By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA – On Saturday,

June 9, 1956, a grand opening washeld at the Dairy Queen Store onHighway 52 (now Jefferson Drive)in Zumbrota. Since 1995, the prop-erty has been owned by OurSaviour’s Lutheran Church withthe building used primarily foryouth activities. The building onthe east side church’s property wasdemolished on September 23 tomake way for the congregation’sbuilding project, prompting a va-riety of memories to be recalled.Early days of the DQ

Kenneth and Edna Zeller werewell known in the area, as well asaround the state, for their cheese-making abilities. They had won avariety of championships for theirwork at cheese factories in the lo-cal area and Bongards. Upon see-ing an advertisement to open aDairy Queen in Zumbrota, theydecided to invest in the ice creamstore.

It opened in March 1956 andgrand opening celebration was heldin June. A June 7, 1956 ZumbrotaNews article said it was one ofapproximately 500 new DairyQueens to open throughout thecountry that year and that, “Allthese refreshment establishmentsfeature the famous dairy productwhich is frozen just seconds be-fore it is served.”

Byron Boraas of Zumbrota is agrandson of the Zellers. In addi-tion to his memories of going to

his grandparents’ store as a young-ster, he has a few photos and memo-rabilia from the early days of thestore. He noted how the ZumbrotaHigh School sports team mem-bers were rewarded for their ef-forts. Baseball players received acoupon for hits: a ten-cent ice creamcone for a single; a sundae for adouble; a malt for a triple; and abanana split for a homerun. Dur-ing the early 1960s, the football

team could come in for free maltsafter winning home games. “Ofcourse, the players rarely camealone, so it was good for Grandpa’sbusiness,” Boraas said.

A 1960 Red Wing RepublicanEagle article was written aboutthe Zellers and their business. Init Kenneth Zeller provided someanalysis of his customers: “Thefour- or five-year-old car carry-ing parents and four or five chil-

dren are likely to spend more thanthe big new car’s occupants.” Asale by Edna Zeller was also de-scribed. For $1.85, a girl at theservice window paid for two choco-late shakes, a dime cone, and twobanana splits for her family.

Les Bauer, currently of Richfieldand formerly of Zumbrota, pro-vided information on the previ-ous owners of the Dairy Queen.Besides the Zellers, other ownersor operators include MartinLindenbaum, Verner Hedin, theEischens, and Judd Hewitson.Bauer and Don Lochner boughtthe DQ in the fall of 1973 andopened in February 1974. Bauernoted that unlike the current DQ,the store was not a year-roundoperation, but was open from lateFebruary through October. Bauerand Lochner sold the business toVivian Boyce who held her grandopening in May 1979. In 1981,

Only memories remain of original 1956 DQ building

Several young people enjoy activities and fellowship in the “Fishbowl”in spring of 2013. The former Dairy Queen property was purchased in1995 by Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church and used primarily for youthactivities. The building was recently demolished to make way for buildingexpansion.

Kenneth and Edna Zeller (dressed in white) are in front of their new theDairy Queen Store in 1956. At the time, the store would be open fromMarch until the weather got cold in the fall, typically at the end ofOctober.

This photo from 1960 shows Kenneth and Edna Zeller in their Dairy Queen Store in Zumbrota. The storeopened in 1956 on Highway 52 (now Jefferson Drive).

the DQ was updated with a drive-through and a walk-up windowwas added.25 years for the Buchers

In 1988, the Bucher family –Layne (Bing) and Kathryn and theirchildren Steven and Joan – pur-chased the Dairy Queen. The busi-ness was relocated to a new sharedbuilding with Subway at 215 18thStreet East, with visibility andaccess to Highways 52 and 58.This month the Buchers are cel-ebrating their 25th anniversary withDairy Queen in Zumbrota.

During their ownership, theDairy Queen logo has been modi-fied and so has the restaurant’sconcept, transitioning from the“Brazier” style introduced in the1970s to the “DQ Grill & Chill”full-service model initiated in 2001.

While coupons aren’t handedout for dime cones for baseballhits any longer, the local DQ Grill& Chill continues to support ac-tivities in the community. For ex-ample, Blizzard certificates weredonated to the Zumbrota-MazeppaHigh School for activities such asPositive Behavior Interventionsand Supports (PBIS) program andto local events including the Chemi-cal Health Initiative (CHI) Pizza/Game Day.

The DQ chain of restaurants isowned by International DairyQueen, Inc., which also owns Or-ange Julius and Karmelkorn. Thefirst Dairy Queen store opened in1940 in Joliet, Illinois. Thecompany’s corporate offices arein Edina.The Fishbowl

After Our Saviour’s purchasedthe former Dairy Queen propertyin 1995, the building was namedby the youth as the “Fishbowl,”referring to the biblical “fishersof men.” It not only served as anoutreach for community youth, butwas also used for crafts duringSunday School and summer BibleSchool. Bake and rummage saleswere also held in the building, andfor a time it served as a commu-nity room used by organizationssuch as the Boy Scouts.

Over the years, the buildingbegan to deteriorate but was stillused for youth programs afterschool on Wednesdays and Sun-days. Church secretary Jan Raaschsaid, “The young people loved thebuilding. They were sad to see itgo.”

A crew from ERH Excavatinghas been working to prepare thesite for the building expansion.Pahl & Kaye Construction is thecontractor for the project. Raaschsaid they hope to get the shell upbefore the snow flies.

Pine Island students arelearning archery skills

Pine Island tenth-graders Kaylee Drazan and Hope Krause raise their bows and arrows and take aim at thetargets during physical education class on Tuesday, October 1. Drazan said she really liked the archery unitand would be interested in joining the archery league if it works out.

By Audra DePestelPINE ISLAND – Pine Island

students in ninth and tenth gradewill be spending a couple of weeksduring their physical educationclasses this fall and spring learn-ing how to safely and properlyuse and shoot a bow and arrow.Trained instructors KourtneyAeikens and Zak Hanegraaf willbe teaching the students.

Aeikens was instrumental instarting the program by applyingfor a grant through the MinnesotaDepartment of Natural Resources(DNR) Archery in Schools Pro-gram that was awarded to PineIsland School last spring. The PineIsland AAA Foundation donatedthe $1,600 matching funds neededfor the grant.

The archery equipment PineIsland School received is valuedat over $3,200 and includes tenright-handed and two left-handed

Genesis Bows, five bulls-eye tar-gets, FITA 36” targets, ten dozenaluminum arrows, one backstopnet (for shooting indoors), oneBowhanger set (for bow storage),and a repair kit.

The purpose of the Archery inthe Schools Program is to intro-duce students to archery by pro-viding schools with the best equip-ment, training, and curriculumavailable. It is part of the NationalArchery in the Schools Program(NASP).

To ensure the safety of the stu-dent archers, the classes begin withtwo days of introduction cover-ing safety, equipment care, tech-nique, and basic shooting. Aeikenssaid there has been a lot of posi-tive feedback from the studentswho have participated so far thisfall. She said she feels the pro-gram has been very good for thestudents because it introduces a

new skill using top-of-the-lineequipment that many otherwisewould never have the opportunityto try. “For the majority of thestudents in the program,” Aeikenssaid, “this was their first time shoot-ing a bow and arrow, and it hasbeen a pretty positive experiencefor them and some are even inter-ested in pursuing the sport fur-ther.” Aeikens said archery is asport similar to trap shooting inthat it takes a lot of practice andskill.

Pine Island Middle Schoolteacher Mark Passow said he isalso very supportive of the archeryprogram and is looking into start-ing an archery league this springin conjunction with the Pine Is-land White Pines Sportsman’sClub. Passow was encouraged topursue the idea after many of thestudents said they would be inter-ested in the joining the archeryleague.

Supports KW referendumTo the Editor:

The past two weeks have beenvery interesting for me, to say theleast. I have found myself on theinjured reserve list, after a nastyfall from a horse. I’m not quitesure how it all happened, but I doknow I am not as pliable as I usedto be! So... I have been homeboundfor a while and it has promptedme to do a lot of thinking about allof the little blessings in my life; ofcourse my family is at the top ofthe list. I would be unable to be athome without the help of my hus-band and the attention of our kids.I am grateful for all of the peoplein our community who have helpedus out.

Why am I writing? Well, lastmonth I volunteered to write a shortbit supporting Kenyon-Wanamingo School and the up-coming vote on November 5 whereour local community will be askedto renew a referendum. I was allready to write something smart,

classy, and earth-shaking. I readthe letters by Marilyn Syversonand Karla Bauer and thought tomyself, “Wow, those are reallygood!” I researched and I thought,and I deleted, and I wrote, deleted.Did I mention I had a brain injurywith the fall? It’s all good now;but I am attributing my lack ofwording to that! But then I had anidea: I would write from the heart– cue the picture in your mind,“Well, in Whoville they say, thatthe Grinch’s small heart grew threesizes that day.”

I am fortunate to be involved inour school system by being a mem-ber of our local school board. It isfrom this vantage point I expressmy concern if the referendum isnot renewed. Our system couldbecome unhealthy, thus affectingour student body, staffing, extra-curricular activities, and the com-munity at large. From my experi-ences the past few weeks, we are acommunity that rallies around eachother, we take care of each other,

and we support each other. Notonly from my own experience, butalso from other experiences thathave brought our community to-gether. This overwhelming feel-ing of community and my con-cern for the school is why I willsupport the renewal of the refer-endum on the ballot on Novem-ber 5.

This vote is a renewal of an ex-isting referendum and our localtax dollars will decrease. Therewill be no raise in our local taxdollars. With this said, I will con-tinue to support our school as amember of the school board, amember of our community, and,most importantly, as a parent. Iwant Kenyon-Wanamingo to re-main active, vibrant, smart, andready to prepare our young peopleto be academically prepared andwell-rounded citizens.

KWSchool Board

ZUMBROTA-MAZEPPA SCHOOL BOARD UPDATEPlease take the time to vote in

the referendum election on Tues-day, November 5. Polls will beopen from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at theZumbrota Primary School (K-2building) and the Mazeppa El-ementary School. Prior to Novem-ber 5, please take the time to makean informed decision by attend-ing the informational meeting at6:30 p.m. on October 28 in theZumbrota-Mazeppa High Schoolmedia center. If you are unable toattend this meeting, please con-tact one of the school board mem-bers with your questions.

One question that keeps com-ing up is how much this will costthe average taxpayer? For a homeworth $150,000, the net amountof additional property taxes willbe less than $7/month. For a homeworth $200,000, the net amountof additional property taxes willbe less than $9/month. Also pleaseremember that for those who ownagricultural land the additional taxis based on the home and one acreonly.

The school board is committedto helping the students of our dis-trict have the same opportunitiesfor achievement as their prede-cessors. Each year seems morechallenging than the last in thegoal to provide our students witha balanced curriculum and viableco-curricular activities. Over thepast two years more than $311,000has been cut from our budget inorder to help the school district

avoid an income/expense deficit.At the same time our fund balancehas dropped to a point where wehave less than a week’s worth ofexpenses in reserve.

We need to enhance the incomeside of our ledger in order to main-tain our current curriculum offer-ings, moderate class sizes, and co-curricular programs. For variousreasons related to the State ofMinnesota funding formula forschools, ZM and a number of dis-tricts in southeast Minnesota arein the bottom one-third of stateaid per student. ZM is actuallyranked 311 out of 338 school dis-tricts in the amount of base stu-

dent aid received. This results inour district needing to rely moreon local dollars to operate ourschool.

The ZM School Board mem-bers would also be more than will-ing to schedule informationalmeetings with community orga-nizations and again would be morethan happy to meet with you indi-vidually. Please contact any of theboard members if you would beinterested.

FromDevil’sKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

What should we requirefor the presidency?

I know, as you do, that the Con-stitution of these United Statesdefines the qualifications for aperson to be the President. Lookat other organizations when theyare looking for a new leader. Whiletheir charter may give broad rangeto the qualifications, the actualsearch committee tries to narrowthe range especially if the previ-ous leader developed certain faults.The faults could be traced to inex-perience, to inability, to ignorance,to lack of charm or to too muchcharm.

Maybe we need a set of rules tonarrow the broad constitutionalrange. We also need a set of rulesfor judging the competence of theleader after elected and having as-sumed the office. We need somered flag rules that allow us, thepeople, to declare that the leaderhas lost the way. The followingare some of mine.

First, if a sitting president startsworrying about how history andthe historians are going to judgehis/her time in office, the presi-dent stops leading, and makingdecisions. This is different thanthinking about the future conse-quences of the action. We wantleaders who believe they made the

right decision regardless of how itturns out.

Next is our ability to make andhonor our commitment. When itcomes to war, and we can justifythe war engagement, we shouldcommit to it. Yes, we should de-fine what has to happen to makethe effort a victory. If we can’tjustify or define the end result,then we should not engage. Buthaving made the justification andthe exit strategy, we must committo the end. Occasionally, an en-emy leader is willing to commitregardless of the cost in peopleand wealth. When the kill ratio is100 to 1 or more, we begin to feelguilty. It doesn’t matter that wehave better equipment and bettertrained soldiers. We feel guilty.We shouldn’t! We should pushthrough to the end. Walking awayfrom a war is breaking the com-mitment. How many times do weget to do that before no other coun-try truly believes that we will honorand fulfill our commitments?

We have made commitments tothe “wrong” political side manytimes before and we will prob-ably continue to make such com-mitments in the future. What guide-lines exist for a president to makethe “right” decision? I believe weneed to understand the environ-ment in its terms and not ours. Wewill never bring peace to the MiddleEast until we understand the en-tire environment there. Look atour own American history.

Most of the early settlers wereEnglish citizens; others wereFrench, Dutch, German, Spanish,etc. The thirteen colonies weremostly English. The problem withthe English government was thatwe did not receive the same rightsas the English citizens in England.We “sued” for those rights andwere turned down. If one had takena poll before starting the Revolu-tionary War, you might have beensurprised. Most of the people inthe colonies were against the war.The response of the Crown is whatturned opinions against the Crown.And it wasn’t until after the Warof 1812, that we became friendsand equals with Britain. France,too, was ambivalent with us. Overtime when peace reigned betweenFrance and England, we becamefriends with France.

We now have made many com-mitments around the world. Willwe keep them? Can we afford tobreak them and hide our heads inthe sand? It is time for a new presi-dent who understands commit-ments and honoring them, a presi-dent who is a man of action and atrue leader. It is better to takeaction to meet the threat and thenapologize for not waiting for per-mission than to ask for permis-sion for every unusual action andwhen told no do nothing! Untilnext week.

Firemen’s wives ask for support ofZumbrota Fire DepartmentTo the Editor:

October is Fire PreventionMonth. As wives of firefightersand retired firemen, we are proudof it.

When it’s 95 degrees outsideand most are enjoying the com-forts of air conditioning, the vol-unteers will answer the page, puton some 30 pounds of gear, andgo to the flames and heat.

When it is snowing with a 30°below wind chill, so cold that ahose will freeze to their glovesand it takes two days for the bonechill to go away, they will answerthe page for mutual aid.

When storm clouds gather andthe threat of a tornado is upon us,they will answer the page to goout on a storm watch, in the middleof the night, in the rain.

When it rains so hard that treesgo down and rivers go up, theywill answer the page filling sand-bags, barricading a street, or res-cuing people caught in the water.

When the school calls upon ourfiremen to teach our kids aboutfire prevention and safety, theywill answer the request.

They undergo long training tobe ready 24/7, setting aside theirplans or family meals and regard-less of the weather circumstances,to answer their page. They havemade a huge commitment to putthemselves in harm’s way for thesake of their fellow citizens. Theycontinue to battle fires regardlessof challenges thrown at them byoutside influences.

The Zumbrota Fire Departmentis committed to the City of Zum-brota and surrounding townships.They planned far in advance toreplace aging equipment; and theFire Board members acknowl-edged this need as part of theircommitment to the city and town-ships they were elected to serveby approving the equipment re-quest. The surrounding townshipsset a budget to manage their moneyaccordingly and set the five-yearplan into motion. Nearing six yearsfrom the original Fire Board ap-proval, the city of Zumbrota keepsside-stepping their responsibilityand still has not honored their com-mitment.

A couple of townships have in-

dicated a desire to reduce theirservice area, which would put abigger financial burden on thoseremaining townships, would in-crease their response time andpossibly cause an increase in in-surance rates. This isn’t about specsfor the truck or boundaries of ser-vice; it’s about the city not bud-geting appropriately and not want-ing to fulfill their obligation. Thishas taken a toll in many ways. Wewould urge John Q. Public to ex-press some support for the 125+years of dedication these volun-teers have provided and will con-tinue providing despite this longand drawn-out going-nowhereexchange, and ask your electedofficials to resolve this wranglingbefore more time, expense, andfinger-pointing has elapsed.

Bill O’Reilly of Fox News wroteanother best-selling book called“Killing Jesus.” He said that hewas inspired by God to write it.During a news interview promot-ing the book, he was quizzed aboutGod speaking to him with a hintthat he is a crazy right-wing Chris-tian zealot. He replied that the ideacame to him in his sleep and hedeemed it a divine inspiration, nota conversation in the typical sense.

The sermon this Sunday at St.Paul Lutheran Church in Pine Is-land, implored us to listen for andhear God’s word. The word maycome in many ways. Some regardan enlightening circumstance as amere coincidence. People of faithare inclined to accept these events

as divine. As I step beyond myarea of expertise, I think it’s fairto say we are all instruments ofGod, whether we chose to be ornot. But great things can be ac-complished if we have faith, lis-ten, and serve.

Another best-selling author,Mitch Albom, wrote a book called“Have a Little Faith.” It is anotherterrific book that addresses ser-vice to our fellow man. The bookconcludes that we are our brother’skeeper. Pastor John Lohre seemsto find a way to slip this themeinto every sermon.

This Sunday he briefly supportedhealthcare for all Americans andan end to this nonsense that hasplagued our nation as long as hecan remember. I’m certain somein the parish squirmed a little intheir pews when the pastor chal-lenged their real life judgments. Ilike it. I appreciate that he takes astand and offers a faith-based per-spective for me to contemplate.

As I passed John after the ser-

vice, I shook his hand, smiled, andteased him by saying, “There yougo again.” He smiled back andreplied, “I have my calling andyou have yours.” His commentwas fitting after a sermon in whichhe called on all of us to listen toand serve God.

I struggle with Obamacare — itwas passed haphazardly, it’s bur-densome, and is increasing myhealthcare costs. I wish Republi-cans had earnestly pre-emptedDemocrats by proposing an af-fordable nationwide healthcareplan and worked with Democratson a bill that would serve our na-tion.

On a basic level, I believe weare our brother’s keeper. Jesus saidloving God and your neighbor isthe root of all laws. This is a goodstarting point when making anypolicy decision for a healthy na-tion that values all of its citizens,even one that treasures indepen-dence and self-sufficiency.

City Council is working on an or-dinance to regulate all-terrain ve-hicles (ATVs) and keep their speedsdown. It was incorrectly reportedthat councilman John Adams askedCity Attorney Dick Gorman at theSeptember 25 council meeting toresearch ordinances regardingATVs. It was Tia Schimek whorequested the research. Gormanpresented his findings at the Oc-tober 9 meeting.

He discussed how an ATV or-dinance could read. Actual regu-lations will be decided at the nextcouncil meeting. An ordinance forATVs for the City of Goodhuecould read something like this:

“An ATV is a motorized flota-tion-tired vehicle of not less thanthree low pressure tires, but nomore than six tires, that is limitedin engine displacement of less than800 cubic centimeters and totaldry weight of less than 800 pounds.ATVs may be operated on road-ways, public lands, and public wa-terways only as herein specified.It is unlawful to operate an ATVupon roadways, public land, orpublic waterways as follows: at aspeed in excess of 15 miles perhour, other than single file on aroadway, carelessly or recklessly.It is unlawful to operate an ATVon private property without thepermission or consent of the owneror occupant. It is unlawful for anyperson under the age of 16 yearsof age to operate an ATV on any

public street, public land, or pub-lic waterway in the City ofGoodhue. It is unlawful to oper-ate an ATV on a sidewalk or bou-levard, except that an operator maycross a sidewalk, boulevard, orother right-of-way to obtain ac-cess to a street or alley if suchcrossing is made at an angle ofapproximately 90 degrees to thedirection of the sidewalk, boule-vard, or right-of-way, and providedfurther, that such driver yields theright-of-way to all pedestrian orvehicular traffic which constitutesan immediate hazard. It is unlaw-ful to operate an ATV within thecity limits between the hours of 9p.m. and 7 a.m. It is unlawful tooperate an ATV unless it isequipped with the following: atleast one headlight and one taillight, headlights and tail lightslighted at all times.

By Audra DePestelPINE ISLAND – Common

Good RSVP has partnered withPine Island Home Area Servicesin order to bring Bone Builders toPine Island. Bone Builders is anationally recognized osteoporo-sis prevention and reversal exer-cise program for men and womenof all ages. The class has beenheld two times a week (Tuesdayat 12:30 p.m. and Thursday at 9:30a.m.) since January at the PineIsland Senior Center. It is open tothe public and free of charge.

The program was pioneered inMassachusetts and is based on sev-eral years of academic studies onweight-bearing exercises whichincrease bone density and musclestrength. Other positive effects ofregular light exercise are that itcan lead to decreased risk of heartdisease, improved flexibility, im-proved mobility, enlightenedmood, and better balance which

decreases the likelihood of falls.Pine Island resident volunteers

leading the free classes are PatMapel, Joanne Sanborn, and PatWalter. Mapel leads the class onTuesday at 12:30 p.m. and Sanbornand Walter co-lead the class onThursday mornings at 9:30 a.m.at the Senior Center. VirginiaSearles, who has been participat-ing in the exercise program foralmost two years, said the classesare convenient and help her staylimber and mobile. She said, “Thisprogram is great. I have to exer-cise five days a week or I wouldn’tbe able to walk.” Marita Olsonjust recently joined the Bone Build-ers group to help her stay moti-vated to exercise. Others are en-couraged to join the classes, whichso far have ranged in size from 4-10 people.

Bone Builders programs havebeen going on all across Minne-sota for several years now. The

Catholic Charities Diocese ofWinona has volunteer-led classesin Eagle Lake, Janesville, LakeCrystal, Mapleton, New Richland,St. Charles, Chatfield, Waterville,Faribault, Northfield, and Kenyon,and it’s coming to Red Wing thisfall.

Common Good RSVP Coordi-nator Guthrie Capossela said feed-back from participants has beenvery positive. One individualwrote: “Since joining Bone Build-ers my balance has improved. Ihave more energy. My anklestrength has increased, and my hips,which had lots of pain before join-ing the class, are so much betternow. According to my recent bonescan, I have been upgraded fromosteoporosis to osteopenia!”

Everyone is welcome to attenda class or to contact Capossela at507-287-2047 or email [email protected] for more details.

By Alicia Hunt-WelchMAZEPPA – Fire Chief Bran-

don Goranson attended the Octo-ber 2 Mazeppa City Council meet-ing to discuss the timeline for sub-mitting specifications for the pro-cess to obtain bids for a new pumpertruck. Information was shared re-garding a cooperative group in-volving various fire departmentsthat could possibly result in morecompetitive bids. The city wouldneed to enter into a joint powersagreement with this consortiumto participate in the process.

One of the concerns was that ifthe accepted bid came from a trucksupplier that was several statesaway, travel expenses for servic-ing the truck could be costly. MayorBob Beniak said prior to accept-ing bids, the department could in-quire if a service provider wasavailable in our area. CouncilmanScott Parker asked Goranson ifthe department was certain theywanted to use the coop group.Goranson said more informationwould be helpful before deciding.City Administrator Duane Hof-schulte said he could provide alist of other fire departments inthe region who have participatedin the joint powers group for bid-ding.Rumor of MFD coveringZumbrota Township

Goranson also asked the coun-cil if they had approved any ac-tion for the Mazeppa Fire Depart-ment to cover areas of ZumbrotaTownship that were served by theZumbrota Fire Department. Sev-eral members of the fire depart-ment and the council had read inthe Rochester paper that Mazeppawas now taking over calls in Zum-brota Township. Goranson saidno one has spoken to him about it.He also checked with the neces-sary authorities, and the mappingborders have not been changed. Itwas determined that neither the

MFD nor the city council had takenany action to approve the additionto their coverage area, and it couldall be speculation at this point.

During the month of Septem-ber the Mazeppa Fire Departmentresponded to four fire calls andfour medical calls. The membersalso participated in two trainings.Policing report

Deputy Joe Modjeski presentedthe city council with the monthlyincident report. During Septem-ber the Wabasha County Sheriff’sOffice responded to four trafficviolations, three reports of suspi-cious activity, two thefts, two as-saults, two civil matters, two dam-age to property complaints, twodisorderly conducts, two harass-ment/theft complaints, two liquorviolations, a medical call, an ani-

mal complaint, one sex offense, areport of sudden death, a 911 hang-up call, a request to file a report,and a request to check on the wel-fare of an individual.Other business

Public Works Director LarryZielsdorf said that during the pastmonth the department has hauledsludge from the wastewater treat-ment plant. Seasonal fire hydrantflushing has also begun.

Hofschulte requested the cityattorney draft a generic letter re-garding no parking of semi truckson city streets. Occasionally a semiis parked and the driver needs tobe informed. In the past, semi park-ing was only allowed near Turbo’sRepair when trucks needed to beserviced. Now that Turbo’s hasmoved to their new location near

WanamingoWanamingo to consider optionsfor repainting street linesBy Alicia Hunt-Welch

WANAMINGO – On October7 the Wanamingo City Councildiscussed options for painting stan-dard and handicap parking lineson the streets and curbs. The citydoes not have a machine for thistype of work; therefore, they lookedat the estimated costs of buyingone, renting or borrowing one, orhiring a contractor to do the work.

Councilor Jamie Majerus saidthat after the memo went out aboutthe parking lines she looked aroundthe city and would agree lines doneed to be repainted. She suggestedmore accurate quotes be obtainedon the options and brought to thecouncil for action. The projectwould likely be scheduled for 2014.

The council also discussed paint-ing the metal grates that were addedto the sideway corner ramps overthe summer. No decisions weremade at this time.

Grants that may be available forcommunity/downtown revitaliza-tion projects were also brieflytalked about.Online GIS agreement extended

The city extended their contractwith Goodhue County for its Geo-graphic Information System (GIS)services. The county maintains adatabase detailing parcels, roads,mapping and property informa-tion that is available online. Thecity pays $1,200 per year to par-ticipate in the user group. CityAdministrator Michael Boultonsaid he accesses the system everywork day. The public also has ac-

cess to the online system.Past due fees to be chargedcertified on property taxes

The council took action to havedelinquent bills charged to per-sonal property taxes. For two prop-erties that were unmaintained andmowed by the city, charges in theamounts of $201 and $41 will becertified with the county auditorto reflect on property taxes pay-able in 2014. The same action wasapproved for delinquent city util-ity bills for four property owners.The past due utility charges owedto the city were $507.96, $309.33,$319.74, and $463.45 from thefour property owners.Veterans Memorial prohibitions

An ordinance will be amendedto add the Wanamingo VeteransMemorial to the areas prohibitedfrom the riding of bicycles,rollerblades and skateboards. Thecouncil conducted the first read-ing of amended Ordinance 71.09B.The second reading, and consid-eration for final approval, will beheld at the November 18 councilmeeting. Currently the Main Streetarea is off limits to these kinds ofrecreational activities in the ordi-nance.

The Wanamingo VeteransHonor Guard and the VFW re-quested that the city permanentlyfly the POW/MIA flag under theAmerican flag on the pole nearcity hall. The two organizationshave agreed to provide the citywith these flags when replacementis needed in the future.

Building permits were approved

for Ed and Teresa Saxton for re-roofing, Jeff Sjoblom for a deck,Luke Swanson for a garage, RandySchaefer for plumbing, DebraMarquardt for re-siding, and JoshRevland for re-roofing.Public Works report

Public Works director SteveHaggstrom said that during thelast month he and coworker MontySchaefer painted benches and re-paired screens at the Riverside Parkshelter. The shelter screens havebeen replaced several times in re-cent years due to vandalism andwear. Haggstrom said he is look-ing into the cost of a more durablematerial to put on the shelter nextyear, in addition to putting up cam-eras in the park. The shorelinearound the fishing pier at the parkis eroding. They placed varioussized rocks around that area toprevent the shore from washingaway.

An exhaust fan was installed atthe pool. If time allows, this yearthey plan to install an eye washstation outside of the pool chemi-cal room. The streets in the Prai-rie Ridge residential developmentwere swept and speed bumps wereremoved from 2nd Ave for thewinter. Minor repairs were madeat the well house and the watertreatment plant.

GoodhueGoodhue approves employee healthinsurance flexible spending accountBy Tara Chapa

GOODHUE – On October 9,the Goodhue City Council revis-ited the subject of providing healthinsurance or additional fundingfor health insurance costs for cityemployees. Mayor Kerry Bien said“We have great employees and Ido not want to lose them due tolack of health insurance options.”

City Clerk Lori Agre presentedmultiple plans from MnSURE’swebsite. Plans range from a 70/30percent plan (70% coverage and30% out-of-pocket expenses) toan 80/20 percent plan. Costs rangefrom $271.26 to $361.96. Cur-rently, the city pays an extra $1.25an hour which amounts to $217 amonth that goes toward insurancecosts. The $1.25 an hour actuallycosts the city $2.50 an hour by thetime the city pays the PERA (PublicEmployees Retirement Associa-tion) and FICA.

Bien recommended the city put$350 a month into a pre-tax flex-ible spending account to be usedfor health insurance premiums and/or health insurance related costs(such as co-pays or prescriptionmedication). This benefit wouldbe for full-time employees, Biensaid, and would be reviewed an-nually.

The council approved having$350 a month go into a pre-taxaccount for full-time employeeswhile also eliminating the $1.25an hour currently going towardinsurance costs.Verizon payments overdue

There has been discussion pre-viously at multiple Goodhue CityCouncil meetings regardingVerizon owing the city a sum ofmoney that is overdue. City At-torney Dick Gorman said the

amount owed is $17,000.The reason for the cost is Verizon

wanted to be placed on a new tower.The city incurred additional engi-neering and construction costs toaccommodate their request to beon a new tower.

Verizon had agreed to a newlease and to pay all extra costsinvolved with their request. Theyinitially paid the engineer part ofthe cost, but have not paid for con-struction or other related costs.

Gorman said he contactedVerizon after they did not pay in2012 but did not receive a response.Verizon is in the initial stages ofblacktopping the road in front ofthe new tower. Because the roadconnects to a city street, they mayneed to enter into another agree-ment with the city. Before doingthat, the council asked Gorman tofollow up with Verizon about theirpast due bill.Update on regrading project

A letter was written to theGoodhue City Council dated Oc-tober 7, 2013 from John Schuellerof Goodhue County Public Works.It stated that the county would liketo update Goodhue on the statusof their upcoming project adja-cent to Goodhue’s property onCounty State Aid Highway(CSAH) 6. The road will be re-graded between CSAH 9 andCSAH 1 during the constructionseason of 2014 and a separate con-tract will be let in 2015 for thefinal surfacing.

At a public meeting held a fewmonths ago at the Goodhue CountyPublic Works Office, the countyexplained the plans that had beendeveloped to that point and thenbriefly went over the next step,which is the acquisition process.

Currently, the county is in the

stage of reviewing the final drain-age and is developing the plansheets for the project. The countyanticipates having the majority ofthe work completed in the nextfew months and is far enough alongin the process to establish the pre-liminary takings necessary forconstruction.

At the meeting a few monthsago, the county mentioned theywill be requesting to acquire someareas on a permanent basis andthe remainder will only be tempo-rary use during the period of con-struction. The county has con-tracted with Blekre Appraisal Ser-vices, LLC of Rochester to per-form an independent appraisal toestablish a value for the area theyare requesting to purchase/rentfrom Goodhue. Once that infor-mation comes back, the countywill contact Goodhue for a pre-sentation of an offer to purchase.Gibson Sanitation

After two weeks of thinkingabout Gibson Sanitation’s proposalof new garbage cans, the councilvoted to approve entering into anew contract with Gibson. But thecouncil made a stipulation statingthey wanted to know what wouldhappen after five years of billingan additional $2 per month to cus-tomers, as the garbage cans wouldthen be paid in full and owned byGibson.Miscellaneous updates

The updates on the donatedGoodhue squad car are nearingcompletion. The car was sched-uled to be finished by October 14.

Paperwork on the new Goodhuerestaurant has been held up withthe Department of Health but res-taurant owner Mitzi Bjork said shehopes to be up and running byDecember.

Each year in Minnesota, morethan half of the teenagers killed inautomobile accidents were notbuckled up. There were 102 teenvehicle occupant deaths from 2010through 2012 and only 42 werebelted.

“Teenagers are at greatest riskon the road due to their drivinginexperience and their low seatbelt compliance,” said GordyPehrson, DPS Office of TrafficSafety Youth Programs Coordi-nator. “Parents must reinforce thattheir teens belt up, and we needteens to be the voice of reason in avehicle to remind other passen-gers to buckle up.”Click It or Ticket enforcement

Nearly 400 Minnesota agencieswill be increasing patrols to en-courage motorists to buckle upduring the campaign. In a similarcampaign in May, 10,342 motor-ists were ticketed for seat belt vio-lations.

Unbelted motorists continue torepresent a significant amount ofMinnesota’s traffic fatalities, es-pecially in Greater Minnesota. Inthe last three years on Minnesotaroads (2010-2012):

• 852 motorists died in crashes,of which 361 (42 percent) werenot buckled up.

• 171 (49 percent) of the 361unbelted deaths were motorists

ages 16–29. • 302 (84 percent) of the 361

unbelted deaths occurred outsidethe seven-county Twin Cities metroarea.

“The goal of seat belt enforce-ment is to encourage motorists tomake safe decisions,” says DonnaBerger, DPS Office of TrafficSafety Director. “When a motor-ists is not buckled up, a crash thatcould have resulted in minor or noinjuries can turn into somethingserious and deadly.”Drivers and passengersmust be belted

In Minnesota, drivers and pas-sengers in all seating positions,including in the back seat, are re-quired to be buckled up or seatedin the correct child restraint. Of-ficers will stop and ticket unbelteddrivers or passengers. Seat beltsmust be worn correctly — lowand snug across the hips; shoul-der straps should never be tuckedunder an arm or behind the back.

In a crash, odds are six timesgreater for injury if a motorist isnot buckled up.

In rollover crashes, unbeltedmotorists are usually ejected fromthe vehicle. In most cases, the ve-hicle will roll over the ejectedmotorist. Often, unbelted motor-ists will crack teeth out on steer-ing wheels or break their noses,

and even slam into and injure orkill others in the vehicle.

Minnesota Child Car Seat Lawand Steps statute requires childrenunder age eight to ride in a feder-ally approved car seat or booster,unless the child is 4 feet 9 inchesor taller. Here are the restraint stepsa child should progress throughas they age and grow:

• Rear-facing infant seats —Newborns to at least one year and20 pounds; recommended up toage two. It is safest to keep a childrear-facing as long as possible.

• Forward-facing toddler seats— Age two until the child hasoutgrown the size/weight limit.Keep a child in this restraint aslong as possible.

• Booster seats — Use whenhearing outgrown a forward-fac-ing harnessed restraint; safest toremain in a booster until 4 feet 9inches tall, or at least age eight.Boosters help seat belts fit prop-erly and are the law in Minnesota.

• Seat belts — A child is readyfor an adult seat belt when theycan sit with their back against thevehicle seat, knees bent comfort-ably and completely over the ve-hicle seat edge without slouch-ing, and feet touching the floor.Children 4 feet 9 inches tall ortaller can correctly fit in a lap/shoulder belt.

CountyBob Dylan rockumentary coming to Crossings

ZUMBROTA – Justin Ploof andThe Throwbacks return to Zum-brota for another fabulousrockumentary concert, this timefeaturing one of Minnesota’s mu-sical native sons – Bob Dylan.Crossings brings “Dylan: Underthe Covers,” to the State Theatreon Saturday, October 19, at 7:30p.m.

Crossings first brought in thetribute band to perform CreedenceClearwater Revival songs in No-vember, to a rousing response. Thegroup presents its signature“rockumentary” show, completewith vintage footage and briefnarration to accompany the mu-sic of legendary artists.

Many of Dylan’s most widelyknown songs date from the 1960sand seemed not only to chronicle,but sometimes presage the eventsof the revolutionary decade. Whilehe performed with his strangelycompelling nasal tone, many ofDylan’s songs became hits for othergroups. The Throwbacks remaintrue to that tradition and will bringnumerous guest artists onstage toperform as The Byrds, ManfredMann, The Turtles, Johnny Cash,Peter, Paul & Mary, Jimi Hendrix,

Eric Clapton, George Harrison andmore.

The core group, Justin Ploof,Jason Ploof, and Dan Ploof have amultitude of professional musicexperience and have shared thestage with the likes of Soul Asy-lum, Bobby Vee, Joan Jett, andJessie Lang! Their incredible at-tention to detail and quality ofmusicianship will wow audiencesfrom the first chord. They work toemulate the songs the way the art-ists meant for them to be per-formed.

Tickets are $22 in advance; $25at the door. To reserve tickets, call507-732-7616, visit www.crossingsatcarnegie.com or stop in toCrossings at 320 East Avenue inZumbrota.

Minnesota Energy Resources warns of utility scamMinnesota Energy Resources is

spreading the word about a na-tionwide attempt by scammersposing as utility company employ-ees. In the scam, callers have beencontacting small businesses andresidential energy customers de-manding payment for a variety ofreasons including past due bills ormetering issues. Minnesota En-ergy Resources’ sister subsidiaryof Integrys Energy Group, Wis-consin Public Service, has reportednumerous instances in which cus-tomers were called by scammers.A few have made payment.

While reports indicate that thescam has been primarily confinedto electric utilities, with colderweather approaching the threat ofdisconnection of natural gas couldsurface.

The scammers are using tech-nology that will fraudulently in-dicate on caller ID that they arerepresentatives of the local util-ity. They demand payment withinhours or service will be terminated.Customers are told to purchaseprepaid debit cards or Green Dotcards, and then call back to makepayment by giving the scammerthe account numbers of the pur-chased card.

Minnesota Energy Resourceswill never ask for a prepaid cardas payment for any reason.

Threats of immediate discon-nection are a sign that customers

might have been contacted by ascammer. To confirm suspicions,customers should follow these tipsand report the behavior:

• Calmly write down any infor-mation the caller provides to you.Take note of the call date and time,caller ID, a description of the callerand any details revealed to you bythe caller.

• DO NOT provide any privateinformation or banking informa-tion.

• Contact your utility to verifyif this was a legitimate call.

• If not, call the police to reportthe scam.

DNR QUESTION OF THE WEEKQ: What does the DNR do with

animals that are taken illegally(poached)?

A: For those animals that aretaken illegally, the DNR tries toensure that the animal poached isnot wasted. Meat from illegallyharvested wild game such as deeris often donated to food shelvesand other groups that serve thoseless fortunate. However, some-times meat must be thrown awayor destroyed. This has been espe-

cially true for fish. The DNR hasan agreement with the MinnesotaDepartment of Health to disposeof meat, such as pre-packaged fishfillets, because it is often hard totell whether or not the packagingwas done properly. In some cases,the animal or bird, or parts of theanimal, such as deer antlers, areturned over to schools and othereducational institutions for study.

THE CHURCH CORNER

Adventures in prayerBy Pastor Art OlsonFamily Worship ChurchZumbrota

This took place in a series ofevents when the pastor at LandsLutheran Church asked me to rep-resent him at the Gideons pastorsbanquet in 1979. As a result ofthis, a Gideon state representativeconvinced me to join the Gideonministry with the Red Wing camp.The Gideon ministry team trainedme in the ministry by taking me tovisit inmates at the Red Wing jail,the Minnesota Correctional Facil-ity, to conduct church speakingassignments, and to conduct anursing home Bible study.

The Gideon who was teachingthe nursing home Bible study whowas nearly 90 years old said tome, “You need to take over thisministry because I can no longerdo it.” He had started this minis-

try in 1975. Therefore, I took overhis nursing home Bible study inthe 1980s. I was still relativelyinexperienced and had the surpriseof my life as I was doing a teach-ing on the “prayer of agreement”from Matthew 18:19, 20: “AgainI say unto you, that if two of youshall agree on earth as touchinganything that they shall ask, it shallbe done for them of my Fatherwhich is in heaven. For where twoor three are gathered together inmy name, there am I in the midstof them.”

At the end of the teaching, ev-eryone left the room except forone person. This person said thather niece had disappeared and shehad not heard from her for morethan six months. Her niece hadleft with a man and gone to Mexico.Before I had a chance to think

about that, I said to her, “Wouldyou like to pray the prayer of agree-ment that your niece will give youa call?” She said, “Yes.” So weprayed together and she went backto her room and I went home.

When I came into the nursinghome the next week, this lady wassitting there waiting for me with abig smile on her face. She told methat as she was coming into herroom after we had prayed, the tele-phone was ringing. It was her niececalling her to say she was OK.

I conduct a prayer and healingservice on Wednesday evenings.Recently, I had one person attendwho had had no contact with herdaughter for about five years. Weprayed the prayer of agreementthat her daughter would contacther. That prayer was answeredthe very same week!

Goodhue wins second straight gameBy Faye Haugen

GOODHUE - With Section 1Aplayoffs beginning on Tuesday,the Goodhue football team gainedsome momentum by winning theirsecond straight game on Friday,with a 20-7 victory over FillmoreCentral in Goodhue. The Wild-cats move to 3-4 on the season.

The Cats set the tone early, scor-ing a pair of touchdowns in theopening quarter, Riley Huemannrushed in from the one and theconversion pass from Jacob Paschto Huemann put Goodhue up 8-0.They scored again just before theend of the quarter on a 10-yardpass from Tyler Schumacher toSam McNamara.

Fillmore Central took advantageof a Goodhue fumble in the thirdquarter. The ball was stripped outof the hands of quarterback TylerSchumacher with the ball bounc-ing right into the hands of MontyHolm who rushed the ball in fromthe 15.

Goodhue mounted a late drivein the fourth quarter, capping thegame with a 13-yard pass fromSchumacher to McNamara for the20-6 final score.

The Wildcats rolled up 290 yardsof offense to the Falcons’ 157.Tyler Schumacher was 17 of 25passing for 170 yards, two touch-downs and one interception. Ri-ley Huemann gained 42 yards on17 carries to lead the Goodhueground attack. Alex Thomfordemade 14 receptions for 144 yards.

Goodhue will close out regularseason play at Rushford-Petersonon Wednesday. RP has a 5-2 overallrecord and is coming off a 21-13win over Wabasha-Kellogg. Sec-tion 1A playoffs begin on Tues-day.

GOODHUE – Week threeleaves four of the five teams readyfor the MEA break in Goodhuecoed volleyball. Injuries, whetherphysical or mental, have takentheir toll on an always agingleague for the first time in re-cent history.

But, we were still able to picksome great individual perfor-mances for our Man and Womenof the Week.

Shane Matthees set a personalbest with seven ace serves, whiledefensively producing 11 blocks.“Let’s face it. I am still this good!”Shane said while flexing smartly.“I can help even this team lookgood.”

Dawn Tipcke gathered 46 digs,including a backwards falling dig-dive, on her way to the women’shonors.

“ You know, I may be theoldest living female still playingcoed volleyball in Minnesota, butI still can produce results like ahigh school jockette!”

The visibly upset KaBooMTstar has been ridiculed for mak-ing more comebacks than BrettFavre. Unfairly ridiculed, accord-ing to the committee.

Nice job, Dawn and Shane.Keep up the strong effort!Fab 5 Coed Volleyball Standings

Now that we have a weekunder our belt, we have settledinto the ruts we developed in yearsgone by. Some are good ruts.Some are not. But we keep play-ing, because the Federal Gov-ernment has deemed us ‘Essen-tial.”

Once again, Dar’s has pro-duced a weekly star. BonnieO’Reilly, set, served and fed herteammates to six quick wins. Sheestablished a new team recordby reaching 189 consecutive goodserves.

“I didn’t even know I wasclose. And it means more that Iwas able to do it while we keptwinning! It doesn’t get muchbetter than this! I think I’m go-ing to Mickey’s Okabena World!”Nice job on your Woman of theWeek award, Bonnie!
