Will a feature film be shot in Zumbrota?

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA Approximately 30 people attended a ninety-minute presentation at the State Theatre Thursday evening, September 5 to learn about the possibility of Zumbrota being the setting for a feature length film. Scott Thompson, a writer, director, and producer for My Town Pictures, gave an overview of his work and his company and how individuals or groups could invest in his next project to be filmed this fall. An additional four projects are also planned for 2014. The initial feasibility meeting ended with a discussion by those in attendance and plans for another meeting on September 12.
My Town Pictures

Thompson, of Mondovi, Wisconsin, has been making feature films in the midwest since 1999. In 2004, he started My Town Pictures, a production company fo-

cused on making films in small communities. Thompson adjusts the script to fit the specific community where the film is done, incorporating local history, landmarks, and people as components of the story. In 2010, My Town Pictures began adding a professional crew and well-known actors from film and television in producing the feature-length films. The professional actors and crew work with the local community members who also act and perform in the film. By partnering with the local community, production costs are diminished substantially compared to Hollywood productions. Thompson cited several examples of communities working with known stars from the companys productions in Iowa in the past two years. To meet production costs, host community investors are asked to split the cost of the initial budget,

plus one dollar. When the limited liability company (LLC) is established, the host community then has the majority ownership of the film. The next film, Our Song, has an initial budget of $190,000. See the My Town website for the movie trailers of three completed projects (including one on Netflix) and descriptions of three upcoming projects: http:// mytownpictures.com/
Our Song

The next project planned by the company is Our Song, scheduled to start filming at the end of October and completed close to Thanksgiving. Thompson explained, We move fast. We schedule the actors only a few months ahead. The websites description of the film is, A woman in her 70s finds the courage to break free of emotional abuse at home after re-discovering her passion for music.

An emotional, funny, important story starring Oscar-nominee Sally Kellerman (MASH) and many familiar faces, including four-time Emmy Award winner Michael Learned. Thompson noted that four Minnesota towns including Zumbrota are being considered for the project, each having their own strengths to offer the film. The other sites that have either held or are planning to hold feasibility meetings soon are Red Wing, Excelsior, and Maple Lake. Towns such as Zumbrota and Red Wing are appealing due to their historic theatres for some of the scenes.
Discussion

motion the community receives from being prominently displayed throughout the film. A suggestion was made that once investors received their initial ROI, profits could go toward the State Theatre renovation project. Thompson also described a current applicable tax relief available for investors. How some local places of interest could be incorporated into the film were also discussed. A handout with more details on the production and investment of Our Song was available at the session.
Next steps

The public is encouraged to at-

tend a follow-up feasibility meeting, scheduled for Thursday, September 12 at 6 p.m. at the State Theatre. The purpose of the meeting is to continue to explore whether or not there are sufficient investors of time, resources, and talent to make such a project happen in Zumbrota. In addition, discussion to identify how such a project would assist with other community progress and promotion will be held. Questions can be addressed to State Theatre Director Ronda Anderson-Sand at 507-272-1129 or statetheatre@zaac.org.

Time was spent discussing the marketing and distribution of the independent films produced by the company. Besides the potential return on investment (ROI) due to distribution and sale of the film, Thompson pointed out the pro-

Meet the new teachers at KW School

By Alicia Hunt-Welch WANAMINGO Four new teachers were hired at KenyonWanamingo School this summer. Lisa Nelson, Dylon Starr, and Megan Samuelson were hired in July, and John Medcraft was hired just a week before the start of the school year.
Lisa Nelson

Lisa Nelson was hired to teach business education, keyboarding, and social studies at the middle/ high school. Born in Huron, South Dakota, she grew up in Moab, Utah, an area bordering Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. She said, I spent my time biking, hiking, and camping on the Colorado River until I moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, as a senior in high school. I graduated from Lincoln High School in a senior class of just under 500 students. As a high school student, she was on the swim team, played basketball and volleyball, and played cello in the orchestra. Even as a child, she always wanted to be a teacher, playing school at her grandmothers house with neighborhood friends. She said, When I went to college I majored in business and spent several years in the business world but knew that my heart was in teaching like my mother, grandmother, and sister. So I returned to college to complete my teaching license and realize my dream. Nelson received her bachelor of science in business administration from Minnesota State University Mankato and obtained her business education licensure from Winona State University. She completed her student teaching at Farmington High School and Montgomery-Lonsdale Middle School. Last school year, she taught grades 5-6 business education and technology classes at Jordan Middle School in Jordan. She is currently working to complete a masters degree in instruction with concentration in 5-12 social studies. Nelsons desire was to work in a more rural setting. I was excited to see the opening in KW, she said, because it is a small community that reminded me of great opportunities that I had growing up in Moab and living in a small community that supports its schools. Her duties at KW include teaching sixth grade keyboarding, seventh grade computers, ninth grade American history, digital literacy 10, Microsoft applications, marketing, financial planning, and

Adobe Photoshop. Nelson will also serve as the senior class advisor. She said, I am looking forward to the school year and being able to bring my experience in the business world to the courses in business, computer technology, and social studies. Nelson and her husband Craig live in Lonsdale with their two children, an eight-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy. In her free time she enjoys four-wheeling, reading, traveling, hanging out at the lake, and watching the Minnesota Wild.
Dylon Starr

Tori Vouk recites a poem during the first Open Mic Poetry Night at Better Brew held last April. On Thursday, September 12 at 6:30 p.m. Van Horn Public Library, PAPA (Pine Area People for the Arts) and Megan Samuelson Dylon Starr Better Brew Coffeehouse will once again be co-hosting the event. The Open Mic event will be held every second Tuesday through December at science degree in K-8 elementary one point I thought I would never 6:30 p.m. at Better Brew.

Zumbrota native Dylon Starr was hired to teach an additional section of kindergarten. He said, I applied at KW because they had a position in the area I am most excited to work: elementary. I accepted the job because of the great opportunity it will give me to influence young learners and get them excited about what school has to offer. But my mom would say I accepted it to be close to her again! As a child he had big dreams to become a physician. Starr said, I wanted to be a doctor until I was in kindergarten. Then I wanted to be a teacher. That interest in teaching continued as he got older. He said, Id say Ive almost always been interested in my line of work. As a child I was probably drawn to getting to write on the white board. (For the older generations, the white board is what replaced the chalk board.) Now as an adult, Starr said his career has inspired him to be a positive influence in the lives of students, every single day. After graduating from Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School, Starr attended Winona State University where he earned his bachelor of

education with an emphasis in mathematics education. His student teaching assignment then took him halfway around the globe to Narre Warren South P-12 College in Australia. His photo for this article was taken in Australia near two kangaroos (three if you count the one in the pouch). Last year, he taught at Pine Island Middle School. Starr will join three other kindergarten teachers at KW. He said, My duties will include successfully introducing students to a great school system, encouraging positive student development, and making kindergarten a fun place to be. I may also be required to do some singing, dancing, and coloring. Starr loves sharing his gift of music with the kids as well. Outside of class, Starrs life continues in the town where he grew up. Ive got a great little family living in Zumbrota, he said. Were both successful and raising a very smart schnoodle puppy named Muffin. He enjoys playing the organ and piano, and hopes to once again get involved in local theater this year. His parents and his seven-year-old baby brother Gage live in Zumbrota as well.
Megan Samuelson

become a teacher and, to be honest, I couldnt see myself doing anything but teaching young children. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to learn from young ones every day! Samuelson received her bachelor of science degree in early childhood education at St. Cloud State University. During the last four years she has worked as a preschool teacher in the Cannon Falls and the Randolph school districts. After interviewing for a position at KW, Samuelson said, I could see the passion for early education in both the teaching staff and the administration and knew I wanted to be part of their team! At KW she will serve as an early childhood teacher in addition to teaching preschool and early childhood family education (ECFE) classes. Samuelson is eagerly waiting for October and the day she and her fianc get married.

Possibility
Dispatch from the Den
By Michael Redmond Goodhue Superintendent

I recently read an article on a blog written by Ian Jukes. The point of the article was to determine the one thing a teacher needs to have to be successful with modern learners. The answer turns out to be possibility. To paraphrase the blog, it is most important for a teacher to create a positive, joyful learning environment that is clearly focused on the possible. And in this day and age, what may be possible for each student is simply an amazing array of possibilities, the likes of which have never existed before today. As we start the new school year

in Goodhue, Ive been captivated by what is possible for our school district this year. The beginning of a new school year is filled with the possible. As I greet the students in the morning or walk through the hallways during the day, there is a buzz of excitement. I believe much of this excitement is created by student enthusiasm and wonder at what may be possible during the school day, during the school year, or during ones life. It is important we sustain our enthusiasm for creating an environment where students dream and act upon what they think is possible. It is our job to stoke the enthusiasm of students and create a learning environment that connects student learning activities to student curiosity about the world and their hopes and ambitions for what is possible in both the near and distant future. In the Goodhue School we are

entering our second year of creating a system called PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions in Supports). Our system is called Wildcat Pride and consists of five key elements- preparedness, respect, involvement, determination, and excellence. In our system, our staff incorporates mini-lessons on each of the key elements and also seeks to catch students doing the right things. For me, the ultimate goal of Wildcat Pride is to create a school district culture in which the possible is front and center and supported by a positive, joyful and learner-focused environment. In other words, our system is a means by which to continually stoke the enthusiasm of students and to continually support the amazing possibilities the modern world has to offer to our student learners.

Climate change and US immigration policy

To the Editor: If you happen to be a scientifically literate US citizen and do not dismiss the problems being caused by the relentless advance of greenhouse gas warming, you should also consider how climate change is related to the immigration policies of the country. The central question there is: if the Earth is getting warmer and people want to move from countries that are already being severely impacted by climate change to countries that are not yet being as severely impacted, should we take measures that facilitate that form of migration into the USA? As will be made clear below, that question is a tough one that pits the traditional humanitarian instincts of the United States (give me your tired, your poor) against the seemingly cruel conclusion derived from the scientific facts surrounding climate change. For starters, lets consider the recent recommendation of Hawaiis Senator Brian Schatz. Schatz is genuinely concerned about climate change, but he also believes that the United States should be more open to absorbing its impacts on the developing world. When the comprehensive immigration reform bill was being debated in the Senate in June 2013, Schatz proposed an amendment to create a special status for climate refugees. That amendment would have allowed the State Department to designate groups of applicants as being stateless persons for the purpose of legalizing their permanent presence in the United States. To qualify, their home nations would have to have been made uninhabitable by climate change. I am sure that many of us have great sympathy for Senator Schatzs recommendation. It seems fair and appropriate in view of the fact that the developed countries of the world are primarily responsible for the degradation our planet has suffered to date via greenhouse gas warming. Lets now also consider, however, the recommendation that emerges when some basic facts associated with man-caused global warming are considered. The only factor man has any control over in affecting the extent of future warming by the greenhouse gases is how much of the stuff he emits in the coming decades and centuries. Thats it there is nothing else we have control over. And the magnitude of those total emissions will be proportional to two factors one is the total population of the Earth, and the other is the individual emissions of the subsets of people who inhabit the Earth. It is known that the individuals in the developed countries emit roughly three times the main greenhouse gas, CO2, as do individuals living in underdeveloped countries. Thus a simple relationship for expected total CO2 emissions is: total emissions will be proportional to (population in undeveloped) x 1 + (population in developed countries) x 3. Therefore, in controlling total emissions, it is the magnitude of the population living in the developed countries that matters most, and climate-induced migration will increase that critically important number. For every person who moves from an underdeveloped to a developed country, that change is equivalent to adding two new individuals to the total population of the undeveloped countries. Thus, if allowed, a high level of migration from the underdeveloped to the developed countries constitutes twice the negative impact on global climate change than do their increasing birthrates. Now, one could protest, But these new immigrants will not emit three times more CO2 than they did previously! The facts, however, do not support that statement. The Hispanics arriving from Mexico, for example, tend to become just as good at consumption as most of us US residents once they establish their new lives here. After all, isnt that why they came? Or how about this one? If we reduced the emissions of people living in the developed countries to those of the individuals living in the underdeveloped countries, then we could increase immigration to the US without increasing total emissions, right? The showstopper here, of course, is that history suggests that this is not going to happen. Human beings just arent that good, and there is no reason to think they get better and more socially responsible when they get wealthier. In addition, if the developed countries of the world provide a safety valve for the venting of the growing populations of the underdeveloped countries, might not the populations of the undeveloped continue to go up anyway? Wont the populations of the underdeveloped countries stabilize only when there is no relief valve for the migration of their excess populations? In digesting these distinctly unpleasant thoughts concerning immigration, it is useful to remind ourselves that Mother Nature calls the shots and she will be a cruel mistress if we get it wrong. Thus, this environmental refugee problem provides yet another dilemma and springboard that calls for immediate action on climate change. With the world as it is, we must prevent an increase in immigration from the developing world into the cooler and more stable climes of the developed world. I can envision only one thing that would alleviate this and all other problems associated with mancaused climate change. That change would be a world-wide carbon tax charging all fossil fuel producers and users for the disposal of their waste CO2 into the atmosphere. With this simple and eminently reasonable change, carbon emissions by everyone would be immediately decreased and could be driven down to near-zero within a few decades. Not likely, you say. Fine, but in that case, either get used to the downsides of the world as it is or remain a scientifically illiterate skeptic of carbon dioxides effect on climate.

By the time you read this column, Congress will have made up its mind about Syria. I am going to assume that the vote by each House is close. Lets further assume that the resolution passes and we send cruise missiles into Syria. Ill even assume that all of the missiles hit their targets with a minimum amount of Syrians (civilian and military) killed. But what constitutes a successful strike? Is it the fact that we hit the targets doing maximum weapon damage? Is it that Assad apologizes for using chemical weapons? Does the Syrian military reduce its efforts fighting the rebel forces? Do Assad and some of his military leaders resign and run away to another country? Furthermore, we pull back after the barrage of cruise missiles and continue to watch and monitor the Syrian Civil War No boots on the ground! The consequences that follow are these. First, the United Nations Security Council (led by Russia) and the General Assembly pass a resolution charging the USA, and any other country that took an active part (France, Saudi

Arabia, etc.) with war crimes. Second, depending on the evaluation of the success of the mission, those who voted to attack and those voted not to use military force will separate into two camps regardless of party. If the mission is judged not to be successful, the warmongers will find their position to be reelected difficult, while if it is shown to be highly successful, they will be an easy re-election and the group of there has to be another way will be treated oppositely. Russia and Iran will appear to be the rational states even though they are funding the government side of the civil war. The USA will be deemed to be the Bully of the World (so you better do what we say or we will pound you). We will either go to the World Court trying to prove our innocence, or we will ignore the UN and the World Court. The first will be hard to prove and the second will do more harm than any possible good. Before we offer Russia a chance to look good, we ought to understand how that makes us look on the world scale. There are more consequences, but Ill leave them as an exercise for the reader to determine. Just as the civil war in Northern Ireland evolved from religious positions (two groups) into political ones (four groups), the Syrian Civil War is going through a similar evolution. The government side has Syrian military and Lebanese

Hezbollah troops (Which one actually used the chemical weapons?) and the rebel side has both secular and radical Muslim troops. This war is not like the Vietnam War where we could use the motto of stopping the growth of communism. Only one group poses any threat to the USA the radical Muslim group as part of Al Qaeda. If you look closely, the Al Qaeda faction in Syria is not interested in the USA. We have learned to fear any and all radical Muslim groups. This leads to an important point about the USA. We are a nation with less than 250 years of existence. We have shown the world many times the consequences of scaring us. Before cowboys and Indians, we had pilgrims and Indians, union and non-union, democracy and communism, and many other violent confrontations. We may get the opportunity to look back on this time period and call it the Christian and Muslim confrontations. The Syrian civil war is just another pebble in the rock wall of USA violence. It is time for the USA and its leaders to take the rational and non-violent path with Syria. The Syrian leadership needs to be charged by the UN, led by us and France, with war crimes. Let them face the World Court. Show the world that we can follow a nonviolent path to achieve world peace. Until next week.

Learning is our number one priority

To the Editor: On November 5, ZumbrotaMazeppa School District voters will go to the polls to decide on a $350 per student levy referendum for the ZM Schools. In the next few weeks, both communities will begin the discussion on why the school district needs additional funding. My greatest hope is that this conversation will stay positive as we discuss what educational opportunities will be available to our children in the next decade. ZM Schools just completed our annual fiscal year audit. Much of the financial data that will be presented will come from this audit, along with projected future budget numbers. Minnesota has a complicated and ever-changing school funding formula, and I hope we can present these financial numbers in a format that everyone can use and understand so they can make an informed decision. ZM Schools prides itself in providing high quality educational programs that meet the needs of all students. We continue to offer programs and class sizes that other districts have discontinued because of cost. The ZM Board of Education and administration believe in our program offerings and trying to keep class size ratios low to help children succeed. Recent test scores showed that grades 3-11 ZM students ranked first in district math and science in southeast Minnesota. All grade levels scored well above state averages in reading, math, and science. Academic excellence has been a tradition at ZM for many years. A quality education is a vehicle for each new generation of students to improve their opportunities to get good paying jobs to support their families and make positive contributions to their community, state, and nation. A quality public education is an investment in the future of our children and our communities. I believe that a quality school system is the best economic development tool a community can have. Thank you, Zumbrota and Mazeppa, for supporting our schools. Tony Simons ZM Superintendent

Two injured in Goodhue accident

By Alicia Hunt-Welch GOODHUE A two people were injured in a two-vehicle accident in Goodhue on September 4 at about 9:03 a.m. A 1993 Chevy pickup driven by Kenneth Strusz, 73, of Bellechester, was northbound on Highway 58. A 2007 Chrysler 300 driven by Nohemi Mireles, 33, of Goodhue, was heading east on County 9 when the two vehicles collided. Strusz was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and suffered non-life-threatening injuries. He was transported to St. Marys Hospital in Rochester for medical treatment. Mireles was wearing a seat belt and airbags deployed in her vehicle. She also sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to St. Marys for medical care. The Goodhue County Sheriffs Office assisted at the scene.

Recent criminal activity in Zumbrota is of concern

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA In recent months, there have been reports of three burglaries near the Highway 58/Main Street exit off Highway 52 on the south side of Zumbrota. In addition, there has been damage to locked doors at other businesses in the same area. The Zumbrota Police Department has provided a review of the crimes and offers tips for individuals and businesses to protect themselves and their property. The most recent forced entry was reported during the early morning hours of Sunday, August 25 at Subway Restaurant on East 18th Street. Money was stolen from a locked safe. No damage was done to the safe. The case was still an open investigation when Zumbrota Officer Gene Leifeld was contacted about the case. A motor vehicle theft occurred on July 23 from Route 58 Motor Company. The vehicle information was entered into the National Criminal Information Center (NCIC) as being stolen. It is also an open case per Zumbrota Police Chief Gary Selness. Another burglary occurred earlier this year when Shock City Cellular (Verizon Wireless) on South Main Street had a number of items stolen April 18. According to Police Chief Selness, a person was arrested for the local robbery and for other phone store thefts. Information on the five phones stolen in Zumbrota were entered into NCIC. The Zumbrota case is being handled by the county attorney for prosecution. Other businesses in the area that received damage included Zumbrota Ford, reporting damage to a door on June 14 and also damage earlier in the year on January 7. Damage to a back door of the former Garden Paradise building was reported on May 9 and Prigges Floor Center also reported damage to a back door on January 30. Chief Selness said, It appears criminals are working in dark back door areas, where they know there is no alarm or surveillance cameras. Officer Leifeld, in his role as crime prevention officer, has compiled the following list of tips to assist the public (individuals and businesses) in protecting themselves, possessions, and businesses against crime.

pany. Be safe. Change locks and combinations. Never label keys. Use a code if necessary. Light up entrances and alleys. Leave some lights on in full view of the street. Ensure that lighting is sufficient. Before and after hour building access must be adhered to and enforced. Near business open/close be observant of people entering and existing premises. When leaving for the day, leave in pairs or groups. Keep cash to a minimum. Leave empty cash drawers open after hours. Keep an accurate inventory of valuables.
Preventing vehicle theft

Locks/strike plates

Deadbolt locks have a bolt that must be activated by a key or a thumb turn. They offer good security and are not spring activated. A single cylinder deadbolt is activated with a key on the exterior side of the door and a thumbturn piece on the interior side. A double-cylinder deadbolt is key activated on both sides of the door. It should be installed where there is glass within 40 inches of the lock. Double-cylinder deadbolt locks are only permitted in existing single-family homes, town homes and first floor duplexes.
Additional security measures

Pine Island students head back to school

By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND Pine Island Public School welcomed students back for the 2013-14 school year.

Football
PI tops LA for first SFA victory
By Faye Haugen LEWISTON - Using a strong running and passing combination, the Pine Island football team beat Lewiston-Altura, 22-13, for their first Southern Football Alliance White Division win. The Panthers were able to control the line of scrimmage most of the game to keep the ball out of the hands of the Cardinals and limit their number of plays. PI ran 28 more offensive plays than LA, and they limited them to three possessions the opening half. LA did score twice in the second quarter on a one-yard run by Storm Seefeldt and a 27-yard run by Brady Lange. Pine Island got a field goal from Ben Warneke and they scored just before the half on a one-yard pass from Jared Lohmeyer to Warneke for a 13-10 score at the break. Pine Island took advantage of three Cardinal turnovers in the second half. Ryan McNallan ran in from the two-yard line to give PI the lead, 16-13. The senior scored again in the fourth quarter on a 26-yard run to seal the win, 22-13. Jared Lohmeyer was 13 of 22 passing for 178 yards. Ben Warneke made five receptions for 78 yards. Ben Farrell made four catches for 52 yards. Ryan McNallan rushed for a team-high 148 yards on 25 carries. Pine Island rolled up a whomping 408 yards of offense (230 rushing, 178 passing). LA had 320 yards of offense, but they did have six turnovers (three interceptions and three fumbles). The Panthers will play their home opener on Friday when they host St. Charles. The Saints have a 1-1 record and are coming off a 30-18 win over Dover-Eyota. The Saints relied on their passing game to top the Eagles.

ZM passing game is too much for KW

By Faye Haugen ZUMBROTA - A strong passing attack allowed the ZumbrotaMazeppa football team to get off to a fast start in their first White Division game of the Southern Football Alliance. ZM also took advantage of three fumbles, two interceptions and 78 yards of penalties in their 41-20 win over Kenyon-Wanamingo. The Knights turned the ball over on a fumble on their first series of plays. It took only one play for ZM to score when Kurt Gadient found Ellis Hirman with a 43-yard pass just a minute and a half into the game. Jacob Tschann kicked the first of three PATs. Another KW fumble set up ZMs second TD, a 31-yard pass from Gadient to Jacob Ugland. The Cougar defense forced the Knights to punt on their next series, and that resulted in a three-yard run by Tschann for a 19-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. ZM opened the second quarter with another passing TD from Gadient to Ugland for 50 yards to lift the score to 26-0. Drew Sathrum got the Knight faithful to their feet on the next KW series. Finding an opening, the speedy junior raced 67 yards to the end zone for KWs first score of the game. ZM came back from the half to raise the score to 33-6 on a threeyard run by Tschann. KW countered with a three-yard TD run from Tanner Warner for a 33-13 score at the end of three quarters. The Knights scored to open the fourth quarter when Sathrum rolled in from the one and Luke Votruba kick the PAT for a 33-20 score. ZM put the game away just a little over a minute later when Gadient dove in from the one for the 41-20 final score. Kurt Gadient was 10 of 14 passing for 285 yards and three touchdowns. Ellis Hirman made three receptions for 104 yards, Hunter Prodzinski made three catches for 87 yards, and Jacob Ugland made two receptions for 81 yards.

Chatfields defense shuts out Goodhue

By Faye Haugen GOODHUE - Solid defensive play by Chatfield earned them a 34-0 win at Goodhue on Friday in Blue Division play in the Southern Football Alliance. The Cats had their chances but they were unable to move the ball when they needed to, especially in the second half. Chatfield scored twice in the first quarter. Jacob Neis ran in from the one as the Gophers capitalized on an interception on Goodhues first offensive series. Goodhue stopped Chatfields next drive when Chuck Dahling fell on a fumble. But Goodhue failed to move the ball and was forced to punt. Neis gained 67 yards on a run on the next Gopher series of plays, and he ran in from the three for a 14-0 lead. Neis scored on a two-yard run in the second quarter to give Chatfield a 21-0 lead at the half. Goodhue got a break on the second half kickoff when Chatfield fumbled the ball. Goodhue had great field position inside the 25, but they were unable to sustain the drive. Chatfield fumbled again on their next set of downs with Goodhue making the recovery and moving to the three-yard line. But four attempts at scoring were turned back by the Gophers. Starting at the three, Chatfield saw Neis break away from a 47-yard run for a 270 lead late in the third quarter. Chatfield added one more score on a one-yard plunge by Carter Duxbury with two minutes to play in the game.

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA Inez Brunner and David Lohmann, both of Zumbrota, attended a special event at the Minnesota State Fair on Seniors Day, August 29. After being named as the 2013 Goodhue County Outstanding Senior Citizens during a program held at the Goodhue County Fair on Thursday, August 8, Brunner and Lohmann were recognized for their outstanding commitment to community service since reaching the age of 65. The event, held at the Leinie Lodge Bandshell was sponsored by the Minnesota State Fair, the Minnesota State Fair Foundation, and the Federation of County Fairs. Approximately 80 other senior citizens from across the state also attended the program. Neither Brunner nor Lohmann know specifically who nominated them for the award, and only learned a week before the Goodhue County Fair that they were to attend the program where they received the county recognition. They are quite surprised to be honored for their volunteer efforts. The award was sponsored by the Goodhue County Bankers Association. Among Brunners volunteer activities has been her longtime participation in the Zumbrota VFW Ladies Auxiliary and American Legion Auxiliary. Some of her activities have included serving as Buddy Poppy Chairperson for over 50 years, before stepping down from the role last year, and overseeing the making and placement of wreaths on veterans graves on Memorial Day. Brunner has volunteered in many church and community activities. She remains active in the quilting ministry at her church and is known for cooking and baking for events. She also mentioned serving on the Zumbrota Hospital Board for fifteen years where she was secretary throughout her tenure. With a smile on her face, Brunner gave the disclaimer that she was absent

at the first meeting, and in her absence, was elected secretary. Brunner, a native of the area (White Willow), attributes her volunteerism to just some good parenting growing up, I guess. Lohmann, also a native of Zumbrota, lives on the Century Farm his grandfather moved to in the late 1800s. For the past eleven years, he has been involved with Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), a service sponsored by AARP and the IRS. In his role

with VITA, Lohmann provides income tax preparation service to the elderly and people with low incomes in the area. He attends classes to prepare for the tax season each January. Then, February through mid-April, he provides income tax service in Red Wing two days a week and an additional day per week in Cannon Falls. He also assists with income tax refunds during the summer months. Lohmann has served on the Farm Bureau Board for sixteen years.

He is a regular blood donor, having donated a total of 178 units thus far. Though no longer involved in the day-to-day farming operation, Lohmann assists with the yearly tasks of filling silo and keeps active with other projects. Lohmann was accompanied to the State Fair event by his wife, Gladys, and daughter, Valerie Omdahl. They spent several hours after the program visiting the fair. Four of Brunners five children attended the program with her.

An eventful summer for PAPA

By Kelly Leibold PINE ISLAND The Pine Area People for the Arts (PAPA) had an eventful summer and members are gearing up for the year ahead. In June, over 50 young students presented three performances of Fiddler on the Roof Junior, with enthusiastic response from the community. Throughout the summer, community members could catch outdoor concerts on Sunday evenings, entertained by a variety of area talent. PAPA even teamed up with the Historical Society and Miss Pine Island Royalty for their last concert and an ice cream social. In just this past year, PAPA started a communitywide reading group, One Title One Town, in addition to openmic poetry nights beginning monthly this fall. Also this summer, PAPA discovered local youth looking for opportunities to get involved in the Pine Island community. An improv comedy group formed this June with a group of high school friends. They gave a sample performance for PAPA members in an effort to initiate a collaboration to bring about performance opportunities. A non-profit organization like PAPA is driven by an incredible amount of volunteers of all ages. PAPA sponsors a variety of events yearly including youth theatre, outdoor summer concerts, annual variety shows, seasonal holiday entertainment, music that reaches over 700 students in our school each year, and much more. If you are interested in helping promote visual and performing arts in the Pine Island area, come and share your ideas and join us. PAPA meets at 6:30 p.m. the third Sunday of the month at Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Pine Island, September through May. All are welcome. Our next meeting is this Sunday, September 15.

Pine Island Girl Scouts help with school supply collection

PINE ISLAND This summer the Girl Scouts in Pine Island teamed up with the school to help students get ready for September. With the tough economic times, many families struggle to purchase school supplies for their children. Pine Island Girl Scouts decided to help out. Collection bins were placed in various locations around town. The Pine Island Lions club supported the effort with a monetary donation. The drive culminated with a picnic for Girl Scouts of all grade levels and their families on August 22 at City Park. 65 Girl Scouts, leaders and family attended the evening. For $2 per person and a school supply donation, everyone enjoyed games, hot dogs, chips and lemonade. Over 350 Items were collected, including 26 packs of crayons, 21 packs of markers, 20 packs of colored pencils, 6 packs of dry erase markers, 15 packs of pencils, 19 packs of erasers, 13 pairs of scissors, 11 packs of highlighters, 41 bottles of glue and glue sticks, 14 pen packs, 7 rulers, 94 notebooks, 70 folders, four packs of post-it notes, eight pencil boxes, four calculators, two packs of index cards and holders and eight backpacks. All extra money was used to purchase more calculators and backpacks. Overall, it was a success, a lot of fun and a great way to put the Girl Scout law into practice. Girl Scouts plan on it being an annual event. All donated supplies were given to Pine Island School and will be distributed by the school office to families in need.

Red Wing Diversity Festival is September 14

RED WING The 13th annual Red Wing Diversity Festival will be held on Saturday, September 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Central Park in downtown Red Wing. Central Park is located between East and West Avenues and 4th and 5th Streets. The festivals theme this year is Exploring Our Roots, highlighting the fact that when we explore where our ancestors came from we can learn a lot about ourselves and about each other as well. We all come from different backgrounds, yet we are all the same. We can also celebrate our cultural differences and learn from one another. The festival will feature local and area exhibitors and retail vendors. People will have the opportunity to learn about cultures other than their own and resources available to assist with any issues individuals may have. This year there will be many exhibitors and vendors who have been a part of the festival before, as well as many new displays. New this year is the Code Red program. Code Red is a free service available to individuals and families wherein you can sign up to receive a call when there are dangerous weather warnings or other possible disasters. The Red Wing Fire Department will be on hand to give CPR instructions. There will also be an opportunity to sign up for CPR training and certification. Returning this year will be an art show and sale that will be held on the lawn of Christ Episcopal Church which is located just across 4th Street from the park. Local artists will display original works for show and sale. Some of the proceeds from the art sale will go to help support the festival. There will be food representative of different cultures available in the food court, near the balustrade on the 5th Street side of the park. People are invited and encouraged to bring a picnic lunch. This years festival will feature an expanded lineup of activities for children and families. The Red Wing Public Library will present a story time and puppets for preschool and elementary age children beginning at 10:30 a.m. At 11 a.m. preschool games and exercises will be led by Red Cottage Montessori staff. The Balloon Man, David Olson, will be on hand from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from noon to 12:45 p.m. there will be a fun interactive activity with bubble blowing. From 1:00-1:45 p.m. there will be activities and games for older children led by Dave Borgen. At 2:20 p.m. everyones attention will be drawn to the band shell stage presentation by the Teddy Bear Band from the Twin Cities. This group has been in Red Wing before and is a huge hit with children of all ages. At 3 p.m., Hispanic Outreach will be providing several pinatas for the children to break and collect the treasures inside. All day long there will be a craft area where children can participate in creating their own diversity-based creations. On the band shell stage local dignitaries will conduct the opening activities beginning at 10 a.m. At 10:55 a.m. Groupo Tirador will return with exciting Latin American music. At noon festival-goers can dance or just listen to the lively music of Ray Sands and the Polka Dots, reminding us of our European and Scandinavian roots. At 1:15 p.m. we will enjoy the music of Long Time Gone, a bluegrass group. As mentioned earlier, the Teddy Bear Band will perform for the enjoyment of all ages at 2:20 p.m. Our strolling ukulele player, Matthew Rivera, will again be featured during the festival. Again this year, the Red Wing Human Rights Commission will be presenting this years Amos Owen Award from the stage at about 12:45 p.m. This award is presented to an individual/group who has demonstrated superior efforts to promote and protect human rights. This is an annual award presented in honor of Amos Owen, a Mdewakanton Sioux tribal leader, who was known for his efforts in the area of human rights and equality of individuals, as well as promoting and preserving Mdewakanton Sioux tribal history and customs. Barbara vonHaaren, Chair of the Red Wing Human Rights Commission, will be presenting the award. Following the presentation, there will be a speaker who will share some insights and information concerning immigration. The local ministerial group will then make a special presentation. The final stage act of the day will be the colorful and exciting Larry Yazzie, Native American Fancy Dancer. His beautiful costume and headdress reflect the excitement of the Native Americans spelled out in dance and song. Yazzie has been a part of our festival for several years and will be leading the traditional Friendship Dance that will be held at the close of the day at about 3:40 p.m. Festival-goers are encouraged to join hands and participate in the Friendship Dance that symbolizes the joining of all, no matter the culture, skin color, background or other diverse attributes. There will be something for everyone at this years Diversity Festival - come join the fun and excitement. The festival is entirely free of charge! This year, for the first time, there will be drawings held throughout the day to award valuable prizes that have been donated by local and area merchants. Be sure to come to the information tent early in the day to register for the prize drawings. We have gift certificates, gift cards and certificates for free meals plus a great deal more! For information or any questions you may have, contact Marilyn Olson at (651) 388-0707 email: marilynolson@ pressenter.com.

POW/MIA Day is September 20

ROCHESTER On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, Friday, September 20, the POW/MIA Riders Association will present a program at 6 p.m. remembering prisoners of war and those missing in action. The program will be held at the Soldiers Field Veterans Memorial in Rochester. National POW/MIA Day is the third Friday in September. On March 9, 1989 the POW/MIA flag, which flew over the White House on National POW/MIA Day in 1988, was installed in the U.S. Capital Rotunda. This is the only flag ever displayed in the rotunda and the only flag, other than the U.S. flag, to fly over the White House. On August 10, 1990 Congress passed a law recognizing the POW/ MIA flag and designating it as a symbol of our nations commitment to our prisoners of war and missing in action. In the dining halls of the U.S. armed forces a single table and chair with the POW/MIA flag draped over the chair will be displayed as a symbol of the missing and of hopes for their return. You Are Not Forgotten is on every POW/MIA Flag, and this program helps to fulfill that pledge.

Wanamingo
KW School to seek help on the Affordable Health Care Act
By Alicia Hunt-Welch KENYON At the August 26 Kenyon-Wanamingo School Board meeting, board vice-chair Marilyn Syverson recommended that the board approve working with Eide Bailly to assist district officials in understanding the new Affordable Health Care Act and actions the district needs to take. Syverson has reviewed the legal language in the documents, but the necessary steps and ramifications of the act are not clear. Syverson said Superintendent Jeff Evert and district business manager Kathy Flikke have spent a great deal of time trying to understand actions needed on the districts part, but still do not have a clear understanding. Evert described evaluating the act as overwhelming. The board approved paying $3,200 for a study from Eide Bailly that will outline three things: whether the district is in compliance, what it will take to be in compliance, and what the impact will be to the district.

The Southeastern Minnesota Multi-County Housing and Redevelopment Authority submitted their annual report of tax-increment financing districts properties within Kenyon. TIF properties have a specified number of years they are exempt from paying property taxes to schools, in addition to other entities. Evert reminded the board to watch their pennies and warned them to be careful and mindful of what they are approving, and how it will impact the budget. By Alicia Hunt-Welch MAZEPPA Joe Sand of the Planning & Zoning Board suggested that Mazeppa consider purchasing some of the vacant lots in the Scenic Heights residential subdivision at the September 4 city council meeting. The vacant lots are owned by Pine Island Bank. If the city were to purchase lots, they could then work with a contractor to build homes on the lots to be sold when completed. The city would see the return on their money when the property is sold. Currently 36 lots are unsold in the residential subdivision. City Administrator Duane Hofschulte said the city would consider purchasing about five lots for this purpose. Money for the purchase would most likely be borrowed from the water/sewer fund to purchase the lots at a discounted price through the bank. Some lots are being offered for about $20,000 or less. Sand and Mayor Bob Beniak said for people looking for a new home, it is too much work to purchase a lot and then build; new homeowners want to just move into a place. Hofschulte said there are no constructed homes for sale in Mazeppa. Councilman Tom Marsh said other cities have purUpcoming events chased lots for resale.

KW staff prepares for a new school year

By Alicia Hunt-Welch KENYON As a sure sign that summer is coming to an end, teacher in-service days started at Kenyon-Wanamingo School on August 26. Keith Nord, a motivational speaker and former Minnesota Vikings player, was hired as a guest speaker for the first day of in-service training. That evening at the regular school board meeting, Superintendent Jeff Evert said Nord was a great speaker. Principal Brent Ashland thought Nords message was well received by the staff. In-service days continued throughout the last week of August. Principal Matt Ryan lined up Google applications training for staff on Friday.
AD position and teacher overloads approved

was determined she has a background in 5-12 social studies. Therefore Nelson will take on one of Hockinsons classes as well. Hockinson is currently a 1.0 fulltime equivalent employee, teaching four social studies classes with one class prep time, and the remaining time serving as AD. With the plan approved by the board, he would have three AD hours during the school day. He receives stipend pay for AD duties work outside the regular school day. The motion to approve the additional AD hour carried. Evert told the board that Hockinson recently met with coaches to cover responsibilities and expectations.
Staff changes

Athletic Director Randy Hockinson requested the board evaluate the time allotted for his duties, and he requested more prep time. KW is the only district in the HVL that gives less than four hours for the position. Hockinsons duties expanded when another sport was added, in addition to his regulating and administering all co-curricular activities. Evert recommended an additional hour for AD time in Hockinsons schedule. In 2011, the board placed Hockinson on special assignment and divided his time between teaching and AD duties. As a result of his AD assignment, middle school social studies teacher Sara Ohm took over teaching one of his classes and was placed on overload. This will continue this year and Ohms overload for the school year will cost an additional $6332.86. When business teacher Lisa Nelson was hired this summer, it

Special education teacher David Delaney resigned due to personal reasons. Delaney was hired in July as a special education teacher to work with students with emotional/ behavior disorders. His resignation was effective August 2. As a result, Principal Ashland said he and Principal Ryan were in a mad dash to get this hard-to-staff position filled. At the school board meeting Ashland said they offered the job to John Medcraft that day. The board will officially approve Medcrafts hiring at a future meeting. Megan Samuelson was hired to serve as an early childhood education teacher through Community Education for the summer. Samuelson was paid a rate of $26 per hour for the temporary summer school position. Samuelson was hired in July as a full-time early childhood education teacher for the KWCE program.

ing this need would arise. Goranson will get a list of specifications wanted for a new truck to the city administrator for the councils review before it goes out for bids. Several months ago, Goranson, the council, and city attorney Steve Erwin discussed the volunteers who sign up, take training, and then become inactive or quit. In some of these situations inactive volunteers still have equipment belonging to the fire department. Erwin asked if any progress has been made regarding this problem. Goranson said one of the inactive volunteers returned the departments equipment. Erwin presented a proposed agreement for volunteers to avoid this situation in the future. Goranson will discuss it with the department officers at the next meeting. In July the department responded to three fire calls, eight medical incidents, and participated in a training with the Mayo One medical helicopter team. In August the department responded to eight medical calls and participated in an 800 megahertz radio training. The council approved a permit for the annual Mazeppa Firemens Dance. The dance will be held at the Leos Sports Bar parking lot on September 21.

Oronoco

Sewage treatment assessment for Oronoco is presented

By Alice Duschanek-Myers ORONOCO Joe Palen of Stantec presented the findings of the Downtown Oronoco Community Assessment Report (CAR) to city residents on September 4. Sheila Craig of the Southeast Minnesota Wastewater Initiative answered questions about the requirements for wastewater treatment and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The CAR was funded by a $40,000 grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the Public Facilities Authority. Palen said 111 sewage treatment systems north of the Minnesota Avenue Bridge were assessed and included in the report. The assessment exceeded the grant funds. Field investigations, soil borings, mappings of existing septic system and property lines, resident surveys, and evaluations from the city and county records and Geographic Information System (GIS) were included in the study. Of the 111 individual septic systems 71 (64%) have drainfields and seepage beds, 31 (28%) have cess pools and/or dry walls, three (<3%) have holding tanks, two (<2%) have mounds, one (<1%) has Type V, and three (<3%) have no water facilities. Only 44 (40%) are likely compliant with current standards to protect groundwater. 29 (26%) are non-compliant and an imminent threat to public health, 35 (32%) are non-compliant and possible future threats to public health, and three (<3%) have no water or septic systems. Craig said, Imminent threat to public health means there is some level of sewage on the surface of the ground. This could range from a pipe to a ditch to wastewater surfacing. She said greywater from washers and other appliances must also drain into a sewage treatment system, not onto the ground. Palen said leaks can develop and there can be a lack of separation between the media in systems and the groundwater. He reported that 25% of the 111 systems are non-compliant due to incomplete reporting of required pumping every three years, which has often resulted from the pumpers failure to file paperwork with the city. In the study, 60% of the individual systems were determined to be out of compliance with one or more standards set to protect public health and the environment. The life expectancy of a septic system is 20-30 years. 25% of the systems that are likely compliant dont meet setback requirements. 19 of the 44 compliant systems are more than 30 years old. Palen said, More than 75% of the systems in the study area are either failing, or are near the end of their expected service life. Palen described four options for replacing the individual systems on site: Type I: Include drainfields, seepage beds, at-grade systems or mounds. Type II: Generally holding tanks. Type III: Similar to Type I systems with special provisions to overcome the limitations imposed by problem soils, or disturbed soils such as fill. Type IV: These systems employ pre-treatment products that have been registered with the MPCA. They are operated under a permit issued by Olmsted County. If the city council decides that individual systems should be replaced, Palen recommended 21 use Type I, with three requiring variances for setbacks. Type II is recommended for one property in the flood plain. Type III is recommended for 15 properties (nine are residential). Type IV is recommended for five properties. For all properties except those with holding tanks, vehicle traffic must be restricted in the soil dispersal area, which would have a great effect on Downtown Gold Rush Days. The costs per property owner would average about $11,060. Centralized (cluster) systems could be used for 51 properties on three sites. Palen said none of the residents have been approached about the assessment of their systems or identified in the study. There is no knowledge if anyone would sale land for centralized treatment sites. The costs for wastewater treatment for individual homes would vary depending on size and usage. The costs per property owner would be $29,600 for the cluster system. The cost for all of the properties would average $19,500 for 51 on cluster systems and 60 on individual systems. Stantec recommended that the City of Oronoco plan for the construction of a traditional municipal collection and wastewater treatment system in the study area and areas where the properties could be accessed and it is economically feasible. Future growth should be considered in the plan. Areas with shallow bedrock, rolling terrain, rivers, and the highway and roadways create challenges. A facility plan from Stantec will cost $62,000. The city council will decide on the options. Palen said that Oronoco is the largest city in Minnesota with no sewer system. A resident asked the level of urgency for the city being mandated to construct a sewage system. Palen said, As long as the community committee (Sewer and Water Commission) is planning and with the CAR, the MPCA has accepted that action. Mayor Kevin McDermott said the council has been discussing a sewage system and using the Rochester sales tax revenue for the facility plan. The cost is 10% of the city budget. If regional facilities cannot be developed with Pine Island, Rochester, or another community, the city must do something. When asked if south of the bridge should be done at the same time, McDermott said, We cannot afford to do the whole city right now. Other parts of town would be phased in over time. Palen said it would take about six months for Stantec to prepare the facility plan. Once funding sources are in place, the construction could begin in 2014 or 2015. The CAR is one step to the city investigating available grant funds for a wastewater system. The report and plan will get the project a place on the state Project Priority List (PPL). The interest rate for bonding can be determined. The CAR could move the city up in eligibility as a priority project for grants. The interest rate for the municipal water project was 1%.

Peoples Energy Cooperative joins 11 other electric cooperatives to form SMEC

ORONOCO Peoples Energy Cooperative joined with 11 other electric distribution cooperatives serving Minnesota to form Southern Minnesota Energy Cooperative (SMEC) as the single point of contact, for the purchase of electric service territory in southern Minnesota from Alliant Energy. SMEC today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire territory from Alliant Energy. The transaction is contingent upon regulatory approval. Assuming the acquisition is approved by regulators, it is expected to close in 2014. For Peoples the combined territory would serve approximately 22,600 members. The acquisition will add approximately 43,000 electric accounts to the systems of all of the 12 SMEC member cooperatives combined. This acquisition will give SMECs 12 member cooperatives new economies of scale to spread our fixed costs over more member-owners, said Elaine Garry, president and CEO of Peoples. Keeping rates stable is more challenging these days with the cost of environmental compliance, integrating renewables, declining energy sales, and general inflation affecting our rates. This acquisition is the single biggest positive action we can take to offset a portion of these cost pressures. The service territories of Alliant Energy and the 12 cooperatives overlap, serving mostly rural areas in the southern portion of Minnesota. Alliant Energy will continue to serve Minnesota through a 10-year wholesale power agreement with the 12 cooperatives. The 12 SMEC member cooperatives are BENCO Electric Cooperative, Brown County Rural Electrical Association, Federated Rural Electric, Freeborn-Mower Cooperative Services, Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative, Nobles Cooperative Electric, Peoples Energy Cooperative, Redwood Electric Cooperative, Sioux Valley Energy, South Central Electric Association, SteeleWaseca Cooperative Electric,and Tri-County Electric Cooperative. Like Peoples, all 12 electric cooperatives have served southern Minnesota for more than 70 years, said Garry. We look forward to extending our professional, high-quality service to the former Alliant Energy customers who will become our new member-owners. All of the Alliant Energy electric employees will be offered positions with the local cooperative. All rates for electric cooperatives are set on a cost-of-service basis to provide the highest quality service at the lowest practical cost. While the 12 participating cooperatives have slightly different rates, services, billing options and programs, each is committed to seeing that this transaction provides a long-term, economies-ofscale benefit to both current and new member-owners. Adding the Alliant Energy customers through this proposed acquisition of territory will grow and increase the efficiency of each cooperative, added Garry. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity helps all of us continue to provide our electric cooperative memberowners with high-quality service at a competitive cost. Should the acquisition receive all the requisite approvals, Alliant Energy customers will become member-owners of one of the 12 electric cooperatives and enjoy the benefits of cooperative ownership including voting rights, board representation and the opportunity for patronage capital refunds the margins of a cooperative that are returned to member-owners over time.

County

Welch Village Ski area to expand

By Paul Martin RED WING The Goodhue County Board of Commissioners approved a new building at Welch Village Ski Area at its September 3 meeting. Plans call for a 12,000 square foot maintenance and office building, and a 2,400 square foot shed. The site is on a fiveacre parcel of land. Planning Officer Mike Wozniak described the main building as attractive and well designed. It will be raised above any expected flood level. Construction will only go ahead when the county is satisfied that the plans conform to the extra requirements that go with its location in the Cannon River wild and scenic river area. Chair Dan Rechtzigel said, The ski area is a great asset to the county. We want them to move forward without being hampered by bureaucratic requirements.
Balanced budget closer

ers voted 3-2 to approve the 1.72% increase as preliminary figure. Commissioners Ron Allen and Ted Seifert voted no. Commissioner Jim Bryant argued, You cant support programs all year long, but then not fund them. Commissioner Rich Samuelson responded, Our constituents expect us to do our best, but they realize that there is inflation and that we have to look after our employees, or we wont have any. Work on the budget will continue this fall. The final figure needs to be set at the December 17 board meeting. That figure can be the same or lower, but it cannot be raised after this weeks vote.
Sand mining rules

The state will write the rules anyway, Hanni said. Normally they would appoint an advisory committee, but in this case they dont intend to because they are working under a short time frame. Concerned residents, including Marie McNamara, have asked for their voices to be heard. The motion to support the petition was approved over two no votes. Samuelson said, We are just asking the state to make more rules. We have more than enough already.
Planning reports

Chief Land Use Officer Lisa Hanni asked the board to approve and forward a letter asking the state to appoint an advisory committee to give input on silica sand mining rules as they are written.

The board approved an application by Ismail Corporation for an off-sale liquor license in Frontenac. The owners plan to expand their existing convenience store on Hwy 61 Blvd. Final approval lies with the state. The contract for replacing a bridge on 147th Avenue in Roscoe

Township was awarded. The bridge was damaged in the fall 2010 floods. Work will begin this fall. The summer road program is nearing completion. Work on County Roads 9 (Dennison to Sogn) and 10 (east of Zumbrota) is now complete, as is the 2013 work on Hwy 168 in Zumbrota. The 100th Avenue bridge in Leon Township is complete. The Sogn Valley Trail bridge will open shortly. Surfacing, sealcoating and traffic marking is also done for the summer. Work on the new Hwy 24 serving the new Mayo Medical Center in Cannon Falls starts this week. The road is planned to open in fall 2014. The commissioners are delighted with the modified plans for the new County Road 9 overpass on Hwy 52. They reported that reactions they have heard have been From left to right at the State Fair VIP Dairy Tour are Representative very favorable. Tama Theis of St Cloud, Rep.

Before their meeting, the commissioners and staff did more work on the 2014 budget. The state has recently imposed a cap on property levy increases. Finance Director Carolyn Holmsten has confirmed that Goodhue County will be limited to a 1.72% rise, or $462,355. Since the August 19 budget workshop, $339,000 has been chipped away from the figures. However, further savings of $258,000 have to be found, just to reach that figure. In the full meeting, commission-

Roadwork begins in Oronoco

ORONOCO Bituminous reclamation and overlay work began on September 10 on County State Aid Highway 18 (Minnesota Ave) between CR 112 and CSAH 12, CR 118 (East Center St) between CSAH 18 and 6th Lane NW. The project includes bituminous reclamation, bituminous overlay, curb and gutter, storm sewer, culvert replacement, and pavement markings. Rochester Sand & Gravel is the contractor for the $1,097,000 project. Work will be done one lane at a time, with traffic being maintained on the other lane through the use of flagging operations. Motorists should expect delays and seek alternate routes if possible. Construction will occur throughout the remainder of summer and is expected to be completed by October 25. Motorists are reminded to always drive with caution, slow down in work zones, and never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones. For additional information contact Olmsted County Public Works at 507-328-7070.

Minnesota Milk State Fair VIP Dairy Tour was Aug. 23

Worlds oldest-known wild black bear dies at 39

The worlds oldest-known wild bear has died of old age in northern Minnesota at the age of 39, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Known to DNR researchers as Bear No. 56, the female American black bear was first captured and radio-collared in July 1981 by DNR scientists during the first summer of a long-term research project on bear population ecology. The bear was 7 years old at the time and was accompanied by three female cubs. Bear No. 56 became a significant animal in the DNR research project. During a 32-year study period, she and her many offspring provided an almost uninterrupted record of reproduction, survival, movements and, eventually, senescence (aging), within a single matriarchal lineage. Data from this bear and her offspring have contributed significantly to the scientific literature on black bear biology. From 1981-1995, Bear No. 56 produced eight litters of cubs and successfully reared a remarkable 21 of the 22 cubs to 1 years of age. In 1997, at age 23, she uncharacteristically lost two of her three cubs before weaning. In 1999, at age 25, she bore and raised her last cub. In 2001, when she was next expected to give birth, researchers found her healthy in her den and producing milk but without cubs. Bear No. 56 outlived by 19 years all of the 360 other radio-collared black bears that DNR researchers have followed since 1981. She also outlived any radio-collared bear of any species in the world. Only a very few individual study bears have been reported to reach age 30. The second-oldest was a brown bear that lived to 34. Researchers suspect Bear No. 56s longevity probably is best attributed to a combination of factors, including the location of her home range in a forested area with few people or major roads; a more reticent nature than that of many bears, in terms of her avoidance of people; and luck. Getting this information about this bear has taken a lot of effort. This really attests to the value of a long-term study with a large sample of bears, said Dave Garshelis, DNR bear project leader. Had we not studied so many bears, we likely would not have encountered this intriguing outlier. It was not just documenting that she lived to be so old, but understanding how she was able to live to be so much older than other bears that made this incredibly interesting and useful. In the last few years of her life, Bear No. 56 began to visit some hunters baits, but hunters passed up shooting her, abiding by a DNR request that hunters not shoot collared bears. When last handled in March 2010, Bear No. 56 was a healthy weight but her teeth showed excessive wear and her eyes were clouding. Since then, her hearing and eyesight continued to deteriorate. Rarely observed through most of her life, Bear No. 56 had been observed by people during the past two summers with increasing frequency, foraging along trails and traveling dirt roads, likely because of the greater ease of travel than in the woods. Sometime in July, Bear No. 56 left her normal home range, as bears often do in late summer, to explore other areas for rich food sources on which to fatten for winter. After locating her radio signal several miles from her typical home area, DNR bear researcher Karen Noyce found her decomposed body in a secluded wooded location. From all indications, she died a quiet death, with no sign of struggle at the site and no evidence of broken bones or traumatic injury. This is the first bear in our study to die of old age, and there is something satisfying in that, said Noyce, who, along with Ken Soring, DNRs current enforcement director, conducted the first capture of Bear No. 56 as a rookie biologist in 1981. We knew she was getting feeble, Noyce said. It would have been sad to find her on the side of the road somewhere, hit by a car. After following her all these years, Im glad to know she died peacefully. It was a fitting death for a fine old bear.
