Katy Schuerman

By Alicia Hunt-WelchWANAMINGO With the hir-

ing of Katy Schuerman as Kenyon-Wanamingo Elementary Schoolprincipal, the KW School Districtis back to a full roster of adminis-trators for the first time since De-cember 2014. Schuerman said sheis honored to join the KW districtand community.

After 23 years in the classroomshe is embarking on a new path asprincipal overseeing kindergartenthrough sixth grades. I think thegreatest strength I bring to theprincipals position is my exten-sive experience in the classroom,she said. I know firsthand thejoys and challenges of workingdirectly with children, and that willhelp me support teachers and stu-dents in an authentic, realistic way.

Schuerman grew up in the ruraltown of Worthington in southwest-ern Minnesota. It was a great placeto be a kid with strong support forschools and children, she said.Kenyon-Wanamingo reminds meof my hometown in that the schoolis the social center of the commu-nity, and there is great dedicationto kids and student accomplish-ments.

Teaching is in her blood.Schuermans mother was an el-ementary school teacher and herfather a junior high principal dur-ing the years she and her siblings

attended school. She recalled, Iused to write lesson plans and playschool with my little sister, who isalso a teacher! Her father thentook a job as the district officebusiness manager before the fam-ily eventually moved to the metroarea, where he took a job as anassistant superintendent.

In college, Schuerman discov-ered a love for the Spanish lan-guage. This led to her decision tobe a Spanish immersion teacher.She received her bachelors inscience in elementary educationand Spanish from St. Cloud StateUniversity. Then at the Univer-sity of St. Thomas she earned hermasters of arts in curriculum andinstruction, and her licensure asan education specialist in educa-tional leadership and administra-tion.

Schuerman started her teachingcareer with Minneapolis PublicSchools, where she spent nine yearsteaching in a Spanish immersionprogram. She then took time offfrom teaching to raise young chil-dren and home. The past fourteenyears she has served as a teacherleader in the immersion programfor Northfield Schools. She looksforward to using her Spanish toengage, welcome, and involve theKW Spanish speaking community.

Schuerman and her husband J.D.

have three children. The oldest,Jackson, will start college in thefall at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Betsy will be a juniorat Northfield High School whereshe is active in golf and basketballfor the Raiders. The youngest, Will,will be a freshman in the fall atNorthfield and is active in choir,lacrosse, and theatre. Schuermansaid, J.D. and I enjoy followingour childrens activities, beingoutside during all times of the year,and spending time with family andfriends.

Knowing a bit about the KWDistrict from news and acquain-tances working at KW, Schuermansaid she loves that KW studentsare encouraged to participate inmultiple sports and music programswithout pressure to specialize inone single area.

As principal her responsibili-ties will including serving students,families, and staff in any way nec-essary to help all students in thedistrict achieve at high levels, inaddition to providing instructionalleadership and support to teach-ers and assuring a culture of safetyand respect within the schools. Lastyear KW began implementing thePositive Behavior Interventionsand Support program, which usesstudent testing and data to imple-ment achievable outcomes with agoal to improve student academ-ics and behavior outcomes withaccess to the most effective andaccurate instructional and behav-ioral interventions. Schuermansaid, I am also excited to con-tinue the work that has been startedwith PBIS to ensure that theKenyon-Wanamingo culturemakes students and adults feelwelcome, valued and safe.

Schuerman said every studentis valued and worthy of the bestefforts of their educators. It is ajob she takes seriously, and put-ting forth her best is a challengeshe strives for. She said, I lovebeing an educator and think a schoolfull of children is a happy place tobe!

Stordahl Church to celebrate100 years of current building

A replica of the original Stordahl Church is displayed in the fellowshiphall in the basement of the new church building.

Stordahl Lutheran Church will hold a celebration on July 12 in honor of the 100th anniversary of its currentbuilding.

By Tawny MichelsZUMBROTA Stordahl

Lutheran Church in Roscoe Town-ship is celebrating the 100th anni-versary of its current church build-ing. Located at 15049 County 12Blvd just outside of Zumbrota, thechurch will hold a celebration onSunday, July 12.

Southeastern Minnesota BishopSteve Delzner will bring the mes-sage for the congregation. Theservice is at 9:30 a.m. and will befollowed by a brunch and family-friendly games.

The old schoolhouse, which isnow Roscoe Center Town Hall,will be open for tours. The churchhopes to bring in animals for thekids to see and interact with, andalso some tractors.

Pastor Kathy Lowery said, Wereally just want to honor our ruralbackground while celebrating ourchurchs history. Lowery has beenthe pastor at the church for thepast twelve years and is the firstfemale pastor in the churchs his-tory.History of current building

The original church for the pri-marily country congregation wasestablished sometime in 1878, butwas destroyed by a tornado onJune 23, 1914. The original churchwas a clapboard and wood build-ing that could not withstand thedestructive winds of the storm.

The decision to rebuild thechurch was made at an emergencymeeting of church council on June29, 1914. They discussed all oftheir options and decided that notrebuilding and joining with an-other congregation was just notan option.

At subsequent meetings in July

Kathy Lowery has been the pastorat Stordahl for twelve years and isthe first female pastor in the churchshistory.

of 1914, it was decided that thenew church would be built usingbrick, which would cost about $100more than using lumber. Althoughthis was considered a lot of moneyback then, the thinking was thatthe building would better be ableto withstand the elements of Min-nesota.

The question was posed whetherthe old church was of any valueand worth using for the new church.After speaking with a contractorit was decided that nothing wasworth saving and instead theyshould auction off what they could.A committee was formed and anauction was held on Saturday, July25.

The rebuilding of the churchbegan in the spring of 1915.

July activities deep thinking

Small typo in last weeks col-umn: I put the wrong email ad-dress in. It should be rollingf@bevcomm.net with the subject ofMNLA. Anyone who sends mean email for the MNLA Game willearn a 50% reduction in fees (totalbill).

We have some deep (suppos-edly serious) issues for the elec-tion in 2016! Immigration is a bigone. Why is this item a big issue?All of our families immigrated tothese lands. Who really thinks thatbecause they were born here thatthey are Native Americans, espe-cially if their father or mother wereborn elsewhere and the familyimmigrated. When did we decidethis land is only big enough foryou and me (and Im not too sureabout you)? Take a trip out westand then tell me there is no room.Take a hard look at the inner core

of the cities like Detroit, Chicago,New York City, and others. Thiscountry was built by immigrantsand we need more. Our economyis built and dependent on a grow-ing population. Read again thepoem inscribed at the feet of LadyLiberty.

What are we going to do aboutthe drought in California? Whatcan we do as a nation? A lot offresh fruits and vegetables comefrom California. Should we closethe state to just farmers? Whereshould the movie industry moveto? Or the computer industry? Isthe drought due to climate change?Can the president truly help withany of Californias problems? Theanswer is no!

In case you havent noticed, thenational policy about using gaso-line has changed. At one point inhistory, we worried about runningout of native crude oil. We im-ported crude oil and finished oilgoods from around the world. Theoil producing countries formed acartel to control the price and pro-duction. Now we are again out-producing the cartel and the price

has gone down. But should theprice go down? Once a barrel ofoil is used, it is gone. It is not arenewable resource. What shouldour oil policy be?

The US-Canadian border is themost open border in the world.But we have tightened security tothe point that it is not open anymore. Why? What happened be-tween us that we no longer trustCanadians? To give you an ideaof how open the border was, thinkabout this. Was Alexander Gra-ham Bell, the inventor of the tele-phone, a citizen of the USA, ofCanada, or Mexico? Actually, hewas born in Canada and appliedfor citizenship in the USA becausethe phone sold better here thanthere, and Washington insisted hebe a citizen. In the end, he sold outor retired back to Canada.

One final issue is can the USreally solve the Middle East situ-ation between Israel and its neigh-bors. I have come to believe thatanswer is no! It is not that peacetalks wont work, but no one istruly interested in succeeding. Untilnext week.

Chicken grit

One of the handiest commodi-ties I use in the garden is #2 chickengrit. Because its not water soluble,chicken grit is excellent for grow-ing succulents, holding soil incontainers (to avoid washing), cre-ating instant paths, deterring ro-dents from digging planted bulbs,etc.. Its only real problem isweight. At 60 pounds per bag itcan tucker a body out real

fasteven young bodies.Over the years Ive hired quite

a few brawny bodies for heftingchicken grit. Of course, the bestbodies are those being trained fordemolition on the football fieldbecause they are already used tophysical abuse. Unfortunately, onecan only use these bodies beforethe girls take to chasing them. Sothe season of working them in thegarden is relatively short. For thatreason, young males in our neigh-borhood were prime candidatesfor hauling the bags of chickengrit from the trunk of the car intothe garden and then spreading itwhere needed. The three Boserbrothers were perfectly spaced in

age so I could use those musclesfor five years before they escapedto college.

Because grit isnt water soluble,it wont affect soil PH, and that isextremely handy when dealing withfrequent rains, snow or any otherforms of moisture. It also meansmoisture wont break down thegrit over time, so what you put inplace wont melt away. Hence itcan be used around miniature plantsthat need protection from frostheave without introducing chemi-cals to harm those tiny root sys-tems. It is a natural for trough gar-dens, succulent dish gardens, oryour dwarf hosta beds. Better yet,it keeps rodents from digging inthese miniature landscapes becausethat course, sharp grit manglesmanicures and it will also ruinyours if you dont wear gloves.

Used on paths the grit doesntwash away readily because ofweight. If one walks frequentlyalong the paths, the sharpness tendsto keep some weeds from gettingestablished; it cuts them off at theroot line as you go from one placeto another doing chores.

Surprisingly, the worms dontseem to be disturbed by the addi-tion of grit to their environment.They worm their way around potscontaining large amounts of it withease. Succulents thrive in soil withgrit providing aeration for theirroot systems, but it does increasepot weight. So if youre growingagaves which already have heavywater weight, the chicken grit maynecessitate casters with which tomove the pot around.

Happily # 2 chicken grit is readilyavailable at most farm co-ops forhandy pick-up and loading intoones car. But if the weight is aphysical problem you may justwant to line up some extra musclesto unload and redistribute the sacksaround the garden. Better to pay ayouth in his prime than the chiro-practor, dontchathink?!

Senator Schmit speakswith KW School BoardBy Alicia Hunt-Welch

KENYON Senator MattSchmit attended the June 22Kenyon-Wanamingo SchoolBoard meeting to give a recap ofthe latest legislative session, an-swer questions, and gauge thedistricts needs.

Referring to the loss of long-time KW Superintendent Jeff Evertand extensive changes in admin-istrators, Schmit began by recog-nizing that the district had a diffi-cult year. He said significant moneyfor deferred maintenance and fund-ing to school readiness programswere positives that came out ofthe session. The senator envisionsmore money for schools in thefuture. Id like to think you couldcount on us going forward for moreadequate funding for schools, hesaid.

KW Interim Superintendent JeffPesta thanked Schmit for his workand support of schools, noting thatthe funding for deferred mainte-nance was much needed for schoolslike KW.District finances and budgets

The district budget for 2014-15was revised and approved as pre-

sented. An unassigned general fundbalance of $874,853 was projectedfor June 30, 2015. This was anincrease of $148,288 from last year.A financial summary featuringrevenues, expenditures, and pro-gram breakdowns from June 2013to May 2015 was presented. Sum-maries such as this will be pre-sented monthly to the board atfuture meetings.

A preliminary budget for 2015-16 was presented as well. With allthe transitions in leadership andconcerns regarding finances, Pestasaid former district manager KathyFlikke was very conservative withspending. Pesta noted that the dis-trict now has about a 10.32% un-assigned fund balance, which isgood, and referred to the prelimi-nary budget as a starting point formoving forward. A motion to ap-prove by Doug Kyllo, secondedby Greg Dotson, carried.Administrative reports

Principal Matt Ryan said he metwith K-6 staff at the end of theschool year to gather input andreflections on the year. Ryan gavea great deal of credit to the stafffor their communication with fami-lies this year throughout thedistricts many changes in leader-ship. He said students needs al-ways remained the focus.

Pesta presented a year-end stu-dent enrollment summary and in-dicated his intention to present theseon a frequent basis for the schoolboards review. As of June, 838students were enrolled at KWSchools. Pesta said the goal is bemore effective in meeting the needsof students, to keep them here,and to attract other students intothe district.

Pesta also recommended a worksession meeting with administra-tors and board members to dis-cuss future goals and to mind-fully chart the course of the dis-trict. A meeting will be sched-uled before the start of the schoolyear.Extra-curricular assignments

A list of coaching assignmentsfor 2015-16 was presented.

Jake Wieme will serve as thehead football coach, assisted byRandy Hockinson and BrentLurken.

Jen Nerison will be the headvolleyball coach, assisted by TracyErlandson, Cheryl Dahl, MandiKyllo, and Carrie Groth.

Matt Ryan will continue as headwrestling coach, assisted by ChadOlson and Nathan Lexvold.

Brent Lurken will return as headgirls basketball coach, assisted byJake Wieme, Tracy Erlandson, andJen Nerison. Although the districtwas still in the process of hiring aboys head basketball coach, it wasknown that Kirby VanDeWalkerwould be first assistant, with An-drew Anfinson coaching eighthgrade boys and Brandy Anfinsoncoaching seventh grade.

Head track coach Jeff Wibbenwill be assisted again by RachelCline and Tracy Erlandson.

Jake Wieme will be the headgolf coach.

Randy Hockinson will serve ashead baseball coach, assisted byKirby VanDeWalker, ShaneEggerstedt and Jason Nurnberg.

The softball team will be coachedby Rich Kinciad and assisted byDoug Thompson.

The district has yet to fill theposition of dance team coach.

The coaches and advisors fornon-athletic extra-curricular ac-tivities will be the same as theprevious year.Other business

At extended field trip requestfor the 2015-16 sixth grade to at-tend Eagle Bluff, and its relatedfundraisers, was approved.

The policy regarding work over-load limits for certain special edu-cation teachers was amended andpresented to the board for a firstreading.

The technology plan for 2015-18 was reviewed and approved.The plan will be submitted to thestate as required.

Wasioja Education TechnologyCooperative (WETC) is lookingat changes to the phone system.Converting to a new system willresult in an estimated $3,600 insavings.

Exiting community educationdirector Kris Kincaid recom-mended that the board have bothsites open for preschool and KWKids for the school year, based onenrollment numbers and projec-tions. Kincaid she that with limi-tations set, it has been a challengefor staff between two sites to re-view and collaborate programs.She also asked the board to con-sider increasing hours for the fu-ture director, as she ended up work-ing more hours than set to com-plete tasks.

More than fifty quilts displayed atCovered Bridge Festival Quilt Show

First Congregational Church hosted the 2015 Covered Bridge Festival Quilt Show on Saturday, June 20.

ZUMBROTA More than 50quilts were displayed at the Cov-ered Bridge Festival Quilt Showon Saturday, June 20, at the his-toric First Congregational Church.Quilts of nearly every style wereshown, including hand-pieced andhand-quilted heirlooms, traditionalstyle-machined pieced, with ma-chine quilting; both free hand andcomputerized, pieced and tied,paper-pieced, embroidered, appli-que, whole cloth, crazy and bargelloquilts. The collection includedbaby quilts, lap quilts, full-sizedbed quilts, table runners, wall hang-ings and quilts honoring recentgraduates.

Visitors of all ages, male andfemale, found something to ad-mire. With the 150-year-old churchas a background, it was difficultto decide what to focus on first,the awesome 1870s pump organ,the huge double-hung windows,the ornate alter area or the out-standing colorful quilts.

With the church ladies, led byColeen Johnston, serving home-made treats, coffee and lemon-ade, the church offered a cool placeto sit and visit. Quilting techniques

and tips were shared, memorieswere stirred, especially by theheirloom quilts, and the storiesbehind each quilt enlightened visi-tors to the meaning or motivationfor creating the fabric art.

Visitors were asked to vote fortheir top three favorite quilts forthe Peoples Choice award. Nearlyall found this to be a most difficulttask, since every quilt was out-standing in its own right and defi-nitely a winner in someones heart.The local quilt shop, All In Stitches,provided a generous gift certifi-cate to the winner of the PeoplesChoice award. This years winnerwas Jane Fisk of North Branch.Fisk is a veteran and talentedquilter. She owns a long arm quilt-ing company, using a computer-ized quilting machine, and hasmastered many different quiltingstyles. Her bargello quilt is com-prised of thousands of pieces,placed in a pattern creating wavesof color and bordered in large scal-lops, sized to fit a queen sizedbed. Fisk was thankful for the awardand wanted to encourage newquilters to keep sewing. Jane Fisk won the peoples choice award for her Bargello quilt.

ZUMBROTA Quickly gain-ing recognition as one of Irishmusics new super-groups,RUNA has been enchanting audi-ences by pushing the boundariesof Irish folk music since its for-mation in 2008. Interweaving thehaunting melodies and exuberanttunes of Ireland and Scotland withthe lush harmonies and intoxicat-ing rhythms of bluegrass, flamenco,blues, jazz, they offer a thrillingand redefining take on traditionalmusic. RUNA plays at Crossingson Friday, July 17, at 8 p.m.

With so many very differentmusicians, it would be a disser-vice to call RUNAs music sim-

ply Celtic. Instead, this is mu-sic conceived in the New World,but with distinct ties to the OldWorld. Music that looks forwardas much as it looks back. Musicinspired by tradition, but embrac-ing a new sound for the future.

Seeking to preserve and con-tinue a traditional culture in amodern age, RUNA creates thebackbone of its signature rootssound from the musical and geo-graphical diversity of its individu-ally established band members.Together, theyve earned a repu-tation as one of the most innova-tive Irish folk groups of this gen-

eration.The group has been honoured

internationally, winning TopGroup and Top Traditional Groupin the Irish Music Awards and anIndependent Music Award for BestWorld/Traditional Song.

Their album, Current Affairs,was nominated in the 2014 IrishMusic Awards for Best New IrishCD and in the 2015 IndependentMusic Awards for Best BluegrassSong and Best World/TraditionalSong.

ST. PAUL On July 1, the state of Minnesota will begin us-ing the width of all-terrain ve-hicles (ATVs) to determine howATVs are classified and wherethey can be ridden. This changewill a ffect ATV owners, but theydont need to take action untilthei r current registration expires.

ATVs were defined in the pastby weight and engine size. As aresult of legislation passed in2015, Minnesota law now definesan ATV as a motorized vehiclewith:

Three to six low-pressure ornon-pneumatic tires and;

Atotal dry weight of 2,000pounds or less; and

Atotal width (measured fromoutside of tire rim to outside oftire rim) that is 65 inches or less.

An ATV with a total width of50 inches or less is considered aClass 1 ATV . A Class 1 ATV istypically designed for a singleoperator who straddles the ma-chine and uses handlebars to steer,but some Class 1 ATVs are de-signed by the manufacturer foroff-road use with a seat belt,rollover protection and a steer-ing wheel.

An ATV with a total widththat is greater than 50 inches butnot more than 65 inches wide isconsidered a Class 2 ATV. Class2 ATVs typically have a steer-ing wheel and are designed forthe operator and passenger to be

New law adds width to criteriafor where ATVs can ride

seated side by side.ATV owners can continue to

display an unexpired registrationfor their Class 1 or Class 2 ATVuntil it expires. New registrationsand transfers will continue us-ing the present registration sys-tem until the DNR upgrades arecomplete. The ATV registrationsystem will not be programmedwith the new definition of an ATVuntil 2016.

There is no difference in thecost of registering a Class 1 orClass 2 ATV (a three-year regis-tration is $45 for both), but theclassification affects where eachtype of ATV can ride.

All ATV riders need to ob-serve the signs designating Class1 and Class 2 trails, said MaryStraka , OHV program consult-ant for the DNRs Parks and Trails

Division. They also need to beaware of the laws about ridingATVs on roads and in ditches.Most ATV riders will not be af-fected by the new definitions, butothers will enjoy expanded ridingopportunities. For example, onlyClass 2 ATVs were previouslyallowed on road shoulders, butnow Class 1 ATVs can ride onthe shoulders of some publicroads, too, if they have a seatbelt, rollover protection and asteering wheel.
