Portions of the Elk Run interchange open By R.D. Aaland GOODHUE – For nearly two years, the Goodhue School Cen- tennial Committee has been work- ing to make the weekend of Au- gust 17-18 a huge success. Ray McNamara headed the nine-per- son committee that consisted of Bonnie Dicke, Yvonne Raasch, Marilyn Lensch, Diane Ringeisen, Kathy Thomforde, Ray Mc- Namara, Rocky Ramboldt, Shan- non Dicke, and Ed McNamara. They addressed and stuffed 2,850 envelopes, than stamped and sorted them. A ceremony was held to commemorate 100 years of Goodhue School education on August 17. Tim McNamara, class of 1973, was the master of ceremonies and he introduced every speaker. At 1:30 p.m. the all-alumni choir, ac- companied by Susan (Fossum) Sands (class of ‘64), sang the “Star Spangled Banner.” Then the all- alumni band, under the direction of Kim Lundak (‘94), played “The Notre Dame Victory March.” Mark Opsahl (‘87) gave open- ing remarks. He covered changes in education from the 1980s to 2013. When he was in school, the teacher used chalk to write on a blackboard. Then they switched to a green board and then pro- gressed to the white board. And now it is the Smart Board. He was proud of the fact that Goodhue kids are always on their best be- havior. In parting he said, “It is not how good the building looks, it is the results of your actions.” Patsy (Ryan) Carlson (‘56) spoke next. She started by saying she has permission to use more than the allotted five minutes. She spoke of school in the 1940s and ‘50s. She remembered the smell of copy- ing, the sand box with wooden clothes pins for toys, and getting shots. She participated in GAA (Girls Athletic Association) al- though she said it should have been GA, for there was nothing ath- letic about it. She said she felt she was representing Goodhue when she went to college, and this kept her motivated. Her final statement was, “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” Chuck Schwartau (‘67) remem- bered hanging out at the old hotel and shooting pool at the Dugout. Foreign events were part of going to school in the 60s. There was the erection of the Berlin Wall in 1961; and the Cuban missile crisis and John Glenn becoming the first American to circle the earth in space, both in 1962. There was a dress code and the prom was held at the school gym. Mike Ryan (‘80) was a member of the first half-day kindergarten class in 1967. He remembered wild, fast bus rides, but they always ar- rived safely at school. His experi- ences with the wrestling team of 1980 were shared. The team, coached by Bill Sutter, was the state champion after wrestling Staples to a 24-24 tie. Another vivid memory of his was the teach- ers’ epidemic of diarrhea. It ap- peared that some food eaten in the teachers’ lounge was contami- nated. No students were affected. Warren Reztaff, former teacher and coach, said that when he was asked to speak, his first response was, “Why me?” because the pay is bad and there are several other local people who could do it. He was told that Bill Sutter talked too long and everyone was tired of listening to Ed Stern (who was not a teacher in 1914 despite the rumors). Reztaff said that he worked at three other schools, but none were better than Goodhue. Darin Raasch (‘93) said that if he counts time spent in pre-school, elementary school, high school, coaching, and substitute teaching, he had been with the Goodhue School system for 27 years by the time he was 31. He said there is an Eleventh Amendment in Goodhue that says, “Thou shalt not put your feet on the chair in front of you.” Mark O’Connor (‘03) acknowl- edged the great change in tech- nology that occurred while he was in school. It also created a new way to get detentions. He said that between 2000 and 2009, eleven teams from Goodhue went to the Minnesota tournaments. He is still proud to wear Wildcat purple and white. The ceremony ended with Tyler Stehr (‘08) singing “Danny Boy.” Pine Island White Rock’s new name will be First Farmers & Merchants GOODHUE — All White Rock banks will be renamed First Farm- ers & Merchants during the week- end of August 24.

A public apology to many peopleTo the Editor:

I would like to start with myboss and his younger brother. Iwill not mention names but youguys know who you are. I am sorryfor showing up at work drunk andangry. I especially owe the boss’slittle brother my heartfelt apol-ogy. I feel so much shame andremorse for the words I spoke toyou. I would also like to apolo-gize to my co-workers for seeing

me in such a state.I would like to apologize to the

Zumbrota Police Department. Youguys have had to deal with me andmy drunken, belligerent attitudefar too often and I thank you fornot throwing me in jail all the timesyou could have.

I am sorry to all my neighborson the 200 block of Mill Streetand the surrounding area for allthe yelling and foul things thatcame out of my mouth. That is not

who I am.And finally, sweetheart, I am

sorry for all I have put you through– all the verbal abuse and shame-ful things I have said to you. I loveyou, honey.

I am taking steps to correct myreally, really bad behavior. I donot like who I become when I getdrunk. I am truly sorry for all thethings I have put you all through.

FromDevil’sKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

Gardens

Still no new grandchild. Hope-fully, when you, dear readers, pe-ruse this column, the baby willhave been born. To paraphrase BillCosby, it must be a girl. She is lateand will probably pop out in acocktail dress with high heels, achampagne glass in one hand, anda full head of hair done up just so.She will say, “Who is the uglyguy? You ought to get rid of him!”We went on long walks and noth-ing.

It is the long walks that I amwriting about. Certain neighbor-hoods around the world seem todevelop a large amount of per-sonal and civic pride. The peoplewho have homes in the neighbor-hood plant, raise, and tend gar-dens with almost a competitive

flair. It is more than just colorfulflowers; it is the garden layoutand arrangement of plants. Someareas are simple. A one-foot-widespace between the house and thedriveway for twenty feet gives riseto a variety of plantings and color.Some are just flower beds and oth-ers are vegetable gardens or evena mixture. Other people dividedtheir front yards into specific ar-eas of grass and garden. Fencesbecome supports for hangingflower pots and hanging veg-etables.

If you inquire and ask nice,people will show you their back-yards. This is where the real gar-dening is happening. If you walkor drive through these neighbor-hoods, you will find that almostof the people will be gardeningand taking care of their yards. Iknow a couple who used to live inRochester. She decided to grow awild garden. It looked wild anduncared-for. In reality, she hadplanted every plant growing in heryard. She had a plan as to how she

wanted it to look. She built herplan and it did look the way shewanted. Some of the plants weretall vegetables like dill (also knownas dill weed) and other tall stalkplants.

Public parks are done differently.You find a ten-foot circle withjust white tulips. Occasionally, youmight find a USA flag done usingflowers of the three colors. Whenwe were in London, in the spring,the areas were further coordinated.The big area might be for just tu-lips and each sub-area would be adifferent color. The rose area wouldlikewise be set up by color andvariety. Few public gardens have“hodge-podge” multi-variety flow-ers growing in one area. Publicparks are “ORGANIZED,” don’tyou know! Sometimes you mightwant a little bit of “wildness” inthe public gardens but it is notgoing to happen.

One final point: a weed is just aflower growing in the wrong place!How does your garden grow? Untilnext week.

Zumbrota MazeppaGoodhueNeighbors

Matthew Liffrig and Jacob WolkenhauerPINE ISLAND – Twelve-year-

olds Matthew Liffrig and JacobWolkenhauer enjoy volunteeringat Pine Haven Care Center. Theboys, both from Pine Island, spendtheir time playing cards and so-cializing with the residents.

Several years ago Liffrig beganvolunteering at Pine Haven, pri-marily because his grandmotherwas a resident and his father workedfor the center. But a couple monthsago he began devoting serious timeto volunteering. He said, “I do-nate about a good 20 hours a weekor more.We do all sorts of things…one of my favorite things to dois sit down with the residents andplay cards.” Liffrig decided to startvolunteering at Pine Haven afterseeing his friend Jacob Wolk-enhauer helping at the facility.

Wolkenhauer is in his third yearof volunteering at Pine Haven. Hespends about four hours a week,sometimes more, helping at thefacility. He said, “It’s really funthere.” Wolkenhauer enjoys play-ing cards and Bingo with the se-nior citizens and said it is enjoy-able helping them to have a goodtime. He said the opportunity tosocialize with them is another rea-son he likes volunteering. Wolk-enhauer said, “It’s fun to listen tothem telling stories about whenthey were a child; how much dif-ferent it is now from then.”

Liffrig appreciates the genera-tional differences as well. He said

residents can really get into someactivities and music because it isfrom a time when they were youngand it brings them great joy. Themusic is very different from thetype of music youth listen to thesedays, but Liffrig said that’s okaybecause “some of the music is re-ally good.”

Wolkenhauer said he beganvolunteering after his mother madethe suggestion. He also helps outat his church when needed.

Liffrig said, “I just love helping

people. I think that it is kind andthe right thing to do when youhave some free time.” He said hewould encourage other kids whoare kind and love to help out tolook into volunteering. “I thinkany kid who needs something todo should come down and helpout here,” Liffrig said. “I wouldrecommend it, because it’s justplain fun.”

Wolkenhauer agreed and said,“I think Pine Haven is a reallycool place to volunteer at.”

Lauren HolmZUMBROTA – Lauren Holm,

18, began volunteering three yearsago. For weeks during the sum-mer she would volunteer at TroutLake Camps, a Christian camp nearBrainerd. For a time, she also spentthree hours every Friday at theRonald McDonald House. Holmsaid, “I loved cleaning and social-izing with parents. I’d also playthe piano for whoever would bewalking by. I like to share mymusical abilities! The universallanguage tends to bring so muchjoy to others.” Holm recommendsvolunteering at Ronald McDonaldHouse, regardless of age.

She said, “When I’m volunteer-ing, I love to simply help peoplewith their needs…The free joy thatone can bring to others, whether itbe to young kids at the RonaldMcDonald House, children at asummer camp, or residents at alocal nursing home,” the time isalways greatly appreciated. She

has experienced the benefits ofservice. “Volunteering also givesyou a better outlook on life,” shesaid. “You’re able to associate witha greater amount of people at adeeper, more friendly level.”

Outside of school Holm workedas an activities aide at the Zum-brota Care Center. In addition tovolunteering, work, and school,she also attended youth groups,weekly Bible study, found time tochill with friends and her largefamily, and meet new people. Shesaid it’s always fun to create freshconnections with random people.

Volunteerism has made such animpact on the Zumbrota teen’s lifethat she is interested in a lifetimedevoted to service. On August 16,Holm left for a nine-month vol-unteering journey across the coun-try with NET Ministries. She said,“My future plans are still tenta-tive, but eventually I desire be-coming a missionary of some sortand simply help others for the restof my life. Whatever God has inmind for me will certainly be anadventure, but I’m up for anything.”

Maddie LindhartZUMBROTA – Maddie Lind-

hart volunteers her time at theZumbrota Area Food Shelf. Shebegan volunteering there aboutthree years ago after her aunt in-vited her to help out.

Lindhart found she loved theexperience. The 16-year old helpsstock shelves and hand out foodand lends a hand whenever needed.

Lindhart is a student at Zum-brota-Mazeppa High School. Evenwith an active schedule that in-cludes dance team, track, hang-ing out with friends, and playingwith her dogs, she knows it is im-portant to make time to volunteer.

The best part about volunteer-ing, Lindhart said, is “knowingthat no matter how much you give,

it makes a difference.” She rec-ommended others get involved involunteerism. “It’s a fun way togive back to the community,” shesaid.

By Alicia Hunt-WelchYoung people often get a bad

rap for the clothes they wear, theirchoice of music, and nonchalantattitudes. But despite negative ste-reotypes, most youths are well-adjusted and concerned about theworld around them. The fact is amajority of youths perform sometype of volunteerism in their com-munity. A study from the Univer-sity of Nebraska Lincoln Exten-sion Department found that anestimated 60% of youths in theUnited States volunteer. Teenagevolunteers contribute about 2.5billion hours annually. The num-ber of youth volunteers has in-creased significantly in the lastdecade, and the number in the Mid-west is higher than the nationalaverage.

Volunteering has several ben-efits. It can help uncover and ex-plore interests. It allows you tomeet people you may not other-wise have the opportunity to. Col-leges and scholarship applicationsoften ask for volunteer activities,and being able to fill in those boxesis impressive on an application.The same could be said for a jobresume or application. Youths whopreviously have not had a job canadd a history of volunteer work,which is considered just as valu-able. Numerous educational schol-arships and awards are only avail-able to youths who volunteer; suchas The Prudential Spirit of theCommunity Awards, Kohl’s CaresScholarship Program, the Pres-ident’s Volunteer Service Award,The Lions Young Leaders in Ser-

vice Award, the Youth VolunteerCorp Awards, The Girl Scouts ofAmerica Gold Award, the BoysScouts of America Eagle ServiceAward, the Do Something Awards,the Gloria Barron Prize for YoungHeroes, and the Wofford Awards.

Youths in our area come out ofthe woodwork to help with spe-cial events, such as Taylor andHolly Parker, Sam Edwards, EllisHirman, Hunter Prodzinski, Bran-don Stevens, Jacob Ugland, DrewCollins, Jordan Thompson, andNathan Bennett did when theyassisted with Mazeppa’s annualcity-wide clean up.

The following profiles highlightonly a few of the youth volunteersfrom the News-Record area whohave helped improve our commu-nities and our way of life.

Zumbrota

ZM High School studentsattend business camp

Attending the Minnesota Business Venture are Zumbrota-Mazeppa HighSchool students Megan Bennett, Jamie Warneke and Kaitlyn Sommerfield.

MINNEAPOLIS – A cutting-edge business plan outlining amake-your-own-cupcake store inthe Mall of America was praisedby a panel of industry investors.The proposal for “ CupMake ”summarized marketing, finances,and operations practices – and itwas crafted in one week by a groupof unfamiliar high school students.Dozens of business plans such asthis were created at BestPrep’s 33rdannual Minnesota Business Ven-ture (MBV), a week-long sum-mer business and career skills campfor high school students. Whilethe business plans and monetaryinvestment were imaginary, theideas presented would give today’sentrepreneurs a run for their money.

Three students from Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School – MeganBennett, Jamie Warneke andKaitlyn Sommerfield – were spon-sored by local companies to at-tend MBV. This camp is held overtwo summer sessions in partner-ship with the Herberger BusinessSchool at St. Cloud State Univer-sity (July 14-19) and the DonaldMcNeely Center for Entrepreneur-ship at St. John’s University (July28 - August 2). The students fromZMHS attended the second ses-sion at St. John’s. Nearly 350 stu-dents representing 95 schools spenta week of their summer preparingfor life after high school, learninghow to start their own business,and improving their financial lit-eracy skills.

“It was a great experience tomeet new people and learn aboutbusiness,” said Bennet. “My fa-vorite parts of camp were Corpo-rate Olympics, the motivationalspeakers, and making the busi-ness plan with my company.”

The experience was made pos-sible by more than 150 Minnesotaentrepreneurs and business pro-

fessionals, who volunteered toshare their experiences and busi-ness insights with the futureworkforce, and by 144 generoussponsors who donated funds tosupport students’ attendance. CHSInc. and K.A.H.R. Foundationmade this opportunity availablefor the ZM students.

Students heard from a gamut ofspeakers representing companiessuch as: Allstate, General Mills,the Minnesota Timberwolves, andPadilla Speer Beardsley. Thespeakers covered a wide range oftopics such as managing personalfinance, experiences in entrepre-neurship, how to present and com-municate one’s best self, and sto-ries of business ethics.

Local business professionals,known as Resident Business Lead-ers, served as mentors to the stu-dents throughout the program .These volunteers, from companiessuch as Allianz Life ,Cargill,Ecolab, Securian, Thrivent Finan-cial for Lutherans, Travelers, U.S.Bank and Xcel Energy, lived on

campus for the week and guided agroup or “company” of studentsthrough the creation of a businessplan and proposal.

BestPrep’s Minnesota BusinessVenture has more than 11,000 pro-gram alumni. Program ManagerJanae Olinger said, “MinnesotaBusiness Venture is a unique op-portunity for high school studentsto gain skills that will help themnow and in their future. Goingthrough a mock interview, learn-ing about finances, working in adiverse team, communicating withadults and peers, and speaking inpublic are all skills that help pre-pare students for success in schooland the work world.”

In addition to MBV, BestPrepoffers five other innovative pro-grams: Classroom Plus, eMentors,Financial Matters, The StockMarket Game and the Technol-ogy Integration Workshop.

Packing for the Weekend gearsup for 2013-14 school yearBy Angela Andringand Marilyn Anderson

ZUMBROTA – The Packing forthe Weekend program for the Zum-brota-Mazeppa School District hasbeen providing backpacks of nu-tritious food for students sinceFebruary 2013. Planning and en-rollment for the program for the2013-14 school year has begun.Currently 17 families consistingof 43 students, ranging in agesfrom 2 to 17, are enrolled in theprogram. This is all possiblethrough generous donations andvolunteer efforts from the com-

munity.Packing for the Weekend is an

extension of the United Way ofGoodhue, Wabasha and PierceCounties. Each week the studentspick up a backpack with a break-fast, lunch, dinner, and snacks forchildren in their family. The pro-gram supports families with chil-dren considered “food insecure,”meaning the child does not getenough food outside of school.By providing this basic need, thestudents are strengthened, whichhelps the schools and the commu-nity as a whole. The program isavailable based on need and situ-ation rather than family income.

Families interested in enrollingin the program for the 2013-14school year should contact BritneyMeyers (grades K-2, 7-12) [email protected] or(507)732-7848 extension 1124 orPam Langley (grades 3-6) [email protected] or (507)732-1414, extension 1117.

Some statistics help in sharingthe successes of the local programduring the past year:

• A total of $7,719.01 has beenraised.

• $6929.01 was donated by lo-cal businesses, churches and com-munity organizations.

• $790 was donated by individu-als.

After initial fundraising and lo-gistical planning, the program of-ficially kicked off in February 2013.

Food was obtained and packed fordistribution, averaging approxi-mately 42 pounds of food preparedper week, or 168 pounds a month.

This program relies heavily onvolunteers to make it successful.Last year, approximately 20 indi-viduals, representing severalgroups, helped pack backpacks atvarious times.

If interested in helping to sup-port this program:

• Speak up. Forward this mes-sage; talk about it with other com-munity members.

• Donate. Monetary funding isalways needed. 100% of fundinggoes directly to pay for food.

• Get involved. Since this is aweekly program, the need for vol-unteers is high. Volunteer pack-ers for the 2013-14 school yearare currently being sought. Pleaseemail Angela Andring at [email protected] or call at (507)732-4408 if interested in helping.

Financial support has includeda Zumbrota Community Trust grantand the Bank of Zumbrota and itscustomers through their holidayoutreach drive. Without the sup-port of these groups, this programwould not be successful.

Checks can be made to “UnitedWay of WGP” with “ZM Pack-ing” in the memo line. Checks canbe mailed directly to: United Wayof Goodhue, Wabasha & PierceCounties, 413 W. 3rd Street, RedWing, MN 55066.

ZUMBROTA – When “Don’tTell My Wife” debuts August 23at the State Theatre, audiences canexpect laughs from mix-ups, ex-treme makeovers, and a snake in ahotel room. Z-Theatre’s play, writ-ten by Joan Sween of Rochester,is wrapped in a sense of commu-nity, with an eight-member castall with close ties to Zumbrota.Eric Decker of Rochester directsthe play. Showtimes are 7 p.m.August 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, and 2p.m. September 1. Tickets are avail-able at Busby’s, Crossings, MainStreet Pharmacy, and at the door.

Sween said she looks forwardto the play’s run in Zumbrota be-cause it is the first time it will beproduced live on stage, and it’s atype of play she hasn’t writtenbefore.

“I’ve never written a hotel-roomfarce, where someone’s hiding,someone’s jumping off the bal-cony, and someone’s wife is look-ing for them,” she said.

Sween holds degrees in Englishand theatre. She has directed andtaught live theatre, and has coached

and judged speech and drama fes-tivals. Currently, she spends mostof her time as a playwright, work-ing on farces, comedies and playsfor young audiences.

She is a member of Pine AreaPeople for the Arts (PAPA), whichrecently produced a farcical melo-drama written especially for theorganization: “When ProhibitionHit Pine Island.” Theatres in Chi-cago and Austin, MN, have re-cently produced her plays. Twoof her works are published byEldridge Plays and Musicals.

“The proving ground of a smallcommunity theatre is my cup oftea, and it will do me the mostgood. I’m interested in entertain-ing people like me,” Sween said.

Sween will participate in a ques-tion-and-answer session with theaudience following the August 25performance.

Decker spends his days as a lan-guage, literature, and speechteacher at John Marshall HighSchool in Rochester. This August,he’s been spending his eveningsdirecting the local cast that will

showcase Sween’s play for the veryfirst time.

“Both on stage and in the audi-ence, we are creating a story, shar-ing laughter, and learning moreabout ourselves and the world welive in. I especially enjoy work-ing with community theatre, andmy time in Zumbrota has been noexception,” Decker said.

Decker has directed or assis-tant-directed three professionaltheatre shows, 70 community the-atre productions, and has taughtmore than two dozen drama classesfor adults and youth.

The cast of eight includes BrianAdams, Cynthia Biorn, Joe Carl-son, Tomine Erredge, Lori Rauen,Jennifer Ruberto, and Rob Weberof Zumbrota; and Turi Jystad ofMarshall (formerly of Zumbrota).

Z-Theatre operates under theumbrella of the Zumbrota AreaArts Council (ZAAC), owner ofthe State Theatre. Fundraising ef-forts for the renovation of the build-ing are ongoing. More informa-tion can be found at zaac.org or bycalling 507-272-1129.

2012 Zumbrota audit update presentedBy Tara Chapa

ZUMBROTA – Mark Murch,Certified Public Accountant fromthe Whitewater Tax and Consult-ing Firm in Dodge Center, gave a2012 city audit update to the Zum-brota City Council on August 15.He said he reports final numbersto the state auditor and that hav-ing staff be cooperative helps himgather his information more effi-ciently. Murch said that if staff isuncooperative, it is a red flag forhim to dive further into accountpractices. He said he does not feelthis way towards city of Zumbrota;rather the complete opposite.

Murch looked into accountspayable via the city minutes andsaid they are reported there in adetailed fashion. He advised coun-cilors to be diligent about under-standing the city’s financials.

In a summary, Murch informedthe city that there is $21 million innet assets, $3.6 million in long-term debt, and $11 million that istied up in fixed assets.New police officer discussion

There is still further discussionto be had about the possibility ofhiring another full-time policeofficer in Zumbrota. CouncilorSara Durhman said that all infor-mation given to her about shiftsand financials of a new full-timeofficer should be researched andstudied closer with the help of afellow councilor. She said she needsto understand these details furtherbefore making a decision.

City Administrator Neil Jensensaid there would be major line itemsfalling off the budget between 2015and 2016 which would offset thecost of a full-time officer. Someloans fall off in both 2015 and2016 as well as job zones that willproduce a tax base in 2015.

Tina Hostager said that once shefeels another officer is warrantedand knows where the money willcome from to pay for the officer,she may be more inclined to ap-prove.Rick Lohmann resigns

The council approved the res-ignation of Public Works Direc-tor Rick Lohmann. DaleHinderaker thanked him for his36 years of service. Lohmann ap-preciated the gratitude, but said itwas time to head into a differentdirection.School resource officer

Councilor Tina Hostagerbrought up a previous questionfrom Zumbrota-Mazeppa SchoolSuperintendent Tony Simons onwhether the city could apply for agrant for a school resource officer.

Jensen said that Simons’s ques-tion, at the time, did not allow forenough time to apply for the grantbefore the deadline. A school re-source grant is given for four yearsand the city would need to pay for25% the officer’s compensation.Jensen said Simons would keepthe city informed of when the grantis available again and allow formore time to have the applicationin before the deadline.Easement agreement approved

An easement agreement wasapproved for an eight-foot areawhich the city owns near the oldWedge Lumber building that wasrecently sold. An easement agree-ment allows the right to use theproperty of another without pos-sessing it.

Both the city attorney and theplanning commissioner viewed thissmall eight foot area and advisedthe council to approve this agree-ment.

Details on the new owners of

the Wedge Lumber building havenot been released at this time.435th Street project to begin

A bid for the resolution of the435th Street improvement projectwas approved and a contract wasawarded to Schumacher Excavat-ing for the lowest bid of $252,955.The project was set to begin onMonday, August 19, and shouldbe completed in two to three weeks,weather permitting. It will thenbe ready for black top.Trailhead/visitor center

In 2012, Zumbrota purchasedapproximately 26,000 square feetof property adjacent to the cityhall, public library, and CoveredBridge and Park. Including cityhall and the library, there is aboutfour acres total of civic space inthe entire area. There is publicaccess to the site from Main Street/Highway 58 to the east and Sec-ond Street to the south.

The city is also pursuing acqui-sition of an adjacent 10,296 squarefoot parcel to the east. The intentis to utilize the newly acquiredsite(s) and existing public land fora trailhead for the Goodhue Pio-neer Regional Trail and a visitorscenter. Information about thebridge, trail, local history, arts,entertainment, culture, shopping,dining, recreation, and lodgingwould be at the visitor’s center.

Congressman Kline meets withsoybean farmers on Amundson farm

Minnesota’s Second District Representative John Kline visited Marty and Kelly Amundson’s farm on August14. Listening to a comment about the pending farm bill are, from left to right, Gary Hovel, Cannon Falls; LorenManthey, Northfield; Brad Hovel, Cannon Falls; Kline; and Marty Amundson, Zumbrota.

By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA – In one of his

agricultural stops on August 14,Minnesota’s Second District Rep-resentative John Kline visitedMarty and Kelly Amundson’s farmin Zumbrota Township, northeastof Zumbrota. The 90-minute stopallowed time for a question andanswer session followed by in-formal discussion during break-fast for the dozen area farmersand agri-business people in atten-dance. The Goodhue/NorthWabasha County members of theMinnesota Soybean Growers As-sociation (MSGA) arranged thevisit.

Doug Monson, MSGA regionalcommunication specialist, pro-vided some statistics on crops.Though more corn is grown inthis area, soybeans are a signifi-cant crop in Goodhue County.89,800 acres of soybeans wereharvested in 2011 (last year’s sta-tistics unavailable) compared to155,300 acres of corn. In Wabasha

County, 37,200 acres of soybeansand 87,700 acres of corn wereharvested in 2011. With soybeanshaving a shorter growing season,some local farmers planted morebeans this year than originallyplanned due to the late spring.

Much of Kline’s initial com-ments and follow-up discussioncentered on the controversial fed-eral farm bill which Congress isattempting to pass before programsexpire on September 30. If notpassed, programs revert to lawsenacted in 1949. The House andSenate have passed different ver-sions of the bill, resulting in a jointHouse and Senate committee need-ing to consolidate the bill. Thesection covering SupplementalNutrition Assistance Program(SNAP) was removed from theHouse version with the plan that itbe addressed separately.

When questioned if the billwould be passed in time throughcompromise or by extension ofthe current bill, Kline indicated

that the farm policy will be workedout with the food and nutritionissue debated separately.

Discussion moved onto othertopics including the Environmen-tal Protection Agency and otherregulations and laws. Noting thegridlock in Washington, BradHovel of Cannon Falls, a MSGAboard member, summed up muchof discussion by telling Kline, “Youneed to go out and hammer them”to get issues accomplished in Con-gress.

After a walking tour around theAmundson grain drying and stor-age area, Kline spent the remain-ing time talking informally withattendees during breakfast. Addi-tional Kline stops scheduled forthe day included meeting with anagriculture advisory board in Can-non Falls, turkey growers in ruralNorthfield, and the Randolph FFA.Kline was accompanied by hiscommunications director, TroyYoung, and district director,Brooke Dorobiala.

Area youth and leaders travelto Wyoming on mission trip

A group of 30 youth and adult leaders stopped at an overlook on the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming en routeto Wind River Reservation in July. They were on mission trip sponsored by United Redeemer Lutheran Church.Front row: Laura Drackley, Bailey Berg, Caitlyn Heitman, Lisa Ecker, Shanna Poncelet, Molly Lawler, ErinIdler, Deb and Jim Berg; middle row: Nancy Drackley, Anne Wilson, Noah Prodzinski, Cody Tabor, AlyssaQuam, Rose Bridley, Jackie Matuska, Brady Schoenfelder, Anna Haugen, Emma Drackley, Dan Wilson; backrow: Teryn Erickson, Connor Teigen, Seth Tupper, Blake Lerum, Landon Rauen, Josh Nelson, Torger Jystad,Paul Dahlen, Cindy Wilson, Willie Rauen.

By Cindy WilsonZUMBROTA – United Re-

deemer Lutheran Church spon-sored a mission trip to the WindRiver Reservation and Landerscommunity in west central Wyo-ming this year. Thirty people,mostly high school youths, madethe trip west July 5-13.

The Wind River Reservationarea is home to both the EasternShoshone and Northern Arapahotribes, as well as people living incommunities surrounding the res-ervation in Fremont County andLander. The area offers the natu-ral beauty of mountain peaks,meadows and alpine streams. De-spite the beauty of the land, resi-dents of these communities facemany social and economic chal-lenges including poverty, unem-ployment and drug abuse. Ourgroup’s mission was to bring hopeto those who are struggling. Frompainting and weatherizing homesto reaching out to the local chil-dren and elderly residents, servicesoffered to the people in the WindRiver Valley provide a positiveexperience for the people livingthere as well as those who travelthere and offer assistance and getto know the people.

The program was put on byYouthWorks, based out of Min-neapolis. They have 80 differentsites in the United States that wecould choose to serve. If you areinterested in taking a group throughthe program, go to www.youthworks.com to see more informa-tion for the summer of 2014.

In addition to our time spentworking in the community, wewere able to mix a variety of ac-

tivities and experiences into ourjourney as we traveled to and fromthe Wind River area. We beganour journey by driving to Sheridan,Wyoming where we saw sites suchas Shell Falls, Story Fish Hatch-ery, Trails End Museum, andKing’s Saddlery. Our drive wasbeautiful as we drove through theBig Horn Mountains. Our desti-nation was Lander, where westayed at the Wyoming Life Re-source Center.

Each day we drove with six dif-ferent groups to sites on the reser-vation, or in Lander, that neededhelp with various projects or ac-tivities with children. Projects in-cluded painting, staining, weed-ing, and mowing. We also visitedthe residents at the nursing homein Riverton and led a kids’ club of30 children on the reservation.

We were joined by two othergroups of youth and leaders forour work. One group was fromBrooklyn Park; the other groupwas from Michigan for a total of75 people in our group.

After our work day was done,we had different activities eachnight. We experienced a “pow-wow” in Lander. This was amaz-ing! The costumes worn by theShoshoni and Arapahoe tribes werebeautiful and the dances werewonderful to see. At the end oftheir powwow, they had a contestfor any of the youth or adults tocompete in. Each contestant wasto copy one of the dances we hadjust watched. There were 75 ormore people competing. Two ofour youth, Josh Nelson and CodyTabor, won.

We visited Sinks Canyon in

Lander. The waterfall goes intothe canyon underground, reappear-ing into a trout-filled pool one-half mile down the canyon. Thesetrout were huge!

Our wide variety of activitiesincluded visiting a family on thereservation, playing volleyball, andvisiting Sacagawea’s grave site.The last evening, we had a com-munity cook-out in Lander.

After our mission work was donefor the week, we headed towardshome, stopping in Sheridan, Wyo-ming, hometown of adult leaderDan Wilson. Dan’s parents, Jimand Viola Wilson, hosted a picnicfor us. The food was amazing af-ter our work week.

We attended the ProfessionalRodeo Cowboys Association(PRCA) Rodeo during Sheridan’sRodeo Days. There was a contestfor everyone in the stands to do“Air Guitar,” with the top fourpeople out of the thousands in thestands selected to compete on therodeo grounds. One of our localyouth, Teryn Ericson, was pickedas a finalist, for another fun eventfor our group to watch.

On our remaining twelve-hourreturn drive, we stopped to seeMount Rushmore. Many of theyouth had never been west, so itwas a great trip to visit the manysites as well as do service workfor other people.

We will be doing a presentationof our trip at United Redeemer,560 W. Third Street, Zumbrota,during our PACE hour (educationtime) at 9:15 a.m. on Sunday,October 6. We invite anyone tocome and hear about our greatsummer experience.

Wanamingo EDA speaks withseed dealer about his plansBy Alicia Hunt-Welch

WANAMINGO – Keith Allenspoke with members of theWanamingo Economic Develop-ment Authority on August 12 abouthis plans for purchasing a lot inthe Industrial Park. One year ago,Allen contacted the city with aninterest in purchasing land to con-struct a building for his seed busi-ness. Allen is an independent seeddealer with Golden Harvest. InNovember he entered an agree-ment with the EDA to lease landfor his seed plots. According tothe agreement Allen was to applyfor and receive approval for a build-ing permit to construct a seed build-

ing in Wanamingo by August 1,2013. If he failed to do so, theEDA had the option to terminatehis lease agreement. The EDA hasnot heard any progress on Allen’sbusiness plans since last year andtherefore requested that he speakwith them.

Allen said that due to the ex-tended winter this year he was offto a late start planting and has nothad time to plan. He said he plannedto sit down with his banker thenext day and requested that theEDA give him year to get his plansorganized. “It’s been a trying yeara for first year on your own,” hesaid.

Despite the bad planting sea-

son, Allen said he met all his com-pany goals. He is looking into leas-ing buildings for office space un-til he can get his permanent plansoff the ground. Currently, he isrenting space from another facil-ity to store his seed and using hishome as an office, but he wouldlike to have an office as soon aspossible to meet with clients.

The EDA directors mentionedthat the bus garage on Third Av-enue is for sale, as Wright Coachesis no longer in business. Allen saidhe would look into that as an op-tion.More forfeited lots to open up

Eight more parcels near theformer golf course along 5th StreetEast and the 3rd Street East cul-de-sac will be tax forfeited in 2013.In 2011, 35 parcels in the samearea went through the forfeitureprocess. Of those, the city requestedfour for use as an undevelopedpark, as this was allowed in theprocess.

City Administrator MichaelBoulton said that in talks with cityrepresentatives, they did not be-lieve more park space was neededat this time. He said the county isattempting to sell the lots at fullretail, although they are up for ne-gotiations. If the parcels do notsell, the city expressed their pref-erence that the county/state leasethe land for agriculture in ten-yearagreements rather than a year-to-year basis. Leasing unpurchasedparcels as farm land long-termwould allow the city to save moneyby avoiding mowing and mainte-nance costs.Proposed budget for 2014

The proposed 2014 EDA bud-get was presented to the directorsfor review. Boulton said the big-gest change is increased budget-ing for the administrator and clerkwages. Since the city is consider-ing a wage increase for the twopositions, and the EDA budgetincludes a portion of those sala-ries, these 9% raise estimates wereoutlined.

Boulton said the EDA needs toprepare for Jeff Benson’s prop-erty to come off of its tax incre-ment financing term. He also saidthe Medical Facility Building isshowing a positive cash flow forthe first time since it opened.

EDA members Brian Johnson,Josh Schaefer, Ryan Holmes, BrianGudknecht, Danny Benson andJosh Sandberg approved the pro-posed budget for 2014. PresidentJim Kittelson was absent. The fi-nal budget will be presented forapproval later this year.

Larson Log House in Wanamingohas a 40-year-old leaky roof, anda new one is needed before seri-ous damage occurs. The Wana-mingo Historical Society is ask-ing for your help in this projectand for other needed repairs to thenotable building.Wanamingo His-torical Society volunteer TwilaSimonson said, “We need to re-place the roof because of leakingand it will cost us over $2000,even with free labor.”

Contributions are tax deduct-ible. Donations may be made atSecurity State Bank of Wanamingoand/or made to “Wanamingo His-torical Society” and mailed to 5612nd Avenue, Wanamingo, MN55983.History of the log house

In 1846 Lars Larson and hissecond wife Tanetta, along withtheir children, emigrated fromStavanger, Norway to Chicagowhere he worked as a cabinetmaker. In 1849, a cholera epidemicswept through Chicago andclaimed the lives of Tanetta andthe youngest Larson son, Hans.In 1856 Lars Larson and his 18-year-old son, Edward, traveledfrom Chicago to Wanamingo. Itwas decided Lars’s younger daugh-ter, Anna, would stay in Chicagoand live with a family friend orher older sister Rachel.

Lars moved to the territoryknown as Minnesota in hopes ofrelieving his tuberculosis. He pur-chased farm land and began build-ing a log house (in the area nowknown as Wanamingo Townshipin the vicinity of County 30 and100th Avenue). As his health be-gan to deteriorate, 14-year-oldAnna came to the WanamingoTownship homestead to help carefor her father. In April 1857 Larspassed away. Edward and AnnaLarson buried their father on thefarm.

Edward married, raised a fam-ily and remained on the farm untilhis death in 1911. Local historianGary Bakko said many in theWanamingo area were acquaintedwith Ardella Larson Fossum andLillian Larson Turner, granddaugh-ters of Edward Larson.

Although only having lived inthe log house briefly, young Annabecame the most famous residentto come from the historic home.After her father’s death, AnnaLarson returned to Chicago, neverto see her brother Edward again.She eventually married HoratioSpafford in 1861.

The couple had four daughtersand lived in a Chicago suburb untilafter the great Chicago fire took atoll on their stability. Two yearsafter the fire a family doctor ad-vised the Spaffords to take avacation. It was decided the fam-ily would first go to France andthen on to Switzerland. Passagewas booked on the French oceanliner Ville du Havre. When thefamily was about to leave Chi-cago for New York, Horatio learneda buyer was interested in real es-tate he had invested in prior to thefire.

It was decided Anna would takethe children to Europe and Horatiowould later follow. After four daysat sea, in the early morning ofNovember 22, 1873, a British ves-sel struck the ship in its midsec-tion. Anna and her daughtersTanetta, Annie, Maggie, and Bessiewere swept into the sea. AlthoughAnna survived, the children allperished that day. Anna made herway to Paris to wait for her hus-band. As Horatio made his Atlan-tic crossing to join his distraughtwife, the captain informed Spaffordthey were in the location wherehis daughters had perished at sea.He returned to his cabin and wrotetext that would later become thehymn “It is Well with My Soul”.

The Spaffords eventually hadmore children, traveled to the HolyLand and began a religious colony.He died in 1888. Anna lived along and storied life and eventu-ally died from a stroke in 1923 atthe age of 81. The story of AnnaSpafford’s life is told in the book“American Priestess.”The log house is donated

Sharon Thoreson with theWanamingo Historical Society saidthat Edwards Larson lived in thelog house until his death. Afterthis the home stayed in the Larsonfamily until Garvin Friese purchasethe Larson farm in 1973. As Friese

In August 1974, Friesedonated the Larson Log House tothe newly formed Wanamingo His-torical Society.

internet rumor has made its wayfrom Oklahoma to GoodhueCounty. Last week this Facebookpost started circulating: “Every-one in the Wanamingo and sur-rounding areas watch your kids.There is a little turquoise blue carwith stars on the passenger sidedoor driving around trying to sellchildren’s books. There is an in-vestigation going on with themright now for kidnapping and sextrafficking . Keep doors and win-dows locked and don’t let yourkids outside unattended. And don’tanswer the door. The guy I sawdriving the car has a strong ac-cent, blonde hair, he is white andis wearing a blue plaid shirt. Keepyour eyes open.”

Chief Deputy Lyle Lorenson ofthe Goodhue County Sheriff’sOffice said, “A similar Facebookposting has been out for a littlebit. We checked in to it last weekand it is not true…” Lorenson saidCaptain Pat Thompson with theGCSO looked into this claim.

Lorenson said, “The people sell-ing children’s books in GoodhueCounty have been checked intoand they checked out okay.”

Thompson went on to say thepost’s claim regarding the sex tradelink is false. “There is an indi-vidual selling educational materi-als in the Goodhue County areaassociated with the same companywho was selling educational ma-terials in Winona,” he said. “Some-one in the Winona area put out asimilar Facebook post, but I seenow it has changed to GoodhueCounty.”

After a similar post showed upin Winona, the police departmentlooked into it. Winona Daily Newsdeputy editor Jerome Christensonsaid the post appears to have ini-tially started in Tulsa, Oklahoma,although no one can be certain.The Winona paper ran a story in-forming the public that the com-pany Southwestern Advantage ofNashville, Tennessee, is legitimateand that the rumors of them beinghuman traffickers is false.

Lorenson also said, “Anyonegoing door-to-door in Red Wingor other towns most likely need apeddler’s permit. This is not re-quired out county.”

Wanamingo does require apeddler’s license and the ordinanceis available on the city website.City Administrator MichaelBoulton said the salesperson sell-ing books and materials inWanamingo did apply and has beenissued a peddler’s permit.

The Goodhue County Sheriff’sOffice responded to several sus-picious person or activity com-plaints that ended up being booksellers. Three calls came fromCherry Grove Township on Au-gust 9-10, and on August 12 onecall was made from Pine Island,and two from Wanamingo.

Cross country returns to Goodhue after 35 yearsboys and nine girls. “The kidshave a great attitude. We are anx-ious to start the season to seewhat we have,” said Coach Op-sahl. “It has been forever sinceGoodhue has had a running sport,but we wanted to offer this as away to get more kids involved.We hate to make cuts, but when

you have 30 girls out for volley-ball and you can only have somany on the team, cuts have tobe made. We are giving kids anopportunity to have fun and getin better shape.”

Coach Opsahl noted that thenew runners in the Cat CC pro-gram did not know if they would

have a team until August 5.“We’ve been looking for a coachsince February,” remarked Op-sahl who stepped into the coach-ing ranks just a few weeks ago.Oddly enough, Opsahl was con-nected to those 1970s Goodhuecross country teams, acting as amanager. “Some of the girls did

some running over the summer,but cross country is new to all ofthem. None of the kids have everseen a cross country meet beingrun.”

Coach Opsahl said that as ofthe first week, Matt Lexvold haslooked very strong on the boysteam, and that Madison Schaferhas paced the girls. “Both Mattand Maddie have worked hardand have great attitudes. We wantto see what they can do againstcompetition.

Goodhue will get their firstopportunity to run at the GilmoreGallop at Wabasha on Monday,August 26 beginning at 4 p.m.

Goodhue will run in Section1A in the post-season. LaCres-cent and Lake City are seen ascontenders in both HVL and Sec-tion 1A competition.

ZMKW has all of their top runners returningAs much as things will be the

same as last year with all of thefamiliar faces, the Cougars doface some big changes. After run-ning in Section 1A the past fouryears, ZMKW will jump back upto Section 1AA for post-seasoncompetition for the next two years,at least. That means competingagainst the likes of Albert Lea,Austin, Farmington, Hastings,Red Wing, Kasson-Mantorville,Lakeville North and South, Owa-tonna, Winona, Northfield Farib-ault and Rochester’s John Mar-shall, Mayo and Century.

“It is what it is,” lamentedCoach Smith of running against

the big schools, something theCougars did for 12 straight yearsbefore dropping back into Sec-tion 1A from 2009-2013. “Weare the smallest school compet-ing in Class AA in cross coun-try. We are just big enough toqualify to move up a class. Butwe have been paired with Kenyon-Wanamingo since 1985, and wemake a great combination thatbenefits both schools. We do notwant to change that.”Cougar boys

back, and with the addition ofsome new runners, we should dowell,” remarked Coach Smith.“The key for the new runners isto learn to run smart. A crosscountry meet is not a 400-meterrun. You try to pick runners aheadof you off one at a time. You donot have to run at the lead.”

Both Nystuen and Hokansonearned HVL All Conference hon-ors last season, and Coach Smithis hoping to add a few more tothat list. “We have a lot of newguys out, wrestlers and basket-ball players, who will help usout and will push the rest of theteam. Being out for cross coun-try will help them in other sports.We just want to get kids out,have them be active and have agood time,” Smith pointed out.“We just need for them to learnto run smart.”

Lourdes and Kasson-Mantor-ville will be tough in both HVLaction and in Section 1A and1AA.Cougar girls

Like the Cougar boys’ team,the ZMKW girls lost just onerunner in senior Mikayla Myran.Six letterwinners return to theCougar girls team in seniors: Deb-bie Miller, Emily Karl, and KatieBohn; sophomore Callie Ryan;freshman Maddie Patterson; andeighth-grader Skyler Jacobson.

Non-letterwinners who willcontribute are seniors: CennedyGunhus and Whitney Ellefson;junior Isabelle Finholm; sopho-mores: Emma Schnieders , KelliNordquist and Sarah Benrud; andeighth-grader Clara Flikke.

Jacobson was a nice surpriselast season in her first year ofcross country. She earned HVLAll Conference honors and placed75th in the Class A meet in North-field.

“We do have everyone back,but the girls team does not havethe depth the boys team does.The key will be to stay healthy,”said Coach Smith. “We have alot of girls out who are tryingcross country for the first time.They have great attitudes afterthe first week of practice.”

Lake City, Lourdes and La-Crescent are picked to be theteams to watch in HVL compe-tition. In Class AA, LakevilleSouth placed sixth in the statemeet and they have everyonereturning. Lakeville North placed15th and they have six of theirtop seven back.

Goodhue needs to fill most of their skill positionsCoach Poncelet. “We should beable to play more kids and finishthe game strong.”

The Wildcats will open the sea-son a week earlier than usual dueto the nine teams in the Blue Di-vision of the Southern FootballAlliance, a merging or the HVLand Three Rivers Conference.Fifteen letterwinners return to startthe 2013 Goodhue season at homeagainst Hayfield on Friday at 7p.m

Monogram winners back areseniors: Alex Thomforde, Aus-tin Buck, Cody Nord, Riley Hue-mann, Tyler Vikingson, MattDeneen, Derek Ryan, Ben Ram-boldt and Josh Dahling; juniors:Tyler Schumacher, Jacob Gils-dorf, Logan Breuer, and ChuckDahling; and sophomores: SamMcNamara, and Calvin Peterson.

With junior Tyler Schumacherback at quarterback, Coach Pon-celet has that skill position back.Schumacher passed for over 800yards in HVL play in 2012.

The Cats have seven startersback on offense and four on de-fense, but Coach Poncelet saidthat there is plenty of competi-tion for playing time with thesophomore class looking verygood. “Guys that started last yearcould be competing for playingtime this year,” Coach Ponceletremarked.

cleaned house of Goodhue’s skillpositions from last year’s 4-6football squad that reached theSection 1A semifinals. With lead-ing running backs and receiversall gone, Coach Tony Ponceletis working his squad hard to findthose replacements. He does haveback his starting quarterback.

Coach Poncelet and his staffgraduated just eight seniors inleading running backs DillonHuemann (all conference) andKyle Drehmel, receivers AlexWeckerling, Zach Hinsch andTyson Dicke, and linemen JakeBlattner, Mitchell Breuer (all con-ference) and Ryan Tipcke (allconference.

“We’ve got some experienceback on both sides of the ball,but we have more depth this yearthan last. We didn’t have thatdepth last year and it showed inthe fourth quarter,” remarked

Wildcats have taken a beating inHVL Gold Division play againstmany Class AAA and AAschools. With the switch to theSFA, Goodhue will face manyClass A teams including FillmoreCentral, Kingsland, Rushford-Peterson, Southland, and Wa-basha-Kellogg. Blue Divisionfavorites, defending state cham-pion Caledonia and Chatfield areboth Class AA teams.

“It all goes through Caledoniauntil someone beats them,” re-marked Coach Poncelet of theWarriors who have won statetitles in football five of the lastsix years. “This is supposed tobe Chatfield’s year. They playCaledonia right away this sea-son and they lost just 6-0 to themlast year.”

In post-season play, the Wild-cats will still face tough compe-tition from Blooming Prairie,

Bethlehem Academy and Rush-ford-Peterson.

“Both Blooming Prairie andBA lost some of their top play-ers to graduation, but both re-turn a lot of players. We hope tobe in the mix when playoffs be-gin. Of course, the key is beinghealthy,” Poncelet added.Letterwinners Yr Ht Wt O DAlex Thomforde 12 5’11’ 155 WR CBAustin Buck 12 6’2’’ 240 TE DECody Nord 12 6’ 165 WR CBJacob Gilsdorf 12 5’10’’ 155 RB LBRiley Huemann 12 5’8’’ 165 RB LBTyler Vikingson 12 6’1’’ 17 L LMatt Deneen 12 5’6’’ 165 L LDerek Ryan 12 5’9’’ 190 L LBen Ramboldt 12 5’10’’ 240 L LJosh Dahling 12 6’1’’ 275 L LLogan Breuer 11 5’7’’ 160 RB LBTyler Schumacher 11 6’1’’ 170 QB SChuck Dahling 11 5’11’’ 185 L LSam McNamara 10 5’11’’ 160 RB LBCalvin Peterson 10 6’2’’ 165 RB LBNon-Letterwinners Yr H Wt O DJacob Pasch 11 5’11’’ 165 QBDBRiley Augustine 11 6’2’’ 175 TE DERay Tipcke 11 6’2’’ 240 L LNathan Lamoreux 11 6’ 165 L LCharlie Bristol 10 5’8’’ 140 WRCBWilson Jonas 10 5’10’’ 160 RB LNathan Altendorf 10 5’11’’ 165 WRDBEd Otterness 10 5’8’’ 130 RB DBCasey Deneen 10 5’6’’ 165 RB LBGarett Huemann 10 5’9’’ 160 RB LBRyan Evans 10 5’11’’ 170 WRLBJustyn Lind 10 5’10’’ 170 WRLBChase Danielson 10 5’9’’ 165 L LSam Kyllo 10 6’ 165 L LAaron Austin 10 6’2’’ 260 L LBrett Schrimpf 10 5’10’’ 170 L LBGilmer Gomez 9 5’6’’ 135 K

DNR QUESTION OF THE WEEKQ: The DNR is in the process of determining the abundance of

pheasants in the state’s pheasant range. How is this number deter-mined?

A: Since 1955, the Minnesota DNR has conducted annual roadsidesurveys during the first two weeks of August to estimate pheasantabundance. These surveys entail counting all pheasants observedwhile driving each of 152 survey routes – one to four routes per county– in Minnesota’s pheasant range. The annual August roadside surveysdo not provide a total census, but rather an index of relative abun-dance. This information is then used to monitor changes in the pheas-ant population over time.

The results of the survey are reported in early September andprovide a good forecast of the upcoming pheasant hunting season.

– Nicole Davros, DNR wildlife biologist
