Principal Ashlands
departure leaves
unanswered questions
By Alicia Hunt-Welch
KENYON Questions regarding the abrupt departure of KenyonWanamingo 7-12 Principal Brent
Ashland continue to go unanswered
as school district representatives
remain close-lipped on the topic.
On December 15, the KW School
Board held their regular monthly
meeting; however, the board did
not discuss the circumstances involving Ashlands alleged resignation or plans for filling the position that was vacated on December 8. No customary letter of resignation from Ashland was included in the school board packet,
and no conversation about the resignation or plans to handle his
absence took place at the board
meeting.
The only mention of Ashlands
departure was one line on the personnel report stating, Brent
Ashland, middle-high school principal; resignation effective December 7, 2014. During the meeting
it was requested by a school board
member that the personnel report
be pulled from the consent agenda
for further discussion. However,
the only discussion that took place
was in regard to a new position
within Community Education.
The void of conversation about
the districts plan for the position
is unlike the handling of most other
resignations. At the end of the
meeting, Elementary Principal
Matt Ryan did allude to the topic
by commending staff for their flexibility and professionalism during this time of change.
On December 8 Superintendent
Jeff Evert had called an extremely

brief staff meeting (said to have

lasted about 15 seconds) only to
state that Ashland had resigned.
Shortly thereafter, all links to Principal Ashland or references to him
were removed from the schools
website. No message was sent to
parents to inform them of the
change or that Superintendent Evert
and K-6 Principal Ryan would be
covering grades 7-12 administrative responsibilities until a replacement could be found.
The district is currently advertising for an interim principal, for
January 5 through June 30, 2015.
A representative of the district
office said on December 19 that
after a new superintendent is hired
in 2015, that person will likely be
involved with hiring for a permanent position.
School board and
superintendent vacancies

As the new year begins the KW

District will also have a vacancy
on the school board to contend
with. Terms for four board members expire at the end of 2014:
Marilyn Syverson, Lisa Johnson,
Debb Paquin, and Elise Wrolstad.
In the general election, Syverson
and Jennifer Smith filed for candidacy and won. Jeremy Lerfald
ran as a write-in and had the highest number of votes. The individual
with the second highest number
of write-in votes was offered the
position but declined. The school
board decided to take applications
for the single vacancy.
At the December 15 meeting,
Evert said one application had been
received, from Jill Dornbach.
Paquin announced at the meeting

PIHS raises over $5,700 for Toys for Tots

competed to raise the most money.
Student council members, the facilitators of the event, collected
the money and kept track of
amounts. Taking first place was
Team Hoppe Hall (led by teachers Barb Hoppe, Margie Berg,
Katie Lenn, and Judy Stucky) with
$2155.10, Team Ma/rt (Nicole
Mentjes, Beth Kohner, Michelle
that she would be submitting an Ryan, and Shawn Hunskor) placed
application to remain on the board
two more years.
The districts search for a new
superintendent will also begin in
the new year. In October, Evert
submitted his letter of resignation
to the board, effective June 30,
2015. The district has hired Gary
Kuphal and Bruce Klaehn to assist with the search.

PINE ISLAND Pine Island
High School students collected
$5,725.66 for Toys for Tots during their annual toy drive from
November 17 to December 12. The
amount fell just short of their target goal of $6,000.
During the drive, den classes

second with $1645.03, Team SS

Mish (Joe Mish, Tony Brown, John
Stapleton, and Don McPhail)
placed third with $1452.23, and
Team KEEN (Larissa Kabat, Craig
Erickson, Shawn Erickson, and
Polly Ness) came in fourth with
$473.30.
The winning classes shopped
at Target in Rochester and local
businesses in Pine Island. The den
competition amounts were combined with other money the students collected from fundraising
activities to benefit the drive.
On Wednesday, December 10,
students and staff participated in

fun activities and competitions

before revealing the huge amount
of toys to the high school student
body, staff, and members of the
U.S. Marine Corp, who accepted
the donations on behalf of Toys
for Tots. U.S.
Marine Corps Reserve member
Richard Johnson addressed the
students and said he is always
impressed and thankful for the
amount of toys Pine Island School
donates, and that the school holds
the number one spot for donation.
The toys will be distributed to about
500 families in area communities
for Christmas this year.

Dairy Farmers of America

penalty waiver request is denied
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA The Zumbrota
City Council meeting Thursday,
December 18, began with an almost forty-five minute discussion
with Dairy Farmers of America
(DFA) about whether or not to
grant their waiver request for the
October 2014 penalty fees. Fines
for October were $29,205.
John Breene, director of operations of cheese, spoke on behalf
of the Zumbrota DFA plant. He
addressed the council and announced that his stance is the city
has violated the ordinance by imposing excessive fines. This was

to address the doubling of fines

that the council imposed on DFA
after they felt penalties and communication were not improving.
Breene also said, If you look at
it, we have not been doing any
worse than years past.
City Administrator Neil Jensen
referenced the contract with DFA
to show that the city was well within
its rights to double the fines In
the permit, under section G, it states
that DFA will notify the city immediately upon a violation. Failure to notify will result in a double
fine, Jensen said. You agreed to
this.
Lucy Schwartz, Zumbrota DFA
plant manager, then addressed the
council by stating, In October
our COD (chemical oxygen de-

mand) tests told us that we were

well within our limits. Our BODs
(biochemical oxygen demand)
dont come in until ten days later,
so we had no way to notify you of
a problem when we didnt know
about it ourselves.
Brad Drenckhahn said, Trust
me, no one wants this to go south.
He also addressed some issues with
missed samples and said that he
personally stands by the double
fines. I am willing to go back to
the old penalty levels if there comes
a time when things are going well
for a period of time, but right now
I agree with the double fines until
we can build a trusting relationship, Drenckhahn concluded.
Sara Durhman said, We cant
be the town that smells so bad. Its

Students competed to raise money

to have their favorite teacher receive
a pie in the face. The winner, with
an amount of $43, was high school
teacher Larissa Kabat. Tenth-grader
Emily Cote won the drawing to do
the honors.

awful! Our residents dont like it.

Durhman also informed DFA that
the reasoning behind imposing the
double fines was to get their attention and to take action to improve the situation and communication.
DFA maintains the stance that

Santa Petes Christmas message

Publishers
Notebook
By Santa Pete

Some things you dont see every day in Zumbrota are a black
Jesus Christ, a black Santa Claus,
or a black police officer. I saw the
latter issuing a ticket on Main
Street, Zumbrota this week. Diversity of beliefs and ethnicity
sometimes take a little longer to
reach rural areas and are glaringly
noticeable when they do.
The show Seinfeld once had an
episode in which everyone said,
not that theres anything wrong
with that after making any comment about gays. This was a way
of qualifying their comments so
they wouldnt make others uncomfortable or be accused of being
homophobic or close-minded.
One school of thought to achieve
normalcy from difference is to
openly recognize change. The other
is to ignore the change until it becomes normal, because it might
be considered insensitive and rude
to do otherwise.

The black police officers name

is Saah Grand. He serves in a pool
of replacement officers in Zumbrota and also Goodhue, not that
theres anything wrong with that.
Zumbrota recently hired a fulltime female police officer, Shannon Clemenson, not that theres
anything wrong with that either.
Its not quite as stark as a black
officer, but it shows acceptance
of diversity and broader public authoritarian roles.
Minnesotans seem to care that
theyre perceived as being nice,
but bristle at backcountry portrayals
such as those made in the movie
Fargo, you betcha!
I remember being excited to
watch the Goodhue girls basketball team play in the State Basketball Tournament a number of years
ago. One of the players interviewed
on live television joked that they
were all related (in Goodhue) because many of the teammates were
cousins. The innocent comment
started the Dueling Banjos song
from the movie Deliverence in
my head.
Stereotypes can be misguided
and hurtful. Martin Luther King,
Jr. asked us to judge people by the

content of their character, not the

color of their skin. The implication is that white individuals were
given that courtesy, while black
individuals were negatively prejudged.
Dr. Kings dream is not a free
pass through life. Being judged
for ones character can be a heavy
burden for any individual, white
or black.
Today its popular not to judge
or be judged at all, unless youre
judged for judging. Despite the
decline in church membership, its
fair to say that we have Jesus Christ
to thank for this. He reminded us
not to throw the first stone unless
we ourselves are without sin. I
would say most people (sinners)
are comfortable with this part of
the message. Its that the judging
is reserved for the Almighty that
makes a few people squirmish.
Expectations of respect, courtesy, self-sufficiency, and hospitality of ourselves and fellow man
are good. Tolerance is better than
bigotry, but embracing others with
love is healthy for ourselves, community, nation, and world. Merry
Christmas!

Merry Christmas, my friends!

Sterns
Side of
the Story
By Ed Stern

My, my, doesnt the time go

quickly! Here it is, Christmas Eve
already! And some of us are still
shopping! But, I can honestly say
that this has been a great Christmas season already.
Most of the TV and radio people
are already saying Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays for fear
of offending anyone. I see some
carolers from a nearby high school
were kicked out of Walmart, with
the threat of police intervention if
they didnt leave in an orderly fashion, and some stores have beefed
up security to prevent shoplifters
from forcing them to raise prices
again! Oh, what a joyous feeling
this brings to my heart!
But, look on the bright side...(I
didnt say these things to get you
upset. I am just pointing out the
facts as we are forced to see them
every day. Kind of like listening
to Simon and Garfunkel sing 7:00
News/Silent Night. This is how
life is!)
Look for the good things. Find
a childrens Christmas Program
at school. Go to one of the churches,
and hear the young voices proclaiming the joy of Jesuss birth.

They all say their pieces their

part of the program in either their
loudest outside voices...or in a voice
so quiet the rock concert volume
setting on the microphone brings
the line up to a quiet whisper! The
slightly off interpretations of what
they are saying adds to the joy.
One of my children was thinking
that Isaiah knew of the Magi
was supposed to be Alsaya must
have known the bad guys. This
adds little memories to the near
perfect performances that the Sunday School teachers are trying to
project.
Seeing or phoning old friends
can make your holiday worthwhile,
too. I did not realize that my dad
had the habit of calling his favorite sister each Christmas to give
her some Christmas Crap, as only
a Stern could. After I found out, I
continued the tradition until she
died. (And no, she didnt die from
hearing my voice!)
My Christmas is already a joyous occasion. We picked up Gretel
from the airport, for her Christmas break from Egypt. We ate at
White Castle! The same day, I visited with old friends from Kenyon
before I watched the girls and boys
basketball teams play their hearts
out before a packed house. I have
seen four concerts featuring the
oldest five grandchildren. And I
have some of my shopping done.
All that is left is hosting the
Kinlund Christmas, and enjoying

the White Elephant gift exchange,

going over the river and through
the woods to grandmothers
house, and then trying to get some
ice fishing done with my buddies,
Milt, Ron, Bruce, and John. Can it
get any better than this? I doubt it!
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year to both my friends! And the
rest of you, too!

Background
From
Devils
Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher

If you had a job you needed

done and you decided to hire someone to do it, you would define the
skills that person would definitely
need. You might also define some
optional skills that the person might
need. One skill, charisma, is a
two-edged sword. Charisma is
that ability to convince you that
you need the person who has it. If
you agree, you can wait forever
for any other skill to actually do
the job you wanted done.
Charisma is more than just talking the good story. It also convinces you that you were wrong
about the other skills you thought
you needed. Eventually, charisma
fails with a cry of, Its not my
fault! It is the rest of the people
trying to do the job. If we look at
our own political history, we will

find many examples of charismatic

leaders who took us the wrong
way. Mr. Obama is just the latest
charismatic person who thought
he knew what he was doing and
where he was going. What have
we learned about him?
It is too bad that we dont have
a skills test for the presidency.
We would have learned that he
has no leadership skills. Oh wait,
we knew that! His charisma told
us that we didnt need leadership
or management skills to lead or
manage the country. It is time we,
as a nation, learned to do the soul
searching for new leaders.
What kind of soul searching?
Ask yourselves: What were his
strong points, his weak ones, good
ones, and bad ones? For example,
we have nearby school districts
now looking for new superintendents. As part of the search criteria, what skills do we want the
new superintendent to have? Which
skills are considered critical, which
are necessary, and which are optional? If we have strong business

office staff who knows the budget, do financial skills move to

the optional category? Would a
newly licensed superintendent be
better?
Our next president should not
be as charismatic as Obama. The
next one should have some leadership, management, and decision
making (with envisioning the consequences of the decision) skill
set. What agenda does a possible
president carry? What agenda has
been completed? If we look at the
past six years of President Obamas
rain (I know the right word is
reign but this is my opinion),
we were charismatically sold or
convinced that he knew what he
was doing. We were told that 40
million citizens did not have health
insurance. Yet less than 20 million have signed up under the ACA!
Was the 40 million wrong and 20
million right? Why would 20 million people not sign up for free or
reduced insurance premiums health
care insurance? Did they find the
painful holes in ACA? Then chose
not to be visible? Until next week.

THE CHURCH CORNER

Just a baby?
Pastor Gary Basinski
New River Church, Zumbrota
When we celebrate a birthday,
we have a big cake, get together
with family, and celebrate
someones life. We do not just
celebrate the fact that they were
born, we celebrate who they are,
the qualities that make up their
life and so much more.
When we are celebrating Christmas as the birth of Jesus Christ we
must approach it with the same
mentality and attitude. It is not
just about the fact that Jesus was
born, but rather it is about all that
he was, and is, and stood for in his
life. The words that he spoke and
the way of life that he laid out for
us.
The first thing that Jesus said,
even before he started preaching,
is something that many people do
not want to address but is key to
believing in him. He said to repent for our sins and turn to God.
He doesnt say this to put us down,
but rather he says it because he

knows what sin does to all of us.

Sin traps us, it entangles us, and
we cannot get out on our own.
Jesus paid the price for us, for our
sins, when he died on the cross.
When Jesus says to repent and
turn to him, it is because he loves
us and wants us to be free from sin
and spend eternity in heaven with
him.
In this season when we are singing songs, about Christmas and
joy and so many other things, let
us remember what this season is
really about. It is about the birth
of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He
came to save us from our own sin.
It is up to us take advantage of the

opportunity and make him our

Lord. When we do that, we then
can truly have peace and joy in
our lives, because it is then based
on him being our Lord and not our
circumstances in our individual
lives. If you find yourself wanting to know more about Jesus and
the meaning of Christmas, I would
love to talk more with you! Please
email
me
at
gary.nragz@gmail.com or you can
call the church office at 507-7325156. God Bless and have a fantastic Christmas!

ZM battles for a full-time

school resources officer
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA On Friday,
December 12, the Zumbrota Police Department, ZM school administration, ZM staff members,
and Pete Hinrichs met to discuss a
current situation at ZM Schools.
An undisclosed controlled substance was found in the Mazeppa
building after the Thanksgiving
break. The drug dogs were brought
in on Thursday, December 11, but
nothing was found. Hinrichs
stressed that while nothing was
found during the search, school
officials are concerned that some
activity is still going on. The plan
is to bring in the drug dogs two or
three more times throughout the
school year.
A letter was mailed to parents
informing them of the situation,
explaining that the school brought
in drug dogs, and providing a resource for them to review when
talking to their kids about drugs
and making good choices.
Zumbrota police noted that controlled substances today are more
potent, less expensive and easier
to hide than in the past. It was also
noted that curriculum flexibility
is more difficult today than it used
to be, making it harder to spend
time in the classrooms dealing with
substance abuse education.
ZM staff and administrators feel
that the vast majority of students
in the district are well-meaning
kids, noting that drugs have been
around schools all over the country for decades. They know they
may never eliminate drug use in
schools, but feel they have to continue to be diligent in reducing the

number of kids who use controlled that was a budget cut casualty in

his disapproval of the denial to

The district can patch things
together for the last half of this
school year and focus on a fulltime SRO for the 2015-2016 school
year. A full-time SRO is about
$80,000 a year, and without a grant,
the district will eventually run into
the issue of having enough funding.
The board agreed to continue
discussing this and come up with
further plans to protect the safety
of their students.

Superintendent Tony Simons

reported that the deadline to turn
in a waiver request to begin the
school year earlier has not passed,
and the school has until April 15,
2015 to meet the requirements and
turn in a waiver.
Currently ZM Middle and High
School students will begin the
2015-2016 school year on September 8 with elementary students
starting on September 11. The
school has discussed starting prior
to Labor Day, but has had very
little support from neighboring
schools. Simons noted that the
biggest hurdle in getting support
from other schools is Red Wing
which is adamantly against starting before Labor Day and is a key
factor in terms of influence.
Simons said that the school can
go it alone without support from
other schools, but it may be harder
to get the waiver approved. He
opened the topic up for discussion from board members and then
to visitors. Wendt supports the idea
of starting the school year earlier
if they could make it work, particularly with Wasioja Education
Technology schedules.
Jean Roth, who was voted onto
the board beginning in January,
said that she loves the flexibility
that an earlier start time would
bring. She noted that starting earlier would give the school the ability
to extend the holiday break by a
day and a half or account for snow
days that tend to happen in Minnesota.
It was decided to push further
discussion to the next meeting. If
the board decides to turn in the
waiver to the Minnesota Department of Education they must hold
three public meetings on the matter before the April 15 deadline.
Charlie Kyte Consulting from
Northfield was chosen as a consulting service for choosing a new
superintendent. Wendt said he felt
Kyte offered a more comprehensive package than others.
The decision to order the School
Finance Negotiations Software has
been tabled until July.
The board reviewed the proposed
2015-16 school calendar, with the
thought that they will produce
mock-ups of starting before Labor Day so they can get an idea of
what it will look like.
The curriculum committee recommended that the high school
social studies graduation credits
be reduced from 4.0 to 3.5 credits
beginning in the 2016 fiscal year.
The board approved the change.
There will be a board organization meeting at the ZMES Media
Center in Mazeppa at 6 p.m. before the January 5 regular board
meeting.

to be determined whether or not
the sludge is coming from the DFA

Mayor Rich Bauer called for a

workers and shoppers at local businesses. It also offers occupational

and physical therapy, budgeting
help, and an overall environment
focused on personal improvement
and self-care.
There are a variety of circumstances where safety, security, and
comfort may become issues for a
person, explained Erickson. He or
she may have dementia, hearing
problems, or related conditions.
ProAct, which has been serving people with disabilities for more
than forty years, underwent an
extensive year-long process with
the state to gain approval. Social
interaction is key for seniors,
Erickson said. ProAct emphasizes
a person-centered approach that
seeks direction from the person
being served, as well as their fam-

ily and other caregivers. Participation can improve a persons

home life situation, and the manager said some people are surprised
that a service like this is available.
The program is customized to
the individuals needs and desires.
Exercise opportunities are also
available, and a public health nurse
makes twice monthly visits.
Service costs are generally covered through Goodhue County
Health and Human Services under the Elder Waiver program.
Facility hours are 8:30 a.m. to 2:30

Martin Luther, 1585

From heav'n above to earth I come

To bear good news to every home;
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
Whereof I now will say and sing.

Welcome to earth Thou noble Guest,

Through whom the sinful world is blest!
Thou com'st to share my misery,
What thanks shall I return to Thee?

To you this night is born a child

Of Mary chosen virgin mild;
This little child, of lowly birth,
Shall be the joy of all the earth.

Ah! Lord who has created all,

How hast Thou made Thee weak and small
That Thou must choose Thy infant bed
Where humble cattle lately fed.

This is the Christ, our God and Lord,

Who in all need shall aid afford;
He will Himself your Savior be,
From all your sins to make you free.

And where the world ten times as wide,

With gold and jewels beautified,
It would be far too small to be
A narrow cradle, Lord of Thee.

He brings those blessings long ago

Prepared by God for all below,
That in His heavenly Kingdom blest
You may with us forever rest.

For velvet soft and silken stuff

Thou has but hay and straw so rough,
Whereon Thou Kind, so rich and great,
As 'twere Thy heaven, art throned in state.

These are the tokens ye shall mark;

The swaddling-clothes and manger dark;
There shall ye find the young Child laid
By whom the heavens and earth were made.

And thus, dear Lord it pleased Thee

To make this truth quite plain to me,
That this world's honor wealth and might
Are naught and worthless in Thy sight.

Now let us with gladsome cheer

Go with the shepherds and draw near
To see the wondrous gift of God,
Who hath His own dear Son bestowed.

Ah! Dearest Jesus, holy Child,

Make Thee a bed soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A chamber consecrate to Thee.

Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes!

What is it in your manger lies?
Who is this child so young and fair?
Dear little Jesus lieth there.

My heart for very joy doth leap,

My lips no more can silence keep;
I, too must sing with joyful tongue
That sweetest ancient cradle-song.

Butlers host a Giving Tree at McDonalds

Along with some company-owned McDonalds restaurants in the south metro area, Tom and Kay Butler
hosted a Giving Tree in their ten restaurants from November 28 through December 12. One of their
restaurants is the McDonalds in Zumbrota. From left to right are Stephen Butler, supervisor; Tom and Kay
Butler; Tom Davis, restaurant manager; and Jessica Wesley, office manager. Customers and employees were
asked to donate toys and household goods to Ronald McDonald House Charities-Upper Midwest. Five full
SUVs were then filled on December 15 to take to the Twin Cities Ronald McDonald House on the University
of Minnesota campus. This RMH is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. The Butlers have hosted their
Giving Tree since 2005.

KENYON By being patient
on offense and playing an aggressive full-court press, the Goodhue
boys basketball team dictated the
result of Fridays game with
Kenyon-Wanamingo.
The Wildcats 49-18 win puts
them into first place in the HVL
Blue Division.
The Knights had trouble all
evening getting the ball up the court
and getting the ball to fall through
the hoop even though they had
some very good looks. Goodhue
led 33-10 at the half and they outscored KW 16-8 in the second half.
Jacob McNamara and Tyler
Schumacher paced Goodhue with
15 points each. Gavin Roosen netted nine points to pace KW who
shot 55% from the field to the
Knights 15%.

Plainview-Elgin-Millville
The Cougars earned an impressive 48-15 win over PlainviewElgin-Millville in their other match
on Tuesday.
Pins went to Hayden Stensland,
Joey Majerus, Maverick Jackson,

PI earns a big HVL win over Triton

By Faye Haugen
PINE ISLAND Looking at
Thursdays contest between Pine
Island and Hayfield, on paper it
looked like a big win for the Cobras with the Panthers giving up a
number of forfeits. But the Panthers were able to shift some of
their junior varsity wrestlers up to
the varsity level, and they produced a 48-27 win for their first
HVL win of the season.
Pine Island got off to a huge
start and never looked back, winning the first nine matches for a
48-0 lead. Triton did come back
to win the last five weights, but it
was not nearly enough.
Dylan Fallon, Isaac Haman,
Connor Swarthout, Brogan Kunz
and Trevor Turner all won with
pins. Ethan Goplen and Noah Bauer
won by forfeit, and decision winners were Jack Williams and Noah
Koenig.

ZUMBROTA A smothering
Hayfield defense caused nothing
but problems for the ZumbrotaMazeppa girls basketball team in
HVL action on Zumbrota, Thursday. The Vikings forced 30 ZM
turnovers in a 70-47 victory.
Hayfield took a 30-18 lead at
the end of the first half, but their
offense really got rolling over the
last 18 minutes as they outscored

the hosts, 40-29.

Lauren Miller continues to be
the bright spot of the Cougar offense as the freshman pumped in
19 points to lead ZM in scoring.
The Cougars did hit seven threes
to the Vikings four.
Zumbrota-Mazeppa will get a
break over the holidays, resuming their schedule on Tuesday,
January 6 when they host Triton.

Kenyon-Wanamingo tops Goodhue for

first place in the HVL Blue Division
By Faye Haugen
KENYON First place in the
HVL Blue Division was on the
line when 3-0 Goodhue visited 30 Kenyon-Wanamingo on Friday
evening in girls basketball action.
It was expected to be a close
game, but the Knights secondhalf
defense shut the Wildcats down
in a 55-47 victory.
KW jumped out to a 6-0 lead on
a pair of threes and they never
looked back, building a 12-point
lead just before the half. But
Goodhue came storming back to
make it 32-25 by the horn at the
break and they scored the first five
points of the second half to make
it 32-30.
After a KW timeout, the Knights
regrouped to apply more defensive pressure and shut the Goodhue
offense down. KW held Shelby
Hinsch to just a pair of free throws
in the second half after the Cat
senior scored 10 points in the first
half of play.
Another key to KenyonWanamingos big win was balanced scoring. Just five Knight
players scored, but four of them
were in double figures. Savannah
Bleess scored a game-high 19
points, Brittney Flom added 18,
Mara Quam 17 and Megan Quam
10 points.

But Caledonia prevailed,

We knew they were fast and
very athletic. We had some game
goals to focus on and, unfortunately, we did not play well enough
to accomplish them, lamented
Coach Miller We struggled as a
team with rebounding and taking
care of the basketball. Caledonia
does an excellent job of scoring

Eliza Warneke led PI with 14

Im not happy with how we
executed our game plan the last

learn from that. We have a lot of

Oronoco council to equalize

rules for Gold Rush vendors
By Karen Snyder
ORONOCO Oronoco City
Attorney Fred Suhler reported at
the December 16 council meeting
on the results of the task assigned
him at the November meeting.
He had, as specified, studied the
city code and determined that by
amending a couple of ordinances,
the council could achieve its goal
of making all Gold Rush Days
vendors, not just those who set up
on public property, subject to Gold
Rush rules.
Applying the rules to everyone
could increase safety during setup
and coordinate operations throughout the event. Our number one
goal is to get everyone on the same
setup time, Councilor Skyler
Breitenstein had said during
Novembers discussion. This year
was worse than ever.
Minor adjustments to city code
could solve the problems, said
Suhler who then got another assignment, to rewrite the pertinent
ordinances and bring the revisions
to the councils January 20 meeting.

havent been addressed. Approximately one-third of items indoors
and everything outdoors remain

The council voted 4-0 to notify

of the citys intent to occupy the
shop, and to inform the bonding
company that moving into the
building does not mean accepting
that its finished.

he said.
He agreed to McDermotts request to patrol Oronoco Park more

McDermott and the council expressed sympathy to the Gordon

Approved the 2015 budget. Its
up from 2014, but because of a
bigger tax base more
homeowners and businesses the
city wont raise its taxes. Any increases, Breitenstein said, are because the county raised assessments
and we cant do anything about
that.

proposed it would be a good idea and
more efficient to expand the negotiating
team to the full board. Warneke thought
we could offer the choice to the principals. It has been done in the past and
seemed to help. Champa would like for

PI earns first gymnastics win

By Faye Haugen
PINE ISLAND The Pine Island gymnastics team earned their
first dual meet win of the year
when they topped LaCrescent on
Friday in Pine Island, 123.48121.70.
We had another good meet,
said Coach Chris Templeton.
Vault went well, but our scores
were not as high as last week. We
took the top three spots on the
bars tonight, and we had only three
falls off the beam. This event is
getting better every week, but we
still need to work on our presentation and connections. That will
come with practice. Floor didnt
go as well had it could have.
Placing for PI were Brynn Olson, first in vault, beam and all
around, second on the bars and
third on the floor; Brittney Arendt,
first on the bars, second on the
floor and third all around; and
Robin Talbot, third on the bars.
Notching personal high scores
in the meet were Talbot and Olson in the vault and Arendt on the

start and never looked back against
the young Cougar squad. KWs

full-court pressure forced a number of ZM turnovers that were

converted to easy points on layups.

lead KW in scoring with Brittney
Flom adding 16. Lauren Miller

was the only ZM player to reach

double figures in scoring with 11
points. No other ZM player scored

Back in the saddle again

While sitting in the gym taking photos and watching basketball in Kenyon
on Tuesday, I realized how much I missed
working the past three to five weeks,
depending on how you look at it. I was
able to get back to writing up sports
articles two weeks ago and Ive been
back in the gym the past week and a
half.
Five weeks ago a small infection
turned into something much more life
threatening. Two surgeries and eight
days in the hospital have me back on
the path to wellness. If I look slow moving about, or leave a game a little early,
I know when to call it quits. But each
day is better than the last, and Im just
glad to be back to work.

Groth Implement celebrates 40 years and a new site

By Alicia Hunt-Welch
WANAMINGO Groth Implement of Wanamingo celebrated
the grand opening of its new location and 40th year of business with
an open house on December 11.
This year, Groth Implement moved
from its longtime location on Main
Street to the Industrial Park. Company President Brian Groth said,
We couldnt have reached this
40-year milestone without the support of our dedicated customers.
150-200 customers from far and
near came to celebrate with the
business.
The Groth family got its start in
the farm equipment business when
Fred Groth Sr. purchased the Main
Street property in December 1946
to sell implements and other engines. Ownership of the business
changed hands over the years and
in 1974 Lew and Liz Groth purchased the property and opened
Groth Implement, featuring New
Holland equipment.
After school, Lew and Liz
Groths children, Brian and Barb,
would ride their bikes along Highway 60 from Kenyon to
Wanamingo to help at the dealership. Brian worked in the shop,
washing and fixing equipment. All
that did was teach me that I dont

took over sales for Groth Implement in the mid-1980s and soon
after approached his father about
buying the business. Lews only
stipulation was that his son needed
four years of college. Brian did
so, earning a bachelors degree in
business with a minor in accounting. He was serious about owning

the business and there was no stopping him from his goal. Lew said,
I tried to talk him out of it, right
up until the papers were
signed...Brian had his mind made
up.
On April 1, 1997, Brian took
the reins and Lew happily retired.
However, Liz stayed on and still
works with Brian part-time. Liz

lucked out having Liz as an employee. She works harder than

last two years Groth Implement
has been named JCBs Top Ag
Performer in the United States. It
is also being promoted as the showcase dealer for JCB, as a model
for potential new dealerships.
Due to customer demand, Brian
Groth keeps a majority of his New
Holland inventory at the Mazeppa
site and JCB equipment in
Wanamingo. In the future, he
would also like to add more earthmoving equipment to his inventory for construction use, in addition to Krause tilling equipment
to help maintain sales constancy
from year to year.
Over the past four decades, Groth
Implement has seen continued
growth. This year the company
needed more outdoor and indoor
space, along with an updated building. When a building in the Indus-

with KT

trial Park came up for sale, Groth

made the calculated decision to
buy it and the adjacent land for a
new site. After Labor Day, the
building at 850 3rd Avenue opened
for business. Groth said,
Wanamingo is a good community to do business in. There is a
lot of loyalty...It is a pleasure doing business with people like that.
They appreciate the fact that you
are here, they support you, and
thats all you could ask for.
Brians younger cousin, Jarid
Groth, now works for him. Brian
is proud of the fact that Jarid is the
fourth generation of Groths to work
in the family implement business.
Jarid recently graduated from
Luther College with a degree in
business.
Lew said his son would one day
regret his decision to buy the business. But after 17 years as owner,
Brian has no regrets. He said, I
enjoy the challenge of being successful. Brian also likes supporting the town and the area through
business. He is thankful for career he has chosen and for the success he has experienced. I do recognize how lucky I have been,
he said.

start the new year smoke-free

Submitted by Goodhue County
Health and Human Services
PINE ISLAND A Pine Island
apartment complex will start the
new year with a smoke-free policy.
Wazuweeta Woods Apartments
will implement the policy on New
Years Day.
Smoking will no longer be permitted anywhere inside the building, including individual living
units. There will be a designated
smoking area outdoors at the edge
of the parking lot. This will be
the only place where smoking and
the use of electronic cigarettes will
be permitted.
This is just another step in our
efforts to make our rental properties safe and healthy for all residents, said Kim Reinsvold, Lloyd
Managements on-site manager for
Wazuweeta Woods.
The apartment residents received
a written notice about the new
policy in August. All residents
were invited to an informational
meeting that was held on September 18. Tom Wolff, Tobacco Grant
Coordinator for Goodhue County
Health and Human Services, was
the invited speaker at the meet-

ing, which included about fifteen

residents.
I wanted to be sure all of the
residents understand that breathing secondhand smoke is a serious health hazard, Wolff said.
Smoke-free policies in rental
buildings are the only way to protect residents from smoke infiltrating between units.
Residents also learned about the
damage smoking causes to rental
properties and the significant cost
that management has to pay to
rehabilitate a smoked-in unit to
get it ready to rent again.
Smoke-free policies are good
for business and good for health,
Wolff said.
During November, all residents
signed a smoking policy addendum to their leases. The new policy
will be enforced like any other
part of the lease. The change does
not require residents to quit smoking, but it does require them to go
outside to the designated smoking area. Signs will be posted
when the new policy takes effect.
The owners of the apartments
asked Lloyd Management to implement the new smoking policy. The

American Lung Association office in Mankato helped Lloyd

Management initially and then
connected them with the Four
Corners Partnership staff at
Goodhue County Health and Human Services to get local help to
implement the new policy.
The Four Corners Partnership
is a project of the public health Right: three-year-old Jace Packer

duce the harm tobacco causes.
This includes working with landlords and tenants to increase smokefree housing. Learn more at: www.

law enforcement, $255,039 for the
fire fund, $31,770 for planning
and zoning fund, $8,685 for civil
defense, $480,519 for the street
fund, $93,669 for the swimming
pool fund, $55,351 for the parks
fund, $91,447 for other expenses,
and $416,000 for transfers out. The
expenditures will total $2,121,927.
General fund balances

The estimated general fund balance on December 31, 2014 is

$559,748. The estimated general
fund balance on December 31,
2015 is $605,572, or 29% of expenditures from the fund.
The state auditor recommends
that cities maintain an uncommitted fund balance of 35% to 50% in
general and special reserve funds.
Because the city receives revenue
from property taxes twice annually, the fund balance is necessary to make timely payment for
operating expenses and for cash
flow between the tax payments.
About levies

The counties evaluate a portion

of the residential and commercial
properties in the City of Pine Island each year on a five-year assessment cycle. The counties adjust property taxes according to
market values and funding needed
for services from schools, the city,
townships, and the counties. Local financial needs are considered
when there is an increase in the
tax rate on properties.
Pine Island is working to attract

more residents, commercial properties, and businesses to reduce

the burden on taxpayers.
History of city tax rate

In a comparison of the city tax

capacity rate of thirteen local cities, Pine Island will rank fourth
from the top in 2015 with a tax
capacity rate of 73.46%. The average of the compared cities is
70.57%. Eight of the cities have
increasing tax rates. The tax capacities range from 50.51% in
Rochester to 94.66% in
Wanamingo.
Pine Island ranked fifth from
the top in 2014 with a tax rate of
70.89%, compared to the thirteen
cities average of 69.98%. Pine
Island and Cannon Falls were the
only cities in the comparison with
decreasing rates.
Levy certification

Eickhoff said the total levy is

about 5% more than in 2014.
$22,014 will be going to general
operations instead of servicing
debt. The increase in the levy is
due to increased spending for street
repairs and improvements, inflation on all supplies and materials,
and employee health insurance
costs.
In 2014, the city council certified a total of $1,538,094 for the
final 2014 levy and debt service
to the county auditors. It included
$1,097,000 for general government
and $441,094 for the debt levy.
On December 16, 2014, the
council approved certifying a total of $1,614,880 for the final 2015
levy and debt service. It includes
$1,195,800 for general government
and $419,080 the debt levy.

By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND On December 16, the Pine Island City Council decided to take further action
to remove the trailer that is in violation of zoning ordinances at 806
White Pine Road SE. The Goodhue
County Sheriffs Office sent a citation to the owner, Irma Ortega.
Building inspector Tom Thompson viewed the trailer and property for the violation.
According to reports, a deputy
spoke with owner. The report was
that the owner was not concerned
about what the City of Pine Island
did with the property.
Mayor Rod Steele recommended
deferring the issue to legal counsel, Kennedy and Graves. City
Clerk Jon Eickhoff told the council that the next step is to sue.
There was no building permit for
the trailer (which is a misdemeanor), a zoning violation, and
no motor vehicle sales business
occurring on the site.
Legal counsel advised the council that removing the trailer was
problematic. It would need to be
an emergency or by consent, or it
would violate the Fourth
Amendment. The best direction is
getting a court order, an injunction, to remove it. If the owner
fights, it could get drawn out.
The council approved accepting the building inspectors analysis
and directing city attorneys at
Kennedy & Graves to move forward to get an injunction to remove the trailer and put the land
back to its original condition.
Tree replacement policy

Eickhoff presented information

about tree replacement policies for
street construction projects. Pine
Island currently doesnt have one.
He investigated policies from
other cities. Some remove a portion of trees. Some replace trees
with new trees on boulevards. Some
remove all trees prior to construction. Some jog portions of sidewalk around healthy, established
trees.
Mayor Steele and Jerry Vettel
said the city should save the trees
that can be saved. Vettel said, But
we need some policy.
Parking restriction

Jim Mack of Pine Island Bank

presented information about common methods of bank robbery. He
requested that the city restrict parking overnight two spots on 2nd
Street SW to protect employees
and the bank.
The council approved the request. City staff were directed to
prepare an ordinance to amend the
present parking ordinance.
No parking is allowed in the
spots from 1-6 a.m. The restriction will be enforced by the
Goodhue County Sheriffs Office.
Water and sewer rates

Eickhoff reported that the funds

are decreasing in the Sanitary
Sewer Fund. The projection is that
the funds will continue to

decrease over time due to needing more cash for repairs and improvements. There has been some
infiltration into the sewer system.
In 2012, the Peoples management contract ended and the city
took over its own management of
the facility. Eickhoff said once all
of debt service rate fees ended,
the fund began to lose ground. It
has gone down $300,000 in four
years, he said. In 2015, it will
be down $185,000.
He recommended maintaining
at least $1million in the fund until
2026. He also recommended adding a 5% sewer fee next year with
an increase of 1.6% yearly. On a
$65 bill this is an increase to $67,
he said.
Erik Diskerud asked, At what
point do we budget for a new
plant? Eickhoff said, We planned
for 2018. A new plant is estimated to cost $20,000,000. Pine
Island will revisit the idea of a
regional facility with the City of
Oronoco.
Eickhoff reported that the Water Fund is doing fine at the present
rate, which should be continued.
It cost $400,000 to paint a water
tower. He said he does not recommend changing the water fee.
Other business

Mayor Steele thanked Randy

Bates for his work and time on the
council. He said, It wasnt always easyyou did an outstanding job. He described Bates as a
voice of reason with common sense
and sometimes a sense of humor.
Firefighters Ryan Schaffer and
Casey Sather were promoted to
active duty. They took their oath
to serve on the fire department.
Kevin Lockwood will also be promoted to active duty at a later date.
He was not able to attend this
meeting.
City Engineer Neil Britton reported briefly on the information
gained from the sewer flow meters
and filming. Fortunately, information was recorded during some
heavy rainfalls. He said the sewer
system by Kwik Trip is handling
ten times the appropriate amount.
There are also similar issues southeast of the school and under the
track and river. There are other
areas of concern where groundwater could be infiltrating the system or ground. Areas needing repair or replacement were discovered from the flow study.
The council approved business
licenses for 2015. In the agenda,
the licenses renewed for the first
time are highlighted and the others were renewed by a prior resolution.
Closing inactive funds for flood
funding and the nursing home, and
tax abatement for the KAATS
gymnastics facility were approved.
There will be one more transfer
from the general fund for KAATS.
At the end of the year, council
action is needed to get inactive
funds off of the books.

Pine Island
PI school board and principals agree on two-year contract
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND At the meeting on December 15, the Pine Island School Board approved a new
two-year contract with Principals
Cindy Hansen and Kevin Cardille.
All members of the school board
met with the principals for negotiations at 4:30 p.m. the same day.
Board chair John Champa said
the contract includes an increase
of 2.05% in 2014-15 and in 201516. The language from the 201213 and 2013-14 principals contract will remain in the new agreement.
Behavior intervention reporting

Superintendent Tammy BergBeniak

commended
Josh
Westphal, Patrick Gorman, and
Taylor Bauman for their work on

the online Pine Island Behavior

Intervention Report (BIR) system.
The three collaborated on the reporting system and making it accessible for staff to almost immediately file a student behavioral
report online. Westphal said that
the reports are available in minutes for follow-up intervention.
Thirteen other districts are currently using the Pine Island BIR,
which is the property of the Pine
Island Schools. Superintendent
Berg-Beniak told them, You and
your hard work are greatly appreciated.
Westphal said this is similar to
the systematic approach to proactive, school-wide behavior support in PBIS (Positive Behavioral
Intervention and Supports). It can

be used for end of year reporting.

The behavior can be analyzed in
real time with location, time, and
perceived motivation. This is Version 1.1, and Version 1.2 will be
ready after winter break.
Westphal, Gorman, and Bauman
are preparing a how-to video to
use the reporting for 78 other
schools. The Pine Island BIR
could become the state-preferred
tool. We are getting good feedback, Westphal said.
Grades 5-12 principals report

seling, the alternative learning

program, online learning, and
Ramp Up for Readiness are included in the plans. Additional staff
will be needed in 2015-16 in science, art, Spanish, industrial tech,
and music. More teaching staff
will be needed for Project Lead
the Way and other class offerings.
Programs are in development
to offer college credits. The district is working to make agreements with local colleges to accept the credits.
Cardille stressed the importance
of students developing vocabulary
to be successful in testing and postsecondary education. He said that
most students who must take remedial math when entering college either waited to continue their
education or did not take more
math as seniors. Students will also
have more options for credit recovery.
The high school is planning a
PBIS assembly to recognize the
positive things the students have
accomplished since the start of
school.

Principal Kevin Cardille reported on the plans for the eleventh grade to take the state-mandated ACT test. The ninth, tenth,
and twelfth grade students will have
an online learning day with their
teachers. The building will be
empty except for students who are
testing. The eleventh grade will
come to the building and be assigned to specific room for testing. The teachers assigned will
proctor the test.
Cardille reviewed short and long
term course and program planning
in science, math, English, social
studies, art, Spanish, agriculture, Financial update
FACS, business, industrial tech,
Todd Netzke updated the board
and music. Improvements for coun- on the budget on November 30. The

district has received 36.9% of total revenues, compared to 44.4%

in 2013. The revenues into the
district so far total $4,133,350. The
remaining revenues the district will
receive total $7,068,197.
The expenditures so far total
$3,580,716 or 32.3% of the budget, compared to 36.2% in 2013.
The remaining planned expenditures total $7,508,530. There has
been some decrease in spending
for salaries and increase for health
benefits for employees.
Netzke said most funds that have
not been received are for special
education, donations, and fees. He
said he has never seen a district
with a budget so close to the previous year and the year before that.
Other business

Student representative Keanan

Petersen-Rucker reported that the
students are studying for finals.
Block scheduling will be used for
the two days of finals. This is eliminating some stress for the students
because of the longer time periods. Many teachers are helping
students during lunch. This is helping those with meetings during
prowl time to meet with teachers.
He recognized the technology

department for the smooth transition to the new tablets, and for
quickly fixing any problems. The
students recognized teacher Larissa
Kabat because she is well prepared
but flexible with them. She works
daily to motivate them.
The school board approved:
The policy for sexually transmitted infections/disease, communicable diseases, and infectious
conditions
The policy for social media
sites hosted by the Pine Island
District, omitting a requirement
in the draft to post information
from the district website
Spending $1,400 annually for
membership with 60 other districts
in the MREA (Minnesota Rural
Education Association)
Service Solutions has started
taking over the night custodial
duties on the second floor of the
school.
The Department of Labor and
Industry visited the school. BergBeniak said the district can do some
of its own wiring repairs when
necessary, which will be a savings. Harleys Quality Electric in
Pine Island will oversee the work.

Plans underway to renovate PI School

By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND At the Pine
Island School Board facility update meeting on December 15,
Kerry Hayden and Kim Fall reported on the plans that are developing to renovate the current school
for grades 5 to 12 by fall 2016.
Though the part of the building
that was built in 1934 will be demolished in the summer, the basement will be preserved to keep the
heart of the building running after
its down. The infrastructure for
the entire facility is in this basement. Plans to move this system
are evolving, and this basement
could be abandoned later. The 1934
section can be rebuilt with school
in session.
The design of the auditorium
was been completed. The music
department reviewed the design
and was pleased. There will be an
orchestra pit that can be covered

by the stage. A screen can be used

at the front of the stage. A catwalk
is included in the design. Construction should start in the spring.
Fall said that work on the fitness center and commons area
could be started this summer. These
projects might be finished when
school starts. Some of the offices
may be moved to the front of the
building. Progress is dependent
on the amount of work that can be
completed in the summer. The new
track facility will be ready in the
spring of 2016.
Fall said there might be a buyer
for the portable classrooms, which
will open space on the grounds.
With the PreK-4 moving to the
new school, there will be new space
in the buildings for flexible classrooms and other activities. Architects are working on two drawings of alternatives for the forum
room. These drawings will help

make the decision for either a tiered

format or open framework.
Architects are working on plans
to make the commons more inviting to students by incorporating a
caf style with areas to meet and
eat, technology bars, and a screen
to simulcast events. The obsolete
concession stand will likely be
moved into the cafeteria and what
is now a teachers lounge. With
the relocation of the stand, the
restrooms could be expanded to
accommodate attendees at events
in the gyms. The current restrooms
might be combined to create a larger
mens restroom, and the concession area might become a larger
womens restroom.

PreK-4 School update

Superintendent Tammy BergBeniak reported on the progress

of the PreK-4 building. She said
most of the panels around the gym
are in place. Nine panels were installed incorrectly, but were redone over the weekend. The crews
worked on Saturdays to take advantage of the warmer weather.
The steel was delivered and the
roofs will be started the week of
December 22. The electrical service is connected and working at
the site.
The gym will be similar to the
gold gym with seating on one side.
The north wall will have windows.
It can be split down the middle.

Sergeant Wohl shares a story with PI students

By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND 2002 Pine Island graduate Sergeant Kevin Wohl
visited with kindergarteners and
first-graders on Tuesday, December 16, while home on leave. Wohl
read the book Nubs, a true story

about a mutt, a Marine, and a

miracle, to Anna Graners kindergarten students and Kate
Holcombs first grade students.
As a gift, Wohl presented each
of the classrooms with a complimentary copy of the book. After

reading the book, Wohl explained

briefly what he does in the military and answered questions from
the students.
Wohl has been serving in the
military for four years. When he
gets a chance to come back home
he tries to make a point to visit
with Pine Island students. Wohls
grandmother, Alicemay Clark,
spent the day with Wohl as he
visited the students. Clark enjoys
working with the younger students
and has been helping out at the
school for a number of years.
Upon returning from his threeweek leave, Wohl is looking forward to beginning his training at
Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, for a career in respiratory therapy.
