ROCHESTER, MN -- After years of waiting, hikers, bikers and runners weren’t about to let a few barricades get in their way. They strode or rode on by for at least a few weeks, and now a nearly two mile section of Rochester’s new-est recreational trail is finally open. “People seem to be excited about getting to destinations on the city’s Northwest side without getting on a busy road,” said Charlie Quigg, chairman of Rochester’s Bicycle-
Pedestrian Advisory Committee. The new trail and a completed bridge will do just that and more. A final 450 foot section of the nearly half mile long bridge now crosses over 7th Street Northwest. It joins up with a longer span installed two years ago that already allows people to safely cross over U.S. Highway 14. After coming down the ramp on the bridge’s Northside, folks will find the new section of trail, which runs up the former Dakota, Min-
STEWARTVILLE, MN -- The Stewartville City Council reviewed a capital improvement program (CIP) workbook at a special workshop meeting Tuesday night, November 1. The informal session was a fol-low up on the updated and revised CIP workbook that Public Works Director Mark Stevens and City Engineer David Strauss of Yaggy Colby Associates completed in July. The council had been asked to review the workbook so that the workshop could focus on questions and suggestions for improvement. The council said that they liked the layout and format of the work-book. “We have got rid of a lot of the bad areas in the city with CIP projects,” Stevens said. “The work-book shows what we have left of our original CIP projects,” Strauss said. The council discussed the CIP program guidelines, assessments
and warranties. “If people really want to have their street improved, we should have them petition the council for the project,” Council member Judy Hanson said. “Would that make it more palatable?” “We cannot focus solely on CIP projects where we totally replace the street,” Council member Gary Stensrud said. “I think we should focus both on CIP projects and milling and overlay.” “What kind of projects do you want to do?” Strauss said. Finance Director Barb Neubauer said that we have several streets in Stewart-ville which are eligible for munici-pal state aid (MSA) funds. The Minnesota Constitution provides a mechanism for cities with a population greater than 5,000 to receive MSA funds for street improvement projects. The street projects must meet criteria set out in the statute. They are pro-jected to carry a relatively heavier traffic volume, connect the points of major traffic interest within an
ROCHESTER, MN -- This is the eleventh year that Finance and Commerce, a publication out of the Twin Cities, has hon-ored women with their Top Women in Finance awards. It is also the first year that a woman from the Mayo Clinic has received this honor. Susan Uhlenkamp of Roch-ester has worked at Mayo Clinic for sixteen years. She is currently the Chair of the Research and Finance divi-sion. “We get a lot of money from the federal government to conduct research,” explained Uhlenkamp. “I help them manage all those grants as well as money raised from bene-factors. There’s quite a lot of money put in by Mayo, too.” Uhlenkamp received her Bachelor’s Degree from the Uni-versity of North Dakota, and her Masters in Business Administra-tion from the University of Min-nesota. According to Uhlenkamp, Finance and Commerce picked 50 women this year in Minnesota.
“They send nomination forms to employers,” she said. “My boss nominated me and sent a letter of recommendation for why I would be deserving.” Her boss didn’t tell her she was being nominated, so finding out she had been chosen was a pleas-ant surprise. She noted that most women that have won in the past have been from the Twin Cities area. “It’s a really nice honor,” said Uhlenkamp. “It’s kind of hum-bling. When I read about the
other women who have honored in the past I feel they have accom-plished a lot. To be in that same category is humbling.” The award is meant to rec-ognize women who are making great contributions to their pro-
fessions and their communities. They take into account volunteer work and other ways they con-tribute to society. Uhlenkamp is on the board for Hiawatha Homes, and the chair of the development committee, some-thing she really enjoys. “I think that the advocacy Hiawatha Homes has always had for the community members they serve is keeping the needs of those folks really in the forefront of community action groups, leg-islature, etc. They have really demonstrated their commitment to transitioning over the years from the institutionalized model into a more mainstream commu-nity model.” Uhlenkamp said she gets a lot of energy from the enthusiastic and passionate people who vol-
unteer for Hiawatha Homes. The department Uhlenkamp works in is an important one, as finances play a vital role in all the Mayo Clinic does. According to Uhlenkamp, Mayo Clinic spends about $260 million in funds
every year on research, which is important in the advance-ment of medicine. She sets up accounts for researchers that receive federal grant money, and she makes sure the regu-lations for those grants are followed, and maintains all of the documentation. A recognition dinner is being held in Minneapolis for the honorees and their families on November 10. Uhlenkamp will be attending with her husband, Brian, and her two children, and she is looking forward to the event. These women represent the many women who have been successful in an area usually
dominated by men. Uhlenkamp finds it empower-ing to hear of other women in the area that are working hard and having success in these positions. “The editor in last year’s pub-lication talked about the glass ceiling, how it’s still difficult to shatter,” said Uhlenkamp. “But women are definitely making progress in terms of leadership positions in organizations.” Uhlenkamp is also looking forward to the annual alumni event for women who have been honored in the past, to be a part of it, and to meet other women who have been recognized for their hard work and dedication to their job and their commu-nity.

Lotus L. “Cooney” Conrad Lotus Lamar Conrad, 75, of Rochester, MN died at home Friday (Octo-ber 28, 2011) with his lov-ing family at his side, after a graceful six-year battle with lung cancer. Lotus was born May 21, 1936, in Nap-panee, Indiana to Russell and Inez Conrad. He lived there until mov-ing to a farm near Hepton, Indiana in 1937 where he attended first and second grade in a one-room country schoolhouse. In 1944, he moved with his family back to Nappanee until 1947 when his family moved to Hayfield, MN, where his parents
bought and operated the Mars The-ater. Lotus graduated from Hayfield High School, class of 1954. In January of 1955, Lotus joined the Air Force and served in Califor-nia, Colorado, and Germany. Fol-lowing his honorable discharge, he went to work at Owatonna Tool Company and later joined IBM in 1960, where he worked for 32 years. June 10, 1967, he married Jacque-line M. Hietpas at St. John’s Catho-lic Church in Little Chute, Wisc. They made their home in Kasson, Minn. for two years before moving to Rochester at their current resi-dence. Lotus and Jackie raised two children; Lotus was an incredible father and later doted on two very special grandsons. Upon retiring from IBM, he loved to travel in his motor home with his wife, children, and grandsons. Survivors include his wife Jac-queline, son Paul Conrad, daughter Carla (Eric) Anderson and cher-ished grandsons Logan and Con-
nor Anderson, all of Rochester; brothers Devon (Irene) Conrad of Whitewater, WI and Lyle Conrad of Rochester; sister-in-law Janet (Don) Schlude of Winter Haven, FL; God-children Lisa Ales of Greenville, WI and Susan Pitzer of Rochester; sev-eral aunts and uncles, and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by parents Russell and Inez Conrad, and in-laws Paul and Ethel Hietpas. The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thanks to Mayo Hospice for their extraordinary loving care. The funeral Mass for Lotus Con-rad was Monday, October 31, 2011, at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Rochester, with Father Paul Nelson officiating. Burial was in the Cha-pel of Peace in Grandview Memorial Gardens in Rochester with Military Honors. Macken Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements.
Sister Ralph Jahner Sister Ralph Jahner, 90, a Fran-ciscan Sister of the Congregation of Our Lady of Lourdes, Rochester, Minn., died at Assisi Heights on Saturday, October 29, 2011. Anna Jahner was born to Ralph and Eleanora (Heidt) Jahner in Sheffield, North Dakota on May 14, 1921. She grew up in Dickinson and New England, N.D. where she attended school. Before entering the community, she lived in Owatonna for a short while, and then moved to Rochester and worked at Saint Marys Hospital until 1938, when
Lotus L. “Cooney” Conrad
she entered the Sisters of St. Francis, where she received the name Sister Ralph. She made profession of vows in 1941. After her profession of vows, S. Ralph was missioned to the College of St. Teresa in Winona where she served in housekeeping and foodser-vice, becoming Food Service Super-visor in 1948. After participating in professional cake decorating classes in 1971, she began taking orders for birthday, wedding and a variety of other cakes, and was given a place at St. Teresa’s Lourdes Hall to open her “Cake Shoppe.” She also began teaching beginner, intermediate, wedding, and gum-paste decorating classes. From 1980 to 1987, along with cake decorating, she helped in food service at Tau Center. In
1987, she moved to Assisi Heights and again set up “Sister Ralph’s Cake Shoppe” until her retirement in 2005. Sister Ralph is survived by three sisters: Barbara Reisenauer, Mott, N.D; Eleanore Wright, Sturgis, SD; and Mary Alice Jahner, Lemmon, S.D. She is also survived by her Fran-ciscan Congregation with whom she shared life for seventy-three years. Her parents, five brothers; Peter I, Ray, Ralph, Mathew, and Peter II, and three sisters; Rose Marie, Helen Weilenmon, and Agnes Tishmack preceded her in death. A Funeral Liturgy was held on Wednesday, November 2 in the Assi-si Heights Spirituality Center, Assisi Heights, Rochester. Burial was at Calvary Cemetery, Rochester.

street projects) to give the taxpay-ers of the city some relief?” Han-son said. “I think we need to take the responsibility for identifying proj-ects that need to happen,” said Council member Lori Miller-Beach. “We need to decide what makes sense, what it costs and then
go to the people in a public hear-ing.” The council also discussed the warranty on CIP projects. Stew-artville has a two-year warranty on CIP projects. “It is common practice for other cities to provide a warranty of a one-year mainte-nance period,” Strauss said. “In a
normal market, (a two-year war-ranty) will add to the price.” “If there is a problem with a side-walk, for instance, a citizen wants to have it fixed right away,” City Administrator Bill Schimmel said. “The contractor will wait until the entire warranty period (two years) is complete.”
The council directed Stevens and Strauss to put together three priority lists for city street projects: one for CIP projects, one for mill-ing and overlay projects and one for seal-coating projects. Strauss said that he will have information available on the CIP project list for the council at their next meeting.

ROCHESTER, MINN— On Tuesday, November 1, Food & Water Watch and allies in the Rochester area met with the staff of Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) at her Rochester office and urged her to stand up for family farmers and consum-ers by making livestock markets fairer for small- and mid-sized farms. Food & Water Watch representative Alexandra Beau-tyman was joined by Michael Wojcik, City Councilman and Good Food Store Coop board member; Doug Sparks, Rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church; and Sisters Iria Miller and Joy Barth, representatives of Franciscans International at Assisi Heights.
The meeting was focused on a set of rules called the Fair Farm Rules, or GIPSA Rules, that would level playing field for small and mid-sized livestock farmers nation-wide. The rules are currently under debate in Congress and would have a large impact on Minnesota. “Southeastern Minnesota needs a system of rules that are fair to our family farms,” said Wojcik. “Our current system exposes small family farms to exploitation from abusive corpo-rate mega-farms. This is a threat to the sustainability of the local food production system in our region.” Senator Klobuchar has at times
been an ally to small family farms in the past, but on this issue she has been entirely absent. Over the last two months, Food & Water Watch organizers and volunteers in Rochester have gathered more than 600 petitions urging the Senator to stand up for Min-nesota’s small farmers and con-sumers by publicly supporting the GIPSA rules. These petitions were delivered to Senator Klobu-char’s staff at the meeting. “We are disappointed that Sen-ator Klobuchar has yet to take a strong, supportive stance for the GIPSA rules,” said Beautyman. “We will continue to demon-strate local support so that she gets the message that her con-
stituents want her to take a stand on this issue.” Nationally, nearly 27,000 mid-sized independent family farms have been driven out of business over the past five years, and the ones who have survived are being squeezed by a market that favors big agribusinesses. As small and mid-sized farms are pushed out of business, consumers are left with fewer healthy, sustainable choices and more antibiotic- and artificial hormone-ridden meat and poultry. “This is a moral issue,” said Barth. “The current system is unjust and oppressive, and the GIPSA rule is a model for the kind of antitrust laws which are
needed in all sectors as we look forward to 2012.” The 2008 Farm Bill included reforms to protect small and mid-sized farms that raise cattle, pigs, and chickens. The GIPSA Rules prevent meatpackers from giving “undue preference” to large pro-ducers, like factory farms, that put small, independent producers at an economic disadvantage. Organizations working with Food & Water Watch in Minne-sota include the Institute for Agri-culture and Trade Policy, Land Stewardship Project, League of Rural Voters, Sustainable Farm-ing Association, and Minnesota Food Association.
Rochester leaders call on Klobuchar to support Minnesota’s small farmers

By taking part in this program, pages learn the legislative pro-cess and assist members in the House Chamber during session, and also develop leadership skills by observing how committees are conducted and how issues are resolved. Those selected will participate in a wide variety of legislative activities, including individual meetings with state representa-tives allowing students to discuss the issues that matter most to them; assisting members during a legislative floor session; and giving students the opportunity to meet with constitutional offi-cers, members of the judiciary, lobbyists, and members of the media. Applications for the 2012 High School Page Program have now been mailed to all area public and private schools, but if you’d like to download one online, visit the following House web-site: www.house.leg.state.mn.us/edprog/app.pdf. If you have any questions about the program, call the Minnesota House’s Sergeant’s Office, at 651-296-7452. The applications must be post-marked no later than December 16 to ensure its arrival on time for
the participants’ selection pro-cess. Before returning the appli-cation, it must include a par-ent’s or guardian’s signature and approval from a school counselor,
civics teacher, or principal. Cho-sen applicants will be notified in mid-January.

We know that sometimes life deals us a bum rap, situations can occur that we have little or no control over
financially. In today’s ever-changing economic cycle, job challenges arise that may have caused financial hardships or unexpected medical emergencies may have dealt an unfair blow. As much as we try, sometimes it is very difficult to rebound from unexpected or out-of-control finances without help or understanding from some outside source. We want that opportunity to help. Re-establishing credit can be as important as buying a car. We have lenders working right now to finalize loans. Let’s see how this program works: From the start, our customers are under no obligation to enter this program, they can say no at any time. This program is designed to re-establish their credit in as short a period of time as possible. Other dealerships offer “Buy Here - Pay Here” operations. Generally, you buy a vehicle they want to get rid of, and no credit is established since they do not report to the credit bureau (unless payments are not made) and there are no warranties or guarantees. If credit is established, it’s only with
them so people are trapped inside their spiral of driving less than desirable vehicles and never improving their credit situation, which is the primary mission in this venture. At Zumbrota Ford, we offer all of our customers the opportunity to drive the vehicle that is right for them. We only use lenders that help re-establish your credit on 1998 and newer models, that meet the conditioning and mileage criteria of the lenders. Many of these vehicles have remaining factory warranties and are eligible for an extended
service contract. After paying on this vehicle, credit will be re-established, provided payments have been maintained current on it and all your other credit obligations. Do you have: 1. A full-time job?
2. $1,300 gross monthly income? 3. Stable residence? 4. Down payment or trade? 5. Past credit problems with a drive to re-establsh credit? If so, we would like the opportunity to help you. Call 1-800-757-3080, ask for Brent or Greg for a completely confidential interview and drive home in your next automobile or truck form Zumbrota Ford tomorrow.

A total of $20,930 was donated to local charities, organizations and individuals in need.

About 11,968 members currently participate with the aver-age of $6.00 a year per member. It truly shows that small change can make a difference. The applications for funding are considered on a quarterly basis. The funds are held separately from the PCS operating accounts and are administered through the Board of Trustees comprised of seven (7) PCS member volunteers. To be considered for the next round of disbursements, appli-cations must be made no later than December 20, 2011.

Submitted by Jason Marquardt, quoted from the website, http://www.military.com/veterans-day/history-of-veterans-day.htm Veterans Day gives Americans
the opportunity to celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of all U.S. veterans. However, most Americans confuse this holiday with Memorial Day, reports the Department of Veterans A!airs.What’s more, some Americans don’t know why we commem-
Veteran’s Day orate our Veterans on Nov.11. It’s imperative that all Americans know the history of Veterans Day so that we can honor our past and present service members prop-erly.A Brief History of Veterans Day Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which o"cially took place on November 11, 1918. In legisla-tion that was passed in 1938, November 11 was “dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as ‘Armistice Day.’” As such, this new legal holiday hon-ored World War I veterans. In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress -- at the urging of the veterans service organizations -- amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting the word “Veter-ans.” With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor Ameri-can veterans of all wars. In 1968, the Uniforms Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrat-ing four national holidays on Mondays: Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Under this bill, Veterans Day was moved to the last Monday of October. Many states did not agree with this deci-sion and continued to celebrate the holiday on its original date. #e first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on Oct. 25, 1971. Finally on September 20, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed a law which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of Nov. 11, begin-ning in 1978. Since then, the Veterans Day holiday has been observed on Nov. 11.
“!ey did their share”On Veteran’s Day we honor Sol-
diers who protect our nation.For their service as our warriors,
#ey deserve our admiration.
Some of them were drafted;Some were volunteers;
For some it was just yesterday;For some it’s been many years;
In the jungle or the desert,On land or on the sea,
#ey did whatever was assignedTo produce a victory.
Some came back; some didn’t.#ey defended us everywhere.
Some saw combat; some rode a desk;
All of them did their share.No matter what the duty,
For low pay and little glory,#ese soldiers gave up normal
lives,For duties mundane and gory.Let every veteran be honored;
Don’t let politics get in the way.Without them, freedom would
have died;What they did, we can’t repay.
We owe so much to them,Who kept us safe from terror,
So when we see a uniform,Let’s say “thank you” to every
wearer.By Joanna Fuchs

TRAILContinued from Page 1
nesota and Eastern Railroad spur line. The trail runs right along the Westside of Valleyhigh Drive and joins up with the Douglas State Trail, trailhead parking area. It effectively adds another five miles to the more than 12 mile trail and links Pine Island with down-town Rochester. “We’ve really had a shortage of
ways to connect the Northwest part of Rochester to downtown with a bike,” said Project Manager, John Wellner of Rochester Public Works. “It’s good that we get people up where they don’t have any worries with trains and traffic.” Now people can go from down-town Rochester to Cascade Lake, cross the bridge and then easily access Northwest neighborhoods and businesses. Of course it helps commuters
going the other way as well. “A lot of people are already thinking this through, it affords them an oppor-tunity to be on a separate trail,” said Quigg. He envisions that bike rid-ers will want to use the route to get to destinations like the Rochester Athletic Club, IBM or even the new Lourdes High School, which is cur-rently under construction right next to the trail. As far as Wellner knows, the new section of trail is not on the city’s snow removal list, but it will be open all year. The new $1.2 million section of trail and bridge is only phase 2 for Wellner, he is already working on the 3rd and final phase, a bridge across Valleyhigh Drive. Its design will be similar to the newly completed span and feature a 10-foot wide deck constructed of a mixture of concrete and steel. Wellner said the proposed bridge will cross Valleyhigh at Technology Drive, it will be about 800 to 1,000 feet in length, and extend onto the Pace Dairy Foods Company prop-erty. He said negotiations are under-way with Pace and IBM for the
property needed to not only create the bridge, but to extend the trail to the nearby Douglas State Trail trailhead. Construction could begin in the fall of 2012 and the span could open in the later months of the fol-lowing year. The newest section of trail ties in nicely with Quigg’s day job, which as a Community Health Prevention Specialist for the Olmsted County Health Department is to promote activities like walking and biking. “It allows people to integrate physical activity into their daily
lives and provides a way to do it safely,” said Quigg. This year Minnesota recently retained its spot on the League of American Bicyclists list as the fourth most bicycle friendly state in the nation. Wellner said he recently attended Minnesota’s annual Bicycle Tourism summit in Mankato and received positive feedback about Rochester’s trail project. “I know a lot of people have been looking forward to this connection, I sure hope that they don’t wait for the 3rd phase to get out and use it.”

places for spectators to set up
their own seats. It’s right on the
highway, and seemed a good
central location. !e idea for
Canton Speedway was taking
shape. According to Mike Kelly, it
has been a joint e"ort to turn
this idea into a reality. He has
been working together with
Tony Severson, Ben Gravos,
Brian Gjere, and others, all of
them putting money, time, and
energy into the project.
Right now their kids race
in Cresco every other Sun-
day. !ey plan to have Canton
Speedway run on the opposite
Sundays through the summer.
!e plan is to have races be
an afternoon family event for
everyone. “!e kids can start racing at
age five,” said Kelly. “And there
are people in their mid-60s still
racing.” Go Karts come in di"erent
shapes and sizes, as well as dif-
ferent price ranges. “You can
spend as much as you want,”
said Gravos.
According to Kelly, a basic
Go Kart can be found for
under $1,000, and it goes up
from there, depending on how
fancy you want it. And they
are not slow, either. Kelly’s son
Jared said they can go anywhere
from 20-60 miles per hour.
Go Kart racing is not just for
boys. Kelly said there are many
girls who race, and the oldest
person they know racing Go
Karts is a woman in her early
60’s. A lot of work has gone into
the project already, and they
still have a lot of work to do.

For the second time in two
years, the Rushford Area Cham-
ber of Commerce has hosted an
informal town-hall style Meet the
Candidates forum. The Sunday
night event, October 23, held at
the R-P High School Theater, saw
nearly 60 in attendance to hear
the details of six candidates ‘bids
for council or mayoral seats. The
Journal’s own Editor-in-Chief,
Jason Sethre, served as moderator
for the event for a second time.
Two candidates will vie for
the position of Rushford’s mayor.
Chris Hallum, currently in his
first term as mayor, will face
off against former councilor Jim
Wolter. Four others are seek-
ing two four-year council terms,
including incumbent Robert
Dahl, who is running for a sec-
ond term. Also seeking the posi-
tion are Roger Colbenson, who
sought council seat last election,
coming in third, former mayor
Les Ladewig, who seeks re-elec-
tion after being ousted by vot-
ers in 2009, and Valencia Gad-
dis, who is seeking her first-ever
council seat. The top two of these
four will be elected.
The night’s agenda was thor-
oughly scripted by the chamber
and included an introduction and
conclusion by each candidate and
four questions for the candidates,
drawn from four categories, with
one question per category. New
this year, the candidates also
fielded two open questions from
the audience. All questions, both
written and open, were allowed
only from property tax payers
of the city and had a limited
response time from candidates.
The four selected categories
were: City’s Fiscal Budget, Eco-
nomic Development, Commu-
nity Quality of Life Issues, and

!e county board approved the
purchase of new survey equipment
for the Highway Department at the
state contract price, $72,022.64, at
the board’s October 25 meeting.
Lead Accounting Technician
Pam Schroeder, Highway, detailed
the reasons to go with Trimble
Equipment through Frontier Preci-
sion at the state contract price. It
is the vendor and equipment the
department has worked with in
the past, so more training shouldn’t
be required, and it will be compat-
ible with current software. As this
equipment is used by 80 percent
of Minnesota counties and the Fill-
more County Survey o#ce, infor-
mation will be interchangeable.
Trimble equipment will provide
an extended range for hard to reach
or unsafe targets, which makes it
work better in the county’s blu"
areas. Batteries are interchangeable

With the rising cost of fuel, as well as a vision for downtown Rochester containing a more limited number of parking spac-es for a growing number of jobs, alternative modes of transporta-tion are being explored to bring the city into the future. In April of this year, the Mid-
west High Speed Rail Alliance, a Chicago-based rail advocacy group, adjusted their vision for a proposed high speed rail line from Chicago to the Twin Cities to go through Rochester instead of along the Mississippi River as previously planned. “Our goal is to make centers of
excellence in the Midwest acces-sible to the regional, national, and international community,” said Rick Harnish, the associa-tion’s executive director. “Roch-
ester, with its first-rate medical community, is certainly one of the centers.” In the next two to three
years, the Olmsted County Rail Authority will look to begin forming a service development plan, containing the fourth fea-sibility study in the last 10 years to determine how successful a high speed rail line between Rochester and the Twin Cit-ies would be. The plan would begin with an environmental study during its first six to eight months to do a cost analysis in order to find the most advanta-geous placement of the passenger line, which would not share the corridor with freight rail. One of the reasons that the route along the Mississippi River was given up was due to a simple environ-mental observation that the hills and varying soil densities of this landscape could not support a
high-speed rail line. The rail line would be Min-nesota’s first high-speed connec-tion, traveling at speeds between
150 and 220 miles per hour. This would cut a commute between Rochester and the Twin Cities down to between 20 or 30 min-
utes. “This is a transformative proj-ect,” said Chuck Michael, project manager at ZipRail, the brand for the proposed high speed rail project. “It will change the way people look at where they live and where they work.” Rochester is very unique in
its economic and transportation
patterns. There are thousands more jobs in Rochester than there are men, women, and chil-dren. Approximately 40,000 people commute to Rochester each business day. These com-muters, along with a conserva-tive estimate of 12,000 patients a day at the Mayo Clinic, make thoughtful planning of trans-portation and infrastructure a necessity. The Mayo Clinic currently
runs 42 buses per day to trans-port employees to and from the
Twin Cities and communities surrounding Rochester. With the Clinic expecting to continue to grow, employ more people, and renew the fabric of down-town Rochester along with the arrival of the University of Min-nesota, finding a place to park all of the employees, patients, and students will be unlikely and not cost-effective. The Downtown
Master Plan, adopted by the city of Rochester in the last year, calls for even less available park-ing downtown than is presently there. “The incentive is two-fold,” said Olmsted County Commis-sioner Ken Brown. “First, we want to get people to Rochester. Second, we don’t want the cars because we can’t park them.” It is a common view that it is best to live near your place of employment. Commuters are feeling the pinch of the cost of gasoline, which has often approached $4 a gallon in recent years. When looking for a place to plan conferences, or receive medical care, one consideration
Rochester’s silver bullet?

By Bill Lisser The Eyota City Council called a special meeting for Thurs-day, November 3, to review the new district sewer contract with their attorney Fred Suhler, Jr. The current contract has been in place for 30 years and will expire December 31, 2011. “I want to make sure we have an agreement that is understood in layman’s terms,” said Mayor
Wes Bussell. The sewer district is defined as the combined Cities of Dover, Eyota, and St. Charles. It is a separate entity from the cities. The District went to the City of St. Charles and asked them to review the existing contract. “Essentially the district came to us to have the contract reviewed. The current contract has been in place for 30 years.”
Eyota reviews sewer contract said Nick Koverman, City Administrator for the City of St. Charles. “We sent it to our attorneys and they came back with suggestions to improve on the existing contract.” The City of St. Charles attor-neys are from the Law Offices of Flaherty and Hood with offices in St. Paul and Winona. One of the questions that arose was the length of the con-tract. The revised contract is for 30 years, with a clause written
into it that would allow a city to opt out of the agreement sooner under specific conditions. The allocation of costs to operate the sewer plant has stayed very consistent for 30 years. Originally the allocation was 64 percent to St. Charles, 28 percent to Eyota and Dover was responsible for 8 percent.The 2010 actual allocation was 62.97 percent to St. Charles, Eyota was 30.88 percent and Dover was 6.15 percent. The
only variance from these allo-cations was when North Star Foods was operating. They were allocated an amount similar to the City of St. Charles for that period.
