GOODHUE Fourteen young
ladies from the Goodhue area vied
for the title of Miss Goodhue at
Goodhue High School on Friday,
June 13. After the proper amount
of fanfare the winners were an-
nounced. First, Cassandra Rich-
ter was crowned Miss Congenial-
ity on a vote of the contestants.
Then Sydney McNamara and
Ashley Cordes were crowned as
princesses. And finally, Madison
Schafer was crowned Miss
Goodhue for 2014 by her sister
Kendrah Schafer.
This marked the twenty-fifth
year of the Miss Goodhue con-
test. The first Miss Goodhue in
1980 was Monica Haggerty.
The emcees for the night were
Jill Majerus Ryan and Sadie
OConnor. Both were former Miss
Goodhues. The prelude was played
by Cheyenne Meyer, a Goodhue
Princess from 2003.
The other candidates this year
were Alex Donahue, Hayley
Hillshiem, Alexis Kennedy, Katie
Lexvold, Samantha Lexvold,
Mayra Monjaras-Olmos, Sarah
Therese and Vaughn Bien are the Volksfest Queen and King for 2014.
This years Volksfest royalty consists of Miss Goodhue Madison Schafer, Miss Congeniality Cassandra
Richter, Princess Sydney McNamara, and Princess Ashley Cordes.
Madison Schafer is crowned Miss Goodhue for 2014
Community Band Festival is June 22
ZUMBROTA The Zumbrota
Community Band will host its bi-
annual Community Band Festi-
val in conjunction with the Cov-
ered Bridge Festival on Sunday,
June 22, at the East Park band
shell (between 6th and 7th streets
on East Avenue), beginning at
noon. The concerts are free to the
public. The festival is partially
funded by a grant from the Zum-
brota Community Trust.
Four metro bands will be re-
turning for repeat performances
this year. Shoreview Northern
Lights Variety Band entertained
audiences here in 2006, 2008, and
2010. True to their name, the group
plays a varied repertoire. Their
philosophy is that playing in an
instrumental music ensemble
should be a rewarding lifelong
experience. Their roster includes
80 members ranging in age from
the teens to the eighties.
The Fridley City Band played
in the 2010 and 2012 festivals.
Their repertoire includes show
tunes, pop tunes, concert works,
and of course, wonderful marches.
The Fridley Old Time Band (for-
merly known as the Fridley Ger-
man Band) is a small group en-
semble made up of members from
the larger group. Their selection
of music is mostly polkas and
waltzes, and because of that, they
feature a non-traditional band in-
strument the accordion.
Brio Brass dazzled the audience
and was a big hit in 2012 with
their swing and jazz
renditions. Their lead trumpet plays
in the style of Doc Severinsen,
hitting high notes at the very top
end of the instrument range. If
you love jazz, you wont want to
miss this performance!
Two small ensembles will play
between the larger groups. The
Rochester Flute Choir will give
the audience a chance to see and
hear seldom seen and rare instru-
ments: the concert flute, piccolo
(half the size of the concert flute
and plays one octave higher), the
bass flute (twice the size of the
concert flute and plays one octave
lower and is curved so players can
reach the keys) and the alto flute
(halfway between the concert flute
and bass flute in size and may also
be curved). ZBrass, a quintet made
up of members of the Zumbrota
Community Band, describes their
style of music as eclectic, includ-
ing sacred, classical, pop, folk, rock
and polka.
Each large group will take the
stage for 45 minutes followed by
15-minute interludes by the smaller
ensembles. A mass band concert
of four marches at the end will
allow each director to take a turn
at the podium directing. The con-
cert programs is as follows:
Noon Zumbrota Community
Band
1 p.m. Fridley Old Time Band
2 p.m. Shoreview Northern
Lights Variety Band
3 p.m. Fridley City Band
4 p.m. Brio Brass
5 p.m. Mass Band Concert
Pulled pork meals and sand-
wiches will be available for pur-
chase at St. Pauls Catholic Church
across the street from the site, which
is also where the concerts will be
relocated in case of inclement
weather. The Zumbrota Area Arts
Council will also be selling pop-
corn and ice cream. Bring your
lawn chairs and plan to stay all
day!

The girls began the Miss Goodhue
competition by writing their own
profiles, which they shared with
the judges at a breakfast at Goodhue
High School Saturday, June 7. At
this time the girls answered ques-
tions and the judges got to know
them. On Friday, they were asked
one last question to be answered
orally in front of the judges and
all the spectators before the judges
made their final decision. Madi-
son Schafer was asked, What
makes Goodhue a great commu-
nity? She answered, It is a strong
faith-based community. Ashley
Cordes was asked, Who is your
role model? She answered, My
sister.
This years judges were Tracy
Dotas who works for Carver
County, Jenny Hedeen who works
for Abbott Northwest Hospital,
Stephanie Fossum of Stewartville
who works for the Mayo Clinic,
and Julia Senn-Reeves who is an

PINE ISLAND Twelve young
women from dairy farm back-
grounds were selected as finalists
for Minnesotas 61st Princess Kay
of the Milky Way on Sunday, May
18, in St. Cloud. One of the final-
ists chosen after a three-day work-
shop attended by more than 70
county dairy princesses was
Olmsted County Dairy Princess
Annie Culbertson of Pine Island.
Nineteen-year-old Culbertson is
the daughter of Scott and Tina
Culbertson. She graduated from
Pine Island High School in 2013
and is currently a student at the
University of Minnesota in the
Twin Cities where she is major-
ing in agriculture education with
an emphasis on leadership com-
munications.
The new Princess Kay of the
Milky Way will be crowned on
August 20 at the Minnesota State
Fair. All of the Princess Kay can-
didates will have a likeness of their
heads carved out of butter during
the twelve-day duration of the fair.
The young woman who serves as
Minnesotas dairy princess wears
the title of Princess Kay of the
Milky Way, a name selected in a
Department of Agriculture con-
test almost sixty years ago. Prin-
cess Kay is crowned each August
the night before the opening of
the Minnesota State Fair, and she
Culbertson is a finalist for
Princess Kay of the Milky Way
makes appearances not only dur-
ing the fair, but all year long.
The eleven other finalists who
join Culbertson are:
Meghan Connelly, 19, Roch-
ester, Olmsted County, daughter
of Kevin and Kathy Connelly
Jeni Haler, 18, Norwood Young
America, Carver County, daugh-
ter of Rick Haler and Connie
Haasken
Nicole Krumrie, 19, Litchfield,
Meeker County, daughter of Dan
and Beth Krumrie
Audrey Lane, 19, Prior Lake,
Scott and LeSueur Counties,
daughter of Burel and Norleen Lane
Christine Leonard, 20,
Norwood Young America, Carver
County, daughter of Tim and Amy
Leonard
Sabrina Ley, 19, Belgrade,
Stearns County, daughter of Kenny
and Cheryl Ley
Leah Middendorf, 21, Sauk
Centre, Stearns County, daughter
of Steve and Julie Middendorf
Sarah Post, 19, Chandler,
Murray County, daughter of Bill
and Merri Post
Chelsea Schossow, 19, Hous-
ton, Winona County, daughter of
Keith Schossow and Cindy Terrill
Gabriella Sorg, 17, Hastings,
Dakota County, daughter of Wil-
liam and Juanita Sorg
McCayla Thoe, 20, Hayfield,
Dodge County, daughter of Jeff
and Susie Thoe
On behalf of Minnesotas dairy
farmers, Princess Kay makes ap-
pearances to help explain their
commitment to taking care of the
animals and resources while pro-
viding wholesome, nutritious and
affordable dairy products. Mid-
west Dairy Association manages
the program.
Midwest Dairy Association is
a non-profit organization funded
by dairy farmers to build demand
for dairy products through inte-
grated marketing, nutrition edu-
cation and research. Midwest Dairy
is funded by checkoff dollars from
dairy farmers in a 10-state region,
including Minnesota, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas,
Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma.
The butter sculpting booth (in
the Dairy Building) is a Minne-
sota State Fair exhibit sponsored
by Midwest Dairy Association
through its nearly 4,000 dairy farm-
ers. On opening day of the State
Fair, the newly crowned Princess
Kay of the Milky Way has her
likeness carved. The sculpting
continues throughout the fair with
the other Princess Kay finalists.
A complete butter sculpture takes
about six hours to complete. Each
sculpture is carved from a 90-pound
block of Grade A butter, which is
produced exclusively for this ac-
tivity by Associated Milk Produc-
ers, Inc. (AMPI), in New Ulm.
Butter sculpting at the State Fair
was initiated to highlight
Minnesotas claim as the butter
capital of the nation.
Various butter sculptures were
featured at the Minnesota State
Fair from 1898 through 1927. In
1965, the American Dairy Asso-
ciation of Minnesota began its tra-
dition of having the likenesses of
dairy princesses sculpted in but-
ter, and constructed the original
booth. In 2008, a new butter-sculpt-
ing booth was unveiled, which is
more energy efficient and two feet
larger than the previous booth,
offering a better view. The tem-
perature inside the rotating butter
booth is 40F.
Midwest Dairy Association
helps to sponsor butter sculpting
at several other state fairs in its 10
states, but sculpting in front of
fair-goers using a live model is
unique to Minnesota.
Olmsted County Dairy Princess and Princess Kay of the Milky Way
finalist Annie Culbertson poses with Star, a registered Holstein calf
from their family farm, Macland Holsteins. Culbertson said that 98% of
dairy farms are family owned.

Old joke
Do you know the difference
between a developer and an envi-
ronmentalist? The developer wants
to develop 80 acres and is willing
to have other developers do the
same. The environmentalist has
already developed his 80 acres and
doesnt want any more developed
now. The claim of climate change
is We have to stop putting car-
bon products into the air. This is
followed closely by, We have to
stop NOW! These statements
can be translated to,Ive got my
civilization, stop what youre do-
ing! No more coal mines, no
more burning of coal and oil. Let
the Earth recover! Have you no-
ticed that consumption of power
is a necessary part of our civiliza-
tion and other countries?
As other nations move up the
development scale, their demand
and consumption of energy are
rising. No nation is going to will-
ingly stop trying to grow and then
regress to a third-world status. It
is past time to stop looking at the
causes and begin developing the
real fixes. Even if we stopped all
production of carbon, it would take
years to return the Earths envi-
ronment to pre-1900. It would
take at least 114 years, probably
200 to 400 years to naturally let
the environmental conditions re-
turn to that era. It means 90+% of
the worlds population dies in the
next five years! It means our
mobility as a world is over. Cities
of millions will return to just a
thousand or so. The world economy
collapses. In short, the reign of
humans on this planet is over, done,
finished!
Lets try a different approach.
Technology got us into this mess;
lets use technology to get us out.
Stop looking at the causes and
saying that we have to stop doing
those things; we cant stop. What
is the problem? We have released
carbon that was removed from the
atmosphere millions of years ago.
The small increase of carbon (less
than 1% of the atmosphere) can
be set back without ending world
civilization. The three biggest gases
that cause our atmosphere to heat
up are carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, and methane. Our so-
lution must break apart the car-
bon from the oxygen and hydro-
gen. We can bury the carbon or
use it to make carbon products.
We need the oxygen and hydro-
gen.
We can make a variety of car-
bon products today. Buckyballs,
nanotubes, industrial diamonds,
monofilament carbon wire are just
a few of the things we can make
with todays technology. We need
more efficient wind generators that
are cheaper and easier to main-
tain. Nuclear energy has not lived
up to its expectation of being a
clean, cheap, safe energy source.
Coal, oil, and gas (methane-see
above) are dirty in that all three
produce carbon products. The
other part of the problem with the
big three is that they also con-
tain other elements, and many are
deadly by-products in our envi-
ronment, the real dirt!
Let the rich folks (see last weeks
column) spend some of the tril-
lions of dollars developing these
solutions and we can restore our
planets environment quickly and
in our lifetime. We can do it if we
really want to. The few will save
our civilization and we can con-
tinue to grow. Thats no joke. Until
next week.
When
enough is
really enough
To the Editor:
Should the citizens of Wabasha
County tolerate Commissioner
Springers disrespectful and in-
appropriate behavior towards
Commissioner Roschen? Why
hasnt Springer publicly apolo-
gized to Mr. and Mrs. Roschen,
Mr. and Mrs. Furst and to the
Wabasha Citizens for his taste-
less behavior?
Should Springer resign his po-
sition on the board for his abuse
of office and inept leadership?
Would his behavior be tolerated
by his current employer in the pri-
vate sector? Will the board really
remain apathetic or will they wake-
up and vehemently encourage
Springers resignation?
Can the interim administrator
really be impartial and enforce the
county policies in this situation.
Must a member of the board sus-
tain serious harm before correc-
tive action is taken? Has Springers
sexist and harassing behavior to-
ward the Fursts and Roschens
placed Wabasha County taxpay-
ers in a position of financial li-
ability?
Should any degree of collateral
damage to taxpayers really be tol-
erated? Are we willing to stand up
and say, Enough really is enough,
and demand he stop wasting our
money and bringing shame to our
county?
Maybe its time individual board
members be financially respon-
sible, and not the taxpayers for
impudent and inappropriate be-
havior!
What do Wabasha County citi-
zens really stand for?

GOODHUE On Sunday, June
15, a large crowd gathered to hear
Reverend Randall Kuznicki give
a community church service at the
Goodhue school gym.
The weather improved over-
night, but not enough to stop the
cancellation of the Lions Motor-
cycle and Classic Car Ride at the
community center.
A waffle breakfast, catered by
Dads Belgian Waffles of St. Cloud,
was held at the community cen-
ter. The staff from Dads was sup-
ported by a few Goodhue citizens
and the newly crowned Miss
Goodhue Royalty. Miss Goodhue
Madison Schafer served milk and
water. Princess Ashley Cordes
added whipped cream topping for
the waffles and Princess Sydney
McNamara was in charge of keep-
ing place mats orderly. Volksfest
Queen Therese and King Vaughn
Bien were also on hand greeting
people.
By 2 p.m. Volksfest was over
for another year.

GOODHUE At eight oclock
Friday evening the sounds of coun-
try music rocked Goodhue as the
Trailer Choir took the stage for
the Friday night street dance, open-
ing for Lost Highway.
The Trailer Choir is a four-piece,
modern country band from Nash-
ville Tennessee. They arrived on
the scene in 2004 and since then
the band has gone through many
changes. The only constant is lead
singer Butter Fortney.
It was after ten oclock when
Jesse Steberg of Wanamingo, lead
singer for Lost Highway, entered
the stage and the whole set began
to rock. This is the bands fifth
straight year of appearing at the
Goodhue Volkfest. They opened
with their new hit single from their
new album This Feels Good.
The Goodhue High School class
of 2011 asked Steberg to dedi-
cate the song Good Ole Boys to
their deceased classmate Derek
McNamara, and he did.
Lost Highway has been play-
ing together since 2009. They have
opened for national acts such as
Hank Williams Jr., Clay Walker,
and Josh Thompson. They now
have two albums available, with
their first being More than a Song.
Besides Steberg, the band con-
sists ofMatthew Schwake on
rhythm guitar and vocals, Nick
Champeau on lead guitar, Trent
Baarspul on the banjo, mandolin,
and fiddle, Tim Paulson on the
bass guitar, and Aaron Seevers on
the drums. Most of the men are
from the Lacrosse area, which is
now the bands home.

GOODHUE Volksfest on Sat-
urday started with the Udder Run
behind the Goodhue School with
several dozen runners joining in
the race down Fourth Avenue. This
was followed by a five-mile walk.
At ten oclock the kids bounce
party moved to Gym 3. The kids
parade went from city hall to the
high school. The pool games at
11 a.m. were canceled due to the
cool temperature.
The slow pitch twelve-team
softball tournament had to stop
when the rains started at 2 p.m.
and games were postponed to Sun-
day.
The ten-team co-ed volleyball
tournament played through the rain.
The winner was Voth Insurance
of Goodhue for the second straight
year.
The bean bag tournament in
Rosie Park started shortly after 1
p.m. with 44 teams. The very wet
champions were the team from
Lake City. The Goodhue Jaycee
team of Charlie and Mark Dicke
finished second.
Bingo at the fire department was
well-attended and dry. Jason
Thuman called the numbers.
The craft sale in the Lions Com-
munity Center reported good sales
even though the crowds were
smaller this year. Several ven-
dors were blaming the weather.
The products available included
wood work, jewelry, perfumes,
homemade candles, vitamins, and
supplements.
The water war balloon launch
began at noon with very few par-
ticipants due to cool temperatures,
and it was closed when the rains
came at 2 p.m.
The Volksfest parade, the pedal
pull, and the watermelon feed were
washed out by the weather.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and
Tracy Lawrence play in Goodhue

By R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE A second street
dance was held in Goodhue on
Saturday evening, June 14, with
Joe Diffle, the Nitty Gritty Dirt
Band, and Tracy Lawrence per-
forming.
Joe Diffle was the opening act 7
p.m. The rains held off, and Joe
sang songs including Girl Ridin
Shotgun, which is his first new
release in nearly ten years.
Next up was more country/rock
with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
This band started playing together
in Long Beach, California, in 1966.
Jimmie Fadden and Jeff Hanna
have been together since the early
years. They started to play at 9:10
and after two songs took a break,
due to a lightning bolt. Fifteen
minutes later they resumed play-
ing. At 9:30 p.m. the fireworks
display was set off in Rosie Park
and the band played on. The light-
ning stayed away but the rain came
down. The band finished its per-
formance at ten oclock and quickly
loaded their bus to leave for Chi-
cago where they will play on Sun-
day.
The crowd grew as they waited
for the main attraction, Tracy
Lawrence. By the time he started
to sing the lightning was in the
sky. He did not let them down as
he sang one hit after another. The
rains got heavier, and his perfor-
mance lasted as long as the weather
permitted.

Obituaries
Carol Wees 1934-2014
PINE ISLAND Carol A. Wees,
79, of Pine Island, died June 11,
2014, at Pine Haven Care Center.
Carol Ann was born to Vernon
and Dorothy (Murray) Swenson
on June 17, 1934 in Rochester.
She married Gerald Jerry Wees
on May 11, 1964, and together
they raised seven children. She
worked for the Mayo Clinic for
25 years as a supervisor. She en-
joyed spending time with her grand-
children, music, needlepoint,
camping, and traveling. She was
a member of the American Le-
gion Auxiliary, and Pine Island
and Oronoco VFW Auxiliary.
Carol is survived by her four
children, Michael (Kari) Wees of
Rochester, Randy (Amy) Howard
Hayward of Pine Island, James
Andrist of Atlanta, Georgia, and
Chris (Julie) Andrist of Byron; step-
children, Gary (Becky) Wees and
Bonnie (Michael) Oelkers; thir-
teen grandchildren; twelve great
grandchildren; and her brothers,
John (Joan) Swenson of St. Cloud,
Lawrence (Marcy) Swenson of
Rochester, Steven (Deb) Swenson
of Pine Island, and George (Lonna)
Swenson of Mazeppa.
She is preceded in death by her
husband, Gerald Wees; step-son,
Bradley A. Wees; her parents; and
a brother, Edward Swenson.
A memorial service was held
on Saturday, June 14, at Ranfranz
and Vine Funeral Homes with
Pastor Gary Wees officiating.
Burial took place at Pine Island
Cemetery.
John Ratgen 1927-2014
John Carl Ratgen was born at
home on December 29, 1927 in
Bird Island to Carl and Alma
(Strandness) Ratgen. He obtained
his GED and worked a variety of
jobs, ending his employment with
the City of Pine Island Wastewa-
ter Treatment/Peoples Service
where he was employed for the
last thirteen years of his career.
John married Bernice Jager in 1963.
John brought two children to that
marriage, Darlene Livingston and
Cliff (Mary Jane) Ratgen). John
and Bernice then had four addi-
tional children, Charles, David
(Rose), Bradley (Carla), and Marc
(Dawn) Ratgen, all of whom are
part of Johns legacy that he left
behind in this world when he
slipped away at the ripe old age of
86 on June 5, 2014. Johns legacy
also includes 15 grandchildren and
three great-grandchildren. He was
preceded in death by his parents
and siblings, his wifes parents,
and one of her siblings, as well as
his son-in-law.
Other than his family, perhaps
his biggest accomplishment was
his 32 years of sobriety after a
long and fierce battle with alco-
hol. He left this world a recover-
ing alcoholic and now enjoys a
full recovery and complete seren-
ity with his Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. He was a good standing
member of Zumbrotas AA group
and leaves behind many close and
dear friends who continue their
battle of sobriety, living one day
at a time.
He also leaves behind a world
of friends, as he has always made
time for others and never missed
an opportunity to connect with
those around him.
John enjoyed sweets and ice
cream, coffee, hunting and fish-
ing, his grandchildren, and the
loving companionship, friendship,
and support of his wife. He had a
great sense of humor and almost
everyone who came into contact
with him loved his company. He
was an unbelievably strong per-
son who had a very good soul and
was one of the most funny, lov-
ing, and caring men you could
know.
His life ended on his own terms
as his body wore out and he was
blessed to have been surrounded
by his family and friends on his
last days on this earth. He truly
fought the good fight and finished
the race, all while remaining faith-
ful. His family and friends will
miss him dearly and fondly re-
member him their remaining days
in this world.
A celebration of Johns life will
be at 2 p.m. on June 22 at United
Redeemer Lutheran Church in
Zumbrota. In lieu of flowers, the
family requests that memorials be
made to the church or Mayo Clinic
Hospice, Wabasha office. At his
request, Johns body was cremated.
His remains will stay with his wife
until she joins him in eternity so
that they will be together always,
both here and in Heaven. To God
be the glory forever and ever.
Amen.

Returning to his
roots is important
to Gus Bradley
By Faye Haugen
ZUMBROTA Thirty years ago
when Paul Casey Bradley walked
across the gym floor to receive his
diploma at Zumbrota High School,
he wasnt sure where lifes path
would take him. He knew he was
going to North Dakota State Uni-
versity to play football and that he
liked sports.
When Gus (his nickname to fam-
ily and friends) was in third grade
his greatest desire was to play in
the National Football League, but
as a college freshman he set a course
in business administration. Play-
ing free safety for the Bison, NDSU
won three NCAA Division II titles
(1985, 1986 and 1988). Just five
credits away from earning his de-
gree, Bradleys football coach
asked if he would be interested in
being a graduate assistant the next
season. But he would also need to
get his physical education degree
to join the football coaching staff.
I was interested in coaching,
so I finished by getting a double
major and started coaching the next
season, said Bradley who is now
the head coach of the National
Football Leagues Jacksonville
Jaguars. Bradley will be the Grand
Marshal of Saturdays Covered
Bridge Festival Parade that be-
gins at 6 p.m. down Main Street.
Bradley worked four seasons for
the Bison, earning his Masters De-
gree in athletic administration in
1992. He accepted the position of
defensive coordinator/linebackers
coach at Fort Lewis College in
Durango, Colorado in 1992, be-
coming their head coach in De-
cember of 1995. Before he could
coach his first game, NDSU came
calling and he returned to Fargo,
joining the Bison as the defensive
coordinator. He rose to assistant
head coach and held that position
until he was hired to join the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers in the NFL in 2006
as their defensive quality control
coach. He was promoted to line-
backers coach in 2007.
In early 2009, fellow coach
Monte Kiffin recommended Bra-
dley to the Seattle Seahawks for
the defensive coordinator position.
While with the Seahawks, Brad-
ley saw his defensive unit rise to
be one of the best units in the league.
Seattle won the Super Bowl last
year using their stingy defense to
whip Denver. That defensive unit
was one that Bradley had a strong
hand in building.
In January of 2013, Bradley took
another step in his coaching ca-
reer, becoming the head coach of
at Jacksonville. He won his first
game in November when the Jags
beat Tennessee 29-27. The team
finished with a 4-12 record.
Despite his rise as an NFL head
coach, Bradley still has a lot of
Zumbrota in him. I have so many
good memories. The high school
experience, all the games we
played, classmates. But I have
good memories from all of the
places Ive been, from Colorado,
NDSU, Tampa Bay, Seattle. All
of it was good. Ive been fortu-
nate to live and play in good cit-
ies, Bradley remarked from his
home in Jacksonville.
Bradley credits his parents,
Gloria and Roy for keeping him
down to earth. They were my
biggest influences. They told me
to never forget my roots. And I
havent. Respecting the commu-
nity is one of the reasons that Bra-
dley returns to Zumbrota this week-
end. This community gave me
so much when I was here. My
parents and the community shaped
me into who I am, said the 1984
Zumbrota graduate.
Worried that he would change
with all the trappings of the NFL,
one of his coaches urged Bradley
to be true to himself. When people
would ask me for my autograph it
just felt so egotistical to me. Pete
Carroll told me that if you stop
and give 10 seconds of happiness
to someone, why wouldnt you do
that. That made it easier for me.
Another coach said to just be genu-
ine, true to yourself and be humble.
Zumbrota is a genuine place and I
credit the people of Zumbrota for
instilling this in me. These are all
little lessons of life and Im learn-
ing all the time.
Juggling coaching and family
time is Bradleys biggest struggle.
There are a lot of obligations. I
could be gone every night. But
that isnt fair to my family, noted
the father of four. Carter (14), Anna
(12), Eli (10) and Ella (6) are all
involved in sports which keeps
Bradley and his wife Michaela
busy on weekends. Jacksonvilles
mini-camp begins on Monday and
continues through Thursday. Bra-
dley will leave for Minnesota on
Friday and return to Florida on
Sunday. The rest of the Bradley
family will be heading to Wash-
ington to visit friends for the week.
We have been promising the kids
that we would go back to Seattle
so they could visit their friends
and it works out great that they
can go this week. Its good for me
in that I can get back to Zumbrota
and see Mom.
Bradley pointed out that the best
part of his job is meeting new
people. Ive had the chance to
meet a lot of great people. Rick
Pitino stopped by at practice re-
cently, as did Brian Urlacher. We
had some really good discussions.
But I still get to see people I know.
A home game hasnt gone by where
someone from Seattle, Tampa Bay,
my family or friends havent stayed
at our home. Every game day some-
one is here and we really enjoy
that, Bradley pointed out.
Brothers Scott, Pat and Kelly
and sisters Lynn and Jody and their
families all have made the trip south
for games in Jacksonville. Gus is
closest to Kelly since only two
years separate the two of them.
Kelly and I talk and email each
other a lot. We are still pretty close.
He likes to come down before the
season starts and go to practice,
said Gus.
For the first time in over 10 years,
Gus will not be headed to the fam-
ily cabin in Park Rapids for a va-
cation. There just isnt enough time,
so he plans on enjoying his stay in
Zumbrota this weekend.
I may have to go out and hunt
night crawlers with a flashlight
on Friday night. That will take me
back to my roots, he laughed.

GOODHUE Minnesota State
High School Clay Target Leagues
2014 Championships were held
on Friday, June 6, at the Alexan-
dria Shooting Park in Alexandria.
The Goodhue team won Confer-
ence 1 of 1A. Blake Hinrichs was
conference high gun average cham-
pion, and Jed Lindblom and Matt
Vieths shot personal best scores
of 87 and 85, respectively.
In all, 3,948 registered student
athletes were scheduled to par-
ticipate in the championship, June
6-10, making this event the larg-
est youth trapshooting tournament
in the world. For five days, stu-
dent athletes representing 176
Minnesota high schools competed
for individual and team achieve-
ments in novice, junior varsity, and
varsity classifications. This year
over the five days there were ap-
proximately15,000 spectators.
This was a great year for all six
Goodhue athletes, because each
improved as the season progressed.
They had to overcome extreme
cold and windy weather condi-
tions that plagued their team
throughout the season. Everyone
needed to average 40 targets on
the last night of competition and
they came through to win the con-
ference title. Coach Mark Bestul
said, It was a very enjoyable group
of young men to work with.
The Minnesota State High
School Clay Target League is a
co-ed sport open to all students in
grades 7-12. If you or your child
would enjoy shooting sports, then
you should consider joining the
team for the 2015 spring season.
ZM places fourth in conference
ZUMBROTA The Zumbrota-
Mazeppa trap team placed fourth
in the conference this spring.
Coach Sam Michels reports that
there were some ups and downs
as usual. We fought the weather
most of the spring. Our first prac-
tice had two feet of snow on the
ground and it was cold, pointed
out Coach Michels, who added,
As the weather improved, so did
the scores.
Zach Sanborn, Tyler Poncelet,
Eric Swanson, Rose Bridley,
Alyssa Sommerfield, Aubrey Reu-
ter and Brittney Sanborn all placed
in conference competition. Brid-
ley earned a plaque for finishing
second in the conference. Connor
Hegseth set a ZM record for a per-
fect score in competition.
The season concluded on June
6 in Alexandria at the Minnesota
State High School Clay Target
Leagues 2014 Championships.
Advancing to State from ZM were
Bridley, Swanson, Zach Miller,
Ben Klepperich and Alex Nelson.
Against tough competition, ZM
tallied a score of 398 out of 500.
Alexandria is a good experi-
ence for the students. They are
already talking about next year,
remarked Coach Michels.
The Minnesota State High
School League sponsored the first
sanctioned state championship for
trap this past weekend. Minne-
sota is the first state to hold such
an event.
Assisting Michels this season
were Dwayne Eckert, David
Husbyn and Wayne Livingston.
Sue Swanson kept everyone noti-
fied of all the announcements for
the team.
Members of the Zumbrota-Mazeppa trap shooting squad that took part in the Minnesota State High School

After nearly 60 years on Zumbrotas Main Street,
Lois Lerfald still has no plans to retire
Lois Lerfald has only had four employers while working nearly 60 years
on Zumbrotas Main Street. Steve Matthees at Matthees Midtown Shell
has been her employer since July 2007. The business, located at the
northwest corner of the intersection of Main and Fifth Streets in downtown
Zumbrota, is the same location where she began working for Robert
Seely at Zumbrota Motors on October 8, 1954.
By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA Not many
people can say they are working
in the same town where they be-
gan their career nearly six decades
ago. Even fewer can say they have
worked on the same street or are
working at the same location where
they started. Though Lois Lerfald
had two short absences during her
long career, you will find her work-
ing 25 hours a week at Matthees
Midtown Shell and Food Mart at
the corner of Main and Fifth Streets
in Zumbrota the same site where
she started working on October 8,
1954.
Lerfald (maiden name Lange)
was raised on a farm by Racine
and graduated from Stewartville
High School on June 4, 1954. By
that time she was already dating
her future husband, Clinton Lerfald
of Zumbrota. The couple met at a
dance in Racine.
Though Lerfald had missed five
months of her sophomore year of
high school due to polio, and spent
time at the Sister Kenny Institute
rehabilitating, she still did well
with her studies and graduated on
time with her classmates. One class
she excelled in was bookkeeping.
Clinton was working for Ace
Furos at Zumbrota Motors and
knew of a bookkeeping position
that would be available when Rob-
ert Seely would take over the busi-
ness in October. Bob bought the
business October 1 and I started
work October 8. He took a chance
hiring me. I was only 18 years
old. He always remained my
friend, she said as she recalled
Seelys visits to her years later
during a hospitalization.
Clinton got a job with MnDOT
in Albert Lea in 1957, and Lois
and Clinton got married in 1958.
Clint always said he wouldnt
get married until he had a decent
job, Lois explained of the long
courtship. Though the Lerfalds
lived in Albert Lea for five years,
Lois periodically came back to
Zumbrota to help Seely out. In
some situations, Seely traveled to
Albert Lea as was the case in De-
cember 1959 when the Lerfalds
son, Jeff, was born and the year-
end financial reports needed
completion. While living in Albert
Lea, Lois also worked at Don
Norton Ford, receiving the job with
Seelys recommendation.
In 1963, the Lerfalds moved back
to Zumbrota after MnDOT trans-
ferred Clinton to the area. Lois
returned to working at Bob Seely
Ford on a part-time basis. She also
worked part-time for the Ford
dealerships in Stewartville and
Albert Lea, working primarily on
monthly financial statements.
Move on Main Street
In 1967, Bob Seely Ford moved
south, from its 448 Main Street
downtown site to 1660 Main Street,
a location near Highway 52. Lois
made the move with the business.
She said the property had previ-
ously been part of a farm owned
by her father-in-law, Peder Lerfald.
Clinton was born on the farm that
now includes the highway and a
busy business area.
In March 1968, Lerfald began
working on a full-time basis. In
1980, Perry Weeks took over own-
ership, though the business name
(Bob Seely Ford) remained the
same. In 1999, Steve Johnson
bought the business and it became
Zumbrota Ford.
Lerfald remained the bookkeeper
through the transitions, continu-
ing to work full-time until Octo-
ber 26, 2005. It had been just over
51 years since she first began
working for the car dealerships.
She stopped working at that time
because I couldnt leave Clint
home alone because of his health.
He passed away in April 2007.
Return to work
Three months later, in July 2007,
Lerfald returned to where she be-
gan her career the corner of Main
and Fifth Streets in downtown
Zumbrota. This time it was to work
for Bruce Matthees at Matthees
Midtown Shell and Food Mart.
Working nearly 50 hours every
two weeks, she said, Its not a
high stress job. I see all kinds of
people coming in. And Bruce is a
good person to work for.
The job not only keeps Lerfald
busy with customers coming in to
make purchases or pay for fuel,
but she also has a great view of
what is going on near the busy
corner. Besides the pedestrian and
vehicle traffic, she sees the activ-
ity around the Armory across Main
Street as well as the three com-
muter buses that drop passengers
off each weekday afternoon.
Matthees said people enjoy be-
ing able to visit with Lerfald when
they stop in. He sees Lerfald as
pretty much the assistant man-
ager now with her role as not
only serving and checking out
customers, but also stocking
shelves, keeping an eye on the price
of items, and keeping him informed
as needed.
Changes
With six decades of work expe-
rience, Lerfald has had to make
some adjustments. The biggest
occurred in 1999 when she
switched to doing her work on a
computer at age 62. Up until then,
it was a manual process using a
calculator and brainpower. In her
current role, she uses the cash reg-
ister and credit card machine with
ease. Making change is no prob-
lem with 50 years of bookkeeping
experience.
In Zumbrota, despite the increase
in the amount of traffic, there is a
decrease in the number of gas and
service stations. She noted that on
the corner of Jefferson (Old 52)
and South Main (Highway 58) there
had been three service stations.
The power-train in cars is built
much better now than in the 1950s.
Cars had to be overhauled at 30,000
miles back then.
Lerfald also mentioned other
changes that have occurred on Main
Street. Some blocks have build-
ings that are totally gone and have
not been replaced. One example
is between Fourth and Fifth Streets
where the Armory is the only build-
ing remaining of those that were
there in 1954 and that has been
completely redone.
Not ready to retire
When asked how long people
can expect to continue to see her
working on Main Street, Lerfald
responded, As long as Gods
willing. Im not a person to sit
around. In addition to her job at
Matthees Midtown, she is also the
local manager for The Put It
Place, storage units.
Family is important to Lerfald.
She enjoys spending time with her
daughter and son-in-law, Jean and
Dan Burdick and their four chil-
dren on their farm. Her son, Tom,
lives in Rochester. She doesnt
see her daughter, Paula, and her
husband, Chris Karssiens, as of-
ten as she would like since they
live in Singapore. Son, Jeff, is
deceased.
With continuing to work on Main
Street all these years, the most
rewarding part for Lois has been
all the great people I have met.

Minnesota Wifi signs
agreement with Wanamingo
WANAMINGO A second
internet service provider has signed
a contract with Wanamingo, ex-
panding the options for residents
and businesses. The city will al-
low Minnesota Wifi to rent space
for their equipment on the city
water towers. In exchange, Min-
nesota Wifi will pay the city $100
per month for rent, provide free
internet service to city hall, the
maintenance shop, and the fire sta-
tion; and to provide service at three
free public hot spot locations. The
agreement is similar to the one the
city has with Jaguar, formerly
known as DM Broadband. The city
council agreed to the terms of the
contract at its June 9 meeting.
The lease agreement term is five
years, with options to renew. All
costs for installation and needed
repairs for equipment would be
the responsibility of the service
provider, as the city will not be
held responsible for damage of
equipment.
Other service providers inter-
ested in placing their equipment
on Wanamingo water towers would
need to agree to the same terms
and contract.
Public Works report
Public Works Director Steve

and coworker Monty Schaefer jet-
ted the sewer lines and the pro-
cess went well. Banners were put

addition to mowing and street
sweeping. Work at the pool took
much longer than expected, and
needed repairs were addressed just
in time for the pool to open for the
season. Work on the Riverside Park
shelter continued. Repair and up-
dating work on the old water well
house was completed; they now
wait for the final inspection.
The council reviewed and ap-
proved the third quarter mainte-
nance plan for Haggstrom and
Schaefer.

approved, including re-roofing
permits for Jon McElmury, Ali-
cia Hunt-Welch, Jack Sabin, Jes-
sica Flotterud, and Russell
Blakstad; siding permit for Stuart
Hegseth; a new garage door per-
mit for Groth Implements 3rd
Avenue building; porch addition
permit for Brian Johnson; and a
new deck permit for Marvin Quam.
The next regular city council
meeting will be Monday, July 14
at 7 p.m. in council chambers.
The city will hold a budget work-
shop meeting on July 28 at 5 p.m.
in council chambers. They will be
discussing city needs and prepar-
ing for the 2015 budget.
Prior to adjourning the meet-

his condolences to the family of
Billy Pohlman who died tragically
in a farming accident. Pohlman,
26, was a longtime area resident
and active member of the com-
munity.
Wanamingo moves toward sale
of land to Concast for expansion
WANAMINGO City engineer
Brandon Theobald of WHKS En-
gineering of Rochester submitted
a preliminary plat for review of
Cenex Addition 4 to the
Wanamingo Economic Develop-
ment Authority on June 9. Theobald
also presented an official plat to
be filed with the county, a grading
plan, and an engineers estimate
of construction costs for the project.
Both the EDA and the city coun-
cil reviewed the documents and
took steps toward selling a por-
tion of land to Concast for expan-
sion and preparing adjacent land
for future business development.
Currently the land south of
Concast and Marcstone is an out-
lot. Concast would like to expand
their site. To do this, the city must
move forward with preparing plans,
infrastructure and development.
Concast would like about 4.6
acres in land directly south of their
property. Land to the south of
Marcstone, next to Highway 57,
would be platted into three rect-
angular lots without utility ease-
ments in preparation for future sale
to commercial businesses.
Soil borings were completed on
the land. More top soil was present
than expected. Because of this,
another 9,000 cubic yards of top-
soil will need to be excavated from
the area behind Concast before
the land meet standards for devel-
opment. Ideally local contractors
could make a deal with the city to
buy the topsoil, rather than the
city paying to haul it off site. An-
other option would be for the city
to stockpile the dirt until it is needed.
Due to the additional excavat-
ing needed, the cost of the project
went from the $290,000 original
estimate to $332,355. Theobald
said a $61,000 contingency was
built into the original estimate, and
the additional cost falls well within
that.
Preparation land grading would
direct water to the north and to-
ward the roadway. An infiltration
basin would be constructed along
a fifty foot utility easement adja-
cent to the Marcstone property line
going east-west.
Concast would like to begin work
right away. For this reason,
Theobald said Concast will likely
hire the excavator and pay for that
cost; in return the city would give
Concast a credit toward the land
purchase. The engineers plans for
land grading must be followed,
whether the city hires the excava-
tor or Concast does. Concast was
agreeable to the grading plan and
the company will still need to show
plans outlining final intent for
developing the land after purchase.
Public hearing and approval
from city officials
Two public hearings were held
on the proposed sale of land to
Concast; one during the EDA
meeting and the other later at the
city council meeting. No comment
was offered during either hear-
ing.
The EDA approved the Cenex
4 interim grading plan and the
development agreement between
the city and Parrot Head Devel-
opment LLC, the official name of
Concast.
Keith Allen was renting the
outlot land for use as a seed plot.
Allen was informed prior to plant-
ing this year of the pending action
to develop the addition. The EDA
approved refunding the land rental
money to Allen for this year.
Council action on the project
Theobald presented the same
information to the Wanamingo City
Council later that evening. He said
grant funding may be available to
help the city with the addition and
this will be looked into.
Financial advisor George
Eilertson with Northland Securi-
ties spoke to the council about
options and timelines for financ-
ing the project. Eilertson said
$540,000 in financing could be
obtained for the public project. A
general obligation improvement
bond would assess at least 20% of
the project cost. The council and
Eilertson discussed ideal length
of term and the pros and cons of
having a rated bond issued versus
unrated bond project rates. The
city will likely need funding bonds
in place by September.
The council approved a profes-
sional services agreement with
WHKS to conduct engineering and
the project inspection overview
on the Cenex Addition 4 project.
In addition, Concast requested
a Phase I environmental site as-
sessment and geotechnical evalu-
ation on the land prior to purchas-
ing the land. For this, the council
approved a service agreement with
American Engineering for soil
compaction and environmental
testing of the land. The total costs
of these services was $5,891 for
site assessment and geotechnical
evaluation and $4,690.50 for ma-
terials testing. $2,400 of this will
be charged back to Concast for
their portion of the expense.
The council gave authorization
to the EDA to work on behalf of
the city for a purchase and devel-
opment agreement with Parrot
Head Development, LLC. The
council also approved the interim
grading plan for Cenex Addition
4.
If the land sale with Concast is
finalized and the project is a go,
land grading could begin within
weeks. Advertising for contrac-
tor bids would begin in July. Bids
would be accepted in August. Pre-
liminary site work would be com-
pleted by November, and in spring
of 2015 the final layer of bitumi-
nous on the road would be laid.
Is a solar power farm
coming to Goodhue?
By R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE At the Goodhue
City Council meeting on June 11
councilors Leia Ryan and Tia
Schimek reported on a meeting
about a possible solar power farm
in Goodhue that they had with rep-
resentatives of Renewable Energy
Systems Americans, Inc. (RES
Americas), a company based in
Broomfield, Colorado. Also at the
meeting were County Commis-
sioner Jim Bryant, Goodhue Town-
ship Represen-tative Dale Dicke,
gas board member Wayne Gadient
and Peter Mastic, formerly listed
as the sole owner of New Era Wind
Farm LLC.
Two sites one-half mile east of
Goodhue have been selected for
this project. The company says
they will need a block of land
amounting to 300 acres. They have
two plots available, one is 153 acres
and the other is 151 acres.
The reason for selecting
Goodhue is because of its prox-
imity to the electrical transformer
in Goodhue and Vasa, which were
upgraded for a wind farm in 2012.
The solar panels that will be used
are black, so they do not reflect
the sun and they are two feet by
four feet in size.
It was stated that at this time
they do not want to involve the
Minnesota Public Utilities Com-
mission. There is some urgency
to get the project started, as gov-
ernment funding must be approved
by August 2015. The city council
left several instructions for city
attorney Richard Gorman to fol-
low up on and to report at the next
council meeting on June 25 at 6:30
p.m.
Other business
Mitch Gadient has been hired
by the city to spray public areas.
New T-shirts for the swimming
pool are now available and all city
council members have purchased
one. The cost will be fifteen dol-
lars each, which includes a dona-
tion to the new pool. Council
member John Adams wanted to
commend the swimming pool com-
mittee for showing great effort and
getting results.
Goodhue
WANAMINGO Contract ne-
gotiations between the Kenyon-
Wanamingo Education Assoc-
iation teachers union and the dis-
trict has reached final approval.
With the KWEA voting to approve
the two-year contract, the master
agreement was returned to the
school board for final approval at
the May 30 meeting. According
to the contract, teachers will re-
ceive a 2.92% increase in the first
year of the contract, and a 6.7%
increase in the 2014-15 year of
the contract.
Changes made from
the previous agreement
Negotiations started by taking
the previous contract and making
changes to the language within.
Sick leave was changed to be in
compliance with the state statute
changes. Positions added to the
salary schedule were robotics and
trapshooting coaches. An addi-
tional $1,000 per year stipend for
longevity pay was approved for
teachers at the Masters step 15.
Pay lanes were added to the new
contract that did not previously
exist. The lanes will be reflected
in semester hours; some staff on
trimester hours needed adjustment.
Superintendent Jeff Evert said
six years ago the salary schedule
was compressed, and in that pro-
cess there were staff members who
went backwards in pay. Evert com-
mended those affected for hang-
ing in there until the situation was
remedied.
Throughout the last decade,
during times when the district was
in statutory operating debt or in
financial recovery, many times the
teachers agreed to a pay freeze or
very minimal increase. Pay for
teachers at Kenyon-Wanamingo
had fallen far behind that teachers
in other districts. Pay has been a
factor in many teachers accepting
positions with other districts or
not accepting a position at KW.
The increased salaries approved
will cost the district about $71,500
($94,500 with medical and insur-
ance expenses) for the 2013-14
school year and $168,500
($207,500 with expenses) for the
2014-15 year.
Evert said the increases offered
in the new contract will be sub-
stantial to the district budget, yet
even with this pay hike KW teach-
ers will still be paid less than teach-
ers in nearby districts.
Consideration for other staff
One teacher, Amy Buchal, is
on special assignment as the
districts special education coor-
dinator, in addition to her regular
teaching duties. The coordinator
duties are not included in the mas-
ter teachers agreement. Therefore,
the board agreed that Buchal be
paid 1.1 times her regular teachers
salary; with the .1 full-time equiva-
lent in compensation for the addi-
tional coordinator duties. Buchal
will be paid a total of $48,750.90
for the year, and she is contracted
to provide ten flexible summer
working days.
With the contract negotiations
completed for the certified staff,
the negotiations committee will
now begin contract talks with non-
certified staff.
Kenyon-Wanamingo teachers receive
pay increase in approved contract
Personnel changes
Elementary art teacher Matt
Addington and high school En-
glish teacher Scott Soden submit-
ted their resignations to be effec-
tive at the end of the school year.
Soden has accepted a position with
another district. Educational as-
sistant Christine Larish resigned
her position on May 30.
Doug Thompson was paid
$3,017 for serving as the 2013-14
robotics team coach.
Shane Lunde and Larry Walker
were employed as trapshooting
coaches for the 2013-14 season.
They were each compensated $800
for the position. Kim Keller was
hired to work through Teachers
on Call as a special education as-
sistant substitute teacher. Kellers
employment was effective April
17 through the end of the school
year.
Janelle Flom was hired as a dance
team coach for the 2014-15 school
year. Flom will be paid $3,520 for
the year.

Unserviceable flags retired June 14
Twelve-year-old Madeline Drenckhahn was among those who stopped
by the flag retirement ceremony. After learning why flags are burned,
she assists with the process, getting guidance from Howard Ayen.
Mary Ayen gathers a U. S. flag while Harlen Redfield also picks up a flag for disposal on June 14 at the Stary-
Yerka VFW Post 5727 in Zumbrota. Larry Pederson is at one of the burn barrels with another flag.
By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA Part of the
United States Flag Code states that
when a flag is so tattered that it
no longer fits to serve as a symbol
of the United States, it should be
destroyed in a dignified manner,
preferably by burning. On Sat-
urday, June 14, the Stary-Yerka
VFW Post 5727 and American
Legion conducted their annual flag
retirement ceremony behind the
VFW.
For nearly 100 years, June 14
has been designated as Flag Day.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wil-
son issued a proclamation estab-
lishing the date. There are differ-
ing stories of celebrations prior to
1916 but all were in honor of our
national flag. Thirty-three years
later on August 3, 1949, President
Harry Truman signed an act of
Congress designating June 14 as
National Flag Day.
Unserviceable flags have been
collected and retired during an-
nual ceremonies on June 14 in
Zumbrota for approximately eight
years. Worn and tattered flags can
be dropped off at any time during
the year in the flag collection box
located in the VFW parking lot.
Prior to the burning of the flags,
a brief ceremony was conducted
by participants Howard Ayen,
Harlan Redfield, and Larry
Pederson. Periodically, other mem-
bers of the VFW, Legion, and com-
munity stopped to watch or assist.
Though a count of the number
of flags was not done this year,
the flags filled two 32-gallon con-
tainers. The flags were of a vari-
ety of sizes and also included POW
and Minnesota state flags. The total
time to carry all the flags indi-
vidually to one of two barrels to
be burned was approximately 40
minutes.

Monday, June 9, and split with
the Bulldogs. On Wednesday,

They will travel to Zumbrota on

lost 1-0, as Brady Braaten fired a
one-hitter for PI. Braaten finished
with two walks and struck out
seven.
PI got a single from Braden
Aakre and threatened in the fourth
and fifth innings, but theyleft
them loaded in one inning and
had the tying run at second to
end the game.
In the nightcap, Connor McK-
enzie fired a two-hitter, walked
four, and struck out three in get-
ting the complete game victory.
McKenzie also drilled a two-run
double, while Jacob Navratil went
2 for 3, added a two-run double,
and scored twice. Noah Bauer
and Trevor Turner each scored
twice, with Braden Aakre and
Noah Koenig each scoring once.

tom of the fourth inning.
Broc Finstuen had held the Bomb-
ers to one run on three hits, two
walks, and four strikeouts through
three innings.
The Bombers then exploded for
four runs in the bottom of the fourth
on PI relief pitchers to break the
game open.
PI could get just four hits, two
from Brady Braaten and base hits
from Jacob Navratil and Noah Bauer.
PI only struck out twice, but CF
was able to play errorless baseball
behind their pitcher to shut down
the PI offense.

ZUMBROTA Because of
scheduling problems, the Minne-
sota State High School League
will institute a district football
alignment to provide all teams
with an eight-game regular sea-
son schedule in 2015.
The Southeast Football Alli-
ance (the old HVL and Three
Rivers football conferences) will
see a few changes from the sched-
ule they adopted last season.
In their first season last year
the alliance was divided into three
divisions, the Red, White and
Blue. Members of the Red Divi-
sion consisted of the biggest
schools: Lourdes, Kasson-Man-
torville, Stewartville, Plainview-
Elgin-Millville, LaCrescent, Lake
City, Byron and Cannon Falls.
In the White Division were Tri-
ton, Pine Island, Lewiston-Altura,
Zumbrota--Mazeppa, Kenyon-
Wanamingo, St. Charles, Cotter
and Dover-Eyota. Blue Division
members were Caledonia, Chat-
field, Rushford-Peterson, Hay-
field, Fillmore Central, Goodhue,
Wabasha-Kellogg, Southland and
Kingsland.
The new Southeast District
will include Byron, Caledonia,
Cannon Falls, Chatfield, Cotter,
Dover-Eyota, Kasson-Mantor-
ville, LaCrescent, Lake City, Pine
Island, Plainview-Elgin-Millville,
Lourdes, St. Charles, Stewartville,
Triton and Zumbrota-Mazeppa.
The Mid-Southeast District
will include: Bethlehem Acad-
emy, Blooming Prairie, Fillmore
Central, Goodhue, Hayfield, Jan-
esville-Waldorf-Pemberton,
Kenyon-Wanamingo, Kingsland,
Lewiston-Altura, Loyola, Med-
ford, Rushford-Peterson, South-
land, St. Clair, Untied South Cen-
tral and Wabasha-Kellogg.
A 10-member football place-
ment committee met five times
to place schools in districts us-
ing enrollment, geography, like
schools, current conference mem-
bership and current opponents as
key criteria.
Each district will now be di-
vided into sub-districts for the
2015 and 2016 seasons. It is
hoped that this will be completed
by November.
District football will start in
2015 for high school teams

Michael Johnson and John Gorka
double the folk in Zumbrota
ZUMBROTA Two folk mu-
sic legends will take the stage at
the State Theatre, playing their
own sets. Crossings is bringing
Michael Johnson and John Gorka
to Zumbrota on Saturday, June
28, at 8 p.m. Come early to enjoy
Crossings Garden Party, from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m.
With a brand-new album out,
Bright Side of Down, John Gorka
is widely regarded as one of con-
temporary folk musics leading
talents (Vintage Guitar). Its the
first studio album in more than
four years for the singer/songwriter
known for his wry take on the
human condition.
His unique sound and lyrical
insight have earned him genera-
tions of devoted fans and a career
thats found him gracing the stages
of PBSs Austin City Limits, NPRs
Mountain Stage and venues world-
wide. His music tells stories, ex-
presses deep emotion, and invites
listeners to reflect. The audience
is drawn right in to the heart of the
music by Gorkas baritone voice
and the clear tones of his guitar.
Michael Johnson, who inciden-
tally lent his vocals to Gorkas
latest album, will perform his music
the same night. Johnsons latest
album, Moonlit Dj Vu came
out in 2012.
Johnsons music is more varied
than those who know him only
from his pop music Bluer than
Blue, and Thats That, for ex-
ample might guess. He also has
had number one hits in country
and R&B, all graced by the warmth
in his voice even as his style
evolved. The singer and fingerstyle
guitarist delivers acoustic master-
pieces in every performance.
Crossings is closing down the
street for its first-ever Garden Party,
featuring art for the garden and
garden for the art! Shop for out-
door furniture, local honey, cut
flowers, plants, metal and ceramic
art and handmade bird and butter-
fly houses. Master gardeners will
be on-hand to share gardening
know-how, and people can learn
about rainbarrels and composting,
as well as watch while artists cre-
ate beautiful outdoor paintings. The
Party is 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Satur-
day, June 28, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday, June 29.
