The Minnesota Department ofTransportation, in cooperation with

the Federal Railroad Administra-tion and the Olmsted County Re-gional Railroad Authority, is pre-paring a Tier I EnvironmentalImpact Statement to evaluate po-tential passenger rail alternativesfor the Rochester Twin CitiesPassenger Rail Corridor Invest-ment Plan (Zip Rail) in compli-ance with the National Environ-mental Policy Act of 1969.

Public information meetings arescheduled from 5-7 p.m. July 29in Rochester (Rochester Commu-nity and Technical College, HeintzCenter Commons Area, 1926 Col-lege View Road East); July 30 inInver Grove Heights (Inver GroveCommunity Center, CommunityRoom 2, 8055 Barbara Ave); andJuly 31 in Kenyon (Kenyon-

Wanamingo High School, com-mons area and auditorium, 4006th Street). A brief presentation isscheduled for 5:30 p.m. at eachmeeting.

As part of the Tier I EIS, anEnvironmental Scoping Bookletand Draft Scoping Decision Docu-ment are available for public re-

view and comment. The documentsdescribe the purpose and need for

high-speed passenger rail servicebetween Rochester and the TwinCities, and information on alter-natives that will be carried intothe Tier 1 EIS.

The study area includes an ap-proximately 100-mile corridorbetween Rochester and the TwinCities being examined for poten-tial high-speed rail service. Thestudy area includes Dakota, Dodge,Goodhue, Hennepin, Olmsted,Ramsey and Rice counties andvarious end points in the TwinCities and Rochester area. Pres-ently, there is not a continuousexisting railroad connection be-tween the Twin Cities and Roch-ester, so many of the potentialcorridors would create new trans-portation routes.

The environmental documentsare available for public review onthe project website, www.goziprail.org, or by hard copy at govern-ment offices and libraries through-out the corridor. Locations wherethe documents may be viewed areprovided on the project website.

The public meetings will pro-vide interested parties, stakeholders

and members of the public an op-portunity to review the documents,

ask questions and provide com-ments.Comments on the documents

will be accepted through August6, 2014, and may be submitted atone of the public meetings, viaemail, voicemail, or U.S. mail.

Power outageon July 25By Marilyn Anderson

A 90-minute electrical outageaffected the cities of Zumbrota andWanamingo and Xcel Energy cus-tomers between the two townsFriday evening, July 25. The out-age was due to critical repairs be-ing made at the Zumbrota electri-cal substation transformer.

According to Tom Meyer, XcelEnergy district representative basedin Zumbrota, a periodic inspec-tion with an infrared camera onJuly 23 revealed that a secondarybushing on the main transformerwas failing. The temperature read-ing had increased even more whenrechecked Friday morning. It washeating up. We were fortunate to

have caught it when we did, Meyersaid. The proactive replacementof equipment was done to preventa future lengthy outage.

A three-person crew from theTwin Cities and three local line-men completed the repair.

The outage was shorter than thetime that Xcel customers were toldto expect. Notifications were sentprior to the outage by automatedphone messages to anticipate anoutage of 3-4 hours. Critical con-tacts, such as city services, carefacilities, and businesses, weremade individually. Additionalnews of the outage and its impactwere soon forwarded and com-municated via email, websites, andsocial media.

Jeff Nolte

By Tawny MichelsZUMBROTA Zumbrota-

Mazeppa School SuperintendentTony Simons has confirmed thatJeff Nolte has been hired as thenew high school principal. Noltewas the principal at Mabel-Can-ton K-12 Schools for the pastseven years. He replaces ErickEnger who accepted a positionas superintendent at Lake CityPublic Schools. Nolte currentlylives in Mabel but plans to moveto Zumbrota.

His education, experience,and implementation of programswe already use here at ZM playeda role in why he was chosen,Simons said of their new prin-cipal choice. The implemen-tation of one-to-one mobile inhis previous school is one ZMhopes to use soon, and we feelhe would be a great leader inhelping us achieve that.

Nolte is originally from SpringValley and is a graduate of the

University of Minnesota TwinCities. He is an avid fisherman,hunter, and outdoorsman. He hasthree children Hannah, 17;Isaiah, 14; and Elijah, 10 andhas been working in educationsince 1993.

I love kids and enjoy havinga positive impact on others,Nolte said of why he decided toget into education. I chose ZMfor the obvious reason that theyhad an opening, but more im-portantly because they have areputation of good academics,

and I want to continue that tra-dition while offering the bestexperience to both staff and stu-dents.

With twenty-one years of ex-perience in education under hisbelt, seven of those in adminis-

tration roles, Nolte looks for-ward to the coming school year.He said, I feel that our job aseducators is not just to teachmath, science, and writing butto help students grow into re-sponsible adults who make gooddecisions and the schools ROAR(Respect Optimism AcceptanceResponsibility) program doesthat. I hope the students not onlyimplement that here at schoolbut that it sticks with them whenthey go out into the world.

FromDevilsKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

When will we learn? part four

Lets return to the initial issue

the Washington Redskins. We haveto take a hard look at the nameRedskins. One of the rules ofwarfare is to depersonalize theenemy and make them seem to beless than human. The command-ment Thou shalt not kill onlyapplies to humans, supposedly.Terms and phrases used this waybecame derogatory. For the Ameri-can Indian, the general term wasRedskin for a variety of rea-sons. The purpose was the same,to make the Native American seemless than human.

Trying to turn a negative terminto a positive one is both trickyand difficult. For the Washington

Redskins, the process was work-ing until some group set them back.Different organizations reacteddifferently to the complaint of usingreferences to Native Americans.For instance, the University ofNorth Dakota teams used theFighting Sioux and have notpicked a new name or mascot yet.

When is someone or some or-

ganization going to point out thatthe term Viking is a negativeterm meaning rape, plunder, pil-lage. Is this how we envision thefootball team? Is there any termthat cannot take on positive andnegative meanings depending onyour point of view? Washingtoncould become the WashingtonApples or Delicious Apples andthe mascot could be a red apple ora green worm.

Whatever the team owner de-cides to do, one thing is clear. ThePresident of these United Statesought to keep his mouth shut andmake sure that the rest of the gov-ernment also backs off and remains

quiet. The president has more im-portant issues to handle than whatthe mascot of a football team oughtto be.

What should we do about andwith the South American childrenseeking political asylum in theUSA? Do we send them backhome? Do we take them in alongwith the rest of the families? What

are the consequences of each an-swer? We, as a nation, cant de-cide and we need to!

If we decide to turn them away,should we change the poem onthe Statue of Liberty? Or shouldwe recognize them as endangeredand grant them an entrance intoour land? We need to decide nowand not in November as an elec-tion issue. If we wait and the issuegets an answer, Congress maynever decide whether to create lawsfor the answer. The president needsto leads us to a resolution. To saythat is his job is an understate-ment! Until next week.

To the Editor:

As the parents of Scott Honour,who is running for governor ofMinnesota, we have been ex-tremely lucky to be able to travelthe state talking about his plan tobetter our great state for years tocome.

Visiting Pine Island last weekwas an absolute pleasure. This city

has so much charm and such a

wonderful Minnesota feel, and theresidents were more than welcom-ing. We chatted with a variety offolks introducing them to our sonand hearing what they are lookingfor in their next governor. We onceagain heard that Minnesotans wanta change from the politics as usualsort of candidate and would ratherhave a candidate with a history of

To the Editor:All area property owners need

to attend the Zip Rail meetingThursday, July 31, 5-7 p.m., atKenyon-Wanamingo High School.This may be your only opportu-nity to express your feelings andconcerns about this project. Thename is misleading. This zip railis not a harmless recreationaldevice strung between trees. Thezip rail proposal is to build a bul-let train though the heart ofGoodhue County.

As planned, zip rail could ap-

propriate more than 1,000 acresof privately owned county land.So much land is needed because abullet train will require fencingoff an exclusion zone, a no-mansland 200 hundred to 400 feet across.While bringing the people of theTwin Cities and Rochester closertogether, this train will divide thefarms,and the townships ofGoodhue County. We will becomemore isolated and possibly sepa-rated from our current fire, ambu-lance and law enforcement ser-vices by this exclusion zone.

County and township snowplowswill have to go around, resultingin delays and increased expenses.

All of this is being done to cutforty minutes off the travel fromRochester to the Twin Cities. Noone in between will benefit. Itwould make so much more senseto spend the money to improveHighway 52, shortening drive timesfor all commuters. But, just maybe,doing the road improvements firstmight prove how unnecessary thispet project is?

By Marilyn AndersonZUMBROTA After ten

months, the major new construc-tion and renovation project at Zum-brota Care Center is in its finalstages of work. Occupancy of someof the newly constructed areas isexpected to begin by mid-August.Some remodeled areas in the ex-isting nursing home area are al-ready being utilized. Constructionat the facility, located at the cor-ner of West 4th Street and MillStreet, began after groundbreakingceremonies were held September11, 2013.

While the building appears com-plete on the outside, finishing workremains inside. Scott Jackson,administrator and project director

for Zumbrota Health Services(ZHS), said the construction hasremained mostly on schedule withvariations due to weather. Whilethe footings were in place aheadof schedule, the wet weather im-pacted planned work later. How-ever, crews adapted the scheduleand worked on other aspects so itall worked out well, Jackson said.

The project expands the currentnursing home facility on two lev-els to the east of the already exist-ing building. In addition to thecare center providing full serviceskilled nursing care and compre-

hensive rehabilitation services,ZHS also includes an attachedassisted living entity called TheBridges of Zumbrota. ZHS is afaith based, non-profit subsidiarywholly owned by St. Francis HealthServices of Morris, Minnesota.Completion expected November 1

A few areas are finished and

being used. Though other areaswill be done within the next fewweeks, Jackson predicts it may bethe end of October or the first ofNovember before the project is100% completed.

Part of the renovated area of thecare center now houses a newbeauty shop that is already in use.

Next door is a new bathing suitewith a large walk-in shower and awalk-in tub. Heat panels in theceiling and attractive wall and floortiles add to the home-like feel ofthe area.

Soon to be completed is the newspacious kitchen area on the lowerlevel. The kitchen should be readyfor inspection within the next fewweeks. With large work areas, allstainless steel appliances, pantryand storage, the state-of-the-artkitchen will adequately serve the

residents of Zumbrota Care Cen-ter and The Bridges, as well ashave capacity for expansion ifneeded in the future. After the newcare center rooms open, the facil-ity will have capacity for 50 resi-dents. The Bridges has 22 resi-dents.

Once the new kitchen space isready and approved, the old kitchenwill be vacated and remodeled intoa new dining area. Also in the lowerlevel are new physical therapy andoccupational therapy areas. Theyare also nearing completion.

The upper level contains the newresident rooms. The sixteen pri-vate or split double rooms are situ-ated around a large indoor atriumpark. The rooms each have a housefront faade that are currentlybeing worked on. The insides ofthe rooms are complete with theexception of drapery and ward-robes.

The atrium will have a runningriver and a pond with trees to makefor an outdoor park-like setting.The high ceiling is painted bluewith scattered clouds.ECFE space

One-third of the space on thelower level, along the side facing4th Street, is what Jackson refersto as the school space. Zum-brota-Mazeppa Schools will beusing the space for Early Child-hood Family Education programs.The area includes four classrooms,offices and a conference room.The space will house the three- tofour-year-old program.

On July 24, Zumbrota-Mazeppa

School Superintendent TonySimons toured the area with Jack-son. While Simons was expectingthe area to be available for occu-pancy October 1, he learned it maybe ready earlier.

Describing the new building andarea as exactly what we wanted,Simons noted how good it hadbeen to be involved from the get-go with the planning. In doingso, they were able to work throughall the details together in planningsuch things as installations of se-

A large shower is part of the new bathing suite already in use as part ofthe renovation at the Zumbrota Care Center. A walk-in tub is alsoavailable in the suite. A new hair salon is next door. Completion of thenew construction and remodeling project is expected by November 1.

From the outside, the new addition of the Zumbrota Care Center appears complete, though approximatelythree months of work inside remains. The new resident rooms and a large atrium occupy the upper level. Thelower level houses a new therapy department, and a new kitchen, pantry and storage areas. On the southside, facing 4th Street (left side of picture) are four classrooms, offices and conference room that theZumbrota-Mazeppa School District will use for pre-school programs. Access will be via the door under thecanopy. The adjacent Bridges of Zumbrota (assisted living) facility can be seen to the right.

Marilyn Goff wins grand championribbon at Dodge County Fair

Marilyn Goff displays her handmade Christmas tree skirt at Better Brew Coffee House in Pine Island on July22. Her entry won a grand champion ribbon at the Dodge County Fair on July 15.

By Audra DePestelPINE ISLAND Lifelong Pine

Island resident Marilyn (Andrist)Goff won a grand champion purpleribbon on July 15 at the DodgeCounty Fair for her Christmas treeskirt entry. Goff, who has enteredover 40 crocheting crafts at localfairs in the over 65 category forthe past 20 years, was more thansurprised when she won her firstgrand champion ribbon. She said,I entered it on a whim just for funand when I won the grand prize Iwas beyond surprised. I wasshocked.

Goff has won lots of other rib-bons over the years, more than

she cares to count, but finally tak-ing top honors was really a re-ward for something she loves todo as a hobby. I have made thissame pattern tree skirt before andgave it as a gift, but I never en-tered it in the fair. Its such a simplepattern and I never thought it wouldbe a grand champion, but the judgesliked that you cant tell the frontfrom the back, she said. Over theyears, Goff has generously donatedher time and talents to crochet forfamily and others. She has made

baby caps for newborns, prayershawls for women with breast can-

cer, dish scrubbies for church ba-zaars, afghans, quilts, scarves,socks and more.

Marilyn and Al Goff have beenmarried for 45 years and have raisedfive children. And they now havefive grandsons. The Goffs still liveon the original Andrist family farmlocated just west of Pine Island.Marilyn, who graduated from PineIsland School in 1949, recentlycelebrated a class reunion with nineother classmates on June 22.

Zumbrota Care Center expansion nearly complete

curity cameras and locks.Simons said that since the earlychildhood programs have beenrunning out of space, this will helpmeet the needs of the district. Wewant to provide good service andkeep the cost down. We want tokeep our young families in ourschool district, he said.

After completionOnce the building project is

complete, the lot across 4th Streetwill be leveled off. Part of it willbe used for parking spaces and theremainder will be green space.There are no other plans at thistime. Discussions are ongoing atthe corporate level regarding fu-ture needs of the community.

An open house will be held af-ter completion of the project. A

date has not yet been determined.Golden Harvest fundraiserFinal planning is underway for

the first annual Golden HarvestFine Dining Fundraiser. It will beheld Thursday evening, October23, from 6-8:30 p.m. in the MillRiver Addition of Zumbrota HealthServices. Money raised will beused toward resident activities andadditional equipment.

WanamingoWanamingo officials prepare forCenex 4 Addition developmentBy Alicia Hunt-Welch

WANAMINGO On July 14,city engineer Brandon Theobaldof WHKS Engineering of Roch-ester informed the Wana-mingoEconomic Development Author-ity (EDA) and the city council thatthe scope of the Concast expan-sion project has changed slightly.The business in the Industrial Parkwould like to expand their site andhas been working with the citytoward making this happen bypurchasing land to the south oftheir business. Currently the landsouth of Concast and Marcstoneis an outlot. For Concast to pur-chase additional land from the cityand expand their site, the city mustprepare the Cenex 4 Addition forinfrastructure and development.

For months the city and Concasthave been working toward anagreement for Concast to hire theexcavator, and to begin work ontheir site immediately. In exchange,the city would give consideration

for the cost of excavating the landpurchase. But Theobald andWanamingo City AdministratorMichael Boulton said that havingseparate attorneys reviewing andrevising proposed agreements hasbeen time consuming. Theobaldsaid the project is moving forward,

but with the city including all ex-cavating in their plans for devel-opment making it one publiclybid project.

The Cenex 4 Addition wouldinclude about 4.6 acres directlysouth of Concast that they wouldlike to purchase. In addition, theland directly south of Marcstone,next to Highway 57, would be plat-ted into three rectangular lots with-out utility easements to preparefor future sale to commercial busi-nesses.

Theobald submitted plans forgrading and roadway work to theEDA for their review. He notedthat a waiver of trespass will besecured giving the city authorityto complete work on Concastslot. The EDA approved the pur-chase agreement with Parrot HeadDevelopment, LLC, known asConcast, and approved the revisedpetition and waiver agreement withthe city on the addition. Approv-ing this resolution gave authority

to EDA president Jim Kittelson,Boulton, city staff, and consult-ants to take immediate actions tomove the project forward. Thecouncil also approved this waiver.

The council approved orderingimprovements and directing prepa-ration of final plans and specifi-

cations for Cenex 4 Addition, andauthorized calling for bids on theproject. They gave authorizationto submit a local governmentDEED business development in-frastructure grant in the amountof $255,000; this could assist with50% of utility infrastructure costs.Since the projects scope haschanged, the previous land pur-chase agreement was voided, andthe council approved a new pur-chase agreement between the cityand Parrot Head Development.

Advertising for contractor bidswould begin this week. Bids aredue August 6. The council wouldaccept bids August 11. Theobaldsaid grading work on the Concastsite would need to be completedby October 1, and contractorswould be subject to paying penal-ties if any deadlines are not met.Work on utilities along the 3rdAvenue corridor must be com-pleted by November 1. Theobaldrecommended that contractors be

given the option to delay road workuntil the fall of this year or thespring of 2015 to avoid the citypaying a premium for having allthe work done this year. Finalcompletion of street work, curb,gutter and bituminous would bedone by June 15, 2015.

Goodhue

By R.D. AalandGOODHUE At the Goodhue

School Board meeting on July 21,Superintendent Mike Redmondsuggested using equipment cer-tificates and capital facilities bondsfor completing capital projects.

When the certificates come duethey will be paid from capital rev-enue.

The advantage of doing this in-cludes completing large projectsand purchases in a timely mannerat todays prices. Also, there is noadditional burden to taxpayers, ascertificates and bonds are paid backusing capital revenue, and there isa potential to receive discounts onthe cost of projects and purchases.

Redmond used the pending oldwindows problem as an example.By replacing poor windows nowand paying for them later, the schoolwill gain heating cost savings im-mediately and for the duration ofthe bonds and certificates. Disad-vantages include some additionalcosts in order to be able to accessa sum of money large enough to

complete the projects and makepurchases.

The cost of issuance for bondsand certificates is slightly over 10%of the total proceeds and expectedto be approximately $25,000 on$240,000 in net proceeds. A por-tion of the districts capital rev-enue is locked in for ten years torepay the bonds and certificates ata cost of approximately $30,000per year.

Board member Mike Kehren said

that it could amount to a large sav-ings on just the cost today versuswhat it might be in ten years. Us-ing equipment certificates or capitalfacilities bonds, the board approvedthe following projects:

1. Replace all remaining single

pane windows, $162,8272. Installation of window shades,$17,700

3. Replacement of north side-walk, ($21,881 less 50% coveredby the city) $10,941

4. Repair of alley pavement,$10,448

5. Repair of northeast parkinglot, $20,895

6. Purchase of tractor, $14,332The total cost is $237,143In a related matter, Business

Manager Susan Paulson said that,as in past years, there may still besome short-term cash flow needs.In recent years, the school districthas issued $1.3 million annuallyin Aid Anticipation Certificates.Paulson said that because of animproved school funding outlookthe Aid Anticipation Certificates

will not be necessary for the up-coming school year, and the dis-trict can get by with a much lessexpensive line of credit to coverany short term cash flow needsthat may arise. She will be work-ing with First Farmers and Mer-chants Bank to set up this line ofcredit. This will provide a sub-stantial savings, as the loan appli-cation fee at the local bank is only$100.

Paulson also informed the board

that July is the first month of us-ing the new cash control spread-sheet. She said it is working fineand that Region V may adopt it asan example for other schools touse. She is continuing to work onfinalizing the fiscal year 2014

budget. It appears the schoolsexpenditures are running approxi-mately $50,000 greater than bud-geted. The one area in which ex-penditures are significantly greaterthan budgeted is in purchased ser-vices. This is due to the increasedcost purchases of natural gas andspecial education services. It isalso due to a new expenditure inthe purchased services category,the services of Teachers on Call(TOC). But there is still a greatdeal of reconciliation work to dobefore finishing with the 2014budget.Operating levy

There was more discussion onthe boards authority to implementan operating levy and local op-tional revenue. It was stated thatthe past two Minnesota legisla-

tive sessions have seen the imple-mentation of new funding optionsdesigned to provide greater eq-uity between the levy-rich dis-tricts primarily in the large metroareas and the levy-poor districtsoften found outstate.

These new funding options in-clude the ability of a school boardto access up to $724 in operatingrevenue without the need for voterapproval and a three-tiered sys-tem of equalizing state aid for this

operating revenue. Much more ofthe revenue coming to d istricts inthe first two tiers (up to $760 perpupil) of this three-tiered systemnow comes from state aid ratherthan from local taxes. The amountof state aid drops significantly in

the third tier for operating rev-enue (above $760 per pupil).Thus, a school board can now

access up to $724 in operating levyrevenue without voter approval.While new to Minnesota, it is foundin other states. The $724 is madeup of a $300 board approved levyand $424 of Local Optional Rev-enue. Interestingly, a school dis-trict must decide to opt in to the$300 board approved levy, but mustdecide to opt out of the local op-tional revenue.

The school board would like tohear from all concerned residentsabout this financing option.Superintendents report

Redmond spoke about the useof Teachers on Call. He has done

even received a phone call thank-ing him for making it so easy. Atthe moment, 60% of students withfree and reduced lunches havepurchased Chromebooks. The firstoverall figures from Best Buy aredue on August 1.

The board looked at proposedrental of the school and its facili-ties. Redmond and school staffwill continue to study this matterand work closely with the Com-munity Education Committee anduser groups to make improvementsin the rental processes of the dis-trict.Staff changes

Enough Food for All is focusof Church Day on the Farm

As part of the Enough Food for All project, members of Minneola Lutheran Church collected food at churchduring June. Hailey Schliep (left) and Jordan Schliep dropped off the bags of food at the Zumbrota Area FoodShelf in mid-June. The congregation hopes to collect additional donations of food and money on August 10when it sponsors Church on the Farm.

By Pastor Audree CatalanoGOODHUE After two suc-

cessful church community eventsin 2013, Les and Cheryl Kyllo areagain preparing their farmstead andbarn for Church Day on the Farmto be held Sunday, August 10. The

event will include worship, fel-lowship, and a meal, with the pri-mary focus of raising awarenessand donations for food insecurityin Southeast Minnesota. The event,sponsored by Minneola LutheranChurch, is part of a synod-wideeffort called Enough Food forAll. The Kyllos farm is locatedat 14414 County 50 Boulevard,Goodhue.

Food insecurity is prevalentthroughout the world, but foodinsecurity also exists in our ownbackyards - among our neighbors,and throughout our communities.This local need has led to anEnough Food for All effort withthe goal of ending food insecurityin southeastern Minnesota in thenext five years.

Many people of all faiths havebeen moved to become a part ofthe Enough Food for All project.As our churches have becomeaware of this growing need, an all

out effort is now in the works withmany churches and local commu-nity organizations partner-ing withEnough Food for All, workingwith food banks and the countypublic health offices on the project.Many individuals and groups arejumping on board to contributefood to local food pantries and toothers whom we are aware of need-ing food for their families, includ-ing the elderly and others in needof good nutrition. Policies andprograms are being advocated to

lessen the need for food pantries.Hoping to continue to build the

momentum and as a good way tojoin together with your neighborfor conversation and fellowship,plan to attend Church on the FarmAugust 10. The day will begin at

10 a.m. with a worship service ina unique atmosphere where all arewelcome to participate. A mealwill follow for a free-will dona-tion. Everyone is also asked tobring a donation of a canned fooditem or fresh produce. Games, in-cluding bean bags, will be avail-able to play after lunch. Pleasebring a folding chair for seating.
