Hand-lettered sign painting
By Marilyn Anderson MAZEPPA Mazeppa Mardi Gras Panel Jam is expected to draw 75-100 American and international sign painters March 4-8. The event will mark the fourth letterhead meet that local sign painter and artist Mike Meyer, and his hometown of Mazeppa, have hosted since 1999. Other local meets took place in 2004 and 2005. The five-day meet will include seminars, discussions, and painting at Meyers sign shop at 189 1st Ave N in Mazeppa. Based on previous meets, it is not uncommon for local residents to stop by
to see what projects are being painted or hear a lively discussion. Additional activities, meals, and entertainment are planned for the artists and guests accompanying them, during their visit. For a village the size of Mazeppa to host an event this size, support from the community is essential. Meyer said the help from local businesses, organizations and individuals allows him to keep costs down for those who travel to Mazeppa for the event. In addition to the option of staying at area hotels, attendees often stay in the homes of area residents. If
In addition to the activities planned for the meet attendees, the public is invited to two events. On Thursday evening, March 6, the movie Sign Painters will be shown at the State Theatre in Zumbrota at 7:30 p.m. The movie, directed by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon, is an 80-minute documentary about the dedicated practitioners, their time-honoured methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. It features the stories of more than two dozen sign painters working throughout the United States including Meyer. A trailer of the movie can be seen at http:// signpaintermovie.blogspot.com/ A book of the same name was published in November 2012, and Meyer will be available to sign copies before and after the showing of the film, which he will also introduce. On Saturday evening, March 8, a public art and sign auction will be held at the Mazeppa Community Center beginning at approxi-
Sign painting is the art of painting on buildings, billboards, murals, barns, or other objects, primarily for the purpose of announcing or advertising products, services and events. Up until the
1980s, all were hand-lettered with brush and paint. But with the advent of computer technology, the craft has all but disappeared and is now taught in only a few schools. Meyers dad was a barber who also painted signs between haircuts and showed his son how to do it. Besides teaching at workshops and meets in the United States, Meyer began teaching hand-lettering workshops internationally over ten years ago. This month (February 2014) Meyer has been traveling in Europe, conducting
two-day workshops in London, Berlin, Warsaw, and Amsterdam, before returning to Mazeppa to make final preparations for the Mazeppa Mardi Gras Panel Jam. At his workshops, Meyer teaches the basic foundations of drawing and brush lettering, including what letters have to be built like and filling in. Four lettering styles are taught: gothic, thick n thin, casual and Meyers favorite: script. The most important thing, however, according to Meyer, is for it to be fun.

The top team for the girls was the juniors. The senior boys went on to win in the finals moving them up to the championship playoffs against the co-ed staff team. The tournament ended with the staff team winning the championship. The week-long celebration ended with a scheduled half-day of school on Friday and a snow dance on Saturday at the school.

Relationships
From Devils Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher
Relationships are the most important factor in our lives. Some of you may say, Fisher, why are you stating the obvious? While others may say, You are wrong, it is the economy. Or it might be some other factor. An endless list of choices exists from which to choose. Relationships are easy to make the first time, easier to destroy, and then extremely hard to rebuild. What is the difference between a good salesman and a great salesman? A good salesman sells 100% of the quota set, plus or minus 5%. A great salesman sells 200% or more. The secret of the great salesman is relationships. He builds strong, positive relationships between his/her customers and himself. Do you have a favorite car or truck dealership? Is it the brand or the dealer or maybe both? When you decide you want/need a replacement vehicle, do you shop around or do you go to that dealership? If you have a strong relationship with a salesman or the service team, it is one-stop shop-
ping. My mother had a strange habit when it came to grocery shopping. She had established relationships with the butchers and bakers in one store and did her other shopping at a competitors store. She felt she was getting the best value for her money. I believe in recognizing every worker in the store. They are all important to me. One of my high school summers, I worked in a grocery store. When I spent a summer at college, I helped out at the local hamburger stand. That place had a reputation in Lafayette that went beyond Purdue University. On Sundays, people would wait in line in their cars to get lunch after church. Sometimes when I walk through a store where I have established relationships, I tease anyone I see with their hands in their pockets. (Why, whats wrong with putting your hands in your pockets? It sends a message that you do not have enough to do. In todays world, that is reason enough to have the career guidance meeting with the manager.) Why do I enjoy relationships and people will go the extra mile (or 1.6 kilometers) for you? Recently one of my daughters used the relationship for a surprise birthday party for me. I was set up beautifully. Saturday, I went gro-
cery shopping. Sunday, my spouse insisted that we needed to go to go again. I asked, For what? and the answer was we need to go. When we entered, we had to get coffee for five adults. We sat down at the biggest round table. Suddenly, twenty-some employees surrounded us and presented a cake with a dragon done in the frosting (dark chocolate cake). Then they sang Happy Birthday and wished me well. Afterword, I went to the bakery to find out who made the cake and frosting. I was told she wasnt there on Sunday. Then I heard another bakery clerk who turned to a third clerk. She asked, Is that the guy who we made the dragon cake for? The reply was yes. Oh, I thought it was for someone celebrating his 100th birthday! What can you say after that!? These relationships also let me show interest in the other person. Existence is another factor of being alive. Recognizing each other is a way of saying, You exist! Try this: the next time you are eating out in a sit-down restaurant, every time someone fills your water glass or coffee cup, give them a Thank you! Mentally keep track of the change in the servers attitude toward you. Your thank yous are recognition of their existence. See if it makes a difference. Until next week.

Mardi Paws Masquerade animal rescue fundraiser is March 1
By Marilyn Anderson ROCHESTER Area volunteers invite you to join them for their first ever Mardi Paws Masquerade on Saturday evening, March 1, from 7-10 p.m. at the Rochester Arts Center, 40 Civic Center Drive, SE. Tickets are available online at http://www.campcompanion. org/ The evening is planned to capture the sights, sounds, and festivities of New Orleans, while raising funds for Camp Companion. Camp Companion is an all-volunteer animal rescue group, dedicated to preventing future generations of homeless animals.
Evening festivities
Lowell Hinrichs and Loretta Broas practice their waves in anticipation of their upcoming duties after being crowned king and queen on Valentines Day at Zumbrota Health Services. They were selected by staff, residents, and family members and will reign over festivities during the coming year.
Hinrichs and Broas are crowned Valentines Day King and Queen
By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA Residents, staff, and guests filled the main lobby of Zumbrota Health Services (ZHS) as the 2014 Valentines Day King and Queen were crowned the afternoon of February 14. Lowell Hinrichs and Loretta Broas were chosen by residents, family members, and staff, to reign over celebrations throughout the coming year, including the Covered Bridge Festival in June. Lacey Boesen, ZHS Director of Activities and Volunteer Services, welcomed everyone to the coronation and emceed the event. Residents Don Aarsvold and Charlie Lukes gave love-themed readings prior to Boesen announcing the 2014 royalty. Following a drum roll, Hinrichs was crowned King by Lisa Trom, ZHS restorative nursing assistant. After he took his seat of honor, Hinrichs, now facing those gathered in the lobby, gave a wave to everyone. Next, it was time for Trom to find the Queen among those gathered. Broas was quite surprised and even tearful to have been selected queen. She said it was quite an honor to be chosen. Following coronation, volunteer Rose Durhman played several songs on the piano, including Let Me Call You Sweetheart. Cookies and cupcakes were served as refreshments.
To capture the masquerade theme, the Arts Center will be decorated, reminiscent of New Orleans French Quarter. Costumes for the evening are not only welcome, but encouraged. The festive atmosphere will also be captured with special Mardi Paws masks. Local artists will display their work, with an opportunity for attendees to help homeless animals by purchasing pieces of art. Costumed students of the arts will serve desserts from Catering by Design while music is provided by Take Two and Friends. Robin Wolfram, KTTC reporter and animal lover, is emceeing the event.
Volunteers
Sara Linker Nord of rural Zumbrota has been a volunteer with Camp Companion, an animal rescue group, for seven years. In addition to fostering cats and dogs until adoption, she and her husband, Craig Nord, have adopted a cat, Charlie, and a dog, Beebe.
Volunteers are the sole source of strength of Camp Companion, giving of their time and following the organizations mission. Camp Companion, founded in 2003, has an aggressive spay/neuter program targeting farm, feral and stray cats, centered on the approach of trapneuter-return (TNR). Zumbrota volunteers include
Sara Linker Nord, Joan Wood, and Carol Post. Linker Nord, a volunteer for seven years, said the program is somewhat unique in that besides its focus on TNR, it doesnt have a shelter for homeless animals. Instead, it relies on volunteers to provide foster homes for the animals until adoption occurs. Adoption events are held each Saturday at Rochester pet stores with information about specific available pets found on the organizations website. A modest adoption fee helps cover the services the pet has received (spay/neuter
and vaccinations). If interested in volunteering, Linker Nord can be contacted at 732-7639, or view the many ways you can help that are listed on the website.
TNR
TNR is becoming recognized as an effective and humane strategy for managing and reducing feral cat populations. Camp Companion supports this belief and how towns and communities are benefitted through TNR. Additional information about TNR can also be found on their website.
ZUMBROTA After a morning with temperatures in the 30s on February 13 the temperatures dropped to the teens and wind conditions picked up in the afternoon. Strong winds blew snow and caused drifting along many roadways, making for unexpected and sometimes dangerous driving conditions. Traffic was brought to a standstill on Highway 52 south of Zumbrota after a semi truck went off the road and jack-knifed in the median near 480th Street. Traffic was backed up to south of the Pine Island exit.
of their donations, while helping people during their greatest hour of need. In 2013, the local food shelf served approximately 3620 people (some duplicated due to return visits) and distributed approximately 126,400 pounds of food. Regarding specific usage and concerns locally, Director Deb Walstad said, I think the cost of food is one our biggest concerns. The usage is up along with the family size. I expect we will see a trickle down effect with the cold winter and heating bills this winter. In a few months we will probably see an even larger increase. She added, We can use any nonperishable foods as well as cash donations. Kid-friendly food is always a good choice.
In 2012, more than 544,000 Minnesotans received federal food assistance one out of every 10 people in the state. One-third of these were children. Another quarter were the elderly or disabled adults. The total is more than the combined populations of Minneapolis, Rochester and Apple Valley.
How to donate
Donations can be mailed to Zumbrota Area Food Shelf, PO Box 43, Zumbrota, MN 55992. Volunteers will be available every Tuesday during the month of March from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. for donations. The Food Shelf is located at 242 Main Street with access from the back via the alley between Main Street and West Avenue off 2nd Street.

The council voted to support including the surrounding Southeast Minnesota League of Municipalities (SEMLM) members city projects in the bonding bill as long as the City of Goodhue is able to include a municipal swimming pool project. Every two years the legislature and governor work on this bill to provide funding for publicly owned buildings, property, and land. In particular, state agencies have buildings or property that are in need of repair, renovation, or replacement. State colleges and universities tend to have a large request because they have a lot of buildings. To be bondable the project has to be publicly owned, be of state or regional significance, and be a capital projectmeaning it has to be bricks and mortar and not for ongoing operation costs. The state raises money for these projects by selling general obligation bonds on the bond market. The state then pays the debt service to pay off the bonds over time. SEMLM promotes regional legislative policy and is run by members. It encourages neighbor cit-
ies to work together and is open to cities of all sizes. SEMLM serves the Minnesota counties of Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha, and Winona. Some of the surrounding member city projects include: Oronoco Lake Shady project; Kasson/Mantorville wastewater treatment facility; Red Wing west fire station and training facility, levee road and waterfront improvements, and Sheldon Theatre; Zumbrota Old Highway 52 reconstruction within city, Goodhue Pioneer Trail (along with other cities); Cannon Falls Mill Towns Trail
Employee review finalization
The city approved giving city employees $350 additional dollars per month in their paychecks to assist in paying for health insurance. In addition to that, city employees will receive a two percent increase this year as well as a two percent increases next year. The city did not agree to place a cap on wage increases at this point.

Obituaries
Rae Ormsby 1945-2014
Pine Island. She regarded her grandchildren, Isaac, 10, and Alma, 5, as a special blessing. Rae was a member Pine Island United Methodist Church, where she was active on the Worship Committee and Church Council, and loved teaching the high school Sunday School class. After retirement, she volunteered at the Salvation Army Health Clinic in Rochester and the Pine Island History Center, where she was known as the loom expert. She had a special love for Pine Islands Van Horn Public Library, where she served on the Board and did a variety of volunteered tasks, such as shelving and creating displays. In her spare time, Rae was an avid reader, enjoyed worldwide travel, and loved to sew anything from church banners to prom dresses. Rae was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her husband Rick of Pine Island, son Gabe (Heidi Eschenbacher), daughter Rebekah Ormsby (David Lofquist). and grandchildren Isaac and Alma, all living in Minneapolis. Diagnosed with advanced cancer over a year ago, Rae came to regard the past year as one of best of her life. She spent extra time with her immediate family, including week-long excursions to Disney World and Itasca State Park. She was in touch with many lifelong friends and was encouraged by cards, flowers, and notes of appreciation. She loved life, felt blessed beyond words, and only lamented that it was coming to an end. She died a truly grateful and happy woman, trusting a gracious God for her future. A memorial service and remembrance will be held at Pine Island United Methodist Church, 200 North Main Street, at noon on Saturday, February 22. The family will host a calling hour beginning at 11 a.m. at the church. A luncheon will follow at the American Legion Hall, 108 1st Avenue SE. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested for Pine Island United Methodist Church, Seasons Hospice in Rochester, or the Pine Island Van Horn Public Library.

By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND Over one hundred people participated in the Pine Island Winter Fest event which took place on February 8. The fun and educational outdoors event was sponsored by the Pine Island Image Committee, a branch of the Economic Development Authority, and the Pine Island High School Environmental Club, Roots and Shoots. Winter enthusiasts glided across the snow on cross country skis, hiked through the snow on snowshoes or simply enjoyed taking a beautiful walk along a candlelit trail in the moonlight on one of the nicer nights of this winter season. Over 500 votives were used to light the three-mile trail. Boy Scout Troop 69 helped patrol road crossings. The Eagle Bluff Environmental Nature Center also held three winter classes during the event, the Big Freeze, Winter Survival, and Introduction to Snowshoeing. About forty-five people participated in the different outdoor classes. Mary Beth Bakeberg, one of the event organizers, said people came and went all through the af-

Pine Island man dies in rollover accident
By Alicia Hunt-Welch A fatal accident on Interstate 90 claimed the life of a Pine Island man in the early morning on February 10. The accident occurred at about 5:52 a.m. near milepost 220 in Olmsted County. John Kenworthy, 55, was traveling east on I-90 when his 2007 Chevy Uplander rolled multiple time into the median. He was pronounced dead at the scene. No other vehicles were involved in the crash. At the time of the accident road conditions were listed as dry and that alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the crash. The driver was not wearing a seat belt. The Olmsted County Sheriffs Office assisted the State Patrol on the accident.

Goodhue stumbles at Dover-Eyota
By Faye Haugen EYOTA Even though they were one seed lower than DoverEyota in the Section 1A wrestling duals, Goodhue had high hopes of pulling off a slight upset and heading to Rochester for the second straight year. That was not the case, as fourth-seeded DE earned an easy 42-18 win over the fifth-seeded Wildcats in Eyota, Thursday. Goodhue got off to a 9-3 start through 120 pounds, but the Eagles reeled off 13 straight points through 145 pounds before Casey Deneen earned a decision at 152 pounds. But the Wildcats would score just six points on a first period fall by Charles Dahling at 170 pounds over the last six weights. Goodhue ends the season with an 18-11 dual meet record. The Wildcats will graduate seven seniors in Matthew Lexvold, Riley Huemann, Gavin Luhman, Matthew Deneen, Zach Scott, Ben Ramboldt and Josh Dahling.

Trent Brossard got KW back on track with a decision at 145, handing fifth-ranked AJ Riley his third loss of the season. But the second-seeded Gophers then reeled off two falls to increase their lead to 30-6. Luke Rechtzigel earned a decision at 160 and Drew Sathrum won by technical fall at 170 to draw KW to 30-14. When Chatfield earned a major decision at 195 pounds, they sealed their second straight section title. Its frustrating, said Coach Ryan of losing in the finals for the fifth straight year. But the Knights have plenty to look forward to next season with the bulk of their lineup returning. KW graduates just three seniors in Jace Clawiter, Trent Brossard and Kyle Munstermann. I like what we have coming back. We will just have to spread some kids out and hope some grow more than others. But it sure would have been nice to get the win this season.

McNallan earns her fifth trip to State Lakeville North stops DC girls again
By Faye Haugen INVER GROVE HEIGHTS Most of the Pine Island gymnastics team saw their season come to an end at the Section 1A meet at Simley High School in Inver Grove Heights on Saturday. But one gymnast will keep her season going for one more week. Senior Siera McNallan placed in the top four in three events at the Section 1A meet to advance to the State Class A individual meet that will be held Saturday at the Pavilion at the University of Minnesota. This will be McNallans fifth trip in six years to the state meet. Siera qualified for State on bars, floor and all around. This is her fifth State trip, only missing out her eighth grade year, said Coach Chris Templeton. She had a season best 9.5 on the floor, and it was nice to see her hit her floor routine. The last two years she has taken a fall in this event. She also landed her vault, but didnt receive the score she deserved in my opinion. McNallan placed third on the bars and fourth on the floor and all around. Competition starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Austin ran away with the Section 1A title with 149.225 points. Byron/Lourdes was second with 237.60 and the Panthers placed third with a score of 135.25. The girls had a great meet today. We started on the floor. The girls have been working on perfecting their floor routines this week and it really showed today. Our counting scores were all over eight for the first time this year. The girls really hit the vault, and all the girls swung good bars, pointed out Coach Templeton. Weve had our struggles with beam this year, and although we didnt completely overcome them we did have a season high team score. We also had season high scores on vault and floor. Our team total of 135.225 was also a season best. The Panthers peaked at the right time of the season by evidence of the personal best scores they put up. Brittney Arndt (floor, vault, bars, beam, all around), Brook Schaefer (vault), Katie Schultz (vault) and Allie Anderson (beam) all had personal best scores during the meet. Caledonia/Spring Grove After having to reschedule three times, the Panthers wrapped up Southeast Gymnastics conference action on Tuesday at Caledonia Spring Grove. Pine Island was a 130.10-127.025 winner. Vault went well for us, with the girls taking four of the top five spots. Bars didnt go so good. We had three falls and our form was off tonight. The floor was both good and bad and we finished on the beam. Weve spent a lot of time on beam the last two weeks and its starting to show. We only counted two falls, and our team score on beam of 32.775 was our second highest score of the season, explained Coach Templeton. Placing against Caledonia were Siera McNallan, first on the bars, vault, floor and all around; Katie Schultz, second on the floor; and Brook Schaefer, second on the beam and third on the bars and all around. Schultz scored a personal best on the floor, and McNallan had a season best score on the floor. The Panthers will graduate three seniors from this years team in Siera McNallan, Allie Anderson and Katie Schultz. By Faye Haugen OWATONNA For the second straight year Lakeville North stopped the Dodge County girls hockey team from realizing a trip to the State Class A hockey tournament. North handed the secondseeded Wildcats a 6-1 defeat in the Section 1AA finals in Owatonna on Thursday. It was just not the Wildcats day as they were held to a season low 11 shots on goal by the Panthers. Lakeville jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first period and were up 3-0 before Dana Rasmussen scored for Dodge County midway through the second period. North answered that goal with two more of their own for a 5-1 lead after two. The top-seeded Panthers added a solo goal in the third period. Gabby Suhr turned back 27 shots in goal as Dodge County ends the season at 22-6. The Wildcats will have the majority of their team back, but they lose two starters to graduation in Emily Gunderson and Darby Dodds. Reserves Samantha McElmury and Eryn Larson also graduate.
