Stordahl Church to celebrate

100 years of current building
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA Stordahl
Lutheran Church in Roscoe Township is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its current church building. Located at 15049 County 12
Blvd just outside of Zumbrota, the
church will hold a celebration on
Sunday, July 12.
Southeastern Minnesota Bishop
Steve Delzner will bring the message for the congregation. The
service is at 9:30 a.m. and will be
followed by a brunch and familyfriendly games.
The old schoolhouse, which is
now Roscoe Center Town Hall,
will be open for tours. The church
hopes to bring in animals for the
kids to see and interact with, and
also some tractors.
Pastor Kathy Lowery said, We
really just want to honor our rural
background while celebrating our
churchs history. Lowery has been
the pastor at the church for the
past twelve years and is the first
female pastor in the churchs history.
History of current building

The original church for the primarily country congregation was

established sometime in 1878, but
was destroyed by a tornado on
June 23, 1914. The original church
was a clapboard and wood building that could not withstand the
destructive winds of the storm.
The decision to rebuild the
church was made at an emergency
meeting of church council on June
29, 1914. They discussed all of
their options and decided that not
rebuilding and joining with another congregation was just not
an option.
At subsequent meetings in July

Fourth of July celebrated at Hidden Meadows

PINE ISLAND Hidden Meadows RV Park held its annual Fourth of July celebration on Saturday. Campers
and visitors enjoyed a day full of events including a bean bag tournament, a golf cart parade with over twenty
decorated carts, live classic rock music by TJ Kramm and the Last Chance Band, and fireworks. Just down
the road a little ways, the night sky was aglow with fireworks above the park in Oronoco.

Elementary School principal
A replica of the original Stordahl Church is displayed in the fellowship
hall in the basement of the new church building.

of 1914, it was decided that the

new church would be built using
brick, which would cost about $100
more than using lumber. Although
this was considered a lot of money
back then, the thinking was that
the building would better be able
to withstand the elements of Minnesota.
The question was posed whether
the old church was of any value
and worth using for the new church.
After speaking with a contractor
it was decided that nothing was
worth saving and instead they
should auction off what they could.
A committee was formed and an
auction was held on Saturday, July
25.
The rebuilding of the church
began in the spring of 1915.

Kathy Lowery has been the pastor

at Stordahl for twelve years and is
the first female pastor in the churchs
history.

Jay Strande

By Alicia Hunt-Welch
WANAMINGO With the hiring of Katy Schuerman as KenyonWanamingo Elementary School
principal, the KW School District
is back to a full roster of administrators for the first time since December 2014. Schuerman said she
is honored to join the KW district
and community.
After 23 years in the classroom
she is embarking on a new path as
principal overseeing kindergarten
through sixth grades. I think the
greatest strength I bring to the
principals position is my extensive experience in the classroom,
she said. I know firsthand the
joys and challenges of working
directly with children, and that will
help me support teachers and students in an authentic, realistic way.
Schuerman grew up in the rural
town of Worthington in southwestern Minnesota. It was a great place
to be a kid with strong support for
schools and children, she said.
Kenyon-Wanamingo reminds me
of my hometown in that the school
is the social center of the community, and there is great dedication
to kids and student accomplishments.
Teaching is in her blood.
Schuermans mother was an elementary school teacher and her
father a junior high principal during the years she and her siblings
Germany the following December.
After getting off active duty in
1998, he joined the Army Reserve
and was stationed in Wabasha. In
2006, he was cross-leveled to the
758th Maintenance Company in
White Hall, Ohio, and then deployed to Iraq. While there, he ran
a shop with about forty soldiers
where they repaired blown up
trucks. They also built things in
his woodworking shop to make
the soldiers lives easier such as
bookshelves and bed frames.
After coming back to the U.S.
in 2007, Strande was once again

Fire Chief and military veteran

Jay L. Strande has been in the Army
for 30 plus years. He signed up in
1985 with the North Dakota National Guard, went active in 1990,
and was stationed in Mannhiem,
Germany. In 1993, he moved to
Fort Riley, Kansas. He re-enlisted
in 1994 and was moved to Kitzigen,
Germany. In 1995, he was deployed
to Hungary to support the humanitarian mission in the former Yugoslavia and then redeployed to See LOCAL HEROES, page 5A

Katy Schuerman

attended school. She recalled, I

used to write lesson plans and play
school with my little sister, who is
also a teacher! Her father then
took a job as the district office
business manager before the family eventually moved to the metro
area, where he took a job as an
assistant superintendent.
In college, Schuerman discovered a love for the Spanish language. This led to her decision to
be a Spanish immersion teacher.
She received her bachelors in
science in elementary education
and Spanish from St. Cloud State
University. Then at the University of St. Thomas she earned her
masters of arts in curriculum and
instruction, and her licensure as
an education specialist in educational leadership and administration.
Schuerman started her teaching
career with Minneapolis Public
Schools, where she spent nine years
teaching in a Spanish immersion
program. She then took time off
from teaching to raise young children and home. The past fourteen
years she has served as a teacher
leader in the immersion program
for Northfield Schools. She looks
forward to using her Spanish to
engage, welcome, and involve the
KW Spanish speaking community.
Schuerman and her husband J.D.

have three children. The oldest,

Jackson, will start college in the
fall at the University of Nebraska
Lincoln. Betsy will be a junior
at Northfield High School where
she is active in golf and basketball
for the Raiders. The youngest, Will,
will be a freshman in the fall at
Northfield and is active in choir,
lacrosse, and theatre. Schuerman
said, J.D. and I enjoy following
our childrens activities, being
outside during all times of the year,
and spending time with family and
friends.
Knowing a bit about the KW
District from news and acquaintances working at KW, Schuerman
said she loves that KW students
are encouraged to participate in
multiple sports and music programs
without pressure to specialize in
one single area.
As principal her responsibilities will including serving students,
families, and staff in any way necessary to help all students in the
district achieve at high levels, in
addition to providing instructional
leadership and support to teachers and assuring a culture of safety
and respect within the schools. Last
year KW began implementing the
Positive Behavior Interventions
and Support program, which uses
student testing and data to implement achievable outcomes with a
goal to improve student academics and behavior outcomes with
access to the most effective and
accurate instructional and behavioral interventions. Schuerman
said, I am also excited to continue the work that has been started
with PBIS to ensure that the
Kenyon-Wanamingo culture
makes students and adults feel
welcome, valued and safe.
Schuerman said every student
is valued and worthy of the best
efforts of their educators. It is a
job she takes seriously, and putting forth her best is a challenge
she strives for. She said, I love
being an educator and think a school
full of children is a happy place to
be!

July activities deep thinking

From
Devils
Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher

Small typo in last weeks column: I put the wrong email address in. It should be rollingf@
bevcomm.net with the subject of
MNLA. Anyone who sends me
an email for the MNLA Game will
earn a 50% reduction in fees (total

We have some deep (supposedly serious) issues for the election in 2016! Immigration is a big
one. Why is this item a big issue?
All of our families immigrated to
these lands. Who really thinks that
because they were born here that
they are Native Americans, especially if their father or mother were
born elsewhere and the family
immigrated. When did we decide
this land is only big enough for
you and me (and Im not too sure
about you)? Take a trip out west
and then tell me there is no room.
Take a hard look at the inner core

of the cities like Detroit, Chicago,

New York City, and others. This
country was built by immigrants
and we need more. Our economy
is built and dependent on a growing population. Read again the
poem inscribed at the feet of Lady
Liberty.
What are we going to do about
the drought in California? What
can we do as a nation? A lot of
fresh fruits and vegetables come
from California. Should we close
the state to just farmers? Where
should the movie industry move
to? Or the computer industry? Is
the drought due to climate change?
Can the president truly help with
any of Californias problems? The
answer is no!
In case you havent noticed, the
national policy about using gasoline has changed. At one point in
history, we worried about running
out of native crude oil. We imported crude oil and finished oil
goods from around the world. The
oil producing countries formed a
cartel to control the price and production. Now we are again outproducing the cartel and the price

Chicken grit
As
The Worm
Turns
By Jeanne Truestedt

One of the handiest commodities I use in the garden is #2 chicken

grit. Because its not water soluble,
chicken grit is excellent for growing succulents, holding soil in
containers (to avoid washing), creating instant paths, deterring rodents from digging planted bulbs,
etc.. Its only real problem is
weight. At 60 pounds per bag it
can tucker a body out real

fasteven young bodies.

Over the years Ive hired quite
a few brawny bodies for hefting
chicken grit. Of course, the best
bodies are those being trained for
demolition on the football field
because they are already used to
physical abuse. Unfortunately, one
can only use these bodies before
the girls take to chasing them. So
the season of working them in the
garden is relatively short. For that
reason, young males in our neighborhood were prime candidates
for hauling the bags of chicken
grit from the trunk of the car into
the garden and then spreading it
where needed. The three Boser
brothers were perfectly spaced in

has gone down. But should the

price go down? Once a barrel of
oil is used, it is gone. It is not a
renewable resource. What should
our oil policy be?
The US-Canadian border is the
most open border in the world.
But we have tightened security to
the point that it is not open any
more. Why? What happened between us that we no longer trust
Canadians? To give you an idea
of how open the border was, think
about this. Was Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, a citizen of the USA, of
Canada, or Mexico? Actually, he
was born in Canada and applied
for citizenship in the USA because
the phone sold better here than
there, and Washington insisted he
be a citizen. In the end, he sold out
or retired back to Canada.
One final issue is can the US
really solve the Middle East situation between Israel and its neighbors. I have come to believe that
answer is no! It is not that peace
talks wont work, but no one is
truly interested in succeeding. Until
next week.

Wanamingo celebrates 4th of July

WANAMINGO The Wanamingo Fire Department held its annual water department fights following the
parade on July 4. This year six fire department teams and fourteen novice teams competed. The youngest
was Team Bananas, consisting of three girls who held their own pretty impressively. Alexis Berker of
Wanamingo, right, runs the hose as Leah Berg of Kenyon provides support and back up. Adrianna Kruse of
Zumbrota (not pictured) had the important job of keeping the fire hose straight.

Greg Knott of Kenyon completes a 186.46 foot pull with a Minneapolis Moline tractor on Sunday, July 5. The
truck and tractor pull was held in the Industrial Park and was run by the Southeast Area Tractor Pullers.

After opening the parade with many of his other fellow veterans, Byron Pee Wee Boraas Jr. spends a
moment at the Wanamingo Veterans Memorial looking at the names engraved on the walkways border.
Boraas, who grew up in Wanamingo, now lives in Zumbrota.

tube line with a fire hose. She gets a little help from Becky Kean of
Rochester and Wanamingo Firefighter Todd Greseth. The water game
was popular with the kids, with many taking their turns to shoot and
then standing behind the row of barrels on the trailer to get wet and cool
off.

Senator Schmit speaks

with KW School Board
By Alicia Hunt-Welch
KENYON Senator Matt
Schmit attended the June 22
Kenyon-Wanamingo School
Board meeting to give a recap of
the latest legislative session, answer questions, and gauge the
districts needs.
Referring to the loss of longtime KW Superintendent Jeff Evert
and extensive changes in administrators, Schmit began by recognizing that the district had a difficult year. He said significant money
for deferred maintenance and funding to school readiness programs
were positives that came out of
the session. The senator envisions
more money for schools in the
future. Id like to think you could
count on us going forward for more
adequate funding for schools, he
said.
KW Interim Superintendent Jeff
Pesta thanked Schmit for his work
and support of schools, noting that
the funding for deferred maintenance was much needed for schools
like KW.

sented. An unassigned general fund

balance of $874,853 was projected
for June 30, 2015. This was an
increase of $148,288 from last year.
A financial summary featuring
revenues, expenditures, and program breakdowns from June 2013
to May 2015 was presented. Summaries such as this will be presented monthly to the board at
future meetings.
A preliminary budget for 201516 was presented as well. With all
the transitions in leadership and
concerns regarding finances, Pesta
said former district manager Kathy
Flikke was very conservative with
spending. Pesta noted that the district now has about a 10.32% unassigned fund balance, which is
good, and referred to the preliminary budget as a starting point for
moving forward. A motion to approve by Doug Kyllo, seconded
by Greg Dotson, carried.

Other business

At extended field trip request

for the 2015-16 sixth grade to attend Eagle Bluff, and its related
fundraisers, was approved.
The policy regarding work overload limits for certain special education teachers was amended and

reading.
The technology plan for 201518 was reviewed and approved.
The plan will be submitted to the
state as required.
Wasioja Education Technology
Cooperative (WETC) is looking
at changes to the phone system.
Converting to a new system will
result in an estimated $3,600 in
savings.
Exiting community education
director Kris Kincaid recommended that the board have both
sites open for preschool and KW
Kids for the school year, based on
enrollment numbers and projections. Kincaid she that with limitations set, it has been a challenge
for staff between two sites to review and collaborate programs.
She also asked the board to consider increasing hours for the future director, as she ended up working more hours than set to complete tasks.

Zumbrota

First Congregational Church hosted the 2015 Covered Bridge Festival Quilt Show on Saturday, June 20.

More than fifty quilts displayed at

Covered Bridge Festival Quilt Show
ZUMBROTA More than 50
quilts were displayed at the Covered Bridge Festival Quilt Show
on Saturday, June 20, at the historic First Congregational Church.
Quilts of nearly every style were
shown, including hand-pieced and
hand-quilted heirlooms, traditional
style-machined pieced, with machine quilting; both free hand and
computerized, pieced and tied,
paper-pieced, embroidered, applique, whole cloth, crazy and bargello
quilts. The collection included
baby quilts, lap quilts, full-sized
bed quilts, table runners, wall hangings and quilts honoring recent
graduates.
Visitors of all ages, male and
female, found something to admire. With the 150-year-old church
as a background, it was difficult
to decide what to focus on first,
the awesome 1870s pump organ,
the huge double-hung windows,
the ornate alter area or the outstanding colorful quilts.
With the church ladies, led by
Coleen Johnston, serving homemade treats, coffee and lemonade, the church offered a cool place
to sit and visit. Quilting techniques

and tips were shared, memories

were stirred, especially by the
heirloom quilts, and the stories
behind each quilt enlightened visitors to the meaning or motivation
for creating the fabric art.
Visitors were asked to vote for
their top three favorite quilts for
the Peoples Choice award. Nearly
all found this to be a most difficult
task, since every quilt was outstanding in its own right and definitely a winner in someones heart.
The local quilt shop, All In Stitches,
provided a generous gift certificate to the winner of the Peoples
Choice award. This years winner
was Jane Fisk of North Branch.
Fisk is a veteran and talented
quilter. She owns a long arm quilting company, using a computerized quilting machine, and has
mastered many different quilting
styles. Her bargello quilt is comprised of thousands of pieces,
placed in a pattern creating waves
of color and bordered in large scallops, sized to fit a queen sized
bed. Fisk was thankful for the award
and wanted to encourage new
quilters to keep sewing.
Jane Fisk won the peoples choice award for her Bargello quilt.

Choice Award.

The grades 5-8 division winner was Sheridan Wilson of Zumbrota.

RUNA interweaves tunes of Ireland

with rhythms of bluegrass, flamenco
ZUMBROTA Quickly gaining recognition as one of Irish
musics new super-groups,
RUNA has been enchanting audiences by pushing the boundaries
of Irish folk music since its formation in 2008. Interweaving the
haunting melodies and exuberant
tunes of Ireland and Scotland with
the lush harmonies and intoxicating rhythms of bluegrass, flamenco,
blues, jazz, they offer a thrilling
and redefining take on traditional
music. RUNA plays at Crossings
on Friday, July 17, at 8 p.m.
With so many very different
musicians, it would be a disservice to call RUNAs music sim-

ply Celtic. Instead, this is music conceived in the New World,

but with distinct ties to the Old
World. Music that looks forward
as much as it looks back. Music
inspired by tradition, but embracing a new sound for the future.
Seeking to preserve and continue a traditional culture in a
modern age, RUNA creates the
backbone of its signature roots
sound from the musical and geographical diversity of its individually established band members.
Together, theyve earned a reputation as one of the most innovative Irish folk groups of this gen-

eration.
The group has been honoured
internationally, winning Top
Group and Top Traditional Group
in the Irish Music Awards and an
Independent Music Award for Best
World/Traditional Song.
Their album, Current Affairs,
was nominated in the 2014 Irish
Music Awards for Best New Irish
CD and in the 2015 Independent
Music Awards for Best Bluegrass
Song and Best World/Traditional
Song.

New law adds width to criteria

for where ATVs can ride
ST. PAUL On July 1, the s
tate of Minnesota will begin using the width of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) to determine how
ATVs are classified and where
they can be ridden. This change
will a ffect ATV owners, but they
dont need to take action until
thei r current registration expires.
ATVs were defined in the past
by weight and engine size. As a
result of legislation passed in
2015, Minnesota law now defines
an ATV as a motorized vehicle
with:
Three to six low-pressure or
non-pneumatic tires and;
Atotal dry weight of 2,000
pounds or less; and
Atotal width (measured from
outside of tire rim to outside of
tire rim) that is 65 inches or less.
An ATV with a total width of
50 inches or less is considered a
Class 1 ATV . A Class 1 ATV is
typically designed for a single
operator who straddles the machine and uses handlebars to steer,
but some Class 1 ATVs are designed by the manufacturer for
off-road use with a seat belt,
rollover protection and a steering wheel.
An ATV with a total width
that is greater than 50 inches but
not more than 65 inches wide is
considered a Class 2 ATV. Class
2 ATVs typically have a steering wheel and are designed for
the operator and passenger to be

seated side by side.

ATV owners can continue to
display an unexpired registration
for their Class 1 or Class 2 ATV
until it expires. New registrations
and transfers will continue using the present registration system until the DNR upgrades are
complete. The ATV registration
system will not be programmed
with the new definition of an ATV
until 2016.
There is no difference in the
cost of registering a Class 1 or
Class 2 ATV (a three-year registration is $45 for both), but the
classification affects where each
type of ATV can ride.
All ATV riders need to observe the signs designating Class
1 and Class 2 trails, said Mary
Straka , OHV program consultant for the DNRs Parks and Trails

Division. They also need to be

aware of the laws about riding
ATVs on roads and in ditches.
Most ATV riders will not be affected by the new definitions, but
others will enjoy expanded riding
opportunities. For example, only
Class 2 ATVs were previously
allowed on road shoulders, but
now Class 1 ATVs can ride on
the shoulders of some public
roads, too, if they have a seat
belt, rollover protection and a
steering wheel.
For more information on registering and riding ATVs in Minnesota,
visit
www.dnr.state.mn.us/ohv/
index.html or call the DNR Information Center, 651-296-6157
or 888-646-6367 between 8 a.m.
and 4:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
