Students from Zumbrota-Maz-eppa School were proficient athigher rates than the state aver-ages in every category.

By Alice Duschanek-MyersORONOCO – On August 28,

engineers Joe Palen and GaryMorien of Santec and OlmstedCounty Coordinator of Environ-mental Services Terry Lee updatedthe Oronoco Oversight Commit-tee on the preliminary engineer-ing reports for the removal of thedam and restoration of the ZumbroRiver. They presented the currentproject plans and the environmentalimpact studies.

Morien and Palen provided anoverview of the plans to removethe dam, restore the channels ofthe river, and revitalize the oldbed of Lake Shady and the flood-plain.Dam removal

The dam will be mechanicallyremoved in stages from the topdown, allowing a portion of thedam to act as a sediment trap andhelp create a basin during workon the river restoration. The damwill be replaced with a gradualrapids.

Morien said, “At the same time,construction will start at the headof the gradual rapids at the transi-tion of the two rivers.” A floatingsilt fence will be installed on theeast side below the dam to capturesediment and stop it from movingto areas downstream.

The electrical motors, wiring,and operating equipment at thetop of the dam will be removedfirst. The railings and walkwayon top of the dam will then beremoved. In the next stage the gates,trunnions, pulleys, chains, andmechanical works regulating thecontrol of water levels will be re-moved. Next the piers for the gateswill be removed down to a speci-fied height. Most of the concretewall along the shores of the river

will also be removed.While the dam is being dis-

mantled, access roads and a cross-ing in the low water stream nearthe transition of the two streamswill be constructed for trucks andequipment. A bypass channel willbe created to divert the river streamalong the north bank by Ellis Parkduring the river restoration. A pitwill be constructed at the end ofthis temporary diversion channelto act as an additional settling ba-sin for moving sediment.

A temporary berm will be con-structed upstream from the damat the start of the gradual rapids todivert the water into the bypasschannel. Pumps will be installedto move the water into the sec-ondary sediment catch basin be-low the dam. As the dam is re-moved, the sediment upstream willbe excavated and the rock rapidswill be constructed.Hydrologic and hydraulic analysis

Both Palen and Morien ex-plained the findings from com-puter model studies of the impacton water levels with and withoutthe Oronoco dam. In the modelsthere was no significant rise in thelevel of the river water withoutthe dam. A rain event could bringthe water up to its banks.

Report for dam removal andZumbro River restoration presented

By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA – Among several

construction projects in Zumbrotathis year, there is one that has beennoticeable not only to travelers atthe south end of Main Street, butalso to those passing Zumbrotaalong Highway 52. An 8,000 squarefoot addition to Zumbrota Ford,at the intersection of Highways52 and 58 (1660 Main Street) wasstarted in early June. Though itappears to be nearing completionon the outside, the project isn’tanticipated to be wrapped up untilJanuary 1, 2014.

According to sales managerKristin Johnson, 99 percent of theproject is dedicated to a new ser-vice department that will includea Quick Lane Tire and Oil Center.Steve Johnson, owner of ZumbrotaFord, further explained the newcenter, saying that its four bayswill focus on providing servicessuch as oil changes, and other main-tenance and light repair jobs.

Cement was poured August 26in the addition which will housethe new shop area. When the floor

is ready, the service departmentwill be completed, followed bythe Quick Lane. The project willcontinue through the building fromwest to east, including the cus-tomer lounge area and bathrooms.The sales department will be thelast area to be revamped.

Both Johnsons (father anddaughter) pointed out the biggestgoal of the project has been togear it for the customers. Kristensaid, “The building is not for ourbenefit, but for our customers.”With the changes, customers willbe able to pull into the building

Zumbrota Ford is expanding

To those passing by Zumbrota Ford on Highway 52, the addition on the west side of the building may appearto be nearing completion as workers focus their attention along the roofline on August 29. However, thereis still much work to be done before the project is completed. The entire project, which includes extensiveremodeling and upgrading of the remainder of the building, isn’t anticipated to be wrapped up until earlyJanuary 2014.

for service where they are greetedby someone for assistance. Theywill then proceed directly into theupdated lounge and waiting area.Steve said there have been no majorchanges to the building since itwas built in 1967, so he is excitedto make the improvements for thenext generation of customers.

A date for an open house willbe determined nearer the comple-tion of the project, but will likelybe held sometime in January orFebruary, 2014. Smidt Construc-tion Company of Racine is thecontractor for the project; ShaneElectric of Zumbrota is the elec-trical contractor.

Zumbrota Ford currently has 27employees. Additional sales peopleare currently being sought, withmore employees expected to behired due to the expansion. Fordpickup truck sales do well, espe-cially in a farming community suchas the Zumbrota area. Fuel-effi-cient vehicles such as the Escape,Focus and Fusion also do “reallywell for us” according to Kristen.

Steve has been the owner ofZumbrota Ford since 1999.

considered. There could be somewater out of the banks in the plainin major weather events. However,as vegetation reclaims the plain inthe old lakebed it should be mini-

mal. There would be little dam-age because no construction is al-lowed in the flood plain.

Morien said, “The flood plainwill actually be slightly smaller.”

FromDevil’sKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

Two short subjects

Dr. Pepper driving ruleDr. Pepper for years had the slo-

gan, “Drink a bite to eat at 10, 2and 4.” Driving instructors adoptedthe slogan to explain where to placeyour hands on the steering wheel:10 and 2 o’clock. Times havechanged (pun intended) concern-ing a few points. Students are notlearning about analog clocks, andmany don’t know what one lookslike. And then there is the safetyissue – does your car have air bags,especially in the steering wheel?Research has shown that a com-mon injury from frontal air bagdeployment is to the forearms andhands.

Most of us were taught the Dr.Pepper hand placement on the steer-ing wheel. The left hand grippedthe wheel at 10 o’clock and theright hand gripped it at 2 o’clock.The result is that your thumbs arelocked around the steering wheeland we drive with our arms wide.The worst time to have an acci-dent is while turning a corner and

your arms are crossed in front ofyour head and chest.

Here is the solution. Grip thewheel at 4 and 8 o’clock posi-tions. Make sure your thumbs areon the outside of the wheel. Thisplaces your hands and forearmsbelow the air bag. When makingturns, the hand on the inside of theturn should slide up the wheel,and as you turn your hands will beeven with each other. The 4-8 po-sition is more stable than the 10-2and is much better than the onehand grip at the top or bottom. Itfeels strange and takes getting usedto, but try it.Advice to President Obamaon Syria

Mr. President, please do notmake any military strike againstSyria. Here are several conse-quences if you do. The time to getinvolved in Syria was at the be-ginning two years ago, not now.The message to all Middle East-ern countries, including Israel, is,“If you really, really piss me off,I’m going to smack you hard (andpeople are going to die).” Our ownhistory of fighting among ourselvesis not squeaky clean, includingour own Civil War. We may havelearned better, but that doesn’tmean we don’t occasionally backslide. Any military action gives

Russia (and Iran) an “I told youso!” advantage. If we do this, onequick strike won’t be enough. Wewill be in another war.

Here is an alternative. Go be-fore the UN, both the SecurityCouncil and the General Assem-bly, charge Mr. Assad with warcrimes asking for a warrant for hisarrest and trial at the World Court.If it is granted then, using a policestrike force, arrest him and presenthim to The Hague (World Court).We respond with legal action basedon international law. It is a one-shot extraction and a trial. If thetrial is open, the entire world wouldsee true justice in action by mod-ern society. This message is dif-ferent. It says, “We will act in ajust and legal manner. All sideswill be heard. Judgment will bebased on the evidence presentedto (hopefully) an impartial set ofjudges. You can expect the same.”Russia and Iran have no answerfor this action because they maybe charged with aiding and abet-ting and held liable by the world.This is a better outcome than anymilitary action. It could potentiallystop the civil war.

Remember 4-8 (or 8-4) and prac-tice it. Let our Congress and thepresident know your opinion aboutSyria. Until next week.

Bad adviceTo the Editor:

Bad advice followed by a baddecision was the situation at theWabasha County Board meetingon August 20. There was Item I,the “Safe Driving Class EconomicSecurity / Precluding PotentialLawsuit” on the day’s agenda. Thisitem was not allowed to be dis-cussed as the board majority votedto have it removed without hear-ing what it was all about.

This bad decision made by theboard majority was a fatal error.In their short-sighted vision littledid they know that they were pass-ing up an opportunity to handlethe “Safe Driving Class” problem

without a lawsuit and it would havemade them look like heroes. Un-fortunately for the taxpayers, thenew board majority has hired out-side counsel to defend their baddecision to NOT hear Item I, andthe county is now looking at alawsuit. The lawsuit against the“Safe Driving Class” is not seek-ing monetary rewards and is be-ing paid for by private individu-als, not with taxpayer dollars. Thesuit is asking the state to rule oneway or the other on the legality ofthis “class.”

For ten years the county attor-ney has been stating that this classis legal and that is where the bad

advice comes in. The county sher-iff, auditor, and the board major-ity has always accepted this ad-vice. In the past ten years the stateauditor’s yearly report has docu-mented that this class is illegaland has asked the county to bringthe class into compliance with statestatutes and laws but the requestshave always been ignored. A fewof the commissioners on pastcounty boards and two on the cur-rent county board have questionedthe auditor’s report time and timeagain but have always been over-ruled by the county attorney. Thebad advice was given by the countyattorney but the county sheriff,county auditor, and the commis-sioners past and present have NOTdone their job to see to it that theauditor’s request was compliedwith.

Finally, two commissioners whohave a moral compass and believein abiding by the law are tacklingthis problem. These two peopleare being maligned and chastisedfor taking on the responsibility toresolve this problem when in factthey should be called heroes. Af-ter seeing the last event play out atthe county board meeting, I thinkit is time for a clean sweep inWabasha County. We need a freshstart and all the incumbents needto be removed so Wabasha Countycan return to honest, ethical gov-ernment for the good of everyone.

Goodhue County Sheriff’s Officecan handle serving Pine IslandTo the Editor:

Dean Weis’s comment to thePine Island City Council duringpublic input at the at the August20 council meeting is false andcertainly not worth repeating. Forthose who have read the commentin the News-Record (from the ar-ticle “Pine Island approves off-sale liquor license for AmericanLegion” in the August 28, 2013edition) and are left with uncer-tainty, I would like to ensure youthat our Goodhue County Sheriff’sdeputies serving Pine Island canhandle the responsibility and havebeen since the mid-1970s.

Pine Island currently has six li-censed Goodhue County deputiesliving in the city. Out of those six,two are patrol sergeants, includ-ing myself, two are K-9 deputies,and two are SWAT team mem-bers. Having these deputies liv-ing in Pine Island with all havingdifferent schedules means we haveofficers constantly patrolling inand out of the city, 24/7. This hasbeen extremely effective withcrime prevention and quick re-sponse time to calls for service.

Pine Island pays for 18 hours ofcoverage a day for one deputy.But the city is covered 24/7 at no

additional cost. You may see twoor more deputies in Pine Islanddaily due to shift changes, out-county deputies who back up PIdeputies on high-risk calls for ser-vice, warrants and traffic stops, ordeputies going to or from home.Our deputies, when off duty, haveassisted on-duty deputies withcrimes and suspicious activitydowntown, in and around ourschool, pool, and parks on numer-ous occasions, making us all safer.Our off-duty deputies living in PineIsland have responded to majorincidents at a moment’s notice,fully equipped, trained, and readyto handle any situation. That iswhy each deputy has a take-homesquad car, portable radio, andcellphone.

Many of you have witnesseddeputies responding to medicalemergencies, traffic accidents,domestics, or fights in progress,putting themselves in harm’s wayto protect Pine Island citizens fordecades. Some of you read thepolice report and know the callsfor service that deputies resolve.Goodhue County Sheriffi’s Inves-tigators have been successful inputting numerous Pine Island areadrug dealers in jail, solving bur-glaries, and thefts, and are trained

to handle every type of crime scene.Goodhue County Sheriff’s OfficeRec. Dept. is in Pine Island whenwe need a mobile command post,boat, ATV, UTV, or snowmobileto assist our citizens during floods,to look for lost children, and toteach our children ATV and snow-mobile safety. We have a sheriff’sdeputy safeguarding our childrenat school daily, and the sheriff’sSWAT team is trained in Pine Is-land School to be ready to protectour children, if ever needed.

Make no mistake, everyGoodhue County deputy assignedto Pine Island is dedicated to work-ing together in a problem-solvingrelationship with Pine Island citi-zens to fight crime, and maintainpeace and order, and will alwaysstrive to improve the quality oflife for citizens. I encourage Mr.Weis to attend the next GoodhueCounty Citizens Academy to geteducated on the complex world oflaw enforcement and how theGoodhue County Sheriff’s Officeprovides Pine Island with a hugeinventory of equipment and re-sources to get the job done, mak-ing Pine Island a safe place to livefor everyone.

Enjoyed playTo the Editor:

I saw my play, “Don’t Tell MyWife,” at the State Theatre andwas delighted. Artistically andtechnically, it was of a very highcaliber—far better than I wouldhave expected of a communitytheatre.

How fortunate Zumbrota is tohave ZAAC, its commitment tothe arts, its standards of excel-lence, and its open attitude towardnew works.

ZUMBROTA-MAZEPPA SCHOOL BOARD UPDATEThose who attended the open

houses on Wednesday, August 28,would have seen how well theZumbrota-Mazeppa School Dis-trict performed on the various stateexams. ZM was ranked first (allgrade levels) out of all of the south-east Minnesota school districts inscience and in the top three in allof the other core areas tested. Whata great testament to our facultyand staff for the passion and dedi-cation they give to the students inour district!

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 districtavoid an income/expense deficit.At the same time, in order to main-tain our current curriculum offer-ings, moderate class sizes and co-curricular programs we are in need

of help on the income side of ourledger. For various reasons relatedto the State of Minnesota schoolfunding formula, ZM and a num-ber of districts in southeast Min-nesota are in the bottom one thirdof state aid per student. This re-sults in our district needing to relymore on local dollars to operateour school system.

The ZM School Board is invit-ing all district patrons to informa-tional meetings regarding theNovember 5 referendum vote. Theboard will put before the voters ofthe district a question requestingadditional support for the ZMSchools with a levy of up to $350/student for the next ten years. Themeetings will be at the Mazeppaelementary media center on Mon-day, September 9 at 7 p.m. and onMonday, September 30 at 6:30 p.m.Additional meetings for Zumbrotawill be scheduled in October andannounced at a later date. Pleasefollow our referendum updates onthe school’s website at www.zmschools.us.

The ZM School Board wouldalso be more than willing to sched-

ule informational meetings withcommunity organizations or meetwith individuals. Please contactany of the board members if youwould be interested.

Lambeau FieldI knew that the Green Bay Pack-

ers were a publicly held NFL fran-chise through shares that reallyonly amount to a donation to keepthe storied franchise in Green Bay.But I did not know that in order toraise funds for recent renovationsthat the county held a referendum.The concession to pass the mea-sure was that tickets for Packergames would be made availableto county residents only through alottery. This was important be-cause the waiting list for seasontickets is larger than the seatingcapacity of the stadium.

While touring Lambeau Field,I learned that it has the third larg-est permanent seating capacity ofall NFL stadiums in large part dueto the bulk of aluminum benchseating. Because of the long sea-son ticket holder waiting list, theyare in no hurry to change to armchair seats which would cost themmore than 7,000 seats. Weddings,parties, and even fantasy football

drafts are held in their new sta-dium addition.Maritime Museum

Attending the Wisconsin Mari-time Museum in Manitowoc, Ilearned that World War II U.S.submarines accounted for 55% ofall tonnage sunk by the Navy. Eventhough submarines accounted for2% of the U.S. Navy, they ac-counted for 30% of the JapaneseNavy vessels destroyed. U.S. sub-mariners suffered the highest per-centage losses of any service ofthe military in the war.

The museum is part of theSmithsonian and offers a tour of asubmarine commissioned duringWorld War II and the Korean War.Submarines rely on stealth. Thisparticular class of submarine usedteakwood on deck that would sinkif dislodged, rather than float andgive away their position. It oper-ated by battery power while un-derwater, but needed to resurfaceand maneuver at high speed inorder to recharge its batteries. Ifthe boat’s battery power went outwhile underwater, the boat wouldsink and crew would perish at thebottom of the ocean.

I knew that the U.S. Navy com-missioned submarines to be builtin Manitowoc, but assumed thatthe boats traveled through the Great

Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. Ilearned that the subs went to Chi-cago and channeled to the Missis-sippi River down to New Orleans.I also learned that the Navy com-missioned wooden ship buildersto construct mine sweepers dur-ing the war, because metal wouldattract mines.Kite Festival

I’m not surprised to learn thatthere is such a thing as competi-tive kite flying, but it was fabu-lous to see kites flown in coordi-nated, criss-crossing, and twist-ing formations to music at theManitowoc Kite Festival on LakeMichigan. Kites of all types wereon display.Golf

I relearned something twice (ifthat counts as learning) on the golfcourse. Never hit a high loftedwedge off the cart path over a wastearea, to a tight pin placement, witha water hazard behind the green.The club bounces of the rock-hardground and catches the edge ofthe golf club instead of the loftedclubface and sends the ball on aline into the hazard. Technically,a new ball should be placed at thepoint of entry, but no closer to thepin. So you may have to hit fromthe same difficult spot as before.

OronocoORONOCO DAMContinued from front pageerosion, a stable river channel willbe developed. The sediment willsettle and vegetation will becomeestablished. This includes bothnatural vegetation and plantingsby the Minnesota Department ofNatural Resources.

It is estimated that 130,000 cu-bic yards of material must be cutout of the river for the restorationand development of wetlands. Anestimated 120,000 cubic yards mustbe moved as fill. One dump truckhauls 10 cubic yards.

Some of the fill will be used tobuild up a bike trail and barrieralong the northbound side of USHighway 52. This barrier with havetrees and native plants. The bikepath will go under the highwaybridge to connect the west andeast sides of the City of Oronoco.The path will go to the OronocoPark.

Terry Lee said the project in-cluded almost a mile of river. Hesaid, “This is bigger than any ofthe other projects we have withthe DNR.”

A number of design features willbe used to improve the river flow.Riffle design will be used to movefast shallow areas over a pebblebed. Pool design will be used onthe bends, which will move waterfaster on the outside and sloweron the inside of the bend.

Toe wood methods will be usedwhere the water meanders, to addstability for the steeper banks. Treesand brush from the flood buyout

area might be used to create thebenched areas where vegetationwill be planted to anchor the banks.Palen said willows and dogwoodscould be planted to root throughthe benches and stabilize the shorein these areas. Lee estimated thatit would take three years for thewood to evolve and blend withthe natural environment.

The Minnesota Department ofTransportation, Minnesota Depart-ment of Natural Resources, andMinnesota Pollution ControlAgency returned positive com-ments on the Environmental As-sessment Worksheet for the project,with some special provisions andpermitting in the final design phase.

2.62 acres of wetlands must bemitigated in the project. In the stud-ies five wells were constructed andmonitored for groundwater eleva-tions with inconclusive results.Palen said that most likely somecredit for the mitigation area willbe allowed for the channel exca-vation and vegetation restoration.

The goal is to have preparationsand funding finalized to solicit bidsin June 2014, award the construc-tion contract in August 2014, andhave the construction completedby April 2014. Most of the workwill be done in the winter whenthe water is frozen, because of thelack of roads and access in thearea.Olmsted County

Olmsted County is the Respon-sible Government Unit for the en-vironmental assessments and

project. Lee said the county willwork with MnDOT on the neces-sary use of right-of-ways. Thecounty is responsible for the landacquisition for the project. Thereare nine properties to acquire inthe lakebed. The county has madeoffers on eight properties and isworking on the ninth. He said,“Condemnation has been ap-proved, but we don’t want to dothat.”

Lee reported the estimated costsof the parts of the dam removaland river restoration project. Hepresented this summary of thebudget for the funded portion ofthe project (see chart).

The possible FEMA, DNR,Olmsted County, and City ofOronoco grant funds for the projectonly total $3,510,158. There is abudget shortfall of $298,729.

Lee is searching for additionalfunding sources to cover the short-fall and complete other parts ofthe project. With additional costsfor lakebed and wetland restora-tion and access improvements thetotal cost of the dam removal andrestoration project is$6,025,413.05.

He will meet with OlmstedCounty Parks Superintendent TomRyan to inquire about any grantsthat are available. He said there is$60,380 left in the Olmsted Countyaccount that paid Oronoco foroperating and maintaining the dam.He will request that the funds bespent on the river restoration.

Olmsted County Coordinator of Environmental Services Terry Lee presented this summary of the budget forthe funded portion of the dam removal and river restoration project.

Aqua Zumba party raises $400for Hydrocephalus Association

Trisha Miller of Ah-sirt Fitness and Nail Studio in Zumbrota presents a$400 check to Allie Degrood for the Minnesota Hydrocephalus Walk.Miller organized a Aqua Zumba Pool Party to support Degrood’s walkteam.

By Alicia Hunt-WelchZUMBROTA – Ah-Sirt Fitness

and Nail Studio owner TrishaMiller recently organized afundraiser to support the Hydro-cephalus Association and TeamA in honor of Allie Degrood. AnAqua Zumba Pool Party was heldon August 21 at the Zumbrota pooland $400 was collected for TeamA to be donated to the 4th annualHydrocephalus Walk in Rogerson September 15. This will beDegrood’s fourth year leading ateam in the metro area walk.

Allie DeGrood, 15, is the daugh-ter of Jill and Rick Swenson andChuck DeGrood. She lives in Zum-brota and attends Kenyon-Wanamingo High School. She wasborn with hydrocephalus, com-monly referred to as water on thebrain. The condition causes ex-cessive accumulation of cere-brospinal fluid – a clear fluid thatsurrounds the brain and spinal cord.This results in abnormal widen-ing of spaces in the brain calledventricles, which creates poten-tially harmful pressure on the tis-sues of the brain. To treat her con-dition, doctors inserted stunt sys-tems to divert the flow of fluidfrom the central nervous systemto other areas of the body where itcan be absorbed as part of the nor-mal circulatory process. Over her

lifetime, Degrood has spent a greatdeal of time in the hospital andundergone several surgeries. In2012, she was hospitalized for alengthy time. During one of tworequired surgeries last summer,complications resulted and she suf-fered a traumatic brain injury.

Trisha Miller’s business special-izes in personal training, pilatesmatwork and reformer, Zumba,Zumba toning, boot camp, TRX,kickboxing, kettlebells, line danc-ing, and Piyo fitness, and nail ser-vices. She is a friend of DeGrood’s

family and has supported her ev-ery year for her walk. This yearMiller decided to organize afundraiser. Most of the people whoparticipated in the Aqua ZumbaPool Party did not know Degroodbut still contributed to her cause.Her mother Jill Swenson said, “Thecommunity support was prettyawesome.”

GoodhueGoodhue approves preliminary 2014 budgetBy Tara Chapa

GOODHUE – On August 28the Goodhue City Council votedto approve a preliminary 2014budget. Three of the highest lineitems are debt service (bond pay-ments), streets/roadways, and po-lice labor. Police labor is higherthan sewer or water because thepayroll for all full-time employ-ees is split between several differ-ent departments. The [olice pay-roll falls under police labor, and itis not split.Insurance

Mayor Kerry Bien talked aboutproviding insurance to fellow cityemployees. Bien said, “I feel wehave great employees and I do notwant to lose them due to lack ofinsurance.”

City Clerk Lori Agre is in thebeginning phases of researchingcosts, policies, and regulations tobegin an insurance package foremployees.

The health care reform act statesthat a company must offer cover-age to full-time employees, withfull-time being defined as work-ing 30 hours or more.Water bills

Delinquent water bills were re-viewed. After discussion, it wasapproved that the City of Goodhuewill amend the late water bill or-dinance to state that notices will

be sent out if payment is not re-ceived within 60 days of the bill’sdue date.New restaurant

John Adams asked fellow coun-cilors for an update on the newrestaurant to be opened in Goodhue.Owners of the restaurant are thesame owners of the BrickhousePub and Grill in Red Wing. Therestaurant has a good reputation,having won the Restaurant of theYear in Red Wing two consecu-tive years and it was named thepeople’s choice award at the Tasteof Rochester this past summer.

Agre said that the new restau-rant owner reported that all pa-perwork is back from the state andrestaurant employees are ready togo. The restaurant is hoping to beopen by end of October.

Thank you to Prairie IslandThe council approved a thank

you letter to be written to the Prai-rie Island Indian Community forthe donation of their 2005 CrownVictoria Squad Car.

Kautz family donates 45 gallons ofpop tabs to Ronald McDonald House

Grandchildren of Larry and Bev Kautz and Luann and Craig Lewer helped collect and donate 45 gallons ofpop tabs to the Ronald McDonald House. In front: Bailee Bishop, Kenna Bishop, Justin Holst, BrooklynBishop, and Michael Holst are joined by their grandpa Larry Kautz (left) and family friend Roger Swee at theSenior Center in Pine Island to donate canned vegetables before taking the pop tabs to the Rochester RonaldMcDonald House.

By Audra DePestelPINE ISLAND – For the past

15 years, the Larry and Bev Kautzfamily of Pine Island has beencollecting pop can tabs to donateto the Ronald McDonald Housein Rochester. On Monday, Sep-tember 26, Larry, owner of KautzTrailer Sales, and his granddaugh-ters Kenna (10), Brooklyn (8), andBailee Bishop (5) from River Falls,and grandsons Michael (6) andJustin Holst (5) from Hager City,along with family friend and em-ployee Roger Swee, gathered allthe pop tabs they had collectedand donated them to the RonaldMcDonald House. The amountcame out to be about 45 gallons.

Before heading to Rochester,the group first made a stop at theSenior Citizen Center in Pine Is-land to drop off several cases ofcanned vegetables, something thatthe Kautz family likes to do a coupleof times a year. Kautz said he likesto help out local charities and heknows they can use the support.He also wants his grandchildrento know how important it is tohelp out. “The pop tab collectionis something that they can help doand feel good about,” he said.

The Pop Tab program at theRonald McDonald House raisesthousands of dollars annually tosupport families. Last year closeto 800 families stayed at the House.Volunteers take the pop tabs tothe recycling center where theyare weighed and a check is writ-ten to the House based on a perpound price. Between $13,000 and$18,000 dollars a year is raisedthrough the program.

Maggie Schoepski, CommunityDevelopment Director at theRonald McDonald House in Roch-ester, said that pop tab collectingis a great way for families, schools,organizations, businesses and in-dividuals to support the RonaldMcDonald House, which servesas a home away from home forseriously ill children and their fami-lies. Teachers often use this pro-gram as a learning tool to teachmath concepts, recycling and en-vironmental lessons, and a spirit

of belonging to a larger commu-nity of people. Schoepski said theycollect the pop tabs because it takes

up less space than cans and it iseasier for individuals and busi-ness to collect them as well. “Do-

nations of any size are welcome.Every little bit helps,” she said.

Less than one percent of drunk driversreoffend after using ignition interlock

Less than one percent of the10,664 DWI offenders in Minne-sota who have used or are cur-rently using ignition interlock havereoffended since the program’sstatewide inception in July 2011,according to the Minnesota De-partment of Public Safety Officeof Traffic Safety.

To date, 3,283 people havegraduated from the interlock pro-gram—meaning, they used thedevice for the required period with-out reoffending. There are cur-rently 7,381 people using ignitioninterlock in Minnesota.

Ignition interlock devices areconnected to a vehicle’s starter.The only way a driver can startthe vehicle is by blowing into thedevice and measuring an alcoholcontent under 0.02. If the alcoholcontent is at 0.02 or above, the carwill not start and the informationwill be recorded and later trans-mitted to the monitoring author-ity.

“Interlock devices are provingto be effective tools that are keep-ing the vast majority of past DWIoffenders from repeating their mis-takes,” says Donna Berger, Of-

fice of Traffic Safety director. “Inturn, this technology is cuttingdown on impaired driving and cre-ating a safer driving environmentfor the traveling public.”

As the interlock program con-tinues to limit the amount of DWIreoffenders on Minnesota roads,law enforcement around the statecontinue a nationwide DWI en-forcement crackdown scheduledto run through Labor Day. Lawenforcement statewide arrested 425for DWI during the first weekendof activity (August 16-18), includ-ing several at or above an alcohol-concentration level of 0.16, mak-ing them eligible for interlock.Who is eligible for interlock

Repeat DWI offenders, as wellas first-time offenders arrested at0.16 and above alcohol-concen-tration level must use interlock inorder to regain legal driving privi-leges, or face at least one yearwithout a driver’s license. Offend-ers with three or more offensesare required to install interlock anduse for three to six years, or theywill never regain driving privi-leges.

Based on historical data, offi-

cials expect around 21,000 DWIoffenders to be eligible for inter-lock sanctions during a given year.Cost of an interlock is $3-$4 perday.

There are 32 states—includingMinnesota—that use ignition in-terlock for first-time DWI offend-ers.Interlock features

• “Rolling re-tests” require driverto provide a breath sample threeto five minutes after starting thevehicle, and randomly thereafter.

• In-car cameras record all breathtests. Video and test results areavailable for DPS to monitor.

• Specific hum or “suck back”patterns required when providingbreath sample.

• Users are required to have theinterlock calibrated monthly by aservice provider. Service provid-ers will run reports that indicatehow many times the vehicle started,number of rolling re-tests, and anytest fails (an alcohol-concentra-tion limit of 0.02 or above). Ser-vice providers will send reports toDPS for review and to take appro-priate action or extend sanctions.

Bogus phone calls on juryservice may lead to fraud

Throughout the United States,including in Minnesota, citizensare being targeted by phone callsand threatened with prosecutionfor failing to comply with juryservice in federal or state courts.

In the calls, the threat of a finefor shirking jury service is used tocoerce those called into provid-ing confidential data, potentiallyleading to identity theft and fraud.These calls are not from real courtofficials.

Federal courts do not requireanyone to provide any sensitiveinformation in a telephone call.Most contact between a federalcourt and a prospective juror willbe through the U.S. Mail, and anyphone contact by real court offi-cials will not include requests for

social security numbers, credit cardnumbers, or any other sensitiveinformation.

Jury duty is a vital civic respon-sibility and should be taken seri-ously by all citizens. However, itis a crime for anyone to falselyrepresent himself or herself as afederal court official. The federaljudiciary takes such offenses se-riously.

Anyone receiving such a phonecall should not provide the re-quested information and shouldimmediately contact the Clerk’sOffice by calling 612-664-5000.

September exhibitors at Crossingsshow their love of the outdoors

ZUMBROTA – Derek Davisand Richard Abrahamson each pro-fess a love for the outdoors, ex-pressed in the paintings they cre-ate in the open air, as they experi-ence nature by being surroundedby it. Davis and Abrahamson willexhibit their paintings at Cross-ings September 2-30. An openingreception is Saturday, September21, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. during ArtSplash, a regional art studio tour.

Davis is a second-generation

artist who says that painting is aprocess of self-discovery and ameans of expressing his appre-ciation of the wonder, the beautyand power of the world by paint-ing its shapes, colors, lights andshadows.

“Searching for the poetry of themoment and reaching to expressthat on canvas is sincerely grati-fying and challenging,” he said.“With every piece I continue tolearn, I strive to always be a stu-dent …”

Davis is usually found paintingoutside – “en plein air” – whichhe finds to be the most fulfillingmeans of expressing the inner pas-sion for the outdoor world. Hepaints primarily from life in wa-tercolor or oil.

Abraham grew up “surroundedby the beauty of Michigan’s Up-per Peninsula.” In 1998 he left acareer as a designer and illustra-tor and moved to Minneapolis totrain in traditional oil painting tech-niques. He immersed himself instudy, drawing and painting fromthe figure five days a week.

During this time he painted land-scapes on location for the first time,and discovered a passion for thesubtlety of nature.

“The challenge of working out-

doors consumed me and I haven’tlooked back,” he said. Seeking aconnection and empathy to theplaces that he depicts, he scoutsrural hideaways to paint in North-ern Minnesota, Wisconsin andUpper Michigan.

Both artists are members ofOutdoor Painters of Minnesota;Davis is a past president andAbraham is currently president ofthe organization.

The exhibit and reception arefree, and people may view theexhibit during regular hours:MTWF 10-5, Thurs. 10-8 and Sat.10-4. Crossings is located at 320East Ave. in Zumbrota. More atwww.crossingsatcarnegie.com.

THE CHURCH CORNER

The use of spiritual giftsBy Art OlsonFamily Worship Church

The book of 1 Corinthians, chap-ter 12 through chapter 14, dealswith the diversity and distributionof spiritual gifts, the spirit thatshould characterize their uses, andrules regulating their manifesta-tion in conduct among the con-gregation. In Corinth, the use andmisuse of spiritual gifts is the sec-ond subject for correction in theCorinthian Church. Having “firstof all” rebuked the CorinthianChurch for their unChrist-like andselfish conduct at the communiontable, Paul then reproved their self-ish action with respect to the “gift”which the Holy Spirit had giventhem for the profit of all. Spiritualgifts had become symbols of spiri-tual power, causing rivalries inthe church because some peoplethought they were more “spiritual”than others because of their gifts.

Paul reminds the Corinthianbelievers that he does not wantthem to be ignorant of the spiri-tual realm. He told them that be-fore they came to Christ they werepagans, and in some way or otherwere influenced and led astray tomute idols. Since they had beentranslated out of Satan’s kingdominto the God’s kingdom of Hisdear Son, and now, since Jesus istheir Lord, they should be led bythe Holy Spirit. (Colossians 1:13)

Paul states that there are variet-ies of spiritual gifts that have vari-ous functions and services, andworkings [outward manifestationsand results] of these spiritual gifts.These spiritual gifts were so im-portant that Paul mentions theTrinity (God the Father, God theSon, and God the Holy Spirit) in1Corinthians 12:4-6. So the Trin-ity is involved in the manifesta-tion of the spiritual gifts (wisdom,

knowledge, miracles, healings,etc.), and is given to every be-liever to help others. Paul ex-plains how these spiritual giftspromote unity and helping othersas needed. He gives the exampleof how the members of our physi-cal body (eyes, ears, hand, feet,etc.) work in unity to perform itsvarious functions. In the same way,every believer is to use his/herspiritual gifts to promote unity andperform his/her functions in thelocal church.

Since Paul compares the mem-bers of our body to spiritual giftsin a church, imagine how handi-capped you would be if you lostyour eyesight or hearing or youexperienced a paralyzing injuryor an incurable disease. In likemanner, church members are pow-erless without the gifts of the HolySpirit to provide miracles, healings,etc. to others in the congregation.

A man brought his arrogant, bitter and cruel boss homefor dinner. He had spoken often about how difficult it wasto work for him. His son stared at the guest for quite sometime but said nothing.

Finally, the boss asked, "Why are you staring at me?""Because," said the boy, "dad says you are a self-made

man and I'm wondering why you made yourself the wayyou are."

The Bible tells us that we were created in the image ofGod, that we were intended to be like Him.

Whenever we try to make ourselves into something otherthan what God intended for us to be, we end up in disaster.God has great plans for each of us. He wants our lives to befilled with the joy that comes from knowing His Son, JesusChrist as our Savior. He wants us to feel the comfort of Hispresence. He wants us to realize that His peace is availablewhen our hearts are troubled.

Most of all He wants us to give Him first place in ourlives. When we do this, we will have life with a capital "L."

Martech donates school supplies to ZM students

Photo by Alicia Hunt-WelchEmployees of Martech Services Company of Mazeppa filled 25 backpacks with school supplies for students from families in need. Assisting withthe project are, from left to right, Jamie Hanson, Jenny Olson, Donnie Jackson, Nancy Tri, Jeff Darcy, Trigg Sellers, Kurt Gilbertson, PeggyClemens, and Pat Theisen. Not pictured are Todd Wright and business owner Tom Wright.

By Alicia Hunt-WelchMAZEPPA – On the afternoon

of August 25, the employees ofMartech Services Company, andLa-Man Corporation, both ofMazeppa, took time from their busyschedules to fill 25 backpacks withthe necessary school supplies tobenefit K-6 students in need. Thebackpacks and all their contentswere donated to Zumbrota-Mazeppa Schools and distributedby the school counselor and so-cial worker. Martech came throughin a pinch after previous donorswere not able to contribute thefive backpacks they had in previ-ous years. Tom Wright, owner ofthe companies, said, “I can tellyou we all feel good being able tohelp these young folks with a bet-ter chance for a brighter future.”

Martech has been in Mazeppasince 1995. The company makessupplied air respiratory protectionequipment such as hoods, masks,

and hoses. Martech was foundedin 1991 and is well known acrossthe country. Many big name busi-nesses depend on their equipment,including NASCAR racing teams.Martech products cross both themanufacturing and automotivemarkets. La-Man manufacturescompressed air filtration, refrig-erator air dryers, and membranedryers. The company currentlyemploys eleven people in Mazeppa.

Rene Arendt works with theGoodhue County Education Dis-trict and is an early childhood so-cial worker. She said there are afair amount of kids from familiesthat can’t afford school supplies.She and ZM Elementary Schoolcounselor Pam Langley said thatin the past the school found themeans to supply students with theitems or helped obtain them. Arendtsaid many times the teachers justsupplied the items out of their owngenerosity. In recent years, area

churches, youth groups, the Sal-vation Army, and county organi-zations stepped up to donate sup-plies. But this year none were ableto assist.

Arendt then contacted Wrightat Martech to ask for his assis-tance. Wright said, “She has askedus if we could find a way to pro-vide five such backpacks. I askedher how many she really needed,and she said 25!” So Martech staffset out to provide just that. TomWright’s son Todd said, “Thechildren need it, so we are tryingto do all we can for the commu-nity.”

Jamie Hanson, the inside salesmanager for Martech, obtained listsof supplies needed for each grade.The school supplies list was thengiven to ALCO in Zumbrota. ToddWright said he and his father aresupporters of keeping businesslocal when they can. Hanson said

that whatever ALCO did not havein stock, Martech employees wereable to find elsewhere.

Using the lists for supplies bygrade, the Martech staff filled eachbackpack accordingly. As Arendtstood by watching the needs befilled, she spoke with the motherof a student on the phone.

By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA – Nearly every

day of the week, year-round, live-stock haulers bring animals to thenorth edge of Zumbrota alongCounty Road 6. They aren’t head-ing to the Goodhue County Fair-grounds, but across the road to theZumbrota Market of the CentralLivestock Association. July 2013marked the tenth anniversary ofCentral Livestock owning themarket. As a thank you to themarket’s customers, buyers andstaff for their dedication and sup-port through the years, CentralLivestock will host a CustomerAppreciation 10th anniversarySpecial Feeder Cattle Sale on Sep-tember 12 to celebrate the historyof the Central Livestock ZumbrotaMarket.History of the Zumbrota Market

Though the Zumbrota Markethas been part of Central LivestockAssociation for ten years, its his-tory goes back several decades.The Art Tostrud family was thefirst family to own and operate itwhen they opened the ZumbrotaLivestock Pavilion. Shortly after,in 1964, the Webster family ofDon, Pat, Tom and Jerry took thebusiness over. Other than a shortperiod in the 1970s, the Websterfamily continued to own and op-

erate it until 2003 when CentralLivestock purchased the facilitynaming it Central Livestock Zum-brota Market.Central Livestock Association

Livestock production continuesto play an important role in midwestagriculture, resulting in livestockmarkets and stockyards playing akey role in the industry. CentralLivestock Association is a 90-year-old livestock marketing companythat owns and operates markets inseveral locations in the midwestto serve cattle, horse, swine, sheep,and goat producers.

In addition to the ZumbrotaMarket, Central Livestock alsoowns markets in Albany and RockCreek, and West Fargo, NorthDakota. The South St. Paul stock-yards, where the commission firstopened in 1921, closed in 2008.However, the corporate headquar-ters remain there. Technology hasimpacted the business withwebsites, cellphones and onlinebidding being added to thelongstanding daily radio programsand market reports to keep live-stock producers informed and intouch.Zumbrota Market

There are 37 employees at theZumbrota site, including thoseworking in the café and at

Stockman’s Supply, a full servicelivestock equipment and farm sup-ply store. Bob Young has beenthe manager at the Zumbrota Mar-ket since 2008. John Hoernemann,Don Huntington, Dale Krier andDonnie Dohrn are the Zumbrotafield service representatives.

Hoernermann (also known as“Big John”) said 300,000 head oflivestock pass through the Zum-brota location annually, comingfrom a 100-mile radius. Buyersare primarily from the same ra-dius, though with the option ofinternet bidding, even internationalbids and purchases have occurred.

Depending on the type and sizeof the sale, the number of peopleon site for an auction varies.Hoenermann noted a recent Mon-day auction had 100 buyers, sell-ers and spectators in attendance.The eight-hour auction offered avariety of cows, bulls and babycalves. On other days of the week,auctions are held for sheep, goats,hogs, and dairy cattle.

Not all sellers or buyers havetheir own livestock trailers. Thisis where people like Jerry Ericksonof Zumbrota come in. On aver-age, Erickson can be found arriv-ing or leaving the market, or in thecafé waiting for a sale to be com-pleted, five days a week. Erickson

has been a livestock hauler since1965, sometimes taking five orsix loads of animals to the marketin one day.
