Chickens are now allowed in

residential areas of Zumbrota
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA At its regular
meeting on June 18, the Zumbrota
City Council approved Ordinance
2015-02 amending the city zoning code permitting the keeping
of urban chickens in residential
zoning districts. Brad Drenckhahn
opposed the decision.
The city received a complaint
of a neighbor keeping chickens in
a backyard enclosure on 4th Street
West. Staff followed up and discovered there were ten hen chickens in a backyard coop. The residents, Erich and Leah Marx, were
advised that this was not allowed
according to city zoning code.
Leah Marx then decided to pursue an amendment of the zoning
code. A public hearing was held
on May 14 after publication and
notice to all property owners within
350 feet of the applicants. At the
hearing, Marx submitted petitions
with over 100 signatures supporting her request to change the ordinance to allow the keeping of a
limited amount of urban chickens. A majority of abutting neighbors had signed the petition.
Her daughter, Jaid Marx, then
spoke of the benefits she receives
from chickens in dealing with
health concerns. Area residents
Krista Rowe, Brenda Holst, Tony

Augsburger, and (former resident)

Stacey Hayden also offered their
support for amending the ordinance. One resident, Ursula
Bezoier, said she was not in favor
of amending the ordinance and
allowing urban chickens.
At the Planning Commission
meetings in May and June, a draft
ordinance was deliberated. Ordinance 2015-02 is the culmination
of these deliberations and was
unanimously (6-0) recommended
for city council approval at the
June 9 meeting.
Potential nuisances include odor,
waste, attracting vermin/predators,
Avian Influenza, and similar viruses. To address these, the proposed ordinance includes regulating uses in residential zones so
that there may be no more than ten
hen chickens (no roosters) on a
property. It can be argued that the
occasional clucking of a small flock
of hens will not produce noise that
would rise to the level of a nuisance. Slaughtering of chickens
on the property is also prohibited.
Regarding waste, odor, and
predators all pens and runs shall
meet the minimum requirements
already established in the city code
section 95.29-95.30. Violations are
misdemeanors and subject to law
enforcement. Additionally, the

ZM selects Dave Anderson

for grade 7-12 principal
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
ZUMBROTA On the meeting agenda for the ZumbrotaMazeppa School Boards June 22
meeting, which took place after
the News-Record printing deadline, it was announced that the board
would vote to approve Dave Ander-

son as the new grades 7-12 principal, beginning on July 1. The board
also vote to approve paying Anderson stipends of $100 for a partial
day and $200 for a full day through
June 30. More information on this
meeting will be in next weeks
issue.

language requires that all food must

be secured in a container with tightfitting lids, and the structure must
be rodent/predator proof. There
is a ten-foot setback from property lines in the draft language,
which can be increased if desired.
This should alleviate some odor
and noise concerns.
Bird flu is of serious concern.
Although it doesnt appear to be a
threat to humans, there is always
a concern that it could have a negative effect on the community. Language in the proposed ordinance
requires the owners to notify the
appropriate authorities, the
Goodhue County feedlot manager
and Minnesota Board of Animal
Health, if there are any unusual
illnesses or mortality. This is consistent with the requirements of
any poultry raiser, small or large
scale.
Lastly, although the Planning
Commission didnt see the need
to license chickens, it was suggested that city officials and staff
should be made aware of a resident who plans on keeping chickens under this ordinance. The proposed ordinance requires simple
notification to the city in writing
on a form to be drafted by staff. At
that point, staff can present information on regulations and discuss
expectations with home owners.
Im worried about the impact
this might have on neighbors who
arent getting a say in this, Councilor Drenckhahn said. Living in
a city you expect standards like
not living next to chickens.
Well, I dont want a dog living
next to me, but we allow those,
Sara Durhman said. I was against
chickens originally but after seeing how they take care of them
and their way of life...it just changed
my mind.
I dont think chickens belong
in town, Drenckhahn said.

Durhman made the motion to

approve the resolution to allow
chickens in residential areas, Dale
Hinderaker seconded the motion.
It passed 4-1.

City staff approved Resolution
2015-06 Minnesota Landscape
Partnership Program to finish the
second phase of the landscape
project that was started last year
along the Highway 58 corridor
north of the Zumbro River Bridge.

by the river bridge on the old insurance building area.
The council was notified by mail
that they were approved for the
Trailhead Grant.
A donation from Jim Wedge for
the Redwood log section currently
stored at the old Wedge Lumber
building was accepted. This log
section came from the Redwood
forests in California in 1928.
Wedge has set aside $5,000 to move
the piece and place it near the
Covered Bridge as part of the new
Trailhead.
Lowell Olson has stepped down
after fifteen years serving on the
Planning Commission. The council
approved the recommendation to
appoint Dave Dahlen to replace
him, and Matt Rockne was selected
as the chair of the Planning Commission to succeed Olson.
Council approved having StaryYerka VFW Post 5727 manage

have been moved to July 9 and 23
due to the July 4 holiday.

Oronoco parks dominate council meeting

By Karen Snyder
ORONOCO The Oronoco Parks
and Trails Committee requested
authorization at the June 16 city
council meeting to spend more than
$11,000 for swings at the community center: two adult-size swings,
a toddler-size, and a fourth swing
that will comply with Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
We can do it if we take the tennis court backstop out of the budget, said Trish Shields who represents the council on the committee.
(The jettisoned backstop wouldve
cost between $3,200 and $5,200.)
The council voted 5-0 in favor of
the swings, which will be installed
late this summer.
More holes for disc golf

and Oronocos improving course.

Im getting great comments about
it, Shields said. Its grown to four
baskets, and the committee feels the
park is big enough and the trees
make the course challenging enough
that theres room for more holes.
The council unanimously okayed
$200 for three more disk baskets.
A swinging town
Another swing, a porch-style fixture for Riverwood Hills Park, also
got a unanimous go-ahead. The
swing, which will seat two or three
people, will be made of composite
material and will cost $300.
Cleanup crew sought
The Parks and Trails Committee
is looking for volunteers to tackle
flood debris in the Garden Park vicinity. Cleanup starts at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 27.
Lake Shady Park
now Oronoco Park
The park named for the late Lake
Shady remains in business but under a new name: Oronoco Park. The
adjoining green spaces have officially combined, and soon the bigger-than-before park will enter the
running for regional park designation, an endorsement that bestows
state funding.
Ryland Eichhorst told his fellow
councilors hes applying to the designation-granting agency, the
Greater Minnesota Regional Parks
and Trails Commission (GMRPTC),
an office spawned by the 2013
Legacy Law.
Getting chosen isnt easy, he said.
Among last years 92 aspirants, only
nineteen won designation. The application deadline for 2016 grants
is June 30. We should hear something by the end of July regarding
our application, Eichhorst said.

He asked the council to pass a

resolution supporting GMRPTC
designation for Oronoco Park. The
vote in favor was unanimous.
For more information about
GMRPTC, Eichhorst recommends

Audit finds Oronoco
in fine fiscal condition
Reporting on his review of
Oronocos 2014 monetary records,
city auditor Tom Cummings, CPA,
concluded that the city complies with
the rules.
The communitys success in obtaining grants and contributions is
one of the positive things here I
dont see in other small cities, he
said. Last years $98,612 in grants
and donations helped pay for equipment, repairs, and other important
items that wouldve been impossible otherwise.
Revenue from taxes and fees
topped anticipations. Thats always
a good deal, Cummings told the
council. And you didnt go over
your budget.
Heres more welcome news for
Oronoco taxpayers: Over the past
five years, the cost of government
in the city didnt go up. You have
the biggest surplus youve ever had,
Cummings said. Your books and
records are in good shape.
The council, without dissent, approved the audit.
City seeks campground host
Oronoco and the Downtown
Oronoco Gold Rush Days Committee are looking for someone to camp
in and keep an eye on Oronoco Park
during Gold Rush Days. Perks for
the temp job include free camping
and a $50-a-day stipend. You can
find more info at oronoco.com or

on the citys Facebook page.

Outdoor lights for
the fire department
The council authorized an expenditure of no more than $1,500 to
purchase five soffit lights for the
fire department building. Councilor
Beau Hanenberger and Public Works
supervisor Cain Dolan will donate
their labor to install the lights.
The council will hold its next regular meeting at 7 p.m. July 21 at
Oronoco City Hall/Community
Center.

Art on Main benefits

State Theatre renovation
ZUMBROTA Twenty-four
colorful banners depicting original works by area artists will grace
the towns Main Street this summer.
Artists from the wider Zumbrota area, Rochester, and the Twin
Cities donated original art in various media, such as oils, watercolors, and fiber art including basket
weaving, quilting, and felting.
Art on Main is a fundraising
project of the Zumbrota Area Arts
Council (ZAAC) to pay for renovations to the historic State Theatre. The original works will be
on display at various businesses.
On September 18, from 6:30 to 10
p.m., there will be a celebration of
Art on Main, with live music, food,
and a silent auction for the banners and the original works. If

someone is interested in bidding

but cannot attend, a proxy will be
arranged. All proceeds will go to
ZAAC State Theatre Fund.
This is the third year that art has
been featured on banners downtown. Local business owner
Roxanne Bartsh first suggested the
project, modeled after an event in
Cable, Wisconsin. The Zumbrota
City Council embraced the idea
and ZAAC took it on.
Art on Main is a collaborative
effort of about 40 members of the
arts and business communities;
local businesses have sponsored
the banners.
Later this summer tickets for
the fall event can be purchased at
zaac.org, as well as through
Roxanne Bartsh at Wild Ginger,

Natalie Johnston is the new Goodhue

County 4-H Program Coordinator
Greetings Goodhue County, my
name is Natalie Johnston. I started
as the Goodhue County 4-H program coordinator on May 19 and
I am very excited to be in Goodhue
County to work with the youth
and families.
I am originally from Morris, and
I recently graduated from the University of Minnesota in the Twin
Cities with a degree in animal science. I am also an alumnus of the
4-H program in Stevens County.
During my 13 years of 4-H, I was
very active in the livestock project
(specifically swine, sheep, cattle,
and rabbits) as well as in council
and ambassador leadership roles
at the county level. 4-H has always been a very important part
of my life and will continue to be,
as I take on this role in Goodhue
County.
While here in Goodhue County,
I hope to increase 4-Her involve-

ment in the off season. It is rewarding to be involved at the county

and state fair with our various
projects and events, but it is important to remember the great programming and youth development
activities that are offered in the
fall and winter months. Also, over
the course of the summer and fall
I hope to meet and get to know
many of the 4-Hers, their families, and volunteers in the community. Building relationships and
providing an open line for communication with the 4-H families
is most important to me in order
to accomplish success in this position.
I am thrilled to be in Goodhue
County and ready for the many
opportunities in the program. If
you have 4-H questions, please

The act and policy of

provocation part three
From
Devils
Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher

One of my readers reminded me

about the Iran-Contra affair (scandal). We sold weapons to Iran
and then used that money to buy
and distribute more weapons to
Nicaragua. This mess was another
reason for not going to war with
Iran. The entire history of Iran from
the beginning of calling it Iran
(formerly Persia) to today is another series of columns someday.
Now for a final look at provocation. Ive written about the policy
at the federal level. Lets take a
look at lower levels of government. This is what I gleaned from
the Atlantic magazine. This is
my interpretation and opinion concerning the riots in Baltimore. I
think the Baltimore Police Department, and maybe others, received
updated training on dealing with
riots. After the class or training,
someone proposed a plan to test
Baltimore Polices readiness. I feel
this plan was put in place before
the death of Freddie Gray by the

police. I further feel (based on the

news reports coming out of Baltimore) that the readiness plan was
accelerated and implemented without too much thought of consequences (intended or unintended).
In Baltimore, a high school is
near a mall. The mall is a transportation hub for the students. The
students take a bus to the mall and
then take buses and the light rail
system home. Another fact about
Baltimore is the relationship between the mayor and the police
department which described as
strained and uncooperative. Then
there is the test plan for the police.
Normally, when you test an organization, you use people who know
what is going on, and the organization is supposed to react correctly. But in this instance, the
students didnt know that they were
giving the test and the police were
being tested.
Over the week Baltimore experienced two events. One was on
Saturday and quickly became a
non-event. It is not associated with
the killing of Freddie Gray. The
second event is related to Freddie
Gray. The police knew the students were coming. According to
the Atlantic article, the police met

the students in full riot gear (provocation #1). The police didnt give
a good reason for the lockdown,
but the students actually responded
well. They sat down and waited.
After a while, they started to get
restless. Some approached the
police asking when they could go
home. The answer was not what
they expected. The police started
harassing the students (provocation #2) until the students got angry and rioted. The result of
this tension was the police thought
they were ready to handle anything. They found out that they
werent quite as ready as they
should have been.
This set of columns may seem
like the long way around the barn
but many of the actions taken by
our government are based on precedent. Many of the presidential
precedents were made by George
Washington. The Act and Policy
of Provocation was in place at the
start of the War of Independence.
Some in positions of authority had
been dealing with the American
Indians, French, Spanish, and even
English for almost 200 years before the war. Dont forget the Boston Tea Party. We have had plenty
of time to establish leadership
habits. Until next week.

Plant personalities
As
The Worm
Turns
By Jeanne Truestedt

Like characters in soap operas,

plants have noticeable personality traits. So consider their quirks
before adding them to the cast of
favorites inhabiting your garden
spaces...
Pampered Prima Donnas (roses,
clematis, exotics) are elegant, flamboyant, and high maintenance.
Requiring manicure pruning, fungal powders, and center stage in
the garden, they demand devoted
attention.

Prickly Petes (cacti, agaves,

yuccas) are standoffish, bare bones
with sharp edges. They want no
fuss, minimal water, little attention, and full sun but have lots of
attitude issues.
Pushy Paulas (ground covers,
daisies, iris, sedums) are aggressive, pushy, and do as they wish.
They require barriers or large
spaces, dividing them, and can get
into turf.
Patient Pats (hostas, lilies, peonies, lilacs) are reliable, undemanding, tolerant, and dont wander.
They appreciate food, water and
praise when blooming.
Prissy Missies (mums, zone five
perennials, coral bells) are unreliable, disease prone, and climate
sensitive. They require vigilance,

high maintenance, and determination.

Before adding new cast members to your garden, make sure
you read the tags that come with
the plants youre about to purchase.
They tell you of lighting preferences, special requirements, watering needs, zone hardiness, care
management, and expectations for
growth (mature height, width, and
rate of growth). Read it a second
time to consider if you have the
time and resources to make this
plant fit into your garden space
and life. The price of the plant
doesnt include the amount of effort youll expend to make it grow.
Make sure you get the kind of plant
personality thats compatible with
your gardening style.

Threat to road and bridge

funding proposal

Comments
By Tim Kelly
MN Rep. District 21A

Following a one day special

session, the 2015 legislative session has finally come to a close.
While a number of good provisions for Greater Minnesota have
been or will soon be signed into
law, I remain extremely disappointed in a lost opportunity to
improve the way we fund our road
and bridge needs in this state.
The final bipartisan compromise
included $138 million for our nursing homes to implement a statewide rate of reimbursement which

will strongly assist facilities in

Greater Minnesota, improve the
wages of care providers and provide a permanent solution to statewide nursing home needs.
In our special session, we also
approved a K-12 education funding bill that will spend $1.4 billion more in our schools over the
next biennium than we did in our
previous budget cycle. Greater
Minnesota schools can expect an
average increase of $396 per pupil.
We also fulfilled our budgetary
obligations by funding statewide
transportation needs over the next
two years. This includes $12.5
million in new revenue to assist
towns with populations under 5,000

$5 million for Greater Minnesota
transit; $5 million for the Rail Grade

for several weeks, I can tell you
with confidence that they never
budged from this stance.
The House gave them an option
that, according to polls, a majority of Minnesotans support. Our
proposal would have invested $7
billion over the next decade without raising taxes, and prioritized
road and bridge infrastructure
through immediate repair of roads
in Minnesota communities, highway improvements for commuters and commerce, and reliable,
long-term funding without raising taxes.
By re-allocating a number of
currently collected transportationrelated funds, such as the existing
sales tax on auto parts and rental
vehicles, we could have provided
nearly $3 billion for programs such
as state road and bridge funding,
small city transportation projects,
and Greater Minnesota bus services. We also would have utilized trunk highway and general
obligation bonds and general funds,
and realigned Minnesota Department of Transportation resources.
In all, we would have repaired
or replaced 15,500 lane miles for
all roads and 330 bridges statewide.
The good news is the debate is
not over. We are able to resume
discussions on our long-term road
and bridge funding needs during
the 2016 session. I believe that
most parties now understand that
we do not need another tax to accomplish our goals. I look forward to putting the final touches
on a long-term funding plan that
prioritizes transportation within our
existing budget.

Knotts Away Massage adds

a location in Zumbrota
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA Christine
Baumgartner has opened another
location for massage therapy.
Knotts Away Massage opened at
the Zumbrota Chiropractic Office,
309 Main Street, on May 1. She
has another location in Mazeppa
at 240 1st Street.
Baumgartner was born in Zumbrota, but grew up in West Concord and currently lives in Cannon Falls. I have many memories of Zumbrota as a child, she
said. My grandparents took us to
the DQ in town for Blizzards when
we were kids, and my brother now
lives here so I am excited to help
the people of Zumbrota and the
surrounding area.
She has been doing massage
therapy for seven years. I have a
passion for helping people, and
from experience, massage therapy
is so beneficial in so many ways
and I am privileged to be in this
profession and to be good at it,
Baumgartner said. She added that
there is nothing more rewarding
than seeing her clients walking
out of the room with a much more

relaxed face than the one they came

in with. More and more people
are taking an alternative approach
to help with their pain versus having to manage it with pain medications, she said. Massage is
healthier for you, without the side
effects of pain medications.
Baumgartner suggests people get
a massage at least once per month
as maintenance for their bodies,
and that this is especially true for
anyone who has a job where there
is a lot of repetitive motion, whether
you are on your feet all day or sit
at a desk. The benefits of massage
include easing aches and pains in
the neck and shoulders, lower back,
and legs. It can also help with insomnia and headaches, improve
circulation, and promote relaxation.
Baumgartner offers Swedish,
deep tissue, Reiki, prenatal, therapeutic/focus work, hot stone, and
sea salt scrub massages. She has
flexible hours by appointment starting at 9 a.m., Monday through
Friday. Weekend appointments are
available upon request. Some insurance will cover massages with
a referral and she will auto bill if

that is the case. Call Christine

Baumgartner for appointments at
507-226-3567.

Burfeinds host Breakfast on the Farm

By R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE Peter, David, and
Janet Burfeind welcomed guests
to celebrate June Dairy Month with
Breakfast on the Farm at the
Burfeind Family Dairy on Wednesday, June 17, near Goodhue. Complimentary breakfast was served
from 7-11 a.m.
There was a petting zoo for the
kids with baby calves, pigs, puppies, kittens, goats and a
rabbit. There were educational
dairy tours to show the dairy barn
that Peter designed and built, which
includes a dual ten-cow milking

parlor, a fresh pen and a maternity

pen.
This is a third generation
Burfeind family farm. The
Burfiends are milking 290 Holstein and Crossbred cows on their
450 acres of land. They have a
total of 320 cows. The average cow
on their farm produces 25,000
pounds of milk every year. The
average Minnesota dairy farm has
128 cows. On the Burfeind farm
there is a focus on cow comfort
and sustainability practices. David
said the cows get to spend their

days on a sand beach. Its important to the Burfeinds to manage

the land, water and air for their
animals, families, surrounding
communities and future generations.
The breakfast was catered by
Bridgets Cafe and the fruit was
from Dons Food enough to serve

500. KCUE Radio along with

Goodhue County American Dairy
Association paid for the breakfast. KCUE broadcasted live from
the Burfeind Farm. A busload of
daycare children from Red Wing
were bought to the petting zoo.
And most importantly, the rain
held off for the most part.

Pine Island
PI Council will investigate
downtown housing development
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND At the meeting on June 16, the Pine Island
City Council agreed to direct Economic Development Authority
(EDA) Director Karen Doll to further investigate the development
of a downtown housing complex.
Mayor Rod Steele told the council that he had discussed a downtown housing development with
Doll and the EDA Board of Directors. Steele is a council representative on the EDA Board. The
housing development would be
constructed by a private developer.
He said the EDA has proposals
from six interested private developers. It would have twelve to
twenty units.
Steele said, We have identified a number of possible sites
with adjoining city land. Would
the city donate land? He questioned if the council would support the city purchasing land adjacent to city property to donate to
a developer.
Councilor Joel Knox said the
city needs to expand and improve
the library, more than to donate
land for private development.
Broader community benefit is our
goal. The library has broad community benefit, he said.
Steele said the city could recapture the money in tax increment
financing. He asked, Would the
city help a developer?
Councilor Erik Diskerud said,
I need to know more about this.
The council agreed to have the
city direct Doll to continue the
discussion with the developers and
the investigation of a downtown
housing development.
Zwart land donation

The council accepted a land

donation from Wendell Zwart. The
land is ten feet wide and reserved
for an equestrian and walking trail
along the river. No bicycles or
motorized vehicles other than
wheelchairs will be allowed on
the trail.
Zwart thanked the city for working this out for him to donate the
land with restrictions on use. He

recognized Bev Spriestersbach for

planting 500-1,000 walnut trees
on the property. Someday this
land might be worth something,
he said.
Bee colonies

The council reviewed amendments to the city code that would

allow registered bee colonies in
the city limits. City attorney Bob
Vose prepared the amendments.
After discussion, the council
tabled the changes. Their concerns
were defining appropriate setbacks
from property lines and the number of colonies that should be allowed on larger properties.
Children could live on adjacent
lots. Building fly over barriers to
direct bees above residential properties was included in the code.
Vose said the council could limit
the type and number of colonies
when each one-year permit was
issued. He will continue working
on the amendments and bring the
changes back for the July 21 meeting.
Senator Schmit visits

Senator Matt Schmit updated

the council on the 2015 legislative session and special session.
He said the legislature passed a
budget and the hope is to meet
again in March of 2016. Resources
to nursing homes were increased.
$126 million was devoted to rural
services. He has continued to support improving high-speed internet
in all rural areas of Minnesota.
Councilor Jason Johnson and
Mayor Steele asked Schmit to help
Pine Island get the Minnesota
Department of Transportation to
install a gate to access Highway
52 from North Main Street and
build an acceleration lane, instead
of the barricade MnDOT is installing. The cost of the acceleration lane is about $0.5 million.
The gate would only be opened
to answer emergency calls and for
evacuation if Goodhue CSAH #11
was flooded or inaccessible.
Steele said, MnDOT has reneged on our agreement by not
doing the gate.
Schmit said he would follow up

on the North Main emergency

access to Highway 52 with the
MnDOT district engineer.
Other business

The council discussed adding

an ordinance to prohibit dynamic
engine (Jake) braking. Noise nuisances are included in the city code.
The council decided it was better
to post signs and ask for more law
enforcement for now.
The council approved decertifying Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) District No.1-2 in the northeast part of town on December
31, 2015. This TIF District was
established in 1988. All projects
in that area are coming to conclusion.
The council approved the purchase of a $170,000 Jetter-Vac
truck. The City of Albert Lea submitted the only bid to sell a truck.
Public Works Director Todd
Robertson said a four-year cycle
will be developed to clean and
maintain the 100,000 feet of sewer
in Pine Island. Without the truck,
about 1% of the lines can be cleaned
annually and waste only moves to
an interception line near the waste
treatment plant. There have been
six back-ups into basements in the
past year.
The council approved:

Firefighters get a pay increase

By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND On June 16,
the Pine Island City Council approved increasing firefighters pay
from $10 per run to $12 per run in
2016. Fire Chief Jay Strande said
he was making the request now
because the City of Pine Island is
planning the 2016 city budget.
In 2016, the city will pay $10,000
and rural territories will pay $8,000
for the $2 per run increase.

increase the firemens pension. The
council approved the request.
The council approved a resolution authorizing an increase in
annual pension from $3,300 per
year of firefighter service to $3,900
per year.
The city paid $13,000 for the

fund can pay out pensions and the

association wants to maintain the
fund at 100% of what could be
payable.
Pike said the firemen can get
60% of their pension after ten years
serving in the fire department, but
at twenty years they get 100% of
the funds set aside for them.

Monroe Crossing to perform
at Zumbrota State Theatre
ZUMBROTA Monroe Crossing dazzles audiences with an electrifying blend of classic bluegrass,
bluegrass gospel, and heartfelt
originals. Audiences will delight
in their airtight harmonies, razor
sharp arrangements, and on-stage
rapport on Saturday, June 27, at 8
p.m. Crossings is bringing the fivemember band to the Zumbrota State
Theatre.
The Minnesota-based band plays
an average of 125 shows a year at
major venues and festivals, and
has played at Carnegie Hall in New
York City. The band, named in
honor of Bill Monroe, the Father

of Bluegrass, aims to sound fresh

while remaining true to the authentic bluegrass of Monroes day.
Monroe Crossing is made up of
five very distinct personalities with
differing musical backgrounds and
tastes, combining for a unique
ensemble sound. They are Derek
Johnson: guitar, lead and harmony
vocals; Lisa Fuglie: fiddle, mandolin, lead and harmony vocals;
Matt Thompson: mandolin, fiddle,
baritone vocals; Mark Anderson:
bass and bass vocals; and David
Robinson: banjo. Their paths
crossed through the music of Bill
Monroe so they like to say they

life. Cardiac arrest and irregularities, burns, and nerve damage are
common in cases where people
are struck by lightning. However,
with proper treatment, including
CPR if necessary, most victims
survive a lightning strike, although
it may have long-term effects on
their lives.
Unless specifically designed
to be lightning safe, small structures do little to protect occupants
from lightning. Many small open
shelters in parks, at roadside picnic areas, and elsewhere are not
designed to protect people from
lightning during thunderstorms. A

shelter that doesnt contain plumbing or wiring throughout or some

other mechanism for grounding
from the roof to ground is not safe.
Rubber shoes will not give
you any meaningful protection
from lightning.
Lightning can-and often doesstrike in the same place twice. Tall

A car with a metal top can

Goodhue School Board meeting
highlights years accomplishments
By R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE The Goodhue
School Board met on Monday, June
15.
The peer reviewers for next year
were chosen. They are Jodie Alpers,
Dawn Austin, Matt Halverson,
Casey Veiseth, Lori Hart, Regina
Poncelet, Jennifer Doerhoefer and
Heather Gadient. Peer review coordinators will be Chris Heitman

Staff changes

Students participating in the tractor and farm safety course at Goodhue High School are, from left to right:
Connor Jacobson, Matthew Kuznicki, Juan Chavez Moyer, Alex Marcellus, Jacob Niebher, Marty Greer (on
tractor), Brady Gradient (on tractor), and Ethan Schafer.

Tractor and farm safety class concludes

GOODHUE Eleven students
recently participated in a tractor
and farm safety training course
conducted by Sue Gorman, agriculture education instructor at
Goodhue High School. Upon the
successful completion of the
course, the students receive a certificate, which exempts them from
the Federal Regulations for Child
Labor in Hazardous Occupations
in Agriculture. The purpose of
the Fair Labor Standards Act is to
prohibit the employment of children under 16 without special permission in occupations declared
particularly hazardous by the secretary of labor. Among other things,
this includes operating a tractor
of over 20 PTO horsepower.
The classroom portion of the
course consisted of units dealing
with:
1) reducing the odds of accident occurrence;
2) understanding instruments
and controls on tractors;
3) the operators manual and
how to use it;
4) the use of hand signals;

5) maintenance and safety checks

on farm machinery and around the
farmstead;
6) tractor overturns and extra
riders;
7) tractor safety on the farm and
on public roads;
8) PTO and hydraulic safety;
9) safe use of jumper cables;
10) safe use of pesticides;
11) farm machinery accident
situations and how to avoid them;
12) safe storage and handling
of grain including grain bin, grain
wagon, and auger safety;
13) airborne hazards such as
hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide,
ammonia, and methane (manure
pit gases), nitrogen dioxide (silo
gas), fungi from moldy hay, and
nuisance dust;
14) electrical safety on the farm.
After covering all of the units
mentioned, the students took a
written 100 question test. They
needed to earn a score of 80% or
better to pass.
The students also put their driving skills to the test. They had to
demonstrate their ability to drive

forward, make sharp turns, and

back equipment through a course
that allowed about two feet on either side of the attached manure
spreader. Their driving score was
based on the number of times they
hit a course marker as well as other
safe operating procedures.
Lodermeiers Inc. provided the
equipment for the students driving experiences.
In addition to receiving the certificate, the students came away
from the class with a better appreciation for the continued need for
keeping a safe attitude. They developed a respect for the power
and capabilities of the machines
they deal with, and they are better
educated in the areas of farm safety.
The students know what hazards
exist and what to do if they are
presented with a hazardous situation. They also learned how to
avoid and/or eliminate a hazard
on the farm. The students were
reminded that a safe operator with
a good attitude is the best insurance against an accident.

Resignations of Chris Irvin as

varsity softball coach and Robby
Ebner as junior varsity baseball
coach were accepted. New hires
included coaches Merribeth
Schrimpf as assistant volleyball
coach and Michael DeWeese as
junior high basketball and junior
high football coach. Lane changes
were approved for Matt Halverson
and Tony Poncelet.
School buses

Sheila Poston addressed the

school board to get an extension
to the school bus routes of 2.1
miles to pick up her four
children. She was told that either
Jeremy Schaffer the head of transportation or Superintendent Mike
Redmond will notify the Postons
soon of their decision.
Redmond also addressed the
board about safe routes to school.
The area in front of the school
(Third Avenue) will be used for
bus loading and unloading, and
the safety committee is looking
into adding signs.
An area on Fourth Street will be
used for drop-offs and short-term
parking; it is farther from the front
door of the school, but it is a much
safer place for children to be
dropped off and picked up. The
area in back of the school (Fourth
