ZUMBROTA Following a
year-long renovation project that
extended from one end of Zum-
brota Ford to the other, owner Steve
Johnson is looking forward to cel-
ebrating. Arrangements are being
completed for a three-day grand
re-opening celebration Thursday
through Saturday, July 31-August
2. Zumbrota Ford is located at the
intersection of Highways 52 and
58 at 1600 Main Street in Zum-
brota.
Johnson said,Come see what
we have done and celebrate with
us. Hot dogs, pop and ice cream
will be available throughout the
event with additional catered food
available 4-7 p.m. on July 31.
Guests will receive gifts, with spe-
cial gifts for customers purchas-
ing vehicles. Several door prizes
will be awarded including a golf-
ing vacation package to the
Brainerd lakes area, a grill, and
tickets to Vikings and Gopher foot-
ball games.
Really a new building
Johnson said with only two of
the original four walls of the build-
ing remaining and the roof replaced,
the end result is really a new build-
ing in what has been the biggest
project of his business career.
Johnson said the lengthy project
was kind of like a marathon. He
praised everyone involved in the
project both the workers doing
the construction and the Zumbrota
Ford employees. The business re-
mained open and served custom-
ers throughout the process, with
the exception of one day when the
service department was shut down.
Johnson compared the effort as
being similar to overhauling a
car engine, but while you are go-
ing down the road. He added that
while there was inconvenience,
the end result was worth it. It
was time to either build for the
future or fall behind, he said.
People have thanked Johnson for
Zumbrota Ford to celebrate grand re-opening
Kristin Johnson and Steve Johnson are looking forward to the upcoming grand re-opening celebration of
Zumbrota Ford scheduled for July 31 through August 2. A complete renovation of the facility, including the
reception area, has recently been completed.
Quick Lane technician Garrett Baack gets ready to change an air filter on a F-150 Ford pick-up in the Quick
Lane Tire & Auto Services area at Zumbrota Ford. The new service area opened last winter.
investing in the community. There
will be a Ford dealership in town
for years to come, Johnson said.
The project progressed from west
to east with the service depart-
ment and the new Quick Lane Tire
& Auto Services completed over
the winter. Johnson said custom-
ers, especially commuters, appre-
ciate the extended hours offered
(7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 7
a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday).
While the parts area had little
change in square footage, it gained
nearly 50 percent more available
space as it is now better organized.
File cabinets and other items that
had been in the area are now in
appropriate areas.
The lounge and welcome/recep-
tion areas have been completely
renovated. The lounge offers a
comfortable area for customers to
wait while work is being done on
their vehicles with coffee, bottled
water, popcorn and free Wi-Fi
available. The light maple color
of the cupboards and tables match
the chairs and desks in the wel-
come and reception area. Johnson
pointed out that the previous drop
ceiling in the reception area had
been raised. That change, along
with the soft gray polished ceramic
floor tile add to a brighter area
than it was. The space was also
enlarged making for no more
musical desks. The addition of a
u-shape reception desk will be
completed after the grand re-open-
ing.
The number of employees has
increased over the past year. Zum-
brota Ford now has thirty-six full-
time and eight part-time employ-
ees. Long-time employee, Jerry
Hinrichs, began work at Bob Seely
Ford in October, 1961 and cur-
rently works part-time at Zum-
brota Ford. See separate story about
Hinrichs and some of the other
changes that have occurred over
the years.
Fifteen years of Zumbrota Ford
Robert Seely purchased Zum-
brota Motors, located at 448 Main
Street, on October 1, 1954. The
business moved to its current lo-
cation at 1660 Main Street in 1967.
Perry Weeks, a longtime employee
at Bob Seely Ford, purchased the
business on May 1, 1980, and re-
tained the business name during
his 19 years of ownership. Steve
Johnson bought Bob Seely Ford
in April 1999, and it became Zum-
brota Ford.
Johnson started his business
career at the age of 18 as a sales-
man at the Ford dealership in St.
Charles following high school
graduation. The owner of the busi-
ness was a friend of Bob Seely.
After seven years, Johnson moved
to Winona to begin work at the
Ford dealership there. During his
11 years in Winona, Johnson mar-
ried, started raising his family, and
worked his way up to general
manager. From Winona, the
Johnsons moved to Farmington,
where Steve was co-owner of the
Ford dealership, a business that
they later moved to Lakeville.
But Johnson decided to come
to Zumbrota. He said, I knew it
could be exactly like St. Charles.
I was convinced I could duplicate
the same thing here. He has met
some of the children and grand-
children of some customers he had
when he started out in St. Charles.
Johnsons daughter, Kristin
Johnson, joined Zumbrota Ford
almost four years ago and is the
sales manager. She worked with
the Walser organization (auto-
motive dealerships) in the Twin
Cities for nine years. Future plans
are for Kristin to some day take
over the business.
Zumbrota Ford maintains an
inventory of approximately 300
new and used vehicles on its 3-1/
2 acre site. For additional infor-
mation, including sales and ser-

Serving the Highway 52 Golden Corridor from Hader to Oronoco
Chinmay Ballamwar of India, Theodor Amariucai of Romania, and Bayasgalan Ulambayar of Mongolia, all
hosted by Mike and Nadeen Lunde, enjoy the taste of their first smores at an outing at the Kay and Ray Frick
house on July 9. The boys also had brats and played four-square with the Frick family.
By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND Pine Island
Lions Club members Mike and
Nadeen Lunde have once again
opened their home to three youths
who are part of the Lions Interna-
tional Youth Exchange Program.
This is their fifth year as a host
family. Since their arrival on July
1, Chinmay Ballamwar of Mumbai,
India, Theodor Amariucai of
Bucharest, Romania, and
Bayasgalan Ulambayar of
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, all 15-
year-olds, have been experienc-
ing American culture. This is the
first visit to the United States for
each of the boys who will be here
through the end of the month.
The Lions International Youth
Exchange Program was established
in 1961 to give youth (ages 15-
21) an opportunity to travel to
exciting international destinations
for up to six weeks. An exchange
program can be arranged in hun-
dreds of countries and geographic
locations where there are Lions
clubs.
Each year, the program intro-
duces young people to life in other
cultures by helping them travel
abroad. The aim of the program is
to create and foster a spirit of
understanding among the peoples
of the world. The youths experi-
ence firsthand a new culture,
lifestyle and customs. Unlike some
exchange programs, the Lions pro-
gram does not involve tourism,
academic studies, or employment.
Ballamwar, who loves math,
playing soccer, and listening to
dance music, has no siblings so
being with the other boys gives
him a chance to know what its
like to share and do things like
brothers would do. He has also
enjoyed American food (his fa-
vorite is bacon). Ballamwar is look-
ing forward to trying apple pie
and going to watch a baseball game
in the Twin Cities. He would like
to someday visit New York.
Amariucai also love soccer and
math. And he has one younger
brother. He said one thing he was
really looking forward to trying
was pancakes, which he found to
be very good. Amariucai also
wanted to go to a Taco Bell after
seeing the TV show Breaking Bad.
He said the tacos were small com-
pared to what he thought they
would be, but were very good,
Lundes are hosting three exchange students
too. He hopes to someday see Lake
Superior and go to Chicago.
Ulambayar has one younger
brother and likes chemistry. He
loves to play basketball and com-
puter games. Ulambayar was look-
ing forward to trying a hot dog
which he said was good.
Other opportunities the boys
experienced included feeding cows
at a local farm and visiting other
hobby farms were they saw goats,
horses, a bunny, ducks, chickens
and a few other animals. They also
watched fireworks in Rochester
at Silver Lake on July 4, visited
the Mayo Clinic, and tried the foods
available at the Thursdays on first
event including cheese curds, lefse,
krumkake and rosettes.
The boys will participate in a
week-long camp from July 19-27
that brings together other young
exchange participates from around
the world. The event will include
a visit to Bethany College in
Mankato; Valley Fair Amusement
Park; playing laser tag, mini golf,
and bowling; doing a ropes course;
touring the State Capital and Saint
Paul Cathedral; going to
Chanhassen Dinner Theater; tour-
ing the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank;
visiting the Mall of America;
watching a Saints baseball game;
experiencing the Feed My Starv-
ing Children volunteer program;
playing a group softball game; and
visiting St. Cloud State Univer-
sity. The camp will end with an
international banquet held at St
Marys Cathedral Parish Center
in St. Cloud where the youth pre-
pare food from recipes from their
own countries and share informa-
tion and pictures about their homes.
Being a host family to a young
person through the Lions Youth
Exchange program is a learning
experience for the host family and
the visiting youth. Nadeen, who
is the Youth Exchange Chair for
the Pine Island Lions Club, said
that is what they like about the
program. The Lundes, who have
two grown sons and one grand-
son, enjoy sharing their time, dem-
onstrating local customs, and learn-
ing about other cultures. Its very
interesting, you just never know
what to expect, Nadeen said. She
added that the youth typically know
how to speak and read English
pretty well. Translations can some-
times be a little tricky, but they
work together and figure it out.
In the past five years the Lundes
have hosted two youths from Den-
mark, one from Finland, two from
Germany, three from Brazil, one
from Italy, one from China, one
from Sweden, two from Mongolia,
one from Romania, and one from
India. The Lundes said that being
a host family is a great opportu-
nity to help make these young
adults goals a reality by sharing
their homes and lives with a visi-
tor from another country for four
to six weeks. A host family does
not need to be a Lion to partici-
pate.

The enemy within...the White House
How would you describe a presi-
dent who scrapped missile defense
plans for Eastern Europe in order
to appease Vladimir Putin? Na-
ive, perhaps?
How would you describe a presi-
dent who withdrew support for
longtime Egyptian ally Hosni
Mubarak in order to throw his sup-
port to the Muslim Brotherhood
and the so-called Arab Spring,
which proved to be the Mideast
Calamity? Was he ignorant?
How would you describe a presi-
dent who actually believed that
Irans nuclear intentions were only
peaceful? This is a country who
has promised to wipe Israel from
the face of the earth. Is he inexpe-
rienced?
How would you describe a presi-
dent who is bent on trashing the
best health care system in the world
in favor of one that puts our health
and our lives in the hands of bu-
reaucrats? Is this arrogance?
How would you characterize
encouraging tens of thousands of
Central Americans to storm our
borders and declare themselves
refugees? Stupidity, maybe?
Or how about trading five of
the most dangerous war criminals
in Gitmo for one likely American
deserter? Or how about labeling
Major Nidal Hasans mass mur-
der of thirteen American soldiers
(while screaming Allah Akhbar)
workplace violence instead of
terrorism?
The list goes on and on. Israeli
President Netanyahu was snubbed
at the White House, but Saudi King
Abdullah was bowed to by Obama.
The Syrian red line for chemi-
cal weapons was abrogated with
no consequence. The military bud-
get was gutted to the point where
we will soon have the smallest
Army and Navy since before World
War II.
Naive, ignorant, inexperienced,
arrogant, stupid? These all seem
inadequate to describe this presi-
dent. This is supposed to be the
most intelligent man in the room
regardless of the room. Hes a
better speech writer than his speech
writer. Hes a better political strat-
egist than his political strategists
and this is all by his own assess-
ment, so it must be true. But
wouldnt a smart man hire intelli-
gent, experienced, savvy subor-
dinates who could provide him
with valuable advice, and wouldnt
an intelligent president consider
that advice? And wouldnt that
advice be such that the country
and the world would be moving
toward a more stable state instead
of a less stable one? Or maybe it
is, and we just dont know it. Af-
ter all, according to CNSNews,
White House press secretary Josh
Earnest said [on] Monday [July
14, 1014,] the Obama
administrations foreign policies
in a number of areas have enhanced
the worlds tranquility.... And
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
declared the following day that
The border is secure.
No, we are not living Alice in
Wonderland, and the world is not
experiencing enhanced tranquil-
ity, and the border is not secure.
America is being transformed, just
like Obama promised. What he
did not promise, but should have,
is that the world is also being trans-
formed due to his policies and ide-
ology. Its not due to inexperi-
ence, ignorance, naivet, or any
weak characteristic. Its by design.
My longtime friend and mentor,
Jack Rudd, said it best in charac-
terizing a recent New York Times
article http://www.nytimes. com/
2014/06/16/us/politics/historians-
critique-of-obama-foreign-policy-
is-brought-alive-by-events-in-
iraq.html?_r=1 :
Some academics persist in at-
tributing Obamas foreign policy
to extraordinary ignorance. They
simply cant believe what Obama
has demonstrated over and over
again, that he is an enemy of the
United States. Perhaps they will
find their courage to admit it after
Obama has completed his devas-
tation and left office.
God bless America!
From
Devils
Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher
When will we learn? part three
According to the US Constit-
ution, the president must be na-
tive born and at least 35 years old.
I am not going to argue about Presi-
dent Obamas birth. Instead lets
look at the age requirement. When
this country was founded under
the Constitution, we were still a
growing nation. We had not crossed
the Mississippi River except around
New Orleans which really be-
longed to the French. The western
half of the eastern half of the country
was still wild, and Native Ameri-
cans lived in most of that terri-
tory. If you lived to 35, you were
doing good and quite lucky. Your
knowledge base was probably
complete for the times.
Today, the average male life
expectancy is above 78 and a
womans is higher! For us, our
life is just starting, not ending at
35. In 1780, the normal education
was eighth grade. To stay in school
and complete high school was
equivalent to a college BA or BS
degree. To go to college was rare.
Most Americans could not afford
to have their children stay in school.
The needs of the family were too
high. As the nation grew, we grew
richer and healthier, and lived
longer.
Since 1952, we have had a few
young presidents. They were
elected because of their charm and
charisma. John Kennedy had a
better grasp of history, but it
couldnt save him from the assas-
sin. Many of his decisions in ret-
rospect were made based on his
immaturity. Mr. Obama has little
grasp of history and appears not
to understand either the Constitu-
tion or the federal government.
He definitely does not understand
the multi-party political system.
Our government is divided into
three distinct parts. Each part has
its set of functions to perform. Some
of the functions provide checks
and balances for the other parts.
When these checks and balances
work, the government works just
fine. When politics and political
parties actively prevent the gov-
ernment from taking action, is when
we start to have problems.
Some of our politicians have
worked hard at compromise to get
the parties to work together. We
have a president who claims he is
willing to work together, but com-
promise does not seem to be a
word in his vocabulary. He doesnt
understand why they dont under-
stand and agree with him. His only
explanation is that they are Re-
publicans and they hate him. He
doesnt realize that one cannot
insult the other side in one sen-
tence and ask for their help in the
next. Disagreeing and hating are
two different activities. Disagree-
ing with someone does not mean
you hate them.
Charisma and charm are often
mistaken for intelligence and ex-
perience. Mr. Obama is an edu-
cated person but that doesnt mean
he is worldly in his knowledge.
He has neither the experience nor
the intelligence of a good, much
less great president. Until next
week.
Chemical spraying
To the Editor:
I am writing this with concern
about why my township would
have someone spray a chemical
that killed trees and bushes in and
along ditches on township roads.
Many of these trees or bushes were
at least 12 to 15 feet from the road.
I am not talking about trees and
bushes that are blocking ones view
or interfering with traffic in any
way.
The spray was used to kill li-
lacs, Queen Ann bushes, small
maples, and wild apple trees. There
where birds and other wildlife liv-
ing in and among these trees and
bushes. One particular set of bushes
in the ditch by my house had a
nest of hatchlings from a Redwing
blackbird; they are no more.
I also question what this chemi-
cal does to the environment itself,
ground water, and runoff? Finally,
how much does killing trees,
bushes, and wildlife with this
chemical cost us, the township
taxpayers? I am not a tree hugger,
but why is there a need for what
seems to be a foolish deadly pro-
cess?
Stephen J. Rosenthal
Roscoe Township
Helped by young man
To the Editor:
After the parade at Mazeppa
Daze, I walked across the street to
visit old friends and left my purse
sitting on the boulevard. When I
came back and proceeded to load
the car with chairs, etc. I noticed
my purse was gone. Instant panic!
A young man noticed my dis-
tress and came to tell me We found
your purse and his mom verified
that. They turned it in to the police
and pointed out which officer.
When we offered him a reward
he said, Oh, no, I dont need any
money. Im a Boy Scout. Only
when we suggested he give it to
his group would he accept it.
In all the excitement I neglected
to ask his name. So, young man, if
you or your mom is reading this,
accept my gratitude once again.
Your parents and Boy Scout leader
can be very proud of you.

K-9 demonstration given at
Pine Island American Legion
A K-9 demonstration was given at the Pine Island American Legion on July 15. Left: Deputy Jim Goham and
his K-9 partner Havoc greet three-year-old Camryn Plumbo of Oronoco. Right: Havoc waits patiently for his
cue from his handler Deputy Goham (not pictured) to grasp the bite sleeve worn by Deputy Dan Englund.
By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND Goodhue
County K9 Deputy Jim Goham
and his partner Havoc held a dem-
onstration on July 15 at the Ameri-
can Legion for Van Horn Public
Librarys Tuesday @ 2 program.
Goham talked about his work and
Havocs training and responsibili-
ties and provided a demonstration
with assistance from Deputy Dan
Englund.
One point Deputy Goham
wanted to get across was that K-
9s are not ferocious:People see
these dogs on TV and they think
theyre vicious, but thats simply
not the case. Havoc is extremely
social its controlled aggres-
sion. Havoc can live up to his
name and cause damage, but only
under Gohams command and in
very specific situations.
A three-year-old German Shep-
herd/Belgian Malinois mix, Havoc
is the second K-9 for Deputy
Goham. His first partner, Titan,
had to retire in 2011 due to health
issues, and at the beginning of this
year had to be put down. Goham
said, Its hard but you cant get
too attached to these dogs because
they dont belong to you person-
ally. They belong to the Goodhue
County Sheriffs Office and the
public. Im just lucky enough to
have them as a partner. K-9 han-
dlers do have the option to keep
the dogs after they retire, but since
Deputy Goham wanted to focus
on just one K-9 to work with, he
decided not to keep Titan. But he
was glad that his parents were able
to care for the dog so he could still
be in contact with him.
K-9s are not cheap. Havocs cost
was about $7,500. However, a
$5,000 donation from Nestle Purina
in Hager City made the purchase
much more affordable. The GCSO
currently has three K-9s. They are
the same mixed breeds as Havoc
and are imported from the East-
ern Europe. Other handlers are
Deputy Matt Hoekstra with K-9
Ransom and Deputy Matt Bowron
with K9 Ambush.
The K-9s have many skills that
make them a valuable tool for law
enforcement. They use their height-
ened sense of smell to detect the
path of fleeing criminals or miss-
ing people. In searching, K-9s use
a combination of the scent of the
individual and the scent that the
disturbed ground gives off when
a person takes a step. The dogs
can track across many surfaces
including concrete, grass, sand,
and gravel.
The K-9s are also trained to
detect the odor of illegal narcot-
ics. When a dog indicates that there
is the odor of narcotics, it gives
law enforcement probable cause
to search.
In the rare circumstance that a
felon flees or a violent individual
refuses to surrender, Havoc is
trained to physically apprehend
them and render them into sub-
mission. The K-9s can enter a build-
ing and find an intruder in a frac-
tion of the time it would take po-
lice officers.
The dogs are considered deputy
sheriffs and have their own equip-
ment issued by the department.
The handlers have special patrol
cars for their canine companions.
Tinted windows help minimize the
heat and there is a temperature
alarm that lowers the windows and
sounds a horn if the interior tem-
perature gets too high. A special
cage is in the vehicle that has a
water dish and a rubber mat and is
ergonomically designed for com-
fort and safety. The patrol car also
has additional lights to maximize
visibility.
After the demonstration the par-
ticipants were invited to meet
Havoc individually. Goham, who
has been a Goodhue County pa-
trol deputy since 2001, has always
been interested in working with a
K-9. He said one of the most im-
portant parts of his job is public
education.
Library names art contest winners
ZUMBROTA Kallie Alders, left, and Jacob Halverson were named the winners in the Zumbrota Public
Librarys art contest on July 17. They each received a $25 gift certificate to Crossings. Winners of the short
story writing contest were Rianne Buck, Holly Donovan, Kam Zetah, and Soren Hellyer. Their stories will be
printed together as a hardcover book that will be available for checkout later this year.
ZUMBROTA Peggy Petrzel-
ka, a rural sociologist and associ-
ate professor at Utah State Uni-
versity, is travelling the country
to gather information from women
farm-land owners who lease their
land to others to farm. On Friday,
July 25, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. she
will be at the Zumbrota Public
Library to hold a focus group with
women landowners. A compli-
mentary light lunch will be served,
and mileage reimbursement will
be provided.
The meeting is part of a project
to learn more about the issues that
women landowners face nation-
wide. It is sponsored by the Ameri-
can Farmland Trust and Utah State
University and coordinated locally
by Renewing the Countryside, with
support from The McKnight Foun-
dation and the Woman, Food
and Agriculture Network.
We know very little about this
group of agricultural landowners,
yet, know in some areas of
the country their numbers are
growing (in Iowa, for example,
48% of the agricultural land is
owned by women, either as sole
or co-owners), Petrzelka said.
These numbers are expected to
rise over the coming decade as the
women inherit land from their
parents or become sole owners
if their husbands die before them.
The focus group will include
testing a draft survey that will
eventually be sent to women
landowners nationwide and dis-
cussing any issues/concerns
women landowners have regard-
ing their land and their interest in
conservation practices. Participants
will be asked to share their reac-
tions to survey questions such as
the regional appropriateness of the
questions, the length of questions,
confusing questions, questions that
need to be asked, etc. so the project
can be improved.
The end product of this research
will be recommendations to fed-
eral and state agencies to help them
be more responsive to this subset of
farmland owners.

Combined Charities Drive
distributes over $21,000
ZUMBROTA With the dis-
tribution of over $21,000, the 2014
Zumbrota Area Combined Chari-
ties Drive is complete. From this
total, $10,500 went to nine local
agencies: Zumbrota-Mazeppa
Education Foundation, $1,000;
Zumbrota Community Trust,
$1,000; Zumbrota Emergency
Food Shelf, $3,400; Goodhue
County Habitat for Humanity,
$500; Pro-Act Zumbrota loca-
tion, $1,000; Three Rivers Com-
munity Action, $1,500; Riverview
Services Zumbrota location,
$500; Boy Scouts local troop,
$700; Girl Scouts local troop,
$900.
The remaining contributions
went to twenty agencies: Special
Olympics, $425; ALS Associa-
tion, $475; Alzheimers Associa-
tion, $820; American Cancer So-
ciety, $1,275; American Diabetes
Association, $740; American Heart

Sclerosis, $425; National Parkin-
son Foundation, $445; Salvation
Army, $1,125; Sister Kenny In-
stitute, $240.
While the total contributions
were down from previous years,
the number of contributors in-
creased and local contributions
were higher than the past three
years. A decrease in matching
contributions from IBM, due to
fewer employees from the Zum-
brota area, was the cause of the
decrease in the total contributions
received. A check from IBM is
expected soon, but will be included
in the 2015 drive.
Residents may contribute to
Combined Charities anytime dur-
ing the year by sending donations
to PO Box 255 in Zumbrota. You
may designate which agencies you
want your donation to go to or
leave it as an undesignated dona-
tion.
SAN ANTONIO, TX Fam-
ily, Career and Community Lead-
ers of America (FCCLA) brought
more than 7,000 of its student lead-
ers, members and advisers to the
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention
Center in San Antonio, Texas, on
July 6 to participate in the 70th
annual National Leadership Con-
ference. Attending from Goodhue
were Tiffanie Anderson, Anna
Kohlnhofer, Ethan Dressen, Peyton
Bork, and Mekaylla Holt.
The conference provided oppor-
tunities for students and advisers
to come together for fun and to
listen to inspiring speakers, as well
as to expand their leadership skills,
sharpen their talents and explore
possible career paths. The theme
of this years conference was
SOAR, and attendees were chal-
lenged to go beyond what was
expected of them to make lasting,
positive impressions in their fami-
Goodhue students attend FCCLA
National Leadership Conference
lies, schools and communities.
We were delighted to gather
great speakers, leadership devel-
opment initiatives and the energy
of the thousands of students who
came to San Antonio for this con-
ference, but realize the best part is
that these students will use the
event as a platform to make a dif-
ference in their own cities and states
when they return home, said
Sandy Spavone, executive direc-
tor of Family, Career and Com-
munity Leaders of America
FCCLA offers over 30 Family
and Consumer Sciences related
events, also known as STAR (Stu-
dents Taking Action with Recog-
nition) events. Members compete
at the region, state and national
level. This year, over 4200 STAR
Event participants competed in San
Antonio. This was the largest num-
ber of competitors at any National
STAR Events compe-tition! Rep-
resenting Goodhue in STAR Event
competition was Anna Kohlnhofer.
She received a silver medal in the
Illustrated Talk event.
The Goodhue chapter also re-
ceived recognition as a national
award winner for the FACTS na-
tional program. FACTS stands for
Families Acting for Community
Traffic Safety. The chapter car-
ried out their winning project last
September when they participated
in the It Can Wait campaign,
encouraging people not to text and
drive.

Pine Island prepares for
Fire Relief Association Dance
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND On July 15,
the Pine Island City Council ap-
proved a dance permit for the Pine
Island Fire Relief Association for
August 9. A one-day temporary
liquor consumption and display
permit was approved contingent
on the association providing li-
ability insurance.
The council approved a request
to close South Main Street from
3rd Street S to 4th Street S from
2:30 p.m. on August 9 until 12:59
a.m. on August 10 for the
associations annual event.
Changes in the Fire Relief As-
sociation by-laws and benefit levels
were also approved by the coun-
cil. The council authorized an in-
crease from $2,750 per firefighter
per year to $3,300.
General obligation bonds
Mike Bubany of David Drown
& Associates reviewed the pro-
posals received for the purchase
of the citys general obligation
street reconstruction and improve-
ment bonds, Series 2014A. The
bonds were issued in the original
aggregate principal amount of
$2,315,000 for street reconstruc-
tion and improvements. The coun-
cil approved the sale of these bonds
to construct the roundabout from
CSAH #11 to the east city limits
of Pine Island and to extend the
Highway 52 East Frontage Road.
The council did not take action
on a resolution for the sale of
$1,600,000 of general obligation
crossover refunding bonds, Series
2014B. The crossover bonds
wouldbe used to refinance the
outstanding maturities of the GO
street reconstruction and improve-
ment bonds. This will allow the
city to borrow and pay on the street
improvement bonds after some
time to lower interest paid out and
save the taxpayers money.
The council approved a resolu-
tion modifying Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) District No.1-2
to use the tax increment gener-
ated for street improvements within
the citys development district but
outside of the TIF District. The
street improvements include the
reconstruction of a portion of the
east frontage road of Highway 52
and the construction of a CSAH
#11roundabout. The improve-
ments will promote development
and redevelopment within the de-
velopment district by providing
needed services.
Council retreat special meeting
The council met for a retreat at
the Majerus and Tiarks Building
to discuss future capital projects,
a timelime for debt retirements,
and plans for cost control on July
8.
The council worked to priori-
tize city projects and needs. There
was a consensus that the swim-
ming pool is a high priority to the
community. They will not pursue
a referendum vote at this time to
allow the pool committee to do
fundraising, more evaluation of
the project, and to get more public
input. The council agreed that ex-
panding the library is not as high a
priority at this time.
The council discussed ways to
reduce costs to make more funds
available for capital projects. Job
changes at city hall and the Public
Works Department were discussed.
They approved directing the city
staff to consult with city attorney
Bob Vose and begin evaluating a
conversion to a combined city
administrator/EDA director.
The council agreed to continue
the 2015 street projects beginning
with 1st Avenue NW and Center
Drive.
Public Works
Steve Oelkers of the Public
Works Department provided an
update. The hole shot in the water
tower has not been repaired. A
report on flow meters will be avail-
able for the council at the end of
the quarter. A meeting with Land
OLakes is being scheduled to dis-
cuss their wastewater needs and
an agreement. The department
plans to work on patching pot holes
and painting crosswalks soon.
Oelkers requested a council mem-
ber go to Kasson with him to look
at their LED lighting. The flood
buyout lots should be ready for
Cheese Fest next year. There has
been some vandalism at the city
parks.
Other business
The council approved the rec-
ommendation of the Van Horn
Library Board to appoint Patty
Miller to fill the open seat created
by the mid-term resignation of
Mary Bluemer.
The council approved the fol-
lowing as election judges for the
primary and general elections in
2014: Vernetta Pahl, Pat Dillard,
Bea Rauen, Jon Eickhoff, John
Monosmith, Elynor Monosmith,
Jan Budensiek, Peggy Andrist,
Beverly Griebenow, Michael Lay-
man, Nancy Bergren, Tyler
Clemens, Cindy Oelkers, Tom
Thompson, Heidi Kieffer, Adam
Kieffer, and Jan McNallin.
A pay request from Rochester
Sand and Gravel totaling
$264,147.20 for the CSAH #11
roundabout and east frontage road
project was approved.
A minor subdivision combin-
ing Lots 3 and 4 in Block 2 of
Champagne Hills into one lot was
approved for Dick McCullough.
Setback variances were ap-
proved for the south and north
property lines at Pine Haven Com-
munity.
Culvert replacement work to begin
ORONOCO Culvert replace-
ment work is scheduled to begin
July 21 on 115th Street NW (2.5
miles east of Oronoco). The an-
ticipated completion for the project
is August 4.
This project consists of concrete
cattle pass installation. Once this
section can be open to traffic the
bridge replacement of a concrete
box culvert along with road grad-
ing will begin on 115th Street NW
(1.5 miles east of Oronoco).
The roadway will be closed to
traffic at different culvert loca-
tions throughout the project. The
contractor will accomodate local
traffic access at either Minnesota
Ave or CSAH 12. No specific de-
tour route will be signed for the
project. The public will need to
find alternate routes.
Motorists are reminded to al-
ways drive with caution, and never
enter a road blocked with barriers
or cones. Questions may be di-
rected to the Olmsted County Pub-
lic Works Department at 507-328-
7060.

pastimes were gardening and golfing. In her memory the PINHLL members planted and weeded four areas
at the entrance to the golf course. The members will maintain theses flower beds for all to enjoy. A memorial
stone with Raus name will be added to one of the areas . From left to right are Dorothy Edstrom, Helen

Pine Island
Seven-year-old Zoe Zosel gets ready to jump off the diving board at the
open swimming event at the Pine Island pool. Zoes mom Marlo Zosel
said they are excited about the proposed aquatic center.
Pool manager Teresa Carlson serves up a vanilla ice cream cone to
eight-year-old Landon Brown. Brown is at the Pine Island pool every day
and takes swimming lessons. He said he would be very mad and would
want to scream if the pool closed. In the background, lifeguard Ryan
Hinck gets a chocolate cone ready for his next customer.
By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND The Pine Is-
land pool held a free ice cream
social swimming celebration on
July 10. Pool manager Teresa
Carlson and city councilor Joel
Knox were available to answer
questions and hand out informa-
tion on the proposed aquatic cen-
ter.
The pool committee continues
to work on funding for the pro-
posed aquatic center to replace the
outdated pool. Without a plan in
place either to bring the original
pool up to code or build a new
pool, the current pool would be
shut down.
A number of people asked ques-
tions and were interested in help-
ing promote the new aquatic cen-
ter, which Carlson said was a good
thing because they need more com-
munity members, especially young
families, to get involved. Knox
said that the pool committee will
have to decide if they want to put
the vote for the new aquatic cen-
ter on the November ballot or wait
to do a special vote in the spring.
The pool committee meets the
first Wednesday of the month at 7
p.m. on the second floor of city
hall. Its email address is
pipoolcommittee@gmail.com.
More information and updates
about the aquatic center proposal
can be found on its Facebook site.
Donations for the new pool can be
made at Pine Island City Hall.

Pine Island School District
nurse presents annual report
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND On July 10,
Pine Island School District nurse
Robin Schmoll reviewed the 2013-
14 health office report with the
school board. The most common
reasons for student visits to the
school health office are illnesses,
injuries, and medication adminis-
tration.
In 2013-14, students visited the
health office 4,154 times, an av-
erage of 25 daily visits lasting 20-
30 minutes. There were 2,308 el-
ementary, 1,288 middle school,
and 555 high school visits.
In comparison, in 2012-13 there
were 3,562 student visits to the
health office. The average was 20
visits per day lasting 20-30 min-
utes. Student visits totaled 2,219
in elementary, 801 in middle
school, and 542 in high school.
Student visits to the health office
had decreased since 2010 when
the K-12 visits totaled 4,309.
Schmoll reported there were
4,495 doses of medication admin-
istered by the health office this
year. This included 2,315 con-
trolled substances, 1,026 asthma
medications, 933 pre-scription
medications, 221 as needed medi-
cations, and no Epi-Pens. Last year
4,019 doses of medication were
administered. There has been an
increase in prescriptions for con-
trolled substances.
The staff of the health office
did 499 vision screenings in grades
K-7. 51 students were re-screened
and 17 referrals were made for
parents to have their children
screened by specialists. There were
488 hearing screenings done in
grades K-7. 103 students were re-
screened and 13 referrals were
made for parents to have their chil-
dren further screened.
This year there were 93 early
childhood screenings. Last year
75 children were screened, com-
pared to 98 in 2011. Over the years
the district has used posters, the
district newsletter, the newspaper,
cable television, and the webpage
to advertise the screenings.
There is state funding for pre-
school screenings. The State of
Minnesota goal is for children to
be screened at three years of age.
The philosophy is to encourage
screening the children earlier to
offer interventions and referrals
earlier in preparation for kinder-
garten. The state requires a scored
report from the developmental tool
used in preschool screening.
Recommendations for
health office improvements
Schmoll recommended increas-
ing the space for the health office
in the new building designs. At
times the cots and all of the chairs
in the office are full of students.
A private area to administer medi-
cations and manage other concerns
would increase confidentiality.
There is no quiet area for hearing
screenings.
The health office needs to in-
crease its substitute staff pool. The
staff needs more clerical hours for
charting, inventory of medi-cat-
ions, and other responsibilities. The
office needs updated software for
records. Schmoll must prepare
health, allergy, asthma, 504 plans,
and IEP health and sensory sum-
maries in the limited office space.

Fatal accident in

On July 13 at approximately
11:15 p.m. Brandon Angell, 20,
of Baldwin, Wisconsin, was west-
bound on County Road 1 at the
intersection of County Road 8 in
Belle Creek Township when he
lost control on a sharp curve. He
went into a skid, went off the road
on the left side over a culvert, and
landed in a corn field where the
vehicle rolled several times. Angell
was ejected from the vehicle and
was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was not wearing a seat belt
and speed is believed to have been
a factor in the accident, as wit-
nesses heard a vehicle traveling at
a high rate of speed just prior to
the crash.
The Goodhue County Sheriffs
Office was assisted at the scene
by Cannon Falls Fire and Rescue
and Goodhue First Responders.

Zumbrota
Jerry Hinrichs has been a local
Ford employee since 1961
Jerry Hinrichs, center, began working at Bob Seely Ford in 1961. Throughout much of his career, he was the
parts manager and now he works part-time at Zumbrota Ford. With him in the newly renovated parts
department are Mike Goplen, left, and Ryan Bertschinger, right.
By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA Much has
changed at Zumbrota Ford in the
past year during its total renova-
tion. However, the business has
been at its current location since
1967 and it has several longtime
employees. One employee, Jerry
Hinrichs, began working with Bob
Seely Ford in 1961 and continues
to work with Zumbrota Ford to-
day.
A Zumbrota area native,
Hinrichs joined the Navy after high
school. He spent three years in the
service and was stationed on the
USS Wisconsin (BB-64) where
he was a machinist in the engine
room. The ship is now in Norfolk,
Virginia, where Hinrichs says, it
is like me in museum status!
In October 1961, Hinrichs be-
gan working at Bob Seely Ford as
a lube technician. Shortly after,
he was asked to be the parts man-
ager even though I didnt really
know anything about it. He con-
tinued in this job until the reces-
sion of the 1980s hit. He did ser-
vice work from 1980-86 and then
resumed parts manager duties full-
time.
The role of parts manager in-
volves maintaining the inventory,
ordering, and selling. But how
inventory is maintained and what
is in the inventory has changed
over the years.
Back in the 1960s and 1970s,
models such as the Ford 150 pickup
and the Ford Crown Victoria car
stayed basically the same for five
to six years. Now changes hap-
pen yearly, Hinrichs said, Some-
times mid-year. Technology keeps
getting better.
Changes in ordering have also
taken place. While Hinrichs used
to do everything with paper and
pencil, now everything is done with
a computer. Into the 1980s, ninety
percent of his work was still done
manually. It wasnt until Steve
Johnson bought the business in
1999 that one hundred percent of
maintaining inventory and order-
ing was done by computer. With
todays technology, if youre away
for a month, you have to play catch-
up to get up to speed again,
Hinrichs said.
Hinrichs currently works about
half-time, still in the parts depart-
ment. The parts area and inven-
tory was small in the 1960s, but
the newly renovated area is much
larger with a greater array of parts
for the variety of models.
During his career, Hinrichs has
worked for three owners: Bob Seely
from 1961 to 1980, Perry Weeks
from 1980 to 1999, and he has
now been with Steve Johnson since
1999. He said if he stays healthy
for another four years maybe hell
make it to 19 years with all three
owners. Ive been blessed with
all three. They have all been good
employers, he added.
Hinrichs and his wife Barb have
been together since 1972. Five of
their six children live in the area.
Regarding retirement Hinrichs
said, Ive tried it a couple times,
but I enjoy working. It gives me a
challenge. I can only do hobbies
so long.
By Tara Chapa
ZUMBROTA Mark Murch
from Whitewater Tax Consulting
in Dodge Center gave the 2013
audit report at the July 10 Zum-
brota City Council meeting. Murch
said that the 2013 financials looked
healthy and that city staff were
extremely cooperative and deliv-
ered documents upon request.
Although things looked good,
he said there is always opportu-
nity for improvement. There was
a large expense in 2013 which was
a new computer system. Money
earned this year on behalf of the
city increased by $30,000. He
added that engineering costs have
gone up whereas debt services
decreased slightly. The city wa-
ter showed a net loss, but sewer
was showing a profit.
The council accepted the audit
with no discussion.
2015 general fund budget
City Administrator Neil Jensen
talked about the 2015 fund bud-
get. In 2014, city taxes brought in
$1,037,908; taxes are projected
to be $1,059,771 in 2015. In addi-
tion, local government aid was
$545,399 in 2014 and in 2015 is
projected to be $566,683.
Jensen said there was a 0.007%
increase in the levy. Additional
increases included health insur-
ance costs for city employees by
10% as well as all salaries accord-
ing to a salary scale recommended
to the city by a national pay scale.
Jensen said the building fund
may be spent as they continue to
complete much needed road work
in Zumbrota, but then plans to build
the fund back up over time will be
carried out as they take a break
from repairs.
City accountant Kim Simonson
said health insurance costs are
actually budgeted at a 20% in-
crease, since the city planned on
most employees with health in-
surance having to cover a family
as well.
DFA violations
Since the last council meeting,
the national office of Dairy Farm-
ers of America (DFA) has con-
tacted the city and asked to meet
with them regarding their permit
violations in the wastewater treat-
ment plant recently. In June alone,
DFA had $101,000 in permit vio-
lations.
Jensen said that a national DFA
representative did tell him that they
were in the middle of implement-
ing a new system. All violation
funds received by the city are used
for repairs, maintenance, and capi-
tal projects. A national represen-
tative from DFA plans to meet
with Mayor Rich Bauer, Jensen,
and Councilman Brad Drenckhahn
on July 24 and will also attend the
council meeting later that day to
address the violations.
2014 reservoir tank cleaning
The water reservoir tank was
last cleaned in 2011 and at that
time the council decided to clean
the tank every three years. The
total cost for the project in 2011
was $7,497. That was the first time
the tank had been cleaned since it
was constructed. The 2014 bid of
$2,575 includes inspection and
cleaning of three inches of mate-
rial. Jensen said there is no way to
forecast how many inches they
will actually encounter once in the
tank.
Council approved the inspec-
tion and cleaning at whatever
amount is needed to complete the
entire tank. The cleaning is done
by Midco Diving and Marine Ser-
vices out of Rapid City, South
Dakota.
Jefferson Drive work
Public Works would like to in-
stall three patches on Jefferson
Drive. Rochester Services gave a
quote to cover patches over two
box culverts as well as a patch by
the Zumbrota Fire Hall. Patches
include milling and prep work as
well as blacktop. The total cost is
$16,645. The council approved
Rochester Services to begin this
work. This will complete the work
on Jefferson Drive for this year.
Wastewater treatment plant
Jensen asked the council to ap-
prove an advertisement for bids
on repairing three shafts as well
as some valves on the wastewater
treatment plant. He advised not
repairing all the valves at one time,
as that is very costly and the city
would then be responsible for re-
placing all the valves at one time
every couple of years. Jensen said
he wishes to stagger the replace-
ments. Council will move forward
with advertising for bids.
Other business
Jensen asked the city to approve
hiring another part-time city staff
to assist with watering and mow-
ing for the next few months while
street projects are underway. Quite
a bit of money went into trees.
And as the hottest months ap-
proach, the city needs to take care
of their trees so they do not dry
up.
Community Development Di-
rector Dan King informed the
council that the Covered Bridge
Festival costs came in $3,600 less
than budgeted. He also said that
the Farmers Market will likely
move to in front of First Congre-
gational Church at 455 East Av-
enue as road construction is set to
begin in front of East Park on East
Avenue.
Mixed Nuts entertains for all ages
Lori and Mark Hurley interact with children in the audience during
Mixed Nuts at the Zumbrota Public Library on July 16.
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA The Zumbrota
Public Library was filled with
children, adults, and clowns for a
kids comedy show on Wednes-
day, July 16, when A Touch of
Magic Entertainment presented
Mixed Nuts. The performance
was funded in part, or in whole,
with money from Minnesotas Arts
and Cultural Heritage Fund.
A Touch of Magic is a full ser-
vice entertainment agency run by
full-time entertainers and event
planners. They feature comedy
hypnosis, comedy magic, jugglers,
magicians, professional clowns,
balloon sculptures, face painting,
silly pirates, kids comedy shows,
caricaturists, henna and airbrush,
novelty fortune telling and palm
reading, stilt walkers, and holi-
day characters. They also help with
everything you need to plan a suc-
cessful holiday party, company
picnic, birthday party, or any spe-
cial event.
Married couple Lori and Mark
Hurley were the performers in the
show. This is our full-time job
and even our kids do performances
with us now that they are older,
Lori Hurley said. The Hurleys pre-
sented a show that was entertain-
ing, age-appropriate, and also pro-
duced big laughs from the adults
in attendance. Their energy kept
the show going at a pace that was
great for children of all ages, even
those who have shorter attention
spans.
At the end of the show, librar-
ian Angela Gustafson asked the
audience how many would attend
a show like this at the library again
and every child raised their hand.
This was no surprise after experi-
encing the laughter and cheers from
every child in the audience through-
out the entire show.

Pre-arrangements
Wanamingo
By Alicia Hunt-Welch
WANAMINGO Maple Island
is preparing for a significant ex-
pansion to its plant in Wanamingo.
The estimated four million dollar
project would create 15-20 new
jobs and generate about $700,000
in new taxes through tax incre-
ment financing (TIF) over ten years.
The new building is estimated to
be 35,000 square feet when com-
plete.
Maple Island has asked for fi-
nancial assistance for the project.
TIF will help pay for land acquisi-
tion and site preparation work, and
is estimated at $443,000. The city
council discussed this plan at its
July 14 meeting and took steps to
arrange a public hearing on the
zoning change associated with the
land sale.
Burbank Foods, Inc., owned by
Dick Olson, would like to sell 23.6
acres of agricultural land on the
north side of Wanamingo by the
river. Olson would like to sell the
land to Maple Island. Burbank
Foods has filed a request to re-
zone the land from residential ag-
ricultural R-A to Industrial I-1.
The land for expansion extends
from the current Maple Island lot
to the undeveloped grass/field west
of the wastewater treatment plant
and north of the grain elevator.
No land acquisition or site prepa-
ration work would begin until the
TIF is approved by the city fol-
lowing a public hearing.
The public hearing will be held
on Monday, July 28, in council
chambers at 7:30 p.m.
Third internet provider for city
Corey Hauer of LTD Broadband
entered an agreement with the city
to install an antenna and equip-
ment on the city water tower. Two
other internet providers also have
agreements with the city.
Hauer agreed to pay the city
$100 a month as a rental space fee
and to provide free internet ser-
vice at city buildings and three
public hot spots in town. The five-
year lease agreement has options
to renew.
City engineer Brandon Theobald
said he would like details from
Hauer about installation and any
cables that would hang from the
tower.
The council approved the agree-
ment with Hauer.
Public Works report
Public Works Director Steve
Haggstrom said that during the
last month he and co-worker Monty
Schaefer finished placing new
screens on the Riverside Park shel-
ter, along with cameras and sur-
veillance signs. Pot holes in the
alleyways were filled. The new
banner for 4th of July had several
problems with it and came down
it was taken to Rochester for
repair. The city water wells were
checked. Weeds were sprayed on
Main Street and along the parade
route prior to July 4. Trees were
trimmed and branches were clipped
on the walking trail. The motor on
the pools main pump burnt out
twice, and the cause of this is un-
known. The municipal pool was
closed a couple days while the
problem was addressed. Work was
also done on the storm sewer.
Water tower painting
Theobald said the water tower
painting project is set to begin in
two weeks. The street will be closed
south of the Main Street tower, as
will the parking lane on Main Street.
Homeowners in the vicinity and
the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency have been notified of the
pending project.
Policing report
Goodhue County Deputy Tom
Wolner attended the council meet-
ing to provide an update. Wolner
said deputies have been working
with the city administrator on ci-
tation issues that need to be ad-
dressed around town. The events
on July 4 went well, he said, with
the exception of a few instances
of fireworks being tossed at depu-
ties. Wolner said overall things
have been going well in
Wanamingo this summer. He also
introduced new deputy Aaron
Mosher to the council. Mosher has
been riding with experienced depu-
ties during the last several months
to become acquainted with the area
and learn the routine.
Candidate filing period
Open filing for candidacy for
elected office is July 29 through
August 12. Four terms on the coun-
cil are set to expire at the end of
2014: those of Mayor Ryan Holmes
and councilors Larry
VanDeWalker, Danny Benson, and
Jamie Majerus. Positions on the
ballot will be for a two-year term
for mayor, two four-year terms
for council, and a special election
for the councilor position that
Majerus has held by appointment.
Individuals interested in filing as
a candidate must complete the
necessary affidavit at city hall and
pay the filing fee during the filing
period.
The council approved election
judges for the primary and gen-
eral election: Jean Rugg, Michael
Boulton, Marlene Malerich, Morris
Hjermstad, Patricia Irrthum, Pat
Flom, Shannon Schaefer, Anne
Anderson, Tarla Luna, and Kevin
Jacobson.
Other business
The liquor license for JBs Tav-
ern was originally set up in the
name Hometown Wine & Spirits
LLC, and doing business as JBs
Tavern. With the business filings
more formally established, owner
Barney Nesseth requested the coun-
cil now transfer the license to JBs
Tavern, Inc. A motion by Danny
Benson to approve this carried 5-
0.
Several building permits were
approved: re-roofing permits for
Ed Glestad, Jim Kittelson, Trin-
ity Lutheran Church, and Mary
Haugen; a deck, addition, and fence
for Merlin Ring/Barney Nesseth;
a deck for Les Perrett; and a new
air conditioner for Nick Hall.
A public hearing will be held
on Monday, July 28, at 7 p.m. in

evening of the annual meeting to
discuss the budget for the coming
year. The meeting is open to the

PI Legion team keeps season alive
By Faye Haugen
CANNON FALLS The Pine
Island American Legion baseball
team kept their 2014 summer sea-
son alive by winning a pair of games
in the elimination bracket at the
3rd District Division III Ameri-
can Legion Baseball Tournament
in Cannon Falls.
The Panthers opened the tour-
nament with a 4-0 loss to Plato in
the opening round. They bounced
back for a 4-1 win over Jordan in
their second game on Saturday.
Returning to Cannon Falls on Sun-
day, the Panthers topped LeSueur-
Henderson 8-2.
Pine Island will now play a foe
to be determined on Friday, July
25 at 7 p.m. at John Birch Park in
Cannon Falls. The Panthers need
to keep winning to keep their sea-
son alive in the double-elimina-
tion playoffs.
Plato
Pine Island ran into very good
pitching in a 4-0 loss to Plato. The
Panthers earned just one hit in the
loss, a single by Aaron Gilland in
the third inning. Lefty Cole Peter-
son struck out 10 Panthers and
walked four in the win.
Jordan Pin threw the first three
innings, striking out three, walk-
ing two and giving up three hits.
All three runs scored against Pin
were unearned as a pop-fly in the
infield was not caught. Plato took
advantage to score three times with
two out.
Matt Lien came on in the fourth
inning to strike out two, walk one,
strike out three and give up one
earned run.

and struck out eight in the win.
Cannon Falls
The Gold needed one of their
finest defensive efforts and came
through with a fine pitching per-

defeating Cannon Falls, 2-1 in
the championship. The Mudcats
were the defending Sr. Babe Ruth
Tournament champions, as they
had defeated the Gold for the

a pair of doubles in the first in-
ning to take a 1-0 lead. Braaten

game. He finished with a two-
hitter. He walked three, hit one
batter, and struck out one.
PI shortstop, Jacob Navratil,
made a crucial diving stop in the
bottom of the last inning and
flipped the ball to second base-
man, Drew Lohmeyer, to help
stop a potential game-tying rally.
On offense, the Golds Noah
Koenig was PIs top offensive
threat, as he went two for three,
and scored both PI runs. Koenig
led off the top of the fifth with a
long double and eventually scored
on a wild pitch to put the Gold
ahead for good. Derek Ruckers
double was the only other hit for
the Gold.

traveled to Stewartville to finish
the regular season. PI dominated

riety of pitchers to finish the regu-
lar season with a 13-6 league
record.
In the opener, the team won
handily, 18-0. Jacob Navratil
pitched the first two innings, as
he hit one batter and struck out
three for the win. Drew Lohm-
eyer struck out two in a perfect
inning, and Derek Rucker fin-
ished the no-hit game with a per-
fect last inning.

with three RBI, Derek Fall was

hmeyer was 2 for 3 with two
RBI, Jacob Navratil was 1 for 2

enzie got the win, with relief from
Broc Finstuen and Derek Rucker
as they combined for the 13-0
win. They walked five and struck
out six in the combined no-hit
effort. The team played error-
less ball throughout the double-
header sweep to go with the no-
hitters.
On offense, Braaten, Aakre,
and Finstuen each went 1 for 2
with two RBI to lead the offense.
Noah Koenig was 2 for 2 with

for 3 with three runs scored, and
