Falk Auto Body in Zumbrota is sold

Jay and Mary Erickson (left) have purchased Falk Auto Body in Zumbrota from Nancy and Don Falk (right).The business, located at 220 West 1st Street, will now be known as Falk Collision.

By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA – On September

24, Jay and Mary Erickson pur-chased Falk Auto Body and Trimfrom Don and Nancy Falk, end-ing 57 years of ownership withinthe Falk family. Don’s father,Marvin opened the business, lo-cated at 220 West 1st Street, in1958. Don took over in 1980.

Jay Erickson, one of the long-time employees, has worked forDon since 1989. On a personalnote, Don said, “Marvin would beproud to know Jay is taking thebusiness into the future.”

Expect to see only one majorchange: the business’ name haschanged from Falk Auto Body andTrim to Falk Collision. The Falkswill continue to own and operatetheir other auto body shop in RedWing, which they have owned forover 20 years.

The Zumbrota business willcontinue to specialize in auto bodyrepairs. It also offers vehicle ac-cessories for purchase. Hours willremain the same: open Mondaythrough Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.The phone number is 732-5218.

With Don growing up in thebusiness and Jay also working inauto collision repair for over 25years, both have seen consider-able change in the field. The me-chanics of the work has changed,largely due to computerization.When asked to clarify if the com-puterization had to do with thevehicles or with how they do of-fice-related work, their unified

response was “Both.” Don talkedof the electronics and computersin cars now. Jay noted that, spe-cializing with collision repair, theywork with insurance companiesroutinely, with much of it done bycomputers. Estimates and pay-ments are also done by computer.

Don said the business is nowserving the third generation of fami-lies; some customers are even

fourth generation. “The businesshas had a strong name and reputa-tion in Zumbrota and surround-ing area,” Nancy said. “And it willremain the same,” Don added.

The four current auto body tech-nicians will remain at Falk Colli-sion. Traditionally, auto body tech-nicians begin their training at avocational school. With constantchange in technology, all of thetechnicians at Falk Collision re-

ceive ongoing training and are I-CAR Certified. I-CAR is the In-ter-Industry Conference on AutoCollision Repair, a well-knowninternational, not-for-profit, autotechnician training organization.

Jay Erickson, also a native ofthe Zumbrota area, said he looksforward to continue serving cus-tomers and receiving “continuedsupport from Zumbrota and thearea.”

FromDevil’sKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

Fences – good and bad

What is the purpose of a fence?What makes it a good or bad fence?A fence is a structure for eitherkeeping something in an area orout of it. Some examples are aprivate playground such as a back-yard. You put little ones in it andkeep the gates locked. They can’tget out until they learn to unlockthe gate – then you need betterlocks. Also, the locks and fencewill stop others from coming in.

A bad fence is one that doesn’tkeep anyone in or out. It is a deco-ration, and the more decorativethe more useless. It becomes awaste of resources. An exampleof this kind of fence is on the westside of Rochester along CircleDrive. A cluster of apartments havea fancy stone fence with “gates”in the back of the building next toCircle Drive. The fence doesn’t

enclose anything. You can goaround either end of it and get tothe paved walkway or even ontoCircle Drive – not a place to putlittle ones. This fence may be con-sidered pretty, but it is useless, awaste of resources, and thereforeugly. The truly sad point is thatthe fence could have enclosed theback area by connecting the fenceto the ends of the building. It wouldhave use and function as well asbeauty.

Memorial walls are different.They don’t enclose but are invit-ingly open. Their purpose is tohold the names and history of theevent being memorialized. It be-comes a place for those who re-member the people to reinforcethe memories of the event and thepeople. On a grander scale, cem-eteries are the ultimate memorial.Fences are there to protect the deadand keep out the vandal (some-what). An added plus about cem-eteries is we get an old, rotten joke.“Why do we put fences around acemetery? Because people aredying to get in.”

We even have “gated” neigh-borhoods with solid stone fencesaround the neighborhood and gateswith locks. People must have akey or a password to open the gate.If you live in a gated neighbor-hood and you decide to have aparty, someone has to stay by themain gate to let guests in and out.A completely gated communityhas to have guards to open/closethe gates for emergency reasons.

Fences and enclosing walls areusually designed to keep peoplein and other people out. Prisonsand even towns have become“gated.” Remember the BerlinWall in Germany? The entire east-ern half of the city had a wall andfence around it. The wall kept EastGermans in and West Germansout. The wall and fences came downwhen the East Germans decidedthey didn’t want to be dividedanymore. It took a lot persuasionby the Western nations to havethe Soviet Union remove the wall.Some walls and fences are good,some are bad, and some are worth-less. Until next week.

Bountiful bulbs

There’s nothing like the hint ofcrisp fall air to rejuvenate avidgardeners. The work-weary, wiltedweeders are magically transformedinto bustling buyers of bountifulbulbs with a mere ten degree dropin temperature. Who can possiblyresist the lure of yellow daffodils,red tulips, and blue crocuses fill-ing all those full color catalogswhen the weather is so coopera-tive?

Fall planting of spring bloom-ing bulbs makes good sense be-cause it extends garden blossomsby almost two months. That’s es-pecially welcome after a longMinnesota winter. Bulbs also fitwell between hostas and other

perennials, because they need timeto restore bulb energy after bloom-ing. The hosta leaves hide the wilt-ing tulips, daffodils, etc. as theyover grow them. Then in spring,the bulbs burst into bloom longbefore the perennials even breakdormancy.

If one doesn’t remember wherebulbs are planted, one can easilydig up, damage, or destroy themwhile adding perennials or annu-als to the garden. Use grape hya-cinths to mark the areas wherebulbs have been planted. The leavesfrom the grape hyacinths appearin late summer to warn you thatbulbs are already planted there.And the flowers appear in latespring to warn you not to add newplantings. Just intersperse threeto five grape hyacinths among thetulips, daffodils, etc. when plant-ing and you’ll know exactly wherethey are hidden below the soil line.And the blue adds a striking colorcontrast for free.

Should you want to naturalize

bulb plantings, be sure to checkhardiness and see which varietiesare recommended for that purpose.Slow-release fertilizer or “bulbfood” is always recommended atthe time of planting. Also, plant atthe depth shown on the package.And don’t cut down after the bulbshave flowered; they need leavesand stems in order to produce foodfor the next year.

Squirrels consider tulips candy,but they are not fond of daffodils,allium, or fritillaria. So commonsense suggests mixing these bulbsin with the tulips to protect yourtulip population. Planting tulipsdeeper than suggested also helps.But chicken wire cages work bestagainst rodent damage. I use largesuet holders because they keeppests from digging, and me fromaccidentally chopping into bulbswhen dividing overgrown hostas.I may dig up the suet feeder butthe bulbs remain unscathed tobloom yet another year.

Smoke alarms are a critical fire safety toolBy Kristina StolpOronoco Fire Department

If I asked you where your smokealarms are in your home, couldyou tell me? If you’re like manypeople, you may not pay muchattention to where smoke alarmshave been installed. However, lo-cation matters when it comes tosmoke alarms.

Smoke alarms should be installedinside each bedroom, outside eachsleeping area and on every levelof the home, including the base-ment.

Working smoke alarms are acritical fire safety tool that canmean the difference between lifeand death in a home fire. Accord-ing to the nonprofit National FireProtection Association (NFPA),smoke alarms can cut the chanceof dying in a home fire in half.Meanwhile, NFPA data shows thathome fires killed 2,755 people in2013, an average of eight peopleevery day that year. Many of thesedeaths could have been preventedwith proper smoke alarm protec-tion.

As a member of the fire servicefor many years, I’ve seen the dev-astating effects of fire first-hand.The burn injuries and the loss ofhomes and possessions are dis-tressing. What’s even worse iswitnessing a family’s anguish af-ter a loved one has been killed in afire. It’s heartbreaking.

As the official sponsor of Fire

Prevention Week, October 4-10,2015, NFPA is promoting, “Hearthe Beep Where You Sleep. Ev-ery Bedroom Needs a WorkingSmoke Alarm!” The purpose is toeducate the public about the truevalue of working smoke alarms inthe bedroom. In support of theseefforts, Oronoco Fire Departmentwill be hosting an open houseWednesday, October 7, from 5-7p.m.

My sincere hope is that allOronoco residents participate inone or more Fire Prevention Weekactivities, and make sure there areworking smoke alarms installedthroughout their homes. Thesesimple steps can help make a life-saving difference, and prevent thepotentially life-threatening impactof fire.

Here are additional smoke alarmtips to follow:

• Interconnect all smoke alarms

throughout the home. When onesounds, they all sound.

• Test alarms each month bypushing the test button.

• Replace all smoke alarms, in-cluding alarms that use 10-yearbatteries and hard-wired alarms,when they are 10 year old or soonerif they do not respond properly.

• Make sure everyone in the homeknows the sound and understandswhat to do when they hear thesmoke alarm.

• If the smoke alarm sounds, getoutside and stay outside.

• Go do your outside meetingplace. Call the fire department fromoutside the home.

By Alicia Hunt-WelchKENYON – During the 2015-

16 school year, Sarah Benrud willserve as the student representa-tive on the Kenyon-WanamingoSchool Board. The high schoolsenior became interested in theposition because of the experienceand the knowledge she could learnfrom observing and taking part inthe business meetings.

Superintendent Jeff Pesta said,“Sarah pursued the opportunity andwas highly recommended by theKW faculty. She has been veryenthusiastic and has demonstrateda strong desire to develop her lead-ership skills through this role.”

Sarah Benrud appointed studentrepresentative to KW School Board

Benrud was selected at the endof the last school year. Pesta said,“Last spring, Sarah jumped in earlyand was a member of the hiringcommittee for the new secondaryschool principal.”

In July, she attended her firstschool board meeting as a studentrep and took her seat at the table.

Having sat in on a few schoolboard meetings now, Benrud said,“It’s a very interesting and some-times confusing process. I’m learn-ing about the business aspect ofthe school. I’ve never really beenexposed to that.” She has beeninvolved with school governmentand numerous other school activi-

ties for many years, so there weresome topics she expected. Yet sheadmitted, “There are quite of fewthings that get discussed that I nevereven considered before.”

Benrud is involved in studentcouncil, National Honor Society,band, and choir, among other ac-tivities. High school principal MattRyan said, “Sarah is our studentcouncil president. During these firstthree weeks of the school year, Ihave found Sarah to be very orga-nized, responsible, and mature. Shehas provided leadership in prepa-ration for Homecoming Week andI’m very appreciative of all thework she has put into making

Homecoming Week a great expe-rience for our students.”

During her senior year Benrudis participating in the Post-Sec-ondary Enrollment Option programby taking online classes throughthe University of Northwestern –St. Paul. She continues to take bandand choir classes at KW during

the day.Pesta said the school board will

discuss the possibility of expand-ing the role of the non-voting stu-dent representative this year toinclude the student to a greaterdegree in general board discus-sions.

By Sandy HadlerRED WING – Goodhue County

Administrator Scott Arneson toldthe county commissioners at theirSeptember 1 meeting that the pro-cedure they were following todetermine the 2016 levy was back-wards, because they were attempt-ing to set a preliminary levy be-fore finalizing the budget. As hestruggled to come up with finan-cial figures that had been requestedby the commissioners, he stated,“This is not how we normally dothis.”

Commissioner Jason Majerus’sproposal in early July to have aflat levy for 2016 has resulted inextensive, extra work for FinanceDirector Carolyn Holmsten andothers who have worked diligentlyto reduce the $1.2 million dollardeficit caused by Majerus’s re-quest. It has also resulted in anumber of heated arguments. WhileBoard Chairman Ted Seifert andCommissioner Ron Allen supportthe zero levy proposal, Commis-sioner Dan Rechtzigel and Com-missioner Brad Anderson arestrongly opposed.

Arneson explained to the boardthat after a number of workshopswith staff, the preliminary budgetwas $900,000 less than what hadoriginally been noted. The resultis a 2016 preliminary budget of$59,054,357, with a preliminarylevy of $29,071,102, which is a3.77 percent tax rate levy increase.A surprise reduction in health in-surance costs helped to furtherreduce the budget.

Anderson was going to make amotion to accept the proposed pre-liminary budget, but noted that hewas not happy with the proposedbudget, stating that he wantedmoney to be set aside to refill de-pleted fund balances and for tech-nology upgrades and roof replace-ments. “We are being very fis-cally irresponsible if we don’t,”he said. “We are depleting ourfund balances and then what dowe do? We either take care of thisor we will be spending a whole lotof money to replace what we didn’ttake care of.”

Seifert responded, “What we aretalking about is people not beingable to afford rent or find jobs thatcan support them. That is moreimportant to me than doing pre-ventive maintenance on housingthat people can’t afford.” He feltthe county’s levy was contribut-ing to the problem.

Rechtzigel asked him, “Are yousure it is because of the county taxrate that people don’t have themeans to pay for housing, or is it

because of (high) rent, or they don’thave money to pay for housingfor other reasons? You can’t saypeople can’t afford to live in ahouse because of taxes, unless youactually go out there and find outwhy.”

Seifert pointed out that the lack-luster economy and householdincomes, which have deterioratedin the last seven years, have con-tributed to the problem. But hefelt taxes were also responsiblefor the problem.

Rechtzigel responded that thecounty portion of taxes for a$70,000 house is only around $300a year. He said the county couldprobably raise the levy 15% and itwould go from $300 to $315 ayear.

“I don’t want you getting thatout to the public that our tax rate isincredibly high so they can’t af-ford to live here,” said Rechtzigel.He said historically the tax rate inthe county has dropped substan-tially over the last 10-12 years.

Seifert mentioned that theschool’s portion of taxes has in-creased, and Rechtzigel responded,“Remember we are independentof those other bodies. You are notcommissioner of the school or thecity. They have to be accountableas well.”

Rechtzigel went on to say thathe didn’t think it is fair to say thatan increase in the levy means resi-dents can’t afford their rent, whenan increase in the levy could meantaxes go down.

Rechtzigel asked Seifert if he’dstay at a zero increase in the levyforever, being as he had never votedfor a levy increase in the twelveyears he’s been on the board. Seifertresponded, “That’s because I al-ways had commissioners on theboard willing to raise it.”

At this point, Rechtzigel, over-come by emotion, started shout-ing, “So you’ve taken the easyway out, the chicken way out.You’ve let three commissionersdo the responsible budget whileyou run out and tell the people‘look at me. I never raise taxes.’ Itis not right or honest.”

Rechtzigel told Seifert, “Out ofall your ideas, you’ve only comeup with a $200,000 solution for a$1.2 million deficit.”

Despite strongly supporting azero levy in 2016, Allen, in anattempt to compromise and resolvetheir differences, recommended a2.9 percent levy increase over lastyear’s levy to counter the 3.77percent levy increase recom-mended by staff members. Allen’srecommendation would still re-

quire the board to cut an addi-tional $243,000 in the preliminary2016 budget. He said he has a num-ber of ideas to bridge the financialgap. It was pointed out that thelevy was not on the agenda thatevening and they could not voteon it.

Earlier in the evening, Rechtzigelsaid he would prefer to adopt theproposed budget and levy at thesame meeting, being as everythingwas still so fluid. He had said, “AsI hear the discussion going on,I’m getting nervous. We are hav-ing a good discussion, but I don’tfeel comfortable proceeding to-night.” He referred to these ear-lier comments, and stated he wouldstill prefer not to vote that evening.

If necessary, Arneson said thecommissioners could hold a com-mittee of the whole meeting tofurther discuss the 2016 budgetbefore the September 15 deadline.

Majerus spoke only once dur-ing the budget and levy discus-sion. He said, “I agree with Com-missioner Anderson. I want to seea lot of the stuff funded and getthe fund balances up, but you don’thave my support to increase anyspending until I’m fully satisfiedthat every dollar that the taxpayerspends is being respected, and atthis point it’s not happening.”

Seifert suggested tabling dis-cussion before going to a vote. Amotion was made by Rechtzigeland seconded by Allen to tablethe vote until the September 15meeting. All were in favor of themotion.

The board must set the 2016preliminary levy on September 15.Changes in the levy can be madeuntil the December deadline, butthe commissioners will only beallowed to decrease, not increasethe levy at that time.Other business

Before the regular meeting thecommissioners met in a closedsession to discuss employee unionnegotiations.

The board approved the con-sent agenda which included an off-site gambling permit for WellsCreek Riders Snowmobile Club;a Federal Recreational Trail Pro-gram Grant; and the 2015 Emer-gency Management PerformanceGrant contract.

Land Use Management Direc-tor Lisa Hanni discussed MaurcieFinucan’s request for a change ofzoning district from B-2 highwaybusiness to an R-1 Suburban resi-dential district. He also requesteda conditional use permit for amanufactured home park, whichdoes not require a public hearing.

Both requests will bring the prop-erty in Welch Township into com-pliance with the zoning ordinance.The request was approved.

A conditional use permit wasgranted to C & J Breuer LLC/CraigBreuer for a swine feedlot of over500 animal units with manure stor-age exceeding 500,0000 gallonsin an under floor concrete pit, anda feedlot outside a farmyard. Theparcel of land is located in BelvidereTownship.

School bus ownership is changing

Scott and Ashley Kennedy stand by one of the school buses they purchased from Sugar Loaf Bus Service. Theyare in the process of transitioning the school bus service from Scott’s parents, Mike and Barb Kennedy, andhave renamed it Kennedy Transportation. They provide bus service to Zumbrota-Mazeppa Schools.

By Dori KleinNot only have the school buses

been on the go since the start ofthe school year, the ownership ofthem is moving too. Scott Kennedyand his wife Ashley are in the pro-cess of purchasing Sugar Loaf BusService from Scott’s parents, Barband Mike Kennedy. They are re-naming the bus service KennedyTransportation.

Scott said that so far they havepurchased two buses. “Those twobuses already say ‘Zumbrota-Mazeppa School’ on the side,” hesaid. Plans are to add another busnext year and another one the fol-lowing year, phasing out SugarLoaf Bus Service. “Hopefullywithin seven or eight years wewill totally transition over toKennedy Transportation,” headded.

Between Mazeppa and Zum-brota there are a total of eleven

routes. Five originate fromMazeppa and six fromZumbrota. Students are then trans-ported to and from each of theschools. There are also two spe-cial education buses. The bus ser-vice runs a late route and also trans-ports students on all sports trips.

Scott has sixteen bus drivers,three of whom serve assubstitutes. He said that they arealways looking for new driversand suggested interested individu-als give him a call. In addition todrivers, Mark Robinson works onthe buses that are housed inMazeppa and Scott himself takescare of the buses in Zumbrota.

In talking about his and Ashley’sdecision to purchase the bus com-pany, Scott said that when his par-ents began talking about retire-ment he didn’t want to see thecompany sold. However, having

drifted back and forth three or fourtimes between other jobs and work-ing for them, he said, “I had toearn my keep to prove to them Iwas here to stay.”

Ashley is excited about their newventure. “We needed somethingmore family friendly,” shesaid. The couple have twochildren. Although she works atXcel Energy in emergency pre-paredness, she is starting to helpwith the paperwork connected tooperating the bus service and planson eventually taking over. She alsoplans to obtain her CommercialDrivers License (CDL) and drivebus.

Although Scott’s parents aretransitioning out of the school busbusiness, Scott noted that theywon’t be totally retiring. “Theywill continue to operate the char-ter buses,” he said.

By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA – Seven years

ago, LaVonne Scharpen of Zum-brota was told that some day shewould be in need of a liver trans-plant. As her symptoms escalatedthis past summer, the time arrived.Now, Scharpen has advertised fora living donor. At the same time,she hopes to increase awarenessof the need for liver and other or-gan donors for other patients need-ing a transplant.The need

LaVonne and her husband Lylenow know first-hand the great needfor organ donors. Currently, about17,000 adults and children havebeen medically approved for livertransplants in the United Statesand are waiting for donated liversto become available. The waitinglist grows every year. 6,000 livertransplants are performed annu-ally in the U.S., and the numbercontinues to rise.

The two also know the successrates for transplantation and thatapproximately 3000 liver trans-plants (children and adults) havebeen performed by surgeons atMayo Clinic in Rochester sincetheir program began in 1985. TheMayo Clinic website notes that in2011, surgeons performed 124 livertransplants, including 22 livingdonor liver transplants in Roch-ester.

The Scharpens hope their situ-ation will “heighten the aware-ness of the need” for donors andencourage individuals to considerhow to become an organ donor -whether a living donor or a de-ceased donor – to help meet thesevere shortage.Diagnosis: NASH grade 4

The liver’s primary job is to fil-ter the blood coming from the di-gestive tract, before passing it tothe rest of the body. The liver alsodetoxifies chemicals and metabo-lizes drugs. As it does so, the liversecretes bile that ends up back inthe intestines. The liver also makesproteins important for blood clot-ting and other functions.

Following gall bladder surgeryseven years ago, testing was doneafter the surgeon saw the condi-tion of Scharpen’s liver. A diag-nosis of nonalcoholic fatty liverdisease, a term used to describethe accumulation of fat in the liverof people who drink little or noalcohol. While the disease is com-mon and, for most people, causesno signs, symptoms, or complica-tions, the fat that accumulates cancause inflammation and scarringin the liver. This more serious formof nonalcoholic fatty liver diseaseis sometimes called nonalcoholicsteatohepatitis (NASH). Scharpenwas told she had NASH grade 4and to go and live life. However,at some point, she would require aliver transplant. She was also toldthat the disease had no cure andthey would “just be treating thesymptoms.”

Escalation of symptomsScharpen is also a diabetic. Sev-

eral new or increased symptomsshe experienced this past year,including itching, loss of weight,and fatigue, she initially attrib-uted to diabetes. In retrospect,though, the symptoms were dueto her liver failing. In mid-July,these symptoms suddenly esca-lated. She was unable to get hershoes on due to the swelling ofher feet and ankles. The swellingwas a build-up of fluid and twoliters of fluid were removed. Ini-tial work-up results indicated thata transplant was needed.

In early August, two weeks ofadditional testing and evaluationwas done at Mayo Clinic – Roch-ester, where Scharpen also seesher primary care physician. Theprocess included laboratory, im-aging, and heart tests; a generalhealth exam; nutrition counseling;a psychological evaluation; meet-ings with social workers; and fi-nancial counseling.

Now, with the help of a stack ofmaterials they received during theevaluation and information ses-sions, Lyle and LaVonne can bothknowledgeably speak about whatto expect for each of them and fora possible donor. LaVonne pointedto a handout of a slide presenta-tion they had attended. When theslide with a list of indications forneeding a liver transplant was putup, she said, “I had all the symp-toms.”Transplant list

Once the determination is madethat a patient is in need of a trans-plant, doctors use the results ofliver function tests and other fac-tors to determine prognosis andwhere the patient is placed on thetransplant waiting list. The Modelfor End-Stage Liver Disease(MELD) score is used to quantifyend-stage liver disease for trans-plant planning. The higher theMELD score, the more critical thesituation, and organs are allocatedbased on the scores. People withhigher MELD scores generally areoffered donated livers first. MELDscores range from 6 to 40.

Initially, Scharpen was given alow score, but it was later revisedupward to 15. With the number ofpatients needing transplants ex-ceeding the number of donor liv-ers, the chances of her undergo-ing a deceased donor transplant atthis point is low. Conditions wouldneed to be met, including her bloodtype, size of donor, and proximityto Rochester. Deceased donor liv-ers must be transplanted within afew hours.

Another option is a living do-nor.Living donor

At this point, Scharpen is hop-ing a living donor can be identi-fied for her. Liver transplantationcan be done using a portion of theliver from a living donor, an op-tion that may result in a shorter

waiting period and equal or im-proved life expectancy.

Family member or friends will-ing to undergo this process mustalso meet certain criteria includ-ing age (18-60 years old) andmatching blood type (Scharpen’sblood type is A positive). Addi-tional blood tests to determine ifblood and tissue types are com-patible with the organ recipientare needed. If initial test resultsare favorable, transplant staff alsointerview the potential candidatewho will need to provide a medi-cal history. A thorough physicalexamination and psychologicalevaluation is also required of thedonor.

Lyle and LaVonne pointed outthat the donor’s surgery would bepaid for by LaVonne’s insurance.In living-donor liver transplant,surgeons remove a portion of adonor’s liver. Another surgicalteam then removes the recipient’sentire diseased liver and replacesit with a portion of the living donor’shealthy liver. Both the donor’s liverand the portion of the donor’s livergiven to the recipient grow backto their full size within a few weeks.An adult liver is about the size ofa football and is located on theright side of the abdomen, behindthe ribs.

Only one potential donor isevaluated at a time. “If one matches,there is no need to go forward withothers,” explained Lyle. A few oftheir family members have ex-pressed their willingness to bedonors. At this time, however, amatching donor has not been iden-tified.

If you are interested in becom-ing a living donor, call Mayo ClinicTransplant Division at 1-866-227-7501 for more information. TheScharpens cannot take or respondto inquiry of living donor calls.They pointed out that a separatemedical team evaluates donors andprivacy is protected.In the meantime

Waiting for a donor liver couldbe days or months. It is possiblethat a donor liver that is a goodmatch might not become avail-able. In the meantime, patients aretreated for the complications oftheir liver failure. Scharpen saidher medications have been adjustedand new ones added. Though herdiabetic medication has beenstopped, zinc and Vitamin A wereadded due to a drop in those lev-els. She also takes a diuretic andmeds to help her bowel and herbrain - both impacted by liver dis-ease.

Over the course of severalmonths, Scharpen has lost 30pounds. Continued weight loss isa concern, particularly if shedoesn’t receive a transplant be-fore losing too much weight. Onthe positive side, Scharpen has nothad any additional fluid build-upsince the episode in July.

During the past few months, shehas experienced increased fatigue.Recent grocery shopping ex-hausted her. In addition to pick-ing up the shopping responsibili-ties, Lyle said he has also taken ona chauffer role, as LaVonne hasbasically stopped driving. Whileexercise is encouraged, LaVonnehas found that “walks out the drive-way are about all I can do.”

LaVonne Scharpen in need of liver transplantWhat’s next?

As Scharpen awaits her livertransplant, she continues to bemonitored. A nurse coordinatormakes regular calls to check onhow she is doing. Her primaryphysician also monitors her health.

After a transplant, the Scharpensknow what to expect. She will re-main in the hospital one to twoweeks. A stay at the Gift of Life

Transplant House in Rochester willfollow to closely monitor her. Afterher return home, she will need 24/7 monitoring for three months.Challenges, including rejection andinfection, are possible. Scharpenwill need to be on anti-rejectiondrugs the rest of her life.

As she awaits a liver donor,Scharpen said, “Either I get a trans-plant or I don’t. Either way, I leaveit in God’s hands.”

Bottom photo: Shortly after Dolph Bezoier returned home after servingin the Army, he and Ursula Kubalske were married in Minneapolis onOctober 6, 1945. The two met while attending West High School inMinneapolis.

By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA – Ursula

Kubalske and Dolph Bezoier ofZumbrota were married October6, 1945, at Trinity Lutheran Churchin Minneapolis. The Bezoiers willcelebrate their 70th wedding an-niversary with family and friendson Sunday, October 4, 2015, inthe Fellowship Hall of UnitedRedeemer Lutheran Church (560West 3rd St) between morningservices. Cake and coffee will beserved beginning at 9 a.m. All arewelcome to attend and greet thecouple.

The couple met while studentsattending West High School inMinneapolis. During Ursula’s se-nior year, Dolph assisted the di-rector of music at the school, whileUrsula was in the choir. It wasduring this time that they begandating, with Dolph using hisgrandfather’s car to pick Ursulaup for dates.

After completion of high school,Dolph attended St. Olaf College,but left while still a student to jointhe service. His time with theArmy’s Signal Corps took him toseveral places including Austra-lia, Africa, France, and England.Letters

During the 37 months Dolphwas away, the couple exchangedweekly letters. Both kept all ofthe letters which are now sortedand stored in a large box. Includedin the collection are many thatDolph received from Ursula viaV-mail, short for Victory Mail.V-mail was a hybrid mail processused during World War II by the

United States as the primary andsecure method to correspond withsoldiers stationed abroad. To re-duce the cost of transferring anoriginal letter through the mili-tary postal system, a V-mail letterwould be censored, copied to film,and printed back to paper after itarrived at its destination.

When Dolph was deployed backto the United States in July 1945,his letter to Ursula said to “go getyour dress,” meaning a weddingdress. They were married a shorttime after he returned to Minne-sota.Minnesota

The couple has remained livingin Minnesota. Dolph completedhis studies at St. Olaf in Northfieldbefore he student-taught in the area.He continued with his teachingcareer, teaching choral music inhigh schools located in southwest-ern Minnesota and in Edina.

In the 1970s, the Bezoiers movedto the Zumbrota area (Forest Mills)where they built a new home, di-rected the church choir, and didhog farming. Dolph taught a num-ber of years at the CommunityCollege in Rochester. In 1997, theymoved into the town of Zumbrota.Success to marriage

In discussing their success tomarriage, Ursula said “If we hadproblems, we ironed them outduring the day. We never went tobed with a cross word.” Dolphwas to the point with his responsewhen asked what he thinks of hisbride of 70 years. He said, “She’sterrific!”

Pieta Brown to performat Crossings October 2

ZUMBROTA – Critically ac-claimed singer/songwriter PietaBrown brings her poetic style,steeped in folk and blues, to theCrossings stage on Friday, Octo-ber 2, at 7:30 p.m. Joining her willbe guitarist Bo Ramsey.

Brown’s music has a young voicebut an old soul. She writes strik-ing poetry that she sings with ahaunting voice and an unmistak-able style. Her unique blend ofalt-country, folk, blues and indie-rock speaks to music fans aroundthe world and has garnered ravereviews from the likes of the BBCand Boston Globe.

Hers is a voice that demandsattention without rattling the cage– soft, seductive, bearing the flick-ering, genteel ghost of a Southerndrawl. One leans into it to get closer,to catch the drift, and quickly dis-covers that this aural voice func-tions as something of a stealthvehicle for a substantial writer’svoice that’s lean, elegant and –above all – utterly devoid of pre-tense.

She has released six albums,most recently “Paradise Outlaw,”featuring organically orchestratedarrangements that accentuate theinsight and intimacy of Brown’slyrics, the understated craftsman-ship of her tunes, and the alluringimmediacy of her uniquely expres-sive voice.

Although the Alabama-bred,Iowa-based Brown’s quietly riv-eting tunes and gritty, charismaticperforming style resist easy cat-egorization, they’ve helped her towin a fiercely loyal internationalfan base that extends to many ofher fellow artists.

“When Pieta sings you’re awareof something effortless and natu-ral, like rain on earth,” MarkKnopfler (Dire Straits) observed,while Don Was called her “a greatsinger-songwriter who possessesmajor star-power magnetism.”
