Zip Rail is moving forward fast

By Peter Grimsrud
The proposed high-speed rail
(Zip Rail) is closer to completion
with new public and private partnerships. Financial support from
the federal government has been
stepped up in an effort to close the
deal. A bill pending congressional
approval, called the Affordable Rail
Act (ARA), will appropriate government funds for high-speed rail
hubs in New York, Chicago, and
Los Angeles.
Midwest high-speed rail was
originally designed to connect
Chicago as a hub to surrounding
big league cities. Local deals
have been struck to secure each
leg from Minneapolis to Chicago,
because everyone along the way
wants a stop or significant compensation for the inconvenience
of dividing their counties and
municipalities. The Destination
Medical Center plan has diverted
the Zip Rail to stop in Rochester,
securing support from key players in the southeastern Minnesota
capital.
A large number of Goodhue and
Olmsted County citizens have been
vocal opponents of the Zip Rail.
They argue against the project
based on the overwhelming cost
relative to maintaining and upgrading Highway 52 and limiting access across the county and between
neighboring acreage all without any benefit to local residents.
Zip Rail representatives claim
that it will provide an alternative
high-speed green transportation solution for the future. They have
filed claims with the Minnesota
State Attorney General against
actions by seasoned anti-wind

opponents and Goodhue County
volunteer firemen.
The claim accuses Zip Rail opponents of baiting eagles on roads
and fields in the proposed path of
the high-speed train. They point
to a 500% increase of road kill
and trap sales at local hardware
stores. Presence of the sacred national symbol effectively stopped
the recent wind energy plan in
Goodhue County.
The claim also seeks to stop the
endless parading of firetrucks crisscrossing the county. Local firemen have been honking horns and
throwing candy to rural residents
in a show of goodwill that is typically reserved for city festivals.
The fire departments filed a counter
claim that limiting access across
the county by the Zip Rail will
interfere with their outreach program and hurt the local economys
candy shops and dental offices.
Kenyon-Wanamingo Schools
has expressed the most concern at
having their school district split
in two. The Knights are currently
looking at alternative measures to
preserve their school district, including erecting a castle wall connecting the two sites, modeled after the Great Wall of China. Pull
tabs would provide seed money
for the project with the balance
being paid off by ticket sales to
walk the new national landmark.
Many services are looking to
partner with the Zip Rail. The U.S.
Postal Service is seeking to copy
their Fast Mail program that
partnered with Amtrak from Boston to Washington D.C. The postal
service has closed most regional

mail centers in favor of large hubs,
but this plan would allow the Zip
Rail to scoop up mail pods at
rural stations without stopping. The
long-term hope is that passengers
may be picked up from rural stations and delivered in human
pods to metro destinations for
shopping, education, and medical
care.
The Zip Rail is attempting to
brand itself as fast. In addition to
the postal services Fast Mail,
they have enlisted the help of chain
stores like McDonalds and Las
Vegas casinos to provide fast food,
fast money, and fast women. They
expect each of these ventures to
be hugely profitable with male
executives. A cosmetology car will
be available for women.
With Chicago as the Zip Rail
hub, criminals in Chicago have
been promised sanctuary by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel,
former Obama White House Chief
of Staff, if they execute their crimes
in the other Midwest metropolitan cities. It appears Emanuel and
Obama have teamed up again to
eliminate the crime and shootings
in Chicago that have given them a
black eye in recent years. Their
plan is similar to how the 1930s
gangsters John Dillinger, Ma
Barker, and Babyface Nelson used
St. Paul as a hideout with local
police looking the other way as
long as their crimes were committed elsewhere.
St. Paul, citing its rich history
of hiding criminals as a means of
crime prevention, has decided to
vie for bringing the criminal cen-

ter back to the Twin Cities. They

are enlisting Governor Dayton to
include money for a gangster hideout along the Zip Rail in a bill that
already includes funds for a new
soccer stadium. The new homeless soccer franchise is said to be
happy for any additional support
to build another publicly funded
stadium.
U.S. Senate Republicans are supporting St. Pauls criminal center
proposal in an effort to block the
president from always getting his
way. Obama is accusing Republicans of just being the party of
no. But Republicans have fired
Pesta offered KW superintendent position

By Alicia Hunt-Welch
WANAMINGO Jeff Pesta was
unanimously selected by the
Kenyon-Wanamingo School
Board to assume the new superintendent position, replacing the late
Jeff Evert. It was unknown prior
to the deadline for printing if Pesta
accepted the job.
In the search for a new superintendent, the KW Board narrowed
a field of sixteen candidates down
to six to interview for the position
and then held two rounds of interviews. The first round of interviews was March 19-20.
Candidates interviewed were:

Following the first round of interviews on March 20 at 9 p.m.,
the board met until 11:30 p.m. rating the candidates on their inter-
100
view responses and discussing who

to ask back for second round interviews. Rating input was collected from school board members Doug Kyllo, Marilyn
Syverson, Jeremy Lerfald, Greg
Dotson, Debb Paquin, Jennifer
Smith, Karla Bauer, K-6 Principal Matt Ryan, district business
manager Kathy Flikke, and administrative assistant to the superintendent Linda Thoreson.
Building and Grounds Supervisor Paul Clauson also gave each
candidate a tour of the elementary
building and provided his impressions of each candidate. Although
the interviews were open to the
public, the board did not ask for
input on the candidates from school
staff members or the others in attendance.
After ranking the candidates
twice and holding further discussions, a compromise was reached
to ask Gary Anger, Cheri Kulland,
and Jeff Pesta to return on March
25 for the second round of interviews.
After Kulland, Anger, and Pesta
completed their second interviews,
Gary Kuphal and Bruce Klaehn,
the consultants the district hired
to aid in the superintendent search,
opened the floor to comments from
school staff members and parents
in attendance. Following this,
Flikke, Thoreson, Clauson, and
Principal Ryan were asked to share
their input on the candidates. The
board members each then privately
ranked each finalist. After further
discussion, a motion was made by
Debb Paquin to invite Pesta to stay
on as the permanent superintendent of KW School. The motion,
seconded by Jennifer Smith, carried 7-0.
After the public left the meeting, the school board remained to
discuss the salary to offer for the
position. These negotiations are
still under way.

Obama countered that he wasnt

Rail will circumvent the state of
Indiana after angry protests by gay
rights activists. The disagreement
stems from a new state law that

allows merchants not to serve gays
if its against their religious beliefs. Even pro-gay states are now
responding with their own religious freedom legislation to avoid
paying for Obama Rail. Minnesota has threatened to pull its support for gays if it doesnt receive
criminal center funding.

The anarchy of the environmentalist

From
Devils
Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher
Environmentalists tell us that

the only way to fix our air (remove carbon compounds) is to stop
the processes producing the carbon compounds. These compounds are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methane (natural gas). What they dont tell us is
what processes will replace the
bad processes and allow us to
continue living in our current
manner. The point being we dont
have well-developed good processes to replace the bad ones.
A second part of the problem is
a world population of 6-7 billion
people. 2.5 billion people live in
two nations, China, and India. We
would like to believe that their
standard of living is far below ours.
The reality is that they are catching up and their main tool is the
generation of electricity. Just as
we do, they burn coal and oil to

heat water to make stream to turn
turbines to generate electricity.
Wind and solar power can generate less than 20% of the electricity needed worldwide. This
creates a couple of questions. If
we shut down all of the generators
being turned by bad processes, how
do we replace 80% of our power
production with 20%? Who gets
the 20% good power? Do we go to
war to destroy other nations populations to reduce their need? Do
we look at our neighbors and attack them so that some of us can
watch the football, baseball, basketball, and soccer games on our
TVs, drinking beer and relaxing.
But if we turn off the bad processes, we wont have TV, or these
various games. We wont have the
beer either. The list of things and
activities we would lose would be
almost everything. We have an
insane concept that everyone else
will give up their power and let us
have it.
All forms of government would
break down. We would lose law
and order and our way of life. The
world would descend in anarchy.

But we do have solutions without
shutting down our lives. We need
new processes to remove carbon
compounds from the air and split
the compounds into their separate
atomic elements. We need to improve the design and function of
solar and wind processes to allow
the cost to drop and the efficiency
to increase. We need to use the
solar and wind power, not in our
power grid, but in the new processes of removing carbon compounds. Here is why we need
these new processes, and not just
for cleaning up the coal and oil
burning. Other fuels also burn and
they produce the carbon compounds and other bad pollutants
into the air. Wood fires release
more than just carbon compounds.
Think on that while you sit in front
of the fireplace, your campfire and
so on.
The environmentalist who is
really an anarchist needs to be told
to bring solutions to the table and
not just shut down coal and oil
production plants as the only solution to save the world. Until next
week.
Maggie the Magnolia

As
The Worm
Turns
By Jeanne Truestedt
The familiar, Bloom where you

are planted is a fairly common
expression from earlier years when
adaptability was considered a virtue. In the garden one often sees
astounding things happen in the
plant kingdom when environmental challenges are not only encountered, but overcome with chutzpah.
The annual Daytons/Bachmans
spring flower show featured magnolias growing in the confines of
the eight floor auditorium floral
extravaganza. They were magnificently fragrant little bushes that
spoke of instant springtime in the
cold dark reality of our Minnesota winter.The notion of a southern belle growing on the winter
tundra appealed to a warped sense
of irony, but it was the challenge
of growing such beauty in the gar-
den that started the search for one.

Thanks to an end of season sale,
Maggie the Magnolia was located,
packed up, and planted before the
first snowfall. On the north side
of the house, protected by two
boulders and a six inch blanket of
worm compost seemed the ideal
way to put her down for a long
winter nap.
According to her tag and instruction sheet, Maggie would remain a semi-compact bush reaching six feet at maturity. Shed bloom
in early spring and develop leaves
after the bloom cycle, which could
last an entire week. Of course, that
was only speculation since they
were only marginally hardy above
zone 5, and we were then zone 3.
Maggie definitely performed as
predicted that first spring. The
intoxicating fragrance made her
the belle of the neighborhood. But
she exceeded all expectations by
blooming a second time in the fall!
Concerned about her hardiness, I
continued to mulch her heavily
before winter and hoped for heavy
snow cover to keep her roots protected. After all, if the roots were
alive, she could always sprout new
branches even with winter die back.

When Maggie reached six feet
tall she had three main branches
that seemed impervious to die back
and gave her a rather elegant form
that embraced the corner of the
porch. By the time she topped ten
feet it became apparent she wasnt
going to meet anyones expectations but her own. She even tolerated our below zero temperatures
better than most native Minnesotans!
Today Maggie rules the skies at
over thirty feet with all the regal
splendor at her disposal. Her elegant beauty turns heads, stops
cars in their tracks, and causes her
fans to visit every spring when
shes blooming. Everything about
her exceeded expectations, and she
still manages to surprise us with
unexpected fall flowers upon occasion, seeding saplings in the
woods, and sporting snow frosting on her delicate blooms in April.
Now thats adaptability with chutzpah!
All that causes me to wonder if
we humans couldnt do likewise
if we were content to bloom where
were planted.
Investing $7 billion into roads and

bridges without raising taxes
Capitol
Comments
By Tim Kelly
MN Rep. District 21A
Last November, we heard a

strong message from Minnesotans
particularly from Greater Minnesota who told us they wanted
to see road and bridge improvements. Our Minnesota House
Transportation Finance Committee was challenged with crafting a
long-range plan that addressed this
challenge and did so without raising anyones taxes.
This week, legislative Republicans unveiled a proposal that invests $7 billion into needed road
and bridge repair without raising
taxes. Personally, I am happy to
have had the opportunity to help
put together the fiscally responsible Road and Bridge Act of 2015,
which will do so much good for
the State of Minnesota.
Under this proposal, the State
of Minnesota would repurpose
revenue that is already being collected from existing sales taxes
on auto parts, the Motor Vehicle
Lease sales tax, the rental vehicle
tax and the sales tax on rental vehicles.
By placing these revenue streams

estimated at $3.078 billion over

the next ten years in a newly
created Transportation Stability
Fund, Minnesota would not only
provide new money for roads and
bridges statewide, but also for small
city roads, bus services in Greater
Minnesota, suburban county highways, and metro area capital improvements.
Making this change would dedicate $1.44 billion for county roads,
$583 million for municipal roads,
and $282 million for roads in towns
with fewer than 5,000 residents.
In addition to the dedicated funds
provided by the Transportation
Stability Fund, the proposal would
also utilize $1.3 billion in Trunk
Highway bonds, $1.2 billion from
realigning Minnesota Department
of Transportation resources, $1.05
billion in General Obligation
bonds, and $228 million in General Funds.
In other words, a $7 billion investment in roads and bridges
without any tax increases.
Compare this with the transportation idea brought forward by
Governor Dayton and other legislative Democrats. Their plan raises
taxes and fees on Minnesotans by
$9 billion, including a tax that
would ultimately cost drivers a
minimum of 17 cents per gallon
more at the pump.
That means a couple in the metro
area with two cars could expect to
pay $600 more per year under the
governors gas tax proposal. If
youre a driver in Greater Minnesota, youre also projected to pay
at least $180 more per year and
that number increases every time
the price of gas rises.

A recent poll found 75 percent
of respondents favored the legislative Republican road and bridge
funding approach, and a recent
Minnesota Public Radio story
noted that some DFL lawmakers
either arent sure the state needs
to raise new revenue for transportation or said the GOP plan looks
like the better deal.
From the beginning, I disagreed
with the governors approach to
raise taxes at a time when Minnesota has a $2 billion budget surplus at its disposal. Now its clear
that theres bipartisan legislative
opposition to the governors plan
with only partisan support.
It is my hope that Governor
Dayton will soon begin a dialogue
with lawmakers on a road and
bridge funding proposal that an
overwhelming majority of Minnesotans actually support. I truly
dont see how anyone could find
negatives with a solution that was
created through responsible management using existing state revenue.
In all, the Road and Bridge Act
of 2015 would repair or replace
15,500 lane miles of roads and
330 bridges statewide.
With this bill, legislative Republicans have offered a workable, common sense solution to
our transportation funding debate.
We were able to prioritize roads
and bridges in a manner that does
not raid the pocketbooks of Minnesotans, and we look forward to
working with Governor Dayton
on a fiscally responsible proposal
in the weeks ahead.
Mocking the hand that feeds you

To the Editor:
I attended the Minnesota House
Transportation and Policy Committee hearing on Representative
Steve Drazkowskis bill HF920
(Zip Rail funding) last Wednesday night, March 25, and was truly
saddened to see some state representatives on one side of the table
roll their eyes and make mocking
faces during Pine Island dairy producer Duane Albertss testimony
of how public (MnDOT, Olmsted
County, Rochester, and Pine Island) blessing of a private project
(Elk Run and the supporting infrastructures including a new Pine

Island School) has cost him ($140
per cow annually in property taxes)
and taxpayers in his community
plenty.
No one works harder than our
dairy men and women. No one
knows what its like to take on
financial risks like they do. I
thought DFL stood for FARMER/
Labor.
Ive not seen any support for
Zip Rail from either farmers or
laborers. With no stops along the
corridor, and purported round-trip

fares of $70, I dont believe there
will be. Just like in the Hunger
Games, we commoners who produce the food in Zip-through country arent in the same class. It appears only the elites on both ends,
the President Snows, are being
considered. Perhaps there should
be a name change: Democrats Financed by Laborers.

Legal battle over public records

To the Editor:
Mazeppa City Attorney Steven
L. Erwin loses legal battle over
public data. Why did Erwin have
a private citizen charged with stalking just for requesting some public data? And why did the Wabasha
County Attorney get on board with
such a frivolous claim? A citizen
made a request for public data from
the city attorney. After repeated
requests for data, paying for copies to be made, and patiently waiting over a year for the data, he was
thoroughly ignored. So he made

one more request. What did he get
for his efforts? The city attorney
had him charged with stalking,
and for good measure, claimed the
citizen had filed a false theft report as well. This battle to keep
public records hidden from the
public went before District Court
Judge N. L. Buytendorp who saw
it for the frivolous yet aggressive
charge it was and dismissed it all.
This was a totally legitimate request for public records, properly
made, that any citizen in the county

would be fully within their rights
to request.
These are public records. So what
information do they contain that
the Mazeppa City Attorney would
go to these lengths to keep them
hushed?
See court transcript 79-CR-14709 for complete details.

Repeal state mandate

To the Editor:
Minnesota law provides that,
starting this year, all health care
providers, including physicians and
psychotherapists, must use
interoperable electronic health
records (EHRs), which are accessible on the Internet through passwords. We have all heard in the
news about external breaches of
Internet security, as well as those
from within a company or system. Some psychotherapy patients
have stated that they will quit psychotherapy rather than risk having their information in EHRs.
Some other patients will continue
treatment, but will be reluctant to
divulge some information that they
would otherwise share. This makes
it more difficult to provide appropriate treatment. Further, I know
therapists who are strongly considering retiring to avoid having
to use EHRs.
Of course, health care provid-
ers and patients who want EHRs

should be able to use them. However, providers and patients should
have a choice.
It is not too late to repeal this
mandate. To protect the privacy
of your medical records, please
ask your state representative and
senator to repeal the mandate, thus
allowing patients and health care
providers the choice to opt out of
EHRs.

Wabasha County Dairy Princesses

to be crowned April 11
ORONOCO The Wabasha
County American Dairy Association will host the 62nd annual Dairy
Princess Coronation and Banquet
at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April
11, 2015, at Fishermans Inn in
Oronoco. Running for Dairy Princess are Kallie Baker of Plainview,
Caroline Rother of Theilman, and
Kirsten Marie Woodhull of Lake
City.
The daughter of Bruce and
Natalie Wood, Baker currently
resides on her familys dairy farm,
Maple Breeze Diary. They have
Holsteins and Brown Swiss as well
as a few crossbreds. Her favorite
thing to do is help feed calves as
well as train her cattle for showing at the county fair each summer. Living on the farm has taught
Kallie a lot about hard work and
has taught her a lot of skills that
will help her later in life. This
fall, she will be attending Iowa
State University majoring in animal science/pre-vet. Baker hopes
to become a large animal veterinarian someday. What excites
her most about becoming a dairy
princess is getting the chance to

program. Her future plans include

working at JM Dairy, and possibly pursuing an education in hoof
trimming for cattle in the next few
years. Rother enjoyed growing up
in a rural community but her favorite thing about working on the
farm is all the connections she
has made throughout the community and also through her time at
Madison. What excites her the most
about being a dairy princess is
promoting an understanding of
dairy farming and clearing up
misconceptions about the lifestyle.
She is sponsored by Wingert Sales
and Service, Plainview.
Woodhull is the daughter of Jim
and Bobbi Wright. At the Wright
Farm, they milk cows, do field
work, and some custom field work
for surrounding farms. The thing
she like most about farm life is
the family aspect of it all. Woodhull
is currently in her second year of
college to become an occupational
therapist and hopes to one
day be working at Mayo Clinic in
Rochester. She is very excited to
be a dairy princess and helping

spread more awareness of dairy
farms and knowledge of anything
dairy. She is sponsored by
NutriflexAg Nutrition Services.
Princess candidates are judged
on their communication skills,
personality, enthusiasm for dairy
promotion and general knowledge
of the dairy industry.
The Wabasha County Dairy
Princesses participate in many
activities throughout the county
during their reign, especially during the June Dairy Month. The
Wabasha County American Dairy
Association awards scholarships
to the princesses as well as reimbursement for their many appearances.
The dairy princesses will also
be eligible to attend a statewide
Dairy Promotion Training Seminar in St. Cloud in May. All of
them will compete to be one of
twelve finalists for the Princess

Lunchtime Solutions presents
ZM student survey results
MAZEPPA Food Service
Manager Brian Wright reported
the results of the Lunchtime Solutions student survey to the Zumbrota-Mazeppa School Board on
March 23.
Wright said this year the students input was not as favorable
as last year. He expected students
to rate items higher the first year
because the comparison was with
the past food service. On a 0-5
scale, most of their ratings averaged between 3 and 4.
On average 800 students eat
school lunch daily. 600 of these
students in elementary, middle,
and high school completed a survey. About 70% of ZM students
purchase lunch at school. The count
falls when students are out of the
district for tournaments and field
trips.
One improvement Wright highlighted is the relationship of food
service staff with the students.
Students at all grade levels rated
this item above a 4. Students indicated that hot foods are hot, cold
foods are cold, and there is a variety of nutritious food choices.
Based on the student responses,
he said some students still want
more time to eat and more to eat.
The students can have unlimited servings from the fruit and
vegetable bar. The food service
joined the Department of Defense
Fresh Food Program to offer students more fresh fruits and vegetables.
In April, Wright will present
Lunchtime Solutions projections
for next year.
district.
Simons said work has begun on
the finances for the budget. 20052014 were compared. In the
rougher financial times the district struggled to save an unassigned general fund balance. When
other districts cut programs and
staff, the district did not. Zumbrota-Mazeppa stayed committed
to our mission, he said.
Last year the fund balance was
only $138,000, Simons said.
With the referendum and increases
in aid, we are recovering. We stayed
the course, but need to build our
fund balance now. He recommended keeping the insurance that
the district bid out for this year.
Simons recognized Viking Coca
Cola and the Powerade 4U program for bringing $2,938.54 of
donations into the district since
2010. This year the check was for
$1,088.90. The funds come from
after school beverage machine
purchases and the concession stand.
The funds are used for the weight
room.

Zumbrota areas response to the call of Civil War

By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA April 9 will
mark the 150th anniversary of
General Robert E. Lee surrendering his Confederate Army to General Ulysses S. Grant at Virginias
Appomattox Court House. President Abraham Lincoln would die
the morning of April 15 after being shot the evening before.
Total casualty estimates have
ranged from 620,000 to 700,000
as a result of combat, accident,
starvation, and disease during the
Civil War. If using the lower estimate, it was only as recently as
the Vietnam War that the amount
of American deaths in foreign wars
surpassed the number who died in
the Civil War. The response to
serve from the Zumbrota and surrounding area was high. Not all
survived.
A new state and two wars
The village of Zumbrota was

established in 1856. Minnesota
attained statehood on May 11,
1858, less than three years before
Confederate forces fired upon Fort
Sumter in South Carolina on April
12, 1861, beginning the war.
Within a week, six men from
Zumbrota answered the call for
volunteers and joined others from
the surrounding communities in
Red Wing. One hundred and four
men made up the unit called the
Goodhue Volunteers that became
Company F of the First Minnesota. William Colvill of Red Wing
was elected captain and A. E.
Welch first lieutenant.
Among the members of Company F was 24-year-old Amos G.
Scofield of Roscoe. He was one
of eight members of Company F
who perished in the battle of Bull
Run. Corporal Scofield managed
to walk to a hospital in Alexandria after being hit by a musketball,
but died several days later on August 18, 1861.
More men from the area con-
tinued to muster into the army in

1861-62. But, in 1862, Minnesotas
own civil war began. The conflict
was between the United States and
several bands of the eastern Sioux
(also known as eastern Dakota). It
began on August 17, 1862, in southwest Minnesota near the Minnesota River. The 9th and 10th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiments, which were still being constituted, had troops dispatched to
the front as soon as companies
were formed. During the next several months, battles raged on between the Dakota and settlers and
then the United States Army. This
tragic time in Minnesotas history
ended with a mass execution of
38 Dakota men on December 26,
1862, in Mankato.
After the conflict with the Dakota subsided, the attention of the
Minnesota volunteers switched to
the war with the Confederacy. All
ten infantry regiments contained
men from Goodhue County, and
they fought in numerous battles.
The First Minnesota Regiment,
which included some Zumbrotans,
distinguished themselves with
honor at the Battle of Gettysburg,
fighting under Colonel Colvilles
command.
Zumbrota is credited with 48
enlistments in the Civil War. According to Frederick L. Johnsons
book, Goodhue County Minnesota: A Narrative History,
Goodhue County had a population of less than 9,000 before the
start of the war, yet sent 1,508
into service. One hundred twentytwo died in battle or of wounds or
disease. In total, more than 24,000
Minnesota soldiers fought in the
war.
Besides Amos Scofield, two
others from Zumbrota perished in
service. After his brothers death,
George S. Scofield went to Red
Wing and joined Company D of

the 4th Minnesota Regiment Volunteer Infantry. He was mustered

in on October 10, 1861. George
was taken prisoner by the Confederates in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and died two years later
on December 8, 1863, from illness at the age of 23. George Reeves
of Company D, 10th Minnesota,
was killed in battle at Nashville,
Tennessee, on December 18, 1864.
A monument in his memory was
placed in the Zumbrota Cemetery.
George Scofield maintained a
personal diary from 1856 to November 1863. A typed, transcribed
version is available to review at
the Zumbrota Area History Center along with other Civil War
memorabilia, photographs and
newspaper clippings.
Scofield Post 121
On September 9, 1884, a meeting was held for the purpose of

organizing a post of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The GAR
was a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union
Army who had served in the Civil
War. In addition to bringing the
men together, bonded by shared
memories and experiences in the
Civil War, its purpose was to aid
disabled veterans, widows, and
orphans of veterans.
The name Scofield Post 121
was adopted on September 24 in
honor of the two Scofield brothers, Amos G. Scofield and George
S. Scofield.
In 2011, Zumbrota Boy Scout

Eagle Scout project by restoring

Civil War GAR grave markers in
the town cemetery. At the time,
Renken explained that area Civil
War soldiers buried in the cemetery have cast iron star markers
by their graves signifying that they
had belonged to Scofield Post 121.
Renkens project consisted of
removing and restoring thirty and
replacing eight of the markers. Each
of the markers was cataloged according to location in the cemetery, sandblasted, and refinished
before installing it back to its original gravesite.
Following the project, a Civil
War grave re-dedication ceremony
was carried out by the Third Minnesota Volunteer Infantry
Reenactors to honor the Civil War
veterans. The ceremony coincidently was held at the gravesite of

Charles Leach, the great-greatgreat-grandfather of another Scout,
Joshua Lyon, who obtained his
Eagle Award at the same time as
Renken. Leach, a charter member
of Scofield Post 121, was the last
surviving member of the post,
passing away at the age of 94 on
October 8, 1937. Leach, who came
to Minnesota in August, 1865, was
also the last Civil War veteran to
die in Goodhue County. His obituary described his four years of
service in the Civil War. Leach
had enlisted in Booneville, New
York, in April 1861 in the 97th
New York Infantry and saw service in 21 major engagements with
this regiment.
Drum was played at Lincolns inauguration and funeral

By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA As the 150th
anniversary of the end of the Civil
War approaches, it is timely to
reflect on the impact of the
Goodhue County area on events
of the 1860s. One tangible item
that remains from the Civil War is
a drum that is said to not only
have been played at twenty Civil
War battles, but also at President
Abraham Lincolns second inauguration on March 4, 1865, and at
his funeral procession following
his April 15 assassination.
The drum was played by Louis
Abend, a soldier who served as
drummer during the Civil War and
settled in Zumbrota Township after the war in 1866. The drum has
been displayed at the Zumbrota
Area History Center since 2007.
Story of Louis Abend
The history of Ernst Louis Abend

(known as Louis; sometimes
spelled as Lewis) was thoroughly
researched and documented a number of years ago by Donald H. Firl
and further documented by Wayne
Diercks in 2010. Emigration
records, documentation from the
National Archives, records stored
at the Lincoln Memorial, newspaper stories from the 1800s, and
family documents and pictures
were all used to piece together the
Civil War veterans life and to
verify his military history.
Abend was born in 1832 in the
German province of Prussia, and
he came to America in 1850. He
enlisted in the 5th U.S. Cavalry at
San Antonio, Texas, in 1857 for a
term of five years. He transferred
to the band of the 5th U.S. Cavalry and was discharged at Harpers
Ferry, Virginia, on September 28,
1862.
Abend then served two additional enlistments: nine months
with the 165th Pennsylvania, Company A, where he again served as
a drummer, and then with the 16th
N.Y. Cavalry in New York City,
serving until the end of the war,
retiring on September 21, 1865.
During the war, Abend met two
people who would move with him
to Minnesota and the Zumbrota
area. During his enlistment in Pennsylvania in 1863, Abend was in-
jured after being thrown from his

horse that was hit by a cannonball. Harriet Crowley was the company nurse who cared for him.
They were married in August of
1863. Abend met Jacob Fredrich
(known as Adolf Hoff in military
records), the bugler with the 16th
N.Y. Cavalry, and the two became
good friends. After the war, Louis
and Harriet lived a short time in
Red Wing before moving to a farmstead near Zumbrota. Fredrich
joined them in farming in Zumbrota Township.
Role of drummer
Civil War drummers established

communications and kept order
among the units in the field. Specific calls designated specific activities: Three Camps was reveille (wake-up call); Tattoo
meant end of day. Commence
Firing, Quick Step, Advance,
and Retreat were other common
action calls for the infantry soldier. One statistic states that over
32,000 regulation drums were
manufactured from 1861-65 for
the Union Army alone. Drummers
and buglers did not carry weapons, but did become involved in The Abend drum is on display at the Zumbrota History Center. April 15,
the action at times, with some 2015, marks the 150th anniversary of President Abraham Lincolns
assassination. Louis Abend was stationed with the 16th N.Y. Cavalry
meeting death.
Abends war experiences
Louis Abend and his drum were

present at many of the famous Civil
War battles. He spoke of the twenty
battles during his time in Zumbrota as well as the names of the
prominent generals and soldiers
he had become acquainted with.
Some folks were skeptical of his
claims, such as having played at
the procession for the second inauguration of President Lincoln
and again the following month at
Lincolns funeral.
To quell any further skepticism
about Abend and his drum, letters
were sent to the National Archives
to check his military and pension
files prior to Zumbrotas centennial celebration in 1956. Documentation verified that Abend had
been to these locations at the times
he had spoken of: battles of Falling Water, Centerville, Yorktown,
Williamsburg, Mechanicsville,
Seven Pines, Hanover Station, Fair
Oaks, Chickamauga, Gaines Mill,
Louis Abend served as a drummer

throughout much of the Civil War
and was present at twenty battles
as well as the second inauguration
of President Lincoln and his funeral
procession in Washington D.C. He
and his wife Harriet moved to the
Zumbrota area following the war.

extensive, about 30 pages, and
Flikke said it is difficult to take in.
Pesta had requested a proposal from
the company for a la carte services they could provide to the
district. He recommended the composite planning tools for long-term
budget forecasting, saying It
makes us more efficient.

On March 13, the day of Jeff

Everts memorial service, elementary school students wore red
Knights shirts in honor of his dedication to the district. K-6 Principal Matt Ryan said It was a sea of
red here that day. Pesta said many
staff, students, and community
members helped in preparation for
hosting the memorial service that
evening.
On March 13 the third graders
attended a play at the Rochester
Childrens Theater a KW thirdgrader was a cast member. Ryan
recognized elementary media center specialist Roxy Rolstad for
decorating the media center with
the Under the Sea theme, noting she created all the decorations
on her own time for the elementary book fair. KAAL TV was at
the school on March 17 to present
an Excellent Educator award to
fourth grade teacher Kevin Anderson. On March 18 select staff attended the Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS)

their parents to plan for high school
classes. On March 25 all students
had to be registered for classes for
next year.
An American College Testing
(ACT) service is going to take place
at KW during the school day on
April 28. Juniors will take testing
to submit for entry to colleges of
their choice. The eleventh graders will be isolated in the middle
school gym as part of the testing
requirements. Sophomores will be
on a field trip that day. Pesta said
this is a nice opportunity for students, as they normally need to go
to other specified testing sites. He

said students taking the ACT should
be well rested and come prepared
to do their best.
Other business
Due to the recent snow day, a

Volunteers needed for Cheese Fest

By Janet Hanke
Cheese Fest Committee
People make up towns and cities, states and countries. And there
is nothing better than people coming together for a cause that everyone believes in. Every year for
the past 79 years (except for a few
years during World War II), Pine
Island has come together to host
the Pine Island Cheese Festival. It
is a grand opportunity to celebrate
that which made our town famous
and brought so many of our forefathers to this area dairy farming and cheese making. It is a
chance for those of us who live
here to celebrate our hard work,
thank our community and show
off a bit for those who come to
visit.
Well, that time is coming again.
On the weekend of June 5, 6 and
7, Pine Island will get to show off
all we have to offer. Cheese Festival is a monumental event to ar-
range and you may be surprised to

know it is organized and executed
by a fairly small committee. The
weekend has so much to offer and
there are simply more events going on than there are committee
members to coordinate. So, we
are asking for your help. If you
would like to volunteer to help
out at any of the events going on
the weekend of Cheese Festival,
we would love to have you.
So what can I do, you might
ask? Well, here is just a partial list
of events going on this year at the
Cheese Festival: Kids Day, canoe
and kayak races, street dances, fireworks, Wine and Cheese Gala, craft
show, Kiddie Parade, Grand Parade, welcome booth, and so much
more!

at all of these events. As you know,

PINE ISLAND The Pine Island High School National Honor

Society and the Pine Island Lions
recently completed a shoe drive for
the Soles4Souls organization.
Last fall, Lions Club President
Jeff Schroeder contacted high school
councilor Sarah Garcia with the idea
of joining together for the project.
A late winter timeline was discussed.
A brief meeting with Honor Society members confirmed their support.
The in-school drive for shoes took
place from February 16 through
March 2. The effort resulted in the
collection of approximately one thousand pairs of shoes that were delivered to a collection point in Osseo
by the Lions.
Soles4Souls is a global not-forprofit institution dedicated to fighting the devastating impact and perpetuation of poverty. The organiza-
tion advances its antipoverty mission by collecting new and used shoes
and clothes from individuals,
schools, faith-based institutions,
civic organizations, and corporate
partners. It then distributes those
shoes and clothes both via direct
donations to people in need and by
provisioning qualified micro-enterprise programs that are designed to
create jobs in poor and disadvantaged communities.
Lion Jeff Schroeder remarked,
When our club learned of this organization and heard that the collection point in Minnesota was started
by a high school student, as a former
teacher I felt that it would be an
excellent opportunity for a cooperative project between the Lions
and the school. When I contacted
Ms. Garcia about the possibility she
said that she was looking for a service project for the National Honor
Society. It worked out really well.
The students did a great job organizing and collecting shoes. We

needed a horse trailer to haul them
up to Osseo.

Plan aims to educate community

on effects of secondhand smoke
Submitted by Goodhue County
Health and Human Services
Educating the community about
the dangers of secondhand smoke
will be the primary focus of an
initiative launched by Four Corners Partnership.
Many people still dont understand that secondhand smoke is
not just an annoyance, but a serious health hazard that causes premature death and disease in children and nonsmoking adults, said
Tom Wolff of Goodhue County
Health & Human Services. We
have known since 2006 that there
is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.
Four Corners Partnership is one
of nine organizations participating in a coordinated media effort
by the Minnesota Department of
Health. The plan debuted last
month with radio ads on KOWZ-
FM and KDHL-AM and newspaper ads, as well as ads on billboards and public transit. Elements
of the campaign will continue into
August.
The ads in Dodge, Goodhue,
Rice and Steele Counties feature
an image of a childs inhaler and
note that 26,000 kids get asthma
each year from secondhand smoke.
Asthma is only one of the serious
diseases that are caused or made
worse by being exposed to secondhand smoke.
We were very fortunate to receive special funding from the
Minnesota Department of Health
that made this ad campaign possible, Wolff said. We hope the
day will come soon when all of
our children can grow up in a
healthy environment that is free
from secondhand smoke. The
Four Corners Partnership has been
working with area landlords to help
them adopt 100 percent smokefree policies for their multi-family buildings.
When one person smokes, everyone in the building smokes,
Wolff said. No one should have
to breathe secondhand smoke in
their own home. This includes
our community members who rent
their homes in multi-family buildings.
The Four Corners Partnership
is a project of the public health
departments in Dodge, Goodhue,
Rice and Steele counties to reduce the harm tobacco causes.
This includes promoting tobaccofree policies in multi-family housing and in parks and outdoor recreation facilities. Learn more at:
www.4cornerspartnership.org
Funded in part by a Tobacco-Free
Communities grant from the Minnesota Department of Health.

done? We're in just as big a mess now as
we've ever been."
Wesley looked at the big man with a dirty
face and said, "Don't you know that we've had
water for much longer than that but you've
still got a dirty face. You've got to use something before it works."
God has given you a measure of faith. For it
to be beneficial, it must be used.
Commit your life to the Lord, and He'll help
you to keep your body fit, your thoughts pure,
your words true and your life beautiful.

playing time are seniors: Clint Irrthum and Taylor Meeks; junior
Ryan Pelkey; and sophomores:
Carter Leninger, Matt Houglum and
Calvin Steberg.
The Knights graduated just two
seniors in Alex Roosen and Jared
Clawiter, but Roosen was KWs
top pitcher (1.19 ERA, 6-1 mound
record) and he led the team in hitting (.406 batting average with 32
RBI).
We have some experience at
the pitching and catching positions,
but we will be young in some spots.
But a lot of the younger kids played
a lot of American Legion ball last
summer, said Coach Randy Hockinson who begins his 27th year at
KW. Two of our returning starters, Ted Androli and Blake Jacob-
son will miss some of season as

they recover from injuries.
On the offensive side, Sathrum
hit .441 last season with 17 RBI;
Whipple hit .347 with 17 RBI; Jacobson hit .329 with 15 RBI; and
Gavin Roosen hit .325 with 15 RBI.
Sathrum is the leading pitcher
returning with a 1.71 ERA, 54
strikeouts and a 6-3 win-loss record.
Gavin Roosen had a 1.02 ERA and
a 1-3 mound record. Jacobson (0.52
ERA) and Sviggum (4.77 ERA)
also saw some mound action last
season.
Coach Hockinson looks for Lake
City, Cannon Falls and Pine Island to be the teams to beat in
HVL play, with Southland, Wabasha-Kellogg and Lyle/Pacelli as
the toughest teams in Section 1A.

The HVL competition is tough.
We will stride to improve as the
season progresses and be very competitive by playoff time, predicts
Coach Hockinson. We will need
to improve our offense and be
consistent on defense.
The Knights will open play on
Thursday when they host KassonMantorville at 5 p.m.

GOODHUE, MN 651-923-4492
By Faye Haugen
KENYON With a strong core
of players back from last years
15-8 squad, the Kenyon-Wanamingo baseball team has their sights
set on returning to the Section 1A
tournament. The Knights were a
pair of wins away from advancing
to the State Class A tournament.
Ten letterwinners return for the
2015 season in seniors: Drew Sathrum (HVL All Conference, All
West Section 1A) and Connor Sviggum; juniors: Jake Whipple (All
West Section 1A), Blake Jacobson (HVL All Conference), Jared
Clawiter, Luke Rechtzigel, Ethan
Benda and Ted Androli and sophomores: Gavin Roosen and Dylan
Craig.
Non-letterwinners battling for
ful rookie coach.

The Wildcats start the season
unproven on the mound, but senior
Logan Breuer returns for the third
year behind the plate at catcher,
giving Goodhue stability at that position.
We are pretty athletic and we
will build around that, remarked
Coach Christianson. He looks for
Pasch, Schumacher, Augustine,
Ronningen Kyllo and Gadient as
potential pitchers for the Cats.
With so many new faces in the
lineup, Coach Christianson points
out that the Wildcats will be a much
stronger team by the end of the
season. We hope our pitching is
strong and that our batting comes
around, he pointed out.
Cannon Falls and Kenyon-Wanamingo were the two top teams in
the HVL Blue Division last year,
Jack Gadient.
The Wildcats graduated four
players in Ben Ramboldt, Alex
Thomforde, Riley Bollum and Austin Buck. Thomforde and Bollum
handled much of the Wildcat pitching duties last season. Bollum also
led the Cats at the plate, hitting
.474. Buck started at first base and
Ramboldt in the outfield.
It should be an interesting season, said Coach Christianson. We
have some new players out that
are very athletic.
Like many area teams, Goodhue
was able to get a weeks work of
action outdoors before last weeks
snowstorm forced them back inside to practice. Practicing inside
makes it hard to tell where we are
at. We hope to get back outside
this week. We open play at Lake
City on Thursday, said the hope-
By Faye Haugen
GOODHUE The good news
for the Goodhue baseball program
is that the number of players out
this season is much improved, with
a number of upper classmen giving baseball a try this spring.

monogram winners are seniors:
Logan Breuer and Riley Augustine; juniors: CJ Hahn, Nathan Altendorf and Sam Kyllo; and sophomore Taylor Buck.

GOODHUE With the majority of their team back from last
years 4-14 campaign, the Goodhue
softball team is hoping to earn more
wins this season.
The Wildcats graduated just two
players from last season in pitcher
Laurie Pearson and infielder Ashley Thompson. Pearson handled
nearly all of the Cats pitching duties last season.
Coach Chris Irvin has seven
letterwinners back in seniors: Lexie
Kennedy (HVL All Conference and
All West Section 1A), Kate Lexvold, Brittney Ryan and Bailey
Kreisler (HVL All Conference,

Honorable Mention); juniors: Kate
Stehr and Bailey Gullerud; and
sophomore: Alissa Bien.
Non-letterwinners who will be
counted on to contribute are sophomore: Cassie Voth; and freshmen:
Emily Benrud, Danelle Hove, Katie
Pearson, Abby Doerhoefer, Catherine Fox, Haley Evans, Autumn
Lindblom and Millie Hahn.
Kennedy saw some pitching
duties last season and will see added
mound time this season. She had a
6.37 ERA over 19 innings of work
against 184 batters faced. Pearson
also saw an inning of mound work
last season and will be counted on

for more production this spring.
At the plate, Kennedy hit .425
with a team-high 13 RBI. Kreisler
hit .352 with eight RBI, Ryan batted .285 with seven RBI, Lexvold
hit .218 with 14 base hits and Stehr
hit .182.
Kasson-Mantorville (Class AA
champion) is the favorite to repeat as HVL champions behind
All State pitcher, Maddie Damon.
Zumbrota-Mazeppa and Stewartville should also be in the running. In East Section 1A play Chatfield and Fillmore Central will be

KW thinclads want to take that next step up
By Faye Haugen
KENYON A number of
Kenyon-Wanamingo track team
members earned medals at the
Section 1A meet in Winona last
May. This year they want to take
it one step further by placing in
the top two to earn a trip to the
State Class A meet.
Knight boys
Kenyon-Wanamingo returns 11
letterwinners in seniors: Bailey
Paquin, Ben Ringham, Caleb Greseth, Devyn Stordahl, Eric Hokanson, Micah Grove and Noah Rechtzigel; and juniors: Ben Bohn,
John Nelson, Kyle Keller and
Mason Stevenson.
Non-letterwinners looking for
track time are, junior Aaron Grove;
sophomores: Gavin Borup and
Shane Deland; and freshmen: Ben
Erickson, Nathanael Bauemfiend

and Sam Ringham.
The Knights graduated six letterwinners in Alex Tapp, Ben
Kleese, Ben Nystuen, Hudson
Ades, Lucas Bakken and Luke
Nelson.
Both Greseth and Hokanson
were just a place away from running at State last season. Greseth
placed third in the 110-meter
hurdles and Hokanson was third
in the 1600-meter run. The top two
move on to St. Paul. KW also had
a pair of relays teams place in the
top five in the section with most
of those runners back. The Knight
4x200-meter relay team of Greseth, Stordahl, Stevenson and Keller
placed fourth, and the 4x800-meter
team of Micah Grove, Ben Ringham and Hokanson placed fifth.
That relay team graduated Nystuen.

With their numbers, the Knights
should be competitive in most
meets. But they still lack practice
pits for pole vault or high jump,
limiting potential points in their
quest for an HVL or sub-section
title.
Knight girls
The KW girls have nine letterwinners back in juniors: Courtney
Houglum and Sarah Benrud; sophomores: Kasey Dummer, Maddie
Patterson, Mara Quam and Megan
Groth; and freshmen Tess Hokanson and Corynne Dahl.
Non-letterwinners expected to
contribute are, senior Naomi Bauerfiend; juniors: Alex Blomgren and
Maddie VanGuilder; sophomores:
Alissa Johnson, Amber Bauman

Mara Quam won a trio of medals at the section meet, placing
fourth in the long jump, fifth in
the 100-meter hurdles and sixth
in the 300-meter hurdles. She also
placed ninth in the triple jump.
Hokanson also earned a section medal, placing fifth in the
400-meter dash.
The Knights graduated just
three runners in Emily Karl, Erin

PINE ISLAND The good
news for the Pine Island golf teams
is that their numbers are up, especially on the girls team.
Coach Rick Canton has five
boys back who earned letters last
season and one girl.
Our numbers are up and that
will really help us this season. A
lot of the girls are not ready for
varsity yet, but we hope by the
end of the season, we can field a
team of five, remarked Coach
Canton.
Panther boys
The Panthers return five of their
six main boys golf team members
from a year ago. Seniors Matt
Smith and Jake Barr are joined by
junior Keanan Peterson-Rucker,
and sophomores Kaleb Kautz and
Cole VanHouten.
Non-letterwinners who will work
for varsity playing time are Nick
Bruestuen, Michael QuinterroBungert, Ryan Wiskow, Dylan
Wisman, Bryce Kunz, Luke Runge,
Cody Stofferahn and Alex Keighley.
The Panthers graduated just one
golfer in Ryan McNallan.

Panthers after qualifying for the
Section 1AA individual meet last
May.
We hope the boys will take
that next step up and challenge
one another this season, remarked
Coach Canton. We need better
course management by making
better decisions on the course. Instead of trying to hit through the
trees, make a good decision on what
shot will pay off the most.
Coach Canton is encouraged that
many of the Panther boys took part
in a summer match-play league
against one another. The boys
played an 18-hole match-play
against one another once a week
for six weeks. They will see that
pay off when we start the season.
The more they can play, the better
they will get, pointed out Coach

Canton.
The Panther coaching staff looks
for Lourdes, Triton and Byron as
the teams to beat in HVL and Section 1A play. We hope we can
get a few more individuals to qualify
for the section meet this season.
That is our goal, Canton added.
Panther girls
For most of last season, Bailey
Trogstad-Isaacson was the only Pine
Island girl playing in matches. By
the end of this season, Coach Canton is hoping to add a number of
players to the varsity roster.
Our girls numbers are way up,
but many are not ready for varsity
play just yet. We hope they will
be ready to make the move up to
varsity by the end of the season,
said Coach Canton.
Joining Trogstad-Isaacson will

be sophomores Arlena Schmidt and
Emily Fried and eighth-grader
Marisa McClure. Also joining the
team this season are Ellen Rownd,
Katie Hawkins and Tori Toft.
Lake City and Stewartville get
Coach Cantons nod as the teams
to beat in the HVL and in section
play this spring.
The Panther boys will open the
season on April 11 at Hayfield.
Both the girls and boys will play
at Faribault on April 20.
We had one nice week where
we were able to hit outside, so if
we can keep the nice weather, we
can get some practice in. The young
kids need that early season practice, said Coach Canton.

The Cougars have yet to get
outside to work on their swings,
but Coach OConnor said that has
given him a chance to video each
player to see where their games
need work.
The ZM coaching staff looks
to Triton, Lourdes and Byron to
be tough in HVL play. OConnor
adds Red Wing to that group of
teams to beat in Section 1AA play.
The Cougars are looking at a
mid-April opening date. The Zumbrota-Mazeppa Invitational, with
10 teams invited to take part will
take place on April 23.

making a permanent legacy in Pine
Island track and field. The team
has high goals for the season, both
as individual accomplishments and
as a team, pointed out Coach
Northrop who begins his 18th season at the helm. We have a strong
core of mid-distance runners, returning experience from the section meet, and kids who are incredibly motivated to come to practice every day with the intention
of being champions.

PINE ISLAND Even though
graduation claimed 12 letterwinners with a number of other letterwinners deciding not to return,
the Pine Island girls track team
will be a contender in any meet
they are in.
The Panthers have 18 letterwinners back from last season and 57
girls out for track.
We did lose some girls to
graduation and for some other reasons, but we more than made up
for that with the new girls who
came out this season, said Coach
Bill Frame.
Letterwinners who dot Coach
Frames lineup are, seniors: Caitlin Schartau, Emma Vouk, Jordyn
Braaten, Liza Shelquist, Emily Kaul
and Mikayla Pukal; juniors: Madie
Owen, Lexi Loats, Madison House,
Summer Rauk and Taylor Rasmussen; sophomores: Eliza Warneke,
Brittney Arndt, Amanda Hildenbrand, Justice Story and Leah

Anderton; and sophomores: Jocasta
Adelsman and Sarah Schartau.
Non-letterwinners Coach Frame
can draw from are seniors: Megan
Gerhart, Tori Vouk and Valeria
Agus; juniors: Angela Petrini and
Montserret Salinas; sophomores:
Alyssa Bronk, Andie Haller, Hannah Friedrichs and Jordan Engel;
freshmen: Abby Schimek, Amanda

Stephanie Pike.
Pine Island placed second in
the Section 1A True Team Meet.
They advanced to the State True
Team Meet as a wild card selection, placing sixth.
We should be in the hunt again
this season in the True Team Meet,
but we will be chasing orange jerseys, remarked Coach Frame of

looks for Byron as the team to
beat in the sub-section meet. Our
goal is to get as many kids as we
can to the state meet. We should

The Panthers won nine medals
at last years Section 1A meet. Eliza
Warneke led the way placing second in both the 100 and 300-meter
hurdles and 200-meter dash. She
advanced to the state meet, placing
second in both hurdle events. The
PI 4x400-meter relay team (Caitlin
Schartau, Sara Schartau, Brittney
Arndt and Laura Torgeson) placed
second at the section meet and
placed ninth in the Class A finals.
The Panther 4x800-meter relay team
(Angst, Sara Schartau, Adelsman
and Rasmussen) placed fifth at the
section meet as did the 4x200-meter
relay team of Caitlin Schartau,
Owen, House and Arndt. The PI
4x100-meter relay team of House,
Arndt, Katie Schultz and Owen,
placed seventh at Winona.

ZM returns their top battery from last season

By Faye Haugen
ZUMBROTA The ZumbrotaMazeppa softball team returns a
pair of HVL All Conference, All
Section 1AA and All State players
from last years 21-4 team in pitcher
Morgan Olson and catcher Tayler
Mort. That combination of players is why the Cougars are considered one of the top teams to beat
in HVL softball this season.
ZM returns seven letterwinners
from last season in seniors: Mort,
Alyssa Quam, Rachel Mensink,
Cait Heitman, and Jackie Matuska;
and juniors Kathryn Hodgman and
Olson. Letterwinning senior Hailey
Dykes (All Section 1AA) will miss
the season due to a knee injury

suffered during the basketball season.
That is a huge loss for us,
lamented Coach Kevin Nelson of
losing Dykes for the season. She
is a three-year letterwinner and was
really starting to be effective at
the plate.
We hope to field a strong team,
and it helps to have one of the best
pitchers and catchers in the conference back. We have a lot of
strong players back. We just need
to fit a few new pieces into the
puzzle, pointed out Coach Nelson.
Olson had a 17-3 record on the
mound last season with a 1.38 ERA.

She also hit .489 with 18 RBI. Mort
hit .455 with 23 RBI, while Alyssa
Quam hit .303 with 19 RBI, Jackie
Matuska hit .234 with six RBI and
Mensink hit .226 with eight RBI.
Besides Olson, ZM returns very
little pitching experience. Both
Alyssa Quam and Tara Matuska
saw limited action with Quam facing three batters and Matuska, 21.
ZM graduated third baseman
Kaitlin Buck, outfielder Carley Henning (HVL All Conference, All
Section, All State), pitcher Amber
Gehrke and second baseman Ali
Frederixon.
Nelson looks to Alyssa Quam
to move from the outfield to fill in

at first base. She is a hard worker
and has played a lot of sports. She
will make some mistakes early in
the season, but Im comfortable with
her in at that position, said the
ZM skipper. Right now we still
need to find three outfielders and a
third baseman. But the kids put a
lot of time into softball in the off
season. We have five to six girls on
our junior varsity that would start
for a lot of HVL teams. Thats what
makes it hard to make a decision
on who plays where. We have a lot
of good players who are very equal
in skills.

Kasson-Mantorville (25-0 last season behind pitcher Maddie Damon)
is the obvious choice as the HVL

good. Take those three teams and
add us and we easily could be four
of the top eight teams in the state.

Drazan and Summer Cavallaro
(HVL All Conference); and sophomore Haley Bauman.

Home games in BOLD
Five freshmen new to the lineup

are Autumn Pin, Emilie Rucker,
Mya Polzer Bridget Kennedy and
Sydney Cavallaro.
The Panthers graduated just two
players in Allison Anderson and
Marissa DeWitz. But they also had
a few letterwinners decide not to
come out this season.
With the number of great pitchers in the HVL, Coach Jones has
her squad working hard at putting
down good bunts for this season.
We worked hard on our bunting
last season, but until you face live
pitching, it is entirely different than
facing a machine, said Coach
Jones. We struggled at the plate
last season, but we are improving
each time we practice We are plugging away at it.
Taylor Schroder and Bridget
Kennedy will handle pitching duties this spring with Kaitlyn
Champa moving to the outfield
instead of being on the mound.
Coach Jones noted that Ashley
Westlake worked hard on improving her game and she expected good
things from her this season. She
also said that Schroder worked hard

in the off season and has shown
improvement.
Weve told the girls that all
we asked is that they compete as
hard as they can and improve each
time they play or practice, remarked Coach Jones, adding that
she hopes to see her team step up
their defensive play this season.
The Panther coaching staff looks
for Kasson-Mantorville (last years
defending State Class AA champion), Zumbrota-Mazeppa and
Stewartville to be the teams to beat
in the HVL and in Section 1AA
play.
We want the girls to never give
up, to keep improving, and on any
given day you do not know what
will happen, added Coach Jones.
The Panthers will open 2015
play on Tuesday when they host
Minneapolis Roosevelt in non-conference play beginning at 5 p.m.
Pine Island will host ZumbrotaMazeppa on Thursday, April 9 in
their first HVL game of the season with the first pitch at 5 p.m.
