The Minnesota Department of
Transportation, in cooperation with
the Federal Railroad Administra-
tion and the Olmsted County Re-
gional Railroad Authority, is pre-
paring a Tier I Environmental
Impact Statement to evaluate po-
tential passenger rail alternatives
for the Rochester Twin Cities
Passenger Rail Corridor Invest-
ment Plan (Zip Rail) in compli-
ance with the National Environ-
mental Policy Act of 1969.
Public information meetings are
scheduled from 5-7 p.m. July 29
in Rochester (Rochester Commu-
nity and Technical College, Heintz
Center Commons Area, 1926 Col-
lege View Road East); July 30 in
Inver Grove Heights (Inver Grove
Community Center, Community
Room 2, 8055 Barbara Ave); and
July 31 in Kenyon (Kenyon-
Wanamingo High School, com-
mons area and auditorium, 400
6th Street). A brief presentation is
scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at each
meeting.
As part of the Tier I EIS, an
Environmental Scoping Booklet
and Draft Scoping Decision Docu-
ment are available for public re-
view and comment. The documents
describe the purpose and need for
high-speed passenger rail service
between Rochester and the Twin
Cities, and information on alter-
natives that will be carried into
the Tier 1 EIS.
The study area includes an ap-
proximately 100-mile corridor
between Rochester and the Twin
Cities being examined for poten-
tial high-speed rail service. The
study area includes Dakota, Dodge,
Goodhue, Hennepin, Olmsted,
Ramsey and Rice counties and
various end points in the Twin
Cities and Rochester area. Pres-
ently, there is not a continuous
existing railroad connection be-
tween the Twin Cities and Roch-
ester, so many of the potential
corridors would create new trans-
portation routes.
The environmental documents
are available for public review on
the project website, www.goziprail.
org, or by hard copy at govern-
ment offices and libraries through-
out the corridor. Locations where
the documents may be viewed are
provided 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 August
6, 2014, and may be submitted at
one of the public meetings, via
email, voicemail, or U.S. mail.

Power outage
on July 25
By Marilyn Anderson
A 90-minute electrical outage
affected the cities of Zumbrota and
Wanamingo and Xcel Energy cus-
tomers between the two towns
Friday 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, Xcel
Energy district representative based
in Zumbrota, a periodic inspec-
tion with an infrared camera on
July 23 revealed that a secondary
bushing on the main transformer
was failing. The temperature read-
ing had increased even more when
rechecked Friday morning. It was
heating up. We were fortunate to
have caught it when we did, Meyer
said. The proactive replacement
of equipment was done to prevent
a future lengthy outage.
A three-person crew from the
Twin Cities and three local line-
men completed the repair.
The outage was shorter than the
time that Xcel customers were told
to expect. Notifications were sent
prior to the outage by automated
phone messages to anticipate an
outage of 3-4 hours. Critical con-
tacts, such as city services, care
facilities, and businesses, were
made individually. Additional
news of the outage and its impact
were soon forwarded and com-
municated via email, websites, and
social media.

Schoolhouse programs
Doug Ohman of Pioneer Pho-
tography will be presenting three
different programs at the school-
house. Ohman will share stories
and historical information about
some of Minnesotas most trea-
sured buildings and sites.
On Thursday, August 7 at 3 p.m,
Ohman will present Heart of the
Farm Barns of Minnesota. He
will take you on a rural journey
around Minnesota exploring the
significance of the greatest of all
rural icons, the barn. His story is
told through photographs and his-
tories that will bring you back to
the farm and explain the impor-
tance of our rural roots.
On Friday, August 8, at 3 p.m.,
the presentation will be School
House Memories. Travel into the
past as Ohman brings you back to
a time when all eight grades were
in one classroom. Ohman has many
stories and photographs that will
make you smile and laugh, but
most of all remember a more gentle
and simple era of education.
At 4:30 p.m. on Friday, August
8, is Saluting the Civil War.
Ohman has made a project of find-
ing the graves and remem-bering
those from Minnesota who served
in this tragic but interesting chap-
ter in American history. From the
historic Lakewood Cemetary to
the forgotten back roads grave-
yards, Ohman has photo-graphed
and researched hundreds of grave
markers to ensure we never forget
the sacrifices of these brave Ameri-
cans. He will also share photo-
graphs of most of the Civil War
monuments still found in the state.
As a special addition, he will take
you to several of the national battle-
fields where the boys from Min-
nesota courageously served.
Play Bingo every day
People of all ages can have fun
playing Bingo at the Goodhue
County Fair. The Bingo Tent opens
Tuesday, August 5, at 4 p.m. un-
der the tall white tent next to the
4-H Building. Every day thereaf-
ter, Bingo starts at 2 p.m. and closes
at 10 p.m. On Sunday it is open
from 1-5 p.m.
Bingo is sponsored by the
Dawnbreakers Kiwanis Club of
Red Wing and facilitated by the
Goodhue County Green Travel-
ers 4-H Club to raise funding for
their exchange opportunities with
4-Hers from other states. Two
weeks ago, ten 4-Hers from Mas-
sachusetts reunited with Goodhue
County 4-Hers and spent a week
here enjoying southeastern Min-
nesota. Last summer, local 4-Hers
stayed with the same host fami-
lies and experienced Massachu-
setts, Rhode Island, and Connecti-
cut. Plans for next years travel
will begin this fall.
Bingo cards are 25 cents each
or five for a dollar. Half the pot of
each game is paid back to the win-
ning player(s) and the other half
goes into the Clubs account. In
addition, this group of 4-Hers and
their parents also operate the Pepsi
wagon located by the grandstand.
There, patrons can purchase hot
dogs, brats, candy, and pop. Ask
about the special deal when you
visit.

4-H Shoe Drive
Goodhue County 4-H is host-
ing a shoe collection drive at the
fair to raise funds for 4-H pro-
grams and youth opportunities, as
well as microenterprise ventures
in developing nations.
The goal is to collect 7,500 pairs
of shoes. The only way to do that
is if community members step up
and help. 4-H members are call-
ing on everyone to get going on
their back-to-school closet clean-
ing and pack up their unwanted,
gently worn, used shoes and do-
nate them.
Pairs of shoes of all types
mens, womens, childrens, heels,
tennis, flip-flops, cleats can be
dropped off at the 4-H Building
on the fairgrounds during the week
of the fair. The 4-H Building is
open every day during the fair from
Jeff Nolte
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA Zumbrota-
Mazeppa School Superintendent
Tony Simons has confirmed that
Jeff Nolte has been hired as the
new high school principal. Nolte
was the principal at Mabel-Can-
ton K-12 Schools for the past
seven years. He replaces Erick
Enger who accepted a position
as superintendent at Lake City
Public Schools. Nolte currently
lives in Mabel but plans to move
to Zumbrota.
His education, experience,
and implementation of programs
we already use here at ZM played
a role in why he was chosen,
Simons said of their new prin-
cipal choice. The implemen-
tation of one-to-one mobile in
his previous school is one ZM
hopes to use soon, and we feel
he would be a great leader in
helping us achieve that.
Nolte is originally from Spring
Valley and is a graduate of the
University of Minnesota Twin
Cities. He is an avid fisherman,
hunter, and outdoorsman. He has
three children Hannah, 17;
Isaiah, 14; and Elijah, 10 and
has been working in education
since 1993.
I love kids and enjoy having
a positive impact on others,
Nolte said of why he decided to
get into education. I chose ZM
for the obvious reason that they
had an opening, but more im-
portantly because they have a
reputation of good academics,
and I want to continue that tra-
dition while offering the best
experience to both staff and stu-
dents.
With twenty-one years of ex-
perience in education under his
belt, seven of those in adminis-
tration roles, Nolte looks for-
ward to the coming school year.
He said, I feel that our job as
educators is not just to teach
math, science, and writing but
to help students grow into re-
sponsible adults who make good
decisions and the schools ROAR
(Respect Optimism Acceptance
Responsibility) program does
that. I hope the students not only
implement that here at school
but that it sticks with them when
they go out into the world.

When will we learn? part four
Lets return to the initial issue
the Washington Redskins. We have
to take a hard look at the name
Redskins. One of the rules of
warfare is to depersonalize the
enemy and make them seem to be
less than human. The command-
ment Thou shalt not kill only
applies to humans, supposedly.
Terms and phrases used this way
became derogatory. For the Ameri-
can Indian, the general term was
Redskin for a variety of rea-
sons. The purpose was the same,
to make the Native American seem
less than human.
Trying to turn a negative term
into a positive one is both tricky
and difficult. For the Washington
Redskins, the process was work-
ing until some group set them back.
Different organizations reacted
differently to the complaint of using
references to Native Americans.
For instance, the University of
North Dakota teams used the
Fighting Sioux and have not
picked a new name or mascot yet.
When is someone or some or-
ganization going to point out that
the term Viking is a negative
term meaning rape, plunder, pil-
lage. Is this how we envision the
football team? Is there any term
that cannot take on positive and
negative meanings depending on
your point of view? Washington
could become the Washington
Apples or Delicious Apples and
the mascot could be a red apple or
a green worm.
Whatever the team owner de-
cides to do, one thing is clear. The
President of these United States
ought to keep his mouth shut and
make sure that the rest of the gov-
ernment also backs off and remains
quiet. The president has more im-
portant issues to handle than what
the mascot of a football team ought
to be.
What should we do about and
with the South American children
seeking political asylum in the
USA? Do we send them back
home? Do we take them in along
with 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 on
the Statue of Liberty? Or should
we recognize them as endangered
and grant them an entrance into
our land? We need to decide now
and not in November as an elec-
tion issue. If we wait and the issue
gets an answer, Congress may
never decide whether to create laws
for the answer. The president needs
to leads us to a resolution. To say
that is his job is an understate-
ment! Until next week.
To the Editor:
As the parents of Scott Honour,
who is running for governor of
Minnesota, we have been ex-
tremely lucky to be able to travel
the state talking about his plan to
better our great state for years to
come.
Visiting Pine Island last week
was an absolute pleasure. This city
has so much charm and such a
wonderful Minnesota feel, and the
residents were more than welcom-
ing. We chatted with a variety of
folks introducing them to our son
and hearing what they are looking
for in their next governor. We once
again heard that Minnesotans want
a change from the politics as usual
sort of candidate and would rather
have a candidate with a history of
To the Editor:
All area property owners need
to attend the Zip Rail meeting
Thursday, July 31, 5-7 p.m., at
Kenyon-Wanamingo High School.
This may be your only opportu-
nity to express your feelings and
concerns about this project. The
name is misleading. This zip rail
is not a harmless recreational
device strung between trees. The
zip rail proposal is to build a bul-
let train though the heart of
Goodhue County.
As planned, zip rail could ap-
propriate more than 1,000 acres
of privately owned county land.
So much land is needed because a
bullet train will require fencing
off an exclusion zone, a no-mans
land 200 hundred to 400 feet across.
While bringing the people of the
Twin Cities and Rochester closer
together, this train will divide the
farms,and the townships of
Goodhue County. We will become
more isolated and possibly sepa-
rated from our current fire, ambu-
lance and law enforcement ser-
vices by this exclusion zone.
County and township snowplows
will have to go around, resulting
in delays and increased expenses.
All of this is being done to cut
forty minutes off the travel from
Rochester to the Twin Cities. No
one in between will benefit. It
would make so much more sense
to spend the money to improve
Highway 52, shortening drive times
for all commuters. But, just maybe,
doing the road improvements first
might prove how unnecessary this
pet project is?

ZUMBROTA After ten
months, the major new construc-
tion and renovation project at Zum-
brota Care Center is in its final
stages of work. Occupancy of some
of the newly constructed areas is
expected to begin by mid-August.
Some remodeled areas in the ex-
isting nursing home area are al-
ready being utilized. Construction
at the facility, located at the cor-
ner of West 4th Street and Mill
Street, began after groundbreaking
ceremonies were held September
11, 2013.
While the building appears com-
plete on the outside, finishing work
remains inside. Scott Jackson,
administrator and project director
for Zumbrota Health Services
(ZHS), said the construction has
remained mostly on schedule with
variations due to weather. While
the footings were in place ahead
of schedule, the wet weather im-
pacted planned work later. How-
ever, crews adapted the schedule
and worked on other aspects so it
all worked out well, Jackson said.
The project expands the current
nursing home facility on two lev-
els to the east of the already exist-
ing building. In addition to the
care center providing full service
skilled nursing care and compre-
hensive rehabilitation services,
ZHS also includes an attached
assisted living entity called The
Bridges of Zumbrota. ZHS is a
faith based, non-profit subsidiary
wholly owned by St. Francis Health
Services of Morris, Minnesota.
Completion expected November 1
A few areas are finished and
being used. Though other areas
will be done within the next few
weeks, Jackson predicts it may be
the end of October or the first of
November before the project is
100% completed.
Part of the renovated area of the
care center now houses a new
beauty shop that is already in use.
Next door is a new bathing suite
with a large walk-in shower and a
walk-in tub. Heat panels in the
ceiling and attractive wall and floor
tiles add to the home-like feel of
the area.
Soon to be completed is the new
spacious kitchen area on the lower
level. The kitchen should be ready
for inspection within the next few
weeks. With large work areas, all
stainless steel appliances, pantry
and storage, the state-of-the-art
kitchen will adequately serve the
residents of Zumbrota Care Cen-
ter and The Bridges, as well as
have capacity for expansion if
needed in the future. After the new
care center rooms open, the facil-
ity will have capacity for 50 resi-
dents. The Bridges has 22 resi-
dents.
Once the new kitchen space is
ready and approved, the old kitchen
will be vacated and remodeled into
a new dining area. Also in the lower
level are new physical therapy and
occupational therapy areas. They
are also nearing completion.
The upper level contains the new
resident rooms. The sixteen pri-
vate or split double rooms are situ-
ated around a large indoor atrium
park. The rooms each have a house
front faade that are currently
being worked on. The insides of
the rooms are complete with the
exception of drapery and ward-
robes.
The atrium will have a running
river and a pond with trees to make
for an outdoor park-like setting.
The high ceiling is painted blue
with scattered clouds.
ECFE space
One-third of the space on the
lower level, along the side facing
4th Street, is what Jackson refers
to as the school space. Zum-
brota-Mazeppa Schools will be
using 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- to
four-year-old program.
On July 24, Zumbrota-Mazeppa
School Superintendent Tony
Simons toured the area with Jack-
son. While Simons was expecting
the area to be available for occu-
pancy October 1, he learned it may
be ready earlier.
Describing the new building and
area as exactly what we wanted,
Simons noted how good it had
been to be involved from the get-
go with the planning. In doing
so, they were able to work through
all the details together in planning
such things as installations of se-
A large shower is part of the new bathing suite already in use as part of
the renovation at the Zumbrota Care Center. A walk-in tub is also
available in the suite. A new hair salon is next door. Completion of the
new construction and remodeling project is expected by November 1.
From the outside, the new addition of the Zumbrota Care Center appears complete, though approximately
three months of work inside remains. The new resident rooms and a large atrium occupy the upper level. The
lower level houses a new therapy department, and a new kitchen, pantry and storage areas. On the south
side, facing 4th Street (left side of picture) are four classrooms, offices and conference room that the
Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District will use for pre-school programs. Access will be via the door under the
canopy. The adjacent Bridges of Zumbrota (assisted living) facility can be seen to the right.
Marilyn Goff wins grand champion
ribbon at Dodge County Fair
Marilyn Goff displays her handmade Christmas tree skirt at Better Brew Coffee House in Pine Island on July
22. Her entry won a grand champion ribbon at the Dodge County Fair on July 15.
By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND Lifelong Pine
Island resident Marilyn (Andrist)
Goff won a grand champion purple
ribbon on July 15 at the Dodge
County Fair for her Christmas tree
skirt entry. Goff, who has entered
over 40 crocheting crafts at local
fairs in the over 65 category for
the past 20 years, was more than
surprised when she won her first
grand champion ribbon. She said,
I entered it on a whim just for fun
and when I won the grand prize I
was beyond surprised. I was
shocked.
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 to
do as a hobby. I have made this
same pattern tree skirt before and
gave it as a gift, but I never en-
tered it in the fair. Its such a simple
pattern and I never thought it would
be a grand champion, but the judges
liked that you cant tell the front
from the back, she said. Over the
years, Goff has generously donated
her time and talents to crochet for
family and others. She has made
baby caps for newborns, prayer
shawls for women with breast can-
cer, dish scrubbies for church ba-
zaars, afghans, quilts, scarves,
socks and more.
Marilyn and Al Goff have been
married for 45 years and have raised
five children. And they now have
five grandsons. The Goffs still live
on the original Andrist family farm
located just west of Pine Island.
Marilyn, who graduated from Pine
Island School in 1949, recently
celebrated a class reunion with nine
other classmates on June 22.
Zumbrota Care Center expansion nearly complete
curity cameras and locks.
Simons said that since the early
childhood programs have been
running out of space, this will help
meet the needs of the district. We
want to provide good service and
keep the cost down. We want to
keep our young families in our
school district, he said.
After completion
Once the building project is
complete, the lot across 4th Street
will be leveled off. Part of it will
be used for parking spaces and the
remainder will be green space.
There are no other plans at this
time. Discussions are ongoing at
the 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 fundraiser
Final planning is underway for
the first annual Golden Harvest
Fine Dining Fundraiser. It will be
held Thursday evening, October
23, from 6-8:30 p.m. in the Mill
River Addition of Zumbrota Health
Services. Money raised will be
used toward resident activities and
additional equipment. Examples
of equipment include heated towel
warmers for the new bathing suite,
additional mechanical lifts and high
quality outdoor furniture. Addi-
tional money in the activities fund
would go toward bringing in mu-
sicians and field trips for the resi-
dents. Watch for additional infor-
mation regarding ticket sales and
sponsorship levels closer to the
event.

Changes at
52 Truck Center
Brian Haugen
ZUMBROTA With the de-
sire to have a convenient office to
meet clients face-to-face, Zum-
brota native and businessman Brian
Haugen opened an office in the 52
Truck Center in Zumbrotas south-
west business park, near the inter-
change of County Road 10 and
Highway 52.
Haugen is a licensed agent for
Edina Realty whose brokerage
office is in Northfield. He works
with landowners and investors in
leasing and managing their farm-
land real estate. Past business ven-
tures have given him experience
in buying, selling, leasing, and man-
aging commercial real estate.
Other changes
52 Truck Center is now offer-
ing truck and trailer service and
repair of trucks, in addition to the
full service truck wash. Partners
in that business are Haugen and
Mike Klepperich. Klepperich has
worked with Haugen for five years
as an employee of Lena Farms,
where Haugen is senior partner
and owner.
Extensive remodeling inside the
east side of the building has been
completed to provide a comfort-
able and modern reception and
office manager area, individual
office space, and a small confer-
ence room.
Goals
Haugen said that even with the
technology of email and the
internet, people dont want to sell
and buy land over email. We can
bring maps, photos, and informa-
tion up on the screen (pointing to
the monitor in the conference
room). We want to answer ques-
tions: What is my soils type? What
is the market for buying, for sell-
ing; for leasing? What are past
sales in the area? What is currently
for sale?
Regular office hours are Mon-
day through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. Stop in or call 732-5800. The

Klatt is liquidating his Main Street
building and electronics equipment
Web designer and electronic repair specialist Tim Klatt is selling his
building on Main Street in Pine Island and downsizing his inventory,
which includes a variety of electronic equipment.
By Audra DePestel
PINE ISLAND Tim Klatt re-
cently decided to downsize and
liquidate some of his things in-
cluding the building he owns lo-
cated at 235 South Main Street in
Pine Island. Klatt, who lives in
Byron, has owned the building for
the past twelve years. He has been
using it for storage for the last
year and also has been doing some
part-time electronic repair work
from there.
Klatt has a passion for working
on electronic equipment. He en-
joys working on TVs more than
computers and other electronics
devices because they are more of
a challenge. He also does com-
puter web design.
Along with the building, Klatt
is selling computers, laptops, la-
ser color printers, furniture, an-
tique radios, and more. He said he
has collected so much stuff over
the years that it was time to get rid
of some of it.

Wanamingo
Wanamingo officials prepare for
Cenex 4 Addition development
WANAMINGO On July 14,
city engineer Brandon Theobald
of WHKS Engineering of Roch-
ester informed the Wana-mingo
Economic Development Author-
ity (EDA) and the city council that
the scope of the Concast expan-
sion project has changed slightly.
The business in the Industrial Park
would like to expand their site and
has been working with the city
toward making this happen by
purchasing land to the south of
their business. Currently the land
south of Concast and Marcstone
is an outlot. For Concast to pur-
chase additional land from the city
and expand their site, the city must
prepare the Cenex 4 Addition for
infrastructure and development.
For months the city and Concast
have been working toward an
agreement for Concast to hire the
excavator, and to begin work on
their site immediately. In exchange,
the city would give consideration
for the cost of excavating the land
purchase. But Theobald and
Wanamingo City Administrator
Michael Boulton said that having
separate attorneys reviewing and
revising proposed agreements has
been time consuming. Theobald
said the project is moving forward,
but with the city including all ex-
cavating in their plans for devel-
opment making it one publicly
bid project.
The Cenex 4 Addition would
include about 4.6 acres directly
south of Concast that they would
like to purchase. In addition, the
land directly south of Marcstone,
next to Highway 57, would be plat-
ted into three rectangular lots with-
out utility easements to prepare
for future sale to commercial busi-
nesses.
Theobald submitted plans for
grading and roadway work to the
EDA for their review. He noted
that a waiver of trespass will be
secured giving the city authority
to complete work on Concasts
lot. The EDA approved the pur-
chase agreement with Parrot Head
Development, LLC, known as
Concast, and approved the revised
petition and waiver agreement with
the 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 to
move the project forward. The
council also approved this waiver.
The council approved ordering
improvements and directing prepa-
ration of final plans and specifi-
cations for Cenex 4 Addition, and
authorized calling for bids on the
project. They gave authorization
to submit a local government
DEED business development in-
frastructure grant in the amount
of $255,000; this could assist with
50% of utility infrastructure costs.
Since the projects scope has
changed, the previous land pur-
chase agreement was voided, and
the council approved a new pur-
chase agreement between the city
and Parrot Head Development.
Advertising for contractor bids
would begin this week. Bids are
due August 6. The council would
accept bids August 11. Theobald
said grading work on the Concast
site would need to be completed
by October 1, and contractors
would be subject to paying penal-
ties if any deadlines are not met.
Work on utilities along the 3rd
Avenue corridor must be com-
pleted by November 1. Theobald
recommended that contractors be
given the option to delay road work
until the fall of this year or the
spring of 2015 to avoid the city
paying a premium for having all
the work done this year. Final
completion of street work, curb,
gutter and bituminous would be
done by June 15, 2015.

ZUMBROTA The Goodhue/
Wabasha County 4-H Arts In camp
was held at the fairgrounds in
Zumbrota from July 22-24. Sev-
enteen youths from the two coun-
ties came together for three days
of practice for this years musi-
cal, Full Speed Ahead, which
will be performed twice daily at
the Goodhue County Fair. Direc-
tors are Nicole Wells and Peter
Mol of Red Wing.
The Star Wars universe and the
Star Trek universe collide in Full
Speed Ahead. At first, these two
groups are enemies but when faced
with a black hole that jeopardizes
both of their worlds, they have to
work together and ultimately be-
come friends. The thirty-minute
comedic rock musical features
parody songs including I Knew
You Were Trouble, Radio-ac-
tive, and Let It Go.
4-H is the states largest out-of-
school youth educational program.
Its mission is to help young people
acquire knowledge, develop life
skills, and form attitudes that will
enable them to become self-di-
recting, productive, contributing
members of society. Arts In is a
high energy, fun, performing arts
experience for youth interested in
acting, music, costume design, or
technical elements of a theatre
performance.
Amy Sauer and Beth Neil told
me to join and they are really good
friends with my family, so I thought
I would give it a try, said LeAnna
Collette, 19, of Dundas. The last
two years have been my favorite
because I have been a youth leader
and it is fun getting the younger
kids interested and excited in the
program. Collette has been in-
volved with Arts In for eight years
and expressed sadness that this
will be her last year in the pro-
gram.
Emily Wojahn, 11, of Cannon
Falls, is a first-time participant.
My older siblings have all been
in Arts In, and I thought it looked
fun, Wojahn explained of her
interest in the program. I will be
back next year!
In addition to the Goodhue
County Fair performances, the Arts
In team will be performing at the
Minnesota State Fair.

Toothbrush as paintbrush:
discover fun ways to paint
at Crossings camp
ZUMBROTA The world is
full of inspiring views and found
objects that can be used to dis-
cover new painting techniques.
Kids can explore this world and
make art at Inspiration Every-
where: Paint What You Find
August 11-15 at Crossings.
Local artist Bobby Marines will
show kids how to drip and splatter
paint, incorporate found objects
into a painting or use them as
models, and experiment wildly!
Campers will expand their paint-
ing skills and, along the way, be-
gin to see the world with new eyes
that open to imagine the possibili-
ties.
Marines is a young artist whos
no stranger to experimenting with
materials. For his first artistic en-
deavors as an adult, he used dis-
carded cardboard and house paint.
He has since graduated to other
materials, but his artwork remains
edgy and bold. This work is cur-
rently on display at Crossings,
through August 16.
This five-day camp starts Au-
gust 11 and runs 9:30 a.m. to 12
p.m. for grades 2 through 5, and
from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. for grades
5 through 12.
For a full day camp experience,
campers can also sign up for 3D 4
5Days, where they can make poly-
mer clay charms, plaster hand casts,
and fused glass creations, as well
as other fabulous 3D art. Camp
times run opposite of Inspiration
Everywhere for the same grade
levels.
Scholarships remain available
to campers through the generos-
ity of Zumbrota Community Trust.

Goodhue
By R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE At the Goodhue
School Board meeting on July 21,
Superintendent Mike Redmond
suggested using equipment cer-
tificates and capital facilities bonds
for completing capital projects.
When the certificates come due
they will be paid from capital rev-
enue.
The advantage of doing this in-
cludes completing large projects
and purchases in a timely manner
at todays prices. Also, there is no
additional burden to taxpayers, as
certificates and bonds are paid back
using capital revenue, and there is
a potential to receive discounts on
the cost of projects and purchases.
Redmond used the pending old
windows problem as an example.
By replacing poor windows now
and paying for them later, the school
will gain heating cost savings im-
mediately and for the duration of
the bonds and certificates. Disad-
vantages include some additional
costs in order to be able to access
a sum of money large enough to
complete the projects and make
purchases.
The cost of issuance for bonds
and certificates is slightly over 10%
of the total proceeds and expected
to 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 to
repay the bonds and certificates at
a cost of approximately $30,000
per year.
Board member Mike Kehren said
that it could amount to a large sav-
ings on just the cost today versus
what it might be in ten years. Us-
ing equipment certificates or capital
facilities bonds, the board approved
the following projects:
1. Replace all remaining single
pane windows, $162,827
2. Installation of window shades,
$17,700
3. Replacement of north side-
walk, ($21,881 less 50% covered
by the city) $10,941
4. Repair of alley pavement,
$10,448
5. Repair of northeast parking
lot, $20,895
6. Purchase of tractor, $14,332
The total cost is $237,143
In a related matter, Business
Manager Susan Paulson said that,
as in past years, there may still be
some short-term cash flow needs.
In recent years, the school district
has issued $1.3 million annually
in Aid Anticipation Certificates.
Paulson said that because of an
improved school funding outlook
the Aid Anticipation Certificates
will not be necessary for the up-
coming school year, and the dis-
trict can get by with a much less
expensive line of credit to cover
any short term cash flow needs
that may arise. She will be work-
ing with First Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank to set up this line of
credit. 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 fine
and that Region V may adopt it as
an example for other schools to
use. She is continuing to work on
finalizing the fiscal year 2014
budget. It appears the schools
expenditures are running approxi-
mately $50,000 greater than bud-
geted. The one area in which ex-
penditures are significantly greater
than budgeted is in purchased ser-
vices. This is due to the increased
cost purchases of natural gas and
special education services. It is
also due to a new expenditure in
the purchased services category,
the services of Teachers on Call
(TOC). But there is still a great
deal of reconciliation work to do
before finishing with the 2014
budget.
Operating levy
There was more discussion on
the boards authority to implement
an operating levy and local op-
tional revenue. It was stated that
the past two Minnesota legisla-
tive sessions have seen the imple-
mentation of new funding options
designed to provide greater eq-
uity between the levy-rich dis-
tricts primarily in the large metro
areas and the levy-poor districts
often found outstate.
These new funding options in-
clude the ability of a school board
to access up to $724 in operating
revenue without the need for voter
approval and a three-tiered sys-
tem of equalizing state aid for this
operating revenue. Much more of
the revenue coming to districts in
the first two tiers (up to $760 per
pupil) of this three-tiered system
now comes from state aid rather
than from local taxes. The amount
of 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 levy
revenue without voter approval.
While new to Minnesota, it is found
in other states. The $724 is made
up of a $300 board approved levy
and $424 of Local Optional Rev-
enue. Interestingly, a school dis-
trict must decide to opt in to the
$300 board approved levy, but must
decide to opt out of the local op-
tional revenue.
The school board would like to
hear from all concerned residents
about this financing option.
Superintendents report
Redmond spoke about the use
of Teachers on Call. He has done

He also reported that the
Chromebook program with Best

even received a phone call thank-
ing him for making it so easy. At
the moment, 60% of students with
free and reduced lunches have
purchased Chromebooks. The first
overall figures from Best Buy are
due on August 1.
The board looked at proposed
rental of the school and its facili-
ties. Redmond and school staff
will continue to study this matter
and work closely with the Com-
munity Education Committee and
user groups to make improvements
in the rental processes of the dis-
trict.
Staff changes
Sara Thompson was hired as a

Churches
Enough Food for All is focus
of Church Day on the Farm
As part of the Enough Food for All project, members of Minneola Lutheran Church collected food at church
during June. Hailey Schliep (left) and Jordan Schliep dropped off the bags of food at the Zumbrota Area Food
Shelf in mid-June. The congregation hopes to collect additional donations of food and money on August 10
when it sponsors Church on the Farm.
By Pastor Audree Catalano
GOODHUE After two suc-
cessful church community events
in 2013, Les and Cheryl Kyllo are
again preparing their farmstead and
barn for Church Day on the Farm
to be held Sunday, August 10. The
event will include worship, fel-
lowship, and a meal, with the pri-
mary focus of raising awareness
and donations for food insecurity
in Southeast Minnesota. The event,
sponsored by Minneola Lutheran
Church, is part of a synod-wide
effort called Enough Food for
All. The Kyllos farm is located
at 14414 County 50 Boulevard,
Goodhue.
Food insecurity is prevalent
throughout the world, but food
insecurity also exists in our own
backyards - among our neighbors,
and throughout our communities.
This local need has led to an
Enough Food for All effort with
the goal of ending food insecurity
in southeastern Minnesota in the
next five years.
Many people of all faiths have
been moved to become a part of
the Enough Food for All project.
As our churches have become
aware of this growing need, an all
out effort is now in the works with
many churches and local commu-
nity organizations partner-ing with
Enough Food for All, working
with food banks and the county
public health offices on the project.
Many individuals and groups are
jumping on board to contribute
food to local food pantries and to
others whom we are aware of need-
ing food for their families, includ-
ing the elderly and others in need
of good nutrition. Policies and
programs are being advocated to
lessen the need for food pantries.
Hoping to continue to build the
momentum and as a good way to
join together with your neighbor
for conversation and fellowship,
plan to attend Church on the Farm
August 10. The day will begin at
10 a.m. with a worship service in
a unique atmosphere where all are
welcome to participate. A meal
will follow for a free-will dona-
tion. Everyone is also asked to
bring a donation of a canned food
item or fresh produce. Games, in-
cluding bean bags, will be avail-
able to play after lunch. Please
bring a folding chair for seating.
The Kyllo farm, located approx-
imately eight miles from either
Goodhue or Zumbrota and six miles
from Wanamingo, is conveniently
located for folks from several com-
munities to attend.
Please join us for this day in the
country and become an advocate
for Enough Food for All. All
proceeds from the event will go to
the Enough Food for All project.
Members of the Church on the
Farm planning committee include
Les and Cheryl Kyllo, Denny
Veiseth, Joy Post, and Interim
Pastor Audree Catalano.

BUSINESS
Threading exempt from cos-
metology licensure
Sponsored by Rep. Linda
Slocum (DFL-Richfield) and Sen.
James Metzen (DFL-South St.
Paul), a new law will exempt
threading from cosmetology licen-
sure, classifying it as an unregu-
lated service.
Threading is described as a
method of removing hair from the
eyebrows, upper lip, or other body
parts by using cotton thread to pull
hair from follicles. While thread-
ing does not require the use of
chemicals or waxes, it may in-
clude the use of over-the-counter
astringents, gels and powders; and
possibly tweezers and scissors.

Notaries can charge more for
services
Maximum fees for notary pub-
lic services will increase from $1
to $5. Rep. Linda Runbeck (R-
Circle Pines) and Sen. Roger
Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) spon-
sor the law.
Some of the services notaries
provide are for legal documents,
oaths, deed acknowledgments and
protest of unpaid bills.

CIVIL LAW
Gender-specific language re-
moved in real estate transactions
Changes relating to spousal
ownership are part of a new law
that deals with real estate. The law
removes the terms such as hus-
band and wife and replaces them
with spouses married to each
other to alleviate deed and mort-
gage problems under current law.
In addition to clarifying some
definitions, the law, sponsored by
Rep. Melissa Hortman (DFL-
Brooklyn Park) and Sen. Scott
Newman (R-Hutchinson), clari-
fies that a non-titled spouse who
joins in the execution of a transfer
on death deed essentially used
by a property owner to avoid pro-
bate is not a grantor owner,
does not have the right to later
revoke the deed and has no claim
to the property upon the death of
the grantor owner. It also clarifies
that property owned by joint ten-
ants requires the deed to be ex-
ecuted by all the owners and their
respective spouses, even if the
spouses are not record owners, and
that revocation of a deed revokes
the deed in its entirety.
Language will be removed that
holds liable a person who wrong-
fully records a fraudulent mort-
gage satisfaction or release. Sup-
porters say the intent is to place
liability on the person executing
the fraudulent satisfaction or re-
lease of a mortgage, not the per-
son recording the document.
HF2188*/SF2003/CH266
Judges given more say over for-
feiture actions
If a spouse commits a crime that
involves a vehicle, such as drive-
by shooting or controlled substance
offense, the vehicle could be for-
feited, even if it is owned by an-
other party.
A new forfeiture law addresses
what some say is an unfair action
toward a person who may not have
knowledge of the crime.
Sponsored by Rep. Susan Allen
(DFL-Mpls) and Sen. Dave Th-
ompson (R-Lakeville), the law
moves the burden of proof for for-
feiture action by the judge and
lays out criteria for consideration,
which includes if:
a person is convicted of the
criminal offense related to the ac-
tion for forfeiture; or
a person is not charged with a
criminal offense related to action
for forfeiture based in whole or in
part on the persons agreement to
provide information regarding the
criminal activity of another per-
son.
The law maintains the burden
of proving by clear and convinc-
ing evidence that the property was
used in the underlying offense.
HF1082/ SF874*/CH201
Data breach prompts new pro-
tections, penalties
Several recent high-profile data
breaches by public employees,
including one by a former Depart-
ment of Natural Resources em-
ployee who inappropriately ac-
cessed thousands of drivers li-
cense files, spurred a new law that
lays out penalties and preventive
measures for these actions.
Sponsored by Rep. Mary Liz
Holberg (R-Lakeville) and Sen.
D. Scott Dibble (DFL-Mpls), the
law will:
require procedures for ensur-
ing that private data is accessible
only to those whose work assign-
ment calls for that access;
expand current law to require
all government entities, not just
state agencies, to notify individu-
als if a breach of their data has
occurred; and
establish penalties for employ-
ees responsible for the breach.
Once it has been determined that
a breach has occurred, a report
will be required that, at a mini-
mum, must include:
a description of the type of
data accessed or acquired;
the number of individuals
whose data was improperly ac-
cessed or acquired;
the name of each employee
determined to be responsible for
the unauthorized access or acqui-
sition; and
disciplinary action, if any, taken
against each employee involved.
Those whose information has
been compromised will receive
written notification from the gov-
ernment entity of the breach, and
the opportunity to request of copy
of the completed report. HF183*/

EMPLOYMENT
Minimum wage increased for
the first time in 10 years
The states minimum hourly
wage begins its climb to $9.50 by
2016. Under the new law, spon-
sored by Rep. Ryan Winkler (DFL-
Golden Valley) and Sen. Jeff
Hayden (DFL-Mpls), the states
minimum hourly wage will in-
crease to $8 from $6.15, phasing
up to $9.50 by 2016.
Details of the law include:
for businesses with gross an-
nual sales of at least $500,000, $8
minimum hourly wage beginning
August 2014, $9 in August 2015
and $9.50 one year later;
for businesses under $500,000
in gross annual sales, $6.50 mini-
mum hourly wage beginning Au-
gust 2014, $7.25 in August 2015
and $7.75 one year later;
the $7.75 minimum wage rate
would also apply for large busi-
nesses in the following circum-
stances: 90-day training wage for
18 and 19 year olds, all 16 and 17
year olds and employees working
under a J1 visa;
beginning in 2018, all wages
would increase each year on Jan.
1 by inflation measured by the
implicit price deflator capped at
2.5 percent; and
the indexed increase could be
suspended for one year by the com-
missioner of the Department of
Labor and Industry if
leading economic indicators indi-
cate the possibility of a substan-
tial downturn in the economy. The
suspension could only be imple-
mented after a public hearing and
public comment period. In better
economic times, the
suspended inflationary increase or
a lesser amount could be added
back into the minimum wage rate
in a subsequent year.
The law also includes a provi-
sion to allow state employees to
use up to 80 hours of vacation
donation from a sick leave account
after the death of a spouse or de-
pendent child.
HF2091*/SF1775/CH166
ENVIRONMENT
Products containing toxic chemi-
cals further regulated
Manufacturers of thermostats
that contain mercury will be tak-
ing on greater financial responsi-
bility for keeping these products
out of the states waste stream.
Under the new law, previous
exemptions to the mercury ban
are removed and no mercury-con-
taining products will be allowed
into a solid waste or wastewater
disposal system, or a solid waste
processing or disposal facility.
Manufacturers will be held ac-
countable for the costs of collect-
ing and replacing old mercury ther-
mostats. The law also removes
exemptions from the ban on mer-
cury thermometers, including
mercury thermometers for food
research and processing.
The law, sponsored by Rep.
Melissa Hortman (DFL-Brooklyn
Park) and Sen. John Marty (DFL-
Roseville), also bans the retail sale
of cleaning products containing
the anti-bacterial compound
triclosan beginning Jan. 1, 2017.
The ban on triclosan, one of
several toxic chemicals regulated
in the law, includes products used
by consumers for sanitizing or
hand-and-body cleansing. The ban
will not apply to products that have
been specifically approved for
consumer use by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration.
HF2542/SF2192*/CH277
HIGHER EDUCATION
Reporting measures about stu-
dents studying abroad increase
Colleges will be required to re-
port to the secretary of state about
instances in which students die or
have accidents and illnesses while
participating in study abroad pro-
grams. The provisions are part of
the omnibus supplemental appro-
priations law sponsored by Rep.
Lyndon Carlson Sr. (DFL-Crys-
tal) and Sen. Richard Cohen (DFL-
St. Paul).
The law also directs the Office
of Higher Education to use its ex-
isting funds to assess the appro-
priate state regulation of study
abroad programs, with a report
due to higher education legisla-
tive committees by Feb. 1, 2015.
Another provision in the law
allows military veterans to receive
the resident tuition rate at Minne-
sota public higher education in-
stitutions. This is effective for
academic terms beginning after
Aug. 1, 2014.
HF3172*/SF2785/CH312
HUMANITIES
Cesar Chavez Day in Minne-
sota set for March 31
Beginning next year, Minnesota
will celebrate Cesar Chavez Day
every March 31.
The new law, sponsored by Rep.
Carlos Mariani (DFL-St. Paul) and
Sen. Patricia Torres Ray (DFL-
Mpls), seeks to recognize the con-
tributions Latinos have made to
the state and to provide an oppor-
tunity for residents to learn about
the Latino community. Chavez was
a community organizer who
worked to improve the working
conditions of Latinos throughout
the country.
HF1631/SF1509*/CH159
Two sites receive official his-
toric designation
The Sibley Historic Site and Mill
City Museum are added to the list
of the states historic sites.
Washburn Crosby Complex
(Mill City Museum) is located in
downtown Minneapolis and is a
National Historic Landmark. It was
built between 1878 and 1880 and
for over a century was used to
process grain. After lying dormant
for several decades, the area is
now a hub of revitalization.
The Sibley Historic Site in
Mendota holds some of
Minnesotas oldest buildings, in-
cluding the home of the states
first governor, Henry Hastings
Sibley.
The law, sponsored by Rep. Mike
Freiberg (DFL-Golden Valley) and
Sen. Bev Scalze (DFL-Little
Canada), also changes Meighen
Store to Historic Forestville in the
state historic sites law and the name
of the State History Center to the
Minnesota History Center.
HF2937*/SF2654/CH174
FAMILY
Modifications made to court-
ordered parenting time factors
One of the most contentious is-
sues to resolve during divorce is
parenting time. A new law makes
changes to factors that could be
considered in court-ordered plans.
A significant change will allow
for modification of court-ordered
parenting time plans over time,
based on the childs best interest
and their developmental needs.
Other provisions in the law spon-
sored by Rep. Tim Mahoney (DFL-
St. Paul) and Sen. Chris Eaton
(DFL-Brooklyn Park) include:
no presumption for or against
joint physical custody, except when
domestic abuse, as defined in the
order for protection statute, has
occurred between the parents;
a provision that when the court
is considering awarding either joint
legal or joint physical custody, it
may not use one of the four fac-
tors considered to the exclusion
of all the other factors;
that a disagreement over sole or
joint custody is not to be consid-
ered an inability of parents to co-
operate when considering the fac-
tors in awarding joint legal or physi-
cal custody; and
a requirement that the court
make detailed factual findings
whenever the parties disagree about
an award of either sole or joint
physical or legal custody.
HF2722*/SF2732/CH197
GAME AND FISH
Controversial wolf hunt law
receives minor changes
The federal government in 2012
removed the gray wolf in the west-
ern Great Lakes area from the en-
dangered species list and the De-
partment of Natural Resources
established a wolf hunt. This years
game and fish law has two wolf
hunting-related provisions: a per-
son with multiple convictions for
unlawfully killing wolves is liable
for a civil penalty equal to the
restitution value of the wolf and
the DNR must compile a list thats
updated quarterly on known wolf
deaths.
Sponsored by Rep. David Dill
(DFL-Crane Lake) and Sen. Matt
Schmit (DFL-Red Wing), the new
law has other non-wolf related
sections that:
prohibit snowmobiles on state
forest lands, except designated
forest roads, during the firearms
deer hunting season in areas where
rifles are permitted. The law makes
an exception for licensed deer
hunters before or after legal shoot-
ing hours;
increase the maximum weight
of an all-terrain vehicle that may
be classified as a Class 1 all-ter-
rain vehicle;
allow a person aged 60 or older
to hunt deer, bear, turkey or rough
fish with a crossbow during the
archery season. Currently, cross-
bow hunting is only allowed dur-
ing the regular firearms seasons;
direct the DNR to administer
a grant program to local recre-
ational trap shooting clubs;
allow for a person with per-
manent disabilities or a disabled
veteran to obtain hunting and fish-
ing licenses with a drivers license
or Minnesota identification card
that provides proof of their dis-
ability;
prohibit people from hunting
with thermal imaging equipment;
direct the DNR to amend its
rules regarding the minimum size
limits for muskie;
direct the DNR to study the
feasibility of restoring Minnesotas
wild quail population; and,
allow an organization to con-
duct raffles in conjunction with
wild game or fishing events.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Open meeting law changed to
reflect digital age
Sponsored by Rep. Mike Freiberg
(DFL-Golden Valley) and Sen. Patricia
Torres Ray (DFL-Mpls), a new law
allows social media communication
between elected officials and the gen-
eral public.
Also included in the law is a provi-
sion that allows state agencies to post
scheduled meetings on their websites
along with an up-to-date schedule of
upcoming meetings. Previously, state
agencies were required to post meet-
ing notices in the State Register.
HF2236*/SF2472/CH274
PUBLIC SAFETY
Law targets synthetic drug prob-
lem
The manufacturing and distribu-
tion of synthetic drugs continues to
remain problematic; however, a new
law aims to reduce the chances of
these ending up in Minnesota com-
munities.
Sponsored by Rep. Erik Simonson
(DFL-Duluth) and Sen. Roger Reinert
(DFL-Duluth), the law largely comes
from recommendations of the bipar-
tisan House Select Committee on
Controlled Substances and Synthetic
Drugs that met between the 2013 and
2014 sessions.
The law expands the statutory defi-
nition of drug to include any com-
pound, substance, or derivative which
is not approved for human consump-
tion by the United States Food and
Drug Administration or specifically
permitted for human consumption by
Minnesota law, and when introduced
to the body induces an effect similar
to that of scheduled drugs.
The Board of Pharmacy will be
permitted to issue cease and desist
orders to businesses selling synthetic
drugs that contain a banned substance.
An affected business will be entitled
to an administrative hearing to fight
the order. If no hearing is requested
within 30 days of the order, the cease
and desist order will become perma-
nent and will remain in effect until
modified or vacated by the board.
Sellers of synthetic drugs offering
the drug under the false pretense that
the substance is legal shall be ordered
by a court to pay restitution for the
costs and expenses resulting from the
sale. This could include emergency
response costs and potential long-term
care costs for the victim.
HF2446*/SF2028/CH285
False claims protection extended
for cops, corrections employees
Someone who files a false record,
such as one not related to a valid
lien or security agreement, with
intent to retaliate against a judi-
cial or court officer, prosecutor,
defense attorney, sheriff and county
recorder because of their perfor-
mance of official duties is guilty
of a felony and could receive up
to five years imprisonment.
Sponsored by Rep. Tony Cor-
nish (R-Vernon Center) and Sen.
Julianne Ortman (R-Chanhassen),
a new law adds to the list a police
officer or chief of police and a
state or local corrections official
or employee.
HF1585/SF1360*/CH306
Crime of violence definition
expands
Three crimes will be added to the
states crime of violence statute while
others will be removed.
Sponsored by Rep. Michael Paymar
(DFL-St. Paul) and Sen. Vicki Jensen
(DFL-Owatonna), a new law adds
felony fifth-degree assault, felony
domestic assault and felony domes-
tic assault by strangulation. If con-
victed of a crime of violence, a per-
son is prohibited for life from legally
possessing firearms in the state.
Coming off the list would be theft
of a motor vehicle and theft involv-
ing property from a burning, aban-
doned or vacant building or from an
area of destruction caused by a civil
disaster, riot, bombing or the prox-
imity of battle.
HF263*/SF1772/CH260
Domestic abusers, stalkers pro-
hibited from having a firearm
Someone who commits domes-
tic violence or stalks another per-
son will lose access to a firearm.
A new law prohibits a person
subject to an order for protection
in a child or domestic abuse case
from possessing weapons for the
length of the order under certain
circumstances and requires them
to surrender their firearms as would
someone convicted of a domestic
assault or stalking offense if be-
ing prohibited from possessing
firearms is part of their punish-
ment.
Rep. Dan Schoen (DFL-St. Paul
Park) and Sen. Ron Latz (DFL-
St. Louis Park) sponsor the legis-
lation.
The new law does not allow the
government to take guns without
due process or a court conviction
nor does it allow illegal searches
and seizures.
An abusing party will need to
transfer possession of their fire-
arms to a law enforcement agency,
a federally licensed firearms dealer
or a third party within three busi-
ness days. A person who accepts
a transferred firearm from an abus-
ing party or offender will be guilty
of a gross misdemeanor if the of-
fender obtains possession of the
transferred firearm while prohib-
ited from possessing firearms.
HF3238*/SF2639/CH213
STATE GOVERNMENT
More than 1,000 provisions
eliminated
Dubbed the Unsession, Gov.
Mark Dayton wanted the Legisla-
ture to eliminate redundant, old
and outdated rules and laws in an
effort to make state government
more efficient. Many of the more
than 1,000 provisions signed into
law during the 2014 session, take
effect Aug. 1. Here is a sampling
of the laws that are no more, seen
their implementation delayed or
tweaked to be more workable.
Agriculture
State lawmakers in 2008 passed
legislation that required diesel fuel
sold in Minnesota to contain at
least 20 percent biodiesel, known
as B20, by May 1, 2015. The
new law delays the mandate until
May 1, 2018. The mandate for
B10 and B20, when in effect, will
also no longer apply in the month
of October. That means the man-
date will only apply from April to
September. The new law, spon-
sored by Rep. Jeanne Poppe (DFL-
Austin) and Rep. Dan Sparks
(DFL-Austin), also creates an ex-
emption for companies that test
engines for sale in states that dont
have a biodiesel mandate.
In addition, the new law:
removes a requirement that
the Department of Agriculture
create an agricultural product pro-
cessing and marketing grant pro-
gram;
eliminates inspection and li-
censing requirements for non-resi-
dent frozen food manufacturers;
eliminates certain apple and
potato grading statutes; and
repeals statute requiring the
department to develop a list of
manure management research and
monitoring needs.
HF2746*/SF2618/CH181
Local Government
A 1980s-era law that allowed
municipalities to contract with
private entities for water and waste-
water services has been repealed.
Rep. Rick Hansen (DFL-South
St. Paul), who sponsors the law
with Sen. James Metzen (DFL-
South St. Paul), said that munici-
palities havent utilized the law.
The law allows the Metropolitan
Council to continue to use the au-
thority.
HF2622*/SF2764/CH258
Public Safety
At one time the Department of
Corrections sold farm equipment,
and if a farmer who could not make
payment on a piece of machinery
bought from the department they
could have their land taken as a
payment. The statute is no longer
needed because the department
does not sell farm equipment.
Sponsored by Rep. Michael
Paymar (DFL-St. Paul) and Sen.
Ron Latz (DFL-St. Louis Park),
the law also deletes language re-
lated to a state correctional facil-
ity in Sauk Centre that no longer
exists.
Other provisions include:
deletion of a reference to the
obsolete PREPARE program at
the Red Wing juvenile facility;
removing obsolete language
about a former University of Min-
nesota program that trained new
probation and supervised release
officers;
removing obsolete language
in the Interstate Compact on Ju-
veniles to maintain agreement with
other states in the compact;
repealing language to the Work
and Learn Facilities for Youth, a
program that no longer exists;
repealing language relating to
conservation camps, which the
department no longer runs;
deleting an obsolete reference
to inmates serving on the board of
directors or holding executive
positions that are subordinate to
the correctional staff on prison
corporations, industry or educa-
tional programs; and
repealing language for the
Grants-In-Aid to Counties for
Adult Detention Facilities and
Programs and Juvenile Detention
Services Subsidy Program. The
department has not distributed
funds to counties for construction
of adult or juvenile detention fa-
cilities in at least 15 years.
HF2755*/SF2410/CH218
Transportation
There was a time when telephone
booths were found along highway
right-of-ways. These utilities housed
a connection for emergency service
or a place to make a call and get direc-
tions. With the proliferation of cell
phones and other technology in our
vehicles, phone booths have gone the
way of the phone book. A new law
repeals authorization for outdoor tele-
phone booths on highway right-of-
way.
Sponsored by Rep. Connie Bernardy
(DFL-Fridley) and Sen. D. Scott
Dibble (DFL-Mpls), the law also:
eliminates a report on jobs cre-
ated or retained for MnDOT state-aid
projects under $5 million;
adds passenger rail to a list of
types of capital projects exempt from
final advisory review by the Senate
Finance Committee and House Ways
and Means Committee;
strikes language allowing funds
from the town bridge account to be
used to construct a culvert that re-
places a deficient bridge;
eliminates Department of Trans-
portation authority to acquire lands
to be used for drivers license exam
stations;
removes a mandated report to the
House and Senate transportation com-
mittees on all projects funded by the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009;
removes references to the now
obsolete Star City and County sign
program;
strikes a requirement that a report
on oil pipelines be delivered to the
Legislature by Jan. 1, 1979;
re-establishes and modifies per-
missible uses of state grants for local
bridges in cities and towns with fewer
than 5,000 residents, and removes a
cap on the size of the grant;
repeals a requirement that state
officials receive approval from the
secretary of the Army before con-
structing a bridge over navigable
waters; and
repeals a section of law declaring
it a gross misdemeanor against a rail-
road officer who employs an engi-
neer who cannot read that is also
chargeable against the engineer.

TRANSPORTATION
Motorists involved in a collision
required to stop and investigate
Sponsored by Rep. Paul Rosenthal
(DFL-Edina) and Sen. Kevin Dahle
(DFL-Northfield), a new law expands
a drivers responsibility following a
collision by requiring them to stop
and investigate what was struck. It
also expands what conditions require
a motorist to remain at the scene.
Additionally, the term accident
will be replaced by collision in hit-
and-run provisions in state statute.

Roads renamed to honor two
fallen heroes
A portion of Highway 8 from Cen-
ter City through Chisago City will be
renamed the Nicholas Patrick Spehar
Memorial Highway, and Minnesota
Highway 36 running through North
St. Paul will be designated the Of-
ficer Richard Crittenden, Sr., Memo-
rial Highway.
A highly-decorated Navy SEAL,
Spehar was killed in a 2011 helicop-
ter crash while serving in Afghani-
stan, his third deployment. The law,
sponsored by Rep. Bob Barrett (R-
Lindstrom) and Sen. Sean Nienow
(R-Cambridge), specifies that fund-
ing for the signage must come from
non-state sources.
Rep. Leon Lillie (DFL-North St.
Paul) and Sen. Chuck Wiger (DFL-
Maplewood) sponsor the law to honor
Crittenden, a North St. Paul police
officer who was killed in the line of
duty on Sept. 7, 2009. Signage fund-
ing must come from non-state sources.

Special license plates for veter-
ans and firefighters authorized
Individuals who were wounded
during active military service in a
foreign war and those who served more
than 10 years as a member of a fire
department can apply for special com-
bat wounded veteran license plates
for a motorcycle or retired firefighter
license plates, respectively.
Sponsored by Rep. Kathy Brynaert
(DFL-Mankato) and Sen. Kathy
Sheran (DFL-Mankato), firefighters
and wounded veterans will pay a $10
special fee for the plates along with
other motor vehicle fees.
Veterans applying for the plates
must have a certified copy of their
discharge papers, indicating the na-
ture of their discharge. The veterans
affairs commissioner may certify those
veterans who served in the active
military in a branch of the armed forces
for an ally of the United States in a
foreign war but unable to obtain a
record of their service and discharge
status. The special plate had previ-
ously been available for various pas-
senger vehicles, but under the new
law will now also be an option for
motorcycles.
Retired firefighters must provide a
letter from a fire chief affirming their
ten or more years of service and re-
tirement in good standing.

Majerus announces candidacy for
Goodhue County Commissioner
My name is Jason Majerus and
I am seeking your vote for Goodhue
CountyCommissioner on August
12.
I am 36 years old and am a life-
long resident of Goodhue County.
I live on a small farm just outside
of Bellechester with my wife and
four children. After graduating
from Goodhue High School I
earned a bachelors degree in busi-
ness administration at Gustavus
Adolphus College. While at
Gustavus I joined the United States
Marine Corps Officer Candidate
School. Although I chose to run
the family business over a mili-
tary career, I will always be grate-
ful for the personal discipline, code
of honor and love for my country
that the training instilled in me.
I met my best friend and love of
my life during high school and
was fortunate enough to also at-
tend the same college. We were
married in 2002. My wife Johanna
(Sammelson) was born and raised
in Goodhue County. She gradu-
ated from Red Wing High School
and studied Nursing at Gustavus
Adolphus College. As a regis-
tered nurse she enjoys working as
the school nurse at Lake City Public
Schools. The greatest joy in our
lives are our four children: Jacey
9, Morgan 7, Alexsandra (Lexi) 5
and Samuel 2.
Throughout school I worked at
Majerus Garage and a local dairy.
Sleeping in was never an option
as I was responsible for doing farm
chores before school in the morn-
ing. The work ethic I learned as a
teenager has served me well as
our business and family has grown.
I am proud to be an owner and
manager of the Lake City branch
of the family business. Majerus
Garage was started in 1919 by my
great-grandfather, JB Majerus. For
the past 95 years my family has
helped keep the cars, trucks and
equipment of Goodhue County
running. Today our business pro-
vides jobs for 13 families, who
like me, enjoy living in this beau-
tiful area. Like most small busi-
nessmen I am the first to arrive
and the last to leave. I will bring
this work ethic to Goodhue County.
My free time is spent with my
family. I want to teach them how
to enjoy the outdoors and give back
to their community. We are cur-
rently working on getting their 4-
H projects ready for the Goodhue
County Fair. As a family we also
enjoy going on horse rides, play-
ing or watching sporting events
and occasional trips to the family
cabin.
Looking to the future for my
children was ultimately why I made
the decision to run for county com-
missioner. I work hard to provide
every opportunity for my children
and would like the opportunity to
make a better future for all fami-
lies in the county. As a county
commissioner you have a very
important role in shaping the fu-
ture and direction of Goodhue
County. I have the necessary skills
with my education and work ex-
perience that allow me to under-
stand making a budget and living
within that budget. I know how to
prioritize expenditures and how
to make hard choices. I am a good
manager and will bring my assets
to Goodhue County. We need a
different outlook and new ideas
to move this county into the fu-
ture. I would like to be your next
commissioner.

CANNON FALLS A grand
opening celebration was held Fri-
day, July 25, for the new Mayo
Clinic Health System (MCHS)
facility in Cannon Falls. The doors
were opened to welcome bene-
factors, area residents, volunteers,
and employees for tours through
the facility. Shuttle busses trans-
ported the large numbers of guests
to the medical center. Many also
attended the ribbon-cutting cer-
emony and other festivities held
throughout the afternoon and early
evening.
The new 92,000 square foot fa-
cility provides nearly three times
the space that has been available
in the existing hospital, clinic, and
nearby buildings to meet patient
needs.
Construction of the new build-
ing began in March 2013. It is
located on a 45-acre site along
County 24 Boulevard and will be
accessible off Highway 52 via the
new interchange on the south end
of Cannon Falls.
The days events
Providing comments at the rib-
bon cutting event were Dr. Tho-
mas Witt, President and CEO of
MCHS in Cannon Falls, Lake City,
and Red Wing; Dr. John
Noseworthy, President and CEO
of Mayo Clinic; Kathy Brekken,
chair of the community campaign
cabinet; and Goodhue County
Commissioner Richard Samuel-
son.
Dr. Noseworthy talked of the
significance of the project not only
to Cannon Falls, but to the greater
community. He thanked the many
donors and employees for this
remarkable facility put together
by the 4000 people of Cannon Falls.
He also shared the story of a Mayo
patient who had traveled from
Wyoming to Rochester, seeking
specialized care. After initial treat-
ment at Mayo Clinic Rochester,
the adult male patient, weighing
just 90 pounds, was transferred to
Cannon Falls to receive transitional
care. The patient later said, The
people in Rochester saved my life;
but the people in Cannon Falls
gave me my life back.
Brekken highlighted the history
of the Cannon Falls hospital, first
constructed in 1958, and recent
history leading to the new facil-
ity. While Mayo Clinic provided
$20 million (approximately two-
thirds) of the new construction,
Brekken praised the local com-
munity for providing the remain-
der. In addition to the use of levy
money, $6 million was raised from
local donors, including medical
center employees who contributed
more than $200,000, surpassing
their fundraising goal.
Following the ribbon-cutting by
Brekken and Bill Priest, chief ad-
ministrative officer of MCHS in
Cannon Falls, building tours con-
tinued. Food, music, and childrens
activities also continued through-
out the event. The days festivi-
ties concluded with a fireworks
display in downtown Cannon Falls.
State-of-the-art facility
The new building includes the
clinic, hospital and a 24/7 emer-
gency department. The helipad is
near the emergency department.
Ample parking for employees and
patients is available. There are 180
employees at the Cannon Falls
location.
MCHS in Cannon Falls provides
the only hospital on Highway 52
between the Twin Cities and Roch-
ester. The emergency services have
been expanded from what had been
available at the previous location.
The Emergency Depart-ment has
been designed to accommodate
projected needs into the future. It
has five patient treatment rooms,
and a waiting area. The ambulance
garage has room for two vehicles
to enter.
Another area of expansion is
rehabilitation services. Space was
added to provide necessary equip-
ment for patients needing physi-
cal and occupational therapy or
cardiac rehabilitation following an
illness or surgery, including pa-
tients in Mayo Transitional Care.
This type of care may be appli-
cable for patients recovering from
an illness or surgery who no longer
need acute care, but cant return
home yet.
The new operating room is three
times larger than the previous one.
Guests stopped to visit outside before or after touring the new medical center in Cannon Falls. Adjacent to
the emergency department is the laboratory area and radiology and imaging. Registration and clinic services
are also on the main level. A lower level houses the cafeteria, administration, and building support while the
second level contains the hospital suites, pharmacy, surgery, infusion therapy, and rehabilitation.
Celebratory applause began as the ribbon was cut at the July 25 grand
opening for the new facility for the Mayo Clinic Health System (MCHS)
in Cannon Falls. From left to right are Ed Tusa, Glenn Christian, Vaughn
Bartch, Tim Kelly, Doug Parks, Tom Witt, M.D., Bill Priest, Mark Koch,

Clinic, and Richard Samuelson.
