Large solar facility planned at Oronoco Crossings

ORONOCO Dairyland Power has signed an agreement with Minnesota-Three, LLC, to purchase the renewable energy produced by a planned large solar facility to be located along U.S. Highway 52 north of Rochester. The new solar installation will be 517 kilowatts (kW), and could produce enough energy to power nearly 60 homes. The facility will be located in the Oronoco Crossings business park and interconnected to Peoples Energy Cooperative power delivery system. Construction of the solar facility is scheduled to begin this spring and is planned to be operational by June 1, 2014. The solar installation will be developed, owned and managed by Minnesota-Three, LLC, owned by three Dairyland member cooperatives: FreebornMower Cooperative Services (Albert Lea), Peoples Energy Cooperative (Oronoco) and TriCounty Electric Cooperative (Rushford). Dragonfly Solar of Lakeville will be responsible for engineering, procurement and construction for the project which will utilize U.S. manufactured solar components. The development of this solar project complements Dairylands current renewable energy resources, which provide about 12 percent of our members energy, said Bill Berg, President and CEO. Expanding solar resources is consistent with Dairylands strategic intent to diversify our energy resources portfolio. Dairyland also purchases the excess energy output from a 368 kW solar generation facility owned by the City of Galena, Ill., and a number of smaller distributed generation projects. There are over 300 customerowned solar photovoltaic facilities in the Dairyland system and that number continues to grow. The managers of the local electric cooperatives that make up Minnesota-Three shared a joint statement about the opportunity to bring solar energy to their part of the state. Going it alone on a project like this would not have been possible. Electric co-ops have a rich history of working together, whether it is helping to restore power following a storm or providing additional programs or services to their memberships. We couldnt be more pleased about working together to bring renewable energy to this area of Minnesota that will benefit our members, stated Elaine Garry, President/CEO of Peoples Energy Cooperative; Brian Krambeer, President/CEO of TriCounty Electric Cooperative; and Jim Krueger, President/CEO of Freeborn-Mow-er Cooperative Services. With headquarters in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Dairyland provides wholesale electricity to 25 member distribution cooperatives and 16 municipal utilities. A Touchstone Energy Cooperative, Dairy-lands service area encompasses 62 counties in four states (Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois). Dairylands generation resources include coal, natural gas, hydro, wind, biomass, landfill gas, animal waste and solar. For more information, visit www.dairynet. com.

Zumbrota Optometric Center has new owner and new name

But dont expect any other changes at Zumbrota Eye Care, LLC
By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA Effective January 1, 2014, Zumbrota Optometric Center, P.A. became Zumbrota Eye Care, LLC when longtime employee Lacey Lexvold purchased the practice from Dr. Kevin Kish. According to both Lexvold and Kish, however, patients shouldnt expect to see changes in the 352 South Main Street office. Kevin has a real good thing going here, so nothing is really changing, said Lexvold. Other than a new sign outside due to the businesss name change (when the weather improves), possibly some lighting modifications and accepting credit cards in the future, patients and families should expect to still see the familiar, experienced staff amid the mix of original brick walls and modern technology. Kish purchased the practice from Dr. Tracy Mercer in 1977. At that time, the office was located across Main Street, at the present site of Edward Jones Investments. He moved the practice to its current location in 1992. He will remain as optometrist with the change of practice ownership. No other staffing changes are planned either. Lexvold, an area native, has worked in the practice for 17 years as an optician but plans to become certified. Joan Boomgaarden will continue to work in the office, further adding onto her 22 years of experience. Optician Kelsey Schulz is the newcomer, joining the others in August, 2013. Services offered include eye

Longtime employee Lacey Lexvold (far right) purchased Zumbrota Optometric Center, P.A. from Dr. Kevin Kish. The business is now called Zumbrota Eye Care, LLC, and Kish will remain the practicing doctor. Other employees are, from left to right, Joan Boomgaarden and Kelsey Schulz.

exams, contact lens exams and visual fields testing. Zumbrota Eye Care is a provider for many insurance companies. Lexvold also pointed out the wide selection of

competitively priced eyeglass frames available for patients to select from. Frames are chosen from the vendors by the staff. The hours of Zumbrota Eye Care

also remain the same: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 8 a.m. - noon and 1 - 5 p.m.; Thursday and Saturday 8 a.m. - noon. The office phone number is 7325013.

Dickie has been crafting fishing rods GCED building with students for over 35 years decision brought to
KW School Board
By Alicia Hunt-Welch WANAMINGO Cherie Johnson, director of the Goodhue County Education District, spoke to the Kenyon-Wanamingo School Board during its work session on January 13. Johnson informed the KW representatives that the GCED Board has voted to move forward with building a new special education site, and the preferred location is near Red Wing High School. The school districts of KenyonWanamingo, Goodhue, ZumbrotaMazeppa, Cannon Falls and Red Wing combine special education resources to educate students with special needs. Currently, old buildings in several locations are being leased and lack of space is an issue. For months the districts have been weighing the option to either throw money into deferred maintenance projects or into constructing a new building and consolidating at one site. With the GCED making their decision to move forward with building at one site, each consortium school district will need to vote as an individual board on whether or not to support that move. At the December meeting, the KW Board briefly discussed if combining with Byron for special education services was an alternative to contributing to a GCED building project. Superintendent Jeff Evert said he believed space was also limited at Byron, so eventually they may need to look at building there as well. The board work meeting agenda included time for discussion about the building proposal. The board will vote on this issue at the next regular monthly meeting on January 27 at 7 p.m. in the elementary school media center in Wanamingo. The board also discussed the 2012-13 audit report, school board By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND Pine Island High School students in Mr. Shawn Ericksons outdoor and wildlife classes and natural resources class spent the last couple of weeks building their own custom-made fishing rods under the experienced guidance of Mel Dickie from Rochester. The students were supplied with a plain rod, guides, handle, thread, epoxy, and other miscellaneous supplies. Dickie helped them get started and then continued to assist them as needed throughout the project. Though Dickie donated his time, the students paid between $65 to $75 to cover the cost of materials if they wanted to keep the fishing rod. Some of the students said they are keeping the rods for themselves while others said they are giving them away as gifts. Dickie is well known around the area when it comes to building custom fishing rods. The 92-yearold has been teaching his techniques for more than three decades. It is a lifelong passion for him and he has no plans of stopping anytime soon. Dickie wasnt sure when he first taught a class at Pine Island School, long ago but it must have been, but he recently talked to a former Dickie said with a smile. PI student whom he taught back Dickie also has been teaching in1978. I didnt think it was that an open after-school custom rod

class at Pine Island School every spring since 2009. For more information contact him at 507-2692579.

One of the key components in doing a good job as a school superintendent or school board member is staying informed and continually growing knowledge on a wide variety of topics which impact student learning and school systems. On the surface this sounds pretty simple. But in practice it can be quite challenging. I am very fortunate to work with a school board that greatly values staying informed and continually gaining knowledge. As I write this, I am at the Minneapolis Convention Center attending the Minnesota School Boards Association annual conference. Each of my board members planned to attend the conference, but unfortunately one member had something very important come up at work and had to cancel. I write the last sen-

tence because this type of dedication and commitment from an entire school board is the exception rather than the rule. I feel very fortunate to work with a school board that takes its role of representing the Goodhue community and running a school district very seriously. Each member is deeply committed to doing what is right for our students and our school system. And each member is willing to take the time off work and time away from family when needed to continue their individual and team learning related to running a school system. One of the best learning opportunities for school board members and superintendents is the Minnesota School Boards Association annual conference. This years conference has the theme Vision, Mindset, Grit! While at the conference the Goodhue School Board members and myself are learning about topics such as early literacy practices, preparations for the upcoming state legislative session, proposals to reform alternative facilities/deferred maintenance/ capital funding, understanding

employee contracts, Minnesota State High School League practices and policies, technology, student discipline practices, the Tennessan Warning, employee misconduct investigations, antibullying, college and career readiness, the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the rules pertaining to booster clubs, and many other similar topics. There are also many opportunities to visit interactive displays and learning opportunities where Minnesota districts share whats working for them in the classrooms and in their systems. There is sometimes the perception that when folks attend a conference its a time of relaxation and slacking off. Well, thats not the case at the MSBA conference for the team from Goodhue. As we begin the final day of the conference, Im mentally tired and my brain hurts a little from trying to digest so much information in such a short time. Im hoping my note-taking has been up to par as I know in the weeks ahead I will be revisiting the information shared with me at the conference.

Bullying the bullies

From Devils Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher

Finally, after two years or more of public and hidden debate, the Minnesota Legislature is going to draft the salient paragraphs and terms of a public school bullying policy. Forget about the work thats been done to update the policy to match stronger ones across the nation. The practitioners of retaliation are going to tell us how not to do it. It seems that political retaliation is okay at the state and national level but not in the school yard. I believe it is time that political retaliation is outlawed at all levels. What is retaliation in general terms? My Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary Eleventh Edition gives the definition: re-

taliation ... to repay (as an injury) in kind; to return like for like; esp. to get revenge. For bullying, it means the bully cannot seek revenge against the person or persons who turned them in to the authorities. While the policy is just words on paper, violating it will bring legal retribution. Now lets look at our great and wonderful political system; that is, the actions of Democrats and Republicans or any other political party that gets some power. Our current public example is Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey, and his staff. A few of his staff convinced the New Jersey Department of Transportation to do lane closures on the George Washington Bridge for a week to cause traffic problems in a town at one end of it. The mayor, a Democrat, refused to endorse Christie for governor and possibly president in 2016. Christies staff performed retaliation on the mayor. The Democrats are more subtle.

They used the IRS to block the registration of conservative PACs (Political Action Committees). Then the FBI investigated the IRS without questioning the PACs. The FBI concluded that the IRS did not commit a foul. Now ask yourself this question: How can a group of people who practice retaliation daily, tell the rest of us that retaliation is wrong and not to do it? When are the Congress and state legislatures going to ban the use of retaliation? The finger pointing also covers the president and the governors, their staffs and organizations, and the judges (and staffs) in the courts. Retaliation has a long history with some societies openly practicing it and other hiding it. Feuds are the open way and many times forced people to perform retaliation instead of seeking a peaceful resolution to the perceived problem. We need to break the cycle of retaliation in these United States of America now. Until next week.

A legal traffic diversion program is proposed

For years, Wabasha County, through the sheriffs office and approval of other public officials, have been operating a traffic diversion program, the Safe Driving Class, that the district court recently found unauthorized under state law. For years, despite the state auditors repeated warnings of the diversion programs questionable legality (and doing nothing about it) the county sheriff continued to ignore state law. This meant that for years, the sheriffs office has improperly collected money from citizens for minor traffic infractions. Before the commencement of the lawsuit that put a stop to the countys diversion program permanently, we tried to present a resolution to the Wabasha County Board to bring a legally sufficient traffic offense diversion program governed by state law to the county. Each time, the board leadership thwarted our efforts. Each time, the board leadership rejected our resolution and kept it from the agenda. We do not object to a traffic diversion program. We objected to law enforcements illegal program and their willingness to disobey the law they are sworn to obey. All we ask is that a diversion program for minor traffic offenses be legal. It serves the public well that law enforcement officials obey the law just as private citizens must. Its called good government, since it is a government by the people and for the people. We respect the law. The law can be a sword when necessary; it can be an olive branch as well. Our resolution, committed to the creation of a legal diversion program is an olive branch to those who have broken the law, however minor the traffic offense, to give the people an option other than expensive court proceedings. But, we must proceed as the law instructs us to do so. Without the law there is anarchy; there is no democracy. We must fight for democracy and for the rule of law. We are both committed to continue that fight, like it or not. County Commissioners Dave Harms Deb Roschen

Wage increases will not yield superior public servants

To the Editor: Assistant Wabasha County Attorney Michael Plante recently responded to my letter that exposed the excessive wage increases paid to elected officials in Wabasha County. Plante draws the conclusion that generous wages equate with top-flight managers. Lets contemplate his logic. Plante stated, Taxpayers should have the best and brightest officials running their government. Does he really believe that wage increases will suddenly yield superior public servants? This attorneys logic is twisted. For nine years Wabashas best and brightest officials have been operating an illegal program. The state auditor, attorney general, and two county commissioners tried to instruct these top-flight managers to cease their illegal ruse. It took ordinary citizens (not topflight managers) to rise up and hold our officials accountable to the very law that Plante and his compensation increase-seeking colleagues lacked the ability to properly interpret. How can it be that every day, underpaid taxpayers/citizens understood the law and Plante didnt? The judges recent ruling to shut down the program stated, The statute is unambiguous. He also said the continuation of this program would represent a continued and repeated trespass on the laws of the State of Minnesota. If the court insists the statute is clear, why did Michael Plante repeatedly counsel his county board to continue this illegal program? So the world according to Plante would have you believe he and the officials who willfully participated in an illegal program for nine years are not incompetent, they are simply underpaid. Beverly C.

Coping with winter

Outdoor Ramblings
By Melissa Gerken

I heard it on January 12. As I was methodically going about my business outside, doing chores, something familiar foggily registered in the back recesses of my brain. Stopping to take note, I listened intently. There it was again! Fee-beeFee-bee, the first spring song of our tiny avian friend, the black-capped chickadee. Always highly anticipated, this simple little melody is a reminder that the days are once again lengthening and spring is right around the corner. Since December 21, the shortest day of the year, we have gained a whole 40 minutes of daylight,

frosty though it is. Yes! However, despite the chickadees hopeful announcement, we are obviously still very much in the depth of winters grasp. Wild critters, each in their own ways, are coping amazingly well. Songbirds, for instance, in an effort to stoke their furnaces, have been hitting the bird feeders pretty heavily. Blue jays have even found the dog food, and are snacking on that between canine visits. Last time I discussed how certain mammals use hibernation to deal with winter, but what about the so-called cold blooded animals? Where are they now? Many years ago, Pat dug a pond near our house with the goal of attracting wildlife. Well, it worked. The pond has become a hotbed of aquatic life. Starting in April and lasting until July, the pond resounds with the calls of at least five different species of frogs and toads. As water temperatures slide down in the fall, they decide (to heck with this!) its time to get ready for winter. Unfortunately, hopping to a Florida marsh for the winter is not an option. Species such as leopard and chorus frogs that spend most of the warm months in the water, sink to the pond bottom. Here they sleep ( joined by their relatives, the salamanders), tucked a bit into the mud, their metabolism slowing waaay down. Luckily, their delicate skin absorbs just enough oxygen from the frigid water to keep them alive. Sound like fun? Makes the polar plunge sound like a piece of cake! However, its the woodland species, such as wood frogs and spring peepers, that take first prize for their hibernation skills. Spending

most of the summer in the moist leaf litter of the woods, these species remain there all winter, skipping the winter pond situation altogether. Basically, as soon as the first snow flies and touches their skin, it sets off a chain reaction. Blood sugar levels go sky high, creating a natural antifreeze effect. Ice crystals are prevented from forming inside the cells, keeping the frog safe from harm. Most organ function comes to a complete and utter halt. For months the frog does not breathe, nor does the heart beatat all. It sits under the snow in a sort of miraculous suspended animation until spring. If you were to dig under the snow and find one now, it would appear to be dead. A frozen frogsicle, the type of treat only a raccoon could only dream about (Ill stick to my chocolate peanut butter ice cream, thank you very much!). Once the snow melts and soils warm up enough, something happens to that little hockey puck of a frog. Scientists arent sure how, but the creature mysteriously comes back to life, and begins to thaw from the inside out. In an amazing process that can last about ten hours, organ function slooowly resumes, one breath and heart beat at a time. Once again, nature sure puts us to shame! Scientists have been working on cryogenics for years, but just cant figure it out. Its highly unlikely that Ted Williams, the famous Boston Red Sox player who was cryonically frozen in 2002, will ever be as fortunate as a lowly wood frog. Until next time, keep listening for the chickadees sweet spring song, but dont start putting the boots away just yet!

What part of illegal dont you understand?

To the Editor: When the Wabasha County Board passed a resolution to hire outside legal counsel to defend the Safe Driving Class, what were they thinking? What part of illegal didnt they understand? Not one dime of taxpayer money should be spent on this fee. The county attorney and the county sheriff put this diversion program together and tried to pass it off as legal year after year, thinking no one would ever take them to task. Well, someone did and the end has come to their program, and the taxpayer should not have to pay the legal costs for their folly. It should not come from the general fund, the attorney fund, or the sheriff fund...no taxpayer dollars period, should be spent paying this bill. This lawsuit did not seek monetary rewards and was paid for by private citizens. The sheriff had a chance to make the program legal and avoid the lawsuit but he didnt. Instead they spent money defending a program that the state auditors report said was illegal, quoting the law and statute that it was breaking? To spend taxpayer money defending a program you know is illegal is a crime itself. I believe the county attorney, county sheriff and the three commissioners who agreed to hire outside counsel should pay this bill. What say you? Its time to clean house in 2014.

Drazkowski was honored by right-wing cabal

To the Editor: I fear you have been duped into printing a release by the Legislative Evaluation Assembly as a news item rather than a political advertisement. This group, which deceptively asserts that it is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization, in reality is just another right-wing cabal. That they saw fit to honor Rep. Drazkowski as their poster boy of 2013 simply means that he is more radically to the right of the other Republican legislators they honored and, by implication, the core of the Minnesota Republican Party, which seems to be turning away from The Tea Party type extremists. I note that the Post-Bulletin and the Star Tribune editors werent as gullible and suggest that in the future you charge this groups releases at your political advertisement rate, and clearly identify it as such. Its more ethical too. David A. Rockne Zumbrota

Morgan Allen places in young farmers contest

SAN ANTONIO, TX On January 13, Morgan Allen of Kenyon finished in the Top 10 out of 28 in the Excellence in Agriculture contest at the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Young Farmers & Ranchers (YF&R) competitions at the AFBF annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas. Allen advanced to the national competition after winning the Excellence in Agriculture Contest at the MFBF YF&R Competition held in November. The contest is designed as an opportunity for young farmers and ranchers, who may not derive 100 percent of their income from farming, to earn recognition while actively contributing to the agriculture industry and building their leadership skills. Participants were judged on their involvement in agriculture, leadership ability, involvement and participation in Farm Bureau and other organizations. I am really honored to have made it to the top 10 and to have had the opportunity to showcase our involvement in production agriculture, agribusiness and Farm Bureau at the local, state and national level, said Allen. It has helped to organize my goals for the future and I would really encourage others to get involve. Allen is a dairy ruminant nutritionist for Big Gain Feeds. She and her husband Keith and their son own and run HayCreek Farms, a 40-goat milking herd. Milk from the goats is sold to their local micro-creamery where it is turned into artisan cheese and sold at farmers markets throughout the metro area.

Public Works Director Steve Haggstrom gave a summary of activities from the last month. He and co-worker Monty Schaefer spent many days working on the ice rink. They began looking at paint sprayers and prices for paint in preparation for street painting

Wanamingo refinances bonds at lower rates

By Alicia Hunt-Welch WANAMINGO Three large project general obligation refunding bonds had reached a date making them eligible for refinancing. The Wanamingo City Council took advantage of this opportunity by approving the sale of $1,085,000 and obtaining an average interest rate of about 2.54%. Financial advisor George Eilertson of Northland Securities attended the January 13 council meeting to inform the council that the sale of the bonds was placed in the market that day. As a result of the lower interest rate, the city is expected to see an overall savings of $925,745 over the life of the borrowing terms. The payback dates for those bonds will remain the same. Eilertson said that by refinancing the bonds, the city cut their interest rate by about 40%. In improving the citys financial stability over the last few years, the city was issued a better bond rating and was able to benefit from the lower interest rate
City debt report

CityAdministrator Michael Boulton presented a report outlining the citys remaining debt. As of December 31, 2013 the city owed $5,214,414 on general obligation, tax increment, revenue, and other various borrowing bonds. In total $1,333,900 was paid toward bond balances. The debt balance for the Wanamingo Economic Development Authority totaled $839,000 at the end of 2013. Boulton said the city has worked diligently in recent years to improve their fiscal condition. Eilertson agreed, saying Wanamingos financial situation has indeed improved.

A pair of Michelle Hadler free throws broke a 31-31 tie, and from there the Wildcats took over, outscoring the Panthers 20-2. A pair of Kalley Berg free throws were all the offense that Pine Island could muster for nearly 10 minutes of play. A Heeren three with 6:23 to play made the score 49-36. Goodhue was content to use the clock as their defense on their way to a 5541 win. Mikayla Miller led the way for Goodhue with 29 points. Shelby Hinsch added 14.

PIs hot shooting leads to a win over KW

By Faye Haugen PINE ISLAND Hitting 57% of their shots from the field, the Pine Island boys basketball team earned a 67-45 win at KenyonWanamingo on Friday. We played our best game since mid-December, stated PI coach Jim McNamara. We had a great all around team effort and all 12 players scored. Ben Bauer had a very good game at the point guard position, running the offense and scoring seven points. The Panthers took a 36-19 lead into the locker room and they outscored the Knights 31-26 in the second half. This was a tough one for our kids. After coming off a night with a cancelled game with WatervilleElysian-Morristown and no practice on Thursday, we were not ready to play which was frustrating after playing so good against Cannon Falls on Tuesday, pointed out KW coach Mat Schaefer. We played to a 17-17 tie in the first

half, and then Pine Island went on a 19-2 run to break the game open by the half. We have gone through many spurts like this one all season. We can go toe-to-toe at times; however, we fins a way to get in a rut and can never overcome it. We are getting open shots, but just not making them. I was proud of our effort, though, and a bright spot was only having nine turnovers in the game. Ben Warneke paced Pine Island with 13 points. Broc Finstuen and Luke Thornton each chipped in 11. Connor Sviggum scored a game-high 16 points to pace Kenyon-Wanamingo, but he was the only player in double figures.

Garrett Hein wins 2014 ZM Spelling Bee

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA ZumbrotaMazeppa sixth-grader Garrett Hein won the 2014 Spelling Bee. Sixteen representatives from grades 5-8 participated in the contest on January 13 at the Neuman Auditorium in Zumbrota. Hein will advance to the regional contest on February 11 at the Southeast Service Cooperative in Rochester. Runners-up were fifth grade students Mya Aiton, Soren Hellyer, and Katie Drenckhahn. Participants for the contest were chosen by holding spelling bees at each grade level with the top five and alternates identified. The following is the full list of contestants by grade (asterisks denote those participating in the bee January 13): Fifth grade: Landen Chandler*, Mya Aiton*, Emma Utley*, Soren Hellyer*, Katie Drenckhahn*; alternates Jack Smothers, Spencer Everly. Sixth grade: Kalli Olson,* Heidi Davis*, Naomi Downes*, Ben Roberts*, Garrett Hein*; alternate Ishvari Garcia.

After instructions and a practice round, the spelling rounds began, with each contestant taking their turns stepping to the center of the stage and microphone. The words proved particularly challenging for the contestants this year. When only four students remained, Hein correctly spelled moustache while Aiton, Hellyer, and Drenckhahn were unable to correctly spell the words they were given in the round.

Can Do Canines brings Tails to Tell Tour to southeast Minnesota

By Karen Snyder BYRON Can Do Canines is bringing its Tails to Tell Tour to southeastern Minnesota. The Twin Cities-based charity trains dogs to help individuals with disabilities, matches each canine to someone who needs an assistance dog, then gives the dog to that person. The Tails to Tell Tour will hold a presentation from 11 a.m. to noon, Saturday, January 25 at Leashes and Leads, 6214 14th St NW, Byron. Information will be given at the presentation about the dogs and their training and specialties. After completing their basic educations, the dogs enter canine college to major in one of five assistance dog disciplines: autism, diabetes, hearing, mobility, and seizures. Can Do Canines client Nancy Bauman of Rochester and her mobility assist poodle Nigel will be at the presentation. A puppy raiser may also be there, said Can Do Canines volunteer coordinator Laurie Carlson, who will be there, too. Puppy raisers are volunteers who take the dogs home and rear and train them until theyre ready for canine college. At 25 years old this year, Can

After the regional contest on February 11, the SE Minnesota Final will be held on February 25, also in Rochester. The Scripps National Spelling Bee takes place in Washington, D.C. in May. After the bee, Bradley was asked about the role of spelling in education today with the current level of computer use (with automated spell checking) and text messaging (acronym usage). Bradley said spelling is still addressed in the middle school classrooms. We feel that it is important for a wellrounded education, and to be a master of the English language is a vital skill. In addition, understanding how to spell, and spell well, assists with the ability to read well, which is the basis for all disciplines in education. Overall, the fun and satisfaction it brings. spelling is important for the suc- Pine Island senior Kelly Leibold earned second place at the Third Can Do Canines hopes to recruit cess of our students and is still District Legion Oratorical Contest on January 11 and is congratulated by District Commander Mark Dvorak. some puppy raisers in the area and emphasized in school. to start a puppy raiser group here.

This young Can Do Canine will be trained to assist people who have problems related to one of five areas: autism, diabetes, hearing, mobility, and seizures. Volunteers are needed for the program.

Do Canines operates with a small staff and lots of volunteers, and the nonprofits success depends on those volunteers. Information will be given at Tails to Tell on how you can help.

Some puppy raisers are inmates. Can Do Canines prison program includes the Federal Correctional Institution in Waseca and the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Faribault. Prison puppies get plenty of training their raisers have an abundance of time to devote but the vital visits to public places cant happen, at least not without furlough foster volunteers. Furlough foster folks pick up the prison pups and take them home for a few days. Three or four days being out of prison and out in public and exposed to public situations is crucial, Carlson said. Can Do Canines seeks volunteers to provide furloughs. For more information or to RSVP contact Laurie Carlson: 763-3313000 ext. 113 or [email protected].

Wanamingo EDA elects officers for 2014

By Alicia Hunt-Welch WANAMINGO At the January 13 Wanamingo Economic Development Authority meeting, Ryan Holmes, Danny Benson, Josh Sandberg, and Brian Johnson took the oath of office to renew their positions on the board. Following the oath, a motion was made by Brian Gudknecht to approve their reappointments to the board. As council representatives, Holmes and Bensons terms will be for one year. Terms for Gudknecht, Jim Kittelson, and Josh Schaefer run through 2015. Brian Johnson and Josh Sandbergs terms expire at the end of 2017. In the nomination of positions, a motion carried to re-elect Jim Kittelson as President, Brian Johnson as Vice President, and Danny Benson as Treasurer, and to appoint City Administrator Michael Boulton as Secretary. EDA meetings, if needed, will be held the same evening as city council meetings, usually the second Monday of the month. A minimum of four EDA meetings are required during a year as part of the bi-laws. Information for Goodhue County regarding Health Impact Assessment was provided to the board. The HIA meeting was held the same evening as the EDA meeting, so members were not able to attend. The purpose of the HIA is to provide knowledge regarding land use and policy planning decisions and how policy change can effect the health of a population. Funding for the HIA program was provided by a grant. Boulton presented a report outlining EDA bond indebtedness. At the end of 2013, the principal amount owned on bonds was down to $839,500. In total, $120,250 was paid off during 2013. Of the amount owed, $524,000 was owed for the Medical Facility building, and $315,500 was owed on a refunding and two other bonds. The board approved a resolution allowing Brian Groth first rights to purchase the vacant EDA lot west of Decker Power Equipment and the former Wright Coaches buildings. At the November 2013 EDA meeting, Groth inquired about possibly buying the lot. As of yet, no decision has been made. If another interested buyer comes forward, Groth has until August 1, 2014 to exercise his option to buy.

Attending high school in the U.S. was one of Jordanovs dreams

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA Living in and attending high school in the United States has definitely been one of my dreams, said Martin Jordanov of Kocani, Macedonia. With only a few days remaining in the first semester of his junior year at Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School, the soon-to-be 17-year-old is having his dream fulfilled. He will remain through the end of the 201314 school year. Through Ayusa (Academic Year in the U.S.A.), a cultural exchange program, Jordanov joined his host family just before the school year began. Hes been living with Patrick and Sara Adams and their sons Sam, a freshman, and Aaron, a junior. The rural Mazeppa family has hosted two other students in recent years. Jordanovs own family consists of his parents and a six-year-old brother. His father works for a company that publishes newspapers and magazines. His mother has a masters degree in teaching and currently works in a fashion boutique. Jordanovs extended family is also very important to him. A cousin, nearly the same age as he, is like a sister to me while her twelve-year-old brother is like a brother. He is very close with his grandparents, aunt, and uncle as well. Kocani is in the eastern part of the Republic of Macedonia and has an urban population of approximately 50,000. Jordanov describes Macedonia as a small, old country in the heart of the Balkans nations. Landlocked and bordered by Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, and Albania, the history of the area dates back to 400-500 B.C. Prior to his arrival in Minnesota, Jordanov was among ten from school and other activities with his host brother, Aaron. Although the Adams family does live several miles from school, he commented on the amount of driving people do in the United States: At home, we walk everywhere. Here, people drive, even to school when it is close by. One of the differences that Jordanov has enjoyed about attending ZMHS is the ability to select his own school subjects. During the last years of high school in Macedonia classes are structured toward a particular career or subject goal. He noted that there is more flexibility in choices of classes in the United States. He also appreciates that teachers are more friendly and helpful here. Jordanov has been considering careers in computer programming or engineering, but these are not definite plans. He will have one year of high school remaining when he returns to Macedonia, possibly less if he receives credit for classes completed at ZMHS. Jordanov has taken the opportunity to participate in several sports offered at ZM. In the fall, he was a member of the ZM/Pine Island soccer team. Although soccer (football) is very popular in Macedonia, Jordanov did not play with a team or club, only informally with his friends. This winter, he is playing basketball, a sport he has participated in since early elementary school. This spring, track and field will be a new experience for him. Jordanov doesnt know the exact date he will return to his home country with the other Macedonian students. He said, It has been a magnificent journey so far. It has definitely been a challenge, but I wouldnt change it.

Two ZM students attend Dorian Vocal Festival

DECORAH, IA The 64th annual Dorian Vocal Festival at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa was held January 12-13. Two Zumbrota-Mazeppa students attended, Ryan Bennett and Griffin Gartner. They were two out of approximately 1,150 who attended this festival. Students came from several different states including South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. The students rehearsed both Sunday and Monday on their mixed and male choral pieces with director, Allen Hightower. Hightower chose vocal pieces for the mixed choir which included Domine Fili Unigenite by Antonio Vivaldi, In the Night We Shall Go In by Imant Raminsh and Hell Make a Way by Byron J. Smith. Along with the three SATB pieces, the mens chorus sang Shout for Joy! arranged by Dan Davison and the womens chorus sang Two Strings, But One Voice by Z. Randall Stroope. The ZM students were able to attend a concert on Sunday evening in which the Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School and two freshmen Luther College choirs performed. On Monday night, the Festival Grand Concert was held, at which the Luther College Nordic Choir, five selected high school vocalists, the Festival Chamber Choir, and the High School Festival Choir performed.

City will take on additional roles with the Zumbrota Fire Board
Economic development report presented
By Tara Chapa ZUMBROTA The City of Zumbrota approved to take on the secretary and treasurer duties of the Zumbrota Fire Board at the city council meeting on January 16. At the last fire board meeting, Zumbrota volunteered to take on these duties which were normally the responsibilites of the fire chief. The duties will be transferred over February 1. In a memo from City Administrator Neil Jensen, he said the staff at city hall could handle the additional duties without any undue stress. In the past they had taken care of all the maintenance and utilities which amounts to 25% of the billing. The city can run this with their new system and run two checking accounts.
Economic development

Community Development Director Dan King gave an update on Zumbrota activity in 2013: Caseys North has expanded and been renovated. The project involved a 525 square foot expansion and complete interior renovation. The project allows additional food service options and is valued at $185,000. Zumbrota Ford is finishing up their expansion and renovation. This project involved an addition of 9,800 square feet and the demolition and renovation of 5,400 square feet. The project will allow further auto servicing and showroom space. It is valued at nearly $1.2 million. The Bridges of Zumbrota ex-

pansion has added approximately 32,200 square feet for renovation and improvement of existing facilities. Our Saviours Lutheran Church added 15,155 square feet at a cost of $1,200,000. The Zumbrota Economic Development Authority handed out one loan out of the revolving loan fund (RLF) to the ZumbrotaMazeppa School District in the amount of $200,000 for the vocational home building program. The fund had a year-end balance of $102,135.12 with $234,175.28 owed from outstanding loans. The following are outstanding loan balances: Zumbrota-Mazeppa owes $200,000, Eric Westlake/ Laundromat owes $4483.29, Marie Marvin/Crossings at Carnegie owes $5397.00, and Terry Driscoll from Custom Iron owes $24,290.50. The EDA continues to partner with the Southeastern Minnesota Multi-County Housing Redevelopment Authority (SEMMCHRA) to administer a comprehensive Small Cities Development Grant (SCDG) grant from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). The grant is used for residential and commercial rehabilitation. Zumbrota resident homeowners received a total of $126,747; business owners received a total of $162,297.

An architect has been hired to draft a site plan for the future development of a trailhead and welcome center. The city was awarded a $9,000 Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) landscaping partnership grant which is providing for improvements along Highway 58/Main Street.
Goodhue Pioneer Trail

Get the expert attention your car needs this winter as well as the friendly, professional service you deserve.

The city approved a resolution in support of the desired upcoming Goodhue Pioneer Trail project. Roxanne Bartsch, Goodhue County Pioneer Trail representative, has been working on this for the past five years. The signed resolution from City of Zumbrota to the state says that trails in Minnesota are part of the solution to the long-term health costs associated with the growing problem of obesity by providing opportunities for increased physical activity within local communities and trails will offer a transportation alternative and a safe route for people to walk or bike to work or school complementing other investments in roads, bridges and commuter routes. Lastly, the resolution states that the 2014 legislature will have the opportunity to invest in Minnesotas tourism economy while providing solutions to long-term health costs through biannual bonding.

Zumbrota film to be shot in March/April

Committee seeks additional funds
ZUMBROTA With just over $65,330 already collected for the film project, His Neighbor Phil is definitely a go for Zumbrota. A steering committee consisting of Pam Langley, Bob Hawley, Angie Gustafson, Paul and Judy Rockne, Judy Lang, Jan Fischer, Sue and Jim Wedge, and Ronda Sand met Tuesday, January 14, to discuss planning details for the film which will be shot in Zumbrota in March/April 2014. Although more than 75% of the local financing commitment is in the bank, an additional $19,671 is needed. Thus far 29 community members have contributed financially. Before actual production can begin, and to protect all parties involved, the Bank of Zumbrota needs to certify that $85,001 is on deposit for the project. Funds will be accepted at any time, but if you would like to contribute please contact someone on the committee by January 29. After that date the committee will meet again to discuss the next steps. Checks should be made payable to His Neighbor Phil LLC and mailed to HNP, PO Box 45, Zumbrota, MN 55992. As Scott Thompson puts the finishing touches on his script, he is asking for local input on things unique to Zumbrota for the film, such as landmarks, stories, local history, and remarkable people. Please send your ideas by January 31 to [email protected] or to HNP, PO Box 45, Zumbrota, MN 55992. These will be compiled and forwarded to Thompson. Another public meeting will be held with Thompson in late February to discuss further details. Casting choices should be fairly solid by then and the committee looks forward to the announcement of nationally known actors for the cast. In the meantime, the committee is also gathering information on other resources they have to offer, such as locations and volunteers. If you have an older home that could be used as a filming location, please contact Pam Langley or Ronda Sand. Volunteers will also be needed to provide housing, meals, transportation, and to work as personal assistants to the national cast members. His Neighbor Phil is a touching yet humorous story of a family dealing with Alzheimers disease. The State Theatre will play a key role and music is a central component. More information about Thompsons company My Town Pictures can be found at www. mytownpictures.com. The Facebook page for His Neighbor Phil has links to Scotts website and trailers for three of his feature films: A Place For Heroes, After Life and One Song.

that they could afford and started building in November of 1959, finishing the house the following spring. Jeanette then taught at Pine Island School full-time for two years and continued as a substitute teacher for another eight years. Dick had started a small tool and die shop during their time in Pine Island so Jan helped in the shop too. She could run the machine and deliver parts when done, so she was very versatile. While all this was going on she raised three children in her spare time! Jan enjoyed all sorts of crafts, especially when she could help. She was very good at figuring things out and motivating Dick when needed. She helped the grandchildren with their school projects involving crafts and was a patient teacher. She was a very gentle person who rarely got riled up over anything. Jan will be missed by all who knew her. Her memory will go on forever, or at least as long as Dick lives. She will be having a good conversation with her good friends Sue and Charlotte as well as with her parents and sister. We look forward to seeing her again. Jan is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Dick of Pine Island; son, Jon (Karen) Navratil of Annandale; daughters, Julie (fianc Britt Bjugan) Jobes of Zumbrota, and Mary (Patrick) Pike of Pine Island; sixteen grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; sister, Jennie Egaas of Seattle, Washington; brother, Ted (Janet) Thorson of Rochester; and many nieces and nephews. Jan was preceded in death by her sister, Eleanor Werness. Funeral service will be at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Pine Island with Reverends John Torris Lohre and Kip Groettum co-officiating. Visitation will be for one hour prior to the service at the church. Memorials are preferred to Saint Paul Lutheran Church.

DFL precinct caucuses set for February 4

The Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party will hold its precinct caucuses at February 4 at 7 p.m. Precinct caucuses are open to the public but in order to vote, offer resolutions or become a delegate, attendees must be eligible to vote in the next general election, live in the precinct and be in general agreement with the principles of the political party. DFL Chairman Ken Martin said precinct caucuses are a great way for people to meet their neighbors and discuss issues important in their communities and they serve as the unofficial start to the 2014 election season. DFLers have a lot to talk about as we get ready to re-elect Governor Dayton, Senator Franken, our congressional delegation, and a House DFL majority, Martin said. Gov. Dayton said he would build a better Minnesota, and with the support of DFL legislators and Minnesotans, thats what he has done. And despite Washington being far too paralyzed and dominated by special interests, Sen. Franken has been effective for Minnesota by finding common sense solutions to the issues that matter most to our families. I encourage DFLers to come together February 4 and talk about these accomplishments. For those new to the precinct caucus process, the Minnesota DFL has developed a video, What to Expect at a Precinct Caucus. It can be viewed on the partys website at www.dfl.org under Find Your District. The website also features a precinct caucus locator for people unsure of where their precinct caucus is held. All political parties in Minnesota hold caucuses in precincts across the state, at the same time, on the same night, for the same purpose.
