In addition to the activitiesplanned for the meet attendees,the public is invited to two events.On Thursday evening, March 6,the movie “Sign Painters” will beshown at the State Theatre in Zum-brota at 7:30 p.m. The movie,directed by Faythe Levine and SamMacon, is an 80-minute documen-tary “about the dedicated practi-tioners, their time-honoured meth-ods, and their appreciation forquality and craftsmanship.” It fea-tures the stories of more than twodozen sign painters workingthroughout the United States –including Meyer. A trailer of themovie can be seen at http://signpaintermovie.blogspot.com/ Abook of the same name was pub-lished in November 2012, andMeyer will be available to signcopies before and after the show-ing of the film, which he will alsointroduce.

On Saturday evening, March 8,a public art and sign auction willbe held at the Mazeppa Commu-nity Center beginning at approxi-

mately 7 p.m. Houghton AuctionService will be conducting the salethat will include items createdduring the Panel Jam event. Forexample, one item expected to beauctioned off is a refrigerator withair-brush painting done by an at-tendee from Australia.Hand-lettered sign painting

Sign painting is the art of paint-ing on buildings, billboards, mu-rals, barns, or other objects, pri-marily for the purpose of announc-ing or advertising products, ser-vices and events. Up until the

1980s, all were hand-lettered withbrush and paint. But with the ad-vent of computer technology, thecraft has all but disappeared andis now taught in only a few schools.

Meyer’s dad was a barber whoalso painted signs between hair-cuts and showed his son how to doit. Besides teaching at workshopsand meets in the United States,Meyer began teaching hand-let-tering workshops internationallyover ten years ago. This month(February 2014) Meyer has beentraveling in Europe, conducting

two-day workshops in London,Berlin, Warsaw, and Amsterdam,before returning to Mazeppa tomake final preparations for theMazeppa Mardi Gras Panel Jam.

At his workshops, Meyer teachesthe basic foundations of drawingand brush lettering, including whatletters have to be built like andfilling in. Four lettering styles aretaught: gothic, thick ‘n thin, ca-sual and Meyer’s favorite: script.The most important thing, how-ever, according to Meyer, is for itto be fun.

ZM SCHOOL BOARD UPDATENeedless to say, from a weather

perspective this has been a chal-lenging winter for schools. Thepart that worries us is that thereare still a few weeks where we’reat risk of having more days calledoff. Decisions on further make-up dates will be made as neces-sary, but we are as hopeful as allof you that we will not be forcedinto using days around the Easterholiday or tacking them on at theend of the year.

The administration, board andcommunity members are in themiddle of a strategic planning pro-

cess for the school district. Ourgoal is to create a vision of wherewe want our district to be in thenext five to ten years. Balancingour goals in the areas of academ-ics, arts and athletics is a processthat never ends. The growth of theuse of technology in schools willcontinue to accelerate. We are al-ways looking for ways to be costefficient in the process of enhanc-ing ZM’s use of technology.

We also need to watch the in-frastructure needs of our district.Our high school, for instance, isnow over 60 years old and is in

great shape, but like all of the build-ings in our district we need to stayon top of things in order to pre-vent an even larger liability in thefuture. At this time, we have gymfloors in our Zumbrota Primaryand Mazeppa Elementary build-ings that have needed upgrades/repairs for many years. We havescoreboards in all locations thatare aged to the point where we arenot able to get parts for neededrepairs. We are going to start look-ing at ways to fund these issues,and it could end up being a com-bination of using capital fund dol-lars, fundraising efforts, and per-haps corporate sponsorships.We’re open to ideas.

Finally we’d like to recognizethe service that Ken Quiring gaveto our school district. He was thetype of educator who could “reach”every type of student. He was in-strumental in developing AdvancePlacement courses for the studentsin our district. There probably isn’ta student who went through his/her history/social studies courseswho did not come away from itwithout knowing about the legis-lative branches and the ElectoralCollege or without an apprecia-tion for politics in America. Wehave been given some ideas for away to honor Ken within the dis-trict. Please contact one of the boardmembers if you would like to helpin this effort. We will miss Ken inso many ways. Our condolencesgo out to his wife and family.

FromDevil’sKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

Relationships

Relationships are the most im-portant factor in our lives. Someof you may say, “Fisher, why areyou stating the obvious?” Whileothers may say, “You are wrong,it is the economy.” Or it might besome other factor. An endless listof choices exists from which tochoose. Relationships are easy tomake the first time, easier to de-stroy, and then extremely hard torebuild. What is the differencebetween a good salesman and agreat salesman? A good sales-man sells 100% of the quota set,plus or minus 5%. A great sales-man sells 200% or more. Thesecret of the great salesman is re-lationships. He builds strong, posi-tive relationships between his/hercustomers and himself.

Do you have a favorite car ortruck dealership? Is it the brandor the dealer or maybe both? Whenyou decide you want/need a re-placement vehicle, do you shoparound or do you go to that deal-ership? If you have a strong rela-tionship with a salesman or theservice team, it is one-stop shop-

ping.My mother had a strange habit

when it came to grocery shopping.She had established relationshipswith the butchers and bakers inone store and did her other shop-ping at a competitor’s store. Shefelt she was getting the best valuefor her money.

I believe in recognizing everyworker in the store. They are allimportant to me. One of my highschool summers, I worked in agrocery store. When I spent a sum-mer at college, I helped out at thelocal hamburger stand. That placehad a reputation in Lafayette thatwent beyond Purdue University.On Sundays, people would waitin line in their cars to get lunchafter church.

Sometimes when I walk througha store where I have establishedrelationships, I tease anyone I seewith their hands in their pockets.(Why, what’s wrong with puttingyour hands in your pockets? It sendsa message that you do not haveenough to do. In today’s world,that is reason enough to have thecareer guidance meeting with themanager.)

Why do I enjoy relationshipsand people will go the extra mile(or 1.6 kilometers) for you? Re-cently one of my daughters usedthe relationship for a surprise birth-day party for me. I was set upbeautifully. Saturday, I went gro-

cery shopping. Sunday, my spouseinsisted that we needed to go to goagain. I asked, “For what?” andthe answer was we need to go.When we entered, we had to getcoffee for five adults. We sat downat the biggest round table. Sud-denly, twenty-some employeessurrounded us and presented a cakewith a dragon done in the frosting(dark chocolate cake). Then theysang “Happy Birthday” and wishedme well. Afterword, I went to thebakery to find out who made thecake and frosting. I was told shewasn’t there on Sunday. Then Iheard another bakery clerk whoturned to a third clerk. She asked,“Is that the guy who we made thedragon cake for?” The reply wasyes. “Oh, I thought it was for some-one celebrating his 100th birth-day!” What can you say after that!?

These relationships also let meshow interest in the other person.Existence is another factor of be-ing alive. Recognizing each otheris a way of saying, “You exist!”Try this: the next time you areeating out in a “sit-down” restau-rant, every time someone fills yourwater glass or coffee cup, givethem a “Thank you!” Mentally keeptrack of the change in the server’sattitude toward you. Your “thankyous” are recognition of their ex-istence. See if it makes a differ-ence. Until next week.

A quality that is too rare todayTo the Editor:

The publisher was correct in writ-ing that a great teacher was lostwith the passing of Mr. Quiring,or “K Q” as we sometimes calledhim. He was my teacher and Bteam basketball coach in the midto late 1960s. He was an avowedDemocrat; to put it mildly, I wasnot. It did not matter to him. Whatmattered were ideas, your capac-ity to think independently, and yourability to articulate and defend yourposition. That quality is too raretoday.

I can honestly say that many

share my view that he was themost inspiring teacher we had inhigh school. He was fair-minded,and he did not care what othersthought of you or your family, agreat plus for me as a vulnerableyouth whose highly-principled par-ents, regrettably, were mistreatedby small-minded town leaders atthe time.

Although I attended his beloved

St. Olaf’s archrival—CarletonCollege—and had many wonder-ful teachers there and in law school,Mr. Quiring made an indelibleimpression on me that has contin-ued to shape my own teaching ofthousands of law students over theyears.

I hope Mrs. Quiring and Ken’swhole family know that he hadthat breadth of impact, on me andmany others.

By Marilyn AndersonROCHESTER – Area volunteers

invite you to join them for theirfirst ever “Mardi Paws Masquer-ade” on Saturday evening, March1, from 7-10 p.m. at the RochesterArts Center, 40 Civic Center Drive,SE. Tickets are available onlineat http://www.campcompanion.org/

The evening is planned to cap-ture the sights, sounds, and fes-tivities of New Orleans, while rais-ing funds for Camp Companion.Camp Companion is an all-vol-unteer animal rescue group, dedi-cated to preventing future genera-tions of homeless animals.Evening festivities

To capture the masqueradetheme, the Arts Center will be deco-rated, reminiscent of New Orleans’French Quarter. Costumes for theevening are not only welcome, butencouraged. The festive atmo-sphere will also be captured withspecial Mardi Paws masks. Localartists will display their work, withan opportunity for attendees to helphomeless animals by purchasingpieces of art. Costumed studentsof the arts will serve desserts fromCatering by Design while musicis provided by “Take Two andFriends.” Robin Wolfram, KTTCreporter and animal lover, is em-ceeing the event.Volunteers

Volunteers are the sole sourceof strength of Camp Companion,giving of their time and followingthe organization’s mission. CampCompanion, founded in 2003, hasan aggressive spay/neuter programtargeting farm, feral and stray cats,centered on the approach of trap-neuter-return (TNR).

Zumbrota volunteers include

Sara Linker Nord, Joan Wood, andCarol Post. Linker Nord, a volun-teer for seven years, said the pro-gram is somewhat unique in thatbesides its focus on TNR, it doesn’thave a shelter for homeless ani-mals. Instead, it relies on volun-teers to provide foster homes forthe animals until adoption occurs.Adoption events are held each Sat-urday at Rochester pet stores withinformation about specific avail-able pets found on the organ-ization’s website. A modest adop-tion fee helps cover the servicesthe pet has received (spay/neuter

and vaccinations).If interested in volunteering,

Linker Nord can be contacted at732-7639, or view the many waysyou can help that are listed on thewebsite.TNR

TNR is becoming recognizedas an effective and humane strat-egy for managing and reducingferal cat populations. Camp Com-panion supports this belief and howtowns and communities are ben-efitted through TNR. Additionalinformation about TNR can alsobe found on their website.

Food shelf needs support duringMarch FoodShare campaignBy Marilyn Anderson

ZUMBROTA – The ZumbrotaArea Food Shelf is once again par-ticipating in the Minnesota MarchFoodShare campaign. For morethan 30 years, the March campaignhas been making a major differ-ence in relieving hunger by rais-ing money and food to stock nearly300 food shelves throughout Min-nesota. The annual effort bringstogether families, businesses, faithcommunities, schools, civicgroups, and individuals to raisemore than half the food distrib-uted each year by Minnesota foodshelves.

All food and monetary dona-tions given to the Zumbrota AreaFood Shelf stay at and are used bythe local food shelf only. The ser-vice area includes, Zumbrota,Mazeppa, Wanamingo, Belle-chester, and Goodhue. The poundsof food and dollars raised duringthe March campaign qualify fortwo incentives:

1. Minnesota FoodShare pro-vides a portion of their “Food Fund”dollars to our local food shelf, basedon the pounds of food collectedand dollars raised in our commu-nity.

2. The Alan Feinstein Founda-tion provides a $1 million incen-tive fund for hunger programsacross the nation. Our local foodshelf will receive a portion of thefund based on amount of food anddollars donated during March.Local usage

The Zumbrota Area Food ShelfBoard and volunteers point outthat giving food or money duringthe March campaign is the perfectway for donors to stretch the value

of their donations, while helpingpeople during their greatest hourof need. In 2013, the local foodshelf served approximately 3620people (some duplicated due toreturn visits) and distributed ap-proximately 126,400 pounds offood.

Regarding specific usage andconcerns locally, Director DebWalstad said, “I think the cost offood is one our biggest concerns.The usage is up along with thefamily size. I expect we will see atrickle down effect with the coldwinter and heating bills this win-ter. In a few months we will prob-ably see an even larger increase.”She added, “We can use any non-perishable foods as well as cashdonations. Kid-friendly food isalways a good choice.”

In 2012, more than 544,000Minnesotans received federal foodassistance – one out of every 10people in the state. One-third ofthese were children. Another quar-ter were the elderly or disabledadults. The total is more than thecombined populations of Minne-apolis, Rochester and Apple Val-ley.How to donate

Donations can be mailed toZumbrota Area Food Shelf, POBox 43, Zumbrota, MN 55992.Volunteers will be available ev-ery Tuesday during the month ofMarch from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.for donations. The Food Shelf islocated at 242 Main Street withaccess from the back via the alleybetween Main Street and WestAvenue off 2nd Street.

The Volksfest Com-mittee has asked for more volun-teers to help with the event. Vol-unteers normally help serve food,clean up, run carnival activities,and give out prizes.

In 2013, activities and gamesincluded the Udder Run, craft show,kiddie parade, pool games, skidloader relay, bean bag tournament,

city parade, pedal pull, and water-melon feed. The committee is opento hearing about new ideas forVolksfest. Currently, the VolksfestCommittee has five volunteers towork at Miss Goodhue event, onefor carnival events, three for theparade, two for the quilt show,and one for the fireworks.

The Jaycees play a large role inVolksfest. They are, however, busyrunning the dance as well as theirown events. Additional help couldbe used for non-profit groups suchas FFA, 4-H, and church youthgroups.

Volksfest is a time for residentsto come together and celebrate

being a community. City clerk LoriAgre said that all volunteers havea great time working together anddevelop a sense of accomplish-ment as everything is pulled to-gether. She added that while sheand her family volunteer their time,they also go to all the events andhave hosted many visitors at theirhouse – a family from Brazil hasattended twice in the past few years.

Goodhue sells land to countyfor road improvementBy Tara Chapa

GOODHUE – The GoodhueCity Council approved the sellingof 0.85 acres of land along CountyRoad 6 to Goodhue County at theWednesday, February 12 meet-ing. The county plans to expandthe county right-of-way so theycan upgrade and widen the road.The city will also temporarily rentanother 1.5 acres to the countythrough December 12 for construc-tion and the stockpiling of dirt.Before the end of the constructionthe county will return the rentedproperty to the city in the condi-tion it had before construction orbetter. The city will be paid $8,500per acre for the purchased prop-erty and $325 per acre for the rentedproperty.

The rented land was previouslyrented to a farmer. If this projectimpacts the amount of land thatthe farmer is able to operate on,then the city will adjust the rentthe farmer pays, based upon theacreage counter that the farmerhas on his equipment. The citywill get two usable accesses fromthe property directly on to the newlyupgraded County Road 6.

The county plans to advertisefor bids in April and begin theproject in June. The planned de-tour will be County Road 7. Thecounty plans to complete the projectin 110 days. The projected cost ofthe project, according to the county,is $5 million. The county will re-ceive $3.2 million in federal moneyand the rest will be paid from stateaid. The county estimates thatabout 2,000 cars go through theCounty Road 6 right-of-way perday.

SEMLMThe council voted to support

including the surrounding South-east Minnesota League of Munici-palities (SEMLM) members’ cityprojects in the bonding bill as longas the City of Goodhue is able toinclude a municipal swimmingpool project.

Every two years the legislatureand governor work on this bill toprovide funding for publicly ownedbuildings, property, and land. Inparticular, state agencies havebuildings or property that are inneed of repair, renovation, or re-placement. State colleges and uni-versities tend to have a large re-quest because they have a lot ofbuildings. To be “bondable” theproject has to be publicly owned,be of state or regional significance,and be a capital project—mean-ing it has to be “bricks and mor-tar” and not for ongoing opera-tion costs. The state raises moneyfor these projects by selling gen-eral obligation bonds on the bondmarket. The state then pays thedebt service to pay off the bondsover time.

SEMLM promotes regional leg-islative policy and is run by mem-bers. It encourages neighbor cit-

ies to work together and is open tocities of all sizes. SEMLM servesthe Minnesota counties of Dodge,Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston,Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha, andWinona. Some of the surround-ing member city projects include:Oronoco – Lake Shady project;Kasson/Mantorville – wastewa-ter treatment facility; Red Wing –west fire station and training fa-cility, levee road and waterfrontimprovements, and Sheldon The-atre; Zumbrota – “Old Highway52” reconstruction within city,Goodhue Pioneer Trail (along withother cities); Cannon Falls – MillTowns TrailEmployee review finalization

The city approved giving cityemployees $350 additional dol-lars per month in their paychecksto assist in paying for health in-surance. In addition to that, cityemployees will receive a two per-cent increase this year as well as atwo percent increases next year.The city did not agree to place acap on wage increases at this point.

The Minnesota School BoardsAssociation has set February 17-21 as School Board RecognitionWeek in Minnesota. It is a time tobuild awareness and understand-ing of the vital function an electedboard of education plays in oursociety. Public school districtsacross the state will honor localboard members for their commit-ment to their community and itschildren.

“It takes strong schools to builda strong community, and these menand women devote countless hoursto making sure our schools arehelping every child learn at a higherlevel,” Zumbrota-Mazeppa Super-intendent Tony Simons said. “Theymake the tough decisions everymonth and spend many hoursstudying education issues and regu-lations in order to provide the kindof accountability our citizens ex-pect.”

Simons said the key work ofschool boards is to raise studentachievement by:

• Creating a vision for what thecommunity wants the school dis-trict to be and for making studentachievement the top priority;

School Board RecognitionWeek is February 17-21

• Establishing standards for whatstudents will be expected to learnand be able to do;

• Ensuring progress is measuredto be sure the district’s goals areachieved and students are learn-ing at expected levels;

• Being accountable for theirdecisions and actions by continu-ally tracking and reporting results;

• Creating a safe, orderly cli-mate where students can learn andteachers can teach;

• Forming partnerships with oth-ers in the community to solve com-mon problems; and

• Focusing attention on the needfor continuous improvement byquestioning, refining and revis-ing issues related to studentachievement.

Simons said, “School boardmembers give the Zumbrota andMazeppa citizens a voice in edu-cation decision-making. Eventhough we make a special effortto show our appreciation in Feb-ruary, their contribution is a year-round commitment.”

ZM School Board members willbe recognized at the February 24board meeting in the ZM HighSchool media center.

Rehabilitation project forWanamingo awaits approvalBy Alicia Hunt-Welch

WANAMINGO – Karen Du-Charme of the Southeastern Min-nesota Multi-County Housing andRedevelopment Authority (SEM-MCHRA) presented informationat a public hearing on February 10regarding the Small Cities Devel-opment (SCDP) program. SEMM-CHRA’s program would rehabili-tate eleven owner-occupied hous-ing units in the older part ofWanamingo and in the 31-unitSpringcroft Apartment buildingsby allowing owners to use theRental Rehabilitation DeferredLoan Program funding through theMinnesota Housing Finance Agen-cy. The financing for the housingrehab program will be based onaffordability and a percentage of

household income to qualify fordeferred loans.

SEMMCHRA is working tosecure about $552,000 in SCDPfunds for the project to benefitlow and moderate income house-holds. DuCharme said federalfunds were handed down to thestate and are distributed on a com-petitive basis. Wanamingo resi-dents were surveyed last year aboutthe age of their property and typesof building rehabilitation needed.SEMMCHRA received the sur-veys and the project area was de-termined. In addition to SCDPfunds, other sources of funds forthe rehabilitation project wouldinclude owners’ matching fundsand municipal dollars. DuCharmesaid if funding for this project is

approved by the state, Wanamingowill be asked to pay $1,000 for theproject. DuCharme said this showsthe city is invested in the commu-nity and supportive of the project.The total project cost would be$890,911.

This is the second time thisproject has been submitted for stateconsideration. After the applica-tion was submitted the first time,the state asked for more informa-tion. A second public hearing willbe required as part of the process.The council approved the SCDPapplication on February 10 at itsregular meeting.

A similar redevelopment projectwas offered in Wanamingo in 2005,and a county-wide project wasapproved in 2007.

Wanamingo prepares for watertower and well house projectBy Alicia Hunt-Welch

WANAMINGO – City Engi-neer Brandon Theobald of WHKSpresented well house repair andwater tower painting project de-tails for consideration to theWanamingo City Council duringits February 10 meeting. In 2012the city began looking at optionsfor repainting the water tower.Recently, damage occurred at thewater well house, requiringTheobald to look into additionalproject costs. He said advertisingfor project bids will include vari-ous options.

One part of the project will con-sist of painting the downtown watertower off Main Street. Compa-nies will be asked to submit bidsfor the cost of full sandblastingand recoat painting, and the costof pressure washing and recoatpainting.

Part two of the project will bewell house A and B repairs and/orupgrades. Work on well house Awas included in the city’s capitalimprovements plan. But after well

house B sustained significant dam-age on January 11, repair worktotaling about $25,000 was addedto the project list. Work for wellhouse B will be covered by insur-ance, minus the city’s $1,000 de-ductible responsibility. It was notedthat the work for well house Bcovered by insurance would bereplacing equipment to pre-exist-ing conditions.

Theobald said the city was us-ing one well house as the primarywater supplier and the other as aback-up, but added that there areadvantages from having two work-ing well houses. One would bethe increased supply of water forlarge fire emergencies.

A $4,000 rebate based on up-grading to load efficient well houseequipment may be available. Thisis being looked into.

The city may opt to solicit quotesfor well house work, as opposedto the bid process, if it is allowedby bonding and legal requirements.Using the quote process would becheaper for the city as it would

not require the city’s engineeringfirm to solicit and facilitate theprocess.

The city council approved speci-fication plans for the well houserepairs, rehab and water towerpainting project, and to advertisethe projects for bids.

City Administrator MichaelBoulton said financing for the watertower painting project has been inplace since the fall of 2011 and isdone through Minnesota RuralWaters Micro Fund Loan Programfor up to $200,000. A low interestrate loan, expected to be between1.5-2.5%, would address a major-ity of the project not covered byinsurance and deductible.

According to the projecttimeline, bids would be receivedby the city on March 3 and thecouncil would consider for ap-proval on March 10. Precon-struction meetings would occurin April and construction wouldbegin in May. If all goes accord-ing to plan, work would be com-pleted in August.

“Les Miserables” musicalcoming to KW stageBy Alicia Hunt-Welch

KENYON – Kenyon-Wana-mingo High School students andstaff are diligently working to bringthe musical “Les Miserables” tothe stage in March. For many weeksnow the large cast and crew haveattended daily double practices.Show times are Saturday, March1 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 2 at2 p.m. in the high school audito-rium in Kenyon. Tickets will beavailable at the auditorium doorsprior to performances.

Veteran school drama directorRandy Hockinson said, “I love thestory of ‘Les Miserables.’ It hastimeless meaning to so manypeople who have read the book,watched the movie, or seen theplay.” Eleven years ago the KWdrama department presented thenon-musical version of the play,but Hockinson said, “Now wewanted the challenge of doing themusical.”

This musical is daring and dif-ferent from many musicals in thefact that it does not include one

spoken word. Because of this, thejob of musical director StephanieSchumacher is an important anddemanding one.

Hockinson said, “There are somany talented singers and actorsat our school who will be able toexpress themselves through thisshow. The over 50 students in-volved in this show are passion-ate about telling the story throughsong.”

The cast includes many athletesfrom winter sports. To accommo-date their schedules, back-to-backdouble practices are being heldmost days of the week. “The dedi-cation of the cast and crew to thelonger than normal hours is com-mendable,” Hockinson said.

The production will feature thetalents of Amos Avery, RyanPelkey, Hunter Stanke, AlexRoosen, Mitchell Ades, LukeSteberg, Veda Avery, MasonStevenson, Sarah Benrud, KaiteBohn, Casey Baumgartner (alsoserving as assistant director),Marcus Irrthum, Caleb Greseth,John Nelson, Bailey Paquin,

Hudson Ades, Ben Bohn, HaylieVezzoli, Luke Nelson, Ella Lee,Eli Bushman, Melanie Knealing,Kate Rechtzigel, Corissa Kern,Kalley Seeger, Kadey Seeger,Bailey Auseth, Rosie Briemhurst,Anna Washburn, AllisonTimbeross, Maddie Born, AmberOlson, Celia Brazelton, TaylorHelland, Ashlee Blastervold, CassKern, Ebelin Morales, MaddiePatterson, Amanda Horn, VictoriaHolmes, Sophia Holmes, JessiThompson, Sophie Kyllo, KylaKincaid, Faith Eggerstedt, andTyler Craig. Backstage crew mem-bers include Fran Miles, EmilyPliscott, Alex Trapp, SamBoughton, and Ellyn Buelke.

Hockinson said, “The generoussupport of and help from the schooldistrict and communities has beenhumbling and motivating to thoseof us working on stage. This is thebiggest and most challenging showever done at Kenyon-Wanamingoand we have been stretched. Whenperformance time comes we willtell the story the best we can withwhat we have.”

By Faye HaugenROCHESTER – You would

have to search far and wide to finda wrestling program that is as con-sistent as the Kenyon-Wanamingowrestling team. The Knights quali-fied for the State Class A meet in2008 and 2009, but they have beenon the outside looking in from thatpoint on. For the fifth straight year,the Knights finished as the Sec-tion 1A second-place team.

For the second straight yearChatfield took top teams honors,and the Gophers will head northto St. Paul for the Class A tourna-ment. Zumbrota-Mazeppa sent theKnights home from the Section1A meet from 2010 through 2012with the second-place trophy.

“We needed to be perfect againstChatfield and we weren’t. We madea few mistakes and they made uspay for them. We just didn’t getthe job done, and I’m a little dis-appointed with the way wewrestled,” said Coach Matt Ryan.“But we can’t be disappointed withour season. We finished with a21-2 record, and our only lossesare to Kasson-Mantorville andChatfield and both of them areheaded to State.”Chatfield

When Kenyon-Wanamingo andChatfield squared off in anonconference dual on December19, everything went right for theKnights. They didn’t give up bo-nus points, got some wins that werenot expected and they wrestledvery well in a 35-27 victory.

The seventh-ranked Gophers andeighth-ranked Knights were des-tined to meet again, but this timeit did not go as well for KW, andthey fell 41-14 in the Section 1Achampionship match in Roches-ter, Saturday.

“This match was almost theopposite of that first match. Ithought we were a bit of an under-dog coming in, but I didn’t expectto lose that bad,” lamented CoachRyan. “This is the fifth year in arow that we didn’t get it done.”

The top-seeded Knights got offto the start they wanted when EthanCota earned a decision at 106

pounds. But KW would have towrestle six more matches to gettheir next win. By that time theytrailed 18-3. Trent Brossard gotKW back on track with a decisionat 145, handing fifth-ranked AJRiley his third loss of the season.But the second-seeded Gophersthen reeled off two falls to increasetheir lead to 30-6.

Luke Rechtzigel earned a deci-sion at 160 and Drew Sathrumwon by technical fall at 170 todraw KW to 30-14. When Chat-field earned a major decision at195 pounds, they sealed their sec-ond straight section title.

This isher fifth State trip, only missingout her eighth grade year,” saidCoach Chris Templeton. “She hada season best 9.5 on the floor, andit was nice to see her hit her floorroutine. The last two years shehas taken a fall in this event. Shealso landed her vault, but didn’treceive the score she deserved inmy opinion.”

McNallan placed third on thebars and fourth on the floor andall around. Competition starts at11 a.m. on Saturday.

Ourcounting scores were all over eightfor the first time this year. Thegirls really hit the vault, and allthe girls swung good bars,” pointedout Coach Templeton. “We’ve hadour struggles with beam this year,and although we didn’t completelyovercome them we did have a sea-son high team score. We also hadseason high scores on vault andfloor. Our team total of 135.225was also a season best.”

The Panthers peaked at the righttime of the season by evidence ofthe personal best scores they putup. Brittney Arndt (floor, vault,bars, beam, all around), BrookSchaefer (vault), Katie Schultz(vault) and Allie Anderson (beam)all had personal best scores dur-ing the meet.Caledonia/Spring Grove

“Vault went well for us, withthe girls taking four of the top fivespots. Bars didn’t go so good. Wehad three falls and our form wasoff tonight. The floor was bothgood and bad and we finished onthe beam. We’ve spent a lot oftime on beam the last two weeksand it’s starting to show. We onlycounted two falls, and our teamscore on beam of 32.775 was oursecond highest score of the sea-son,” explained Coach Temple-ton.

Placing against Caledonia wereSiera McNallan, first on the bars,vault, floor and all around; KatieSchultz, second on the floor; andBrook Schaefer, second on thebeam and third on the bars and allaround.

The girlsnow on our jazz teams have neverknown what it is like to not ad-vance to State.”

The Cougars will graduate sevenseniors in Abby Hinchley, Am-ber Klankowski, Anna Budensiek,Lindsey Renken, Jennica Darcy,Lisa Ecker and Michelle Nyga-ard.

We want to make sure weget back to State again next year.”
