Economic Development Author-ity has been working on a pro-gram to help with commercialbuilding rehabilitation. The EDAplanned for $100,000 of the Roch-ester sales tax money to financethe project, which the city councilapproved at the April 2 meeting.Dan King and Dale Hinderakerspoke on behalf of the EDA.

In order to encourage local busi-ness owners to make necessaryimprovements to buildings in com-mercial districts, the EDA is an-nouncing the Commercial Build-ing Improvement Program. Theprogram offers forgivable loansfor building improvements locatedwithin the city’s commercial zon-ing districts. Funding for the pro-gram is made available specifi-cally through the sales tax money.Forgivable loan funds are limited,and all applications will be re-viewed on a first-come, first-servedbasis. Priority will be given toprojects which maximize ownerinvestment and offer the greatestoverall aesthetic impact.

The purpose of the program isto encourage appropriate exteriorand interior improvements to build-ings in commercial zoning dis-tricts. This promotes economicdevelopment through:

1. Preservation and enhancement

of the city’s rich architectural heri-tage

2. Enrichment of visual appealand vibrancy of commercial ar-eas

3. Increasing the local propertytax base

4. Fostering job preservation and/or expansion

The program can be used forany necessary exterior or interiorrepairs/improvements, code vio-lation corrections, handicappedaccessibility and energy efficiencyimprovements.

The minimum amount of assis-tance per building is $1,000 andthe maximum is $10,000. Themaximum percentage of assistanceper building is 50% of the totalproject cost.

The program provides a forgiv-able loan of up to $10,000 for aten-year period. Recipients willenter into a repayment agreementwith the EDA which states thatthe loan will be deferred (becomesa grant) if the property is not soldor the title transferred to someoneoutside of the family within a ten-year period from the loan date.This program applies only to theowner of the property, not a renterdue to the city’s needing to placea lien on the property.

The current proposed order statesthat “If the property is sold or titletransferred within the ten-year

period the loan obligation willbecome payable in full accordingto the repayment agreement.” BradDrenckhahn and Sara Durhmanboth expressed that they wouldlike the EDA to discuss other op-tions that would allow for “wiggleroom” when it comes to repay-ment, such as if a business goesunder after seven years instead often then they are responsible foronly 75% of their loan repaymentrather than the full amount. Kingand Hinderaker agreed to discussthis at the April 15 EDA meeting.

Durhman suggested to have theapplication process be opened upto everyone without the stipula-tion of a maximum loan amount,out of fear that some businessesmay not even try to apply and takeadvantage of the program.Hinderaker said, “That would openup a can of worms and things wouldget too subjective.”

Council approved that the$100,000 be allocated to theproject, and that the project getunder way with the understand-ing that the overall plan and de-tails may change along the way.Speed monitoring update

weather is known as a hindrancefor traditional golfers, closingcourses several months a year dueto snow and cold. But Zumbrota’sdisc golf course, located in Cov-ered Bridge Park, is open and readyto be used year-round by playersof all ages.

The nine-hole course has beencompleted for nearly two years.Following approval by the Zum-brota Park Board and availabilityof funds, the disc golf baskets wereinstalled in the fall of 2012 withthe tee boxes completed in May2013. A course map sign was addedin the summer of 2014. Work waslargely done by volunteers.

Funding for the initial set-upand ongoing maintenance has comefrom several sources. Grants fromthe Zumbrota Community Trustprovided for the skateboard parkacross Highway 58 from the parkand also the disc golf course. Con-crete for the tee boxes was do-

Bob Bird and Dan King volunteered to install the tee boxes for the nine-hole disc golf course at Covered Bridge Park in May 2013.

Alyssa Perra joins dad Jim Perra in a round of disc golf and checks outthe course map at Covered Bridge Park during Christmas break 2014.The map was added in the summer of 2014.

Snow fences are placed around thedisc golf baskets for the winter.This alerts snowmobilers who maybe traversing the area. Disc golfcan be played year round, even inthe snow.

Disc golf course is open year-roundnated by Concast, Inc. Louis Banitt,a Zumbrota native and disc golfenthusiast, donated money for setsof discs, along with handy carry-ing cases. The sets are availablefor checkout at the Zumbrota PublicLibrary.

The collection and sale of alu-minum cans provides for ongoingmaintenance of the disc golf courseand skateboard park. The gravitywagon used to collect the alumi-num cans for recycling was do-nated by Tyrone Friese. Jim Perra,a disc golfer and avid supporterand volunteer of the local course,said the 99th wagon load of canswas recently crushed and sold,bringing the weight total to 14 tonsof aluminum. Perra encouragespeople to continue placing emptyaluminum cans in the large wagonparked in the lot on West Avenuebetween 3rd and 4th Streets. Perra,Bob Bird, and Ellis Benson arethe can-crushing team and wouldwelcome additional volunteers.Course features

The disc golf course covers a

total of 2,815 feet with the dis-tance between baskets ranging fromunder 300 feet to over 400 feet.Perra said there were temporarycourses set up during CoveredBridge Festival for a few yearswhich helped in determining thedesign for the permanent course.“Eight and nine are tricky. Thereis a lot of contour. The disc goesinto the woods all too easily,” saidPerra, who has played the coursein all types of weather. “I’ve playedthere in the snow; it’s tough whenit is muddy.” In general, the courseis described as being great for be-ginners and for practice. Perra said,“It takes about 40 minutes to playa round, depending if you havetrouble finding the last disc.”

Perra pointed out that disc golfis a great game and a sport for allages and for families. He has seentwo and three generations of fami-lies playing the game together. Aset of three discs – a driver, mid-range, and putter – are used forthe game. A three-pack of discscan be purchased at sporting goodstores in the $30-$40 range. Or ifyou just want to start with basicplay, a single professional qualitydisc costs less than $15. The sportis popular among college-age stu-dents, with courses often foundon campuses.Playing the game

The website for the ProfessionalDisc Golf Association (http://www.pdga.com/) provides consid-erable information about the sport.Disc golf is similar to traditionalgolf in many ways. A flying discis used rather than a ball and clubsbut the goal is still to completeeach hole (a basket in disc golf)with the fewest strokes (throws).

A golf disc is thrown from a teearea to a target – an elevated metalbasket. With the majority of courseslocated in parks and green spaces,the changes in the landscape – trees,shrubs, and terrain – provide thechallenging obstacles for the golfer.

The website provides a user-friendly course directory. A worldmap indicates that there are over3,500 courses in the United States.A quick search using the zip code55992 revealed 18 courses within30 miles of Zumbrota featuringnine or eighteen holes. Some other

locations offer twelve holes. Sev-eral courses in the state are oncollege campuses; many others canbe found in city parks.

AsThe Worm

TurnsBy Jeanne Truestedt

Gardening angels

Like their heavenly counterparts,Gardening Angels come in manydifferent sizes, strengths and skillsets. Unlike the heavenly hosts,they don’t sport halos, wear flow-ing robes, or sing while on thejob. But they do guard, protect,and build up all they come to aidwith their might, power andstamina.

Armed with muscles of strength,Gardening Angel David has builtup, planted, pruned, and mulchedmuch of this Garden of Weedin’over the years. Archangel DeanWeiss doesn’t require a sword,but comes complete with powertools, truck, and know-how to re-move trees, haul rocks, and per-

form miracles for lawns. Lots ofneighborhood cherubs have pickedbranches up, engaged in encour-aging chatter while visiting thegarden, and shared mosquito biteson a hot summer’s eve. And re-cently an Avenging Angel (com-plete with feathered wings and awhite head) has moved into thegarden and taken over rodent con-trol of the neighborhood. He’s abit scary when he dives down tocatch his prey, but he sure doesclean up after himself!

Of course not all “angels” arecreated equal when it comes toworking alongside us. We self-sufficient humans tend to wanthelping hands who do things thesame way we do, at our speed, andin our time frame. Finding carboncopies of our saintly selves re-quires a major miracle, and we’dprobably find fault with that, too,when we got the bill for servicesrendered. One has every right todo it as Sinatra sings, “MYYY

Way!”...but one should also beprepared to go it alone if that wayis the only way to do things.

Not all potential GardeningAngels are easily recognized, orsometimes even appreciated forthe blessings they represent. For-tunately, advancing age tends tomake us more aware of those thingswe can no longer easily do for orby ourselves: lifting, hauling, bend-ing, kneeling, etc. Yet we some-times consider asking for help orpaying for that assistance a frivo-lous expense…until a serious ac-cident, medical care, or extendedrehab teach us otherwise. Itshouldn’t take a thunderbolt fromabove to enable us to see the ad-vantages of utilizing the garden-ing angels around us. Not onlywill someone share the work, theresponsibility, and the results, butthere will be someone to talk towhile doing so! Sounds heavenlyto me…

No respect for peoplealong proposed Zip Rail corridorsTo the Editor:

A quote in the Post-Bulletin 3/18/15 article “Privately funded planfor Zip Rail emerges” states,“Meadley said her group doesn’tplan to spend time trying to con-vince communities to back theirproposal. Rather, she said theconversation could be focused onthe project’s potential to transformthe region and ideas for what couldbe done as part of it.”

What does Wendy Meadleymean by “..her group doesn’t planto spend time trying to convincecommunities to back their pro-posal”?

If the Zip Rail project movesforward, the “communities” arethe ones that have to live with theimpacts of Zip Rail forever. Whyhave the “communities” not beencontacted?

I live in rural Zumbrota, one ofthose communities along the pro-posed corridors. This kind of men-tality tells me that Meadley, andthe North American High SpeedRail Group (http://nahsr.com/) sherepresents as the NAHSR’s chief

strategy officer, have no respectfor the people, communities, andlivelihoods of those who live alongthe proposed Zip Rail corridors.

I have concerns about Zip Rail—funding being one ofthem. “Meadley said the groupwould cover the total cost of the

rail line’s construction and opera-tion” and “would not be contin-gent on federal or statefunding.” (PB 3/17/15: “A privatebuilder for Zip Rail?”) I say holdthem to these statements!

Progress in keeping promisesmade to our childrenBy Congressman John Kline

Whenever I bring upWashington’s role in funding spe-cial education with my colleagues,I receive an identical response.Regardless if they are a Republi-can or a Democrat, member of theU.S. House or U.S. Senate, virtu-ally all agree Congress needs todo more to fulfill its promise made

40 years ago.Even though getting things done

in Washington many days seemslike pushing rope, I am not givingup on that promise made to ourchildren.

In 1975, Congress passed theIndividuals with Disabilities Edu-cation Act (IDEA) which man-dated educational access and ser-vices for students with specialneeds, with the promise that sig-nificant federal investments wouldsupport state and local school dis-tricts in meeting their obligationsto these children. The precursorto IDEA, the Education for AllHandicapped Children Act, com-mitted federal funding up to 40percent of the additional costs ofeducating students with disabili-ties.

While Washington has nevercome close to fulfilling its IDEAcommitment, significant progresswas made toward this goal from1995-2005. Funding during thoseyears more than doubled the fed-eral contribution to the cost ofeducating students with disabili-ties, from under 8 percent to morethan 18 percent.

Regrettably, the last decade hasbrought steady decreases in thefederal contribution. The declinein funding has profound conse-quences for children with disabili-ties and their peers. School dis-tricts struggle to offer special needsstudents the necessary placements,support, and services they deserve.General education budgets are cutto make up for the shortfall.

I meet regularly in Minnesotawith parents, teachers, principals,and superintendents to discusseducation issues. In virtually ev-ery meeting, we discuss Congress’failure to fulfill its promise withspecial education. While fully fund-ing the federal share of IDEA willnot provide an endless pot of goldto meeting the needs of everyschool, it will free up hundreds ofthousands of dollars for schooldistricts.

Earlier this month, as Congressbegan reviewing its budget pro-posal for 2016, I asked HouseCommittee on the Budget leadersto help Congress move towardhonoring its commitment madedecades ago to students with dis-abilities. My letter requested theHouse budget include provisionsthat would encourage an increasein the federal government’s con-tribution to special education to18 percent, matching the highestlevel of sustained support providedby Congress. I am pleased to sharethe U.S. House of Representativeslast week passed a budget that in-cluded a recommendation forCongress to “prioritize funding forstudents with disabilities providedunder [IDEA]” and “refocus ef-forts to support existing commit-ments before entertaining newprograms or initiatives.”

Last week, I sent a letter to theHouse Committee on Appropria-tions requesting $1.6 billion morethan what was allocated last yearwhich would increase the federalgovernment’s contribution to ap-proximately 18 percent, again,matching the highest sustainedlevel provided by Congress.

Although the request still fallsshort of the federal government’scommitment to special needs chil-dren, it would generate signifi-cant new resources for all statesand school districts and moves uscloser to following through on whatCongress promised 40 years ago.Moving closer toward that bench-mark means schools across Min-nesota and throughout Americacould direct limited resources toaddress their specific needs –whether it is state of the art class-rooms, additional teachers, or newtextbooks – and make it possiblefor teachers and administrators tofocus on the important job of pro-viding the best education possiblefor all our children.

Ensuring the federal governmentkeeps its promises is one of thereasons I first ran for Congress.What better way to teach our chil-dren the valuable life lesson ofkeeping faith than by followingthrough on our commitment tothem.

Local libraries receive $15,000grant to digitize newspapers

Zumbrota Public Library andVan Horn Public Library in PineIsland have received a $15,000grant from the Carl and VernaSchmidt Foundation in Rochesterto digitize area newspapers pub-lished from 1882 to 1922. Previ-ously, the newspapers were onlyaccessible on microfilm throughthe historical societies in each city.

The digitalization is now com-plete and this content is includedin the Minnesota HistoricalSociety’s statewide digital news-paper database (Minnesota Digi-tal Newspaper Hub). This willmake these records more easilyaccessible to a wider audience.To access the Newspaper Hub, visithttp://newspapers.mnhs. org/

The newspapers that are part ofthe project include the Pine IslandJournal from 1882-1891, The News

(Zumbrota) from 1885-1890, andthe Pine Island Record from 1891-1922. The News from July 25,1890 to July 29, 1892 and the TheZumbrota News from August 5,1892 to December 29, 1922 werealready digitized through a SELCOdigitization project.

Distracted driving changes lives: extraenforcement on roads April 13-18By Jessica Seide

A young mother of two, killedwhile on a bike ride with her kids;a teenager who was starting thefirst day of her senior year in highschool, crashes and dies while send-ing a text. These are examples ofhow distracted driving has changedMinnesota lives in recent years.Starting April 13, Goodhue Countywill conduct extra enforcement onMinnesota roads in an effort toreduce distracted driving.Speak Up

April is Distracted DrivingAwareness month. As part of thecampaign, Goodhue County To-ward Zero Deaths is encouraginganyone riding with a distracteddriver to speak up and tell them toput the phone down. The result ofdistracted driving can be devas-tating as it contributes to one infour crashes, 64 deaths and 234serious injuries each year in Min-nesota.

Cause for Concern – 2014 Dis-tracted Driving Minnesota Statis-tics (Preliminary):

• 47 deaths• 7,369 injuries• 16,900 crashesDistracted Driving – Nationwide

Problem:• Drivers in their 20s make up

27 percent of the distracted driv-ers in fatal crashes (National High-way Traffic Safety Administra-tion).

• During daylight hours, approxi-

mately 666,000 drivers are usingcell phones or electronic deviceswhile driving (National OccupantProtection Use Survey).

• Five seconds is the averagetime your eyes are off the roadwhile texting (Virginia Tech Trans-portation Institute).

• A quarter of teens respond toa text message once or more ev-ery time they drive (University ofMichigan Transportation ResearchInstitute).

• Reaching for a phone, dialingor texting increases the risk ofgetting into a crash by three times(Virginia Tech TransportationInstitute).Know the law

In Minnesota, it is illegal fordrivers to read, compose or sendtexts and emails, or access the webwhile the vehicle is in motion or apart of traffic. That includes sit-ting at a stoplight or stop sign. It isalso illegal for drivers with a per-mit or provisional driver’s licenseto use a cell phone while driving,except for emergencies to call 911.

If you injure or kill someonebecause of texting and driving,you can face a felony charge ofcriminal vehicular operation orhomicide.

Driver distractions are not spe-cific to a cell phone. They canalso include reaching for items,fiddling with radio/music/vehiclecontrols, eating/drinking, dealingwith rowdy passengers, groom-

ing and more.Make the right choice

• Cell phones – Put the phonedown, turn it off or place it out ofreach.

• Music and other controls –Pre-program radio stations andarrange music in an easy-to-ac-cess spot. Adjust mirrors and ven-tilation before traveling.

• Navigation – Map out the des-tination and enter the GPS routein advance.

• Eating and drinking – Avoidmessy foods and secure drinks.

• Children – Teach children theimportance of good behavior in avehicle and model proper drivingbehavior.

• Passengers – Speak up to stopdrivers from distracted drivingbehavior and offer to help withanything that takes the driver’sattention off the road.

Distracted driving education isa component of Minnesota’s coretraffic safety initiative, TowardZero Deaths (TZD). A primaryvision of the TZD program is tocreate a safe driving culture inMinnesota in which motorists sup-port a goal of zero road fatalitiesby practicing and promoting safeand smart driving behavior. TZDfocuses on the application of fourstrategic areas to reduce crashes –education, enforcement, engineer-ing and emergency trauma re-sponse.

By Alicia Hunt-WelchWANAMINGO – About a

dozen parents and communitymembers attended the March 23to voice their concern over pos-sible program cuts to KW KidsLearning Center, School Age ChildCare, and the Kenyon-WanamingoSchool District’s finances. A ma-jority of the comments supportedthe school board keeping KW Kidsopen at both school sites inWanamingo and in Kenyon.

Amy Ehrich expressed her needfor the program at both locations,especially to support children withspecial needs. Ehrich has akindergartener and a preschooler.Her youngest with special needsis able to obtain services moreeasily through the school rundaycare and preschool.

Jennifer Rechtzigel said the KWKids program is essential for manyparents, as there are not many jobsin Kenyon or Wanamingo, mak-ing it necessary to commute foremployment. She said having careavailable at the school is vital forparents on late start, early release,and snow days. To keep kids inthe district, Rechtzigel said theseprograms need to be available; ifnot, parents will take their chil-dren to other districts. In the pastyear staff reductions and budgetcuts were made to the program,fees have been increased, and strat-egies were developed to make theprogram more profitable. “Givethem a chance to work,” Rechtzigelsaid.

Teacher Rich Kincaid referredto all the candidates interviewedfor superintendent who echoed theimportance of early education andcommunity education programs.

Chris Mallery encouraged theboard to support the CommunityEducation programs. Mallery saidthe current proposal is sound anda positive balance is forecasted.

Regarding the risk of losing stu-dents if more cuts are made to theprogram, Jackie Traurig broughtopen enrollment figures. Duringthe 2013-14 school year, 73 stu-dents open-enrolled into KW fromother districts, and 108 studentsfrom KW went to other districts.Traurig said families need to stayin the community and in the KWDistrict for the continued growthof both.

Jim Sviggum said taxpayer-sub-sidized daycare is wrong, notingthat it’s a business that needs tobreak even or show a profit. Hetold the board there needs to betransparency in funding, and hetook issue with arguments madethat athletic programs and otherschool programs were not at riskof cuts. He argued that last yearcuts were made to physical edu-cation classes, a sixth grade teacher,and a school counselor position toaddress district finance concerns.The statutory operating debt shouldbe avoided by the district, Sviggumsaid, and Community Education

and KW Kids are non-essentialprograms.The value of KW Kids

Principal Matt Ryan said end-less research supports the valueof preschool and early childhoodprogramming for children. TheKW Kids program is closely con-nected to preschool and gives KWfamilies a childcare option oneclassroom door away, eliminat-ing the need for mid-day trans-ports. Ryan also shared commentsfrom kindergarten teachers on theimpact of having students whoattend KW Kids and preschool intheir classes. Some of points wereas follows:

• KW Kids provides a neces-sary service to parents in our dis-trict.

• It is convenient and reassur-ing before and after care for com-muting parents.

• It is a great option for parentswho are unable to transport theirchild in the middle of the day.

• The program provides an easiertransition to kindergarten as chil-dren are familiar with school rules,lunchroom expectations, the build-ing, and friends who will attendschool.

• Kindergarteners who have beenenrolled in KW Kids can print theirname, recognize letters, count, andare socially ready for kindergar-ten.

• Preschool students with spe-cial needs and on individualizededucations plans are able to re-ceive all day services through KWKids.

Ryan said, “I see a strong earlychildhood and preschool programas valuable investments into theoverall education of children.” Headded that investment in preschooland KW Kids programs help pre-pare students for kindergarten andtheir academic progress beyondkindergarten, and compared it tothe investment the district madein all-day every-day kindergartenbefore it was fully funded by thestate. Ryan said maintaining astrong preschool program and pro-viding the service that KW Kidsoffers certainly seem to fit intothe district’s mission statement.

Interim Superintendent JeffPesta said he had reviewed schoolfinances in the last week. In re-gard to the KW Kids proposal andconcerns some board members hadabout it being too risky for thedistrict’s finances, Pesta said itwas a moderate risk, but one theycan take. Pesta said it was goodfor board members to keep in mindpast budget performance but thatcontinued discussion and hesita-tion to move forward will affectthe variables for the program’ssuccess. Pesta urged the board tomake a discussion and move for-ward.

Karla Bauer said her concernwas the history of fiscal irrespon-sibility surrounding the program.“I’m not convinced, looking at

these proposals…that we are go-ing to make an $8,800 swing inone year,” Bauer said. She hadissues with Plan C of the proposalwhich states that if the programhas shortfalls, adjustments wouldbe proposed for the 2016-17 schoolyear.

Marilyn Syverson said check-ups on profitability over the sum-mer would help her build confi-dence in the program again.

Jeremy Lerfald asked if Plan Ccould be incorporated into Plan Aor B, both keeping sites operatingin both Kenyon and Wanamingofor preschool and daycare. Bauersaid that research should start im-mediately to make adjustments ifsummer isn’t going as projected.

Bauer said research has not beendone for having one site since theAdvisory Committee has not pre-sented that as an option. Bauerwanted monthly accounting, say-ing “We all want it to be success-ful, but we need it off the general

Parents show support for KW Kids programfund.”

Jennifer Smith said she has con-fidence in the KW Kids budgetproposal presented.

Debb Paquin suggested revis-ing Plan A with the compromiseof adding a review of summerprogress in August for changesfor the 2015-16 plans.

Pesta suggested that consultantswould be brought in to look at theprograms’ progress. KW Commu-nity Education Director KrisKincaid said she would welcomethis.

Paquin made a motion to ac-cept Plan A’s hours of operationand fees with the amendment ofthe research development of a one-site option available, with amonthly review of summerprogress, and full program reviewin the middle of June. The motionwas seconded by Smith. Discus-sion continued. Bauer then movedto amend the motion to add: basedon the mid-June review of the sum-

mer program implementation theone-site option could begin as earlyas September 2015, if needed.Bauer’s amended motion was sec-onded by Syverson. Smith saidshe would not be in favor of Bauer’samendment, as there is not enoughtime in July or September for par-ents to make plans for their childand decide on daycare, preschool,and other enrollment options. Thevote on Bauer’s amendment car-ried 5-2, with Paquin and Smithopposed. On Paquin’s originalmotion, the board voted 6-1 toapprove, with Dotson opposed.

To avoid KW Kids being elimi-nated at one site, the program willneed to show it can either run witha profit or break even.Preschool tuitionproposal approved

The board voted to approve tu-ition rate hikes for the KW Pre-school 2015-16 year. The Advi-sory Committee recommendedincreasing the two-day-per-week

classes to $85 per month (currentlyat $74) and setting the three-day-per-week classes at $119 per month(now at $105). Using the currentnumber of participants to projectnumbers for next year, the com-mittee estimated tuition for the yearwould total $77,724 for next year.Tuition for the 2014-15 year isexpected to be $68,094. A motionby Syverson to approve the pre-school tuition proposal as submit-ted, seconded by Debb Paquin,carried 6-1, with Greg Dotsonopposed.Policy to be revised

The second reading of the Com-munity Education policy was re-viewed by the board. Dotson saidthat state statute says advisoryboard members are to be appointedby the school board. The amendedpolicy did not note whom thosevolunteer members were appointedor approved by. A motion by Paquinto send back to the policy com-mittee for re-evaluation carried.
