Five properties were acquired through the DNR buyout program, and one property was acquired through the federal buyout pro- gram. Over the years Pine Island has changed and grown. The first pio- neers came to the area in the early 1850s. The Indians called it “Wa- zu-wee-ta,” which translates to “Is- land of Pines,” referring to a strip of land on the south side of the river where there were many pine trees. Many homes and businesses have come and gone in Pine Is- land. Recently more changes have been taking place including the demolition of the Pine Motel, which was built in 1951 by Clayton and Rose Ann Zeller, life-long own- ers and operators of the motel. The couple first named their place of business the Wa-zu-wee-ta Mo- tel, but changed the name to the Pine Motel after Highway 52 re- routed in the mid-to-late 1950s to where it is today. The six-room motel closed its doors in Decem- ber of 2002. Though Clayton passed away in 2007, Rose Ann remained at the motel until 2012. Besides a few homes, other no- table buildings recently demolished include the former Olson Repair building (next to Green’s An- tiques), the apartment building located across from the Douglas Trail/City Park, which years ago housed a small restaurant and was owned by former Pine Island resi- dent Vern Schneider, and the former Pine Cheese Mart build- ing owned by Wally Von Klopp, which was most recently used for storage and living space. The former Cheese Mart building was a real barn that belonging to the Collins family. It was purchased and moved from the west side of town to the east side of town by Goodhue to decide on the future of the pool From left to right, Andy Brandle and Bob Mickelson of I & S Group, Goodhue Public Works assistant Derrick Weckerling, and Mayor Kerry Bien examine the large crack at the south end of the Goodhue swimming pool.

The city council and the pool board agreed with him. A special meet- ing of the pool board and the engi- neering firm I & S Group’s repre- sentatives will be at 6:30 p.m. to- night, Wednesday, September 18 at city hall. When the pool was constructed in 1983, it was supposed to last twenty years. However, due to a large amount of maintenance and the replacing of pumps and other equipment, it has lasted thirty years. A large crack in the cement in the deep side of the pool is a major problem. The City of Goodhue instructed I & S Group to assess the condi- tions of the pool. The pool is forty feet by eighty feet, and is three feet deep on the shallow end and ten feet deep on the other side. There is also a small wading pool and a bathhouse on the property. A fiberglass liner on the shal- low end covers any cracks. The rest of the pool is covered by nu- merous cracks that have been caulked with Vulkem sealant. There is one 23-foot-long crack on the south end. The cement has moved enough so a man could place his hand in the crack. There ap- pears to be movement both verti- cally and horizontally. The re-bar can be seen and it is corroding. As a result of the cracks and the pumps, the pool has lost an average of 1,000 gallons per day and a maxi- mum of 8,000 gallons in one day. It is feared that this lost water is creating a sinkhole near or under the pool. The wading pool also has many cracks in the concrete. The bathhouse has several ar- eas that are not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To correct these defi- ciencies would require removing walls and rebuilding the interior. The bathhouse exterior needs work as well. The roof should be re- placed and the walls need to be cleaned and sealed.

Heather Gadient expressed concern that repairing the pool may create a “money pit” for Goodhue. This was also the opinion of the pool board. As of now, Goodhue is looking at some new questions. When will the work be started and completed? How much will it cost and how will it be financed? Should there be a slide at the pool? Should the new pool be built at the same lo- cation as the existing one? How big should it be? Will there be more parking area? Can it be near the bike path for the safety of the kids? Is this a problem only for the City of Goodhue or can the surrounding townships get in- volved? Should there be a joint powers agreement between local governments?

Residents keep Zumbrota Towers beautifulTo the Editor:
Mrs. Heydmann provided anarticle and photo for the Septem-ber 4 paper regarding flowersplanted at Zumbrota Towers.
There are several people in-volved in plants and their care atZumbrota Towers. Foremost isDorothy Mathias, a lovely and gen-erous resident who has extensivelybeautified the area near the south-east exit door. Dorothy has planted,landscaped, and added a trellis andflowering plants to our hosta beds
on the south side of the building.If you walk on East Avenue youmay have noticed the progress!She also cares for these areas.
Anne Bickle, our wonderfulmanager, has relaxed previous“house rules” to allow residentsto plant vegetables in pots on theback patio. We have tomatoes,beans, pepper plants, and an herbpot. Various individuals haveplanted the pots and care for them.
Last year our management pro-
vided a lovely wrought iron tableand chairs for our back patio. Weare all so grateful to still be able toenjoy gardening and grilling out-doors just as we had in earlier chap-ters in our lives.
Summers in Minnesota are short.We are happily able to enjoy manyaspects of the season despite liv-ing in apartments. Life is good!P.S. We love Zumbrota.

Consequences, part two
“By the time you read this col-umn, Congress will have made upits mind about Syria.” Okay, so Iguessed that one wrong. But wewere headed in that way. I think itis interesting that we proposed anidea over a month ago that Syriaturn over all chemical weapons toan international group. At that timeRussia rejected the idea. Then weput bombs on the table deliveredby low flying cruise missiles (hardto stop with their air defense), andsuddenly the Russians are push-ing the “turn over the chemicalweapons idea” if we will take thecruise missiles off the table.
What does it mean for us to takethe military strike off the table?Maybe it means: If the negotia-tions fail and Assad doesn’t turnover the weapons, we would donothing. Or maybe, if the talksfail and Assad doesn’t turn overthe weapons, we start firing cruisemissiles at him (our current tar-gets). What does it mean if every-one agrees to turn over and de-stroy the weapons? We got whatwe really wanted. What if Assadheld some back in a hidden sup-ply and we found them? Now weare talking about a different situa-tion and the missiles are back ontable or launched at the target. Andon and on...
These questions and situationsare what our intelligence groupsare supposed to figure out. An-other question is, where did Assadget/buy the weapons? The easyanswers are Russia and Iran. Iran
may not have the capability to makesuch weapons. As we learned dur-ing the Iran-Iraq war, Iran boughtmost of its weapons from Russia.These weapons may have comethrough Iran, but ultimately, theycame from Russia. The harderanswers to find are if the Syriangovernment bought the weaponson the “open weapons market.”Then who knows? The weaponscould have been made by us, sto-len, and sent out of the country bysmugglers. It is probably easier tosmuggle something out of the coun-try than it is to smuggle it in.
This issue of Syria has and willbe a distraction issue, with thebudget and debt limit coming upon the agenda. When the pressuregets too great on one item, theadministration will drag out Syriato take our minds off of our wal-lets. Then when that gets too hot,we bounce back to money. And soit goes. Until next week.
Write HereRight Now
By Bob Schmidt
Who blinked?
I usually agree with columnswritten by Dick Morris, formertop advisor to Bill Clinton, butmore recently a consistent criticof President Obama. However, Ihad to take exception to his blogpost on September 10, entitled“Assad Blinks,” written immedi-ately after Russian PresidentVladimir Putin offered to brokera deal to keep the U.S. from launch-ing missiles at Syria in exchangefor Syria agreeing to put theirchemical arsenal under interna-tional control.
No one who knows anythingabout Soviet history (Putin has saidthat the breakup of the Soviet Unionwas the last century’s worst geo-political catastrophe) would be-lieve that Putin would propose thisdeal just out of the goodness ofhis heart. Even President Kennedy,who is credited with facing downNikita Khrushchev over the Cu-
ban missile crisis in 1962, waslater discovered to have cut a se-cret deal with Khrushchev to re-move Jupiter missiles from Tur-key in exchange for the Sovietspulling missiles out of Cuba.
Fox News national security ex-pert K.T. MacFarland has sug-gested that the cost for PresidentObama to accept the deal fromPutin will be twofold: 1) The U.S.must agree to no attacks on Syriawhile the chemical weapons ne-gotiations are going on, and 2)Iran gets a Russian missile de-fense system (S-300) that wouldprevent Israel or anyone else fromtaking out the Iranian nukes. Ifthis happens, any influence thatthe United States has in the MiddleEast will evaporate in one fellswoop. Further, Israel may as wellsay goodbye to their very exist-ence.
How did we get to such a pre-carious tipping point in world sta-bility? We got here because Presi-dent Obama stuck his foot in hismouth when he was campaigningfor his second term (“A red linefor me would be...”), and then laterstumbled and fumbled his waythrough the recent crisis after Assad
(allegedly) used chemical weap-ons on his own population. He(Obama) first declared that he hadthe authority to attack Syria with-out Congress’ approval, then laterdecided it would be better if hewent to Congress. Next, he saidthe “red line” was the world’s redline, not his, even though he couldnot even muster a minimal coali-tion to support him. Finally (todate), he asked Congress to post-pone its vote pending the outcomeof the Russian “lifeline.” Duringall this, Secretary of State JohnKerry (who also can’t seem to keephis foot out of his mouth) said thatany attack on Syria would be “un-believably small.” As a result ofall of these missteps and misstate-ments, we are now in a positionwhere Russia is about to becomethe dominant power in the MiddleEast.
Is this how great powers col-lapse? By “leading from behind”?By putting the entire country atrisk so that a naive, narcissisticpresident can save face? I hopemy analysis is wrong, but I don’tsee a good outcome for Americafrom this debacle.
God help America!
Busy summer?

Hello, again, Fun Seekers! Youmight remember me from algebraclass, or physics, or from manyoutstanding articles in this publi-cation, or perhaps at the scoringtable saying nice things to the crowdin the Goodhue gym.
I know it seems like a long timesince I wrote anything, and it hasbeen. But I have been quite busy.In June, I was holding down thefort by myself, while Gretel andDeb traveled to Ireland. And thatwas no piece of cake. I didn’t evenget to fish every day like I hadplanned! Then, with the normalsummer rain and heat, I was forcedto do more mowing, trimming, and
gardening than I had expected.August brought more fishing
time, but with the somewhat mis-erable 90+ degrees and the 80%humidity, I was again stifled inmy efforts to get out near the wa-ter. A highlight was the all-schoolreunion, which allowed me to seemany old friends and former stu-dents who came home for the cel-ebration. The two best stories camefrom Rod Jonas (about seven times)and Warren Retzlaff remember-ing the Good Old Days.
As September approached, myapple trees and tomato plants turnedall of my waking hours into har-vesting produce. Will it ever end?Probably not any time soon!
I’m not sure what I ever did tomark myself as needing to beabused by everyone AND MotherNature. I have always been SOcharming and nice to everyone,and will continue to do the same.
In any event, if you would all
take some time to feel sorry forme, you will soon forget that Iwas ever gone, and life can getback to normal. Whatever hap-pens, I am going fishing!

The Minnesota Marriage Equal-ity Act (MMEA) has been in ef-fect since August 1 and the Af-fordable Care Act (ACA) Em-ployer Notice is required by Oc-tober 1. The MMEA requires thatsame-gender spouses be offeredenrollment in employee coveredinsurance plans. The ACA noticerequires employers to inform em-ployees of the existence of a healthexchange program (Obamacare).
I’m expected, as an employer,to notify my employees of a healthexchange that even my insurance
provider can’t fully explain. Theimplications for my business andemployees are unclear at this latedate.
I spoke with one large employerwho is so afraid that the legisla-tion will drive his struggling busi-ness further into the red, that he issplitting his business into two sepa-rate corporations to avoid a fiftyplus employer health insurancemandate. Even for a small busi-ness owner, it is costly and timeconsuming to manage all govern-ment requirements.
Our country has rightfully pro-vided equal protection for the dis-advantaged. But people and busi-nesses adapt to changing environ-ments. If a business owner is afraidof the possibility of a discrimina-tion lawsuit (racial or sexual), theywill avoid the problem by not even
hiring anyone who is a possiblerisk.
Business owners would prob-ably be happiest selling or servic-ing their product. The responsi-bilities of a business are numer-ous. In addition to serving theircustomers, they have to managestaff, payroll, retirement accounts,healthcare, deadbeats, facilities,equipment, tax collection, and gov-ernment regulations. Businessesare ultimately used as the engineto run our country.
When they are forced to adaptto new legislation, don’t be sur-prised if there are unintended con-sequences due to the impact ontheir bottom line. We’ll see if theincentives to facilitate nationalhealthcare are embraced once weunderstand it.
Goodhue City Council continuesdiscussion of employee health insuranceBy Tara Chapa
GOODHUE – The GoodhueCity Council continued discussionon providing health insurance toall employees at the September11 meeting. Leia Ryan said she isconcerned about the liability thecity would take on if they did this.She also agreed with Mayor KerryBien that they do not want to losevaluable employees due to lack ofinsurance coverage for them aswell as their families.
City Clerk Lori Agre has doneextensive research on options toprovide insurance coverage. Op-tions include joining in a benefitpackage with City of Zumbrotaemployees; buying into their ownindependent plan; and putting thecost of a benefit plan from MNSureinto a Health Savings Account(HSA).
Employees could choose frommultiple levels of plans (gold, sil-ver, or platinum), with the costsvarying for each. The council sug-gested that it would be best to put
a cap on the plans an employeecan choose. MNSure cannot dis-criminate against anyone with pre-existing conditions. There can alsobe a tax credit available to the cityif they pay at least 50% ofemployee’s cost and if the em-ployee makes $50,000 or less. Cur-rently, Goodhue offers $1.25/hourto go toward health insurance costs,which equates to about $217 amonth.
No decisions were made at themeeting. Further discussion willtake place.New trash cans
Gibson Sanitation LLC,Goodhue’s trash collection ser-vice, would like to add new trashcans with lids and rollers to allhouseholds in Goodhue. Eachhousehold would be charged anadditional $2 on their monthly bill,one for actual trash and the otherfor recycling. In exchange for this,Gibson would maintain the samepricing for the next five years. Itwould cost Gibson at least $40,000
to purchase all trash cans. Coun-cil decided to table this issue forthe next meeting.Financial
There will be a public hearingon the 2014 budget on December11 at 6:30 p.m. Council did pass a2% rate that will be built into the2014 budget for street repair nextyear.
Refinancing the gas bond wasapproved, saving the city $87,000.Engineer updates
Broadway Street was scheduledto be completed by September 15.Crews have been working until 7or 8 p.m. to have the project com-pleted in time.GIS user agreement

The GIS users group serves as aforum for Goodhue County pub-lic and private entities to shareinformation, ideas, and strategiesusing geospatial data and to formstrategic partnerships to better usethis data to promote communityand economic developmentthroughout the region.

Education is rap-idly moving toward technologyand my business classes are a primeexample of this.”

By Alicia Hunt-WelchDuring the last month Cherie
Johnson, director of the GoodhueCounty Education District(GCED), has spoken to schoolboards at Kenyon-Wanamingo,Goodhue, Zumbrota-Mazeppa,Cannon Falls, and Red Wing abouta facility study and future needsof the GCED. Many students fromthese districts have learning dis-abilities, emotional behavior dis-orders, or other alternative educa-tion needs and receive their aca-demic instruction off-campus at aGCED school site. The questionJohnson posed to these districtswas – do we continue with whatwe have, consolidate at a currentsite and make improvements, orbuild a new site and consolidatethere? Costs for these three op-tions range from $10-17 million.
The Goodhue County Educa-tion District is a consortium offive districts that pool their re-
sources to serve students with spe-cial education needs. Programs areoffered in three primary leasedsites: Jefferson School in Red Wing(often referred to as Deer View),the Wastedo School located offCounty Road 9 and Highway 52in Leon Township, and RiversideSchool in Cannon Falls. Johnsonsaid the three facilities have servedthe GCED and its members ad-equately.
The GCED currently servesabout 100 students in these pro-grams. 17 are from the CannonFalls School District, two fromGoodhue, nine from KW, 48 fromRed Wing, two from ZM, and 17students are listed as “other.” Ofthose students about 50 attendedthe Jefferson site, 24 attended Riv-erside, and 21 attended Wastedo.
As these older buildings con-tinue to age, the number of de-ferred maintenance projects in-crease. Secondly, the number ofchildren with special education
needs continues to rise, makingfor inadequate educational spacefor some programs and insuffi-cient square footage for currentand future programming. Johnsonsaid this presents an immediatechallenge. To meet needs, anothersite is being leased this year. Inaddition, students from the fivedistricts are being transported backand forth to various sites, so thecost of transportation is huge. Thesefactors prompted the GCED toanalyze their options and the boarddetermined that a long range fa-cility plan should be developed.
Last fall, a facility committeewas formed and the group reviewedinitial data. At that time they rec-ommended that the GCED Boarduse an outside agency to completea study of options. Johnson saidthis initial study, phase one, wascompleted by Springsted Incor-porated of St. Paul, and phase twois in the works.
In phase one, key stakeholders
Goodhue County Education District weighs site optionswere interviewed; enrollment, fi-nance, program, service, staffing,and other data was gathered; trans-portation data was evaluated; spacewas analyzed for how it wouldimpact students and staff, and theeffects on construction costs andoperational costs; facilities and of-ferings in the three buildings wereevaluated for the possibility ofconsolidation and retrofitting; dif-ferent pieces of property wereevaluated in terms of infrastruc-ture, cost, location, constructabilityand city zoning; feasibility andcost effectiveness for a newly con-structed building site were evalu-ated; and the financing options andtax impact were considered.
In June, the phase one reportwas presented to the GCED Board.The initial study concluded that,if possible, GCED should consoli-
date into one site. The benefits ofdoing this would be seen in trans-portation, utility, and reduced main-tenance costs; efficiency in pro-gramming; reduced staffing costs;and lower tuition bills. The boardmotioned to move into phase twoand conduct an analysis of mov-ing operations under one roof.
During the 2011-12 school year,the GCED received 71.5% of itsfunding from the local and/orcounty level, with 1.2% comingfrom the state and 27.3% from thefederal level. In 2012, GCED re-ceived $501,870 from GoodhueCounty, and $172,732 in lease levycontributions from its five mem-ber districts.
Current deferred maintenancetotals $6.8 million. A project toaddress deferred maintenance oncurrent buildings and bringing the
sites up to today’s standards wouldcost about $10.8 million. To re-model and build an addition to theWastedo site was estimated at $13.5million. Constructing a new 60,000square foot facility would cost$14.5 million, and a new 70,000square foot facility was estimatedat $16.8 million.
Phase two of the report will beavailable this fall. After review,the GCED Board will vote on whichoption to pursue. Johnson said,“Options include staying with ourcurrent three sites and beginningneeded deferred maintenanceprojects, building near Red WingHigh School, or building on theWastedo site. Each member dis-trict board will need to vote, de-pending on the recommendationand its implications.” Johnsonhopes the GCED has a decisionby November.

THE CHURCH CORNER
Real red lineBy Pastor Gary BasinskiNew River Assembly of God
A lot of been said recently aboutthe “red line” that President Obamaset...or the world set, according tohim now. But what I want to ad-dress is something actually muchmore serious than anything ourpresident could ever say. That iswhat the God who created us hasalready said, and it is all writtendown in a book for all of us calledthe Bible. The issue that I want toaddress today is for pastors, fel-low believers, and everyone else.It is that too many times churchesdo not actually stick to what theBible says. We have lost that “redline” that all churches should befollowing, and replaced it withreligious traditions and a bunchof other nonsense that we cannotfind anywhere in scripture.
We all need to take a deep lookinto our lives and really see if thechurches we attend, the beliefs wehold onto, and the actions that webase our lives on really line upwith what the Bible actually says.We as Christians have totally for-gotten that we actually have a “redline” and we must repent and getback to that standard! I personallywant to apologize to everone whoreads this on behalf of churchesand pastors who have lied to youover and over again. In a variety
of different ways, church doesn’thave to be boring, there is more tolife than hoping you say the rightprayers and live a good enoughlife and barely squeak into heaven.You can actually have freedom,peace, and joy in your lives withthe knowledge that you can live ineternity in heaven.
But it takes repentance, turningfrom our sins and committing ourlives to Jesus Christ. But that isn’ttalked about anymore. What ispreached and taught is that as longas you get some water sprinkledon your head as a baby and some-one else says a prayer for you,you’re magically in the club and,bam, you’re going to heaven! Letme warn you, this does not saveyou and you cannot find it any-where in the Bible. The Bible hasto be our red line, and the basis ofeverything we do, from our fi-nances, to how we are as parents,to being a great spouse, and howwe treat our neighbors and co-workers. The Bible is what weturn to, not a denomination stanceor what society teaches us. I canpromise everyone this: if we juststick to the Bible and make thatour red line, this world, our state,and our community would be amuch better place. Abuse wouldgo away, all the bully problems atschool would be gone, and kids
wouldn’t have to worry aboutwhere their dinner is going to comefrom. Not to mention they wouldhave both a mom and a dad intheir lives to help teach and pre-pare them for the world we live in.The church has failed, people havefailed, I have failed, but we haveto make it a priority of saying,“No more.”
This is a challenge to all pas-tors, churches, deacons, elders, andcongregations, with myself andour church being the first one inline to make sure that our beliefsand teachings actually match upwith the Bible and the standardthat the God almighty has put inplace for us. I will not base my lifeon some tradition that started 1,000years ago and hope that they wereright. But instead I will stick tothe word of God and do every-thing I can to live the way Jesuswould want me to. To love theLord our God with everything wehave and love others as ourselves.Those are the two greatest com-mandments and we must begin tofollow them!
As always, if you have ques-tions or concerns please email meat [email protected]. Youcan also find me on Facebook andTwitter. God bless, and have agreat week!

WANAMINGO – Civil engi-neer Brandon Theobald of WHKSpresented a professional serviceagreement for managing the down-town water tower repair project atthe Wanamingo City Councilmeeting on September 9. In theagreement, which was approvedby the council, WHKS will be paid$9,200 for preparing plans andspecifications for work on the500,000-gallon water tower andfor well house piping improve-ments. They will also receive about$10,200 for overseeing the project,to be billed hourly.
In 2012, Theobald presented apreliminary engineering report tothe council outlining options foreither rehab or replacement of thesilver water tower off Main Street.The cost of a new water tower wasestimated at $600,000. The cheaperoption was to sandblast any peel-ing paint and recoat the currenttower for about $142,000.
Low interest financing is avail-able through a Minnesota RuralWater microloan program. Coun-cilors Jamie Majerus and JenniferBerquam asked if financing hadbeen approved and secured for thisproject. Mayor Ryan Holmes saidhe did not believe so. City Ad-ministrator Michael Boulton wasabsent from the meeting.
Approving a service agreementwith WHKS would mean the citywould be obligated to pay $9,200in fees for securing bids for theproject, even if the council de-cides not to move forward withaccepting bids or doing the project.
Berquam said she was ambiva-lent about moving forward withapproving a services agreementwithout approved financing for theproject. Councilor Danny Bensonsaid he thought Boulton said the
city needed to have an engineercontracted before applying for theloan.
A motion by Larry VanDe-Walker to approve the agreementwith WHKS carried 5-0.Cleanup request
A public hearing was held re-garding a cleanup request for DebDelva’s property on 3rd Avenue.The property, across the street fromthe elementary school, is still cov-ered with debris from a house firethat occurred many months ago.Delva had until September 9 toaddress the nuisance debris or thecity would hire a contractor toaddress the problem and chargethe expense to her property taxes.
Delva did not attend the publichearing but city clerk Jean Ruggsaid that Delva contacted the cityto say she had started with thenecessary cleanup and would ad-dress the issue.
The council carried a resolu-tion approving the abatement pro-cedure for the property.Public Works report
Public Works Director SteveHaggstrom said that during the lastmonth he and co-worker MontySchaefer spent time painting the logcabin at Riverside Park and cleanedthe drainage ditch by the elevator.A water line broke in the well houseand then a check valve stuck, creat-ing an overflow of water from thetower. Goodhue County Electriccame with a boom truck to checkthe warning siren, as it was not ro-tating. The pool was also drainedfor the season.
The council approved the fourthquarter maintenance work plan forthe city staff.Street closure approvedfor memorial dedication

Americana Showcase is coming to Pine IslandPINE ISLAND – The fall lineup
of the Americana Showcase willkick off in Pine Island on Thurs-day, September 26 at 7 p.m. at theOlde Pine Theater. Performersinclude Brandon Sampson, SallyBarris, Hugh Bob, and Elle Pol-lock in a traditional “songwritersin the round” format. Tickets canbe purchased at: Better Brew Cof-feehouse, the Rainbow Cafe, Hard-ware Hank, Borgy Boys, the OldePine Theatre, and online atwww.sixmilegrove.com.
The Americana Showcase be-gan seven years ago in Rochesterafter local musician BrandonSampson of the band Six MileGrove attended the national Ameri-cana Music Conference in Nash-ville, Tennessee. The Showcasespent two years growing an audi-ence at a small, now defunct bar,outgrew that space, and has beenpartnering with the Rochester CivicTheatre for the past five years.
Since moving to Pine Island three
years ago, Sampson has had hiseye on the Olde Pine Theatre, andthis year he and theatre owner TonyLove are happy to announce thatthe Americana Showcase will beoffering the same series in PineIsland as is offered in Rochester,Owatonna, and other neighboringcommunities.
“What we’ve found is that smallcommunities are often overlookedas epicenters for art and culture,”Sampson said. “After years of try-ing to break into the Minneapolismusic scene, we realized we shouldfocus a little closer to home— westarted as kids playing in smalltowns, and now that we have kids,we realize that smaller communi-ties are hungry for artful enter-tainment, and we are happy to fillthat void.”
This year the Americana Show-case is also expanding its missionto reach a broader demographicand create fresh connections be-tween young artists and music-
industry veterans. After manySaturday morning coffee chats atBetter Brew Coffeehouse withDoug Strandell, Pine Island HighSchool’s music teacher, Sampsonis partnering with the local schoolmusic program to bring touringartists into the school to share theirinsights and expertise onsongwriting, performing, and liv-ing an artist’s life. The September
showcase will bring Grammy-nominated artist Sally Barris tothe stage and the school. “It’s easyto get cynical working for decadesin the music industry,” said Barris,“but the more I connect with youngartists, the more inspired I am. Icouldn’t be more excited to beperforming and connecting withPine Islanders young and (less)young!”
