Olmsted County Journal 7.20.11

Finances were the hot topic for the Rochester School Board at its July 12 meeting. From a lengthy discussion over the utility of renewing membership in a professional organization to the presenta-tion of the 10-year major main-tenance plan, money was on most members’ minds. The district’s membership in

the Minnesota School Board Association – which offers everything from mandatory school board member training to an asset management plan, in which funds not currently being used are invested on the district’s behalf – is ending in a few weeks. Board member Terry Throndson questioned

Citizens of the Rochester area got a chance to give Governor Mark Dayton and State legislators a piece of their mind regarding the State shutdown last Wednesday during a roundtable forum held at the Roch-ester Senior Center. A microcosm of Minnesota’s political polarization was on display outside the entrance. Meeting Dayton at the center’s entrance were a group of a few dozen demonstrators asking the Governor to hold steady in his position that the State’s millionaires pay a higher income tax rate to retain funding for essential services was gathered and soon joined by an approximately equal amount of Tea Party dem-onstrators, chanting “Sign the Bill!” and holding signs, some depicting Dayton’s bust on Mount Rushmore, making the case that the Governor’s policies are hostile to business and will drive Minnesota companies to relocate in South Dakota.

Inside, the crowd was decid-edly more pro-Dayton, though he, along with other elected officials, was asked to get to the negotiating table and get a deal done. A couple dozen local people whose quality of life would stand to take a substantial hit with a prolonged shutdown or enactment of an all-cuts budget shared their stories, putting a human face to the dollar numbers and programs being volleyed back and forth as leaders attempt, or don’t attempt, to bridge the budget gap. Many of those giving personal testimony received State assistance in endangered areas such as commu-nity-based services for the disabled and elderly. Ken Zaiken, representing AARP Minnesota, reminded the audience that by cutting community-based services, elderly Minnesotans would be forced out of their homes sooner and into nursing homes, which will cost the State three times as much

By the time a student gets to college, they are used to sitting in a desk in a classroom, listening to a teacher lecture. While many classes in college are like this, there are some that help a student learn in a more hands-on way. The Minnesota School of Busi-ness has more to offer than just business classes. Two years ago, a program known as Service Learning began, offering students a chance to do a project outside of the classroom that would help with their learning, as well as help someone in the com-munity. Jennifer Oelkers, the Service Learning Coordinator, said the pro-gram has been very successful, and there has been a lot of positive

feedback from the students and the community. This spring quarter alone, 13 classes participated in six programs, with 113 students involved in the projects. There were more than 700 hours served to places in the community. “It’s a chance for the students to use the skill they are learning in class while providing a service to someone,” said Oelkers. “It could be a non-profit organization, a small business, or anybody who needs the service.” During a recent appreciation lun-cheon at the college, there were certain projects that really stood out to Oelkers as remarkable. The first was a project in which students built a raised garden for residents at Hiawatha Homes. Oelkers met with the director of this particular home with four residents, and three

in wheelchairs, that really wanted to have a garden they could work in. “I shared it with the class, and they took it and ran with it,” said Oelkers. One student has a son that attends high school in Triton. He spoke with his shop teacher, and in six days they built a raised garden. The only cost was the steel and the spray used to protect it. “It’s a great example of how you contribute, and how your friends and family are affected by what you do,” said Oelkers. “It’s sort of a trickle down effect.” The home now has a raised gar-den and a ground garden, and the residents there are growing their own vegetables. There are several different kinds of projects that go on for many

Government this week

Letter about government shutdown

To the Editor, NOW do you think it is time to present a [my] solution to the Gov-ernment Shutdown? I’d LOVE to hear pros AND cons! If the legislature and governor can’t do it it’s time for the people to step in and solve the problem so we never EVER will be threatened again with a shutdown: 1) If no agreement is reached by the end of the normal session then the previous budget will remain in place for another two years. 2) Percentage adjustments UP or DOWN will be made to the carry-over budget across the board accord-ing to the percentage of revenue (+ or

-) of the most recent fiscal year. Another option to be considered is a fixed taxation (income only?) limit - e.g. 6 percent of the state’s gross (Gross State Product). Any-thing above that can be done ONLY by the voters in the next election and then ONLY for ONE biennium. Again, a SIMPLE, NO-NON-SENSE solution to the problem.

Letter in response to commentary

To the Editor, In response to several com-mentaries (Mark and Marsha Peterson, and Jason Griggs) recently in your paper. Maybe the “Colonel” was saying that along with an education also goes using common sense. And yes, until America again believes in the one God, as our founders did, and the book He gave us, the Holy Bible, will we again be on the right path.

Eleanor MooreRochester, MN

By Herb Panko, Chatfield, MN Over the past couple of years we have been bombarded by politi-cal attacks from the far right and their fellow Teapublicans blaming our country’s ills on liberalism, socialism, big government, and taxation. These are stale, unsup-portable arguments that have been around for at least 80 years. It was Alf Landon and the congres-sional Republicans in the 1930s who fought against Social Security legislation advanced by forward-thinking liberals and Democrats. In the 1960s it was Ronald Rea-gan, Barry Goldwater, and con-gressional Republicans who bit-terly opposed Lyndon Johnson’s Medicare bill, warning of creep-ing socialism. But thankfully the American people intuitively saw such opposition for what it was---a callous rejection of a compas-sionate, caring democracy. Medi-

care has been in existence now for nearly 50 years, and the sky has not fallen. In fact, I can’t imagine anyone, even the tea par-tiers, returning their Social Secu-rity checks or refusing Medicare. The truth is these two programs have been wildly successful despite the conservatives’ never-ending anti-government rants and cries of socialism. If the American people had lis-tened to the conservatives and fol-lowed their ideology, we would have been by now either a third-world country or well on our way to becoming one. If this seems like an exaggeration, let’s examine how this country would look had it not been for the efforts and accomplishments of congressional progressives/liberals down through the years: There would be no vot-ing rights for women, no OSHA (workplace safety regulations),

no minimum wage, no 40 hour work week, few or no child labor laws, no workman’s compensation insurance for on-the-job injuries, no overtime pay, no unemploy-ment benefits, no employer provid-ed medical insurance, no breaks at work, no safety rules in mines, no or grossly underfunded govern-ment subsidized public education, no government subsidized rural electrification, no Social Security, no Medicare or Medicaid, no vet-erans benefits (conservatives regu-larly try to reduce or truncate these while Progressives try to enhance them), few if any environmental protection laws or regulations, no food or product safety laws, no civil or voting rights for African-Americans, and the list goes on and on. In short, we would look like a banana republic with a landed elite and an oligarchy doing the bidding

of giant mega corporations (some-thing that is already happening). What the right refuses to acknowl-edge is that government has a huge role to play in a properly function-ing democracy. One of these roles is a compassionate attention to its elderly, its poor, its disadvantaged, its sick, and its middle class. A democracy is ultimately judged on how it treats these entities. Conservatives and their wrong-headed brothers, the Teapublicans, need to stop living in a dream world and face reality. We live in a huge country of more than 300 million people and, of course, still grow-ing. In order for a government to fulfill its obligation to adequately care for and protect its citizens, big government is unavoidable, and that is not in itself a bad thing. Could a small, limited government meet its obligations to its people? I doubt it. To achieve that, we

would have to rely heavily on the private sector, and we all saw how trustworthy Wall Street and our mega-corporations were during this last recession. That’s a road I don’t want to go down. Is there waste, corruption, and inefficiencies in government pro-grams? Of course. But that doesn’t mean we revert to the opposite extreme. These problems are all fixable using the democratic pro-cess. Throughout our history, it’s been great progressives like Frank-lin Roosevelt (Social Security), Lyndon Johnson (Medicare), and Barack Obama (the first overhaul of a broken healthcare system in nearly a century) who have had the vision and imagination to help make this country the great democracy that it is. True patrio-tism begins and ends with these kinds of noble visions.

One Moment Please...A beer budgetBy Jason SethrePublisher of the Olmsted County JournalCell phone: 507-251-5297 As America has watched our state g o v e r n m e n t leaders play the biggest game RISK in Min-nesota state history, has it all come down to our beer budget? It may not be Miller time quite yet. As I write this commentary, Gov-ernor Dayton and the GOP are still working on a deal. Regardless of your political stance, I’m sure you would agree that this budget stalemate has had some significant impact on our state economy.

Jason Sethre

What’s really interesting during tough economic times is how we determine what is important to us. In your own household, have you had to make concessions due to a change in your personal finances? Surely, everyone has been forced to make adjustments at some point in their life. At that moment, you may have started to look at the cost of your cable TV, telephone service, Internet service, and other luxu-ries. Look around at all of the state programs that came to a screeching halt effective July 1, 2011. How many of those state funded programs did you miss? It is certainly difficult to deter-mine what we might miss without having those state government pro-grams taken away from us. I think this current state drama has helped us determine what we take for granted that is also deemed neces-

sary. Is our state government a little heavy in some areas? Obviously, for each of us, we are going to have different perspectives on how this government shutdown should be resolved. Seek more rev-enue, cut spending on programs, or a combination of the two ideas. With the private sector, it would be pretty easy to determine what would happen if faced with similar challenges. Any surviving business in the private sector expands and con-tracts based on the reality of their financial position. There is no stalemate. Leaders make decisions to improve the financial outcome and a plan of attack is put in place. It’s not always easy, but it is better than making no decisions at all. No decisions will only worsen the outcome, equivalent to living in denial. So, is Minnesota going to contin-ue to live on a champagne budget? Or, is a beer budget within reach?

Progress?By Andrew Kingsley, Harmony, MN Wow. I did not realize that there are actually people out there who believe it is some-one else’s responsibility to take care of them. That would certainly not be the case in a Democratic Republic. I thought such people were an invention of Fox News and conserva-tive radio, but many like Mr. Panko keep proving them right. So many mistakenly assume that “progress” must be a departure from what has worked in the past. Would “progress” in the freest, wealthiest, most charita-ble nation in human history not be the preservation of the prin-ciples that made it so? Those three things always go together and in that order, by no coin-cidence. We became the freest nation on earth at our founding and that unmatched freedom lead to unmatched prosperity. That unrivalled wealth then made us capable of being the most charitable nation on earth. Only limited government with resultant maximum freedom can provide such a foundation for success. With any due respect, peo-ple like Mr. Panko apparently skipped history class on a regu-lar basis. In response to his delusional fabrication and many others, someone must set the record straight. An inconvenient historical fact is that human beings existed long before any government did. So, we know people don’t need government to exist, but government needs the people in order to exist. This means that anything a govern-ment has, is that which is taken from the people. The bigger the government, the more is necessarily taken from the peo-

Andrew Kingsley

ple. The more power a govern-ment attains, the less freedom the people can have, as rights/powers cannot belong to both parties at once. Raising taxes always hurts any economy and increases the size of government. In our case, it increases the size of already massive, inefficient, and corrupt government; necessarily tak-ing more from the people and decreasing individual liberty, while simultaneously diminish-ing prosperity. Lowering taxes always ultimately increases total revenues by stimulating economies like no government spending ever could. Reality works this way because lowering taxes creates wealth, instead of destroying it. Lowering taxes means less government and more freedom of the people, which has always increased the prosperity of the people. This is historical fact. So called liberals/progressives hate capitalism because they only look at the effects it has on the rich and scream, “they get richer!” They forget that every-one has always gotten wealthier, particularly the poor, under cap-italism. Just look at us! By any world or historical standard, the least wealthy of us are obscenely rich. Whereas under social-ism/communism/marxism/lib-eralism/progressivism/whatever sounds best today/etc., everyone has always gotten poorer because wealth is only destroyed and never created. The only excep-tion to this induced poverty is the tiny portion of people mak-ing up the ruling class. Again, this is indisputable, historical truth. Why would we want that for our children or selves? Let’s say success and its wealth are terrible things as liberals make it out to be. If everyone thought that, there would be no wealth. Whose money would they propose we take then? I don’t see these people freely donating more of their own money to the government. Yet, they are somehow always will-ing to give away someone else’s

money. Perhaps such people should first consider how much more they could do for others, before calling upon others to do it for them. Liberals/progressives are always shouting about how “the rich need to pay their fair share!” The top 1 percent of income earners pays more than the bot-tom 90+ percent do. The top 25 percent of earners pay over 85 percent of our Federal taxes and the upper 50 percent of income earners pay over 97 percent of the taxes. How much more should they have to pay for cry-ing out loud? All of this while our children and grandchildren, who have no choice in the mat-ter, will be picking up the rest of the tab for our cowardly selfish-ness. If we took all the money from all the people deemed as “rich,” do you really believe that would solve any of the world’s prob-lems? After we quickly squan-dered that money, the engines of wealth being destroyed, what wealth would then be left to take? Also, if you have the right to decide what is done with what belongs to someone else, then why would someone else not have the right to decide what should be done with what belongs to you? That is a slippery slope that has failed humanity every time, all throughout history. Money is not the answer. We are the answer. The title of “greatest generation” is often applied to those who made it through the great depression. This makes sense because they all had to make individual sac-rifice for the good of our coun-try and hence, themselves and us. We now must do the same because of our selfish actions. I’m afraid we are such spoiled brats that we may not even know the definition of sacrifice any-more. Would you go to the store every day and charge whatever you wanted to your grandchil-dren, without even asking them? Who could deny that would be despicable? Yet, we do it in this country every day. I beg that we take a step back and ask our-selves, “Who have we become?” Going back to so called “pro-gressives” and others who deem the “private sector” as only evil corporations, banks, and wall street players. WE are the pri-vate sector. It seems that while they’re busy deciding how to best divvy up everyone else’s money, they have forgotten where “gov-ernment money” comes from. Every dollar that gets taxed to pay for our massive government and its employees, had to be wealth created and earned by those in the “evil” private sector, first! They should be careful demonizing the engine of wealth that makes their ideas even pos-sible to begin with. This is not at all to say that all those with government jobs don’t have to work, but the fact is that every penny they get paid had to first be created by those in the private sector. Plain, simple, truth.

We finally heard a democrat or republican speak a word of truth recently, albeit by acci-dent. Governor Dayton recently insinuated that a third party may be necessary to solve our current crisis. For once, he was right. We do need a third party, but not the hand-picked kind that will give him, his desired result. We need a third political party to pry the power from the gripped hands of the democrats and republicans. Their idea of compromise is between spend way too much, or spend way, way too much. They continu-ally distract from their incompe-tence by dividing us. Neither is willing to make the courageous decisions required to put us back on a sustainable path. Even the republicans, who at least claim to be “fiscally respon-sible,” would have us keep up our ridiculous taxing/spending levels and spend every penny we bring in. Would it be wise for your household to spend every penny of income you make each year? What would happen if anything goes wrong? Granted, unforeseen things can occur that are nearly impossible to plan for in life, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t at least try to be a little prepared. We do not need government to take care of us. Not only is it not capable of it, but we simply cannot afford it. History proves it, if your common sense won’t. Only a nation with overwhelm-ing wealth created by a free capi-talism could even have tried this nonsense for as long as we have. Instead, we need to take care of one another. It is within us to do so. Why should those in gov-ernment and those rich enough to afford lobbyists be lining their pockets between your front door and that of your neighbor’s? So long as compromise continues to be between an unsustainable path and a very unsustainable path, the only thing actually being compromised is our chil-dren’s future. And so long as “progress” continues to mean that of government’s growth, the only progress certain to fol-low will be that of out mutually assured suffering.

By Tracy Ebmeyer [email protected] The Dover-Eyota school dis-trict is in good shape finan-cially considering the difficul-ties within the government of Minnesota. The school district paid out $127,045.32 in regu-lar district bills which included $11,060.00, which was used

for a new food service soft-ware program. This program will streamline the day to day food operations. An additional $69,850 was used to purchase the two hundred and eighty HP mini-computers. These will be used by the students for the coming school year for the one-to-one program that

Dover-Eyota School Board and the Valley View Learning Centerwill be in place this September. Special district bills totaled $223,921.00. Current liquid assets total $1,493,854.97, allowing for a sizable cushion in case the government cannot come to a agreement in the fol-lowing months. Principal John Sakellariou of the Valley View Learning Center in Dover approached the school board and com-mented about the Alternative Learning Center in the build-ing that they lease from the school district in Dover. The Valley View Learning Center belongs to the Hiawatha Valley Education District and serves students south of Red Wing to Chatfield. Many of the students attending the Valley View Learning Center come from homes of physical/sub-stance abuse or who are actu-ally homeless, and legislators wanted to find a way to allow students to become success-ful regardless of their circum-stances. Transportation for the stu-dents is vital for the program to succeed and Dover-Eyota provides that service for the program. Although Dover-Eyotadoes not receive money from the state for students involved in theprogram, they do receive funds for the transportation costs involved, with busing stu-dents to the center. The state has implemented measures of accountability, and with Dover-Eyota being the fiscal host for the center, a percent-age of their profits are paid back to the district. Dover-Eyota Superintendent Bruce Klaehn recognized the involvement the district has with the program, being the fiscal host for the Hiawatha

Valley Education District and the rental agreement between the district and the center. “Between being the fiscal host and between renting them one of our buildings, we have a pretty strong tie,” Klaehn said. “In actuality that is Hiawatha Valley Ed’s program and can look a little confusing at times but to put it in simplest form,

it’s their program and they are renting some space from us,” Klaehn said. The option for a learning center in Dover is very impor-tant for the students attending the program, Sakellariou said, and if not for the Dover-Eyota School District, some kids of the surrounding area would be left behind.

By Tracy Ebmeyer In my early twenties I did an apprenticeship with a drywall com-pany in Minneapolis. During that time, I learned the tricks and trades of finishing drywall ,I ended up working nights at a Greek restau-rant in Minneapolis on Lake and Lyndale after working ten to twelve hour days slinging mud. Those made for long days and short nights but I learned quite a bit about Greek food while in the kitchen. It was there I learned of Mousaka, Skordalia, and Souvlaki. All three

are general staples in Greek food. I drove by Opa! Opa!! on 1106 15th ave S.E. last week, right after they opened, and instantly knew I was going to give them a try. I love Greek food and have been on the search for the best Gyro in town. I immediately felt at home as I stepped into the restaurant. It has a great feel; the crew that works there are some of the friendliest people I have ever met, and the food, well if a picture can say a thousand words than look at the one that accompanies this article. My wife Rose and I ordered the Opa! Greek Deluxe for two. I hesi-tate whenever I see a menu and it

Opa! Opa!!

Real Bites By Tracy Ebmeyer

The Opa! Greek Deluxe for two featuring one Mousaka, one Souvlaki, Bourakia, Gyro meat, hummus, tzatziki sauce, spin-ach rice, salad and pita bread filled us to the brim.

Photo by Tracy Ebmeyer

says “for two.” One Mousaka, one Souvlaki, Bourakia, Gyro meat, hummus, tzatziki sauce, spinach rice, salad, and pita bread. I initially was thinking there is no way this will fill the both of us. This little piggy was so wrong! I filled up to full, went past it just a little bit, and then a little more, and still brought enough food back home for another dinner. Mousaka is an oven-baked lay-ered dish similar to our lasagna. Ground beef on the bottom and a pleasant tasting custard on top. This dish is baked in the oven until browned on the top. This honestly was the best Mousaka I have ever tasted. Rose agreed, and she spent time in Greece studying architecture during college. Sou-vlaki is considered more of a style than specific dish in which the meat is skewered. A person can have chicken or pork which is then marinated, spiced, and cooked over the grill. Our Souvlaki was mari-nated and spiced perfectly. The meat had that perfect crisp on the outside and was ever so tender on the inside. Honestly, these first two dishes I mentioned were out of this world. The hummus is definitely homemade, and the skordalia, a puree of potato and crushed garlic, sent my taste buds rocketing. My search for the perfect gyro meat has ended. I enjoy the gyro to have a slight crispy tinge on the outer part and to have a nice juicy inner. I really dislike the restaurants that boil or steam the meat, even if it to just keep it warm. Gyro should be cooked on a rotisserie style of a grill and served piping hot, fresh off the flame. This was the case in Opa! Opa!!, and they have my honest vote for the best Gyro meat in town. Bourakia is a pastry style dish that is wrapped with a veg-etable and then lightly fried. This was also very good and was a fresh taste for myself, as I’ve never had it before. I’m thankful Opa! Opa!! allowed me the opportunity by having this on their menu. This restaurant is truly great and I hope to seem them succeed in such a tight economy these days. Get out friends of Rochester and check this restaurant out! You will not be disappointed.

By Kevin Blanchard The Stewartville School Board took approved the final version of the student laptop handbook at their meeting Monday, July 11. Loren Kiefer presented to the board the letter that parents will receive, the laptop insur-ance agreement and the updat-ed verbiage that will appear in the student handbook. Parents of students in fourth, fifth, sixth and ninth grades will be given three options for covering damage that may occur with a student’s laptop: purchase cov-erage through the school at $15 per unit per school year; purchase a rider on their home insurance to cover each of their student’s laptops; or, person-

ally accept the liability for any damages to the machine. The Stewartville school dis-trict will be holding informa-tional meetings regarding the laptop program on the fol-lowing schedule: August 23 – 6:30 p.m. for fourth grade, 7:30 p.m. for fifth grade; and on August 24 – 6:30 p.m. for sixth grade, 7:30 p.m. for ninth grade. It is necessary for one parent to attend one session. Laptops will be distributed to those students with completed paperwork at their respective open house. This board meeting was also designed to be a “board advance” for the board mem-bers. Heidi Knepper, Direc-tor of Planning and General

Administration for the South-east Service Cooperative, was there to facilitate the results from each of the board mem-ber’s “StrengthsFinder” test-ing. The StrentghsFinder survey was developed by the Gallup Organization to identify each individual’s top five strengths from a list of thirty-four. Dr. David Thompson, Superin-tendent of Stewartville Public Schools, said that he and his staff had completed the process and have found improved com-munication as they complete tasks. The next board meeting will be Monday, July 25 at 7 p.m. in the board room.

different classes. Oelkers described accounting classes that have helped small businesses with cost-benefit analysis. Another accounting class helped the City of Rochester figure out how much money was saved using volunteers in their litter pick-up program, or how much money was saved by the city when they vol-unteered to plant trees. Students in the veterinary technician program have worked with animals at local shelters and the Humane Society. The American Heart Association also benefited from the program, as students helped raise money for research and education. Volunteers have also helped at

places like RideAbility, which offers therapeutic horse rides to children with disabilities. “It’s a non-profit in Pine Island, and it’s just an amazing organiza-tion,” shared Oelkers. Students went to RideAbility and helped take care of horses, upkeep, and working with children. For some people, this was a life-changing experience. Oelkers said that for at least one person, this was the first time working with peo-ple with disabilities, and it opened up her eyes and her life. Reactions from the students have been overwhelmingly positive. “It’s unbelievable the things students are saying,” said Oelkers. “They have said it changed their attitude, and their awareness to be a part of it. They have done things they wouldn’t have normally done, and

been able to contribute.” According to Oelkers, the Minne-sota School of Business recently won an award for their Service Learning and Community Engagement. Students who attend Minnesota School of Business and have classes with a Service Learning compo-nent to it have found that learning outside the classroom can be a fun, interesting, and memorable experi-ence. “It’s a great thing, and I expect it to keep growing and growing, with the partners we have and with new ones,” said Oelkers. “It’s amazing to see how much it’s grown, and how impacted the students are.”

as the in-home services did to begin with. Harry Nevlin described his fam-ily’s experience caring for his son, who has a tramatic brain injury as a result of an assault in which he was near-fatally wounded. Nevlin’s wife receives funding as a personal care attendant for about 30 of the more than 130 hours per week they care for their son, who is incapable of functioning independently. This keeps his wife from finding outside employment and greatly restricts their earning potential.

SHUTDOWNContinued from Page 1

“You see a twenty percent reduc-tion really is a twenty percent reduc-tion in the money we receive,” said Nevlin. “I think we all understand that there needs to be cuts in the State budget given our current economic situation,” he said. “However the disabled community has already paid…and paid…and paid.

from Cardinal group homes and Possibilities in caring for her dis-abled child. Karen Larson discussed her son, Andrew, who was born with a learn-ing disability and the trouble that they had initially with insurance denying a claim for a wheelchair, resulting in her need to carry him,

resulting in her herniated disc. The family continues to care for him, according to Larson, they save the State $48,000 per year by caring for Andrew at home, though it takes a lot of time and effort. “The MRRC waiver is our meat and potatoes,” Larson said. Governor Dayton, flanked by Rep-resentative Kim Norton, who facili-tated the discussion, and Repre-sentative Duane Quam, did much

more listening than talking. Representative Steve Drazkows-ki of Mazeppa suggested that the wealthiest Minnesotans are already disproportionately overtaxed and that the most vulnerable citizens should be cared for by volunteer organizations and private sector entities, removing “the inhumane bureaucracy.” “The rich, by far, pay much, much more than the poor,” said Draz-kowski, drawing the ire of those gathered, which was soon quieted by Norton. One of Drazkowski’s constituents, Steve Kirch of Zumbrota, urged compromise on both ends. Kirch retired just last month from a management position with the Department of Natural Resourc-es. During his 39 years as a State employee, he saw a lot of wasteful spending and plans to continue to work in his retirement to challenge such excess, however he saw value in programs themselves and was disappointed in the time and talent wasted by the shutdown. “My elected official is here today doing everything I’ve had to do up to this point on holding the line on spending,” said Kirch. “While I want to say that I appreciate that very much, we need to get people back to work in this State. We need our programs to continue to help the people of Minnesota.” “I’m willing to take a step forward and ask him (Drazkowski) to do something I haven’t done in the past. And that’s maybe give just a little bit more on his end in terms of trying to solve this budget deficit problem.”

“It’s not a situation where we’ve been expanding programs and now it’s time to retract,” said Dayton.

“We’ve been cutting, and cutting, and cutting, and now some people want to cut even more.” “I tend to believe strongly that the wealthiest people in Minne-sota should pay for their fair share of taxes, but as one Republican legislator made clear today that’s not a shared view.” A couple of area small business owners chimed in to express willing-ness to take on increased tax burden to protect the fabric of the state’s infrastructure. Joe White, owner of Tri-County Aggregate of Medford, described the hardships that his company has endured during the economic down-turn, including laying off more than half of his workforce. However, he feels that his business is coming back and that investment is needed in throughout the Minnesota to keep things going in the right direction. “We made a commitment in this state to support the programs that we’ve funded and we need to main-tain that,” said White. “The cost of

living and the quality of life in Min-nesota take money and right now is not the time to cut back.” White echoed the sentiment that government has to learn to get by with less, as he has with his business, but that he is proud to build roads for the State and feels that we owe security to our senior citizens who have worked to give Minnesotans a great quality of life. He wasn’t sure that he could keep his company going without a “lights on bill”, but was supportive of Day-ton’s stance not to agree to one. “That’s not enough, we don’t need a partial band aid,” he said. It appears that the Governor did reluctantly agree to a band aid solu-tion a day later, offering to end the shutdown by dropping his insistence on increasing income taxes on the wealthiest .3 percent of Minnesotans and agreeing to the finance portion of Republican budget submitted on the eve of the shutdown (minus the policy pieces) which defers 40 per-cent of 2011-12 payments to public schools and sells off bonds from the tobacco settlement to raise revenues that would bridge the gap.

whether the board should let its membership lapse, consider-ing the $14,500 renewal fee. “I wonder about the value,” he said. “Each year it contin-ues to go up. We are in an era here of cutbacks and budget problems. The question is ‘is it worth it?’”

Board member Anne Becker agreed. “$14,000 is an awful lot. I was surprised it was that much.” “When I look at what we get from (the organization), two things stand out,” board member James Pittenger said.

“It provides mandatory school board member training, which helps limit our liability. The other is policy service – it offers

updates and recommendations based on current state law and statutory changes, trends com-ing in education. I’m open to discussing that, but I do see some benefit.” With new superintendent Michael Munoz weighing in on the benefit of such an orga-nization, the board ultimately agreed to pay the fee and main-tain the option of dropping membership later. “I wouldn’t spend the pen-nies if I wouldn’t have to, but I’d prefer to stay in and tele-graph a proactive message to the state of Minnesota – if we vote on it, say ‘we’re staying in but we’re not afraid to leave,’” board chairman Dan O’Neil said. The renewal of the school district attorney contract also arose. “It’s important to set up some type of procedure where every three to five years you do a request for proposals and reevaluate whether you can get the same or additional services at a cheaper cost,” Munoz said.

“However, I would prefer my first year you don’t break in a new attorney at the same time. It’s important somebody has a good knowledge of the dis-trict. Spend this year looking at what’s been spent on attorney fees and what they’re working for. Break down what kind of services you used them for, whether you’re getting bang for your buck or it’s cheaper to

have your own in-house attor-ney. It’s not cheaper the first year because they’re still learn-ing the system, but after that costs have gone down. Board members who want to work with me on that, we can real-ly look at that and bring the information back later in the year.” The board approved a multi-year Microsoft Enrollment for Education Solutions software license at a cost of $102,621 for the 2011-12, 2012-13, and 2013-14 school years, a savings of $125,000 over Microsoft’s price. CDW will provide the license. The 10-year major mainte-nance plan, originally estimat-ed at over $7.9 million, has been revised upward to approx-imately $8.1 million. The plan is district-wide and covers items

such as replacement of heating and cooling systems, plumbing, piping, painting, and bringing buildings into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. According to Larry Smith, district director of finance, it is being done on a “pay as you go” basis rather than by borrowing. In other action, the board unanimously approved the hiring of a new director of human resources, two elemen-tary school principals, a sec-ondary assistant high school principal, a gifted and talented coordinator and an English as a Second Language coordinator. They also agreed to provide bus transportation for students living in the area east of 13th Ave. SE and south of 4th St. SE, deemed as hazardous. The area currently is served by a crossing guard.

By Kevin Blanchard The City of Stewartville approved an ordinance that will provide elec-trical inspections during the Min-nesota government shutdown at their City Council meeting Tuesday night, July 12. Because of the shutdown, con-struction projects in the city were being delayed by a lack of state-pro-vided electrical inspectors. The coun-

City of Stewartville approves electrical inspection ordinance

cil adopted an ordinance, amending chapter 10 of the Stewartville Code of Ordinances, which would allow the city to enter into an agreement for electrical inspection services. The council also approved an agreement with Steven Roberts to provide electrical inspection services for the city. This agreement is a tem-porary measure that will be in place until the state government resumes.

In other action, the council approved a variance request submit-ted by Rick and Jane Weaver that would allow them to construct a picket fence to enclose their back yard for their day care. The new fence will enable them to complete their licensure for their day care. The next Stewartville City Coun-cil meeting will be held on July 26 at 7 p.m. in City Hall.

Wendy Shannon receives Good Neighbor Day award from Byron City Council

Shannon as the recipient of the Good Neighbor Day Award at their first annual ice cream

social kicking off the annual Byron Good Neighbor Days on Thursday night, July 14. Shannon, Superintendent for Byron schools, was one of the three finalists who had been recommended for the award by other citizens. The person submitting her entry said that “Wendy is the heart and soul of Byron’s award-winning school system. She is highly intelli-gent, as well as caring, compas-sionate and kind.” Because of the ice cream social, the council had an abbreviated meeting. The council approved two resolu-tions regarding an amended capital improvement plan and issuance of general obliga-tion refunding bonds that will result in a savings for the city of approximately $198,000 per year. The next Byron City Coun-cil meeting will be held on Thursday, July 28 at 6 p.m. in City Hall.

Seven in 10 renters believe own-ing a home is a priority for their future. This is according to the 2011 National Housing Pulse Survey recently released by the National Association of Realtors®,

which said more renters than ever (72 percent) aspire to home own-ership, up from 63 percent in 2010. “It’s no surprise that most rent-ers eventually want to become

home owners,” said Eric Brown-low, President of the Southeast Minnesota Association of Real-tors®. “They realize the long-term value of owning a home, as well as the safety and stability that go

along with that.” Similar to previous years, the survey also found an overwhelm-ing majority (72 percent) of Americans said buying a home is a good financial decision. In

More renters than ever aspire to home ownership addition, almost two-thirds (64 percent) thought that now is a good time to buy a home. When asked why home ownership mat-ters to them, respondents cited sta-bility and safety as the top reason.

By Tracy Ebmeyer The third week of July is a busy time for the city of Eyota. 2011 marks the thirty-third annual Eyota Days celebration and the city was filled with activity. Early in the week, activ-ities consisted of a track and field meet with a 50-yd dash, 100-yd dash, 400-yd run and 800-yd run. The celebration kicked into high gear on Friday when fami-

Eyota Days a fun time for everyonelies of the area gathered at the American Legion and enjoyed a pulled pork dinner. Other events included Friday’s family fun night with hayrides throughoutthe town, farmers’ market, citi-zen of the year announcement, teen dance, and cow pie bingo. The bingo game includes a large numbered grid with a cow walk-ing around inside the closed off area. The winning number is determined by where the cow

stops within the grid. The Saturday parade began at 9:30 a.m. It consisted of many different floats made by differ-ent organizations in the area and included Elvis imperson-ator Brad Boice. Boice lives in Chatfield and works for the city of Eyota. He has been a favorite of the parade for many years. After parade events includ-ed a sanctioned tractor pull at the Olmsted County Highway Maintenance shop, a frisbee golf tournament, a dunk tank spon-sored by the Eyota Kids Korner, and a barbeque chicken feed, which is a big seller for the city as well. Men’s and women’s softball and volleyball tournaments were held on Saturday and Sunday and included many teams from around the southeastern part of Minnesota. City clerk Iris Neu-mann summed it up perfectly when describing the Eyota Days celebration, “There is something for everybody at Eyota days.”

Long-term economic reasons such as building equity followed closely behind. “Home ownership strengthens communities by preventing crime,

improving education and support-ing neighborhood upkeep,” said Brownlow. “Owning a home is also one of the best ways to build long-term wealth and it also offers home owners savings during tax time.” One of those savings is the

mortgage interest deduction. The Southeast Minnesota Association of Realtors® believes the MID is vital to the stability of the housing market and economy. And so do a majority of Americans. The Pulse Survey found respondents were adamantly against eliminating the MID. Two-thirds of Americans oppose eliminating the tax benefit, while 73 percent believe eliminat-ing the MID will have a negative impact on the housing market as well as the overall economy. “The MID facilitates home ownership by reducing the car-rying costs of owning a home, and can mean significant savings for home owners,” said Brownlow. “Realtors® are working hard to make sure that any changes to cur-rent programs or incentives don’t jeopardize our collective futures.” Closer to home, survey respon-dents identified people falling behind on their mortgages and the drop in home values as critical concerns in local housing markets. Foreclosures also continue to be a large concern. However, the survey also found that respondents were less concerned about the number of homes and condos for sale than in previous years. The 2011 National Hous-ing Pulse Survey is conducted by American Strategies and Myers Research & Strategic Services for NAR’s Housing Opportunity Pro-gram. The telephone survey was among 1,250 adults nationwide, with an oversample of interviews of those living in the 25 most popu-lous metropolitan statistical areas. The study has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.


We know that sometimes life deals us a bum rap, situations can occur that we have little or no control over

financially. In today’s ever-changing economic cycle, job challenges arise that may have caused financial hardships or unexpected medical emergencies may have dealt an unfair blow. As much as we try, sometimes it is very difficult to rebound from unexpected or out-of-control finances without help or understanding from some outside source. We want that opportunity to help. Re-establishing credit can be as important as buying a car. We have lenders working right now to finalize loans. Let’s see how this program works: From the start, our customers are under no obligation to enter this program, they can say no at any time. This program is designed to re-establish their credit in as short a period of time as possible. Other dealerships offer “Buy Here - Pay Here” operations. Generally, you buy a vehicle they want to get rid of, and no credit is established since they do not report to the credit bureau (unless payments are not made) and there are no warranties or guarantees. If credit is established, it’s only with

them so people are trapped inside their spiral of driving less than desirable vehicles and never improving their credit situation, which is the primary mission in this venture. At Zumbrota Ford, we offer all of our customers the opportunity to drive the vehicle that is right for them. We only use lenders that help re-establish your credit on 1998 and newer models, that meet the conditioning and mileage criteria of the lenders. Many of these vehicles have remaining factory warranties and are eligible for an extended

service contract. After paying on this vehicle, credit will be re-established, provided payments have been maintained current on it and all your other credit obligations. Do you have: 1. A full-time job?

2. $1,300 gross monthly income? 3. Stable residence? 4. Down payment or trade? 5. Past credit problems with a drive to re-establsh credit? If so, we would like the opportunity to help you. Call 1-800-757-3080, ask for Brent or Greg for a completely confidential interview and drive home in your next automobile or truck form Zumbrota Ford tomorrow.

The public is invited to the Roch-ester Public Library Auditorium on Thursday, July 28, 2011, at 7:00 p.m. to meet author Kamala Nair as she presents her debut publica-tion, The Girl in the Garden. This event will include Indian food sam-ples and two special flower arrange-ments that will be on silent auction – proceeds go to the Friends of the Library. Copies of The Girl in the Garden are available for sale in the Friends book store. Kamala Nair was born in Lon-don and grew up in the United States. As a teenager in Rochester, MN, she wrote articles for the Teen Beat section of the Post Bulletin. A graduate of Wellesley College, she

studied literature at Oxford Univer-sity and received an M.Phil in Cre-ative Writing from Trinity College Dublin in 2005. She currently lives in New York City, where she has worked at Elle Décor magazine. The Visiting Author Series is sponsored by the Friends of the Rochester Public Library.

Local author to speak at the Rochester Public LibraryROCHESTER, MINN.—The

Rochester Pond and Garden Tour (www.pondandgardentour.com), a self-guided tour of some of the most beautiful and sustainable landscapes around the Rochester, will take place Saturday, July 23, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. The event presents a rare oppor-tunity to see privately-owned gar-dens and speak one-on-one with accomplished landscape designers, green pros and builders. The tour will also host educational activi-ties to teach and inspire neighbors, neighborhoods, and businesses to incorporate “green” practices into their landscapes. Also on the tour is Cascade Mead-ow Wetlands and Environmental Science Center, Rochester’s regional

resource for environmental educa-tion, with focus on energy, water and wetlands. All profits from the Rochester Pond and Garden Tour will be donated to Rochester’s RNeighbors organization (www.rneighbors.org). “This tour is an opportunity to view innovative ways to capture and reuse rain water while enjoying an extraordinary retreat at home,” said Mike Otte of Whitewater Gardens. “It’s about raising consciousness and making a difference one yard at a time. It’s about becoming part of the solution and not turning rain into pollution. Why should we care? Because turning rain water into pollution by forcing it into the sewers and already polluted riv-ers and finally the ocean’s ‘dead

zone’ is a sad state of affairs that we can impact as individual land stewards—and we can do it beauti-fully!” “The tour is a great opportu-nity to visit with some Rochester’s leading landscape companies and to view their work,” said Doug Courneya, RCTC horticulture instructor. “Water features on this tour represent the types of stunning landscape features that can incorpo-rate rainwater recycling.” Maps are available at www.pon-dandgardentour.com after July 20. Cost is $10 per person or $25 per family. Wristbands are available at www.pondandgardentour.com and at both Sargent’s locations, Custom Retaining Walls, Family Tree Nurs-ery, and Maier Forest and Tree.
