Kenyon-Wanamingo School welcomes new staff

By Alicia Hunt-Welch
Many new staff members have
been hired to teach at KenyonWanamingo Schools this fall. They
began their first day on August 27
with an orientation that included
a bus tour of the district with lunch
and a history presentation of the
communities by Kevin Anderson
and Todd Greseth. Below are the
new teachers who are gearing up
to begin the school year on September 8 and 10.
Megan Sabrowsky
Fourth grade
For much of the 2014-15 school

year Megan Sabrowsky worked
as a long-term substitute teacher
in the first grade. Born in South
Korea, she was raised in Cannon
Falls by her mother (a first grade
teacher) and her father (a vacuum
truck operator). As a child she had
dreams of becoming a basketball
player in the WNBA until I found
out that my height would not be
changing, she said with a laugh.
She then considered being a standup comedian, a dolphin trainer, a
writer, a teacher, a veterinarian,
and a firefighter, and many other
things.
As a high school student she
decided on nursing. I am a people
person and love to help others, so
my mind went straight to nursing, she said. But after a year of
college she decided it wasnt for

her: I realized that I could help
others in more ways than just the
medical field. So she switched
her major to education. She said,
It was a giant change, but the
best decision I have ever
made!...My mom is a teacher, and
I have always looked up to her as
a role model and hero. Her love
for teaching, and the way she makes
a difference in the lives of others
is amazing. I would say she had
the biggest influence on me, and
she probably didnt even realize
it.
Sabrowsky earned her bachelors
of science in education at Winona
State University. She has worked
in a variety of school districts as a
substitute for pre-K through eighth
grade classes. However, her time
at KW left a remarkable impression. She said, From the moment
I stepped into the school in
Wanamingo I knew it was unique
and where I wanted to be...During
my time [as a long-term sub] I
was truly amazed at the things I
saw. The incredible love for children that is displayed by the teachers in the school is amazing. The
way staff work together to make it
a safe, welcoming, and fun environment is something that I had
never seen. It felt like home when
you walked in, and I could not be
more excited to be part of this new

family!
This year Sabrowsky will find
her home in the fourth grade classroom. When asked how KW
School wont be the same with
her as a teacher, she said because
I am going to bring a new level
of excitement, energy, and laughter. I am going to work to prepare
students for the future, and teach
them to love learning.
Fun facts about Sabrowsky: She
loves to spend time with friends
and family, play sports, listen to
music (Lets just put it this way
I love country music!) and work
out at Snap Fitness.
Blair Reynolds
Fifth/sixth grade
Born and raised in South Saint

Paul, Blair Reynolds received his
bachelors in communications
from Metropolitan State University in 1999, and his masters in
teaching from the College of St.
Scholastica in 2014.
Reynoldss father taught elementary school for 35 years and his
younger sister is also a teacher.
He, however, went into communications and journalism and had
a dozen years of success along
that path. But after his father passed
away he realized what he wanted
for his future. It wasnt until I

ZM will participate in National

School Climate Initiative
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
ZUMBROTA At the Zumbrota-Mazeppa School Board
meeting on August 24, K-6 principal Quinn Rasmussen reported
that he recently attended an informational meeting to prepare for
the National School Climate Initiative that the school will participate in during 2015-16.
The district will use input from
personnel, parents, and students
on secure online surveys from the
National School Climate Center
(NSCC) in New York to assess its
strengths and needs to develop a
positive school climate. The NSCC
has compiled years of research on
the effects of school climate on
school life.
School climate refers to the quality and character of school life. It
reflects norms, goals, expectations,
and values. Safety, relationships,
teaching and learning, the external environment, and organizational patterns impact how students and others feel about being
in a school. Students benefit from
safe, caring, and peaceful school
environments. In positive school
environments bullying is reduced,
and respect and student achievement increase. NSCC stresses that
bullying has a negative effect on
everyone, including the bully.
Rasmussen said two schools
from each of the education cooperatives in Minnesota received
grants for this school climate study
from the NSCC. ZumbrotaMazeppa and Spring Grove are
representing the Southeast Service
Cooperative.
Mission statement amended
The ZM School District mission statement was revised to read,

Building a bridge to the future
where all individuals have the
opportunity to reach their full potential in a safe, challenging learning environment.
Personnel
Brian Grudem presented Bonnie

Kronenberger with a plaque inscribed, In appreciation for her
many years of service to the students and staff of the ZumbrotaMazeppa Schools. For many years
she was an Alternative Learning

Goodhue County Education Association (GCED). Then she was

the district ALP teacher for four
years.
The school board accepted the
retirement of Debbie Husbyn as a
fourth grade teacher, effective July
28, 2015.
A record number of new hires

Twelve-week childcare leaves
were approved for Micayla Ryan,
beginning November 21, and
Stephanie Foss, beginning November 27.
The board approved the reduction of Jill Forrey as extra middle/
high school office secretarial staff.
Anger said, This is not performance related. It is the result of
administrative restructuring.

some who hadnt seen him in 40

years, at his visitation to pay their
respects to him. I then realized
what a profound impact teachers
have on lives. Reynolds decided
on a career change and took the
steps needed to get his license. He
said, I have an old time school
bell that was on my dads desk
when he taught. My mom and sister gave it to me when I obtained
my teaching license. It reminds
me to stay true to myself as a person and teacher.
Prior to being hired by KW,
Reynolds had two long-term jobs:
one in Mounds View and another
at Minnesota Virtual Academy.
In looking for a job, Reynolds was
drawn to KW. I love the small
town atmosphere and the sincere
pride people have in both communities, he said. I will commute this year from my home in
South St. Paul, but I could definitely see myself living in this area.
I had great uncles and aunts who
lived in Kenyon when I was
younger and we would visit them
frequently. Micheal and Louise
Lee lived at the Sunset Home and
Raymond and Gladys Lee lived
on a farm north of town. I have
also been to the lutefisk supper at
Vang Lutheran Church as a boy.
Its where I acquired my love for
the fish and lefse.
Reynoldss answer to how KW
School will never be the same is
because I am going to make [the
students] a little more creative and
community-minded.
Reynolds and his wife Shanna

Notebook
By Pete Grimsrud
Kids are going back to school

next week and will rejoin friendships, daily structure, sports, homework, and school lunch. Being
exposed to students (big and small)
this summer from different districts, Ive learned that school lunch
has never been more hated than
today.
Ill not pretend that school lunch
was ever considered good or nearly
as good as moms cooking, snacks,
or fast food, but Michelle Obamas
national school lunch mandate to
combat obesity and help agriculture has school lunch at a new low
with students.
Apparently, extra peanut butter
sandwiches are off the menu if
students are still hungry after eating the served dish. Im told syrup,
which makes everything better for
some kids, is off the menu.
Ballplayers complain that they
dont receive enough to eat from
breakfast and school lunch to make
it through a difficult practice.
One study found food trash up
56%, with healthy foods plated
more but eaten less than before
the program was enacted. A second study reports that vegetables
are dumped 60-75% of the time.
A program of healthy foods and
exercise is admirable, but the mandate is running into the same problem every parent navigates when
fixing a healthy meal for their family.
However, parents can make their
children sit at the table until they

finish their plate of unwanted food
or they can serve healthy foods of
their kids liking. Parents might
expand kids preferences as they
age by pairing caramel dip with
apple slices or parmesan with green
beans.
Schools can teach children about
healthy food choices, but its difficult to enforce those choices other
than letting kids go hungry. Lessons of waste starving children in Africa are hard taught
at home and nearly impossible at
school.
What kids know is that school

Write Here
Right Now
By Bob Schmidt
Consider the following two passages regarding unborn children:

For you created my inmost
being; you knit me together in my
mothers womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your
works are wonderful, I know that
full well.
My frame was not hidden from
you when I was made in the secret
place, when I was woven together
in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed
body; all the days ordained for me
were written in your book before
one of them came to be.
That is from Psalm 139, New
English Version. The second is
from an undercover interview with
StemExpress Founder and CEO
Catherine Dyer:
Its so fragile. Its insanely frag-
questions, they provide answers.

Big box stores like Lowes,
Home Depot, and Walmart are for
bargain hunters who dont need
help, are willing to read tags, and
who get to the store the morning
of plant delivery. You keep sale
slips and are willing to return dead
plants as needed.
Catalogs are often a source of
exotic, unusual, or hard to find
specialty plants. They tend to offer newer varieties with descriptions including agricultural zones,
light requirements, and special
needs. Prices vary but shipping
charges are the norm. Unfortunately plant quality is hard to determine until you get it in the mail,
and returns are bothersome.
Plant sales sponsored by garden clubs, arboretums, botanical
gardens, etc. are excellent sources
of unusual homegrown treasures.
Transporting them home is sometimes a problem unless you have a
car, know which states require

health certification, and are certain the plants arent protected.
California and Hawaii are very
strict about transporting live plants
across state lines.
Farmers Markets are fun but
sometimes risky places to find
things for ones garden. A diseased plant can be a costly headache when it spreads. Quarantine
works by keeping it in the pot rather
than in the garden proper. Its more
work, but its safer. Even plants
from a friends garden should be
watched for signs of disease.
The places you should NOT
obtain plant materials are state
parks, forests, prairies, and other
wilderness locations. Unless you
have the exact same conditions at
home, the plant you snatch will
probably not survive. Furthermore,
taking wild or protected plants is
illegal. The same applies to taking cuttings.

and effort. This grant was proposed to the board a year ago and
was approved to apply for the
grant.
I was referring to the board voting not to accept the grant from
the Department of Homeland Security for the purchase of a BearCat
armored vehicle to replace the
countys current 1980 Peacekeeper.
The Goodhue County Board
decided to reconsider the resolution and accept the grant. The ending of my first column was about
parliamentary procedures. In the
by-laws of an organization, this
statement might appear, Meetings will be run according to
Roberts Rules of Order. Some
might ask, Whats that? Others
may reply, I think I know what
that means! Finally, a group says,
I know what that means and it is
good.
Roberts Rules of Order define
the kinds of motions and their priority of presentation. It also defines the correct wording of motions and resolutions. The rules
standardize the running of meet-
ings, make the meetings more efficient, and keep the meetings
moving forward. Motions and resolutions are different beasts of
the rules. A motion requires an
action to be agreed upon by the
committee/board. A resolution is
a formal recognition of an event.
Motions are discussed and voted
on usually by a voice vote All
in favor say aye, all opposed say
nay. Voting may be restricted to
a roll call where the secretary calls
the roll of the group and records
each vote. Motions can either pass
or fail.
Resolutions are different. A resolution is recognition of an event
such as winning a grant, receiving a gift, etc. Unless the gift has
an unexpected requirement that
goes against the group, gifts are
accepted by resolution. Unless
something is really wrong, resolutions rarely fail. Maybe what
the Goodhue County Board needs
is a few hours of training on parliamentary procedures which any
Toastmaster can provide. Until next
week.

community because I believe they

too hold the same goal of obtaining 100% reading mastery with
all children they educate, not to
undermine the work they are already doing to reach this goal.
The second part I presented was
some new knowledge I believe
will help all educators and parents teaching reading. This summer I was trained as a Master
Teacher Trainer in the Logic of
English (www.logicofenglish.
com) written by Denise Eide of
Rochester. Eide began the research
and curriculum writing process five
years ago when her twin boys were
not succeeding in their reading curriculum at home. As a trained
English as a second language educator, she couldnt figure out why
her methods were failing her own
children. Her story as an educator echoes that of many other educators stories I heard this summer. Teachers who just completed
their masters degrees, literacy
specialists, and special education
teachers all sat in the same room
with me and said, Why wasnt I
ever given this information?
The real truth behind the
struggles our children are facing
is that we cant teach what we

dont know and we cant learn
what weve never been taught. Eide
is working to change this by making the Orton-Gillingham method
of teaching reading accessible to
everyone; methods that are typically reserved for specialized reading centers. I think we are all interested in changing our literacy
rates, and we are only going to do
it by working together, stepping
outside our comfort zones, and
trying something new.

Tina Basinski, at her new studio, is with a photo of a newborn she took
as one of her projects for Tina Mae Photography.
Tina Mae Photography

opens new studio
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA Tina Johnson
Basinski of Zumbrota has opened
a new Tina Mae Photography studio in the basement of BeeLighted
at 266 Main Street. Her studio was
previously located in a back room
at Luya. The business just kind
of outgrew the room I had available to me, Basinski said.
Tina Mae Photography got
started about four and half years
ago when Basinskis husband
bought her a DSLR camera for
her birthday. I am the type of
person where if I am going to do
something, I am going to be the
best I can, she said. She has been
studying the craft on her own as a
stay-at-home mom and perfecting her craft along the way.
She started out doing photo
shoots outdoors and then inside
her home during the colder months
or for newborns. She said that it

just wasnt working anymore with
her own kids running around and
having such a limited space. That
is when she sought out her first
studio a few short months ago in
Luya.
Basinski said she didnt expect
the business to grow like this. She
looked around the studio commenting on how it still isnt a dream
studio, but it really is a dream come
true for her. This was just a thing
to do and still allow me to be a
stay-at-home home for my kids,
she said.
Tina Mae Photography specializes in newborn photography, but
she also does child and family
photography depending on her
schedule. She books all her photo
shoots through her website:

KW administrators settle into new positions

WANAMINGO As the school
year begins, three administrators
will be taking on new roles at
Kenyon-Wanamingo. Veteran
staff member Matt Ryan will be
assuming the principal duties at
the high school, rookie district
leader Jeff Pesta is taking his seat
in the superintendents office, and
newbie principal Katy Schuerman
is primed and ready for the challenges of leadership in the elementary.
This team of administrators have
been working closely to achieve
high standards set for themselves
and for the district. Ryan said, Im
as excited and energized about the
upcoming school year as I can ever
remember being, and much of that
is due to the admin team that I am
part of.
Katy Schuerman
Katy Schuerman was hired this

summer to serve as the K-6 principal for the district. This will be
her first year as a principal, and
she brings with her a great deal of
enthusiasm for the new position,
in addition to her 23 years of experience with Spanish immersion
in schools. She will split her time
between the Wanamingo and
Kenyon sites.
Superintendent Pesta said, Katy
rose to the top of a strong list of
candidates for elementary school
principal within the staff screening committee, before the finalists were brought to me. I was
familiar with her outstanding
record of accomplishment as a
teacher leader in Northfield...From
the moment she accepted our offer, she has reinforced our decision, and the students and families in KW will see why for themselves this fall.
In finishing the sentence KW
Schools will never be the same

Kenyon-Wanamingo School administrators, from left to right, Matt Ryan, Jeff Pesta, and Katy Schuerman are
excited to embark on new roles in the district. Ryan will serve as principal for grades 7-12, Pesta as
superintendent, and Schuerman as principal for kindergarten through sixth grade.
on learning.
Ryan said, It has been great
working with and getting to know
Katy this summer. When we started
the hiring process for a new principal last spring, the goal was to
add a great person to our administrative team. Im confident weve
done that with the addition of Katy.
Born in Shakopee, Schuerman
is a graduate of Worthington High
School, St. Cloud State University, and the University of St. Thomas. She said, I am very much
enjoying getting to know Matt and
Jeff I feel lucky to be part of
such a great team!
Fun fact about Schuerman: her
favorite song is by 4 Non Blondes.
Matt Ryan
After ten years serving as an

elementary school teacher and the
last five years as K-6 principal,
Matt Ryan is moving into the role
of grades 7-12 principal.
Pesta said, Throughout my time
in KW, Matt has been a rock-steady
source of support and organizational knowledge. As we worked
through the challenges of identifying the next principal for the
KW secondary schools, it became
increasingly obvious that the best
candidate was already in the district. The question of Who will
guide the Kenyon campus into the

next era? has gone from my biggest concern to my least.
In answer to the question about
how KW School will never be the
same, Ryan said, I am going to
work hard on providing consistent and positive leadership for
students, staff, and families that
will help KW continue toward
excellence a place where families are proud to send their students to school each day, and a
place where staff enjoy working,
and a place where students take
pride in the high school they are
invested in.
Schuerman said, Matt has been
patient and helpful in teaching me
the ropes at KW. He models great
communication skills and has created a wonderful, collaborative
environment at the elementary
school.
Born in Rochester and a graduate of Zumbrota-Mazeppa High
School, Ryan earned his bachelors
degree at St. Johns University,
his masters degree at Winona State
University, and his principal licensure at St. Marys University.
He and his wife Molly (employed
by AgStar) have three children at
KW: Tyler is in ninth grade, Briana
in seventh, and Rachel in fourth.
KW to be reimbursed for administrator loss

KENYON At the August 24
Kenyon-Wanamingo School
Board meeting, Superintendent Jeff
Pesta said the insurance agent for
the district, Todd Greseth, noticed
there was coverage in the policy
for the loss of an administrator.
Significant expenses were incurred
after the unexpected death of Superintendent Jeff Evert.
Pesta said the insurance company will reimburse the district
about $27,000 for costs incurred
to advertise for the positon, the
salary for the interim position, and
for stipends paid to staff members
who helped to cover duties in the
absence of a superintendent.
Administrative reports
Katy Schuerman, the new K-6

principal, attended her first board
meeting and said it was a privilege to be part of the welcoming
community. Regarding the several new staff members who have
been hired recently she said, We
think we have really great matches
and we are excited for them. Bus
and playground safety is being
planned for the beginning of the
school year. Schuerman will continue the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support program
and new math curriculum that was
started last year.
Pesta noted that all instructional
positions are filled. There was
no higher priority in entering the
school year than to have all those
teaching positions covered, he

them ready for next week. The
district will have a technology
support center in the media center, and students will be involved

Kenyon-Wanamingo Education
Foundation annual report released
KENYON At the August 24
meeting the Kenyon-Wanamingo
School Board was presented with
the KW Education Foundation
annual report. During the 201415 school year, the foundation
funded $7,500.08 in school program enhancements, including: the
purchase of book challenges for
preschool-grade 4 ($782.20), music
IMAC for K-4 ($1,300), a tuba
for the middle/high school band
($1,200), a 3-D printer for the

of 94.7% when a sub is needed.

Pesta said during the six months
he observed the district, in many
instances the vacancy was filled
by current teachers covering a class
during their open hours. In this
case, pay is covered in the unions
master agreement. For non-staff
substitutes brought in through
Teachers on Call, Pesta suggested
the district increase the pay by $5

KENYON In preparation for
a new school year, KenyonWanamingo Superintendent Jeff
Pesta gave an update to the school
board at its August 24 meeting.
Pesta said letters have been sent
to the students parents/guardians
about the bring-your-own-device
technology plan expectations. This
affects students in grades 7-12.
The school is providing a $100
discount toward the purchase of
an approved device through Best
Buy. Parents have the option to
purchase insurance on the device.
Board member Debb Paquin recommended that parents check with
their homeowners policy, as there
may be coverage included for personal devices.
Sarah Benrud, student representative to the school board, asked
whether all the devices that will
brought into the school will diminish the internet speed. Benrud
said that at times last year the
internet speed was extremely slow

and she wondered how additional
traffic would affect it. Building
and grounds supervisor Paul
Clauson said the upload and download speed is significant; however,
if students log in as a guest rather
than a student, the speed is slower.
Benrud also asked if anything
would be done about students using their phones or apps that are to
be blocked (if students know how
to get around this). Pesta said part
of the education for students will
be learning to use devices appropriately and to follow expectations,
as throughout life there are expectations that need to be followed.

concerns that the property valuation on the insurance policy may
not be sufficient enough to cover
replacement costs in the event of
a loss. The board was supportive
of an insurance re-evaluation being conducted. Pesta updated the
board to say that after speaking
to civil matters on the 11300 block

of Hwy 60 in Wanamingo Township.

district has the norm. In the event
of a major loss, steps can be taken
to address the replacement difference not covered by insurance.

borrowing interest rate) and a call
date of 2/1/2018; the second for
$3.63 million (4-4.375% rate) and

what they did.
Ellingson attended Winona State
University to receive her bachelors
in elementary education. Last year
she taught fifth grade in Pillager.
One fun fact about me is that my
grandfather first started his career
in Pillager and then moved to
Wanamingo, so I am honored to
follow in his footsteps, Ellingson
said. She was offered a job at KW
and got engaged in the same week.
Her fianc is a state trooper in the
area. We are both excited to be a
part of two wonderful communities, she said.
Ellingson said KW School will
never be the same because I am
going to collaborate with staff to
use best practices and technology

enjoys swimming, reading, attending sporting events, and spending
time with family and friends. Her

Sandy Sahl
Third grade
Sandy Sahl is no stranger to the

elementary school, and in fact her
own third grade picture could probably be uncovered by a curious
student in the stacks of old school
yearbooks! (Hint: she graduated
from KW in 2011.) Sahl was born
in Faribault and is one of four
daughters. Her mom, Patty, is a
substitute teacher in the Northfield

As a child Sahl said at the end
of every school year her mom
would ask her what she wanted to
be when she grew up and recorded
the answer in her school memory
book. Of course I wanted to be a
lot of things, but teacher was always on the list, Sahl said. Ive
always liked helping people. I think
its very rewarding when you get
to see that light bulb go off in
someones head. As a teacher, you
have the power to make a positive
difference in a childs life.
Sahl earned her teaching degree
at Saint Marys University in
Winona. She completed her student teaching assignments at
Winonas Washington-Kosciusko
Elementary School and Winona
Middle School. She was happy to
learn that KW had teaching positions available. I chose KW because that is where I am from, I
like the community, and I will be
working with a lot of great people,
she said.
Sahl said KW will never be the
same because I am going to find
engaging ways to excite your children about school.

County
Smithsonian traveling exhibit

is coming to Red Wing in 2016
RED WING Story, history,
faith, ethics, the arts, and science
water connects them all through
community. Water has shaped the
history of Red Wing, Goodhue
County, the country, and the world.
This critical resource is essential
for life and needs to be understood, appreciated, and protected.
The Goodhue County Historical
Society, in cooperation with the
Minnesota Humanities Center, will
celebrate the profound role water
plays in our lives as we host Water/Ways, a traveling exhibition
from the Smithsonians Museum
on Main Street program. Water/
Ways will be on view from Octo-
ber 1 through November 13, 2016.

The Water/Ways exhibit reveals
the central nature of water in our
lives by exploring how Americans
use water, how water unites communities, how water affects every
element of life, and how Americans care for and protect this valuable resource for the future.
The Goodhue County Historical Society and the surrounding
community has been chosen by
the Minnesota Humanities Council to host Water/Ways due to its
historic and ongoing relationship
with water: from Red Wings location along the Mississippi, to
the multiple watersheds in
Goodhue County, to the

Mdewakanton Dakotas spiritual
and historic relationship with water, this community has a unique
and remarkable connection to
water.
The Historical Society will be
creating a companion exhibit in
conjunction with Water/Ways, and
several public programs and events
will be designed by the Historical
Society and local partners to encourage community discussion on
Water/Ways and the role water
plays in our lives.
The Anderson Center and the
Red Wing Environmental Center
are local partners for this exhibit.

4-H
Cherry Grove Busy Gophers
By Kate Rechtzigel
The Goodhue County Fair was
held August 10-16 at the fairgrounds in Zumbrota, but prepping for it came long before that
for all of the 4-H families. I had
been planning on taking my Jersey heifer and seven year old cow
for the past year, but sadly when
June came around my cow got a
bad case of mastitis. That is an
inflammation in the the udder that
causes the cows milk to become
clumpy, so it cannot be sold. My
dad had told me for weeks after
she got it, that she would get over
it in time for the fair. I was still
worried because earlier in the year
we had to kill all of the milk in one
of her back teats, because it was
so badly infected. So, for the longest
time I just forgot about her and
trained my heifer, who actually
walked really well. But, the Friday before we had to bring the
animals in, my dad checked her
with the California Mastitis Test
(CMT) and she was still not good.
Then it hit me that I would not be
taking her, so sadly I moved on
and worried about getting my heifer
and my steer ready.
A week before the fair started,
Markus and I brought our steers
home. We trained them everyday,
pulling them behind the tractor
with a cultivator that our neighbors turned into a steer hook-up a

few years ago. We ended up naming our steers, Stump, the pure
Holstein, and Prince, the crossbred who was at the fair. Stump
was Markuss. The fun part was
that he hated to walk and the first
day of the fair, he wouldnt even
get on the trailer. After we got
them to walk good, we took them
over to the shoot and gave them
each a nice haircut, where all we
did, was cut the hair off their heads.
I also had to give my heifer a haircut. Kira Quam came over for
that with her tiny heifer, and we
basically just shaved all of their
hair off except for the belly and
the top line, which I ended up giving up on and shaved it off the day
of show anyway.
Once we got to the fair, though,
things were much different. I got
a blue on my wildflowers which I
planted in a pot that I recreated
from the 1800s a blue on my calf
warming box, which was by far
the biggest shop project there; and
a red on my project on mastitis.
Markus got a red on his gate. On
Wednesday, we showed the steers
and I got a red and second place of
two in the lightweight crossbred
class. He weighed 1050 and Kayla
Knott ended up winning that class.
Markus got a blue and fifth place
on his purebred Holstein that

weighed 1240.
On Friday, I showed my heifer
and got a red and a third of three in
my class. The judge said that she
didnt have good balance. But, I
got called back for showmanship
and the judge said that I needed to
clip her finer and fluff up her tail
more.
On Saturday, we had the auction and I got $550 for my steer
which was bought by AgStar,
Markus got $950 for his which
was bought by Isaacson Implement.
In other club news, Kira Quam
showed Pleasure in the horse show
on August 9 and was awarded a
trip to the State 4-H Horse Show
on September 17-21. She also got
in the State Fair lineup for both
dairy and pigs. Emily Pliscott won
both of her classes with her goats
and got champion lightweight
market wether at the State Fair.
Her brother, Michael Pliscott got
third in his class at the county fair.
The next meeting should be the
first weekend in September at Dale
Church at 7 p.m., unless something changes. If you want to join,
either come to the meeting or email
me at katerechtzigel@gmail.com
and I will let you know when the
meeting is.

GOODHUE The Goodhue
City Council met on Wednesday,
August 26, and discussed two construction projects that are being
completed.
City engineer Andy Brandel
reported on finishing the swimming pool. He suggested that the
city pay Maertens-Brenny for their
work minus $41,150 to be held
until the punch list items are completed.
The city could not come to an
agreement on the final payment
to Fitzgerald Trucking and Excavating Inc. for their work on the
Third Street project. There are
special charges of about $18,000
for work that was not performed
under the contract that the City of
Goodhue completed. And there are
liquidated charges of $26,400 for
failing to complete the job as scheduled.
Much discussion was held on
the merits of the liquidated charges,
and a consensus could not be
reached. A committee of John
Adams, Leia Ryan, and Andy
Brandel was appointed to meet
with Fitzgerald to try and avoid
legal action. The council voted to
table a decision until a later council meeting.
from a boulevard for a home being built by Mitch and Jess

Lindholm. A six foot high
chainlink fence for Jeff Babbitt
was also approved, as long as it is
within accordance with setbacks.
The council voted to move the
September 9 meeting to 5:30 p.m.,
to eliminate a conflict with the
Goodhue School.
Seal coating was started on the
day of this meeting and will be
completed by September 1.
A discussion was held on the
merits of having trees growing
in the sidewalk in downtown
Goodhue. And public works director Steve Voth was asked to
clean the leaves from the street.
DNR QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Q: I heard about a 57-inch muskie
recently caught on Lake Vermilion. What makes the lake produce
trophy fish like that?
A: Lake Vermilion, along with
a number of other Minnesota lakes,
was first stocked with Leech Lakestrain muskies in the late 1980s.
Weve seen some very large fish
caught in recent years as a result.
Lake Vermilion has abundant
tullibee (also known as cisco),
which provide a high-energy food
source for big muskies, northern
pike and walleye.
In addition to good forage and
good genetics, Minnesota muskies

have benefited from a strong catchand-release ethic among anglers.
Plus, progressively larger minimum size regulations (now 54
inches) have resulted in more trophy muskies statewide. On Lake
Vermilion, most big muskies are
caught by anglers who specifically
target them. They have the right
equipment to safely land and release these fish, leaving t he
muskies to grow larger and be
caught again.

A Hindu mother walked down a dusty road with
two sons, a healthy one and a sickly one. About
an hour later she returned from the Ganges River
with only one son.
"Where's your other child?" asked the missionary.
"I sacrificed him in the Ganges," she answered.
"If you had to sacrifice a son, why didn't you
sacrifice your sickly child? he asked.
She answered, "We give our gods our best."
Why don't you give God the best of your time,
the best of your talents, and the best of your
treasure?
God gave His best for you when He gave His
Son.
Shouldn't you give Him your best?

Margaret Pleiss-Sippola is the new senior

pastor United Redeemer Lutheran Church
By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA Margaret PleissSippola was recently called to serve
as the senior pastor at United Redeemer Lutheran Church (URLC).
She began July 29, conducting her
first Sunday service with the congregation on August 2. The two
regular Sunday services were combined for the summer outdoor service with a meet and greet time
and light brunch following.
During her nearly 25 years in
the ministry, Pastor Marggi or
just Marggi (pronounced MAR
as in car and GEE as in key),
as she prefers to be called, has
served several Minnesota congregations, most recently at Gustavus
Adolphus Lutheran in Minneapolis where she was solo pastor. In
addition to other metropolitan
congregations, Pastor Marggi has
served outstate locations including churches in Duluth and in southeastern Minnesota in Adams.
Marggi and her husband, David
Sippola, have two adult children.
Ben currently lives in New Zealand
where he is a coach with the Ole
Soccer Academy and a fly-fishing enthusiast. Their daughter
McKinzie recently completed
massage therapy studies in Costa
Rica and is living and working in
Minneapolis. David is a physical
therapist working in St. Paul. The
couple currently lives in Northfield.
Since changing her commute to
Zumbrota rather than Minneapolis, Pastor Marggi said she finds
her new rural commute to be much
more beautiful than the previous
route on Highway 35W.
Although she was happy at
Gustavus Adolphus in Minneapolis, in speaking of her decision to
come to Zumbrota, Marggi paraphrased from a book she recently
read, titled The Road to Character by David Brooks, saying
whenever a door opens, I always
walk through it. Her first sermon
at URLC, with a theme of adventure, spoke of her passion for life,

Pastor Margaret (Marggi) Pleiss-Sippola is the new senior pastor at

United Redeemer Lutheran Church. Her first day with the congregation
was July 29 and her first worship was August 2.
serving others, and adventure.

After completing her bachelor
of arts degree from Luther College, majoring in elementary education and theatre, Marggi taught
for two years, including in Papua,
New Guinea. It was while she was
working as a youth director in
Duluth that she decided to go into
the ministry. I hadnt seen a
woman pastor in my life; it never
dawned on me that a female could
be a pastor, she said. She subsequently completed her Master of
Divinity at Wartburg Theological
Seminary and also obtained her
Doctor of Ministry through the
University of Dubuque Theological Seminary/Wartburg Seminary.
Pastor Marggi has maintained
an active pace during her short
time with URLC. Bible school was
in session the week she arrived.
She said kids are one of the favorite parts of her ministry and they
did not disappoint. They just draw
you in. Her large hand puppets
have not only been enjoyed but

have also provided a learning time
for the kids during her childrens
sermons, and for the adults in the
congregation. After meeting Pastor Marggi and attending a service conducted by her, Emily
Haugen, high school freshman,
said, It is good to hear more laughter in our church again.
Dennis Larson, a church council member and congregational
president since January, said, The
call committee did an outstanding job, referring to presenting
Pastor Marggi as a candidate for
the senior pastor position. Pastor
Marggi hit the road running. She
has been great about getting out
and meeting not only with congregational members but also in
the community. She told us she
came here to work with us, not
for us.

committee meetings, and makes
visits to the downtown area. Dave
Dahlen, call committee chairperson, also agreed with Larsons
assessment of Pastor Marggis
ability. The call committee was
comprised of a diverse membership. We interviewed several candidates, and our choice of Pastor
Marggi was unanimous. She brings
an unbridled enthusiasm to her
services and makes her sermons
memorable. She is able to easily
connect with large groups by making you feel like she is having a
conversation with you over a simple
cup of coffee.
When asked for an example of
something people should know
about her, Pastor Marggi replied,
I absolutely love life and I treasure that gift of life in everyone.
One should never take the gift of
life for granted. She wants to share
that gift with others. When asked
about her goals for the church she
replied, To be an incredibly,
welcoming place and life-giving.
Our Christian faith is about living
and is joyous. We can truly enjoy
our time together learning.
Pastor Marggi has made several journeys to Guatemala to work
on projects and to enjoy the
people. She is already conducting meetings, and making plans
for another trip in February, 2016.

ZM falls in four games to St. Charles

By Faye Haugen
ZUMBROTA - The ZumbrotaMazeppa volleyball team got off
to a slow start in their season opener
with St. Charles on Thursday
evening in Zumbrota, but they
played better as the night went on.
The Cougars fell behind 9-1 in
the opening game, but they rallied to get as close 16-13 before
falling 25-16. They lost the second game by the same score, but
they rallied for a 28-26 win in the
third game. ZM led 24-19 in the
third game before the Saints tied
the score at 26. After winning the
third game, ZM again had trouble

in the fourth game, falling 25-16.
Aspen Brubaker and Breana
Haag led ZM with nine kills each.
Lyndsey Quam, Lauren Miller and
Miranda Mollenhauer each had
four kills. Bella Wagner dug out a
team-high 21 digs with Haag mak-
ing 15 digs and Quam 11. Miller

made four blocks.

Panther cheerleading is back

By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND The Pine Island Panther cheerleaders are back
after being gone for close to eight
years. Coaching the new cheer team
is Tracy Bauer, who is also an
elementary teacher at Pine Island
School. The team held its first practice on August 4 at Rachel Ds
studio in Pine Island.
The cheering squad consists of
fourteen students in grades 10-12:
Madison House, Miranda
Hawkinson, Emily Nielsen, Adrianna Swarthout, Kylie Locke,
Sydney Lenz, Kayla Anderson,
Morgan Brehmer, Brianna Fohrman, Tori Toft, Carolyn Kittleson, Beam Jarwatsii, Dani Hale,
and Garrett Leland (Panther mascot).
With only a few practices under their belts the cheerleaders were
nervous and excited to show their
school spirit at the first football
game of the season on Saturday,
August 22, when Pine Island faced
Lake City.
The comeback of the cheer team
was initiated after a significant
amount of suggestions were entered into the school suggestion
boxes. The school then ran a survey to see if students were interested, and the response was well
received. From there Bauer took
on the responsibilities of coaching the team and spent her summer going to cheerleading training in St. Cloud.
Dressed in retro style with two
different uniform designs that they
found from a few years back, the
cheerleaders are performing some
traditional Panther cheers along
with a mix of ones suggested by
Sydney Lenz, who was a cheerleader at her previous school, and
others that the girls have been creating and making up on their
own. Deb Berg, a longtime coach
in Zumbrota, has helped a few times
during practice sessions. Darcy
Goplen (nee Moyer), a former
cheerleader and 1988 graduate of
Pine Island, has also helped with
teaching the new team some of
the traditional cheers that they used
to do. The cheer team and Coach
Bauer have very much appreciated the support they have received
from the community.
Bauer said that since the school
is still under construction finding
a place to hold their practices was
a major concern, so she was grateful
to Rachel Douglas for letting them
use her dance studio for now. She
also was glad that Berg and Goplen
were able to help out, as this is a
learning experience not only for
the cheering squad but for her as
well.
For now, the cheer team is considered to be more of a club than a

sport, but Bauer is working on
making it possible for the cheerleaders to be able to letter as they
would in other sports. But letters
or not the cheering team is just

excited to be able to show their
school spirit and cheer on the Panthers just like they used to do years
ago.
PIZM boys need overtime

to get past Lake City
By Faye Haugen
LAKE CITY After falling
behind 1-0 in the first half, the
Pine Island/Zumbrota-Mazeppa
boys soccer team rallied for a 2-1
overtime win at Lake City, Thursday.
Brandon DePestel scored the
Wildcats first goal off an assist
by Cole VanHouten. Brady Schoenfelder netted the game-winner
on a penalty kick in overtime.
We had a bit of a slow start,
but the team really revved up the
intensity as the game progressed,
said Coach Rafal Konik. The team
played hard, worked together and
had strong perserverence to the
end. It made me tired watching
them.
Schoenfelder stopped 10 of 11
shots in goal over the first two
periods. He moved to offense in
overtime, scoring the winning goal

on a penalty kick with just 24 seconds left in the season opener.
Defensive play by Derek
Rucker, Jacob Ihde and Brady
Schoenfelder in goal kept the score
even, pointed out Coach Konik.

ladies golf league wraps up
By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND The Pine Island Nine Hole Ladies League finished golf on Thursday morning,
August 27, at the Pine Island Golf
Course. The day began with golf
followed by lunch at Pool and Pins.
The Ladies Golf League started
in 2004. Women golfers of all levels
PIZM girls
top Waseca
2-1
were encouraged to participate.

This year, 27 women golfed on
Thursday mornings and there was
always a game of the week. Putts
and total scores were kept track of
each week, and the game of the
week varied from keeping scores
on the even holes only, to scores
on the par 4 holes, or having the
pro pick out of three holes to discard. The group also held one fun
event each month with a shotgun
start and players assigned to teams.
Jean Meyer is the organizer for
the league. After scores are turned

in, Meyer flights the golfers and
lists the winners. Payback comes
with chits from within the club
house. The players strive for 18 or
less putts each and every week.
All the ladies have a chance to
golf and meet new women since
they dont sign up as teams. The
ladies enjoy the league and have
fun getting to know the other members who are from not only Pine
Island but also Zumbrota,
Mazeppa, and Rochester.

Triton is too much for ZM to handle

By Faye Haugen
DODGE CENTER - The Zumbrota-Mazeppa football team knew
they were going to have to play
well in order to upset Triton on
Friday in Dodge Center. The Cougars kept it close for a half, but the
Cobras dominated the last two
quarters for a convincing 34-6 victory.
After a scoreless first quarter,
Triton scored twice on a 32-yard
run by Jax Bryngelson and a fiveyard scamper by Max Henderson.
But with a little over a minute to
play in the first half, Isaiah Stueber found Bailey Berg with a 15yard scoring pass allowing ZM to
close the gap to 14-6 at the break.
Triton put the game away with
a pair of running TDs in the third
quarter on a one-yard by Henderson and a 15-yard run by Leif Bungum. The Cobras made it 34-6
early in the fourth quarter when
Bryngelson scored for the second
time from 39 yards out.
Triton dominated the line of
scrimmage on both side of the ball
at they rushed for 346 yards while
holding ZM to -14 yards of rushing offense. Stueber was able to
hit 5 of 9 passes for 94 yards for

the Cougars. Zach Sanborn made
two receptions for 64 yards and
Berg made three receptions for 24
yards. Maverick Jackson was ZMs
leading rusher with 12 yards on
eight carries.
In a rare Thursday evening contest, Zumbrota-Mazeppa will host
Dover-Eyota in their home opener
beginning at 7 p.m.
The Eagles are 0-2, as are the
Cougars. DE opened the season
with a 28-20 loss to Byron, and
they fell 30-19 to Chatfield on
Friday.
