To the Editor:
One of the most divisive and
polarizing issues in American his-
tory, the Affordable Health Care
Act, will be debated again this fall
in many political races through-
out the country. Some will say its
time to focus on other issues, yet
others will say its the prelude to a
bigger national debate in 2016.
If the U.S. Senate falls into Re-
publican control, what kind of
changes are we talking about?
Over the past few years, Con-
gressman Paul Ryan and his Re-
publican colleagues in the House
of Representatives have proposed
turning Medicare into a voucher
(premium support) program, push-
ing people into the private market
to look for health insurance. Its
ironic, but the federal exchanges
set up in Obama Care almost do
the same thing. One reason Medi-
care became a law in the mid-60s
is that private insurance compa-
nies couldnt make a profit insur-
ing older folks. Now, do we really
want to go in that direction?
Those of us who live in south-
eastern Minnesota know that the
Mayo Clinic system has few com-
petitors for our health care dol-
lars. They keep expanding in Roch-
ester and gobbling up small town
clinics. Wheres the competition?
Without Medicare to grease the
health care machine, how would
the Mayo Clinic and other hospi-
tals survive? Right now, roughly
30% of Medicare dollars are spent
on beneficiaries during the last year
of life. Unless something changes,
even more dollars will go toward
end of life because more people
will suffer from dementia,
Parkinsons, and diabetes in the
future.
Rather than looking backwards,
we should look ahead. The debate
shouldnt be about profits before
people. It should be about dignity
over pessimism and fear.
Jeffrey Flaten
Dennison

Its Over!
You may not agree with me.
College and high school sports are
done, finished! It was a fun ride
for some and too serious a ride for
others. The college teams will be
the first to shut down. For some
schools, before they stop entirely,
they may revert back to the begin-
ning of college sports when all the
college teams were paid athletes!
For example, the Purdue Boiler-
makers were men who worked in
the boiler manufacturing company.
Eventually, college students re-
placed the hired players.
Todays students train harder,
are built stronger, and hit harder
than ever before. Almost all of
the players of every college level
sport are on scholarships. The
scholarship may be the only ticket
for the student to enter college.
For many students, being success-
ful in college means being suc-
cessful in a sport.
Yet the signs and portents are
signaling the end of the game.
Several colleges are in the midst
of creating and allowing the play-
ers to unionize. According to some
schools, only the top 10% of the
college sports programs (the ex-
tra-curricular program) show a
profit and make money for the
school. The rest are losing money
and trying to cover it by raising
tuition, etc. The definition of
amateur and professional is blur-
ring.
Most, if not all, college profes-
sors dont make a million dollar a
year salary while most head
coaches do! The professors can
get to the million dollar level by
forming businesses and running
them at the same time they are
teaching. So dont feel too sorry
for them. Since the unions havent
been formed yet, we dont know
what the students will want. But I
think one can make a good guess.
(This is left as an exercise for the
most casual observer.)
As the colleges shut down their
extra-curricular programs, the high
schools will realize no more ath-
letic scholarships are available and
these programs will also end. High
school coaches do not have to be
teachers and therefore their sala-
ries are often off the schedule. The
extra-curricular high school ac-
By Senator Matt Schmit
With the start of another school
year upon us, its a great time to
catch up with our students: every-
thing from summer growth spurts
and stories of family fun to new
teachers and classmates its all
part of the back to school sea-
son.
As we note student academic
progress, its also an important time
to look at where our state is head-
ing in terms of education policy
and performance.
Beginning this school year,
Minnesota will provide each of its
school districts with the operational
funding necessary to offer all-day
kindergarten. With a growing body
of research suggesting the early
years are the most important to a
students development, all-day K
and similar efforts to improve early
childhood education are truly an
School is back in session,
and Minnesota is back on track
investment in our future.
Following a decade in which
we saw K-12 funding stagnate, a
balanced budget and rebounding
state economy have allowed Min-
nesota to increase per pupil for-
mula funding 1.5 percent two years
in a row now. This signals a re-
newed commitment to more ap-
propriate levels of state education
funding that at least keep up with
inflation.
At the same time, our current
state budget fully repaid a long-
standing shift in education fund-
ing that forced many school dis-
tricts to take short-term loans to
pay their bills. Although not all
schools have recovered from a
decade of state funding neglect,
Minnesota has restored a course
of predictability that should fa-
cilitate local budgeting in the years
Some do it outside, or while
watching television, with a dog,
with friends, on teams, or in soli-
tude. Despite these differences,
runners share a sport with a sup-
portive fan base unmatched.
I first witnessed this while run-
ning Grandmas Marathon during
college. Fans would encourage
runners with comments of, Keep
it up . . . you can do it . . . way to
go! Most runners pace, push, and
encourage each other.
A marathons is not a race for
first, except for the elite runners.
Its part athletic event and part
social gathering celebrating the
dedication, sacrifice, fitness, and
hard work of family, neighbors,
and friends. The runners compete
more against themselves than each
other.
Cross country also has high
achieving, driven athletes, but it
accepts a number of kids who just
want to stay in shape or be a part
of something socially. This is the
environment that surrounds cross
country and the lifetime sport.
I attended a cross country meet
in which a number of ZMKW girls
and boys cheered enthusiastically
for every runner from Pine Island
and Goodhue. The local angle
struck me, in part, because these
kids all represented the towns our
newspaper covers. These schools
are typically rivals, but cross coun-
try revealed their commonality and
shared experiences.
Running is a recreational sport
in which excellence is applauded
and everyones a winner who
crosses the finish line. It reminds
me of the new cooperative games
that require a family to beat the
game instead of each other.

tivities will eventually not include
sports.
Coaches often comment as a
defense of dropping sports, that
the activity teaches the students
about team building, teamwork,
etc. Ask this question. If team
work is in such great need, why
isnt it taught as a regular class? If
you have a high school of 1000
students and 10% (100 students)
are on teams, why arent more stu-
dents being taught teaming and
working in teams?
Big money created college level
and high school sports. Bigger
money will destroy them. It costs
too much to have the sports; it
costs too much to house them; and
it costs too much to attend. One
school built a new football sta-
dium with the alumni in mind. They
expected the students to live with
the extra cost. The alumni loved
the stadium. The students refused
to pay extra to get in, and the at-
tendance is low.
I havent addressed the injuries
at the high school and college lev-
els. For many students, an injury
will wash them out of the sport.
The dream is dead and so is the
hope of a great college and pro-
fessional career. Think about it
and discuss. Until next week.
ahead.
For many of our college bound
students, a stronger state commit-
ment to the University of Minne-
sota and Minnesota State Colleges
and Universities (MnSCU) sys-
tem has resulted in a two-year tu-
ition freeze. A college education
isnt cheap, but for many careers
its as important as ever. No stu-
dent or family should be turned
away from a college or career
choice simply due to the sticker
shock of tuition.
Speaking of college, Minnesota
once again is a leader in entrance
exam scores, placing first among
30 states in which the ACT is taken
by a majority of college bound
students. Roughly three-quarters
of Minnesotas 2013-2014 senior
class took the exam. In an effort to
promote college readiness and
remove barriers to entry, all Min-
nesota high school graduates will
take the exam beginning this school
year.
Of course, college readiness
shouldnt be our only focus. More
and more jobs in areas such as
skilled manufacturing dont require
a college education. Strengthen-
ing linkages among employers,
community and technical colleges,
and our high schools is an impor-
tant undertaking thats already
underway in Minnesota. We need
to continue this effort toward ca-
reer readiness.
As we try to get it right in
education, we need to keep push-
ing for an appropriate degree of
accountability while giving our
students and teachers room to grow
and innovate. We should strive
for common sense standards for
students and teachers alike, the
right balance of state uniformity
and local control, and smart in-
vestments in early education while
getting the most out of high school
years, and meaningful attention
to college and career readiness.
After some time off, school is
back in session and Minnesota
is back on track.

Mayo Clinic Health System
family medicine physician
Elizabeth Cozine, M.D. will join the team of Family Medicine providers
at Mayo Clinic Health System in Zumbrota on Monday, September 22,
2014.
By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA Elizabeth
Cozine, M.D. is joining the medi-
cal staff as a family medicine pro-
vider at Mayo Clinic Health Sys-
tem in Zumbrota. Her official start
date is September 22.
After growing up in Zumbrota
and graduating from Zumbrota-
Mazeppa High School, Dr. Cozine
received her undergraduate degree
from the University of Minnesota.
She obtained her medical doctor
degree from the Mayo Medical
School and recently completed
residency through Mayo Clinic in
Rochester.
Much of Cozines hospital resi-
dency experience was at Mayo
Clinic Hospital, Saint Marys Cam-
pus. The focus of her outpatient
residency was done at Mayo Fam-
ily Clinic Kasson.
As a family medicine physician
in Zumbrota, she will offer a full
range of medical care to patients
of all ages. She has special inter-
est in prenatal and postnatal care,
gynecological and dermatologic
procedures, and joint injections.
In joining other medical provid-
ers in the town in which she grew
up, Cozine said, Im looking for-
ward to taking care of the people I
already know and getting to know
more. When asked what led her
to choose family medicine, she re-
sponded that it was the variety:
You never know what will be
behind the door when you see pa-
tients ranging from newborns to
geriatrics. She also mentioned the
convenience for patients of hav-
ing a physician who sees the en-
tire family, and the importance of
being able to receive healthcare in
the community where they live.
Having received training through
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Cozine
is very familiar with the referral
process to other locations such as
Red Wing or Rochester, if neces-
sary, for specific patients.
Cozine and her husband, Dan,
live in Rochester. They have two
children: Julia and William. Both
children have birthdays in the next
few months, with Julia turning four
and Will turning two years old.
Cozines parents, Dr. John and Deb

PINE ISLAND The Second
Annual Hope Smashes Crohns
and Colitis Bike Ride and Vic-
tory Celebration was held on Sat-
urday, September 6. This years
fundraiser event raised $6,100
which goes to benefit the Crohns
and Colitis Foundation of America
(CCFA). The event began with a
bike ride starting at the Douglas
Trail City Park, followed by a
celebration at Pine Island Sports
Bar that included a silent auction
and raffle. Hope Smashes Crohns
and Colitis organizers Mike Stark
from Roseville, Jean Hanzlicek
from Owatonna, and Suzy Piepgras
from Roseville were very pleased
with the successful event which
raised $500 more than last year.
CCFA is an organization com-
mitted to finding a cure for Crohns
disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
Crohns and colitis are painful
digestive disorders that have many
symptoms, including diarrhea,
vomiting, cramping, bloating,
weight loss, and fatigue. The
CCFA raises critical dollars for
breakthrough research, patient
education and support services.
Stark, who is an advocate for the
organization, has struggled with
Crohns for the last 14 years. Cur-
rently there is no know cause or
cure for Crohns and colitis which
affect 1.4 million Americans, or

Hope Smashes Crohns and Colitis
event raises $6,100 for CCFA
about one in 200. The group de-
cided to continue holding their
event in Pine Island because of its
central location and willingness
to accommodate. Stark said, The
support from the Pine Island Sports
Bar was great again this year, and
the food catered by Borgy Boyz
and the Borrow-A-Bike program
really helped add to the success of
the event.

PINE ISLAND Pine Island
Public School welcomes Goodhue
County Officer Jeff Sjoblom as
the new School Resource Officer.
Sjoblom replaces Deputy Josh
Stehr who left to pursue a differ-
ent position within the department.
Stehr served as the Pine Island
School Resource Officer for the
past five years.
Sjoblom grew up outside of
Cannon Falls. He graduated from
Cannon Falls High School in 1997.
Sjoblom attended two different
colleges exploring a handful of
career fields. In 2002, he came to
realize law enforcement was the
career field he wanted to be in.
Sjoblom enrolled at Rochester
Community and Technical Col-
lege (RCTC) and graduated in
2005. Shortly after was hired as a
licensed reserve deputy with the
Olmsted County Sheriffs Office.
In 2007, Sjoblom was hired by
the Goodhue County Sheriffs
Office where he worked for the
last seven years on road patrol. In
March of 2014, Sjoblom said he
had the privilege to apply for the
Pine Island School Resource Of-
ficer (SRO) position. Prior to this,
Sjoblom had spoken to former PI
SRO Sergeant Jason Johnson and
the then current PI SRO Deputy
Josh Stehr about the position.
Sjoblom said they both felt he
would do well in the SRO posi-
tion. Besides PI SRO, Sjoblom
also holds other positions in the
sheriffs office that include Emer-
gency Response Team (a.k.a.,
SWAT), field training officer, and
child passenger safety technician.
Sjoblom is an advocate for seat
belts and is the coordinator for the
Towards Zero Death grant. Thanks
to a grant through the Department
of Public Safety, Sjoblom is able

need. He would like to do child
safety inspection classes and pre-
sentation at the school in the near
future.
Sjoblom, who lives in
Wanamingo with his wife Katie
and their two children six-yea- old
Noah and four-year-old Ruby, has
been getting acquainted with the

can bring many life experiences,
law enforcement experiences, and
continued professionalism to the
school. Sjoblom said, When I was

Pine Island Toastmasters
Ice Cream Social held
A Toastmasters meeting is a
learn-by-doing workshop in which
participants hone their speaking
and leadership skills in a no-
pressure atmosphere. There is no
instructor in a Toastmasters
meeting. Instead, members
evaluate one anothers
presentations. This feedback
process is a key part of the
programs success. Meeting par-
ticipants also give impromptu talks
on assigned topics, conduct meet-
ings and develop skills related to
timekeeping, grammar and listen-
ing.
Pine Island Toastmasters meet
at 6:30 a.m. on Friday at St. Pauls
Lutheran Church in Pine Island.
Guests are always welcome!
Gathering around the ice cream and toppings are, from the left: Jean and Horst Truested, Rosemary Evers,
Bill Sanborn, and Sheri French.

Auditions
for Harvey
to be held
PINE ISLAND Auditions for
Pine Area People for the Arts
(PAPA) production of the award-
winning comedy Harvey will
be held September 29 & 30 from
7:00-9:00 p.m. at Saint Paul
The show calls for six women and
six men. Under the direction of
Marty Nunemaker, rehearsals will
begin October 6, with perfor-
mances November 14, 15, 16 and
21, 22, 23.
Harvey is the story of Elwood
P. Dowd who makes friends with
a spirit taking the form of a hu-
man-sized rabbit named Harvey
that only he can see (along with a
few privileged others on occasion.)
His sister tries to commit him to a
mental institution, and a comedy
of errors ensues. Elwood and
Harvey become the catalysts for a
family mending its wounds and
for romance blossoming in unex-
pected places.

questions at 507-226-6401.

we have great community sup-
port. Now that Sween has more
free time, he plans to get some
things done at home that he has

ations. On average, the PI Shar-
ing Shelves dispense about 10,000
pounds of food per month to area
residents. Since the Sharing
Shelves first opened in 1983, com-
munity support has been the key
to the success of the food bank.

Sarah McQuaids Music as
Eclectic as her Background
Sarah McQuaid
ZUMBROTA Rising star Sa-
rah McQuaids voice has been lik-
ened to malt whiskey, melted
chocolate and honey in wine. A
captivating performer, she seduces
her audience. Be seduced at her
concert Sat., Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m.
at Crossings.
Before the concert, McQuaid
will give a workshop on DADGAD
tuning for guitar.
McQuaids performances fea-
ture her cheeky banter and stories
from the road, as well as her stun-
ning musicianship; in her hands,
the guitar becomes much more than
merely an accompanying instru-
ment.
Her musical output reflects her
own eclectic background:
McQuaid was born in Spain, raised
in Chicago, holds dual US and
Irish citizenship, and now lives in
rural England. Refusing to be pi-
geonholed, she spans the genres
with both her beautifully crafted
originals and her interpretations
of material from around the globe
and down the centuries.
McQuaids third solo album,
The Plum Tree and the Rose,
has drawn critical acclaim on both
sides of the Atlantic: Impeccable,
wrote fRoots (UK), while Mid-
west Record (USA) called it low
key but glorious and incendiary
and Hot Press (Ireland) said it
should feature on many end-of-
year best-ofs.
Tickets available at the door or
anytime at Crossing at 320 East
Avenue, Zumbrota.
Minnesota apple orchards Minnesota apple orchards Minnesota apple orchards Minnesota apple orchards Minnesota apple orchards
open for picking open for picking open for picking open for picking open for picking
ST. PAUL Minnesota apple
growers are reporting orchards full
of big, high quality apples for fall
family fun. Orchards are open
across the state for picking with
many ripe varieties on the trees.
Charlie Johnson, President of
the Minnesota Apple Growers As-
sociation, said the 2014 crop will
be good for growers and consum-
ers, despite the especially harsh
winter, Many varieties will be as
big, or bigger than last year. The
harsh winter weather has affected
some varieties, in some orchards,
but most producers have come
through the winter with an excel-
lent crop!
Minnesota is known for flavor-
ful apple varieties specifically bred
to thrive in our climate. This in-
cludes University of Minnesota
cultivars such as the Zestar!,
Honeycrisp, SweeTango, Haralson
and Sweet Sixteen.
Most growers report varieties
are ripening slightly later than typi-
cal, due to the late spring. Be-
cause there are so many delicious
apple varieties to choose from, and
seasonality depends on weather,
please call your orchard to deter-
mine what is ripe and ready for
picking.
Minnesota Grown Spokesman,
Paul Hugunin, said a trip to an
apple orchard is a fun activity for
families, Apple orchards provide
many ways to engage families and
children of all ages. Its a wonder-
ful way to introduce kids to how
delicious fresh picked produce can
taste! Many orchards also offer
fresh apple cider, pumpkins, fall
raspberries and fun fall activities
like hay rides, crop mazes and
petting zoos.
The Minnesota Department of
Agricultures Minnesota Grown
Directory is a free statewide guide
to more than 100 apple orchards.
The directory also includes a com-
prehensive list of fall raspberry
patches, corn mazes, wineries and
more. You can search the direc-
tory online at

September 6 and the pool contractor is on site and ready to begin work the week of September 15. The intent
of the pool board and city council is to have the new pool open and operational by July 15, 2015, however the
new pool could open as soon as June 2015. Renovations will take place on the bathhouse during this time as
well and is currently out on public bid due on October 2, 2014. F ollow progress on Facebook at Goodhue

GOODHUE Marcia (Diercks)
Matthees graduated from St. Johns
Lutheran School, rural Goodhue,
in 1957. After high school, she
attended Bethany College in
Mankato, from 1961-63 and
received an AA in elementary
education. She received a call
to teach second grade in Jefferson,
Wisconsin. After two years, she
received another call and on
September 11, 1965, Marcia
became Mrs. Raymond Matthees.
Marcia and Ray had four children
Debra, Dawn, Jon and Joy. After
their first child was born, Marcia
oversaw remedial reading and
assisted teachers who needed help.
In 1975, Pastor Arthur Frenz
asked Matthees if she would be
willing to teach as a volunteer in a
preschool which St. Johns was
planning to open. She agreed and
began teaching one day every other
week for two hours. As time

marched on the preschool changed
to one day per week, then two
days. Currently, preschool is con-
ducted three days per week for
two hours a day.
Mrs. Matthees, as the children
fondly call her, has had the privi-
lege of teaching Gods word to
310 students these past 40 years.
Her youngest daughter, Joy Miller,
was one of the students in her first
class; since then, she has went on
to teach the second generation of
many of those first students.
Matthees loves to reminisce with
former students and parents alike.
As a parent, if you ask her if your
son/daughter is behaving in class,
her standard reply is They are all
good. One of the highlights for
the children is visiting her farm
home and seeing her pets, making
ice cream and riding in her Gator.
Another highlight is the Ginger-
bread Man Party. She bakes small
gingerbread men which the chil-
dren eat for snack time. While
they are eating, the large ginger-
bread man is baking. After snack
time, the children must find the
large gingerbread man because he
is missing from the oven. Their
journey takes them to the kinder-
garten room where they find the
gingerbread man and where they
will attend school in the fall.
Amy Gosch will replace
Matthees who is confident the pro-
gram will flourish under her di-
rection.
Sunday, September 21 has been
set aside to honor Matthees at the
10:30 church service (St. Johns,
County 4). Following the service,
a potluck lunch will be hosted at
the Lions Building in Goodhue.
Everyone is welcome.
including drums and recorders, and
also play music games. By study-
ing music, we are also improving
our creativity, communication,
cooperation, social skills, self-
expression and building self-con-
fidence. In addition to all these
things, they will spend time pre-
paring for school concerts and other
events that may present themselves
in the surrounding area. She said
to be sure to check the performance
dates and save the dates on your
calendar.
Flinner says she will be a great
teacher because she will never stop
learning. In an effort to keep stu-
dents involved, she keeps the les-
sons moving. The rows in her class-
room are all labeled as musical
instruments; this allows her to
address a section as the drums or
the clarinets. It will also help keep
students on task.
She met her husband Alex while
playing together in band and or-
chestra at UMD. They were mar-
ried on June 29, 2013, and have
found an apartment in northwest
Rochester. Outside of school
Flinners interests include com-
munity band, theater, knitting,
sewing, horseback riding,
rollerblading, and bicycling.
Merribeth Schrimpf
Schrimpf grew up on a dairy
farm just north of Goodhue with
her parents, sister, and four
brothers. She graduated from
Goodhue High School in 2009. She
went to the University of Wiscon-
sin Eau Claire where she re-
ceived a degree in education and
is now ready to give back to the
area that supported her so well.
This past spring, Schrimpf
worked as a long-term substitute
teacher in Mirong, Wisconsin. The
job in Goodhue is her opportunity
to show students that she would
love to help them with all of the
possibilities in art. She said she
believes her students can become
artists, and she will guide them on
this tour. She said that she is a
good listener and is very
approachable. She loves to have
people drop by to see her. She will
keep her classes interesting be-
cause of the hands-on activities
and she will keep the content rel-
evant to the ages of the students.
Schrimpf said that an interest in
athletics as well as arts will show
her students that she cares for
them. She will go the extra dis-
tance to see that they succeed. She
is living on her parents dairy farm,
so it is easy to keep active. She
also enjoys camping and hiking,
but when she wants to relax, she
will paint or read a book.

Samantha Woods is a new
ZM third grade teacher
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA Samantha
Sam Woods has been hired at
Zumbrota-Mazeppa Elementary
School as a third grade teacher.
She graduated from University of
Minnesota Morris this past spring,
so this is her first year of teaching.
Woods grew up in Apple Val-
ley and currently lives in Roches-
ter. She attributes graduating col-
lege in four years and starting her
career right after graduation as her
greatest accomplishment in life,
thus far. If she only teaches her
new students one thing this year
she said, I want to teach my stu-
dents that life is a beautiful thing.
It may seem tough at times, but in
the end everything works out for
the greater good, so they should
be happy and live their lives to the
fullest.
She hopes that she can bring
some knowledge of technology to
the school. The school district is
becoming more and more tech
savvy, and I hope to help with
that, Woods said. She loves to
be able to make connections with
her students. Woods said that as
the connections begin to grow it
helps her to teach her students how
to be citizens of the world. I love
seeing them grow and mature as I
work with them, she said.
Woods has a passion for brown-
ies and sports. She loves staying
active. She has played various
sports throughout her life and still
likes to stay active and busy when-
ever she can. She enjoys trying
new things so that she can always
have something to do. Woods said
she is very excited about the sports
at ZM this year and cannot wait to
watch the students grow as ath-
letes.
Sam Woods is a new third grade
teacher at ZM School.

Zumbrota maintaining
its expanding trail system
By David A. Grimsrud
ZUMBROTA Concerned
about the deterioirating condition
of the trestle bridge that serves
the Zumbrota trail system,
Minnowa Construction has
declared the trestle fit but pointed
out that repairs are needed. They
will be done.
The city trails paved and scenic
walking trail follows alongside
Jefferson Drive on the citys west
side and goes northward into the
Covered Bridge Park, over an old
railroad trestle, through beautiful
hardwoods and over the Zumbro
River by way of the Covered
Bridge. (See map).
The north end of the city trail is
the southern entrance to the
Goodhue Pioneer State Trail which
is used for snowmobiling, biking
and hiking.
When complete, the Goodhue
Pioneer State Trail will connect
the cities of Red Wing, Goodhue,
Zumbrota, Mazeppa, Bellechester,
and Pine Island for a distance of
47 miles.
It will be a part of a trail system
that connects two very popular and
well-used trails, the Cannon Valley
Regional Trail in Red Wing, and
the Douglas State Trail in Pine
Island.
Currently, the completed paved
Goodhue Pioneer State Trail goes
five miles north of Zumbrotas
Covered Bridge Park and from Hay
Creek to Red Wing.
Near the Zumbrota Covered
Bridge and Hwy. 58 (Main Street),
a visitor center/trailhead is pro-
posed.

THINGS TO DO
in Zumbrota,

system, can be found at

CORRECTION
In last weeks Zumbrota City
Council article, it incorrectly stated
that repairs were needed to the
covered bridge. The concerns were
with this trestle bridge.
This old railroad trestle bridge serves Zumbrotas expanding trail system
and will be maintained.

Carol Kittelson 1941-2014
LAKE CITY Carol J. Kittelson,
73, of Lake City, passed on to walk
with our Lord Monday, Septem-
ber 7, 2014 at St. Marys Hospital
in Rochester surrounded by fam-
ily, friends, prayer and songs.
Carol Jane Fleck was born on
March 27, 1941, in Wakefield,
Kansas, the daughter of Theodore
and Hazel (McClosky) Fleck. She
married Rodney Clarence Kittelson
on July 9, 1960, in Goodhue, and
they lived in the Goodhue area.
Rodney passed away on May 27,
1996. She was a member of St.
Marys Church in Bellechester.
Carol was an activity coordinator
at the Lake City Nursing Home.
Carol moved from the farm to
Lake City in 2010. She assisted in
church services at the nursing
home. She led the rosary and played
the organ. She loved spending time
with her family and friends. She
was president of the Resident
Counsel at the Nursing Home
where her focus was to enrich the
lives of the residents.
Carol will always be remem-
bered as a loving and caring per-
son who always went out of her
way to help others. She was kind,
gentle, always family-oriented, and
was a woman of great faith. She
also had a crafty sense of humor
that could bring a good laugh when
it was needed.
Carol loved to display her an-
tiques and share the many stories
that accompanied them. In par-
ticular, she treasured her collec-
tion of chickens that she gathered
from many places in Minnesota
and elsewhere. Carol also wrote
Carols Ramblings that appeared
in the Lake City newspaper for
more than ten years. In her witty
MAZEPPA The Mazeppa
City Council took several steps
at their September 10 meeting in
preparation for 2015. The pro-
posed budget and levy for next
year was reviewed once again by
the council. The proposed levy
would increase $1,189 from the
2014 amount, equal to half a per-
cent. City Administrator Duane
Hofschulte said that with all the
citys equipment paid off, he rec-
ommended funds be set aside for
a new snowplow to be purchased
next year. A motion by Scott
Parker to accept the proposed
budget carried 5-0.
With Hofschultes pending re-
tirement looming, a meeting was
set for September 18 for the as-
sembled committee to explore the
future of the city administrator
position. The committee will have
to determine if the position will
be part-time or full-time, hours
and/or days, responsibilities and
pay; before advertising for the
position and interviewing candi-
dates.
Planning & Zoning recommends
additional summer employee
Joe Sand with Mazeppa Plan-
ning & Zoning said the board dis-
cussed the amount of mowing
required of the city maintenance
staff person, just to maintain the
park grounds around the city. Sand
recommended another person be
hired next summer to just handle
the mowing duties. Sand said P&Z
was willing to take $1,500 from
their budget to help fund the ad-
ditional position, if the city could
come up with the other $1,500.
Parker asked if the city had the
funds to cover the entire $3,000.
Hofschulte indicated that was
possible. A motion by Parker, sec-
onded by Tom Marsh, for the city
to set aside $3,000 to hire a new
employee to mow parks in 2015
carried 4-1; with mayor Bob
Beniak opposed.
Sand told the board that the
new designer banners and lights
are up. The group plans to spend
another $750-$1,000 for generic
banners to be up on the street
light poles during the winter
months. Other projects they hope
to tackle this year include replac-
ing the concrete slab at the shel-
ter by the ball field and bathroom
work at the Walking Bridge Park.
Sand said Planning & Zoning
is seeking members to serve on
the board. Interested candidates
should contact the city or Sand
for more information.

Policing report
Wabasha County Deputy Joe
Modjeski presented the policing
report for the month. During Au-
gust deputies attended to four civil
matters, two noise complaints, two
reports of suspicious activity, a
damage to property, a domestic
incident, a driving complaint, an
identity theft report, picking up a
subject wanted on an arrest war-
rant, an assisting a resident on one
occasion.
Public Works report
Public Works Director Larry
Zielsdorf said he has begun haul-
ing sludge from the waste water
treatment plant; this is done annu-
ally. The trickling filter at the plant
was repaired and is now working
well. Sealcoating of the roadways
was completed. Debris will be
swept up in a couple of weeks.
The council approved the snow
removal agreement with Wabasha
County. The county agrees to pay
Mazeppa $2,178.68 to remove
snow within city limits on county
roadways. With this agreement the
city will receive $296 more than
they did in the previous years
contract.
Off-sale liquor permit request denied
In August Jason Ferguson, owner
of WDs Bar and Grill, requested
an off-sale liquor license. Currently
the city ordinance does not allow
the same person/business to hold
both permits at the same time but
the council agreed to consider the
request. On September 10,
Hofschulte said advised the council
that if they give it to one bar, they
have to offer it to the others. This
could cut into the business of the
municipal liquor store and
Hofschulte said that would be
cutting the citys throat. Profits
from the municipal liquor store
help the city pay for expenses. A
loss in muni profits would increase
taxes for taxpayers. Mayor Bob
Beniak said he would be against
issuing an off-sale permit to
Ferguson at this time. A motion
by Mike Hammes to deny
Fergusons request for an off-sale
liquor permit carried 5-0. Ferguson
Marian C. King, age 93, of Pine
Island, died on Saturday, Septem-
ber, 13, 2014, at Pine Haven Care
Center.
Marian Cowden was born on
February 26, 1921, in Milton Town-
ship, Dodge County, to Edward
and Cora (nee Kuntz) Cowden.
She attended school in Oronoco
through the eighth grade. Marian
was a caretaker for local families
and was a waitress at the Bus De-
pot in Pine Island. On March 14,
1939, she was united in marriage
to Ernest H. King in Cresco, Iowa.
Ernest worked for local farmers
around the Zumbrota and Pine Is-
land area. In 1950, they purchased
their own farm in rural Pine Island
where they raised their family. On
November 4, 1998, Ernest passed
away. Marian sold the farm and
moved to Zumbrota that same year.
In 2009, she moved to Pine Haven
Care Center where she currently
lived. Marian was an active mem-
ber of Saint Paul Lutheran Church
where she participated in Bible
study and circle.
Marian is survived by her daugh-
ters, Karen (Gary) Weber of Roch-
ester, and Ruth (Lynn) Anderson
of Grygla; grandchildren, Melissa
(Carson) Saurdiff, Anna (fianc
Jeremy Olson) Anderson; Robbie
Marian King 1921-2014
was in attendance and said he un-
derstood their reasons.
Other business
The council reviewed photos of
several properties that are in vio-
lation of the city ordinance due to
neglect, junk or hazards. Council
members will be going through
neighborhoods inspecting prop-
erties and those in violation of the
city ordinance will receive a no-
tice. If after receiving notification
of the issue the problem(s) still
are not resolved charges could be
filed.
City Clerk Linda Friedrich said
two neighbors were having issues
regarding a fence between their
properties. The fence has been up
for many years. City Attorney Steve
Erwin said it would be hard for
the city to take action, if six years
have already passed. Erwin said
the complainants should settle the
matter in small claims court, if
need be, to address the problem.
Building permits were approved
for Sharlene Gahnz for a hot wa-
ter heater and re-roofing; Pam Clink
for re-siding; and Mike Richardson
for re-roofing.
Councilman Mikes Hammes
said he was very pleased and happy
with the new Mazeppa Veterans
Memorial. He offered his thanks
to the Mazeppa American Legion
and veterans for their work on the
project.
The next regular council meet-
ing is scheduled for Wednesday,
October 8 at 6 p.m. in council cham-
bers.

Wanamingo
Training for young Knights
of Honor at KW School
Kenyon-Wanamingo teachers, from left to right, Tanya Rasmussen, John Medcraft, Tony Donkers, and Shelly
Froehling, work with a group of KW Elementary School students on hallway expectations during the Knights
in Training Day. Students visited different areas of the school where staff members discussed expectations
of respect and responsibility with students.
WANAMINGO On Septem-
ber 5, students at Kenyon-
Wanamingo Elementary School
participated in PBIS Knights in
Training Day. Students spent ten
minutes on each topic reviewing
rules and expectations involving
the school bus, playground, hall-
ways, lunch room, art, music, media
center, intervention area, phy ed,
bathrooms, and the elementary
office/nurses room.
KWES became a Positive Be-
havioral Interventions and Sup-
ports (PBIS) school last year. For
this PBIS process, a committee of
teachers and K-6 principal Matt
Ryan have attended seven days of
training in the past thirteen months.
Ryan said, One of the first tasks
the committee had was to create a
Behavior Purpose Statement. That
statement, which is, Kenyon-
Wanamingo Knights treat each
other with Respect, take Respon-
sibility for their learning, and strive
for a Safe and positive school for
all is a part of everyday school
life. The Knights in Training Day
was designed to lay the ground-
work for the school year from a
positive behavior standpoint by
teaching students the right way to
handle themselves in different ar-
eas of the building.
The three big rules Be Re-
spectful, Be Responsible, and Be
Safe were the focus of each teach-
ing area on September 5. Ryan
said the expectations for each im-
portant area will be reviewed
throughout the year, but said this
training day was a fun way to be-
gin the process and set a positive
tone for the year with students and
staff.
After the training, students gath-
ered in the gym for a welcome
back to school assembly. As a re-
ward for completion of the train-
ing, students received a red KWES
t-shirt with the PBIS logo. Ryan
said, We are looking forward to
a great year and seeing those
Knights of Honor shirts in the
building as a sign of the positive
climate at KW Elementary
School!

WANAMINGO At the Sep-
tember 8 meeting, the Wanamingo
Economic Development Author-
ity board was presented with an
amended purchase agreement with
Parrot Head Development LLC,
the parent company of Concast.
City Administrator and EDA Ex-
ecutive Director Michael Boulton
said that, unlike previous agree-
ments the board approved, this
version is a direct purchase agree-
ment for the land Concast is inter-
ested in for expansion. Parrot Head
has agreed to pay $46,600 for the
4.66 acres of land south of their
current building and property in
the Industrial Park.
The company will not make
payment on the sale until Spring
2015, when the Cenex Addition 4
project is completed. When the
commercial development project
is completed the total cost will be
divided between the lots, and
Concast will pay a portion of the
land preparation and infrastruc-
ture costs.
The agreement also gives au-
thority for Concast and its con-
tractors to enter upon the property
to begin their portion of the con-
struction process. With the agree-
ment finalized, Concast is expected
to begin dirt work on their expan-
sion project in October.
When the Concast expansion is
completed it will generate more
tax revenue for the city, improv-
ing Wanamingos financial out-
Wanamingo EDA finalizes agreement
with Concast for land acquisition
look. Of the business growth
Boulton said, Its great for the
citizens and overall tax base.
EDA board members Jim
Kittelson, Josh Sandberg, Ryan
Holmes, Brian Gudknecht, Danny
Benson, Brian Johnson and Josh
Schaefer approved the amended
purchase agreement with Parrot
Head Development.
In regard to the overall Cenex
Addition 4 project, Boulton said
the dirt work is moving along very
well. Of the estimated $625,000
dirt work project, Boulton said
Schumacher Excavating indicated
they have about $190,000 in work
already completed.
WANAMINGO At the Sep-
tember 8 Wanamingo City Coun-
cil meeting, mayor Ryan Holmes
and council members Larry
VanDeWalker, Jamie Majerus,
Jennifer Berquam, and Danny
Benson tended to a long list of
resolutions related to construction
and improvement projects in
Wanamingo.
Concast expansion and Cenex
Addition 4 development
The council approved a right of
entry agreement with Parrot Head
Development, LLC, the parent
company of Concast. The agree-
ment gives the contractors hired
by the city rights to enter onto the
land Concast has agreed to pur-
chase; to begin grading, sanitary
sewer, water main and storm sewer,
curb and gutter and street work for
the Cenex Addition 4 development
project.
The council approved the issu-
ance of general obligation improve-
ments bonds to finance the 2014
roadway and utility project. The
city qualified for a state Depart-
ment of Employment and Economic
Development (DEED) grant and
were awarded $250,000 to help
finance a portion of the infrastruc-
ture work for the project. For this,
the city needs to provide proof of
additional funding. The city will
look to issue $540,000 with the
help of Northland Securities, Inc,
the citys financial bond partner.
Boulton anticipated the sale of
bonds would take place October
6, and the council will be presented
with proposals at the October 13
meeting.
Wanamingo council tends to
construction project details
Maple Island swaps land with the
city
Maple Island and the city agreed
to exchange some land as a way to
resolve an issue that was discov-
ered. The wastewater treatment
plant has a fenced-in area that sits
on the field land that was just pur-
chased by Maple Island for their
expansion project. The land is
equivalent to 8,507 square feet.
Rather than move fencing or ar-
range for re-purchasing the land,
Maple Island was agreeable to
exchanging for an equivalent par-
cel in the vicinity owned by the
city.
Administrator Michael Boulton
said Maple Island agree to cover
all fees related to preparing the
land swap and said the agreement
is beneficial to all involved. The
council approved the land swap
with Maple Island, Inc.
Residential rehabilitation
improvement project
Springcroft Apartments and 11
owner occupied homes in the vi-
cinity were approved for property
refurbishment grant funding
through a MN DEED grant. Fund-
ing for this project was secured by
the city under Title I of the Hous-
ing and Community Development
Act through DEED and the Small
Cities Development Program
(SCDP). The MN DEED grant
projects are being facilitated by
the Southeastern Minnesota Multi-
County Housing and Redevelop-
ment Authority (SEMMCHRA),
and the council recognized this
authority by passing a resolution.
SEMMCHRA will oversee the
release of funds for the city in
these projects.
In preparation for these refur-
bishment projects, several grant
required policies were reviewed
and approved by the council, These
included resolutions on exces-
sive force/civil rights, residential
anti-displacement and relocation
assistance plan, drug free work-
place; fair housing; HUD 2880;
grant contract; program income;
section 3 plan, standards, policies
and procedures.
Funds may still be available to
other single family and rental prop-
erties to receive rehabilitation as-
sistance if they meet eligibility and
income guidelines. For more in-
formation contact Karen
DeCharme or Buffy Beranek with
SEMMCHRA. The last date for
rehab applications to be received
was listed as May 30, 2016. The
program completion date was es-
timated for December 2016.
Other business
Barney Nesseth, owner of JBs
Tavern is planning a special event
and would like to have a live band
on the outdoor deck. The council
discussed parameters for a large
outdoor event of this size and con-
cerns that may arise with residen-
tial neighbors regarding such an
event. Boulton suggested precau-
tionary measure be taken by the
city. The council was in agree-
ment with this. A motion was made
by VanDeWalker to require the
event to have one security per-
sonnel per fifty attendees; for out-
door music to end by midnight;
and for letters of notifications of
the event be sent to neighbors 500
feet in radius from the bar. The
motion carried 5-0.
WANAMINGO After several
years of service to the City of
Wanamingo, Public Works Di-
rector Steve Haggstrom submit-
ted his resignation on September
3. At the September 8 regular
meeting, the council offered their
thanks to Haggstrom for his work
and dedicated effort over the years.
Haggstroms last day will be Oc-
tober 4. The council accepted his
resignation.
Upon hearing of Haggstroms
intention to resign, the personnel
committee and City Administra-
tor Michael Boulton decided to
advertise for a public works main-
tenance worker, as opposed to a
director. Posting for the position
ended September 8. The council
reviewed applications received
prior to the meeting. The council
will conduct a special meeting on
September 22 to meet with candi-
dates.
Public Works report
City maintenance worker Monty
Schaefer said he and Haggstrom
pushed the brush pile and mowed
at the wastewater treatment plant.
A water leak was found, and after
it was repaired another occurred
Wanamingo seeks a new public
works maintenance worker
further up the line. The pool win-
terization is nearly completed.
Boards at the hockey rink were
also worked on.
The fourth quarter maintenance
work plan was reviewed and ap-
proved by the council.
Water tower and well house work
completed
K&W Coatings, LLC submit-
ted a final pay request. City Engi-
neer Brandon Theobald with
WHKS said that while the com-
pany was conducting work on the
water tower, it was found to have
a leak and loose rods. This re-
sulted in additional costs to the
project. However, Theobald said
some cost savings were seen in
spraying on the paint as opposed
to rolling it on. With all consid-
ered, it resulted in a reduction of
$12,133.50 in the total cost. With
the reduction applied, the final pay
request of $77,866.50 was sub-
mitted by K&W Coatings. The
council approved the pay request.
With this approved, Theobald said
the one year maintenance bond is
initiated on the guaranteed work.
Theobald said the company hired
to do the well house work will be
back to address peeling paint in
the well house. The city qualified
for a $7,500 rebate from Xcel
Energy for the upgraded energy
efficient equipment installed. This
will help offset the overall cost.
Delinquent charges to be certified
The council took action to cer-
tify 17 delinquent mowing charges
to the county auditor to be col-
lected with property taxes pay-
able in 2015. Charges ranged from
$50 to $90 for mowing
unmaintained properties, most of
them being foreclosed lots in the
golf course addition.
Booming construction quarter
Building permits were approved
for Brent Leininger, Anna Faye
Emerson, Brian Johnson, Jerry
Nappin, and Sandra Anderson for
re-roofing; a gas furnace for Karen
Schaffer; new siding for Merrill
Solberg; and a building addition
for Maple Island.
Boulton said that so far it has
been an excellent quarter for build-
ing projects in Wanamingo. From
July 1 to September 8, building
permits for nearly $3.28 million
in projects have been taken out;
and the quarter is not completed
yet.

ST. PAUL University of Min-
nesota Extension and the Farm
Service Agency of the U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture begin a
series of free dairy education semi-
nars this month to help farmers
make decisions brought about by
the 2014 Farm Bill.
Dairy producers have until No-
vember 28 to enroll in the Dairy
Margin Protection Program. Newly
created by the farm bill, the pro-
gram aims to reduce producers
exposure to catastrophic losses
through risk management. The
program is voluntary and pays
producers when the difference
between the national price of milk
and the average cost of feed falls
below a level selected by the pro-
ducers.
The farm bill creates a new
opportunity for dairy producers
to manage risk. These training
sessions will go through various
scenarios to help dairy producers
make the most appropriate deci-
sions for their operations, said
Kevin Klair, University of Min-
nesota Extension economist and
program leader at the universitys
Center for Farm Financial Man-
agement. This is a new program
in which we think most dairy pro-
ducers should at least enroll at the
minimum level and then thor-
oughly analyze the program and
higher coverage options for their
operation.
The seminars are offered at 18
locations through early Novem-
ber and will be led by Extension
educators and FSA staff; no reg-
istration is required. Details are
available here.

Extension arm of land-grant uni-
versities nationwide as the educa

KENYON - The Kenyon-Wana-
mingo volleyball team had another
great week of play, running their
record to 12-1 overall and 3-0 in
HVL play. The Knights topped
Lourdes and beat a very good
Cannon Falls squad on Thursday
evening in Kenyon. KW won three
of four games at the Wabasha-
Kellogg Invitational moving into
the championship bracket where
they suffered their first loss of the
season to Caledonia.
The Knights will host Lake City
on Tuesday.
Lourdes
The Knights got a three-game
sweep over Lourdes in Roches-
ter, Tuesday, 25-14, 25-22, 25-
16.
The girls had a slow start to
the first set, but finally came alive
and found their rhythm, said
Coach Jen Nerison. This type of
play carries us, as we usually have
a slow start and then they start to
figure things out. This is an area
we hope they start improving on.
The Knights dominated at the
front with 19 blocks and 40 kills.
Megan Flom had a great night
with four ace blocks and just two
hitting errors to end the night,
pointed out Coach Nerison.
Mara Quam had 12 kills and 15
digs to pace KW. Mia Peterson
had 16 set assists and Siri Quam
had 14.

Cannon Falls
Unbeaten in HVL play, Can-
non Falls and Kenyon-Wanamingo
squared off in Kenyon on Thurs-
day evening. The Knights prevailed
in four games.
It was a very emotional evening
as nearly $20,000 was raised for
Natalie Hildebrandt, a sophomore
from KW who has been battling
cancer. T-shirt sales, a dash-for-
cash between coaches and sisters
Missy Hueseth and Jen Nerison, a
silent auction for donated items
and a tug-of-war between the foot-
ball teams from Cannon Falls and
Kenyon-Wanamingo were held.
All of the profits from the conces-
sion stand also went to help de-
fray Hildebrandts medical bills.
This night was a bunch of feel-
ings all put together, but the one
feeling that sticks out the most is
pride in our surrounding commu-
nities such as Kenyon-Wanamingo,
Cannon Falls and Zumbrota-
Mazeppa (who also took part in
the fundraising with Cannon Falls
on Tuesday evening), said Coach
Nerison. This night was to honor
Team Nat. It was great to see all
the support from these communi-
ties.
Brittney Flom was 20 of 21 serv-
ing. It is nice to see the balance
of kills amongst the team. I think
our setters do a nice job of utiliz-
ing their hitters and moving the
ball around among their hitters,
pointed out Coach Nerison. Last
night was a great first home match
opener and all of the girls got some
playing time.
Megan Quam led KW with 11
kills, three blocks, two ace serves
and 11 digs. Mara Quam had 10
kills and 15 digs. Mia Peterson
had 22 set assists and Siri Quam
had 13.
The girls came out and played
hard. They played with heart and
strong minds tonight and it
showed, praised Coach Nerison.

Kenyon-Wanamingo won three
of the four matches they played in
the 12-team Wabasha-Kellogg
Veterans Appreciation tourna-

The Knights won all three of
their games in pool play, topping,
Fillmore Central (ranked fifth in
Class A) 25-15 and 22-25, Aus-

25-11, 25-22.
Playing in the championship
bracket, KW suffered their first
loss of the season to Caledonia,
25-27, 25-14, 12-15.
Caledonia is the best blocking
team we have faced so far this
season. I think it was good for the
girls as we know what we need to
improve on in our hitting and in
covering our hits, pointed out
Coach Nerison.

ZM rallies for a win
By Faye Haugen
ZUMBROTA - After taking their
lumps in the first two games of
the season, the Zumbrota-Mazeppa
football team turned things around
rallying to earn a 34-26 winover
visiting St. Charles on Friday.
The Cougars dominated the
Saints, rolling up 566 yards of of-
fense to the visitors 375 yards. It
didnt hurt ZM that the Saints ran
the same kind of offense they did.
Our scout team had an easy week,
quipped Coach Willie Rauen about
practice last week. For the first
time this season, we had everyone
where they were supposed to be
playing.
Touchdown passes were flying
in the opening quarter. ZM struck
first when Freedom Hunt hit Ja-
cob Forrey with a 65-yard pass.
St. Charles came right back, scor-
ing on a 15-yard pass from Derek
McCready to Ricardo Chavez.
McReady ran in the conversion
for an 8-6 lead. Hunt and Forrey
hooked up for a 90-yard passing
TD just before the end of the quarter
to give ZM back the lead, 12-8.
Hunt pushed ZMs lead to 18-8
with a 13-yard scoring run early
in the second quarter, but St.
Charles took a 20-18 lead into the
locker room when McCready threw
TD passed of 31 and 13 yards to
Nathan Boice.
ZM took the second half kick
off and marched it down the field
with Tucker Lemmerman rolling
in from the five. Lemmerman
added the conversion run for a 26-
20 lead.
A one-yard run by McCready
knotted the score at 26-26 when
the conversion run failed.
The Cougars had their chances,
moving inside the five twice in
the third quarter, and they drove
to the Saints 10-yard line late in
the fourth quarter before being
stopped.
St. Charles took over but were
called for holding in the end zone,
which resulted in ZM earning a
safety for a 28-26 lead with 3:34
to play. The Cougars took the en-
suing kick and added to their score
when Maverick Jackson rushed
in from the four-yard line with
1:33 to play.
Hunt was 9 of 17 passing for
248 yards and two touchdowns.
He also led ZM in rushing with
158 yards on 24 carries. Jacob
Forrey made a team-high four re-
ceptions for 185 yards. Tyler Pon-
celet led the defense with seven
tackles and one sack.
Our offensive line really played
well tonight. Noah Prodzinski and
Alex Nelson at ends and Caleb
Arendt, Seth Tupper, Robby Pol-
litt, Connor Hegseth and Evan
Block in the line did an excellent
job, praised Coach Rauen. Free-
dom Hunt did a nice job of run-
ning the ball and passing. We didnt
pass that much, but he was accu-
rate when he threw. It was a really
good game for us and one we
needed.
The Couagrs will play at Pine
Island on Friday. The Panthers have
a 2-1 record and are coming off a
41-20 win over Kenyon-Wana-
mingo. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

game in Kenyon. The Knights Ted Androli (9), Quinn Traxler (53) and Devyn Stordahl (20) help on the tackle.
PI wins the showdown at KW
By Faye Haugen
PINE ISLAND - One of the
better games played last season
was the Section 2AA semifinal
contest between Pine Island and
Kenyon-Wanamingo. The Panther
defense stopped the Knights from
scoring late in the game to squeak
out a win. PI then beat Norwood
Young America to advance to State.
Fridays HVL match in Kenyon
was a rematch of that memorable
game, but Pine Island dominant
this time around, winning 41-20.
Ben Farrell was a dominate
weapon in the Panther attack. The
senior running back rushed for TDs
of 15, 17 and eight yards and he
threw for another to end the game
with 120 yards rushing, 52-yards
passing and four TDs. He also in-
tercepted a pass and recorded an
interception for a very well-
rounded game.
PI took a 14-0 lead in the open-
ing quarter when Farrell ran for a
15-yard TD and threw a 52-yard
pass to Matt Kukson. Mitchell
Acker added both PATs.
Ted Androli cut into that PI lead
when the KW linebacker stepped
in front of a Chris Frick pass and
returned it 10 yards for the score.
The PAT failed. PI came right back
to take a 21-6 lead when Farrell
ran in from the 17.
Jacob Whipple cut PIs lead to
21-13 when he scored at the be-
ginning of the third quarter on a
seven-yard run. Drew Sathrum ran
in the conversion. Farrell scored
his fourth TD of the game on an
eight-yard run, and Tristan Aka-
son upped PIs lead to 34-14 when
he intercepted a pass and returned
it 50 yards to the end zone.
Luke Rechtzigel hit Sathrum
with a nine-yard pass in the fourth
quarter, but PI answered with an
11-yard rushing touchdown by
Akason for the 41-20 final score.
Frick was 2 of 7 passing for 34
yards and one interception to lead
PI. Matt Kukson caught one pass
for 52 yards, and Farrell gained
120 yards on 16 carries. Kukson,
Farrell, Akason and Bryce Kunz
all made interceptions for the Pan-
thers.
Rechtzigel was 3 of 12 passing
for 27 yards. Sathrum made two
receptions for 19 yards, and he
gained 121 yards on 21 carries.
