City of Kasson 2012 Drinking Water Report

The City of Kasson is issuing the results of monitoring done on its drinking water for theperiod from January 1 to December 31, 2012. The purpose of this report is to advance con-sumers’ understanding of drinking water and heighten awareness of the need to protect pre-cious water resources.

Source of WaterThe City of Kasson provides water to its residents from a ground water source: three

wells ranging from 828 to 857 feet deep, that draw from the Jordan Aquifer.The Minnesota Department of Health has determined that the sources used to supply

your drinking water are not particularly susceptible to contamination. If you wish toobtain the entire source water assessment regarding your drinking water, please call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours. Also, you can view it onlineat www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa.

Call (507)634-7602 if you have questions about the City of Kasson drinking water orwould like information about opportunities for public participation in decisions that mayaffect the quality of the water.

Results of MonitoringNo contaminants were detected at levels that violated federal drinking water standards.

However, some contaminants were detected in trace amounts that were below legal limits.The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace amounts lastyear. (Some contaminants are sampled less frequently than once a year; as a result, not allcontaminants were sampled for in 2012. If any of these contaminants were detected thelast time they were sampled for, they are included in the table along with the date that thedetection occurred.)

Key to abbreviations: MCLG-Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water

below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin ofsafety.

MCL-Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowedin drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best availabletreatment technology.

MRDL-Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level.MRDLG-Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal.AL-Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treat-

ment or other requirement, which a water system must follow.90th Percentile Level-This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the sam-

ples taken that had the highest levels. (For example, in a situation in which 10 samples weretaken, the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest result, which rep-resents 10 percent of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken, theaverage of the two with the highest levels is taken to determine the 90th percentile level.

pCi/l-PicoCuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity).ppm-Parts per million, which can also be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/l).ppb-Parts per billion, which can also be expressed as micrograms per liter ( ug/l).nd-No DetectionN/A-Not Applicable (does not apply).

*This is the value used to determine compliance with federal standards. It sometimes is

the highest value detected and sometimes is an average of all the detected values. If it is anaverage, it may contain sampling results from the previous year.

Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water RegulationsThe sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes,

streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land orthrough the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactivematerial, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from humanactivity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treat-

ment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or

result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil andgas production, mining, or farming.

Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture,urban storm water runoff, and residential uses.

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, whichare by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come fromgas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.

Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gasproduction and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U. S. Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in waterprovided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish lim-its for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for publichealth.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at leastsmall amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarilyindicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potentialhealth effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s SafeDrinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the gen-eral population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoingchemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS orother immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk frominfections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health careproviders. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection byCryptosporidium are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

Comment: The Consumer Confidence Report for the City of Kasson will not be directlymailed to all customers, but a copy is available upon request by calling 507-634-7602.

PWSID: 1200005

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnantwomen and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and componentsassociated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Kasson is responsible for providing highquality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components.When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead expo-sure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. Ifyou are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Informationon lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is avail-able from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLs establishedfor them and are not required to be monitored under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Results may beavailable by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours.

If any of these contaminants were detected the last timethey were sampled for, they are included in the table along with the date that the detectionoccurred.)

Key to abbreviations:MCLG-Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking

water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a marginof safety.

MCL-Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowedin drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best availabletreatment technology.

MRDL-Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level.MRDLG-Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level GoalAL-Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant, which, if exceeded, triggers treat-

ment or other requirement which a water system must follow.90th Percentile Level—This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the

samples taken that had the highest levels. (For example, in a situation in which 10 sampleswere taken, the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest result, whichrepresents 10 percent of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken,the average of the two with the highest levels is taken to determine the 90th percentile level.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoingchemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularily at risk frominfections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

by Randy Carlsen

Ryan Lins, a research and development scientistfor Syngenta, traveled to Mozambique on a volunteerassignment with the United States Agency forInternational Development (USAID) through theFarmer-to-Farmer program. Ryan works out of hishome in Byron and does product evaluation and bio-logical assessment for Syngenta (primarily weed con-trol).

The program relies on the expertise of volunteersfrom farms in the United States, land grant universi-ties, cooperatives and private agribusiness to provideshort term technical assistance. The volunteers pro-vide support throughout a variety of agricultural com-modities, including work with fruit and vegetable,grains, dairy and livestock.

Syngenta is a crop protection and seed companyRyan has worked for since 2005. With the main head-quarters in Switzerland, the company approved of hisdesire to volunteer his services in a third world coun-try.

“I volunteered for the program two years ago,” saidRyan. When Ryan was first contacted they inquiredabout an assignment focused on soil fertility, but theassignment did not fit his expertise or schedule.However, within two months another assignment cameup that better fit his background. This assignmentfocused on an area in Mozambique, Africa where farm-ers had a fruit fly infestation.

Ryan had some time to do background research onthe fruit fly infestation and problems they were hav-ing. The main crops affected were mango, bananas,avocado and bell peppers.

The most concerning problem with the infestationis the fact they could not export the products to theirbiggest customer, South Africa, due to quarantinerestrictions. That loss has been severely limiting localagriculture revenues.

Upon arriving in Mozambique Ryan met with theirdepartment of agriculture and a number of growergroups. He then traveled out into the countryside withpeople from the ag department and an interpreter tocollect a number of fruit fly traps. “It did not take longto see how bad the problem was,” said Ryan. “Therewere thousands of these fruit flies in one trap.”

They did meet up with progressive farmers whoknew how to minimize the fruit fly problem. Theywere however in the minority.

Many of the farmers had no control measures inplace. Additionally, the Department of Agriculture waspromoting an eradication program, but the fruit flyinfestation was so big that eradication was ineffective.Farmers also have limited resources and funds to erad-icate.

After talking to people from the Mozambique AgDepartment, grower groups and traveling into the fieldto talk to farmers, Ryan put together a 12 point planon how the farmers can manage the pest. “Even if theyimplement four or five of these points they could make

their products exportable,” said Ryan. A couple of the points had to do with simple

orchard sanitation. The farmers were not cleaning upfallen fruit under the trees. Another of the points wasdetermining when the fruit was most vulnerable tofruit fly damage and protecting the fruit during thosegrowth stages.

Another problem in a third world country likeMozambique is they don’t have “information sharingnetworks”. “In the United States we have theUniversity extension system. They don’t have that net-work of information and good ways in relaying that tothe farmers,” said Ryan. Many of the farmers weremisusing control options that were available, and inmany cases this was contributing to the problem byusing those controls.

Ryan feels that he can make a difference for thefarmers he worked with if his recommendations aretaken into consideration. Mozambique is a very poorcountry. What most people don’t realize though isthey can grow enough food to feed all the people.“Poor infrastructure and lack of organization preventsthat from happening,” he said.

An American research and development scientistwith Syngenta from Byron, MN attempted to make adifference in the way farmers from Mozambique dealwith a fruit fly infestation. “It was a very fulfillingexperience and I felt like I was helpful,” said Ryan. It’snow up to them to follow through.

Research and development scientist Ryan Lins of Byronvolunteers for Farmer-to-Farmer program in Africa

Byron resident Ryan Lins, a research and developmentscientist with Syngenta, collects a fruit fly trap with LouisBota from the Mozambique Department of Agriculture andanother staff member.

Workers are on break at a mango farm. Notice the mountains in the background.

This is the typical farm yard in Mozambique. Fruit farming is very popular and the fruit fly infes-tation has become a big concern.

Ryan Lins is collecting fruit in the bush from a marula treewhich grows wild. A local farmer looks on.

A farm manager stands near one of the fruit fly traps.

Ryan Lins stayed in the town of Chimoio, Mozam-bique while serving as a volunteer for the Farmer-to-Farmer program. This young boy was taking a nap on alog next to a “corn crop” in town. This is open polli-nated corn where they save the seeds and replant.

Ryan Lins talks to a farmer about the fruit flyinfestation in Mozambique which has prevented farm-ers from exporting their fruit crops to their biggestcustomer, South Africa.

Habitat for Humanity plansfor another K-M home

Following recent success-es building homes in Kassonand Mantorville, Habitat forHumanity has begun plan-ning for another KM home tobe built in 2014/2015. Thelocal KMHH steering com-mittee has entered the initialplanning stage and is current-ly searching for potentialbuilding sites. They have alsobegan fundraising, with theirfirst event being a wafflebreakfast on Saturday May 4,7:30 am to 11:30 am, at St.John’s Lutheran Church inKasson.

Please contact theRochester Area Habitat forHumanity office at (507-252-0849 or [email protected]) ifyou are interested in donatingtoward this project, interestedin joining the KMHH steer-ing committee, or looking formore information.

“Seeking to put God's loveinto action, Habitat forHumanity brings peopletogether to build homes,communities and hope.”

Three weeks ago ground was broken for the third Habitat for Humanity home in Dodge County forthe Adreon family in Dodge Center. Missy and Wayne Adreon and their six children had their ZumbroFalls home destroyed in the flooding. Friday construction started on the home with BCM of Faribaultdoing the excavating. Wayne works for the company and was working at the site (standing in thebackground). Missy is in the front watching as the hole grows.

This will be the second of three homes in Dodge County that has partnered with Thrivent byreceiving a grant. Th Adreon family is expected to move into their new home in December. Each fami-ly member 18 or older must contribute 200 hours of sweat equity to the project. They will receive aninterest free mortgage, but will make payments to pay the mortgage off.

Top driver distractionsDistracted driving can be very dangerous. Diverting one's

attention from the road for mere seconds can have serious,and potentially fatal, consequences. The Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention have found distracted driving killsmore than 15 people each day while injuring more than1,200. Any activity that takes attention away from driving isconsidered a distraction. These include taking your hands offthe wheel, daydreaming or engaging in any behavior thattakes your eyes off of the road. Certain activities are knowndistractions, and understanding which habits can be danger-ous and making strides to correct behaviors can help savelives, prevent injuries and reduce accident-related expenses.

A study by the National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration and the Virginia Tech Transportation Instituteindicates 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near-crash-es in the United States involve some form of driver distrac-tion. This distraction took place a mere three seconds beforethe vehicle crash. An Allstate Canada marketing survey of1,605 Canadian adults conducted between July 26 and July28 found that, although the vast majority of Canadians thinksdriving while distracted is unacceptable, nearly three out offour Canadian drivers admits to engaging in a behavior thatis considered a distraction. That is perhaps in part becausedrivers are not aware just how distracting some the followingbehaviors truly are.

Using mobile phones: Leading the list of the top distrac-tions behind the wheel are mobile phones. Phones now domore than just place calls, and drivers often cannot pull awayfrom their phones, even when driving. According to theCalifornia Department of Motor Vehicles, studies haveshown that driving performance is lowered and the level ofdistraction is higher for drivers who are heavily engaged incell phone conversations. The use of a hands-free device doesnot lower distraction levels. The percentage of vehicle crash-es and near-crashes attributed to dialing is nearly identical tothe number associated with talking or listening.

Accident rates have increased thanks to texting, whichinvolves a person taking his or her hands and eyes off of theroad. A 2009 study by Car and Driver magazine compared thedangers of texting while driving to the effects of drivingdrunk to see which would be more dangerous under the sameconditions. Measuring the time it takes to brake after beingalerted by a red light to stop, the reaction time was recordedwhen the driver was legally drunk, reading an e-mail andsending a text. Texting easily elicited the slowest responsetime.

Ironically, in January 2011, Texas man Chance Bothedrove off of a cliff after texting that he had to stop texting orrisk dying in a car accident. Bothe survived but sustained sig-nificant injuries and had to be revived from death three times.

Moving Objects: Whether there's a pet bouncing in thefront seat or children being boisterous in the back, passengersand items moving around the car are significant distractions.Turning around to look at the kids or to reach for a ball thatmay be rolling around on the floor of the car can take a per-son's eyes off the road. If something really is important andneeds to be addressed, it is much safer to pull over and takecare of it before getting back on the road.

Daydreaming: Many people will admit to daydreamingbehind the wheel or looking at a person or object outside ofthe car for too long. Perhaps they're checking out a house ina new neighborhood or thought they saw someone they knewon the street corner. It can be easy to veer into the directionyour eyes are focused, causing an accident. In addition to try-ing to stay focused on the road, some drivers prefer the helpof lane departure warning systems.

Eating: Those who haven't quite mastered walking andchewing gum at the same time may want to avoid eatingwhile driving. The majority of foods require a person's handsto be taken off of the wheel and their eyes to be diverted fromthe road. Reaching in the back seat to share some French frieswith the kids is also distracting. Try to eat meals before get-ting in the car. For those who must snack while en route, takea moment to pull over at a rest area and spend 10 minutessnacking there before resuming the trip.

Reading: Glancing at an advertisement, updating aFacebook status or reading a book are all activities thatshould be avoided when driving. Even pouring over a trafficmap or consulting the digital display of a GPS system can bedistracting.

When driving, attention should be placed on the task ofsafely getting from point A to point B. All other activities tak-ing place in the vehicle are distractions that can end up risk-ing a person's life.

n By Duane Quam, State Representative, HD29A/25A

On April 23, 2013 the MinnesotaHouse debated and passed theOmnibus K-12 Education Financebill, the largest single expenditure ofour state’s budget. In our current bud-get, passed in 2011, we provided a 33% increase and spent $15.5 billion.This budget also helped spur over$300 million in surplus that will beused to pay back the school shift.With $15.7 billion in funding for ourpublic schools, the bill also creates

millions in new bureaucratic mandates that funnel moneyoutside of the classroom. Line items like new “regional cen-ters of excellence” aren’t necessary to improve the class-room experience for our kids.

Even more concerning, however, is the elimination ofgraduation standards that got slipped into the bill. Currently,Minnesota High Schoolers take several assessments in orderto qualify for a high school diploma. Two of these GRAD(Graduation Required Assessment for Diploma) tests includethe GRAD Writing Test given at grade nine and the Grade10 Reading MCA. These tests are now on the choppingblock.

Why would we remove statewide comprehensive stan-dards for our students? Embarrassed by poor results in theirmetro school districts, some powerful education groups haveapplied great pressure on Governor Dayton and myDemocrat colleagues in the legislature to do-away with thesemeasurements. Unfortunately for our students, the pressureworked.

House moves ahead with damagingchanges to education and taxes

CITY OF KASSONREQUEST FOR STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS FOR

ARCHITECTURAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

F:19,20c

With great concern for our local schools and studentreadiness for post-graduation, I spoke with several teachersin our district and offered an amendment to the K-12 billwhich would have kept a grad standard in place. Through anaccumulation of scores across subject areas, my amendmentwould have allowed an overall positive score for studentsand teacher candidates to outweigh a potentially lower scorein one subject area. It would have kept a state standard forour graduates and our new teachers in place.

My amendment was rejected by House Democrats and theelimination of crucial learning measurement benchmarkswill march on.

On Wednesday night, the House also passed the largesttax increase in three decades. Paid for with new higherincome taxes and a shift in lower and middle income brack-ets, the bill also brings about higher sales taxes on alcoholproducts and tobacco. One lesser known item in HF677(Omnibus Tax Bill) is the elimination of the state’s charita-ble giving tax credit for those that itemize deductions, aswell as the elimination of a tax credit for purchasing long-term care insurance.

With new taxes and fees totaling $3 billion over the nexttwo years, people from our area across income levels willfeel the bite of this stone-cold job killer. Businesses willhave less to hire and grow jobs, and may raise prices orclose down. Farmers will not see the property tax relief theydeserve, because the bill is focused on metro-area interests.In all, the new taxes amount to over $500 for every man,woman and child in Minnesota, or $2000 for a family offour.

Both bills will now merge with Senate versions and returnto the House before they are given final passage and sent toGovernor Dayton.

Thank you for your input during these long weeks of ses-sion, I appreciate hearing from you.

How Health InsuranceMarketplaces Will Help EarlyRetirees

Dear Savvy Senior,What can you tell me about the new Obamacare

health insurance exchanges that begin next year? I aminterested in retiring early at age 61, but need to findsome affordable health until my Medicare benefitsbegin at 65.

Ready to RetireDear Ready,The new health insurance exchanges – also known as

Health Insurance Marketplaces – that begin in 2014 will bea welcome benefit to millions of Americans who needhealth insurance, especially uninsured baby boomers andpre-Medicare retirees who often have a difficult time findingaffordable coverage.

How It Will WorkAs part of the Affordable Care Act, starting Oct. 1 you

will be able to shop and compare health insurance policiesin your area, and enroll in one directly through your state’sHealth Insurance Marketplace website. The policies will gointo effect on Jan. 1, 2014.

You’ll also be happy to know that federal law dictatesthat Marketplace insurers cannot deny you coverage orcharge you higher rates based on pre-existing health condi-tions, and they can’t charge women more than men. But,they can charge older customers more than younger ones –up to three times more.

Every state will have a Marketplace, but each state canchoose how it will operate. Seventeen states and theDistrict of Columbia will run their own state-basedMarketplace, seven states will partner with the federal gov-ernment, and 26 states will offer federal Marketplaces. Thedifferences between federal and state programs will besubtle. You will be able to access your state’s HealthInsurance Marketplace at healthcare.gov.

The policies available through these Marketplaces willbe sold by insurance companies and will provide a pack-age of 10 essential benefits, including emergency services,hospital care, lab services, prescription drugs, doctor visits,preventive care and rehab services.

To make shopping and comparing a little easier, thehealth plans will be divided into four different levels –bronze, silver, gold and platinum – each offering similarbenefits but with a different cost structure. The bronze planwill have the lowest monthly premiums but have highestout-of-pocket costs, while the platinum plans will have thehighest premiums but the lowest deductibles and co-pay-ments.

The Marketplaces will also offer a toll-free hotline tohelp you choose a plan that meets your needs and budget.These helpers aren’t associated with any particular plan,and they aren’t on any type of commission, so the helpthey give you will be completely unbiased.

Costs and Tax-CreditsPrices will vary depending on where you live, your age

and the health plan you choose. Exact cost structures formost Marketplaces will be released within the next fewmonths.

To help make coverage affordable, sliding scale tax-credits will be available if you earn less than 400 percent ofthe poverty level – that’s $45,960 for a single person and$62,040 for couples. These tax-credit subsidies will provideimmediate savings off your monthly premiums.

To find out if you qualify, or see how much a tax-creditwill reduce your monthly costs, you’ll need to submit aMarketplace application in October, or when you decideenroll. In the meantime, you can calculate your potentialtax-credit premium savings by using the Kaiser FamilyFoundation calculator at healthreform.kff.org – click on“Interactive Features” and then scroll down to “SubsidyCalculator.”

For more information on the Health InsuranceMarketplaces including a checklist of things you can donow to help you choose a plan, visit healthcare.gov/mar-ketplace.

Veteran’s View

Name: Dennis Vang

Branch: Navy Air

Years of service: March 1957-March 1963

Why are you supporting the Veteran’s Memorial inDodge Center?

I am proud to have served my country and those whoserved need to be remembered.

Do you have any memories you wish to share of yourtime in the military?

I joined the U.S.A. Navy Air while still in high schoolunder a special six-year program. After graduating, I spenttwo years active duty - the first year on Midway Island andanother year on Barber’s Point, Hawaii. While there, I wasan aviation structural mechanic second class petty officer. Iwas an E-5 upon my Honorable Discharge. The rest of myduty was in the Navy Reserve.

When first assigned to Midway Island, the wrecked Japan-ese ships that were hung up and rusting on the reef impressedme. It was a sign that during the War in the Pacific no Japan-ese made it onto Midway. The Battle of Midway in 1942was the turning point of WW II in the Pacific for the Ameri-cans.

Our barracks held the reminders of that battle for thebeams were bent where the shells had hit them.

As an 18-year old I felt like the rest of the sailors…Mid-way was for the birds. The island is half a mile by one and ahalf miles and loaded with albatrosses. Because of the size ofthese large birds no jets were allowed there. Only propellerdriven aircraft could be used for antisubmarine warfare. Ourplanes flew from Midway to Alaska and back protecting ourcountry from enemy submarines.

Veteran’s View is a collaboration with the Dodge CenterFoundation. It highlights veterans who will be recognized inthe Dodge Center Veteran’s Memorial, which will begin con-struction this spring. For more information or to purchase apaver, please contact Gary Trelstad at 374-6115 or BillKetchum at 374-6049.

The Southeast Minnesota HumanServices Delivery Authority reviews progress

The Southeast Minnesota Human Services DeliveryAuthority is holding meetings to review the progress on cre-ating a common human services department across Dodge,Mower, Steele and Waseca counties.

The first meeting was Friday, April 26, with agencies andproviders who partner with human services. The second meet-ing was held Tuesday, April 30, with the four counties’ com-missioners. Both meetings were held at the Steele CountyHistory Center, located at Steele County Fairgrounds.

The Authority is working on an innovative model thatwould combine four human services departments into one. Itpromotes the idea that one larger department would more effi-ciently use tax dollars to better meet the needs of human ser-vice clients by sharing expertise, staff and technology.

The meetings presented the proposed model, discussednext steps and answered questions. County commissioners inthe four counties will soon be making a decision on movingto the next phase in the implementation process.

Human services departments provide a number of state-mandated programs and services to protect and help childrenand adults who have health, financial, social or family needsand connect them with other community social serviceproviders, agencies, and the financial and other resources thatwill help them live safely with independence and dignity.

Anyone who knows if the photo above would have been taken in the Mantorville, Kasson, Dodge Center or HayfieldOpera House is asked to contact the Dodge County Historical Society at 615 Main St., Mantorville, MN 55955 or bycalling (507) 635-5508, or emailing [email protected]

The economy is beginning to showimprovement and employers throughoutSoutheast Minnesota are gearing up forincreased competition for talented workers.Vying to be recognized as one of the area’sBest Places To Work is exactly where everybusiness will want to be. Thanks to theWorkforce Development, Inc., the SoutheastMinnesota Workforce Investment Board, weall now know who some of those companiesare in Southeast Minnesota. Fifteen compa-nies were recognized as the “Best Places toWork” in Southeast Minnesota at an eventheld on Thursday, April 25 at the RochesterInternational Event Center. The companiesrecognized include:

Small Employer(100 employees and Under)Cooperative Response CenterGauthier IndustriesIBI DataSoutheast Service CooperativeUS Water Filters

Mid-Size Employer(101-400 employees)Alamco Wood Products, Inc.Alliance Benefit GroupInnovanceMcNeilus Steel, Inc.Rochester Motor Cars

Large Employer(Over 400 employees)CliftonLarsonAllen LLPHearth & Home TechnologiesPace Dairy Foods Olmstead Medical CenterThe Bergquist Company

The “Best Places to Work” awards pro-gram was a commissioned study by Work-force Development, Inc. The purpose of theprogram was to recognize some of the bestemployers in the local area and provide vitalinformation to companies about the practicesthey use to attract and retain employees.Each company participating was required tocomplete a 40-question survey that allowedtheir employment practices to be analyzed bythe consulting firm of Personnel Dynamics

Consulting of Florida. Every company par-ticipating in the survey will receive adetailed 19-page report detailing the infor-mation on their company and the results ofthe survey.

The data was measured on such parame-ters as: turnover, rate of growth, promotionrates, employee evaluations and feedback,percentage of employee injured, diversity ofmanagement, benefits offered, trainingexpenditures, paid days off and increase inpay.

Employers also have an opportunity tohighlight programs they are most proud of,or Best Practices that they believe have apositive impact on their workforce. Manyhighlighted the investments they make inprofessional development, employee trainingprograms and profit sharing. Tele-commut-ing opportunities and Employee AssistancePrograms (EAPs) are also common amongthe recognized organizations, as are newemployee mentoring/buddy orientation pro-grams. Some organizations even providelow interest or interest free loans to theirworkforce.

A common theme within all of the recog-nized organizations is the value they place onrecognizing and appreciating their staff.Examples include an Employee AppreciationWeek when staff is given gifts and food isbrought in throughout the week. Otherexamples include: “Ice-Cream Thursdays”in the summer, “Bagel Mondays”, familyoutings, wellness events including flu shotclinics for families, nutrition/exercise classesand “Biggest Loser” style competitions,walking trails, basketball courts, and kickballtournaments. Some organizations use “Peerto Peer” awards, and “High Fives” to provideopportunities for staff to recognize eachother.

Overall, these organizations make sub-stantial investment in training and retainingtheir staff. The return on their investment isa highly engaged, highly satisfied workforcethat is proud to work for each of these orga-nizations.

Workforce Development, Inc. and partnersare proud to bring the “Best Places to Work”program to Southeast Minnesota.
