Fundraisers to be held
for Berg family and
community programs
By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA Event organizers are encouraging area residents to attend two fundraisers
to be held at the Stary-Yerka VFW
Post 5727 (25 East First Street)
in Zumbrota in the next few
weeks.
The first will be a pancake
breakfast on Sunday, February
15, hosted by Zumbrota American Legion Post 183, Mazeppa
American Legion Post 588,
Mazeppa Veterans Honor Guard,
and Zumbrota Stary-Yerka VFW
Post 5727. Proceeds will be donated to assist the family of
Lonnie Berg and towards veterans programs and various local
groups.
The second will be on February 28, with all proceeds going
toward the unexpected out-ofpocket expenses incurred as a
result of Bergs illness. The 61year-old Zumbrota man died
December 27, 2014.
Bergs battle with cancer
Berg had been going through

treatments since early 2014 for
a rare and difficult type of cancer bile duct cancer. Due to the
type of cancer, the options of
treatment were limited. Because
those options had been exhausted,
Berg chose to go out of state to
pursue alternative remedies. This
resulted in financial difficulty due
to travel, living and medical expenses not covered by insurance.
The treatment consisted of an
intensive three-week treatment
plan with follow-up to be determined by the results after the
three weeks. Due to additional
medical complications, Lonnie
became too ill to continue the
treatment and had to be flown
back to Minnesota by a medical
flight air ambulance on December 8, 2014. He returned to his
home from Rochester on December 16 and received hospice care
until his death.
As Zumbrota natives and longtime owners and operators of
Bergs Towing & Repair, both
Lonnie and his wife Gail have
many friends in the community.
Now friends and family of the
couple and their children Nicole
(Chad) Peterson of Zumbrota,
Corey (Jen) Berg of Goodhue, and
Chelsey (Brandon) Sather of Pine
Island want to help with the remaining expenses and have organized fundraisers.
Pancake breakfast
The pancake breakfast on Sunday, February 15, will be from 8

a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Pancakes, eggs,
sausage, milk, orange juice and
coffee will be served.
Zumbrota VFW Commander
Frank Aunan said that in addition
to money raised going to the Berg
family, part of the proceeds will
also go toward veterans programs
and to support local youth and
senior activities. Examples include
Zumbrota-Mazeppa academic, art
and athletic programs, ZM American Legion baseball, and Boy and
Girl Scouts. Members of the baseball team, scouts and parents will
be assisting the organizing groups
throughout the event with serving
and cleanup.
Also on hand will be some of
the committee members in charge
of the February 28 benefit. They
will be offering kids activities such
as face painting, temporary tattooing, and hairstyling. T-shirts
and can coolies will be available
for sale, and some items that will
be offered at the auctions February 28 can be previewed.
February 28 benefit
A wide variety of activities are

planned to take place beginning
at noon on Saturday, February 28,

and continuing until midnight
during the benefit in memory of
Berg.
A bean bag tourney starts at 1
p.m. with sign-up beginning at
noon. A silent auction also begins at noon with bidding continuing until 6 p.m. Many items
have been generously donated by
area businesses and individuals.
The live auction will begin at 7
p.m. Several unique outings and
activities are already on the list.
A few examples include a twonight stay at Coulee Cabins in
western Wisconsin; a guided fishing trip on the Mississippi River;
and a golf outing at Mississippi
National Golf Links in Red Wing.
Additional items for either the
silent or live auction can be donated by contacting Randi
Wichman at 507-269-9234 or Kari
Lowrie at 507-254-9674.
Food will be available beginning at 1 p.m. Cost is a free will
donation. Thrivent Financial provided $250 toward food expenses.
DJ Corey Peterson will be on
hand from 1 to 6 p.m. with JT and
the Gunslingers providing the
music beginning at 8 p.m.
Winter Fest was January 31

By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND The second
annual Pine Island Winter Fest, a
fun and educational outdoor event
open to all ages, was held January
31.
Eagle Bluff Environmental
Learning Center hosted a winter
survival class that was attended
by about 35 people. The class centered on an imaginary survival situation to help develop wilderness
skills and understand the need for
teamwork and a positive mental
attitude for survival.
The Chamber of Commerce at
Twin Cities Rod & Custom held a
winter cookout, Art SCREAM had
snow painting, and the Pine Area
People for the Arts hosted storyteller Katie Knutson. A free family movie, popcorn, and beverages
and bake sale hosted by Pine Island Area Home Services and the
Pine Island Senior Citizens was
held at the Senior Center. Community Ed held an open skate and
pizza party at the skating rink, and
the Image Committee had a chili
feed and bonfire at the PI Golf
Course.
At dusk, walking trails were
glowing with luminaries set up by
high school instructor Megan
Schimek and her Roots and Shoots
group, which also organized the
winter survival class. Schimek said
a lack of snow this year prompted
a few modifications in the Winter
Fest activities, but she considered
the event a success. She said next
year, We just hope to have more
snow so we can offer cross country skiing and snowshoeing.
Storyteller Katie Knutson speaks at the Pine Island History Center. She
also presented at Better Brew Coffeehouse and the Senior Center.
Now it is our turn
More than a dozen volunteers

worked on the committee to coordinate the activities for the February 28 benefit. Speaking on behalf of the group, Cindy Sand
summed up their mission for organizing the event in memory of
Berg: The Bergs would not hesitate to help someone in need. Now
it is our turn to return their generosity and kindness. No one needs
to fight cancer alone or suffer financially because of it. Our goal
is to help Lonnies family not have
those worries. And, they are just
nice people.
If you are unable to attend the
benefit, donations can be sent to
Bank of Zumbrota, 1440 S. Main
St., Zumbrota, MN 55992. Checks
should be made payable to the
Lonnie Berg Benefit Account.
Another committee, organized in
December, has applied for matching funds from Thrivent Financial.

GOODHUE WOMENS VOLLEYBALL

What? Commissioner favoritism?
By Ed Stern
Volleyball Commissioner
GOODHUE First of all, let
me explain. I was not at volleyball on Wednesday. I went to
Northfield to watch womens
basketball and Mikayla Miller
whip Carleton.
Sub-commissioner and committee vice chairman, Mike Kurtti
was at volleyball. I have already
heard several complaints, (mostly
petty jealousy, I might add) about
this weeks choice for Woman
of the Week. I am in the process

of reviewing the game tapes to
see if the details are correct. If
they are, as I assume they will
be, everything will stand as chosen.
That being said, I can let you
know that Melody Bass is this
weeks Woman of the Week. She
single-handedly beat on Stacys
and MisFits (with help from her
teammates). Her 41 set assists,
62 digs, and 13 ace dives prevented both teams from scoring,

ZM plays their best half of the season

By Faye Haugen
ZUMBROTA The ZumbrotaMazeppa boys basketball team
played their best 18 minuts of the
season against Hayfield on their
home court, Thursday. The Cougars shot the ball well, took care
of the ball and played good defense to trail the red-hot Vikings
just 42-38 at the break.
But Hayfield went on a scoring
binge in the second half to open
up a 20-point lead, and ZumbrotaMazeppa failed to play as well in
the second half of play. The Cougars did rally to make it a 10-point
game at the end, 81-71, but the
25-point hole they dug early in
the second half was too big to crawl
out of.
For the first time this season
four Cougar players scored in
double figures. Senior Jacob Forrey hit five treys on his way to
scoring 22 points. Nathan Debner
netted 12, Isaiah Stueber 11, and
Noah Erickson came off the bench
to score 10.
ZM will close out regular season play on Friday when they host
Triton. The West Section 1AA
playoffs will begin on Tuesday,
February 17 at the higher seed.

play football at Southwest State

Kennedy Mueller are shocked when the Cougars are announced as the Section 1A high kick championship
team in Eyota, Saturday.
By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND On Wednesday, February 4, Pine Island High
School senior Luke Thornton
signed his national letter of intent to play football for Southwest State University, a Division
II football program in Marshall,
and accepted their scholarship
offer. Thornton is the son of
Wendy and Greg Engstler and
Mark and Kelly Thornton.
Thronton will be an offensive
tackle for the Mustangs starting
in the fall of 2015. Panther football coach John Stapleton was
instrumental in showcasing
Thorntons skills and guiding him
through the process. Thornton

also made sure he studied approved courses and maintains a
qualifying grade point average.
National Signing Day, usually
the first Wednesday of February, is the first day that a high
school senior can sign a binding
national letter of intent for college football with a school that
is a member of the NCAA.
The Pine Island sneior was
an offensive tackle and defensive lineman during the football
season. Thronton was named
HVL all conference and the Panthers Lineman of the Year.
Recently, The Pine Island
Activities Department announced

that Thornton was named the
Athlete of the Week for February 2-7. A two-year captain
on the basketball team, last week
the 66 center scored 11 points,
and added four rebounds and four
assists in a 72-71 win over Hayfield. He followed that up with
a perfect 4 for 4 shooting night
and five rebounds in a dominating win over Triton to give the
team a 7-7 mark in the Hiawatha
Valley Conference and 11-11
overall. He is averaging nearly
9 points and just fewer than 7
rebounds per game.
ZM jazz and high kick dance

teams win Section 1A titles
By Faye Haugen
EYOTA The Section 1A dance
meet has always been competitive, but maybe even more so this
year.
Fifteen teams gathered in Eyota
on Saturday to decide what teams
would advance to the State Class
A jazz meet on Friday and high
kick on Saturday. The high kick
title came down to a margin of a
half a point between the top five
teams in the meet. Only four advance to Minneapolis.
Wabasha-Kellogg and DoverEyota tied for third place and St.
Charles placed second. The Zumbrota-Mazeppa high kick team
looked to be in tears as they didnt
think they were going to advance,
but those grimaces turned into
smiles and yells when the Cougars claimed the gold medal for
the first time in school history.
ZM advanced to state in high kick
in 2013.
Our kick team has continued
to improve in its cleanliness and
strictness. We have also worked
really hard to make sure that we
have worked out our endurance
and our kick height, said Coach
Jen Stumm. I know that we had
out best kick performance to date,
but knowing that we have a very
competitive kick section , we were
hoping for State, but I wasnt expecting first place.
At the beginning of the season, I would have never guessed
that we would win sections on both
jazz and kick. W have all worked
extremely hard, especially these
past two weeks. I couldnt be more
proud of my team. We danced our
hardest and left it all on the floor,
said ZM senior Olivia Gadient.
They had already called second
and third place so we knew we
either had over-exceeded our expectations or just missed out
chance. I am so excited to travel
to State with my team this weekend.
Being first in both jazz and
kick was an amazing feeling. We
have come a long way this season, remarked senior Kennedy
Mueller.
For many of the 20 girls on the
team, the state meet will be a new
experience. Ten of the 20 girls
have never been to State before,
pointed out Coach Stumm.
Members of the Cougar high
kick team are seniors: Emma Gunhus, Kennedy Mueller, Maddie
Lindhart and Olivia Gadient; juniors: Breana Haag, Calley Gunhus, Grace Myran, Katie Grudem,
Rachel Tschann and Sophie Holm;
sophomores: Amanda Edstrom,
Bethany Renken and Katie Lawler;
freshmen: Corie Deraas, Maddie
Lawler and Nikki Bryant; and
eighth-graders: Halle Kruse and
Myfanwy Postians.
Goodhue high kick
With higher numbers and a polished new program, the Goodhue
high kick team had high hopes of
placing high enough to advance
to the state meet this season. It
was not to be as the Wildcats placed
eighth out of the 15 teams.
Although we were hoping for
a higher placement, I could not be
happier with my team and their
performance, said Coach Jessica
Ferguson. Their hard work, dedi-

PINE ISLAND The Pine Island gymnastics team closed out
the regular season with a 126.25125.72 win over Caledonia/Spring
Grove in Pine Island, Friday. The
Panthers will now prepare for the
Section 1A meet that will be held
on Saturday at Austin beginning
at noon.
Our last home meet was a
good one. Vault went well tonight as both Cora Heidan and
Rachel Schutz just missed a season best score. Brittney Arndt
and Brynn Olson had falls, but
still scored well, remarked coach
Chris Templeton. Bars was a
bit of a struggle tonight. We have
good skills, but the form needs
to be better as we had too many
bent arms and legs that are hurting our score. Beam is all about
the falls . Tonight the first three
girls had two falls each, and this
cost us over two points toward
the team score. We need to eliminate the falls if we want to score
over 130. Megan Leland had a
great beam routine tonight, scoring a personal best 8.425. Brynn
also had a nice no fall routine.
We really hit floor well tonight
as Robin, Brittney and Brynn all
scored personal bests in the event.
The team score of 34.425 was
also a season high. If we can hit
all four events, this team will
score well.
Olson led the Panthers by placing first in vault, beam, floor and
all around and third on the bars.
Arndt placed second on the floor;
Leland was second on the beam;
and Schutz was third in the vault.
Friday we also honored our
senior Kendra Euler. Kendra has
been in our program for the last
four years and she has been a
great leader on this young team.
She had a great last meet, scoring personal bests on vault, floor
and all around. She will be missed
next year, pointed out Coach
Templeton.
Austin is the defending Section 1A champion and is a strong

Lakeville stops DC girls season
By Faye Haugen
LAKEVILLE The Dodge
County girls hockey team has had
some very good teams over the
past several years, but every season has been stopped by a Lakeville
team in the Section 1AA tournament.
That was the case again this week
when top-seeded Lakeville North
handed the Wildcats a 7-2 season
ending loss in Lakeville on Saturday in the Section 1AA semifinals. DC did open tournament play
by shutting out Farmington.
The Wildcats end the season with
a 19-7-1 record. They will graduate six seniors in Dana Rasmussen, Brede Postier, Jacie Hoehn,
Brieanna Westrom, Brianna Knutson and Morgan Michaletz.
Farmington
The Wildcats earned a 6-0 win
in Kasson on Wednesday in the
tournament opener.
DC had a huge 45-16 shot advantage on the Tigers, with Gabby
Suhr making 16 stops for the Wildcats in goal.
Dana Rasmussen scored what
proved to be the game winner in
the opening period off assists by
Jacie Hoehn and Katie Robinson
on a power play.
The Wildcats added three more
goals in the second period. Rassmussen scored on a shorthanded
goal off assists by Bella Wagner

and Robinson; Robinson scored
on a power play off assists by
Wagner and Rasmussen; and
Hoehn scored off an assist by Rasmussen.
Brede Postier scored off an assist by Molly Shelton in the third
period and Shelton scored the final goal off assists by Hoehn and
Rasmussen.

Screaming for leadership

Write Here
Right Now
By Bob Schmidt
Remember back in January when

the office of the French satirical
magazine Charlie Hebdo was attacked by fanatical Islamists, and
many in the rest of the world
adopted the slogan Je suis
Charlie, or I am Charlie in a
show of solidarity for the slain
journalists? Several days later,
there was a demonstration consisting of well over one million
people in Paris, with a unity march
including 44 heads of state, to reinforce to the world that France
was not standing alone in its fight
against Islamic terrorism. Certainly
you remember the uproar that ensued because the United States did
not participate, at least not with
any meaningful representation.
There were many excuses given
for President Obamas non-participation: scheduling issues, security issues, and so on. There
were also many columnists who
criticized the White House for not
attending, again with a variety of
reasons given.
Byron York, writing in the
Washington Examiner on January 12, postulates that the snub
was not an oversight, but in fact it
was done to reinforce Obamas
publicly-held worldview, which
contains, among others, the following elements:
In the Obama worldview, we
are not in a war with radical Is-
lam. We do not acknowledge the

terms Islamic jihadists or Islamic terrorists. We do not even
acknowledge that ISIS (Islamic
State of Iraq and Syria) is Islamic.
In the Obama worldview, the
war on terror has largely ended.
Recall these quotes within the past
two years:
The analogy we use around [the
White House] sometimes, and I
think is accurate, is if a JV team
puts on Lakers uniforms, that
doesnt make them Kobe Bryant,
referring to ISIS.
Today, the core of al Qaeda in
Afghanistan and Pakistan is on a
path to defeat.... Their remaining
operatives spend more time thinking about their own safety than
plotting against us.
York summarizes the Obama
position thus: So when the president chose not to attend the Paris
march, nor to send the Vice President or Secretary of State, the problem wasnt a tin-ear sense of public relations. It was Obamas actual attitude toward the terror threat
facing not only Europe but the
United States. Weve dealt with
the big stuff, Obama has declared,
now lets move on.
I agree with York, but I also
think there is more to it. President
Obama is uncomfortable with leadership real leadership, that is.
World leadership. Hes happy attacking Republicans on political
grounds, but he retreats when
worldwide leadership vacuums
emerge. Obama believes that
Americas historical world leadership is the root cause behind terrorist actions. Thats why he
chooses to lead from behind.
Thats why he stood mute when

the Iranian moderates tried to resist the Ayatollahs. Thats why he
stupidly nodded support for the
Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. And
now, thats why he wont get off
the dime and show real leadership
for the tiny coalition fighting ISIS.
The battle against ISIS is screaming for a leader. King Abdullah II
of Jordan was in Washington meeting with our president when the
horrifying video of the Jordanian
pilot being burned alive was released. The comparative reactions
of the two leaders is telling.
First, Obama (paraphrased):
This is just one more indication
of the viciousness and barbarity
of this organization [ISIS]. It will
serve to redouble the vigilance and
determination of the coalition to
ensure that they are degraded and
ultimately defeated.
Later, King Abdullah met with
Congress, and is purported to have
quoted Clint Eastwood in
Unforgiven: Any man I see out
there, Im gonna kill him. Any
[SOB] takes a shot at me, Im not
only going to kill him, Im going
to kill his wife and all his friends
and burn his d... house down.
If thats a little too crude for
you, theres another famous leader
who made this statement: ...we
shall fight on the beaches, we shall
fight on the landing grounds, we
shall fight in the fields and in the
streets, we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender....
You judge for yourself which
type of leader you prefer. I know
where I stand.
God bless America!
ZIP Rail confusion

From
Devils
Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher
Im confused! Of course, as a
73-year-old, I am easily confused!
Here is what I understand and know
about the Zip Rail.
An effort to build a high-speed
rail between Rochester and St Paul
is in the planning stage. The track
and train will be covered to avoid
railroad crossings. We have taken
out so many trains that people are
no longer used to rail crossings
and will try to cross the tracks
because they dont see the train.
The Zip Rail will be traveling at
close to 150 miles per hour. The
train will go 2.5 miles in one minute.
The engine weighs ten tons (20,000
pounds) or more. Its momentum
will destroy anything on the tracks
and not even slow the train down.
It is a case of even if you cant
see it, it is there! Thus, for various safety reasons the track and
train will be covered. No railroad
crossings will be built. Either the
cross road will be a bridge over
the track or the track will go completely under the road. Another
safety reason is terrorist attacks.
An open track is accessible. A
completely covered track with
entry points only at the stations is

one way to secure the track.
Two routes have been defined.
The people and towns along both
routes dont want the train through
their town, especially if the train
isnt going to stop in their town.
This is also known as the not in
my backyard position. We have
several groups who are against the
ZIP Rail because they will not be
able to easily use it. These groups
have the ears and attention of their
state legislatures.
Now here is where I get confused. Why is only one track being planned? Why not plan two
tracks? One is the high-speed Zip
Rail between Rochester and St.
Paul and the other is a local train
that runs the planned route but
stops at every town that wants a
station for it. This second train
wouldnt be as quick as the Zip
Rail but would run nearly as fast.
We dont need a Zip Rail
To the Editor:
I dont know about you, but I
am tired of people saying you cant
do anything about it so why care?
Good thing the pioneers of this
country didnt have that attitude.
We dont need a Zip Rail from
Rochester to the Twin Cities. The
small towns are having a hard time
now. You couldnt cross that rail
so rural people would have a long
trip to work if you were on the
wrong side of the track.
What about school buses and
fire trucks? I could go on.

high-speed train just not as fast. (I
just watched the YouTube called
Tesla Insane. The car goes zero
to sixty in 3.2 seconds and is totally electric with two high torque
motors. Grab a seat and hold on!)
While two tracks would cost
more than one, and two or more
trains more than one, paying for
the right-of-way may be the big
savings for expanding the project
to two tracks. At least the economic reasons could be met. I
havent heard anyone propose this
solution. It makes sense to me
and hopefully, sense to you. Until
next week.
There are many medical centers

just as good or better. The people
who live in the Twin Cities can
move to the Rochester area. If they
are going to have 3,000 more people
living there in twenty years, I say
they better. Look what is happening to IBM.
So the governor wants to raise
taxes to give Mayo more money
for education, then they move to
other countries. Not enough goodpaying jobs here. Doesnt make
sense to me. Seems like a bunch
of sheep following the wrong
leader.

Rochester farmer directs

donation to Pine Island FFA
PINE ISLAND Mike Thompson, a Rochester farmer, directed
a donation of $2,500 to Pine Island FFA on January 28. Thompson received this opportunity because of a Monsanto Company
drawing held after a recent business seminar. As an FFA member
in high school, Thompson recalls
fighting to keep the agriculture
education program alive. When
the opportunity arose, he was glad
to be able to support a program
that would encourage the next
generation of farmers in his community.
Through FFA, many kids are
getting an experience theyve never
seen, said Thompson. Theyre
Midwest Dental employees, from left to right, Mary Birmingham, Megan Underhill, Laura Severson (kneeling), learning where their food is com-
ing from and how its produced.

Its an eye-opener for kids who
are interested in farming, and hopefully it will spark an interest in
those who arent.
Asgrow and DEKALB recently
partnered with Farm Journal Media to present Game On: Strategies to Manage Costs in Tough
Markets, a seminar in Rochester. Attendees learned practical
agronomic and financial management solutions from expert speakers to help improve profitability
on their farms, particularly during challenging economic environments. At the seminar, Thompson was selected as the drawing
winner and was awarded the opportunity to direct a $2,500 dona-
tion to a local non-profit organization of his choice.

Monsanto collaborates with
farmers, researchers, nonprofit
organizations and universities to
help tackle some of the worlds
challenges. This donation is one
of the many ways Monsanto demonstrates a commitment to strengthening communities where farmers live and work. The company
advocates on behalf of farmers and
their efforts to nourish a growing
world. Monsanto has established
a new website, discover.monsanto.
com, which is a place where people
can get information from Monsanto
and ask questions about agriculture and how food is grown. Learn
more at discover.monsanto.com.

Free dental care provided

on Give Kids a Smile Day
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA Midwest Dental on Main Street in Zumbrota
hosted Give Kids a Smile Day
on Friday, February 6, from 8 a.m.
to noon. They saw about twenty
kids before 10 a.m.
The American Dental Association began Give Kids a Smile program in 2003 as a way for dentists
to join with others in the community to provide dental services to
underserved children. The program
initially began as a one-day event
in February, but has since grown
to local and national events yearround. Dentists and other team
members volunteer their time and

services to provide screenings,
treatments, and education to children throughout the United States.
Each year, approximately 350,000
children benefit from more than
1,500 events, all because of the
efforts of 40,000 or more annual
volunteers.
In 2014, fifty-six Midwest Dental, Mountain Dental, and Merit
Dental offices participated nationwide. This included 74 dentists
and more than 260 team members
from those practices. More than
$210,000 was donated in dental
services for the roughly 630 chil-
dren served last year.

It is important for kids to learn
the importance of brushing and
basic care of their teeth, said Dr.
Andy Christensen of Midwest
Dental in Zumbrota. The big thing
is to also watch what they are snacking on, especially limit sugary foods
and drinks.
The Minnesota Dental Foundation estimated that during
Minnesotas Give Kids a Smile
event, February 6-7, more than
5,000 children, including some
college students, were helped by
Mike Thompson of Rochester directed a donation of $2,500 from Monsanto to the Pine Island FFA on

Comprehensive and Strategic Plan

Steering Committee is chosen
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA The Zumbrota
City Council formed the 2015
Comprehensive and Strategic Plan
Steering Committee at its February 5 meeting.
Zumbrota-Mazeppa
High
School Principal Jeff Nolte is soliciting a student representative
for the committee. The council
should have a suggested sophomore or junior student volunteer
soon. At this time the city council
seat(s) are open. It was suggested
that the entire city council and
mayor be encouraged to participate on the committee. The city
will then need to post a notice of
the meetings to comply with open
meeting laws if three or more council members agree to participate.
The first Steering Committee
meeting will be held before the
next city council meeting on Thursday, February 26, at 6 p.m. A citizen survey will be reviewed and
refined at this time, with the expectation of sending it out shortly
afterward. An open house would
then be scheduled to go over the
survey results and begin the process in earnest.
The proposed list of representatives on the 2015 Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Steering
Committee was as follows:

City Council mayor and council members
Planning Commission Todd

PINE ISLAND Pine Island
High School welcomes student
teacher Trevor Green of Rochester to the Spanish department.
Green started on February 2 and
will be assisting with classes
through the end of March. He is
excited to meet the students and
observe the lesson plans.
The new method of teaching
Spanish at Pine Island School was
very intriguing to Green, and he
wanted to see how it works. PIHS
uses Total Physical Response
(TPR), a comprehensible input
method of teaching Spanish to students whereby they speak and tell
stories in Spanish during the entire period. They communicate with
each other and their instructor in
Spanish just as they would in everyday life using English. Students
learn the language easier because
they are using the words daily to
communicate, not just studying

Green is originally from Hampton, Iowa. It was during his high
school years that he became interested in the Spanish language. After
graduating, he went to Mexico for
a week and developed a greater
interest. Green graduated from
Luther College in May of 2014
with a major in Spanish. He then
worked from May to August, and
then studied in Guatemala through
the end of November. He is currently student teaching to fulfill
the last requirement in an education minor. After this spring, Green
will have a teaching license and is
hoping to find a job for the 201516 school year.

This week the Belvidere HappyGo-Luckies 4-H Club is recognizing Anna Kohlnhofer, Simon
Mehrkens, and Megan Ryan.
Kohlnhofer is a nine-year member of the Happy-Go-Luckies. She
is 15 and a sophomore at Goodhue
High School. She exhibits photography, swine, and horses at the
Goodhue County Fair each August. As a 4-Her she says that
shes learned to keep trying no
matter what and never give up. A
favorite memory for Kohlhofer,
is the time when she was washing
one of her pigs at the fair and it got
out of the wash pen and wandered
around the fairgrounds. Kohlhofer
says that 4-H offers lots of opportunities and experience for learning and leadership. In the club,
Kohlhofer has served as historian
and treasurer and currently is a
Cloverbud Helper. Outside of 4H, her activities include TNT,
FCCLA, student council, volleyball, and dance.
Mehrkens, 11, is a sixth-grader
at Bluffview Elementary in Lake
City and is a second-year 4-H
member. So far, Mehrkens says
that 4-H has helped him learn to
work as a team. He really enjoyed
his first year exhibiting at the county
fair where he showed dairy cattle.
This year hes also planning to
show pigs. Mehrkens says that 4H teaches and encourages particiwatching my nephew.

Floats for Goats
GOODHUE The Goodhue
School family life class is raising
money for the We Create Change
organization with a project called
Floats for Goats. This organization helps raise funds for families living in poverty. The funds
will be used to buy goats for these
families. On February 20 the students will be selling root beer floats
during the lunch hours.
Every $50 raised gives a goat to
a family overseas that is struggling to thrive. By donating a goat
we help this family not only have
a source of milk, but they also can
start their own herd and sell and
make more money for their family to thrive and survive.
To make this more appealing to
the students, when they buy a float
they get to choose the teacher who
will receive one dollar. After all
floats are sold, they will count up
Every $50 raised by root beer float

the money in the jars. The teacher

who has the most money will have
to kiss a goat. They are also making sure that the elementary gets
to put their best effort forward, as
well. They will be competing between classrooms. The grade that
collects the most change will win
a root beer float party.

KENYON Taylor Meeks and
McKenna Weyandt, both members of the Kenyon-Wanamingo
High School band, were selected
to participate in an Honors Band
event at Minnesota State University Mankato on January 30.
Meeks plays percussion and saxo-
phone. Weyandt plays clarinet.

Meeks, Weyandt and other high
school musicians worked with the
universitys conductors Amy
Roisum-Foley and Michael
Thursby, in addition to other applied faculty at the university. Students around the state gathered
for four hours of rehearsal on Janu-
ary 30 and then performed in concert at the end of the day.

Meeks and Weyandt were also
selected to represent KW and to
participate in the HVL Honors
Band. KWHS director of bands
Claire Larson said both of these
gifted musicians have expressed
an interest in pursuing music after
graduation.
The Copper Street Brass Quintet

to perform at KW School
KENYON A group of professional musicians, The Copper
Street Brass Quintet, will work
with Kenyon-Wanamingo band
students on February 12. Through
engaging classroom programs,
original and unique musical arrangements, and innovative concerts, The quintet is dedicated to
music education and inspiring
young musicians. A grant through
the Southeastern Minnesota Arts
Council is making this educational
residency program possible.
KW Band Director Claire Larson also arranged for The Copper
Street Brass Quintet to work with
KW students back in 2013. Since
then she has also heard them perform in other concert events. She
said, These guys are incredible!
The quintet will work with high
school musicians for about one
hour that morning. Larson said
the up-close and personal session
will focus on ensemble playing
and leadership within an instru-
ment section, in addition to techniques. After lunch the pros will

conduct a session with the fifth
and sixth grade band in the school
auditorium. Then at 2:30 p.m. the
student body will be invited in for
a performance by The Copper
Street Brass Quintet. Anyone in
the Kenyon and Wanamingo communities interested in attending
the afternoon performance is welcome to do so. Enter through the
main high school doors to the auditorium.
The Minneapolis-based group
was formed in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, in 2007. Since then they
have evolved from the average
quintet. The Copper Street Brass
Quintet is committed to sharing a
love for music and tools for lifelong musicianship with young
people. By offering residency programs, the group works closely
with all ages of music students in
an effort to create a long-lasting
impact.
Founding member Allison Hall
(trumpet, drums) grew up in Wisconsin and attended St. Olaf College in Northfield and the University of New Mexico. Corbin Dillion
(percussion, trumpet), also a founding member, is from Houston,
Texas, and attended the University of Texas Austin and the
University of New Mexico. Timothy Bradley (horn, keyboard, and
guitar) is from Kansas and attended
St. Olaf and Southern Methodist
University in Texas. Alex Wolff
(trombone, drums) joined the group
in 2009 and is from Mandan, North
Dakota, and attended the University of Minnesota. Nick Adragna
(tuba) joined the group in 2011,
and he grew up in Texas and Michigan and attended college at the
Oakland University and the University of New Mexico.
The quintets members are in
demand across the country and
they have performed throughout
the world. For more information
