By Bob Schmidt
innocent black youth and the injustice that the black community
suffers in American society. The
facts of course, are quite different. Brown had just robbed and
strong-armed a convenience store
clerk, he slugged Officer Wilson
and fought him for the officers
gun, he charged Wilson and likely
would have killed him if Wilson
had not defended himself. The
storyline that emerged from
Sharpton was Hands UpDont
Shoot, a totally false narrative
implying that Brown was innocent of any attack on the officer.
Leading the 2014 antihero list
is New York City Mayor Bill De
Blasio, another race hustler from
the Sharpton mold, but with more
power, and now, because of the
execution style murders of NYPD
officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael
Ramos, quite probably with blood
on his hands.
In 2013, De Blasio ran a campaign for mayor implying that the
NYPD was out of control. The
Stop and Frisk policy which had
been credited with sharply reducing crime was, according to De
Blasio, discriminatory and must
be stopped.
When Eric Garner was tragically killed by Officer Daniel
Pantaleo during an attempted arrest in July 2014, and no indictment was returned by the grand
jury, De Blasio went over the top.
He even used his own bi-racial
son as a prop to discredit the NYPD,
stating how non-whites must be
especially careful in dealing with
the police and calling for new racial sensitivity training for the
police.
Here is what a couple of NYPD
veterans are saying (posted December 20 on Real Clear Politics)first Bo Dietl, former detective:
This guy is a disgrace. Hes
divided this country and this punk
Sharpton here marching around
last week with those demonstrations. What do we want, dead
cops? Well, they got two dead
cops.
Former NYPD commissioner
Bernard Kerik agreed with Dietl,
saying de Blasio should go.
He cant lead the city. The men
and women in the NYPD dont
respect him. Theyre never going
to respect him, Kerik said.
In summary, the four individualsVentura, Feinstein, Sharpton,
and De Blasionamed to the antihero list either contributed to a
deterioration of our society or to
Americas diminished security.
We would have been better off if
they had kept their egos in check
in 2014.
God bless America!

To the Editor:
From Winona to Dennison, Ive
had the privilege to campaign and
meet thousands of people over the
years. As many of you know, there
was a recount for the mayoral position in Dennison. While it took
some time for democracy to work,
I had the good fortune to prevail
in this election.
I think the voters of Dennison
should be proud of their high participation and engagement of the
candidates. When the overall participation of voters in this state
dropped again for a non-presidential election year, Dennison bucked
the trend. Whether it was new ideas
or old grievances, people showed
up to vote. Ultimately, this was a
victory in the bigger sense for local control and new leadership.
The process isnt always neat and
simple, and I dont claim some
magical formula, but voters should
be able to look the candidate in
the eyes and make their own judg-
ments.
What concerns me as a taxpayer
and citizen of the United States is
the outrageous amount of money
pouring into federal elections. With
the passing of the federal budget
in the last week or so, the problem
will only get worse. Whats disgusting in the legislation is the
rider allowing donors to increase
their contributions by about ten
times to a political party. If you
thought you saw enough commercials on TV for candidates this
past fall, wait until 2016. I believe
raising more money from the few
will only lead to more distrust and
apathy for most of the voters. Its
a vicious cycle that will have no
end.
At least on the local leave, issues matter more than money. We
are expected to be held accountable, something I cant say for Congress.

PINE ISLAND On December 14, the New Haven Sodbusters
were busy singing holiday songs
to the residents of Pine Haven Care
Center. Dressed in festive attire,
the members and their families
strolled the halls and shared some
merriment with the residents, stopping at rooms to sing a requested
favorite tune. After caroling, all
the members met at St. Michaels
Catholic Church for the monthly
meeting. Vice president, Andrew
Bogard called the meeting to order with flag pledges led by the
Corey and Barb Allen Family and
Jan McNallan. Following the
secretarys, treasurers, reporters,
and historians reports, demonstrations were given. Ryan
Kohlmeyer showed how to make
given. The club members and family all donated toys for the Toys
for Tots drive and a group picture
was taken. Two community service projects were discussed:
L.O.V.E. project and the Eagles
Cancer Telethon bake sale. The
Cloverbuds each made a holiday
card for a person they love and
displayed his/her card for the entire club to see. To finish the busy
evening, the club played holiday
Bingo with prizes donated by Jan
McNallan. Then families enjoyed
a wonderful feast of turkey, ham,
salads, veggies, desserts and more.

-15 Did you know that each
de-icing product has a temperature at which it will stop working? Did you know that minimum
temperature refers to the temperature of your pavement and not that
of the air? Unfortunately many
home and business owners are
wasting money when they use the
wrong type of product or use way
too much for the project. A driveway with visible salt residue after
the snow has melted is a prime
example of over-application. Misuse of de-icing products can result in slippery sidewalks, dead
vegetation, high costs, and polluted waterways. Join us to learn
how to read de-icing labels, which
products work at particular temperatures, and proper application
techniques. This program will help

fourth and fifth grade girls has
taken part in some exciting opportunities this past fall and winter. Fourth grade girls Sophia
Culuris and Edyn Hudson, and fifth
grade girls Rachel Nesseth, Esmee
Solberg, and Bryanna Schmitt have
taken part in adventures and gathered knowledge that will surely
last them a lifetime. Troop leader

done some pretty cool stuff this
year!
Since September the girls have
traveled to Hamline University in
St. Paul to learn about government, St. Thomas University in
St. Paul to learn about engineering, and Xcel Energys Prairie Island Training Center near Welch
to study nuclear energy. The troop
also earned their Staying Fit badge
at Ah-sirt Fitness in Zumbrota, in
addition to filling boxes with gifts
for Operation Christmas Child and
caroling at Heritage Hill senior
living center in Wanamingo.
Upcoming planned activities
include going snowshoeing,
geocaching, learning about inventors, and theatre. On January 3,
the Girl Scouts will be helping
with a chili supper to help raise
funds for the new ball field in
Wanamingo. In the spring the girls
will also be involved in some fun

PI earns their second win
By David Schueller

Fly fishing guide Dan Michener
walked to a partially snow-covered riverbank in Whitewater State
Park. He cast a tiny nymph into
the water several times then let it
drift through deeper pools, hoping to entice a trout to bite.
Although Michener bought his
first fly rod in 1967 and is no
stranger to winter trout fishing,
this season is bringing him some
firsts. For the first time, starting
on Thursday, Jan. 1, streams in an
eight-county area in southeastern
Minnesota will open to catch-andrelease trout fishing. In the past,
winter fishing in the area was limited to only a few designated
streams. And for the first time,
trout fishing in southeastern Minnesota state parks is open all year.
This is a new era for winter
fishing, Michener said.
Fishing for trout in winter
weather adds some unique challenges. Anglers use tackle generally designed for finesse during a
season when cold and bulky clothing seem to bedevil attempts at
graceful movement. Fingers stiffen
up. Ice seeks to clog line guides
and can foul up fly line, making
casting difficult. Because of the
cold, outings usually are limited
to a couple hours or so.
But all that isnt stopping
Michener, who has reached fishing spots in snowshoes, during
blizzards and in the cold. He had
good luck in the cold last winter
on a designated trout stream nearby.
It was three degrees. I was in
Lanesboro last year and I had really good fishing, Michener said.
Winter weather also is not appearing to stop the numerous anglers interested in winter fly fishing who have been calling the

PINE ISLAND The Pine Island gymnastics team earned their
second win in as many meets when
they topped Kasson-Mantorville,
Tuesday, in Pine Island, 124.78117.98
We had another good meet tonight. The score of 124.78 was a
season high said Coach Chris
Templeton. Floor and bars were
the highlight. Bailey Kuball, Brynn
Olson and Brittney Arendt scored
personal bests on bars, and Jenna
Locke, Megan Leland and Brynn
on the floor also set new individual
records.
Olson led the Panthers placing
first in vault, beam, floor and all
around, and she was third on the
bars. Arendt was second in the
vault and bars and third on the
beam and all around.
Our vaults were just a little off
with not a lot of power and too
many steps on the landings. We
had to count three falls on the beam
and we still need to work on our
leap and tumbling connections,
explained Coach Templeton, who
added, As a team, we have scored
82 personal bests in five meets.
