tour to
Norway in June 2014 with twelve
Zumbrotans and twenty-one north-
ern Minnesotans that his cousin
got together. When the tour stopped
by the museum, the trunk was not
yet out for display as it had been
delayed in Iowa until enough arti-
facts could be sent over to Nor-
way. The museum staff were able
to find the chest in storage and
showed it to Magnuson and the
others on the tour. It was as beau-
tiful as the day I finished it,
Magnuson said.
The museum is located in Hamar,
and its mission is to increase knowl-
edge of Norwegian emigration and
emigrants, their background and
cultural development in their
adopted countries, and their rela-
tionship to Norway and Norwe-

The Gundersen Cabin from Minnesota is one of the displays at the
Norwegian Emigrant Museum that Ken Magnusons tour visited. Thirty-
five people stood in the cabin when the speaker informed them that it
was about as much space that 40 emigrants would have had when
traveling from Norway to the US on the lower part of the ships. Each
person would have been given about a 3x5 foot space to sleep, eat, and
live for months. The poor were not allowed to come up from below
decks. Many got sick and they started to run out of water. A lot of
emigrants never made it off the ship alive.
gian culture. They want to edu-
cate the people in Norway about
what emigrants went through, their
hardships, where they triumphed,
and why many of them were never
able to come back to Norway.
The museum also has six out-
door buildings that were brought
over from America: the Norman
cabin from North Dakota, the
Gundersen cabin from Minnesota,
a bard and granary from Iowa, a
corncrib from Wisconsin, and the
Norwegian Emigration Memorial
Church (The Oak Ridge Church)
from Minnesota.

Andy Brandel of I & S Group gave
an update on the swimming pool
project at the October 6 Goodhue
City Council meeting. Bids for the
bath house had been opened and
the low bid belonged to WAK

Because there were a few con-

were encouraged to invite or notify
other Korean War Veterans who
would be welcome to join if they
had served in the military between
June 25, 1950, and Jan. 31, 1955.

PINE ISLAND Kyla Mauk,
2014-15 State FFA Vice Presi-
dent for Howard Lake-Waverly-
Winsted Chapter Region 4, and
Alexa Williams, Assistant Officer
for Red Wing Region 8, visited
students in Shawn Ericksons third
hour Exploring AG class at Pine
Island High School on Thursday,
October 9.
Mauk, now attending college
in Brookings, South Dakota, joined
FFA in the eighth grade. Williams,
currently a junior at Red Wing
High School, joined FFA in the
ninth grade. Both are huge advo-
cates of FFA.
Mauk said the main reason for
their visit was to promote agricul-
ture and education by informing
students about the opportunities
FFA provides. The students were
asked to write down what they
were interested in and how they
could use these interests in FFA.
Mauk and Williams then described
the different ways FFA can ben-
efit the students interests and ca-
reer choices.
The National FFA Organization
is an American youth organiza-
tion, specifically a career and tech-
nical student organization, based
on middle and high school classes
that promote and support agricul-
tural education. The organization
was founded in 1928 as Future
Farmers of America, but in 1988
the name was changed to the Na-
tional FFA Organization, now
commonly referred to as simply
FFA, to recognize that the organi-
zation is for those with diverse
interests in the food, fiber and
natural resource industries, encom-
passing science, business and tech-
nology, in addition to production
agriculture. Today FFA is one of
the largest youth organizations in
the United States.

Drivers reminded to
Buckle Up Every Time
Pine Island junior and SADD member Linnea Nichols hands driver senior
Jake Barr a Buckle Up Every Time carabiner and thanks him for
wearing his seat belt.
By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND Pine Island
High School Students Against
Destructive Decisions (SADD)
members handed out Buckle Up
Every Time carabiners to drivers
and passengers who left the school
wearing their seat belts, on
Thursday, October 9.
Carabiners are metal snap-links
used for a wide variety of tasks.
They are used by climbers and are
also handy to use around the house,
workshop, or office. Some people
use them for key rings or for
connecting other things together.
The carabiners were donated by
the PI AAA Foundation.
The students were accompanied
by their advisor Angela Organ and
resource officer Jeff Sjoblom and
patrol deputies Brianna Hanson
and Josh Stehr. The event kicked
off the Towards Zero Deaths seat
belt wave that runs through Octo-
ber 26. Minnesota Law Enforce-
ment will be putting extra enforce-
ment on the road during that time
to focus on seat belt violations.
Pine Island High School recently
reinvigorated their SADD
organization under the guidance
of Sjoblom and newly appointed
advisor Organ. Currently, there
are 35 students participating in
SADD. It is open to grades 9-12.
The original mission of the
SADD chapter was to help young
people say no to drinking and
driving. Today, the mission has
expanded. When it was formed in
1981 it was known as Students
Against Driving Drunk. In 1997,
SADD changed to its current name.
This helped young people address
a wide range of issues they face
today, such as suicide, teen
pregnancy, and violence. The Pine
Island SADD organization plans
to hold a number of fun activities
and awareness events throughout
the year, including a mock car
crash, inviting guest speakers, the
Red Ribbon campaign, and talking
to elementary students.

4-H
4-H Harvest Drive is under way
By Mamie Luhmann
Goodhue County 4-H
Program Coordinator
Goodhue County 4-Hs second
Annual Harvest Drive is now un-
derway. Participating grain eleva-
tors throughout Goodhue County
are collecting donations now and
the Harvest Drive will continue
through the end of the calendar
year.
Money raised will directly ben-
efit Goodhue County 4-Hers
through the programs, training,
teaching and events it offers. In
recent years, Goodhue County 4-
H has voluntarily cut back on the
funding it receives from the county.
The Harvest Drive is yet another
opportunity provided for interested
community members to help
Goodhue County 4-H reach its fi-
nancial goal.
Farmers wishing to donate a
portion of their grain harvest to 4-
H should designate that grain do-
nation at their local elevator and
contact the Extension Office with
their donation information by call-
ing 651-385-3100 or emailing
hartmann@umn.edu. We will
work with the elevator to allocate
that donation.
All donations are tax deduct-
ible and the funds stay local, di-
rectly impacting the youth involved
in Goodhue County 4-H.
We are grateful for the over-
whelming support from the eleva-
tors to make this Harvest Drive
possible, Jill Swenson, Goodhue
County 4-H volunteer, said. With-
out hesitation, the elevators said
yes to this endeavor showing how
valuable they believe 4-H is to
our communities. We thank them.
Participating elevators are: Ag
Partners (all locations) Bombay
Elevators and Interstate Mills in
Kenyon, Nerstrand/Randolph/
Cannon Falls AgriCenter, Red
Wing Grain in Red Wing, and
Gerkens Feed & Grain in Zum-
brota.
Goodhue County 4-H is the largest
4-H program outside the metro area,
and for many families, it is a family
activity. The benefits of 4-H extend
to an entire community through the
strong leadership and commitment to
follow-through and excellence taught
and encouraged through the variety
of programs.
4-H offers so many opportunities
for youth from kindergarten through
their freshman year of college. It is
an organization that empowers youth
to explore areas of interest that may
be new to them, and it also provides
many opportunities for them to be
challenged to do their best in areas
where they excel.
Look for details about the Harvest
Drive at your local elevator. If youd
like to make a monetary donation to
Goodhue County 4-H, please contact
the Goodhue County 4-H office di-
rectly at: UM Ext. Goodhue County,
Govt. Center Rm 102, 509 W. 5th
St., Red Wing, MN 55066-2540 or
call 651-385-3100.
Happy-Go-Luckies 4-H Club elects officers
On September 1, the Belvidere Happy-Go-Luckies 4-H Club had a meeting at St. Peters Lutheran Church in
Belvidere. Elections and demonstrations were held. New officers are, front row, left to right: Kate Stehr,
Cloverbud Leader; Anna Kohlnhofer, Treasurer; Kassie Neeser, reporter; Allison Hanson, historian; middle
row: Maddie Schafer, President and County Council Representative; Emily Benrud, Secretary and County
Council Alternate Representative; Megan Ryan, Cloverbud Leader; back row: Ryan Hanson, County Council
Alternate Representative; Laurel Custer, historian and Eli Custer, Vice President. Demonstrations were given
by sisters Kate and Tally Stehr on making smore pops; Alexa Schafer on Kool-Aid shakes; Ethan Schafer on
football treats; and Anika Schafer on fruit and cream cheese parfaits.
Designed to honor the families
of active and veteran members of
the military, the Minnesota Mili-
tary Family Tribute (MFT) will
be the first of its kind in the na-
tion. Poised on the grounds of the
Minnesota State Capitol mall, the
tribute will thank those who have
made, and continue to make, sac-
rifices here at home.
Framing the south end of the
Minnesota State Capitol mall, the
tribute will consist of three main
components: the Gold Star Table,
the Thank You Military and Vet-
eran Family Walkway and Story
Stones. You can visit the MFT
website at
www.militaryfamilytribute.org for
complete details and artists ren-
derings.
The MFT has partnered with
County Veterans Service Offices
throughout the state to collect cor-
respondence from military fami-
lies to assist in the creation of the
story stones. Eighty-seven (87)
story stones will be arranged as
part of the tribute, representing
each of the states eighty-seven
counties. Excerpts from correspon-
dence sent between military mem-
bers and their family will be etched
onto these stones, providing a win-
dow into the lives of our military
families and their sacrifices, as
well as imparting a strong educa-
tional component for the tribute.
The Goodhue County Veterans
Service Office will be collecting
submissions for inclusion on the
countys story stone. Submissions
may be from anywhere from the
Civil War to the present, and need
not be from a conflict. Examples
include a letter, telegram, e-mail,
or even video, which will be tran-
scribed to written word for inclu-
sion on the stone. While only a
small portion of any contributed
submission will be etched into the
stone, likely a portion of a sen-
tence, the stories will depict the
lives of our military families.
To submit a story, please pro-
vide a copy of your submission to
the Goodhue County Veterans
Service Office no later than No-
vember 7, 2014. Please send cop-
ies of your correspondence sub-
mission to:
Robby Robinson
Goodhue County Veterans Ser-
vice Office
509 West 5th Street
Room 101
Red Wing, MN 55066
Robby.robinson@co.goodhue.

For all, the tribute will serve as
a reminder of the sacrifices mili-
tary and veteran families make to
our nation. It shows military and
veteran families we thank them,
we care and we will never forget.
The tribute will forever stand as a
thank you to every Minnesota
military and veteran family mem-
ber past, present and future. The
dedication of the tribute will take
place on June 13, 2015 on the
grounds of the Minnesota State
Capitol.
For more information, please
contact the Goodhue County Vet-
erans Service Office at (651)385-

RED WING Goodhue County
Commissioners broke into broad
smiles at their October 7 meeting
as years of debate and planning
came to a final vote. They autho-
rized staff to invite bids for the
remodeling of Red Wings his-
toric Citizens Bank Building as a
new home for all employees of
the countys Health and Human
Services division. So ended sev-
eral years of study and debate
prompted by the amalgamation of
the former Public Health and So-
cial Services divisions, and the
condemnation of the now-demol-
ished Public Health Building just
north of the Government Center.
Efforts to sell the Citizens Build-
ing as a prestige office were un-
successful due to the cost of years
of deferred maintenance and up-
grading to 21st century standards.
Demolition of the building was
not an option.
Construction set for 2015
The project now goes to bid,
with a target of awarding the main
contract in December. If all goes
well, work will start in March 2015
with completion in late 2015. At
that point, all Health and Human
Services staff will be under one
roof for the first time. The build-
ing will provide a safe and secure
environment for staff and public.
All interview rooms will be at
ground level with full disabled
access. Final cost estimates run
between $5-6 million, a sum that
will be paid with long-term bonds.
As the bonds used to fund the Law
Enforcement Center in 2002 are
about to be retired, the countys
bond payments are expected to
remain at the current $2 million
per year.
Security upgrade
Security at all county locations,
including the Adult Detention
Center, Public Works and the re-
cycling depot, needs major im-
provements to meet current needs
and rules, IT Director Randy
Johnson told the board. The board
gave the go-ahead for the $91,000
design phase of the project. Total
cost will be about $1.3 million.
Rollin and Sharon Larson were
given a permit to install a mobile
home on their land on 315th St in
Vasa Township for health rea-
sons. Their son will live in the
home and work with them in their
greenhouse flower business.
Bids will be sought for
Citizens Building remodel
Residents oppose
Byllesby trail plans
By Paul Martin
RED WING At the October 7
Goodhue County Board of Com-
missioners meeting, Commissioner
Richard Samuelson noted that he
had received correspondence op-
posing the proposed trail to a sce-
nic viewpoint at the west end of
the Lake Byllesby County Park.
The board voted on September 16
to apply for a Legacy Fund grant
to cover 75% of the cost of the
trail.
If we get a grant for this trail,
we should hold a public hearing
in Cannon Falls to get feedback
from neighbors, he said. The
hearing would not be on whether
to accept the grant and go ahead,
as we have been working on this
project for nine years. Local match-
ing funds are in place. We would
just need to resolve differences.
Chairman Ron Allen disagreed.
We would need a vote on whether
to accept the grant and build the
trail, he said.
Hwy 19 resident Ron Freeberg
attended the meeting and shared
his concern afterwards. The cur-
rent path was put through without
agreement with neighbors, he said,
and the grant application was
made without proper notice.
Sheriffs deputies make repeated
visits now to prevent cliff jump-
ing. When that happens, kids es-
cape through my back yard.
Stanton Town Supervisor Dave
Pederson manages the Boy Scout
camp which adjoins the park. We
oppose this trail on safety grounds,
he said. There is a serious risk of
a fatal accident, both for youths
who come to jump, and for the
sheriffs deputies who have to
control them. We were promised
the area would be kept safe, but it
isnt possible.
The decision on whether or not
Goodhue County will get a grant
for the trail, or for the RV camp-
ground also proposed for the park,
will probably be published around
March. Allen said his guess is that
there is a 10% chance the trail will
receive a grant.

GOODHUE Did you know
that 160,000 students stay home
from school each day because of
their fear of being bullied? Did
you know that over 77% of students
say they have been bullied verbally,
mentally or physically? Well, these
are facts. October is National Bully
Prevention Month, but Goodhue
FCCLA has decided to work on
this issue throughout the school
year.
Goodhue FCCLA has created a
project based on the beliefs of
Rachel Joy Scott, who was the
first victim of the Columbine High
School massacre. Scott believed
that there is a great amount of power
in a simple act of kindness. She
said, I have this theory that if one
person can go out of their way to
show compassion, then it will start
a chain reaction of the same. People
will never know how far a little
kindness can go.
In August, the chapter kicked
off their Hats off to Kindness
campaign by inviting in Olivia
Wicklund, who is a past national
FCCLA officer. She, along with
state officer Tiffanie Anderson,
explained to teachers the beliefs
of Rachels Challenge, and
explained what Goodhue FCCLA
has planned for the year. All
teachers were given the task of
nominating students who they saw
doing something kind for another
student. At the end of each month,
one elementary student and one
high school student would win a
Wildcat hat for their act of kindness.
Septembers winners were first-
grader Isabella Germann Hutter
and freshman Catherine Fox. Mrs.
Larson nominated Hutter for
helping out another student during
a physical education class. Fox
was nominated by Mrs. McCleary

for sharing her Chromebook
charger with another student. These
simple acts of kindness made a
difference in other students lives.
Throughout the year, the chapter
will be continuing the Wildcat hat
giveaway, inviting speakers in to
talk to the students, and giving
presentations to all students in
grades 5-8. It is the hope of the
chapter that by creating a climate
of kindness, bullying will happen
less often.
WETC informational meeting held
By R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE On Thursday,
October 9, Wasioja Education
Technology Cooperative (WETC)
Director Aaron Bergstralh and
representatives from the WETC
co-op school districts (Kenyon-
Wanamingo, Zumbrota-Mazeppa,
Goodhue, and Cannons Falls)
gathered in their schools
Instructional Television (ITV)
rooms for a meeting. WETC
provides internet access,
networking, and technology
support in addition to video/voice/
data transmission for ITV classes
and connections for virtual field
trips. The four schools have a total
of 80 servers and five full-time
technicians.
Superintendents Jeff Evert from
KW, Tony Simons from ZM, and
Mike Redmond from Goodhue
were all in attendance, along with
several school board members from
those three districts. The Cannon
Falls School District is new to
WETC this year and was repre-
sented by its two IT techs.
Bergstralh explained that 85%
of students have successfully
completed ITV classes, which is a
much higher rate that those doing
online courses. The cost per student
taking ITV classes is $230, which
is far below the state average. Last
year, 536 students between the three
schools participated in WETC ITV
classes and there were 137 students
who took two or more classes. The
average class size was just over
19 students. WETC offers 21
different classes in six subjects,
including eight Advanced
Placement (AP) classes for college
credits.
Many questions were asked
about the future of WETC,
especially with the advancement
of the cloud. Bergstrahl said that
the cloud is actually Wide Area
Network (WAN), which is a means
to connect several users and com-
puters in one location so they can
communicate with users and com-
puters in other locations. Many
WANs are built for one particular
organization, such as schools, and
are privately owned. Bergstrahl
said that the movement to the cloud
and to Chromebooks will result in
cheaper ITV classes in the future.
In 1988, the schools of Triton,
KW, ZM, and Goodhue entered
into an agreement with WETC for
internet access and technology
support. Since then, Triton has
dropped out of the
agreement. Evert said that many
of the questions that were asked
were the same ones that were asked
in 1988 and that WETC had been
very quick and efficiently handled
all problems.

Wanamingo first-graders at the Fire Station during Fire Prevention
Week on October 10. Students were encouraged to go home and talk
with their parents about a fire escape plan and testing smoke detectors.
WANAMINGO In honor of
Fire Prevention Week, Wanamingo
firefighters and First Responders
Todd Kyllo, Luke Swanson and
Brian Radtke went to Kenyon-
Wanamingo Elementary School
on Thursday, October 9, to share
fire prevention and safety infor-
mation with students. The three
drove a fire truck to the school
and in full turnout gear spoke with
the preschool and kindergarten
groups. On October 10, all stu-
dents in first grade walked to the
Wanamingo Fire Station with
teachers and staff to meet with
firemen Mat Schaefer, Jeremy
Kiffmeyer, Brian Gudknecht and
Radtke.
On Thursday, preschoolers and
kindergarteners had a chance to
see the firefighters in full turnout
gear. Kyllo said, Kids in fires
have a tendency to hide, and so I
put all of my gear on to show them
each piece and try to ease the fears;
reminding them its probably one
of their friends dads under all that
gear.
Children are instructed that if
they are unable to get out of the
house during a fire, to stay near
the floor in a closed room yelling
as loud as they can for help. Kyllo
said, This is always fun for the
students to practice!
The firemen also take the chil-
dren outside to show them a truck
and the array of tools they carry.
Students have the opportunity to
hold a hose, and climb inside the
fire trucks cab. At the end of the
presentation, they are given ei-
ther a fire prevention coloring book
or a plastic fire chiefs helmet.
Kyllo said, When we meet with
young kids, we talk about calling
911. He said it is important for
children of preschool age to be
able to tell the 911 operator their
own name and the names of their
parents, since most preschool chil-
dren have not learned their ad-
dresses yet. The firemen also talk
to students about using the stop,
drop and roll technique in the event
clothes catch on fire. Kyllo said,
We talk about smoke alarms and
the importance of testing alarms
regularly. We lead them in a dis-
cussion about having fire drills at
school, and a fire plan at home;
including knowing the safe place
where they will meet their fami-
lies.
The fire prevention and safety
talk also includes homework for
the students. The children are en-
couraged to go home and talk to
their parents about testing smoke
detectors and reviewing or devel-
oping a family fire plan.
Kyllo said not enough families
have a safety plan in place. De-
veloping a safety plan and mak-
ing sure children in the house prac-
tice it and know it well are vital
steps in ensuring family safety.
Follow these basic steps to begin
a plan:
1. Meet with everyone in the
house to make a plan.
2. Walk through the residence
and inspect all possible exits and
escape routes.
3. Draw a floor plan showing
all windows and doors.
4. Determine two ways out of
each room, including doors and
windows.
5. Practice a mock escape with
everyone in the family.
6. Choose an outside meeting
place, such as a neighbors house,
a light post, or mailbox, a safe
distance from the house. Mark the
meeting place on the escape plan.
7. Have everyone memorize the
plan, the meeting place, and the
house number.
8. If there are infants or family
members with mobility limitations,
assign a person to assist them; and
assign a back-up person too.
At the fire station on Friday,
Schaefer and Kiffmeyer also ex-
plained to first-graders the roles
of firemen and First Responders,
answered numerous questions
about the trucks and tools and con-
ducted a tour of the fire station.

GOODHUE SENIOR PROFILES
WANAMINGO The
Wanamingo City Council ap-
proved the hiring a Brad Kennedy
for the Public Works maintenance
worker position at the October 6
council meeting. The position be-
came available last month after
Public Works Director Steve
Haggstrom submitted his letter of
resignation. October 6 was also
Kennedys first day on the job.
A special city council meeting
was held on September 22 to con-
duct final interviews for the posi-
tion. Fifteen applicants applied,
and seven of those were previ-
ously interviewed by the Person-
nel Committee. The two candi-
dates considered as finalists for
the position, Brad Kennedy and
Jarvis Groth, were interviewed on
September 22 by the council. At
the meeting the council discussed
the wage to be offered for the po-
sition. A motion was made by Jamie
Majerus to offer the position to
Groth for $20.80 per hour, with
authorization to offer Kennedy the
position at the same rate if Groth
declined. The motion carried.
The special meeting was open
for about one and a half hours.
The only other business discussed
was a strategy for the repayment
of money owed to the city by a
local businessman.
On September 25, City Admin-
istrator Michael Boulton contacted
Groth to offer him the position. It
was noted in council documents
that Groth declined the position
but a reason was not indicated. At
that time Kennedy was contacted,
and he accepted the position.
Public Works report
At the October 6 meeting, Monty
Schaefer provided the council with
an update of recent jobs completed.
Schaefer said another water shut-
off was found to be leaking and
was repaired. A shut-off valve on
Mill Street was damaged by a
grader and was replaced. At the
wastewater treatment plant, a
screen door and lights were re-
placed. City streets were swept.
The Wanamingo Nature Trail was
mowed for the last time this sea-
son. The new water utility meter
reader system experienced some
glitches; Schaefer said they will
Wanamingo hires new

get the problems figured out. Alu-
minum cans collected in the wagon
at Cenex were taken to recycling.
Schaefer said county staff was
coming the next day to do some
street repair work.
