and of course, wonderful marches.

The Fridley Old Time Band (for-merly known as the Fridley Ger-man Band) is a small group en-semble made up of members fromthe larger group. Their selectionof music is mostly polkas andwaltzes, and because of that, theyfeature a non-traditional band in-strument the accordion.

Brio Brass dazzled the audienceand was a big hit in 2012 withtheir swing and jazzrenditions. Their lead trumpet playsin the style of Doc Severinsen,hitting high notes at the very topend of the instrument range. Ifyou love jazz, you wont want tomiss this performance!

Two small ensembles will playbetween the larger groups. TheRochester Flute Choir will givethe audience a chance to see andhear seldom seen and rare instru-ments: the concert flute, piccolo(half the size of the concert fluteand plays one octave higher), thebass flute (twice the size of theconcert flute and plays one octavelower and is curved so players can

reach the keys) and the alto flute

(halfway between the concert fluteand bass flute in size and may alsobe curved). ZBrass, a quintet madeup of members of the ZumbrotaCommunity Band, describes theirstyle of music as eclectic, includ-ing sacred, classical, pop, folk, rockand polka.

Each large group will take thestage for 45 minutes followed by15-minute interludes by the smallerensembles. A mass band concertof four marches at the end willallow each director to take a turnat the podium directing. The con-cert programs is as follows:

Midwest Dairy Association isa non-profit organization fundedby dairy farmers to build demandfor dairy products through inte-grated marketing, nutrition edu-cation and research. Midwest Dairyis funded by checkoff dollars fromdairy farmers in a 10-state region,including Minnesota, North Da-kota, South Dakota, Nebraska,Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas,Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma.

The butter sculpting booth (inthe Dairy Building) is a Minne-sota State Fair exhibit sponsoredby Midwest Dairy Associationthrough its nearly 4,000 dairy farm-ers. On opening day of the StateFair, the newly crowned PrincessKay of the Milky Way has herlikeness carved. The sculptingcontinues throughout the fair withthe other Princess Kay finalists.A complete butter sculpture takes

about six hours to complete. Eachsculpture is carved from a 90-poundblock of Grade A butter, which isproduced exclusively for this ac-tivity by Associated Milk Produc-ers, Inc. (AMPI), in New Ulm.Butter sculpting at the State Fairwas initiated to highlightMinnesotas claim as the buttercapital of the nation.

Various butter sculptures werefeatured at the Minnesota StateFair from 1898 through 1927. In1965, the American Dairy Asso-ciation of Minnesota began its tra-dition of having the likenesses ofdairy princesses sculpted in but-ter, and constructed the originalbooth. In 2008, a new butter-sculpt-ing booth was unveiled, which ismore energy efficient and two feetlarger than the previous booth,offering a better view. The tem-perature inside the rotating butterbooth is 40F.

Midwest Dairy Associationhelps to sponsor butter sculptingat several other state fairs in its 10states, but sculpting in front offair-goers using a live model isunique to Minnesota.

FromDevilsKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

Old joke

Do you know the differencebetween a developer and an envi-ronmentalist? The developer wantsto develop 80 acres and is willingto have other developers do thesame. The environmentalist hasalready developed his 80 acres anddoesnt want any more developednow. The claim of climate changeis We have to stop putting car-bon products into the air. This isfollowed closely by, We have tostop NOW! These statementscan be translated to,Ive got mycivilization, stop what youre do-ing! No more coal mines, nomore burning of coal and oil. Letthe Earth recover! Have you no-ticed that consumption of poweris a necessary part of our civiliza-tion and other countries?

As other nations move up thedevelopment scale, their demandand consumption of energy arerising. No nation is going to will-ingly stop trying to grow and thenregress to a third-world status. Itis past time to stop looking at the

causes and begin developing thereal fixes. Even if we stopped allproduction of carbon, it would take

years to return the Earths envi-ronment to pre-1900. It wouldtake at least 114 years, probably200 to 400 years to naturally letthe environmental conditions re-turn to that era. It means 90+% ofthe worlds population dies in thenext five years! It means ourmobility as a world is over. Citiesof millions will return to just athousand or so. The world economycollapses. In short, the reign ofhumans on this planet is over, done,finished!

Lets try a different approach.Technology got us into this mess;lets use technology to get us out.Stop looking at the causes andsaying that we have to stop doingthose things; we cant stop. Whatis the problem? We have releasedcarbon that was removed from theatmosphere millions of years ago.The small increase of carbon (lessthan 1% of the atmosphere) canbe set back without ending worldcivilization. The three biggest gasesthat cause our atmosphere to heatup are carbon dioxide, carbonmonoxide, and methane. Our so-lution must break apart the car-bon from the oxygen and hydro-gen. We can bury the carbon oruse it to make carbon products.We need the oxygen and hydro-gen.

We can make a variety of car-bon products today. Buckyballs,nanotubes, industrial diamonds,

monofilament carbon wire are justa few of the things we can makewith todays technology. We needmore efficient wind generators thatare cheaper and easier to main-tain. Nuclear energy has not livedup to its expectation of being aclean, cheap, safe energy source.Coal, oil, and gas (methane-seeabove) are dirty in that all threeproduce carbon products. Theother part of the problem with thebig three is that they also con-tain other elements, and many aredeadly by-products in our envi-ronment, the real dirt!

Let the rich folks (see last weekscolumn) spend some of the tril-lions of dollars developing thesesolutions and we can restore ourplanets environment quickly andin our lifetime. We can do it if wereally want to. The few will saveour civilization and we can con-tinue to grow. Thats no joke. Untilnext week.

Whenenough isreally enoughTo the Editor:

Should the citizens of WabashaCounty tolerate CommissionerSpringers disrespectful and in-appropriate behavior towardsCommissioner Roschen? Whyhasnt Springer publicly apolo-gized to Mr. and Mrs. Roschen,Mr. and Mrs. Furst and to theWabasha Citizens for his taste-less behavior?

Should Springer resign his po-sition on the board for his abuseof office and inept leadership?Would his behavior be toleratedby his current employer in the pri-vate sector? Will the board reallyremain apathetic or will they wake-up and vehemently encourageSpringers resignation?

Can the interim administratorreally be impartial and enforce the

county policies in this situation.Must a member of the board sus-tain serious harm before correc-tive action is taken? Has Springerssexist and harassing behavior to-ward the Fursts and Roschensplaced Wabasha County taxpay-ers in a position of financial li-ability?

Should any degree of collateraldamage to taxpayers really be tol-erated? Are we willing to stand upand say, Enough really is enough,and demand he stop wasting ourmoney and bringing shame to ourcounty?

Maybe its time individual boardmembers be financially respon-sible, and not the taxpayers forimpudent and inappropriate be-havior!

What do Wabasha County citi-zens really stand for?

Returning to hisroots is importantto Gus Bradley

By Faye HaugenZUMBROTA Thirty years ago

when Paul Casey Bradley walkedacross the gym floor to receive hisdiploma at Zumbrota High School,he wasnt sure where lifes pathwould take him. He knew he wasgoing to North Dakota State Uni-versity to play football and that heliked sports.

When Gus (his nickname to fam-ily and friends) was in third gradehis greatest desire was to play inthe National Football League, butas a college freshman he set a coursein business administration. Play-ing free safety for the Bison, NDSUwon three NCAA Division II titles(1985, 1986 and 1988). Just fivecredits away from earning his de-gree, Bradleys football coachasked if he would be interested inbeing a graduate assistant the nextseason. But he would also need toget his physical education degreeto join the football coaching staff.

I was interested in coaching,so I finished by getting a doublemajor and started coaching the nextseason, said Bradley who is nowthe head coach of the NationalFootball Leagues JacksonvilleJaguars. Bradley will be the GrandMarshal of Saturdays CoveredBridge Festival Parade that be-gins at 6 p.m. down Main Street.

Bradley worked four seasons forthe Bison, earning his Masters De-gree in athletic administration in1992. He accepted the position ofdefensive coordinator/linebackerscoach at Fort Lewis College inDurango, Colorado in 1992, be-coming their head coach in De-cember of 1995. Before he couldcoach his first game, NDSU came

calling and he returned to Fargo,joining the Bison as the defensivecoordinator. He rose to assistanthead coach and held that positionuntil he was hired to join the TampaBay Buccaneers in the NFL in 2006as their defensive quality controlcoach. He was promoted to line-backers coach in 2007.

In early 2009, fellow coachMonte Kiffin recommended Bra-dley to the Seattle Seahawks forthe defensive coordinator position.While with the Seahawks, Brad-ley saw his defensive unit rise tobe one of the best units in the league.Seattle won the Super Bowl lastyear using their stingy defense towhip Denver. That defensive unitwas one that Bradley had a strong

hand in building.In January of 2013, Bradley took

another step in his coaching ca-reer, becoming the head coach ofat Jacksonville. He won his firstgame in November when the Jagsbeat Tennessee 29-27. The teamfinished with a 4-12 record.

Despite his rise as an NFL headcoach, Bradley still has a lot ofZumbrota in him. I have so manygood memories. The high schoolexperience, all the games weplayed, classmates. But I havegood memories from all of theplaces Ive been, from Colorado,NDSU, Tampa Bay, Seattle. Allof it was good. Ive been fortu-nate to live and play in good cit-ies, Bradley remarked from his

home in Jacksonville.Bradley credits his parents,

Gloria and Roy for keeping himdown to earth. They were mybiggest influences. They told meto never forget my roots. And Ihavent. Respecting the commu-nity is one of the reasons that Bra-dley returns to Zumbrota this week-end. This community gave meso much when I was here. Myparents and the community shapedme into who I am, said the 1984Zumbrota graduate.

Worried that he would changewith all the trappings of the NFL,one of his coaches urged Bradleyto be true to himself. When peoplewould ask me for my autograph itjust felt so egotistical to me. PeteCarroll told me that if you stopand give 10 seconds of happinessto someone, why wouldnt you dothat. That made it easier for me.Another coach said to just be genu-ine, true to yourself and be humble.Zumbrota is a genuine place and Icredit the people of Zumbrota forinstilling this in me. These are alllittle lessons of life and Im learn-ing all the time.

Juggling coaching and familytime is Bradleys biggest struggle.There are a lot of obligations. Icould be gone every night. Butthat isnt fair to my family, notedthe father of four. Carter (14), Anna(12), Eli (10) and Ella (6) are allinvolved in sports which keepsBradley and his wife Michaelabusy on weekends. Jacksonvillesmini-camp begins on Monday andcontinues through Thursday. Bra-dley will leave for Minnesota onFriday and return to Florida onSunday. The rest of the Bradleyfamily will be heading to Wash-ington to visit friends for the week.

We have been promising the kidsthat we would go back to Seattleso they could visit their friendsand it works out great that theycan go this week. Its good for mein that I can get back to Zumbrotaand see Mom.

Bradley pointed out that the bestpart of his job is meeting newpeople. Ive had the chance tomeet a lot of great people. RickPitino stopped by at practice re-cently, as did Brian Urlacher. Wehad some really good discussions.But I still get to see people I know.A home game hasnt gone by wheresomeone from Seattle, Tampa Bay,my family or friends havent stayedat our home. Every game day some-one is here and we really enjoy

that, Bradley pointed out.Brothers Scott, Pat and Kelly

and sisters Lynn and Jody and theirfamilies all have made the trip southfor games in Jacksonville. Gus isclosest to Kelly since only twoyears separate the two of them.Kelly and I talk and email eachother a lot. We are still pretty close.He likes to come down before theseason starts and go to practice,said Gus.

For the first time in over 10 years,Gus will not be headed to the fam-ily cabin in Park Rapids for a va-cation. There just isnt enough time,so he plans on enjoying his stay inZumbrota this weekend.

I may have to go out and huntnight crawlers with a flashlight

on Friday night. That will take meback to my roots, he laughed.

After nearly 60 years on Zumbrotas Main Street,Lois Lerfald still has no plans to retire

Lois Lerfald has only had four employers while working nearly 60 yearson Zumbrotas Main Street. Steve Matthees at Matthees Midtown Shellhas been her employer since July 2007. The business, located at thenorthwest corner of the intersection of Main and Fifth Streets in downtownZumbrota, is the same location where she began working for RobertSeely at Zumbrota Motors on October 8, 1954.

By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA Not many

people can say they are workingin the same town where they be-gan their career nearly six decadesago. Even fewer can say they haveworked on the same street or areworking at the same location wherethey started. Though Lois Lerfald

had two short absences during herlong career, you will find her work-ing 25 hours a week at MattheesMidtown Shell and Food Mart atthe corner of Main and Fifth Streetsin Zumbrota the same site whereshe started working on October 8,1954.

Lerfald (maiden name Lange)was raised on a farm by Racineand graduated from StewartvilleHigh School on June 4, 1954. Bythat time she was already datingher future husband, Clinton Lerfaldof Zumbrota. The couple met at adance in Racine.

Though Lerfald had missed fivemonths of her sophomore year ofhigh school due to polio, and spenttime at the Sister Kenny Instituterehabilitating, she still did well

with her studies and graduated ontime with her classmates. One classshe excelled in was bookkeeping.

Clinton was working for AceFuros at Zumbrota Motors andknew of a bookkeeping positionthat would be available when Rob-ert Seely would take over the busi-ness in October. Bob bought thebusiness October 1 and I startedwork October 8. He took a chancehiring me. I was only 18 yearsold. He always remained myfriend, she said as she recalledSeelys visits to her years laterduring a hospitalization.

Clinton got a job with MnDOTin Albert Lea in 1957, and Loisand Clinton got married in 1958.Clint always said he wouldntget married until he had a decentjob, Lois explained of the long

courtship. Though the Lerfaldslived in Albert Lea for five years,Lois periodically came back to

Zumbrota to help Seely out. Insome situations, Seely traveled toAlbert Lea as was the case in De-cember 1959 when the Lerfaldsson, Jeff, was born and the year-end financial reports neededcompletion. While living in AlbertLea, Lois also worked at DonNorton Ford, receiving the job with

Seelys recommendation.In 1963, the Lerfalds moved back

to Zumbrota after MnDOT trans-ferred Clinton to the area. Loisreturned to working at Bob SeelyFord on a part-time basis. She alsoworked part-time for the Forddealerships in Stewartville andAlbert Lea, working primarily onmonthly financial statements.Move on Main Street

In 1967, Bob Seely Ford movedsouth, from its 448 Main Streetdowntown site to 1660 Main Street,a location near Highway 52. Loismade the move with the business.She said the property had previ-ously been part of a farm ownedby her father-in-law, Peder Lerfald.Clinton was born on the farm thatnow includes the highway and a

busy business area.In March 1968, Lerfald beganworking on a full-time basis. In1980, Perry Weeks took over own-ership, though the business name(Bob Seely Ford) remained thesame. In 1999, Steve Johnsonbought the business and it becameZumbrota Ford.

Lerfald remained the bookkeeperthrough the transitions, continu-ing to work full-time until Octo-ber 26, 2005. It had been just over51 years since she first beganworking for the car dealerships.She stopped working at that timebecause I couldnt leave Clinthome alone because of his health.He passed away in April 2007.Return to work

Three months later, in July 2007,Lerfald returned to where she be-

gan her career the corner of Mainand Fifth Streets in downtownZumbrota. This time it was to work

for Bruce Matthees at MattheesMidtown Shell and Food Mart.Working nearly 50 hours everytwo weeks, she said, Its not ahigh stress job. I see all kinds ofpeople coming in. And Bruce is agood person to work for.

The job not only keeps Lerfaldbusy with customers coming in tomake purchases or pay for fuel,but she also has a great view ofwhat is going on near the busycorner. Besides the pedestrian andvehicle traffic, she sees the activ-ity around the Armory across Main

Street as well as the three com-muter buses that drop passengersoff each weekday afternoon.

Matthees said people enjoy be-ing able to visit with Lerfald whenthey stop in. He sees Lerfald aspretty much the assistant man-ager now with her role as notonly serving and checking outcustomers, but also stockingshelves, keeping an eye on the priceof items, and keeping him informedas needed.Changes

With six decades of work expe-rience, Lerfald has had to makesome adjustments. The biggestoccurred in 1999 when sheswitched to doing her work on acomputer at age 62. Up until then,it was a manual process using acalculator and brainpower. In her

current role, she uses the cash reg-ister and credit card machine withease. Making change is no prob-lem with 50 years of bookkeepingexperience.

In Zumbrota, despite the increasein the amount of traffic, there is adecrease in the number of gas andservice stations. She noted that onthe corner of Jefferson (Old 52)and South Main (Highway 58) therehad been three service stations.The power-train in cars is builtmuch better now than in the 1950s.Cars had to be overhauled at 30,000miles back then.

Lerfald also mentioned otherchanges that have occurred on MainStreet. Some blocks have build-

ings that are totally gone and havenot been replaced. One exampleis between Fourth and Fifth Streetswhere the Armory is the only build-ing remaining of those that werethere in 1954 and that has beencompletely redone.Not ready to retire

When asked how long peoplecan expect to continue to see herworking on Main Street, Lerfald

responded, As long as Godswilling. Im not a person to sitaround. In addition to her job atMatthees Midtown, she is also thelocal manager for The Put ItPlace, storage units.

Family is important to Lerfald.She enjoys spending time with herdaughter and son-in-law, Jean andDan Burdick and their four chil-dren on their farm. Her son, Tom,

lives in Rochester. She doesntsee her daughter, Paula, and herhusband, Chris Karssiens, as of-ten as she would like since theylive in Singapore. Son, Jeff, isdeceased.

With continuing to work on MainStreet all these years, the mostrewarding part for Lois has beenall the great people I have met.
