Benner, Holst, and Ibes will also work at the elementary school in Wanamingo. Among the new Kenyon-Wanamingo teachers who will work at the elementary school site in Wanamingo are, from left to right, Megan Sabrowsky, Jena Ellingson, and Sandy Sahl. By Alicia Hunt-Welch Many new staff members have been hired to teach at Kenyon- Wanamingo 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 Sep- tember 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 stand- up 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 nurs- ing,” she said. But after a year of college she decided it wasn’t 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 didn’t even realize it.” Sabrowsky earned her bachelor’s 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 impres- sion. 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 chil- dren that is displayed by the teach- ers in the school is amazing. The way staff work together to make it a safe, welcoming, and fun envi- ronment 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 class- room. When asked how KW School won’t be the same with her as a teacher, she said because “I am going to bring a new level of excitement, energy, and laugh- ter. 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 (“Let’s 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 bachelor’s in communications from Metropolitan State Univer- sity in 1999, and his master’s in teaching from the College of St. Scholastica in 2014. Reynolds’s father taught elemen- tary school for 35 years and his younger sister is also a teacher. He, however, went into commu- nications 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 wasn’t until I saw former students of my dad’s, some who hadn’t 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 dad’s desk when he taught. My mom and sis- ter gave it to me when I obtained my teaching license. It reminds me to stay true to myself as a per- son 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 com- munities,” he said. “I will com- mute this year from my home in South St. Paul, but I could defi- nitely 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. It’s where I acquired my love for the fish and lefse.” Reynolds’s 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 have two daughters: Natalie, 7, and Rachel, 5. Fun facts about Reynolds: His all-time favorite song is “My Life” by Billy Joel. He enjoys sports, coaching, theatre, cooking, and traveling. As a child Blair dreamed of being a quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. “Tommy Kramer had nothing on me,” he said. Jena Ellingson Second grade Born in Rochester, Jena Ellingson is a graduate of Hinckley- Finlayson High School. As a child she one day wanted to become a teacher or a nurse. She was influ- enced by her parents, both of whom were teachers. “I grew up in the classroom helping my parents whenever possible,” she said. Ellingson also had a teacher who was a big impact on her career choice. She said, “I had the best high school math teacher who made such an impact on all students. He always told everyone that they See KW teachers, page 5A ZM will participate in National School Climate Initiative By Alice Duschanek-Myers ZUMBROTA – At the Zum- brota-Mazeppa School Board meeting on August 24, K-6 prin- cipal Quinn Rasmussen reported that he recently attended an infor- mational meeting to prepare for the National School Climate Ini- tiative that the school will partici- pate 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 qual- ity and character of school life. It reflects norms, goals, expectations, and values. Safety, relationships, teaching and learning, the exter- nal environment, and organiza- tional patterns impact how stu- dents 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 achieve- ment increase. NSCC stresses that bullying has a negative effect on everyone, including the bully. Rasmussen said two schools from each of the education coop- eratives in Minnesota received grants for this school climate study from the NSCC. Zumbrota- Mazeppa and Spring Grove are representing the Southeast Service Cooperative. Mission statement amended The ZM School District mis- sion statement was revised to read, “Building a bridge to the future where all individuals have the opportunity to reach their full po- tential in a safe, challenging learn- ing environment.” Personnel Brian Grudem presented Bonnie Kronenberger with a plaque in- scribed, “In appreciation for her many years of service to the stu- dents and staff of the Zumbrota- Mazeppa Schools.” For many years she was an Alternative Learning Program (ALP) teacher from Goodhue County Education As- sociation (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 since about fourteen years ago were approved for the 2015-16 school year. The new staff include: David Anderson, high school/middle school principal; Tracy Agrimson, school readiness/preschool teacher; Jody Ayres, primary spe- cial education assistant; Alyssa Bangert, physical education; Megan Blair, GCED school psy- chologist; Joshua Boraas, social studies; Amanda Braithwaite, fourth grade; Tony Brown, Alter- native Learning Program; Shan- non Clemenson, school resource officer; Megan Ferguson, first grade; Brad Haugen, library/me- dia specialist; Khendra Johnson, art; Debbie Husbyn, alternative delivery of specialized instruction services (ADSIS); Carlene Lawler, ADSIS; Marnie Luke, third grade; Haley Mackin, primary special education; Julie Mertens, GCED English learners; Nicki Meyer, GCED/early childhood special education/ special ed; Mark Moran, math; Wendy O’Reilly, elemen- tary special ed assistant; Micayla Ryan, school readiness/preschool; Pamela Stehr, elementary media center assistant; Todd Stockmo, seventh grade boys basketball coach; Tory Swenson, GCED speech pathologist; Jordan Thomp- son, seventh grade football coach; and Daren Wingert, high school special ed assistant. Superinten- dent Gary Anger said, “We only have a little bit to go in special education.” The board accepted the resig- nations of Richard Tessler, social studies; Scott Boldt, elementary night custodian, effective on Au- gust 21; Shannon Johnson, sev- enth grade girls basketball coach; Todd Cordes, junior varsity base- ball coach; Josh Funk, seventh grade football/basketball coach; and Ben Hinrichs, eighth grade football coach. Vocational construction project Two bids were submitted for materials for this year’s vocational education construction house project. ABC Arrow Building Center of Red Wing bid $92,813.83. Pine Island Lumber bid $89,179.93. The school board awarded the bid to Pine Island Lumber. Other business The board approved leasing copiers from Tri-State Business Machines in Rochester and not renewing the lease with Excel. Superintendent Anger said, “We will save thousands of dollars each year.” Twelve-week childcare leaves were approved for Micayla Ryan, beginning November 21, and Stephanie Foss, beginning Novem- ber 27. The board approved the reduc- tion of Jill Forrey as extra middle/ high school office secretarial staff. Anger said, “This is not perfor- mance related. It is the result of administrative restructuring.” Teaching overloads were ap- proved for Angela Heitmann, Ashley Buchhholz, Mary Post, and Patricia Steffes. Anger said, “We have reduced the overloads. This is the smallest number in years.” The board approved a third year of Chrystine Haferman and Annie the therapy dog continuing to work with students on reading in the special education resource room.

This practice would make Mengele proud
Consider the following two pas-sages regarding unborn children:
“For you created my inmostbeing; you knit me together in mymother’s womb.
“I praise you because I am fear-fully and wonderfully made; yourworks are wonderful, I know that
full well.“My frame was not hidden from
you when I was made in the secretplace, when I was woven togetherin the depths of the earth.
“Your eyes saw my unformedbody; all the days ordained for mewere written in your book beforeone of them came to be.”
That is from Psalm 139, NewEnglish Version. The second isfrom an undercover interview withStemExpress Founder and CEOCatherine Dyer:
“It’s so fragile. It’s insanely frag-
ile. And I don’t even know—...Iknow we get requests for neural;It’s the hardest thing in the worldto ship....And we’ve actually hadgood success with that [shippingthe whole head intact].”
Here Dyer is describing howshe harvests human body parts fromaborted babies and ships them toresearchers. This is the ghoulishbusiness that StemExpress is inpartnership with along withPlanned Parenthood, who providesthe “specimens,” many of themintact, and some even alive whenthey leave the womb.
Dr. Josef Mengele was “TheAngel of Death” at Auschwitzduring World War II who torturedand killed hundreds of thousandsof prisoners experimenting on themin his quest for a super Aryan race.When news of this ghastly prac-tice by Planned Parenthood firstcame to light several weeks ago,Mengele immediately leaped intomy mind. What he did was nobetter, nor worse than what PlannedParenthood is doing today. Theonly difference is that today themurderers and researchers laun-der the specimens through com-panies like StemExpress.
Of course, Planned Parenthooddenies any wrongdoing. They evenclaim that the undercover videosare edited fabrications, but theyhave been caught red-handed. Andwhat of our gutless lawmakers?In the face of this evidence, theycould not even find the courage todefund Planned Parenthood.
The time has come, readers, totake a stand for the unborn. Doyou believe that the unborn childis “fearfully and wonderfullymade,” or do you align with theexperimental specimen viewpointespoused by Catherine Dyer? Thereis little if any in the way of middleground. Planned Parenthood andtheir horrific business have madethat perfectly clear.
On a personal note, I will con-tinue to write provocative andcontroversial columns. I’m re-turning from a self-imposed sab-batical after accepting a reprimandfor submitting a column that wasdeemed to be “over the top.” Ireadily admit that there are cer-tain words that should not be usedin the print media, and I will bemore judicious in the future. Tothat point, though, did you see theQuinnipiac poll results regardingthe one word most likely to de-scribe Hillary Clinton? You’ll haveto look it up.
God bless America!

Savvy shopping
If I had a penny for every timesomeone asked me where I getmy plant materials, the gardenwould be self-supporting. And theanswer would still be, “every-where.” There isn’t any part ofthe world we’ve traveled that hasn’tprovided some living treasure. Butif you want to purchase plants foryour own garden, I’d recommendfinding the place that suits yourgardening skills.
Personally owned and operatednurseries like Joel’s, Jenny’s, orDonahue’s offer people who knowtheir plants and how to grow them.They are a treasure store of knowl-edge, tips, and advice. If you have
questions, they provide answers.Big box stores like Lowe’s,
Home Depot, and Walmart are forbargain hunters who don’t needhelp, are willing to read tags, andwho get to the store the morningof plant delivery. You keep saleslips and are willing to return deadplants as needed.
Catalogs are often a source ofexotic, unusual, or hard to findspecialty plants. They tend to of-fer newer varieties with descrip-tions including agricultural zones,light requirements, and specialneeds. Prices vary but shippingcharges are the norm. Unfortu-nately plant quality is hard to de-termine until you get it in the mail,and returns are bothersome.
Plant sales sponsored by gar-den clubs, arboretums, botanicalgardens, etc. are excellent sourcesof unusual homegrown treasures.Transporting them home is some-times a problem unless you have a
car, know which states requirehealth certification, and are cer-tain the plants aren’t protected.California and Hawaii are verystrict about transporting live plantsacross state lines.
Farmer’s Markets are fun butsometimes risky places to findthings for one’s garden. A dis-eased plant can be a costly head-ache when it spreads. Quarantineworks by keeping it in the pot ratherthan in the garden proper. It’s morework, but it’s safer. Even plantsfrom a friend’s garden should bewatched for signs of disease.
The places you should NOTobtain plant materials are stateparks, forests, prairies, and otherwilderness locations. Unless youhave the exact same conditions athome, the plant you snatch willprobably not survive. Furthermore,taking wild or protected plants isillegal. The same applies to tak-ing cuttings.
Comments to GoodhueSchool Board misreportedTo the Editor:
In last week’s paper my com-ments to the Goodhue SchoolBoard were misreported and mytalking points misrepresented.
I presented the national readingscores for fourth-graders readingat or above grade level from theyears 1992 (28%), 2003 (32%),and 2013 (35%). It was reportedthat the scores I presented wereGoodhue’s reading scores. For2015, I presented just Goodhue’sscores (46.8%) that were releasedin The Republican Eagle this sum-mer. I used this data to highlightthat kids all over this nation arestill struggling in reading, kids havebeen struggling for 23 years, andif we continue to make progress ata 7% rate every 23 years we willnever reach our goal of 100% read-ing mastery for all kids.
This data was also used to high-light that we are living in a lit-eracy crisis, and it is going to takedoing something different to turnthese numbers around. Goodhueis not alone. Apply this same 7%growth rate to any of the areaschool’s reading scores, and notone will have reached readingmastery in 2038. I approached my
community because I believe theytoo hold the same goal of obtain-ing 100% reading mastery withall children they educate, not toundermine the work they are al-ready doing to reach this goal.
The second part I presented wassome new knowledge I believewill help all educators and par-ents teaching reading. This sum-mer I was trained as a MasterTeacher Trainer in the Logic ofEnglish (www.logicofenglish.com) written by Denise Eide ofRochester. Eide began the researchand curriculum writing process fiveyears ago when her twin boys werenot succeeding in their reading cur-riculum at home. As a trainedEnglish as a second language edu-cator, she couldn’t figure out whyher methods were failing her ownchildren. Her story as an educa-tor echoes that of many other edu-cators’ stories I heard this sum-mer. Teachers who just completedtheir master’s degrees, literacyspecialists, and special educationteachers all sat in the same roomwith me and said, “Why wasn’t Iever given this information?”
The real truth behind thestruggles our children are facing
is that we can’t teach what wedon’t know and we can’t learnwhat we’ve never been taught. Eideis working to change this by mak-ing the Orton-Gillingham methodof teaching reading accessible toeveryone; methods that are typi-cally reserved for specialized read-ing centers. I think we are all in-terested in changing our literacyrates, and we are only going to doit by working together, steppingoutside our comfort zones, andtrying something new.

FromDevil’sKitchenBy Jan David Fisher
County government
What do you do when sanityfinally prevails and destroys youridea? Using the News-Record ar-ticle about the Goodhue CountyBoard, I initially wrote a blister-ing column about the way the boardhandled the winning of a grant.According to the Rochester Post-Bulletin, at a subsequent meetingthe board reconsidered the reso-lution and passed it. The follow-ing paragraph was my originalopening:
“County politicians are no bet-ter or worse than any other politi-cians, they just seem more vis-ible. I am going to make a bigassumption about the GoodhueCounty Board. The article in theNews-Record of August 26 seemedridiculous. The process of win-ning a grant is one that takes time
and effort. This grant was pro-posed to the board a year ago andwas approved to apply for thegrant.”
I was referring to the board vot-ing not to accept the grant fromthe Department of Homeland Se-curity for the purchase of a BearCatarmored vehicle to replace thecounty’s current 1980 Peace-keeper.
The Goodhue County Boarddecided to reconsider the resolu-tion and accept the grant. The end-ing of my first column was aboutparliamentary procedures. In theby-laws of an organization, thisstatement might appear, “Meet-ings will be run according toRobert’s Rules of Order.” Somemight ask, “What’s that?” Othersmay reply, “I think I know whatthat means!” Finally, a group says,“I know what that means and it isgood.”
Robert’s Rules of Order definethe kinds of motions and their pri-ority of presentation. It also de-fines the correct wording of mo-tions and resolutions. The rulesstandardize the running of meet-
ings, make the meetings more ef-ficient, and keep the meetingsmoving forward. Motions and reso-lutions are different “beasts” ofthe rules. A motion requires anaction to be agreed upon by thecommittee/board. A resolution isa formal recognition of an “event.”Motions are discussed and votedon usually by a voice vote – “Allin favor say aye, all opposed saynay.” Voting may be restricted toa roll call where the secretary callsthe roll of the group and recordseach vote. Motions can either passor fail.
Resolutions are different. A reso-lution is recognition of an eventsuch as winning a grant, receiv-ing a gift, etc. Unless the gift hasan unexpected requirement thatgoes against the group, gifts areaccepted by resolution. Unlesssomething is really wrong, reso-lutions rarely fail. Maybe whatthe Goodhue County Board needsis a few hours of training on par-liamentary procedures which anyToastmaster can provide. Until nextweek.
Back-to-school lunchPublisher’s
NotebookBy Pete Grimsrud
Kids are going back to schoolnext week and will rejoin friend-ships, daily structure, sports, home-work, and school lunch. Beingexposed to students (big and small)this summer from different dis-tricts, I’ve learned that school lunchhas never been more hated thantoday.
I’ll not pretend that school lunchwas ever considered good or nearlyas good as mom’s cooking, snacks,or fast food, but Michelle Obama’snational school lunch mandate tocombat obesity and help agricul-ture has school lunch at a new low
with students.Apparently, extra peanut butter
sandwiches are off the menu ifstudents are still hungry after eat-ing the served dish. I’m told syrup,which makes everything better forsome kids, is off the menu.Ballplayers complain that theydon’t receive enough to eat frombreakfast and school lunch to makeit through a difficult practice.
One study found food trash up56%, with healthy foods platedmore but eaten less than beforethe program was enacted. A sec-ond study reports that vegetablesare dumped 60-75% of the time.
A program of healthy foods andexercise is admirable, but the man-date is running into the same prob-lem every parent navigates whenfixing a healthy meal for their fam-ily.
However, parents can make their
children sit at the table until theyfinish their plate of unwanted foodor they can serve healthy foods oftheir kids’ liking. Parents mightexpand kids’ preferences as theyage by pairing caramel dip withapple slices or parmesan with greenbeans.
Schools can teach children abouthealthy food choices, but it’s dif-ficult to enforce those choices otherthan letting kids go hungry. Les-sons of waste — “starving chil-dren in Africa” — are hard taughtat home and nearly impossible atschool.
What kids’ know is that schoollunches “suck,” they’re not goingto eat it, and they’re not gettingthrough the day. Parents and theirkids can (and maybe should) adapt,but it’s another well-intentionedObama mandate that’s not work-ing as intended.

Zumbrota-Mazeppa Homecomingtailgate party makes a comebackBy Alice Duschanek-Myers
ZUMBROTA – On August 24,the Zumbrota-Mazeppa SchoolBoard approved the student
council’s request to bring back thehomecoming tailgate party priorto the football game on Septem-ber 25. Dawn Guse, the student
council advisor, discussed the stu-dents’ plans for tailgating.
The student council hopes toget the entire student body, notjust football players, and the com-munity involved in homecomingthis year. They are planning tooffer to decorate stores and busi-nesses, and possibly encourage thestores to have homecoming spe-cials.
Guse said Brian Wright fromthe food service will help themwith the tailgate party. They areconsidering applying for a $500beef grant in Goodhue County forthe event. They also plan to con-tact the Wabasha Dairy Associa-tion to include both counties.
Guse said, “We are not doingthis as a fundraiser. I just hope tobreak even. It is difficult to esti-mate how many will come, butthe grades 7-12 players and par-ents alone are about 100 people.We are trying to get involvementfrom the other school organiza-tions to come in with us.”
The student council plans toserve hamburgers and bratwursts.Most likely, people would go tothe concession stand for bever-ages. The stand would need to openearlier. The tailgate party wouldbe at the elementary playgroundand end at 6:30 p.m. to avoid con-flicts with sales at the stand and tobe ready for the game.
Guse is working with the stu-dent council to find ways to getmore alumni to return to partici-pate in the 2015-16 HomecomingWeek.
Tina Basinski, at her new studio, is with a photo of a newborn she tookas one of her projects for Tina Mae Photography.
By Tawny MichelsZUMBROTA – Tina Johnson
Basinski of Zumbrota has openeda new Tina Mae Photography stu-dio in the basement of BeeLightedat 266 Main Street. Her studio waspreviously located in a back roomat Luya. “The business just kindof outgrew the room I had avail-able to me,” Basinski said.
Tina Mae Photography gotstarted about four and half yearsago when Basinski’s husbandbought her a DSLR camera forher birthday. “I am the type ofperson where if I am going to dosomething, I am going to be thebest I can,” she said. She has beenstudying the craft on her own as astay-at-home mom and perfect-ing her craft along the way.
She started out doing photoshoots outdoors and then insideher home during the colder months
or for newborns. She said that itjust wasn’t working anymore withher own kids running around andhaving such a limited space. Thatis when she sought out her firststudio a few short months ago inLuya.
Basinski said she didn’t expectthe business to grow like this. Shelooked around the studio comment-ing on how it still isn’t a dreamstudio, but it really is a dream cometrue for her. “This was just a thingto do and still allow me to be astay-at-home home for my kids,”she said.
Tina Mae Photography special-izes in newborn photography, butshe also does child and familyphotography depending on herschedule. She books all her photoshoots through her website:www.tinamaephoto. com.

Wanamingo
Photo by Alicia Hunt-WelchKenyon-Wanamingo School administrators, from left to right, Matt Ryan, Jeff Pesta, and Katy Schuerman areexcited to embark on new roles in the district. Ryan will serve as principal for grades 7-12, Pesta assuperintendent, and Schuerman as principal for kindergarten through sixth grade.
By Alicia Hunt-WelchWANAMINGO – As the school
year begins, three administratorswill be taking on new roles atKenyon-Wanamingo. Veteranstaff member Matt Ryan will beassuming the principal duties atthe high school, rookie districtleader Jeff Pesta is taking his seatin the superintendent’s office, andnewbie principal Katy Schuermanis primed and ready for the chal-lenges of leadership in the elemen-tary.
This team of administrators havebeen working closely to achievehigh standards set for themselvesand for the district. Ryan said, “I’mas excited and energized about theupcoming school year as I can everremember being, and much of thatis due to the admin team that I ampart of.”Katy Schuerman
Katy Schuerman was hired thissummer to serve as the K-6 prin-cipal for the district. This will beher first year as a principal, andshe brings with her a great deal ofenthusiasm for the new position,in addition to her 23 years of ex-perience with Spanish immersionin schools. She will split her timebetween the Wanamingo andKenyon sites.
Superintendent Pesta said, “Katyrose to the top of a strong list ofcandidates for elementary schoolprincipal within the staff screen-ing committee, before the final-ists were brought to me. I wasfamiliar with her outstandingrecord of accomplishment as ateacher leader in Northfield...Fromthe moment she accepted our of-fer, she has reinforced our deci-sion, and the students and fami-lies in KW will see why for them-selves this fall.”
In finishing the sentence “KWSchools will never be the samebecause I am going to…”Schuerman said, “...empowerteachers to deliver the highest levelof instruction possible and part-ner with families and teachers tocreate a safe environment focused
on learning.”Ryan said, “It has been great
working with and getting to knowKaty this summer. When we startedthe hiring process for a new prin-cipal last spring, the goal was toadd a great person to our adminis-trative team. I’m confident we’vedone that with the addition of Katy.”
Born in Shakopee, Schuermanis a graduate of Worthington HighSchool, St. Cloud State Univer-sity, and the University of St. Tho-mas. She said, “I am very muchenjoying getting to know Matt andJeff… I feel lucky to be part ofsuch a great team!”
Fun fact about Schuerman: herfavorite song is by 4 Non Blondes.Matt Ryan
After ten years serving as anelementary school teacher and thelast five years as K-6 principal,Matt Ryan is moving into the roleof grades 7-12 principal.
Pesta said, “Throughout my timein KW, Matt has been a rock-steadysource of support and organiza-tional knowledge. As we workedthrough the challenges of identi-fying the next principal for theKW secondary schools, it becameincreasingly obvious that the bestcandidate was already in the dis-trict. The question of ‘Who will
guide the Kenyon campus into thenext era?’ has gone from my big-gest concern to my least.”
In answer to the question abouthow KW School will never be thesame, Ryan said, “I am going towork hard on providing consis-tent and positive leadership forstudents, staff, and families thatwill help KW continue towardexcellence… a place where fami-lies are proud to send their stu-dents to school each day, and aplace where staff enjoy working,and a place where students takepride in the high school they areinvested in.”
Schuerman said, “Matt has beenpatient and helpful in teaching methe ropes at KW. He models greatcommunication skills and has cre-ated a wonderful, collaborativeenvironment at the elementaryschool.”
Born in Rochester and a gradu-ate of Zumbrota-Mazeppa HighSchool, Ryan earned his bachelor’sdegree at St. John’s University,his master’s degree at Winona StateUniversity, and his principal li-censure at St. Mary’s University.He and his wife Molly (employedby AgStar) have three children atKW: Tyler is in ninth grade, Brianain seventh, and Rachel in fourth.
He is a big sports fan and roots forall the professional Minnesotateams. He loves coaching wres-tling, playing golf (even when hechokes), and fishing as much aspossible.

Cherry Grove Busy GophersBy Kate Rechtzigel
The Goodhue County Fair washeld August 10-16 at the fair-grounds in Zumbrota, but prep-ping for it came long before thatfor all of the 4-H families. I hadbeen planning on taking my Jer-sey heifer and seven year old cowfor the past year, but sadly whenJune came around my cow got abad case of mastitis. That is aninflammation in the the udder thatcauses the cow’s milk to becomeclumpy, so it cannot be sold. Mydad had told me for weeks aftershe got it, that she would get overit in time for the fair. I was stillworried because earlier in the yearwe had to kill all of the milk in oneof her back teats, because it wasso badly infected. So, for the longesttime I just forgot about her andtrained my heifer, who actuallywalked really well. But, the Fri-day before we had to bring theanimals in, my dad checked herwith the California Mastitis Test(CMT) and she was still not good.Then it hit me that I would not betaking her, so sadly I moved onand worried about getting my heiferand my steer ready.
A week before the fair started,Markus and I brought our steershome. We trained them everyday,pulling them behind the tractor
with a cultivator that our neigh-bors turned into a steer hook-up afew years ago. We ended up nam-ing our steers, Stump, the pureHolstein, and Prince, the cross-bred who was at the fair. Stumpwas Markus’s. The fun part wasthat he hated to walk and the firstday of the fair, he wouldn’t evenget on the trailer. After we gotthem to walk good, we took themover to the shoot and gave themeach a nice haircut, where all wedid, was cut the hair off their heads.I also had to give my heifer a hair-cut. Kira Quam came over forthat with her tiny heifer, and webasically just shaved all of theirhair off except for the belly andthe top line, which I ended up giv-ing up on and shaved it off the dayof show anyway.
Once we got to the fair, though,things were much different. I gota blue on my wildflowers which Iplanted in a pot that I recreatedfrom the 1800s a blue on my calfwarming box, which was by farthe biggest shop project there; anda red on my project on mastitis.Markus got a red on his gate. OnWednesday, we showed the steersand I got a red and second place oftwo in the lightweight crossbredclass. He weighed 1050 and KaylaKnott ended up winning that class.Markus got a blue and fifth place
4-Hon his purebred Holstein thatweighed 1240.
On Friday, I showed my heiferand got a red and a third of three inmy class. The judge said that shedidn’t have good balance. But, Igot called back for showmanshipand the judge said that I needed toclip her finer and fluff up her tailmore.
On Saturday, we had the auc-tion and I got $550 for my steerwhich was bought by AgStar,Markus got $950 for his whichwas bought by Isaacson Imple-ment.
In other club news, Kira Quamshowed Pleasure in the horse showon August 9 and was awarded atrip to the State 4-H Horse Showon September 17-21. She also gotin the State Fair lineup for bothdairy and pigs. Emily Pliscott wonboth of her classes with her goatsand got champion lightweightmarket wether at the State Fair.Her brother, Michael Pliscott gotthird in his class at the county fair.
The next meeting should be thefirst weekend in September at DaleChurch at 7 p.m., unless some-thing changes. If you want to join,either come to the meeting or emailme at [email protected] I will let you know when themeeting is.

GoodhueGoodhue works to completetwo major construction projectsBy R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE – The GoodhueCity Council met on Wednesday,August 26, and discussed two con-struction projects that are beingcompleted.
City engineer Andy Brandelreported on finishing the swim-ming pool. He suggested that thecity pay Maertens-Brenny for theirwork minus $41,150 to be helduntil the punch list items are com-pleted.
The city could not come to anagreement on the final paymentto Fitzgerald Trucking and Exca-vating Inc. for their work on theThird Street project. There arespecial charges of about $18,000for work that was not performedunder the contract that the City ofGoodhue completed. And there areliquidated charges of $26,400 forfailing to complete the job as sched-uled.
Much discussion was held onthe merits of the liquidated charges,and a consensus could not bereached. A committee of JohnAdams, Leia Ryan, and AndyBrandel was appointed to meetwith Fitzgerald to try and avoidlegal action. The council voted totable a decision until a later coun-cil meeting.2016 budget
The council could not finishapproval of the 2016 budget be-fore the city gets more exact num-bers for employee healthinsurance. The current numberswould include the city paying 100%of the cost of the employees’ in-surance and 50% of the cost forfamily members.
Tia Schimek said, “Offeringhealth insurance is the right thingto do for our employees.”
The committee of Schimek,Wayne Hahn, and Lori Agre willmeet to get actual dollar costs forthe insurance before the next meet-ing.Other business
The council approved a vari-ance of 20 feet rather than 30 feet
from a boulevard for a home be-ing built by Mitch and JessLindholm. A six foot highchainlink fence for Jeff Babbittwas also approved, as long as it iswithin accordance with setbacks.
The council voted to move theSeptember 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 becompleted by September 1.
A discussion was held on themerits of having trees growingin the sidewalk in downtownGoodhue. And public works di-rector Steve Voth was asked toclean the leaves from the street.

Q: I heard about a 57-inch muskierecently caught on Lake Vermil-ion. What makes the lake producetrophy fish like that?
A: Lake Vermilion, along witha number of other Minnesota lakes,was first stocked with Leech Lake-strain muskies in the late 1980s.We’ve seen some very large fishcaught in recent years as a result.Lake Vermilion has abundanttullibee (also known as cisco),which provide a high-energy foodsource for big muskies, northernpike and walleye.
In addition to good forage and
good genetics, Minnesota muskieshave benefited from a strong catch-and-release ethic among anglers.Plus, progressively larger mini-mum size regulations (now 54inches) have resulted in more tro-phy muskies statewide. On LakeVermilion, most big muskies arecaught by anglers who specificallytarget them. They have the rightequipment to safely land and re-lease these fish, leaving t hemuskies to grow larger and becaught again.

Pastor Margaret (Marggi) Pleiss-Sippola is the new senior pastor atUnited Redeemer Lutheran Church. Her first day with the congregationwas July 29 and her first worship was August 2.
By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA – Margaret Pleiss-
Sippola was recently called to serveas the senior pastor at United Re-deemer Lutheran Church (URLC).She began July 29, conducting herfirst Sunday service with the con-gregation on August 2. The tworegular Sunday services were com-bined for the summer outdoor ser-vice with a “meet and greet” timeand light brunch following.
During her nearly 25 years inthe ministry, “Pastor Marggi” orjust “Marggi” (pronounced MARas in “car” and GEE as in “key”),as she prefers to be called, hasserved several Minnesota congre-gations, most recently at GustavusAdolphus Lutheran in Minneapo-lis where she was solo pastor. Inaddition to other metropolitancongregations, Pastor Marggi hasserved outstate locations includ-ing churches in Duluth and in south-eastern Minnesota in Adams.
Marggi and her husband, DavidSippola, have two adult children.Ben currently lives in New Zealandwhere he is a coach with the Ole’Soccer Academy and a fly-fish-ing enthusiast. Their daughterMcKinzie recently completedmassage therapy studies in CostaRica and is living and working inMinneapolis. David is a physicaltherapist working in St. Paul. Thecouple currently lives in Northfield.Since changing her commute toZumbrota rather than Minneapo-lis, Pastor Marggi said she findsher new rural commute to be muchmore beautiful than the previousroute on Highway 35W.
Although she was happy atGustavus Adolphus in Minneapo-lis, in speaking of her decision tocome to Zumbrota, Marggi para-phrased from a book she recentlyread, titled “The Road to Charac-ter” by David Brooks, saying“whenever a door opens, I alwayswalk through it.” Her first sermonat URLC, with a theme of adven-ture, spoke of her passion for life,
serving others, and adventure.After completing her bachelor
of arts degree from Luther Col-lege, majoring in elementary edu-cation and theatre, Marggi taughtfor two years, including in Papua,New Guinea. It was while she wasworking as a youth director inDuluth that she decided to go intothe ministry. “I hadn’t seen awoman pastor in my life; it neverdawned on me that a female couldbe a pastor,” she said. She subse-quently completed her Master ofDivinity at Wartburg TheologicalSeminary and also obtained herDoctor of Ministry through theUniversity of Dubuque Theologi-cal Seminary/Wartburg Seminary.
Pastor Marggi has maintainedan active pace during her shorttime with URLC. Bible school wasin session the week she arrived.She said kids are one of the favor-ite parts of her ministry and “theydid not disappoint. They just drawyou in.” Her large hand puppets
have not only been enjoyed buthave also provided a learning timefor the kids during her children’ssermons, and for the adults in thecongregation. After meeting Pas-tor Marggi and attending a ser-vice conducted by her, EmilyHaugen, high school freshman,said, “It is good to hear more laugh-ter in our church again.”
Dennis Larson, a church coun-cil member and congregationalpresident since January, said, “Thecall committee did an outstand-ing job,” referring to presentingPastor Marggi as a candidate forthe senior pastor position. “PastorMarggi hit the road running. Shehas been great about getting outand meeting not only with con-gregational members but also inthe community. She told us she‘came here to work with us, notfor us.’”
The URLC Welcome Team hasassisted Pastor Marggi with in-troductions as she meets with
members, participates in churchcommittee meetings, and makesvisits to the downtown area. DaveDahlen, call committee chairper-son, also agreed with Larson’sassessment of Pastor Marggi’sability. “The call committee wascomprised of a diverse member-ship. We interviewed several can-didates, and our choice of PastorMarggi was unanimous. She bringsan unbridled enthusiasm to herservices and makes her sermonsmemorable. She is able to easilyconnect with large groups by mak-ing you feel like she is having aconversation with you over a simplecup of coffee.”
When asked for an example ofsomething people should knowabout her, Pastor Marggi replied,“I absolutely love life and I trea-sure that gift of life in everyone.One should never take the gift oflife for granted.” She wants to sharethat gift with others. When askedabout her goals for the church shereplied, “To be an incredibly,welcoming place and life-giving.Our Christian faith is about livingand is joyous. We can truly enjoyour time together learning.”
Pastor Marggi has made sev-eral journeys to Guatemala to workon projects and “to enjoy thepeople.” She is already conduct-ing meetings, and making plansfor another trip in February, 2016.
URLC is a congregation of theEvangelical Lutheran Church ofAmerica (ELCA). The fall sched-ule begins with Rally Sunday,September 13 with Sunday Schoolregistration and kick-off at 9:30a.m. followed by a single serviceat 10:30 a.m. A potluck meal willfollow. The church is located at560 West 3rd Street.
Pastor Marggi’s installation ser-vices will be on September 20 whenthe regular fall schedule resumeswith 8:00 and 10:30 services. Fel-lowship and education time forall ages is between services at 9:15September through May.

The Cougars fell behind 9-1 in
the opening game, but they ral-lied to get as close 16-13 beforefalling 25-16. They lost the sec-ond game by the same score, butthey rallied for a 28-26 win in thethird game. ZM led 24-19 in thethird game before the Saints tiedthe score at 26. After winning the
Panther cheerleading is back
The Pine Island Panthers have a cheerleading squad for the first time in eight years. Team members are, fromleft to right, front row: Beam Jarwatsii, Kayla Anderson, Carolyn Kittleson, Tori Toft, and Emily Nielsen; backrow: Dani Hale, Morgan Brehmer, Madison House, Miranda Hawkinson, Sydney Lenz, and Brianna Fohrman.Not pictured: Adrianna Swarthout, Kylie Locke, and Garrett Leland.
By Audra DePestelPINE ISLAND – The Pine Is-
land Panther cheerleaders are backafter being gone for close to eightyears. Coaching the new cheer teamis Tracy Bauer, who is also anelementary teacher at Pine IslandSchool. The team held its first prac-tice on August 4 at Rachel D’sstudio in Pine Island.
The cheering squad consists offourteen students in grades 10-12:Madison House, MirandaHawkinson, Emily Nielsen, Adri-anna Swarthout, Kylie Locke,Sydney Lenz, Kayla Anderson,Morgan Brehmer, Brianna Fohr-man, Tori Toft, Carolyn Kittle-son, Beam Jarwatsii, Dani Hale,and Garrett Leland (Panther mas-cot).
With only a few practices un-der their belts the cheerleaders werenervous and excited to show theirschool spirit at the first footballgame of the season on Saturday,August 22, when Pine Island facedLake City.
The comeback of the cheer teamwas initiated after a significantamount of suggestions were en-tered into the school suggestionboxes. The school then ran a sur-vey to see if students were inter-ested, and the response was wellreceived. From there Bauer tookon the responsibilities of coach-ing the team and spent her sum-mer going to cheerleading train-ing in St. Cloud.
Dressed in retro style with twodifferent uniform designs that theyfound from a few years back, thecheerleaders are performing sometraditional Panther cheers alongwith a mix of ones suggested bySydney Lenz, who was a cheer-leader at her previous school, andothers that the girls have been cre-ating and making up on theirown. Deb Berg, a longtime coachin Zumbrota, has helped a few timesduring practice sessions. DarcyGoplen (nee Moyer), a formercheerleader and 1988 graduate ofPine Island, has also helped withteaching the new team some ofthe traditional cheers that they usedto do. The cheer team and CoachBauer have very much appreci-ated the support they have receivedfrom the community.
Bauer said that since the schoolis still under construction findinga place to hold their practices wasa major concern, so she was gratefulto Rachel Douglas for letting themuse her dance studio for now. Shealso was glad that Berg and Goplenwere able to help out, as this is alearning experience not only forthe cheering squad but for her aswell.
For now, the cheer team is con-sidered to be more of a club than asport, but Bauer is working onmaking it possible for the cheer-leaders to be able to letter as theywould in other sports. But letters
